After picking up a lot of treasures, Yang Mingzhi was in a great mood. He paid one thousand four hundred rubles after all, and he no longer felt guilty about eating the cards.
But the twenty packs of Camel cigarettes were still confiscated, which is what Feryudov and Kastiura said. They just took all the cigarettes and said nothing to the female staff.
Just like that, the small warehouse at the train station was swept away. The stationmaster already knew what happened. He prayed that the guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs would stop here, took the things and got on the military column, and left here quickly, and didn't go out again.
incident.
As for whether the interception will be done again in the future? Of course! If you don't do it in vain, it will be done in vain, but next time you can't be so public. All the intercepted things will be hidden, and the goods will no longer be sold to the outside world. All the railway employees will digest them internally.
All the wooden boxes were moved into the luxury carriage, placed together with Yang Mingzhi's other important luggage, and placed quietly in a corner.
"It's really a bit greedy." Standing in the carriage, Yang Mingzhi glanced at Feludov and Castliura standing on the platform. The two men had a bunch of cigarettes stuffed in their bags. At this moment, the two of them
He was standing on the platform minding his own business, puffing away his breath in great comfort.
"My dear brother, they are smoking. You...you look at them, do you also want to smoke?"
"Stop it! You little girl, why are you suddenly saying disgusting things now? Are you in a good mood?"
"Of course, you bought me a lot of delicious food, how could I not be happy? You gentlemen, just smoke if you want, don't worry about me."
"You...how can I not care about your feelings." Yang Mingzhi shrugged, walked closer to his wife, and gently stroked her shoulder.
"Don't hold yourself back, just smoke one, I really won't be a problem."
"No. If I say I don't want to smoke, I won't smoke. Smoking is harmful to health. I have to stay healthy."
Yang Tao smiled happily and clung to her husband's arms.
There were still twenty minutes left before departure. In just over two hours, a total of five military trains passed by, and another train was stopping to unload. The entire train station platform remained busy, and finally, the last sack of potatoes arrived.
Complete loading and unloading before departure.
Train conductor Semyonov personally led the people, from the front of the train to the last carriage, to check the wheel axles, and supervised the completion of the docking of the front-end armed flat car.
Yang Mingzhi sat quietly on the leather chair. It was almost noon, and the dining car was already preparing today's lunch.
"Honey, it looks like Annie is already helping out in the dining car."
"Well, we will have lunch while driving. After a while, Grishenko and the others will return to their sleeper compartment. There are only a few people in this luxury compartment."
"Feeling a little lonely?"
"No, but it's more lively. Everyone gets together and chats. I think it's very interesting."
Yang Mingzhi looked at his wife's tender eyes and thought to himself, this girl has never been on a train many times in her life, but she is extremely adaptable to train travel.
In the era before mobile phones, train travel often relied on books to pass the time. Of course, it is indeed unique for a group of strangers to gather together to chat. Even some men and women who chat too speculatively can get married.
He continued to caress his wife's little head: "After you finish eating, go and have a rest. You are a pregnant woman and you must rest more."
"Well, I'm like a child and have to sleep all day long? This won't work! When I get to Novosibirsk, maybe I can work in a local hospital."
"Come on! Stop trying to show off. You can just take care of your baby with peace of mind. I'll open a bottle of Coke for you at lunch."
Speaking of this, Yang Tao suddenly became energetic: "Yes, I still want to see a lot of the things you bought. I want to see what the American products are like."
"What else can we do? That's it." Yang Mingzhi shrugged, stood up and took out a can of Coke and a can of yellow peach from the wooden boxes.
He put these in front of his wife and said earnestly: "These two things are very sweet, as sweet as honey, and they are perfect as supplements for women. My dear, when you are in confinement, they will
It’s an excellent nutritional supplement.”
"Yes! You are so kind to me."
"Nonsense, you are my wife." Touching her head, Yang Mingzhi continued, "You can eat and drink good things, but you have to have some control. Look at these sweet things, you may have a chance.
If you eat it every day, you will become obese if you eat it for two or three months. If that’s the case, I won’t be happy. So I have the final say on how much of these nutritional supplements you eat every day, do you understand?”
"Yes! I listen to you." Yang Tao nodded deeply.
By the way, Yang Tao is already a little dissatisfied with herself. She gained a lot of weight due to her pregnancy, so much so that walking is not as light as before. She was very tired after walking seven kilometers in Moscow. However, just six months ago, she carried a gun and a bag.
, how can you still go into battle after running thirty kilometers a day?
A good athlete will be forgotten by everyone. It would be too bad if he eats so much sugar and becomes a fat woman!
…
A loud whistle announced that the military column was about to start. The two guys with blue hats smoking on the platform quickly finished the remaining cigarettes, violently puffing out the smoke, and stamped out the cigarette butts with their leather boots.
Got in the car quickly.
Felyudov and Kastiura smelled of cigarettes. In a short period of time, both of them smoked half a pack of cigarettes. They were really addicted, leaving evidence of cigarette butts on the ground.
"Comrade General, it looks like the train is about to leave. It's so comfortable. American cigarettes are so comfortable." Feliudov said, bringing a leather chair and sitting next to Yang Mingzhi.
Yang Tao gave him a small look, stood up and returned to his box.
"Hey, does your wife have a problem with me?"
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi smiled, "She doesn't like the smell of smoke. I have to say that you look like a big bundle of flue-cured cigarettes."
"Haha, you are flattering me. I have to say that American products are really good. Now I am thinking, why can't we in the Soviet Union produce them?"
"Hey! This problem cannot be explained in one sentence."
"No, it's actually easy to explain. It's this damn war. We can't engage in economic construction. All the people are serving the military industry. There are also 10 million soldiers! I really envy the Americans! They have the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Protection, the German planes can't bomb their Washington at all, and our great Moscow has suffered countless air attacks." Once he said this, Feliudov couldn't stop talking.
Whether it was the familiar Feludov or the relatively silent Kastyura, both of them became very talkative, probably because of smoking a lot of tobacco.
"That's fine, I'm worried that no one will talk to me." Yang Mingzhi just listened to their nonsense.
At the same time, the military train has completed its final debugging. The three boilers are already in optimal working condition. They ignore the wind and rain outdoors and are about to pull the entire vehicle through the rain.
Yes, with a new locomotive, the entire military train is full of power! All the carriages are filled with cargo, so it doesn’t matter if the track is slippery, the huge weight brings great grip. The train conductor no longer worries about driving
Going too fast will cause trouble. Because outside the city, the railway will remain almost straight and extend towards Kazan. = If there is a perfect track, it is really nothing better than this. The military train will run a 60-kilometer "high-speed" in some sections.
!
The time finally reached eleven o'clock in the morning, and with a violent vibration, the stagnant military column set off again.
Thick black smoke emitted from three chimneys, and the military column advanced slowly and gradually accelerated.
From now on, the military column has been galloping on the road leading to Kazan, which is a long journey of 350 kilometers.
By 21st century standards, this journey was not long. But now, military trains can travel for up to twelve hours.
Not long after the train resumed running, the conductor announced the detailed arrangements for the next trip in the luxury compartment. The so-called military train would move along the Volga River and would not stop at many small stations along the way until after the sun went down, in the small town.
We stopped in Cheboksary, added water and coal, replenished the food truck's food reserves, and rested for an hour before continuing our journey.
What the conductor meant was that as long as no accidents occurred during the journey and time was not delayed, the military train would arrive at Kazan, an important station on the journey, in the early morning of the next day (September 9).
Yang Tao sat quietly in her box. She didn't rest. She looked straight out the window. She saw a long river not far away, mixed with the vast world.
An inexplicable feeling of desolation swept through her body. Even though it was not cold in the car because of the small stove, she still sat cross-legged wrapped in a blanket, looking at the scenery and enduring the growling of her stomach.
"Ah, it's time for lunch."
Not long after the military column left Nizhny Novgorod, the wind and rain outside seemed to have weakened a lot, there were gradually no raindrops on the windows, and the rain seemed to have stopped.
After leaving the city and traveling along the Volga River, Star Tao first saw large areas of farmland, and gradually, she could only see large areas of wasteland.
Yes, Lao Maozi's population has always been small but the territory is very large. They definitely don't need too much farmland, so many areas are still overgrown with grass. The whole world seems desolate, but there are some dark shadows on the river in the distance.
Those must be ships. Carambola naturally adjusted her glasses. She could conclude that the Russians were actively using ships for transportation. It is said that Stalingrad, which is currently undergoing a fierce battle, was built next to the Volga River. This way, a large amount of supplies
By sailing down the river from a ship, wouldn't it directly support the battlefield?
A girl knows that her husband will definitely understand many problems. Her husband is a very knowledgeable and talented man.
But he is a man after all, and the wooden door of the box is not very soundproof. He was talking and laughing with the two men!
Starfruit waited quietly for the meal, and her wait finally paid off. As the alluring aroma penetrated her nostrils, her hungry body suddenly became excited. She quickly put on her coat, quickly put on her shoes, and suddenly opened the wooden door.
, asked happily: "Is dinner ready?!"
The Soviet Union is far less sophisticated about catering and cooking than the Chinese, so on the train, all the meals are cooked, which is no different than in a normal restaurant.
Lunch was divided into three, six or nine categories. Yang Mingzhi ate the best, while the others ate more mediocre ones. Yang Mingzhi would not let his wife down, not only did he give her his fried beef, but he also added new twists.
Yang Tao was sitting on the bed in the box, and the person sitting opposite him was her husband.
Today's lunch is piled on the small wooden table in front of the couple.
Lunch was mostly the same as yesterday, including bread, fried eggs, fried steak, and pickled cucumbers. In addition, canned peaches and Coca-Cola made a stunning appearance.
The yellow peach can was cut open, and all the contents were placed in an iron fist to serve as a star fruit fruit dessert, gorgeously placed on the wooden table.
Yang Mingzhi even used a bottle opener to open the Coke bottle cap very skillfully in front of his wife. With a "pop" sound, the bottle cap bounced off.
"Brother, what's going on?!" Yang Tao was amazed. She didn't understand at all. Her husband's performance was too skillful.
"My dear, come and try this. It's delicious."
Star Tao opened her eyes wide, and she saw that the brown-black liquid in the bottle was generating a lot of bubbles. From her perspective, all she could think of was boiling water. But it was at room temperature, and there was also a kind of water that floated out of the bottle.
The incredible strange sound that I had never smelled aroused my desire to drink.
She tentatively picked up the bottle, put the bottle mouth against her mouth, and licked it lightly with her tongue, her whole heart melted.
There was no need to study at all. She drank half a bottle of Carambola. Although it had a bitter feeling, the accompanying sweetness and the boiling feeling of a large number of bubbles in her mouth completely refreshed her outlook on life.
Yang Mingzhi happily watched his wife drink half the bottle, and looked at her smacking her lips as she tasted the aftertaste.
"How's it going? How do you feel?"
"Well, it's very strange... burp~"
This time, Yang Tao burped the longest in her life, and her nose smelled that what came out of her mouth was actually a kind of aroma.
"Ah! What happened to me?" Star Tao's eyes widened, and he instantly understood that the reason for his hiccups was the liquid in the bottle.
She looked at her husband in confusion, "What's going on? I'll be fine."
"Haha, silly girl, this is called a carbonated drink. You will burp after drinking it. It's very interesting. How does it feel? Isn't it very sweet?"
"Well, yes, I still have the urge to continue drinking."
Yang Mingzhi nodded. He knew very well that the formula of Coca-Cola in 1944 had not been modified. The original Coca-Cola was coca water, a potion used to treat headaches. People mixed sucrose in it to suppress the bitter taste. This was the original Coca-Cola.
With the invention of Dutch water, a carbonated version of Coke appeared. It developed further and gradually changed from a potion to a drink. Of course, more than a hundred years later, it became one of the major culprits of type 2 diabetes.
For example, the formula of carambola still contains coca. After World War II, coca was replaced by caffeine. If you drink too much, addiction is inevitable.
Telling her too much will only increase her doubts. Yang Mingzhi urged: "Drink it all and then eat. Here, you have to eat as much as you can of the canned yellow peaches on the table. After all, your name is after this."
The fruit is named after it.”
"Eh? Really? Didn't you say that with my surname, my name would be a five-pointed star-like fruit?"
"Of course, your name is after two kinds of fruits. My dear, don't wait any longer. You can continue to rest after you have eaten."
From Dr. Raslyukin, Carambola learned that there is a substance called insulin, which is responsible for turning sugar into fat, also known as fat. Things that are too sweet are delicious, and the days of eating fish and meat every day are also depressing.
I am fascinated by it. But if you have a certain limit and just eat and sleep like this, it will be difficult not to gain weight.
The husband is right in front of him. He gives the order to "eat" and he must carry it out.
No matter what, when we get to Novosibirsk, we still have to try our best to return to normal! (To be continued)
