Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 563 Wild Animals Hold a Conference, Local Products from Siberia

Let’s not talk about Lu Sihai and the others.

Fang Yan rode a motorcycle and went home with his master and Lu Wangyou.

The snowflakes from the sky were already falling heavily, and the cold wind was blowing at this moment, making Lu Wangyou, who was hiding in his grandfather's arms, feel very cold.

When Fangyan saw that the old man was shivering, he knew that the motorcycle was really cold.

He stopped the car on the side of the road, took out the key, opened the box in the car, and took out a military coat. This thing weighed more than ten pounds and was quite thick.

There was also some kind of animal fleece inside, which was a gift from Anton to him when winter came.

But it was obvious that the dialect was of no use, so he just used it to block the wind for Master and Lu Wangyou.

This time when we set out on the train again, hiding behind the military coat, I suddenly didn’t feel the cold wind anymore.

Lu Wangyou was curiously touching the soft fur, looking like he couldn't let it go.

Lu Donghua touched it and sniffed it, then said:
"Your coat is very well made. It's plain on the outside, but it's made of mink on the inside."

When Fangyan heard that it was Diao Rong, he said to his master:

"This thing was given to me by your disciple Anton. I don't usually wear it, but I'm offering it to you this time."

Fangyan didn’t give anything to his master this winter, so this time he might as well give this thing to his master.

Lu Donghua shook his head and said:

"I don't want your apprentice's gift to you. I am an old man and I usually stay in my room. I won't be cold."

In fact, the old man wanted it mainly because he felt that he had not taught the dialect and had gained a lot of fame. Now he wanted a coat again. That would be very embarrassing.

The dialect said:

"Now your disciple is giving it to you as a gift, please accept it."

"Besides, if you wear it, can't you tell others that it's a gift from me?"

"Then how proud I am to be his disciple!"

When Lu Donghua heard the dialect's words, he burst into laughter.

Not to mention, now he likes to show off his apprentice Fangyan.

There's nothing I can do. No one else can compare to me.

Thinking that other old men might see him wearing this military coat and ask him who gave it to him, and that he would be able to use his dialect immediately to start a conversation about showing off his apprentice, the old man stopped insisting.

He smiled and said:

"Okay, then I, an old man, will shamelessly accept it."

……

When they arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Fang Yan found that Sofia's old Studebaker was parked in front of his house.

On the way back, Fangyan told the old man who the guests would be today.

When I got off the car, I said to him:
"Anton Sofia and the others have arrived."

When the engine sound of Fangyan's motorcycle was heard, he didn't even have to open the door. The dog in the yard took the initiative to act as the doorbell. It barked a few times, and someone came to open the door immediately.

"Mr. Lu!" The ones who came to open the door were my younger brother and Chen Kaige.

Both of them knew Lu Donghua, so they greeted him enthusiastically.

When everyone entered the Fangyan courtyard, other members of the family also came to greet them.

They all greeted Mr. Lu.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Anton and Sophia bowed to Lu Donghua without being asked, and were very respectful and polite.

When Zhao Zhengyi saw this, he immediately followed suit, came up to Lu Donghua, bowed respectfully, and shouted:
"Master!"

Lu Donghua agreed with a big laugh.

Fang Yan then invited everyone to go into the main hall.

Zhu Lin poured tea for the old man and said:
"Master, you haven't been here for a long time."

"My husband still misses you all the time and wants to go out with you, but he's busy and you're busy too, and it's so cold today, so it's really hard to go out."

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said:

"It will be early next spring. I will come over more often when I have time."

Zhu Lin smiled and replied:

"Okay, I'll definitely come more often then."

At this time, Lu Wangyou saw Zhengyi Mingzhu, Zhu Qian and Ye Hong playing. They were playing with the dog, so she also wanted to go over.

Seeing this, Fang Yan said to her:
"Forget your worries, go play with them."

When Lu Wangyou heard this, he didn't hesitate and went over to say hello.

This girl is also an outgoing person who likes to make friends. It didn’t take long for her to get along well with the other four.

Running around in the yard with the dog.

Don't mind the snow at all.

At this time, Fang Yan settled his master and Lu Wangyou, and then went to greet Bachukayev.

This time, Big Maozi came with his wife.

The family of four came to celebrate with Fangyan.

As soon as Fangyan went over to shake hands with him, this guy came up and gave Fangyan a hug.

Then his wife also gave him a hug.

Lu Donghua, the more conservative person in the room, was stunned by the look.

I didn’t expect that I could gain so much knowledge at such an old age.

"Oh, Davari, I knew right then that your mind was extremely powerful, and not something that ordinary people could match!"

"Now it proves that my point is correct! Hahahaha..."

After the hug, Bachukayev praised him in dialect.

His language is still not as authentic as the Russian one at home, and it always makes people feel like it has a hint of mutton kebabs.

But the problem is that he is not... Fangyan now doubts whether the teacher who taught him Chinese did not speak standard Mandarin to begin with.

Otherwise, how come the little Russian has changed, but he is still the same.

Fangyan shrugged and said to Bachukayev:

"Dawali, your words are always irrefutable."

Upon hearing this, Bachukayev immediately laughed, because he knew that Fangyan was talking about the incident when Anton and Sophia became his disciples.

"I brought you what you needed this time, I hope you like it."

As he said this, he waved to Anton who was standing beside him.

"Anton, take the things out."

Anton nodded when he heard this.

Then he immediately pulled out two large suitcases from under Fangyan's table.

Then, together with Sophia, they opened the box on the ground in front of everyone in Fangyan's family.

Then, a number of long and short objects wrapped in brown paper were revealed.

"What?" Everyone around came over curiously.

Chen Kaige sniffed, frowned, and said:

"Oh my god, what is this stuff? It smells so bad!"

Meng Jimin sniffed and said:
"It tastes like a tiger or a bear or something."

Bachukayev said:

"Doctor Meng, you have a very keen sense of smell."

Hearing this compliment, Meng Jimin said awkwardly:

"Oh, dear Comrade Bachukayev, we Chinese people generally don't praise others like this, as it can easily cause misunderstandings."

"Really?" Bachukayev looked at his son in disbelief.

Anton nodded and said:
"That's right, Dad. If you say that, it's easy for people to think you're implying that others are dogs."

Meng Jimin's face was filled with black lines.

He said:
"You don't usually need to say this in front of other people."

“……”Anton scratched his head, feeling that he had not yet learned etiquette well.

At this time, the elder brother-in-law Zhu Lang couldn't help but ask:

"So what's in here?"

Bachukayev smiled and said:

“A specialty of the Soviet Far East.”

After saying that, he squatted down and began to unravel the brown paper.

As he unwrapped the pieces of brown paper, a stronger smell emanated.

Tiger bones, tiger skins, tiger teeth, bear paws, bear gall, bear skins, reindeer antlers, seal skins, as well as lynx fur, wolf teeth, and wolf skins.

These two large boxes are filled to the brim with all these things.

One complete tiger skin, one bear skin, one seal skin, one lynx skin and one wolf skin.

Other valuable items include tiger bones and bear gallbladders.

Especially bear bile, Fangyan saw several of them.

They are all first-class golden courage.

Historically, there has been no unified, absolutely authoritative standard for the classification of bear bile. There are differences in the classification methods in different regions and industries. However, in China, it is generally classified according to the appearance characteristics of the bile.

The third grade is cauliflower gall: the color is mostly yellow-green, the gall kernel is cauliflower-shaped, the texture is loose, and the cross-section has a granular feel.

Its smell and taste are relatively weak, and it is considered to be a relatively low grade in the bear bile classification, and its medicinal value is also considered to be relatively limited.

Second-grade iron gall: also called ink gall, darker in color, mostly dark brown or black, hard in texture, with a glass-like luster on the cross section.

Compared with gold gall, iron gall has a slightly weaker smell, a stronger bitter taste and a less obvious aftertaste than gold gall. Due to its hard texture, it is relatively inconvenient to process and use, and its medicinal value is slightly lower than that of gold gall in traditional concepts.

Then there is the first-class golden gall: this thing is also called copper gall, and it is the highest quality grade among bear gall.

The appearance is golden or orange, translucent, crisp, easy to break, and shiny on the cross section. It has a fresh smell, bitter and sweet taste, and a cool feeling that reaches the root of the tongue.

In traditional knowledge, golden gall contains a high level of active ingredients and is considered to have the highest medicinal value.

In addition, bears are also classified according to their species abroad.

That is, black bears and brown bears.

Black bear bile is a more common source of bear bile in China.

Generally speaking, the bear bile produced by healthy adult black bears is of relatively good quality. In the above-mentioned system of grading based on the appearance of the gallbladder, different grades may appear, such as golden gall, iron gall, and cauliflower gall.

The quality of black bear bile from different origins and growth environments will also vary. For example, the black bear bile from Northeast China and other places is traditionally considered to be of excellent quality due to local climate and other factors.

But the thing in this box is obviously not a black bear from Northeast China.

But it is a brown bear with a larger body.

This is the Siberian brown bear, which netizens later jokingly called the Siberian giant hamster.

Brown bears are larger in size and usually have larger courage.

Brown bear bile also varies in appearance and quality, with some being golden in colour and having excellent texture and odour, and therefore classified as a higher grade.

In traditional applications, brown bear bile is also considered to have high medicinal value. However, due to the relatively small number of brown bears in China, it is more difficult to obtain their bile.

But this time, Bachukayev and his men brought several of them over.

It really goes far beyond the surprise of dialect.

But the quality is indeed high.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Dawali, name a price, I want them all."

Bachukayev heard this and shook his head:
"Dawali, what are you talking about? I told you, these are all gifts for you, no money required!"

PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

There will be more later.
