Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"It smells so good, what is this?"

"Do you know the famous dish in Northeast China called 'Three Immortals of the Earth'? It's made with bear meat, venison, and tiger meat. I've never had it before."

I saw these kinds of meats today, so I decided to try cooking them.

As he spoke, the two Russian women were already eagerly using their forks to skewer the meat.

The meat had already been boiled in plain water by my aunt.

Add seasonings again, and stew until it's incredibly tender.

The Third Immortal is a famous dish from Northeast China.

The tigers, bears, and deer that were once on the "royal" dinner table have been replaced by dragons, pheasants, and roe deer.

Ultimately, everything edible was added to the protection list.

I barely managed to make this dish using potatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers.

Even readily available ingredients can be made into delicious dishes.

It's easy to imagine how delicious the original version must be.

A huge pot of the third immortal.

A week's worth of food for an average family.

Perhaps because these Russians had never eaten anything good, they even ate bread with soup in one meal.

Lu Weiguo only scratched the surface.

It wasn't that he wasn't greedy, but he was really embarrassed to compete with these two young women who had never eaten anything good.

The meal was quickly devoured.

Two hours to cook, five minutes to eat.

There was no need to clean up after the meal; the three of them lay down on a floor made entirely of wolf skin.

Having been here for two days, Lu Weiguo finally had the opportunity to explain his purpose.

The aunt took off her apron, revealing herself wearing a short-sleeved shirt and underwear, and lay on her side on the carpet.

She didn't feel cold at all, and when she went in and out to get firewood, she didn't even put on a coat.

If this happened back in my hometown, my mother would probably scold me to death.

Katerina plopped down on Lu Weiguo's lap.

She nestled in Lu Weiguo's arms, fidgeting here and there, playing with the crank handle, having a wonderful time.

"Ahem, stop fooling around. I've brought you everything I promised."

Where is everyone else at your house? I haven't seen them at all.

Katerina had always maintained contact with the Qian family.

The reason Lu Weiguo didn't feel surprised when he saw the little girl at the village entrance was because...

I guess it's because people with his face always come by.

And things turned out exactly as he expected.

Their family, and even their village, have always had the support of the Qian family.

They delivered grain, seasonings, and rare handicrafts.

Russia's heavy industry is exceptionally developed, but because of this, its low-rise buildings are not as well-developed.

However, something happened to the Qian family.

With no more opportunities to resell, the men in the family went hunting in the mountains.

Hunting is their only means of survival.

As for farming?

They used to live in the more northern regions, and it was only in the 1950s that they were arrested for plundering Chinese territory.

Those who were lured here by the Russian leader never even considered it.

"You can handle this batch of seasonings yourselves. If possible, just give me a few more bear skins like these."

Lu Weiguo chatted with his aunt for a few minutes. After all, he had been reborn and had experienced the era when the Russians traded bear paws for nail polish.

They knew this thing wasn't a good thing for them.

"No problem, there are plenty in the warehouse, you can pick them out when you leave."

My aunt nodded in agreement, saying that this kind of transaction was the fairest.

Everyone felt like they had made money.

"By the way, Katerina told me you're a professor?"

Lu Weiguo still remembered the word "little" from earlier and wanted to find out about his aunt's situation.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Vera. I work at a research institute. The situation has been a bit turbulent lately, so I came back to hide out here."

Mildly spicy?

"Oh, then my name is Chong La," Lu Weiguo replied jokingly. "Research Institute? Researching what?"

"Aren't you curious about why the situation is so turbulent?"

Vera changed the subject.

"I know this. The upper levels are corrupt, overly idealistic, and have a strong personality cult; those below are inactive, their thinking is too radical, the social structure is unreasonable, and the production methods are cumbersome."

Ideological work has been influenced by the West.

For Lu Weiguo in later generations.

This is no different from the content of a primary school politics exam.

These are knowledge points that almost every child who has gone through nine years of compulsory education must know.

He said it casually, but his aunt Vera went from joking to being shocked, and finally she turned over and lay down in front of Lu Weiguo.

They were face to face, their noses almost touching.

"Ideological work? How did you know that?!"

Vera's heterochromatic pupils contracted rapidly.

Staring intently into Lu Weiguo's eyes—that's the word.

Let alone a young person from another country, even the high-ranking officials of this country don't know about it.

She does work at a research institute, but she doesn't research physical objects.

It is not about ideas, but about thought.

"We share the same communist ideals, why wouldn't I know that?"

Lu Weiguo remained calm, and he wasn't faking it.

This isn't in the country, so he can't just say whatever he wants.

"Huh? You... your thinking has become so advanced? How do you understand our problems so well?"

In the minds of the Russians, they consider the United States to be one of the two top countries in the world.

of course.

It includes all aspects.

Therefore, it's hard to imagine that a casual remark by Lu Weiguo was actually something they had been researching for months.

The root cause of the problem has been found.

Of course, it was also because of these words that she hid in her hometown.

"It's not about understanding, it's about scientific overturning and historical experience. You don't have our country's long history."

Having never witnessed dynastic changes or historical shifts, everything they see and experience is considered new.

But we are different. In five years, twenty years, one hundred years, three hundred years, at every point in time, there will be epoch-making cultural progress.

Of course, this also applies to our thinking; we can learn from history.

It's like we're still on the path of communism, while you're already flirting with madness on the edge of destruction.

Not only Vera, but even Katerina was stunned by Lu Weiguo's upright smile, which was like a flower bathed in sunlight.

have to say.

The education I received from childhood was not in vain.

This is what a successor to communism looks like.

It almost brought tears to the eyes of those two Russians.

"Yes! That's it! You...you guys...are excellent."

"Yes, we are excellent." Lu Weiguo was not modest at all.

"Baby, you have great taste. I like outstanding men, and I like men with brains even more." Vera gently kissed Lu Weiguo's cheek.

He turned to Katerina and said.

"Unfortunately, he has a woman and a family," Katerina said with a hint of disappointment.

"So you should cherish it even more." Vera stood up, the scent of perfume mixed with the smell of sweat brushing past Lu Weiguo's nose.

Fortunately, Katerina rushed over immediately.

"Lu, let's not waste any more time. Auntie is right, cherish me..."
