Chapter 804 Happy rural life

Sergei's kindness was that Yang Meng was completely let down. He didn't take the road to Yakutsk at all.

It’s really because the road conditions here are really bad---I walked well today, and when I get up tomorrow, I see that the road is gone!

This often happens: Yang Meng slept in the tent all night, but woke up the next morning and saw that the whole tent was buried by snow!

Even if you can start a motorcycle in such a road condition, you can't walk!

Yang Meng also understood why Sergei said that taking this path in winter is a lifelong struggle!

On the road, you often see trucks buried in the snow and unable to move - trapped outside in winter? As long as the car breaks down or dies, it almost means that the car can be thrown in the wilderness and the driver will find a way out!

This is why truck drivers like Sergey and others dare to run this route: if you run alone, you won’t be in front of the village or the shop behind you. If the car breaks down, just wait to feed the wolf.

The winter of Tsarist Russia has a nickname called "bugs in the history of war". Many people jokingly say that the two "epic" bosses in Europe were defeated in the winter of Tsarist Russia: Napoleon once made most of Europe surrender, but he stepped down due to the failure of the expedition to Tsarist Russia; and Hitler, who swept Europe, also returned in Tsarist Russia, and led to the failure of World War II.

This can only be said to be a "joking name", and this statement is not worth pondering.

You should know that the war between the two countries was not only fought for one year, but for four years! Even if German soldiers lack winter clothes in the first year, it does not mean that there is also winter clothes in the later winter! And if you pay attention to that period of history, you will find that the major wars in the later two countries were almost fought in summer----the Tsarist Russians are also afraid of the cold!

The most critical reason for Germans to lose to Tsarist Russia should be said to be that they lose in supplies.

At that time, Germanic attacked the Former Soviet Union with a "blitzkrieg" and broke into Tsarist Russia for 18 days! More than one million former Soviet soldiers were captured. Hitler was extremely excited at that time and directly adopted the slogan of "destroying the Former Soviet Union in three months".

How did the Former Soviet Union achieve the final victory?

First of all, they moved the industry eastward, and the Irkutsk aircraft manufacturing plant was next to Outer Mongolia!

It is such a big place in the Far East, and it takes the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month to fight the Far East? This also gives the Former Su and German confidence to fight to the death!

Moreover, when the former Soviet army retreated, it also implemented the "scorched earth policy"!

The so-called "scorched earth policy" is to put it bluntly to destroy one's own city. No matter what city or village, as long as it is possible to be used by the Germans, then destroy it yourself first!

At that time, Germanic industry was fully committed to producing war weapons such as aircraft, artillery, tanks, etc., but they ignored the means of transportation. The logistics forces could not keep up, and the former Soviet Union's "scorched earth policy" also made the Germans unable to get supplies even if they occupied the city.

What about the Qiansu? There is also the industrial production supply front in the Far East, and there are also the star-striped countries that are constantly transporting war materials. In addition to weapons, there are also construction materials such as cement and construction at the same time. With supply but no supplies, can the Qiansu fail?

But no matter what, the Tsarist Russian winter is indeed terrible.

In comparison, it is much easier to walk on the river. Many small car drivers will go directly to the Lena River if they want to take this road, but this road is relatively dangerous: there are many wild animals here!

But Yang Meng is not afraid of this thing, and she is eager to have more wild game - at least the two little golden eagles need food, right?

Hunting is legal in Tsarist Russia, and every autumn and winter is the hunting season for Tsarist Russia. To be precise, except for the prohibition of hunting from April to August, you can fight at will at any time!

Along the way, Yang Meng caught hares, pheasants, deer, lemmings, foxes... or into his own stomach, or into the little golden eagle's belly.

Think about it from another perspective, although this Tsarist Russian is poor, he still can't starve to death.

Let’s use the Valery family as an example: they have a vegetable garden at the back of their home, where Natasha planted potatoes, carrots and beets. In the spring, she will also raise seedlings and sow cucumbers, pumpkins, peppers, etc. After planting them, she will make pickled vegetables and eat them in winter. This is why there are so many pickled cucumbers here.

Like potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, etc., all have high yields. Natasha can’t finish it and can give it to people or sell it for money. And next to it is the Lena River. Salmon spawning season is fished for various kinds of salmon fish. Fish can be made into fish frozen or smoked fish, and fish roe is made into caviar: How much caviar is her family? The large wooden barrels that are more than one meter high and two meters in diameter are placed in a warehouse! Nearly one-third of the families in Ustikut do this!

In addition, there are forests next to them, and there are too many wild fruits of various mushrooms and wild fruits. When the mushrooms are dried, they are all food in winter! The wild fruits have become jams, which are just basic family survival skills of the Russians in the Far East!

And in winter, it is even more a paradise for the Tsarist Russians.

What do the two Siberian plain wolves in Valerie do? They keep them when they have enough food, and when they are not enough, they are urgent ingredients - there is nothing they can't eat, and there was bear meat and venison in the meal they ate at his house that night.

Well...it's not as delicious as I thought, but it's really edible.

Valery told Yang Meng: In winter, he would kill two deer every year. One of his family and one of Sergei, and the meat from both families in one winter is enough. So although there is a shortage of supplies here, it is really impossible to starve to death.

But in winter, he won’t just kill two deer and get it done! Otherwise, where did the bear meat that Varev came from?

Why are Tsarist Russians so happy to see bears? Not because they like bears, but because of... money!

There are many Han people in Ustikutri. What do Han people like? Wild game! Fur!

Valery and the others would go hunting in winter, with their targets being wolves and bears. Bear skins and wolf skins are both money! Bear paws are even more delicious in the eyes of the Han people!

After a bear skin is cooked, it is still fine to sell it for a few thousand rubles (about 500 yuan). In addition, when selling bear paws or something, a bear catches up with the income of their old couple in a month!

Tang Lujun drank that night and told Yang Meng that those who traveled to transport rely on gray income to make money, such as smuggling! What are the furs, bear paws, etc., not as treasures here, after all, there are too many! Bear paws are all fed dogs here. As a result, in Han Dynasty, it is all money from beginning to end! Of course, it is very strict to catch this now, but the old drivers still have some solutions, bringing white wine from Han Dynasty and bringing wild game from here...

Sometimes when I think about it, the Tsarist Russians live a life that many Han cities yearn for: eating wild game and farm dishes every day.

But eating wild game every day is not that good, at least Yang Meng feels that way now! He set up a bonfire and sat by the fire to peel the rabbit's skin: this is the prey he caught just now.

This stupid rabbit was so panicked that he threw himself into the snow nest and had no way to escape. Yang Meng didn't even have a bow, so she picked it up directly.

There is an advantage of traveling on his own, that is, no one next to him will say, "Why do you want to eat it?" He broke his stomach and skinned it in one go! After feeding the internal organs to two little golden eagles, he took out the condiments and an iron pot, put the branches on the bonfire and made a stand, and supported the iron pot on it.

During this period, in order to save trouble, he roasted food every day. It was okay to eat one meal, but he could eat two meals... Eat every day? I really can't stand it!

Today he will treat himself well no matter what!

He removed the bones of the rabbit meat, tore off the fascia from the rabbit meat and cut it into thin slices. Then he soaked the rabbit meat in evolved snow water and marinated it with iodine and salt. Then he took out the bird eggs found in the forest and mixed them with starch and stirred the marinated rabbit meat together.

At this time, the iron pan has been heated. Pour in peanut oil and heat it. Put the rabbit meat slices in it and then take it out. Then stir-fry the chili with oil, then add the peppercorns, and stir-fry the scallion slices. Then add the rabbit meat slices, add salt, cooking wine, soy sauce, chili oil, and stir-fry. After the stir-fry is cooked, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and a portion of hot spicy rabbit meat will be released!

Scratch a few times on the hard noodles, put the branches on the fire and bake them, brush some oil and sprinkle some chili powder, and roast them with spicy rabbit meat! Tsk, it’s so beautiful!

Yang Meng picked up a piece of rabbit meat and tasted it. Well, it tasted pretty good. It tasted like a rabbit in the mountains when he was a child. He licked his fingers and was about to eat, but suddenly a loud noise came from afar!

He could feel the ice shaking while sitting on the ice. What's going on?

He stood up and looked in the direction of the sound, but saw two high-speed black shadows rushing towards him, with a huge figure in front and a little smaller behind, but that was not a little guy either.

These are two cars, but...

Yang Meng wiped her eyes and confirmed that she was not wrong.

Both cars are crawlers, with a GT-T crawler armored transport vehicle in front. This is a full-season transport vehicle developed seventy years ago in the former Soviet Union, which was specially developed for the Far East's severe cold and complex roads. Logically speaking, this thing should have been retired long ago, but in Tsarist Russia, there is no scrapping. Many military supplies have been retired and become civilian products after retirement. It is not surprising that they drive tanks at home. The car has also been modified. It used to be an open-air carriage behind it, but now it has become an enclosed carriage.

The car behind was even more shocking to Yang Meng: it was a Bentley Continental GT, but the wheels had been removed, and the lower half of the car body was also sawed off and replaced with crawlers-------You have a mine at home? Continental GT made you so much trouble?

The visual effect of the combination of these two cars is also very shocking.

gt-t is an old guy from seventy or eighty years ago, and the Continental GT is a new car not long after it was launched. It feels really strange to put these two cars together!

Seven or eight people got out of the two cars. A very old man looked at Yang Meng, walked to him and smelled the spicy rabbit meat in the pot and lit up his eyes. He said a few words to the person behind him. A young man took out a bottle of vodka and came over to Yang Meng in English and said to Yang Meng: "How about using a bottle of vodka to exchange for your rabbit meat?"
