    The members of the Soviet delegation were finally able to have a good sleep today. In the past few months, they had either slept in the wild or huddled in a carriage shop in a rundown village in northwest China. This made these people accustomed to it.  It was unbearable for the big shots in Moscow to have to use warm beds.  ¡Ó Not to mention those ubiquitous fleas and mosquitoes. If they hadn¡¯t been worried about losing their lives on the pistol on Political Commissar Aruqia¡¯s waist, these Bolsheviks, who had not suffered for a long time, would have turned around and returned to Moscow.  .  However, they finally arrived at their destination, and the place where they stayed was not as shabby as they had imagined. It was even more advanced and comfortable than the sanatorium in Moscow.  Therefore, after eating the borscht and the so-called Chinese bread served by the service interns, most of the members of the delegation had fallen asleep, leaving only the delegation leader Volkaski and the political commissar.  Aruka was still talking in his suite.  "Comrade Volkaski, did you notice anything special when you were out for a while?" "Except for finding people from other countries, there is nothing special. However, this so-called guest house has really advanced facilities. The corridor outside  The light is sensor-based and shines wherever you go, and the light is very soft. I suspect it is not our ordinary light bulb. But in general, it doesn¡¯t look like a Chinese worker who couldn¡¯t even send a truck to pick us up.  The Communist Party of China has been eliminated? Are we now on the territory of the Republic of China?" Aruqia, who looked gloomy, shook his head and said nothing. At this time, the suite  There was a sudden knock on the door.  somebody is coming.  The two people in the room looked at each other, and then Volkaski stood up, walked to the door and opened it a crack.  Outside the door, there were two people standing. One was a man in German uniform, with an armband with a dazzling Nazi swastika on his left sleeve. He had a military cap under his arm and a riding crop in his right hand, while the other  One of them is a Chinese. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be a service staff of this guest house. He is waiting behind the German with a dining cart in his hand.  Seeing the door open, the German said in Russian with a slight accent.  "This should be the leader, sir. I am Second Lieutenant Hanfu from the German delegation. Our leader knows that you have just arrived, so I'm afraid you haven't prepared anything. He specially asked us to send you some daily necessities. Everything else in Yan'an is fine here.  Things are hard to buy, and everything costs money." As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Although the Soviet Union does not like Germany, the two countries are now friendly to each other on the surface. In addition, they are the Soviet diplomacy.  The staff of the ministry also knew very well that a delegation similar to theirs was in Berlin at this time.  Therefore, Volkaski turned around and signaled to Arucha. After getting the latter's approval, he took off the safety chain on the door and opened the door.  He gave way to the right and then said politely.  "Second Lieutenant Hanf, please!" Seeing that the other party invited him in, the German noncommissioned officer signaled with the riding crop in his hand and asked the waiter behind him to push the dining cart in first.  Then he adjusted his straight military uniform, held his head high, and walked in.  All the way to the desk in the suite, he signaled the waiter to lift the cover on the dining car, and then brought the things to the desk one by one.  And Lieutenant Hanfu explained everything one by one.  "Dear Soviet gentlemen, Yan'an is different from your Moscow. Almost everything here needs to be purchased by yourself. However, our regiment leader, Major Tim, thinks that you are unprepared for coming from afar, so I will give you some gifts first.  Necessary items. This is toothpaste and toothbrush. When you open this paper box, there will be something wrapped in cellophane. You can use it after you open it. You can see that this little thing is toothpaste. Just flip the lid over.  Save this can and it will last you a week. I have prepared 8 servings for you here. You don¡¯t have to worry about it this week. However, I suggest that you buy more in the end. This thing is often out of stock. Chinese people don¡¯t like this stuff.  I like to use salt to brush my teeth. This is a towel for you. Such soft towels are rare here. We happened to buy some more when we first arrived. If you buy them, this one will be considered.  It only costs 10 US dollars, but it¡¯s worth the money. The Americans didn¡¯t like it at first and they snatched it up for us. Now they can¡¯t buy it. I suggest you embroider your name on it so that the waiters here can clean it every day.  Then I can deliver it directly to you." As he said this, Second Lieutenant Hanf specially picked up a light green quick-drying towel and handed it to Volkaski to let him feel the softness of the towel.  And Volkafs, who was born into a family of textile workers,Ji took the towel and immediately realized that the thing in his hand could not be manufactured with the current Soviet textile technology.  "The German on the side was enjoying the Soviet people's surprise at this moment and said leisurely.  "How about it? It feels good. Americans didn't like this thing at first because they had to use their own foot wraps. Later they realized that this thing was good and we bought the remaining towels. I gave them to  I kept a few for myself, and it would be a good idea to give them to others when I get back to Berlin." The capable-looking Second Lieutenant Hanfu was talking proudly at this time, completely unaware of Aruka standing behind him.  Already frowned.  "Ah, this is a good thing. It's called an electric kettle. It can be used to boil water. You can pick up the water directly in the bathroom. There is a shop selling coffee in the lobby downstairs. If you need it, you can buy it. It costs 5 dollars a bag.  Just make it with boiling water. It tastes very good. You don¡¯t need to add sugar or milk. If you want to drink tea, there are cups and tea leaves in the cabinet next to the door. You can just take it out and make it. But I still can¡¯t get used to it.  Chinese tea is so bitter. This electric kettle is good. It costs 100 US dollars. Of course, I have seen cheap ones for tens of dollars, but it is not as good as this one. Our group leader grabbed more than 40 units. This is not good.  , I will give you one. If you come back before dinner, you can boil it in water and eat it. If you want to order food after dinner at the guest house, there will be a service fee, which is very expensive. " said Lieutenant Hanfu with a smile.  He took a paper bag from the waiter's hand and opened it. Inside was a piece of white bread and two packets of powder wrapped in cellophane.  Then he picked up a bag of powder and said while shaking it.  "This thing, the workers here call it instant noodles, it should be a field food. You see, put this noodle in the rice bowl, soak it in boiling water for a few minutes, and then sprinkle it with the powder and you can eat it. It tastes very good. I even  I think it¡¯s much better than the so-called Chinese food provided by this guesthouse. Huaxia is indeed a paradise for food. Turn right outside the guesthouse, and the Huaxia bread in those small shops is also delicious and very cheap.¡±  Alucha, who was still serious at first, was frothing at the mouth while introducing various things. Arucha, who was standing behind him, was already frowning and a little impatient. At this time, Volkaski saw it.  Here, the mind and spirit met and he immediately spoke.  "I'm really grateful to our German friends for their hospitality. It's really a waste of money. Don't the Chinese people here arrange food and accommodation for the guests?" Second Lieutenant Hanfu, who was introducing the guests enthusiastically, was not surprised when he heard the other party ask this, and he smiled.  said.  "The Chinese Workers' Party said they are very poor, so they don't provide breakfast every day. They provide it regularly at noon and evening. I'm afraid their person in charge will give you meal coupons tomorrow, but to be honest, maybe the Chinese people think it's delicious.  But we couldn¡¯t accept it. The most terrifying thing was that yesterday¡¯s dishes were all filled with pig offal. I was watching those Chinese people happily eating pig intestines and kidneys, and I almost vomited it. In the end, I ran away to my room to eat.  This instant noodles. In addition, although they provide standard food and accommodation, it is not enough for you, and you need to buy many key items by yourself. It seems that Chinese people don¡¯t bathe often or brush their teeth, so there is nothing but toilet paper in their bathroom.  There are not many other things, and the soap is very small. If you take a shower, it will be gone. By the way, you have to grab a shower here. There is not much hot water. Although the faucet is supposed to have hot water when it is turned on, it is usually there.  It will be used up before 7pm. I asked their person in charge, and it is said that it is because they have a meeting recently, so there are too many people, and the hot water cannot keep up. According to my recent test, I recommend you to use it every day.  When I take a shower at noon and afternoon, there are not many people in the building at that time, but there is plenty of hot water. The only drawback is that the Chinese people do not provide bathtubs, so everyone can only stand and shower. But I heard from the Chinese people here that it is very hot here.  The water is not boiled by the boiler, but depends on the sun. If it rains, there will be less hot water. If the weather is good, there will be enough hot water. Ah, by the way, there is also this. This is the monthly transportation ticket here. We have a large group.  I've applied for a few, but it's of no use, so I'll give it to you. A monthly pass can be used for 30 days. Do you see these small squares? After you get on the bus, those Chinese people will stamp it here, and then during the day  , you can take any kind of bus here in Yan'an. This monthly ticket is 20 US dollars, which is not cheap. And this is a hair dryer, which is much easier to use than those big gadgets in our country, and it can be adjusted.  Temperature, each one is 50 US dollars, which is very good. I also bought a lot of them. I use them after taking a bath and I will not have a headache when I go to bed. This one was also snatched by our group leader, and it is no longer for sale " At this time, Han.  The second lieutenant husband was still talking endlessly, but the hearts of the few people listening were already churning in various ways.  Such an advanced thing, thisIs this the China they know?  The Chinese service staff who was taking things out at the side could no longer hold back the smile in his heart like a kitten. As someone who was specially arranged to understand German and Russian, he was really worried about this at this time.  These foreigners don¡¯t know how to comment.
