Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 104 It's Right To Buy Expensive
In the supermarket, Ajielina was just about to push the shopping cart to the food and beverage area, but Wang Ye stopped her.

Lifting his chin, Wang Ye signaled, "Go over there first, I remember you said, your dad likes to drink?"

Indeed, in Russia it is rare to find a man who does not like to drink...

Ajielina nodded, "Yes, he drinks a little every night."

"Then let's buy him some bars." Wang Ye said.

Ajielina was a little surprised. Just about to ask Wang Ye why he bought wine for her father, Wang Ye had already explained in advance.

"In our country, when a girl's boyfriend visits home for the first time, he must bring a gift to the girl's family. This is a kind of etiquette."

He really didn't talk nonsense. In China, if you dare to go to your girlfriend's house without a gift, you can imagine what will happen...

Not to mention anything else, the evaluation of "this kid is not sensible" must have disappeared.

The price of a gift depends on your personal financial situation. Parents of girls may not force it, but whether to bring it or not is a matter of attitude!
When Ajielina heard this, she nodded understandingly and said nothing.

The two went to the wine area.

The liquor section of this supermarket is still very large, and basically the better brands on the market can be seen here.

When it comes to vodka, Chinese people's first reaction may be "Absolut Vodka", thinking it is a Russian brand.

But in fact, no, Absolut Vodka is a Swedish brand that was later acquired by a French company.

But Absolut vodka is also very common in Russia, and its popularity is also high.

In addition, the popular vodka brands here include "Crown", "Morosa", "Red Card" and "Standard".

To be honest, the price of vodka is not expensive, and the degree is not high, only 40 degrees.

This is a big gap compared with the domestic liquor which is more than 50 degrees.

Looking at the dazzling array of vodka in front of the shelf, Wang Ye was a little dazzled. He didn't like liquor or vodka, whether it was in this life or the previous life.

So I don't know much about vodka.

He asked Ajielina, "Which one does your father like to drink?"

Ajielina spread her hands and smiled: "He likes to drink cheap wine, which is basically impossible to buy in Moscow."

She was obviously joking, probably because of the economic situation, she was reluctant to buy expensive vodka, so she could only drink cheap vodka from a small brand.

But the taste of this vodka is similar, both distilled spirits are [-] degrees.

In this case, Wang Ye knew how to choose.

Choose expensive to buy, you must be right!
………………

The placement of drinks on the shelves is also regular, and the prices are getting more and more expensive from bottom to top.

Wang Ye just stood on tiptoe and took a look. The wine here is basically more than four or five hundred rubles, which can be regarded as high-end vodka.

He directly moved a case of Crown Vodka down and put it in the shopping cart.

This box is eight bottles, each bottle is one liter!

In Russia, many wines are sold in one-liter or one-and-a-half liter bottles.

The box of wine that Wang Ye moved cost more than 600 rubles per bottle, and [-] rubles per box.

Ajielina was stunned by this, and she stood there for a while before asking, "You are crazy, why do you buy so much wine, we all buy one bottle."

Here, the differences between China and Russia are reflected again.

In China, gifts and the like are usually given in even numbers, which means "good things come in pairs".

But in Russia, only odd numbers can be sent!
However, if Wang Ye bought a box, it could also be counted as an odd number.

Wang Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "In our place, if you carry a bottle of wine, you will be kicked out. They are all in boxes."

Well, cultural differences again, Ajielina has nothing to say...

Buying a gift for Ajielina's father is easy, just buy wine if you like to drink, but buying a gift for her mother is a headache.

Wang Ye doesn't know what Russian old ladies like...

Just ask Ajielina for advice.

Ajielina thought for a while, "Just buy a box of chocolates. Here, if you don't know what gift to bring to someone's house, you should bring flowers and chocolates. That's right."

Wang Ye shook his head, chocolate?

It's not to fool children, it's too shabby!

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do your parents have a mobile phone?"

"Papa has it, Mama doesn't." Ajielina replied.

"Then it's easy to handle. Buy her a mobile phone as a gift, so that it will be convenient for you to contact your family in the future." Wang Ye said with a smile.

"No! It's too expensive, so don't buy it." Ajielina waved her hands quickly.

But obviously, her objection was invalid.

I bought some snacks and drinks to eat while on the road.

Wang Ye directly took her to the store where she bought the mobile phone last time.

Although he has money now, Wang Ye didn't waste too much money. He didn't choose an expensive mobile phone. He just asked the clerk to bring over two Nokia 3310s, the same ones he and Ajielina used.

and many more……

Why two!

Ajielina found the problem again.

"One for your mother and one for your sister-in-law." Wang Ye explained naturally.

He felt that this was very good, and he solved the problem of gifts without much money.

And the other party will definitely like it.

"Nova is still a child, she can't use a mobile phone!" Ajielina objected.

"Nova" is naturally the name of Ajielina's sister.

She is only in the third year of high school this year, and in Ajielina's eyes, she is still a little kid.

Think about when Ajielina and Wang Ye first met, she had already started working after graduating from college, and she hadn't bought a mobile phone yet.

Nova, what kind of mobile phone does a high school student use!

But Wang Ye shook his head and said: "She is going to university soon, and she will come to Moscow to study. It is always more convenient to have a mobile phone. If you want to contact us or your family, it is very simple."

This reason made Ajielina unable to refute.

If you are not short of money, there is really no problem buying a mobile phone.

At that time, mobile phones were definitely pure communication tools, and did not have any entertainment functions...

The problem is, she feels that Wang Ye spends too much money, which is a bit unacceptable.

Wang Ye is very rich now, which Ajielina also knows.

I am Wang Ye's girlfriend, so it's fine if Wang Ye buys me some gifts or something, or Wang Ye pays for the living expenses of the two of them.

But if you spend too much money in your own home, Ajielina feels that it is wrong...

Maybe this is the difference between the concepts of Europeans and Americans and Chinese.

…………

But in the end, Ajielina didn't continue to object when she saw that Wang Ye paid for the phone directly.

He just told him: "I know, you will say this is a Chinese etiquette again. Forget it this time, because you are going to my house for the first time. But in the future, you must not buy too expensive gifts for my family. Not only will I mind, maybe my family will mind too."

Wang Ye was a little speechless, who would not like others to give gifts?
