Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

The economy of the Bear Country has resulted in most of the population being concentrated in a few large cities, and remote areas like this are almost uninhabited.

The accumulated snow bent many treetops. When Yang Xue looked into the distance, the dazzling sunlight made her eyes well up with tears.

However, Su Chen had been to this place before, and was not surprised by the scene before him. He explained to Yang Xue:

"Most people in Bear Country live in the capital and several large cities. This place is too remote and almost no one wants to live here."

The train was heading deep into the country of the bears. After entering the country, the closer we got to the capital, the more residents we could see. As Yang Xue looked around along the way, she saw a white snowfield stretching to the horizon.

As we approached the capital, a few houses began to appear on the plain.

At this time, Yang Xue was very excited. She shook Su Chen's arm and said excitedly: "Look! There are houses over there!" Su Chen nodded slightly and looked at the distant scenery.

In the vast snowy wilderness of the Bear Country, a wooden house stands alone. The world outside the car window is moving, but the house seems to be motionless forever.

Just with such a glance, even Su Chen felt sad.

Yang Xue even sighed: "How lonely it must be to live in a house like this." Hearing her emotional words, Su Chen gently smoothed her hair and comforted her with a smile.

Due to geographical conditions, most parts of the country are cold and unsuitable for human habitation.

Su Chen is well aware of this reality and is deeply touched by it.

It is precisely because of this perseverance that the people of Russia can build a foundation and start a business in this cold land.

Although the green train did not travel very fast, after two days of swaying and bumping, Yang Xue and Su Chen finally arrived at the capital of the Bear Country.

She was very interested when she first saw the beautiful scenery along the way, but after looking at the snow-covered world outside the window for several days, her curiosity and excitement gradually disappeared.

She felt relieved only when she reached her destination. The long train ride made her feel depressed.

As soon as she got off the train, she was delighted to feel the snowflakes falling on her skin. Because her hometown is not in the northern region, it is very rare to see snowflakes on weekdays.

Coming here this time is one of the few opportunities to get close to the flying snow.

When the group arrived at the center of the capital, Su Chen first arranged to store the large batch of supplies in the warehouse, and then walked out of the station.

At this time, Wang Daming and some of his local friends who had been waiting for a long time appeared at the train station gate to welcome them. Everyone was wearing thick clothes and fully armed with warm clothes. The originally tall Wang Daming showed a bit of the temperament of a bear man.

If they hadn't met before, Su Chen would have had a hard time recognizing this familiar person. "Old Su, this way."

Hearing Wang Daming's call, Su Chen led the way towards his companions who came to greet them.

Wang Daming's friend from the Bear Country came forward and warmly hugged Su Chen. As he didn't know the other party's specific identity, Su Chen politely returned the hug.

"You must be tired after traveling thousands of miles. Let's go eat together. It's too cold here. Let's warm up first." Wang Daming said as he invited Su Chen and others to get in the car.

Although Su Chen did not bring many people with him, he still needed three cars.

Except for Su Chen, Yang Xue and Wang Daming, the others sat in two other cars.

Wang Daming said to Su Chen excitedly: "Director, I will take you to taste the unique delicacies here. You have definitely never tasted them before."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Very good, I am indeed a little hungry."

It was indeed Su Chen's first time in the Bear Country, and he didn't know much about the local food. He only knew that there were special dishes such as borscht and barbecue, but he knew very little about other things.

The tall friend from the Bear Country squeezed in the car like a giant. Yang Xue was a little scared when she saw him for the first time, and unconsciously moved closer to Su Chen.

Although the other party looked fierce, his attitude was very friendly. He greeted Su Chen enthusiastically, "Dear comrade, welcome to our country!"

He spoke the language of the bear in a soft, rapid voice, seeming exceptionally docile, as if he were a rugged man handling an embroidery needle with all the care and caution of one.

Su Chen responded fluently in Mao Xiong language: "Thank you very much for your hospitality."

The friend from the Bear Country was very surprised to hear this. "You speak Bear Country quite well, dear comrade. Have you ever been to our country before?"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, this is my first time here."

Even in his previous life, Su Chen only passed by here and never stopped.

The friend from the Mao Bear Country was very surprised and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Your Mao Bear Country language is great!"

Su Chen laughed.

The group soon arrived at a building full of the characteristics of the Bear Country. When Su Chen got off the car, he saw a slender object similar to an antenna on the dome. The gate was also decorated with many typical Bear Country patterns, full of exotic style.

Yang Xue felt extremely curious when she saw these things, and Wang Daming took everyone into this unique restaurant.

"This restaurant is very famous locally. Although it serves Mao Xiong-style dishes, I believe Chinese people will also like it very much." Wang Daming said as he led everyone into a private room inside.

After walking into the room, it was obviously as warm as spring compared to the cold air outside.

Su Chen and Yang Xue couldn't help but take off their coats and find a seat nearby. The decoration here is very local, showing the traditional charm of the country of Mao Xiong everywhere.

Su Chen sat cross-legged steadily on the low kang unique to the Bear Country, and Yang Xue imitated him and sat down on the side.

Wang Daming called the waiter over and ordered several dishes in one go. The tall friend from the Bear Country sat opposite Su Chen, and even after sitting down, he still looked very burly.

In addition to him, there were some other friends from the Bear Country, but because this person was particularly big and strong, Su Chen inadvertently ignored the others.

After everyone ordered their meals, they began to unbutton their collars and relax, and a sweat broke out. After all, the weather outside was extremely cold, but the house was quite warm for heating, much like the northeast region of China.

Su Chen and his friends were already used to this situation, so they relaxed. The two-day drive was indeed a bit tiring.

The tall and strong bear friend handed over a bottle of seemingly transparent liquid and said, "Dear Davarish, please try our local vodka." As expected of people from the bear country, they seem to have a natural affinity with wine. For them, when they get to the table, the first thing they consider is always wine rather than food.

Su Chen, who was familiar with the local customs and culture, took the bottle of wine and opened the lid naturally.

Although this vodka looks clear and pure like water, the concentration of alcohol it contains cannot be ignored.

Su Chen clinked the bottle with his tall friend, and they both drank heartily at the same time. The friend usually did not drink from a cup, but liked to drink directly from the bottle.

Especially when drinking vodka, they usually just hold the bottle mouth and swallow it. Su Chen did not show weakness either, and his drinking posture was as easy as drinking water.

These people from the Bear Country who came with Wang Daming were actually his smuggling network, so they were quite interested in seeing Su Chen in person this time.

They had already heard about Su Chen's deeds from Wang Daming, so this mysterious manufacturer made them even more curious. Seeing Su Chen's bold and carefree drinking posture, the burly bear friend praised him: "Davarich! Your ability is really amazing. You are the best one I have met among all the rabbit people!"

The tall bear had never expected that a foreign friend would drink vodka directly like them. He was full of respect for this.

According to the cultural habits of the Bear Country, the real meaning of life lies in the conversation during banquets, where anyone can talk about anything as long as there is good wine.

However, if the other party is unwilling to drink, the bear friends will not easily associate with him. Su Chen's actions just met their expectations and won everyone's favor.

Yang Xue, who was originally worried, saw this scene but could not object. Although she was nervous, she could only watch Su Chen drinking.

Su Chen, whose physique has been systematically strengthened, is not affected even by drinking excessively. Alcohol in his body does not undergo any chemical changes like pure water.

He and the tall bear took turns to drink a bottle of vodka. The other party was surprised to notice that Su Chen's expression was still calm, and his eyes were clear and unaffected. At this moment, the tall bear's face began to turn red, and the effect of alcohol began to appear. However, Su Chen was not affected at all.

Afterwards, he took out the Erguotou he brought from home and gave it to his friend to taste. "This is a fine wine made in our country. Please taste it."

Knowing that he would do business with the Mao bears, he brought a large amount of Erguotou liquor. When the Mao bear friends saw Erguotou, they felt like they had discovered a delicacy and could not resist the temptation.

The tall bear took a glance at the unique shape of Erguotou and suddenly realized:

"I've heard of this wine. It's quite expensive. I've always wanted to try it but never bought it. Thank you, dear comrade! If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to taste this fine wine." After saying that, the tall bear thanked Su Chen and opened a glass of Erguotou and gulped it down.

Although the alcohol content of Erguotou is not as high as vodka, this bottle of liquor made the tall bear feel a warm current flowing through his body. He couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good wine!" This was the first time that the tall bear tasted this type of liquor.

Erguotou has a silky taste, which is much softer than vodka, but it also has a warm feeling that goes straight into the stomach.

After drinking it all in one gulp, the country of Bear Country exclaimed that it was delicious, and then took another big gulp.

He had already finished two bottles of wine before the dishes were served.

Before it was Su Chen's turn to toast, the tall hairy bear was already drunk.

By the time all the dishes were served, Su Chen had already toasted all the bear people present.

Su Chen still looked calm as usual, but the people on the opposite side were almost tottering.
