Chapter 1716 Three major delicacies in Kyiv: Canned beef, instant noodles, pickled vegetables

With the collapse of the Soviet economy, Ukraine's domestic economy has made even worse.

Without the financial support of the Soviet government, almost all planned orders in Ukraine's domestic industrial system disappeared.

Most factories have been shut down for a long time.

The cooperation with Hongqi Group has enabled the Antonov Design Bureau, Motorsic Aviation Manufacturing Bureau and other related companies in the Ukrainian aviation industry to obtain a lot of funds, and they can barely continue to research.

The front-line factories that lost their production plans did not receive financial support like research units, and production completely stopped.

Without production, workers in front-line factories will naturally not be able to live a good life.

There are many homeless people on the street.

These are originally people with jobs.

The factory cannot afford the salary, so if everyone wants to survive, they can only find a way out.

There were many pedestrians wearing tattered clothes on the road, most of whom were depressed.

The vendors selling various small commodities, although they knew that it was unlikely that they could sell things, still stopped everyone passing by.

These small vendors were wearing work clothes that countless people had envied in previous factories.

Everyone is not having a good time now, and no one has the extra money to buy small goods.

There are even more vendors than pedestrians.

In Ukraine, there are even many places where food is not available.

Urimov, the top assembly fitter who is an engine production unit under the Kharicov Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, is just over 40 years old.

With superb technology and rich experience in tank engine assembly.

After the engine is assembled, you can only listen to the sounds made during the engine operation during the test run to determine where the engine is problematic and what parts are not installed in place.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I became a level 8 assembly fitter, I didn’t live in the factory.

With good skills, Comrade Urimov could not find a job that could support his wife and three children at home.

There are people looking for jobs everywhere throughout Ukraine.

All factories have stopped working. In order to make up for the wages they owed everyone before, many factories have even started selling equipment, selling technical information as waste to pay back the money, with only one purpose - to let everyone survive.

As for what the country does without these equipment, that is a question that cadres and comrades consider.

No matter what, it is impossible for cadres and comrades to go hungry.

Production workers can only find a way out.

Even if the equipment is sold, many people have not paid their wages for a long time.

Production and manufacturing units are not allowed to compare with those from design bureaus or scientific research units.

Even if you can still get a salary, the salary of scientific research institutions will drop significantly, and you can only barely get a part of the funding every month.

Of course, you can still survive with a salary. Although you can't afford to eat canned beef and Fuling pickled cabbage from China, or even instant noodles, you can at least buy enough potatoes to fill your family's stomachs.

Today, Urimov did not continue to sell on the streets. He still had more than a dozen flashlights using dry battery and cheap mechanical watches. Even if he had not sold out, he closed his stall early and pushed the small tricycle he had built to rush to his home.

When he got home, his wife Isabella also returned on a tricycle assembled by Urimov.

In my wife's car, cheap clothes from China have disappeared and there is no cloth at all.

"Dear, have you sold all the clothes? That's worth hundreds of dollars!" Urimov looked at his wife in surprise.

Although clothing from China is cheap, one piece costs several dollars.

Of course, all the small vendors in Kiev now charge US dollars, even if the lowest target customer base only has rubles.

Ruble, no one wants to collect it now.

That thing, wiped your butt, is too hard and too small.

Ordinary Kievans do not have much purchasing power, especially when they cannot afford wages, small vendors are unwilling to collect rubles, either exchange valuable things or just use US dollars.

In addition, there are many people without jobs in Kiev who are selling cheap clothing from China, and Isabella's business is very bad.

Often, one item cannot be sold for several days.

Isabella looked at Urimov, shook her head directly, and said with some concern: "I gave the rest of my clothes to the comrades who worked together before. Their lives are very bad. From now on, we, who have a new life, no longer need these..."

When Urimov heard this, he said happily: "Dear, you are so thoughtful. I should also give these flashlights and mechanical watches to my former comrades to keep a souvenir. I don't know when I will come back next time..."

"Let's make these tomorrow, just use them as a farewell gift. The children have been waiting at home for a day, so let them open their stomachs and have a good meal tonight!" Isabella breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her husband did not blame her.

On his thin and haggard face, his infinite longing and concern for the future emerged.

The couple didn't say anything anymore and walked into their dilapidated yard. This was the house distributed to them by the factory when they got married.

The yard is very small, and three children are looking outside boredly in the yard.

"Dad, mom, why are you back so early today?" Angel, the youngest daughter, who is only six years old, ran away happily when she saw her parents come back, "Did you bring us some delicious food today?"

The two sons, one ten years old and the other twelve years old, looked at their parents without any joy.

The earlier your parents come back, the less good it is for them.

That means there is no business, and they look forward to a day's dinner, not only will it not be rich, but they will not even be full.

"Children, prepare for it. Let's make a sumptuous dinner tonight!" Isabella smiled and picked up Angel who was rushing towards her, and said to the other two children with disappointed faces.

"At most, it's potatoes, what else can there be richness!" The eldest son Chick curled his lips.

He didn't want to move at all, and his second son was also sitting there.

"Children, the dinner will be very rich tonight. There are canned beef from China and Fuling pickles from China. Of course, bread and milk are indispensable..." Ishabella put forward a large bag of things from her tricycle carriage.

Suddenly, both boys became excited.

"Oh my God! Mom, you are so great. You actually got Fuling pickled cabbage. You know, this has been sold for $3 per pack on the black market! I love you so much..." Chik rushed over in surprise.

The decadence that was before disappeared instantly.

Urimov brought up several bags of instant noodles from China from his tricycle.

"Children, look, instant noodles from China! Five flavors!"

"Dad, I love you so much." Angel struggled from his mother's arms, rushed towards his father, and snatched instant noodles from his father's hands.

Although she was young, she knew that one bag of these instant noodles costs more than $1 in the market.

The boxed ones are even sold for $3.

The magic instant noodles from Magic China can not only be eaten while soaking, cooking, but also dry!

I saw my friends eating instant noodles before, and it made people salivate when they smelled.

Chik was even more exaggerated: "Mom, I'll wash potatoes. Uncle Molensky said that by cutting potatoes into pieces and stewing them with canned beef, it will taste more beautiful... It would be even better if it was served with some Fuling pickles..."

"No, instant noodles are the best!" Angel looked at his elder brother Chik and shouted dissatisfiedly. "I have eaten it at Uncle Kirakf's house before. It tastes nothing that can match, although it is very spicy..."

"No, Fuling pickled cabbage is the best, whether it is bread or mashed potatoes..." The second son Kuma despised his brother and sister.

Watching the children quarreling, the couple looked at each other and saw powerlessness in each other's eyes.

These things are usually hard to afford.

Tomorrow, they are about to leave, and the future is uncertain, so they need to have a good meal.

"Everyone prepare and invite the neighbors to enjoy a sumptuous dinner tonight." Urimov's eyes were filled with tears.

"Why? Instant noodles are so expensive on the black market, a canned beef costs $8..."

Chick is dissatisfied with his father's decision.

The family is not rich at all and cannot afford it at all.

The top-notch food like Fuling pickles makes people drool when they smell it.

Chik's friend Andre often takes out a pack of Fuling pickles in his hands.

Usually, Chik often wants to smell the smell and says a lot of good things.

But he was willing to say all kinds of good things to Andre.

Smelling the smell of Fuling pickled cabbage is the most enjoyable thing in the world. Thinking about the taste of it can make the mashed potatoes that are difficult to choke.

It is precisely because they can take out Fuling pickles at any time that many girls like to date Andre.

They just wanted to taste the Fuling pickled cabbage from Andre, which even the adults praised, and experience the deliciousness of this world.

I looked at the pickled vegetables in the bag and there were several packs of them.

Chick thinks that saving a little can make you eat for a long time.

If you know that you also have Fuling pickles in your hands, those beautiful girls will definitely date them.

"Uncle Urimov, Aunt Isabella, are you all back? My dad invites you to my house for a party..." At this moment, a half-grown child with a rosacea who was not tall and rosacea entered the yard.

Chik looked at his old rival Andre and said with contempt: "Andre, my parents are also preparing to invite their neighbors to have a party!"

"Your family invites you to party?" Andrey laughed and looked at Chik: "Cheek, will your party be more abundant than ours? My family not only has the canned beef, instant noodles, pickled vegetables that everyone likes, but also Erguotou from China, etc., my father said that tonight, all of these will be enough..."

Andre smiled.

Even a little contempt was present in his smile.

This is the contempt of the king.

Chik was not angry, but patted the huge bag in his hand: "Open your eyes and look at what's inside. It's not only your family that has Fuling pickles and canned beef!"
