For the subsequent developnt of the program, the show’s team naturally went out of their way to help Lin Yang plan the itinerary, otherwise, a show that had just beco an instant hit stopping suddenly would be a great loss.
"Exploring Russia?" Yue’er, hearing these words, imdiately perked up.
As he said this, his beautiful eyes sparkled, just like a foodie’s eyes would shine when they heard about delicious food.
"Craving Emperor Crab?" Lin Yang couldn’t help but randomly guess.
From what he knew about Yue’er, only foods like beef or Emperor Crab could sowhat attract her.
Yue’er nodded repeatedly, "I’ve had Emperor Crab in the capital with Sister Xiao Xue, but honestly, the taste was very ordinary, even a letdown for the price of over two thousand a piece.
However, I have researched this online, and friends who have the chance to eat it abroad unanimously say that it only really tastes good if eaten within two hours of being out of the water. Freshly chilled, dismbered, or even processed crab stick greatly affects the taste."
Lin Yang smiled and nodded, "Alright, the itinerary is pretty much set. Today we’ll pack lightly, and tomorrow start preparing. If all goes well, we can leave in about three days."
"That’s great, I’m going to pack my clothes now!" Yue’er didn’t plan to stay longer and turned to head ho.
Seeing this, Lin Yang shook his head sowhat helplessly, not knowing if it was because he had traveled to many places, but she seed to be less hobound, just like him.
...
In the following days, according to the planned itinerary, Lin Yang contacted the liaison in Russia and reorganized his gear.
Three days later, everything was ready, and they set off from the capital, flying directly to Khabarovsk, the Far Eastern Capital of Russia.
The plane took off at two in the morning, and by the ti they arrived at their destination, it was already broad daylight.
After completing the procedures and taking their luggage out of the airport, Lin Yang and Yue’er were shocked by the desolate and dilapidated state of Russia that t their eyes.
Goodness, one would think the infrastructure of Russia would be decent, but the airport they landed at felt like a derelict factory left from decades ago.
Especially the terminal building, with its flaked-off tiles, it was far worse than the small airports in a minor city like Jiangdong City.
Coming off an international flight, Lin Yang and Yue’er picked up their luggage and began looking around for the liaison who was supposed to et them after landing.
After a while, they finally spotted an old Russian man holding a sign in a corner.
The old man was wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt, tall, nearing 185 cm, though with a sowhat bald head, surrounded by mostly white hair.
Next to him was a younger man, and the two seed to share so resemblance. The pair were conversing about sothing, the distinctive Russian guttural intonation making it completely foreign to Lin Yang and Yue’er, who couldn’t understand a word.
"Hey? Are you Captain Victor?" Lin Yang scrutinized the tidily written na on the et-up sign and gathered the courage to greet him.
Hearing his na called, Victor looked up and, seeing Lin Yang’s face, a sincere smile quickly appeared.
"Hello, friends from China, I am Victor! Let introduce you, this is my son Ivan."
"Hello, I am Lin Yang, and this is my assistant Yue’er." Lin Yang reached out his arm to shake hands, but the Russian elder gave him a solid hug instead.
"Took the early morning flight, you must be hungry, right? There’s plenty of ti before our flight. Co with , I’ll take you sowhere to fill your stomachs," Victor said enthusiastically.
"Great, it’s my first ti in Russia, we’ll rely on you for our itinerary," Lin Yang nodded.
Victor didn’t lead them too far, just out of the terminal building and about two hundred ters across to a fairly clean breakfast place.
While it was the peak of sumr’s heat in China in August, it was unexpectedly cooler in Khabarovsk.
Lin Yang felt that the temperature here was maybe just around eighteen to twenty degrees; wearing a short-sleeve shirt wasn’t cold, but it did give him goosebumps on his arms.
Yue’er wasn’t much stronger, but the two Russians seed unaffected.
Victor asked, "What would you like to eat? These are all very authentic local foods, and they won’t cost you a fortune. You’d better eat more if possible.
Before we get to the Soviet Port camp, the upcoming itinerary might not offer comfortable dining facilities or food, and the small plane we’ll be taking won’t provide any als."
Lin Yang and Yue’er looked over the available food options, which weren’t extensive, nowhere near the abundance of bread, buns, savory soy milk, and fried dough sticks found in a typical Chinese breakfast shop.
"Yue’er, you pick, I’m easy." Lin Yang glanced at the options and handed the decision-making to Yue’er.
After so communication, Yue’er quickly chose breakfast for four, as the Russian father and son hadn’t eaten in the morning either.
Soon, breakfast ca, steaming lemon tea, large red sausages, sliced cheese, bright red pickled cabbage, and Russia’s very famous speciality, Borodinsky bread.
Lin Yang could accept these foods no matter the presentation, but when the last dish was served, he frowned.
