Chapter 2368: 2182: Northeast Boss Zhou

Right now, Ice City is a world of ice and snow, but rescuing people is the priority, and Boss Zhong knows he can’t waste time here. At the airport, he’s buying tickets to fly to Mohe.

It takes less than an hour to get there.

Inside the airport, Zhou Wenting indeed feels very cold.

The further north, the colder it gets.

Ye Qiu holds Zhou Wenting’s hand and finds that her hand isn’t warm, but his is warm.

Then he directly hugs Zhou Wenting.

This is exactly what Zhou Wenting imagined; it’s truly cold here in the Northeast.

It seems heading over there needs to wear military gear.

After buying the tickets, they wait.

Once they arrive in Mohe, they’ll find a place to eat and then head to Siberia.

On the plane, the three of them don’t say much.

An hour later, they arrive at Mohe Airport.

As the three get off the plane, Boss Zhong’s friend has already driven over.

A Toyota Prado.

Getting into the car, Boss Zhong’s friend already knows Ye Qiu’s identity.

They first drive to a villa in Mohe to eat.

The food here is somewhat different from Jinling; currently, it’s peak tourist season, so things are more expensive.

However, there’s quite a bit of delicious food, like Heilongjiang fish, local lake fish, and meats like deer and wild boar.

Upon arriving at the villa, Zhou Wenting notices nothing but a white expanse of snow, along with many cars.

In winter, cars here are modified differently to prevent slipping.

Unless there’s heavy snow blocking the roads, they can drive quite well.

The four of them head to the villa and request a private room.

"Old Zhong, is the situation there really that serious?"

"What do you think?"

"Is Ye the doctor really that competent?"

Boss Zhong’s friend is a local from the Northeast, with a strong regional accent, but he’s curious if such a young Ye Qiu’s medical skills are really effective?

If not, they might risk their lives.

Now, many people from the Northeast dare not go there for fun.

Under normal circumstances, it’s actually quite easy to get from here to the Russians’ side.

Also, many Russians come to the Northeast for fun.

"He can cure cancer patients. Do you think he’s competent?"

Cancer patients?

Is it just boasting?

Ye Qiu smiles without saying anything.

Since morning until now, apart from eating some snacks on the plane, he hasn’t had any proper meals and is indeed a bit hungry.

Here, there’s authentic Northeast Wuchang rice, and lots of farm-raised wild deer and wild boar.

When the waitress brings the menu, Boss Zhong hands it to Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu directly says, "Bring one of each delicious dish."

"Bro, if there’s time, let’s go for a spa treatment!" Boss Zhong’s friend suggests.

Upon knowing that Ye Qiu can indeed cure cancer, he seems familiarly friendly.

However, as soon as "spa treatment" is mentioned.

Zhou Wenting’s face changes a bit.

She naturally knows what it means.

"Of course, those are all legitimate ones."

Boss Zhong responds, "Not this time, rescuing people is urgent. After Ye Qiu returns, we’ll see if there’s time."

The Northeast spa treatment is quite famous.

Ye Qiu has heard of it too.

However, after thinking about it, he decides to skip it.

Now, let’s enjoy Northeast cuisine first.

Soon, the villa’s waitress starts bringing over delicious dishes from inside the villa.

Typically, wild boar meat is somewhat gamey and tough, but after crossbreeding with domestic pigs, the taste improves a lot.

Through the chef’s craftsmanship, this wild boar meat indeed tastes far better than ordinary domestic pork.

Now there’s roast piglet, roasted meat, braised pork, and pork chops.

All made from wild boar.

Additionally, there’s farm-raised deer meat.

The deer meat here is quite good.

Along with the three treasures of the Northeast.

Forest frogs, ginseng, and deer antler, they have all these.

Of course, now they’re eating deer meat, so they skip the deer antler.

Additionally, there’s local white wine and beer.

One meal costs about three to four thousand.

But to Ye Qiu, it’s still quite worth it.

After Boss Zhong settles the bill, he prepares to take Ye Qiu and the two others to Siberia.

Before leaving, Boss Zhong’s friend from Beriya gives Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting a military coat; originally he intended to give fur, but Zhou Wenting didn’t want it.

Ye Qiu also doesn’t want to wear a corpse around.

Therefore, they opt for the military coat instead.

This military coat indeed belongs to the army type, looking thick and genuinely very warm.

"Bro, when you return from Siberia, I’ll treat you to a spa treatment."

Zhou smiled.

Ye Qiu doesn’t say anything.

Now, another person comes to pick up Ye Qiu and the three.

These people usually transport folks to work illegally over there.

Working over there illegally is common, including for Korea and East Ocean; one day can earn six to seven hundred yuan, with free food and accommodation, which is about a thousand yuan a day.

This tempts many people from the Northeast to work there.

However, such illegal work carries risks, perhaps ending up dead, or working hard without receiving pay.

Yet, it’s much better than the local salary of several thousand yuan a month here.

Now, Ye Qiu, Zhou Wenting, and Boss Zhong get into another jeep.

Driving on the icy surface isn’t a problem with this car.

Moreover, the Heilongjiang River over there has frozen over.

"Ye Qiu, in a few hours we can reach there. You guys can rest a bit; I’ll wake you when we arrive." says Boss Zhong sitting in the front passenger seat.

Ye Qiu isn’t tired, but Zhou Wenting feels a bit sleepy.

Possibly due to the low temperature, a person feels sleepy easily.

Now, Zhou Wenting as well.

Wearing the military coat given by Zhou and with the heater on in the car, she can still see the snow outside; it’s quite pleasant.

"Are you thinking about the spa treatment?" Zhou Wenting quietly asks him.

"Am I?"

Ye Qiu is thinking about those Russian beauties, how do they really look?

Are they similar to those French beauties?

Of course, Ye Qiu wouldn’t say it out loud.

Boss Zhong probably has reservations with Zhou Wenting here, so he doesn’t mention anything.

The car heads towards Siberia; once leaving the country and entering Siberia, it’s like entering a no-man’s land, seeing neither a person, a car, nor a house.

However, these people are quite familiar with it, surely knowing the way, and they have navigation.

"Ye Qiu, we’ve already entered the Russian territory."

So fast?

"How far?"

"Not much farther, in two to three hours we’ll reach the farm near me."

Usually, Boss Zhong collects Siberian produce here and sells it back domestically; so most of his employees reside at the farm here.
