"You know that we have a city of merchants, artisans and merchants." Baraz said instructively.
Yes, I know, so what? Rejoined, Dara.
- "Well, you give ?! That's all the salt! We don't have any love, those who stay at home and do nothing, you need to earn money every day!" said Baraz.
But you can earn money from home, through the Internet, outsourcing, have you heard about this? asked Dara.
- "I don't know what kind of sourcing, but just sitting at home is not good, you need to move and make money. Do you know what the most important topic is in the city?" asked Baraz.
Sure! What are the prices in the wholesale market and in the retail! Dara immediately answered.
- "Well, not all is lost"! With ulbykoy noticed Baraz.
- "And this means that if you give your neighbors more than 1.5 kg they don't understand this, they will think that you don't appreciate the products, that you are rich and don't appreciate the money, you want something from them. So they won't respect you! If you give too little, they will not be able to taste the taste of the product and think that you are too greedy! " Insisted Bara.
How hard it is to live in the East! Dara gasped.
"Do you think it's easier to live in the West? Everywhere you have your subtle moments, you won't run away from people, you need to be able to establish horizontal contacts, but how else will you live?" looking inquiringly at Dara, Baraz noticed.
Well, yes, yes, you're right! So what will we give them? Asked Dara. Relying on the experience and instinct of a wise retired police officer.
- "Raisins black, yellow and brown, 200 grams each, best laid out on a dish!" Baraz remarked with a smile.
Why to the dish? Isn't it easier to just pour it in the bag, and if you do not return the dish? With caution noted Dara.
"Well, you brother, still green, this is a good test. Ahahahahahahhaha ?!" Baraz noted with a laugh.
Test? What kind of test? asked Dara confusedly.
- "Well, you need to chew everything, right? Well, you will find out what the neighbors are for people. Who will return the plate, who will not return and with what. Some will return the empty plate, others according to the traditions of hospitality will return with something ... sweetness , sweets, fruits, tea, which is at hand. And with these products you will understand the status of their owners. If you return the empty plate, then they are greedy or newcomers who do not honor the old traditions, keep an ear with them, they are no longer Oriental people , finished, western, you won't cook porridge with them. There is no sense from them. " Insistently explained Baraz.
- "There are those who will return the plate, with products that they hastily threw without respect, formally, there will be tea, a couple of apples, cookies, stale. This means that these neighbors know about traditions, but they don't respect you as a person, therefore they treated traditions purely formal. They are of little use, snobby and thinking like snobs. " Observed observant Baraz.
- "There are those who put a set of sweets, caramel, chocolate, fruit, grapes. But they are not perfect, good, fresh, but not elite. This suggests that these neighbors honor the tradition of hospitality, specially went and bought reciprocal gifts. But they're not very rich, you can tell from the sweets from which class they are, below average, average, high average, "Baraz said.
"And if there are selected apples on the dish, sweets that you won't see in the city's supermarkets, even the most expensive ones, it means that this is a real elite and it respects you," said Baraz.
- "Although it may well be that the elite gives the cake expired or burnt, and the candies are old, it means that you are not considered to be a person at all, but they are given to a servant or intentionally showing your social status." This is all like checking for a person's lice! Do you understand? This is the backstage of your neighbors. Is it possible to count on them or not?
Ahh, how tricky, subtle and wise! Noticed dumbfounded Dara.
- "You need to put everything beautifully on a dish, add a gram of 100 walnuts, almonds, pistachios. Put 100 grams of amber sugar, and 100 grams of dried apricot and peach and 300 grams of fruit candy." And the neighbors will be happy and we will test what kind of people surround your aunt Firuzekh?
No, you are simple, Baraz, not simple! Dara said.
To which Baraz only began to smile slyly.
