Capítulo 48: Trip to the mountains "Light" - 11
- "Dear guests, come here ..."
They stood near the cars.
- "Yes, heaven, this is not the city with us until they rob"!
- "The old customs and traditions of the mountains are still being collected"!
Nevertheless, the drivers of two trucks, locked the car and turned on the alarm!
There is no faith, they knew it well, the road teaches a lot. And the main thing to be vigilant always and everywhere!
As it is better said in Russia - to overcome than not to finish it! And this makes sense!
The cars were left on the heel near the house, the third house of one big street, 500 meters long. From two sides could be seen branches of trees, small stone fences composed of granite and slate cobblestones. The mountains generously supplied their tenants. These fences were only a meter and a half high. Modern innovation was the grid, the chain-link, clearly brought from the capital. Production - China. How else? Previously, it was Russia or Ukraine.
...
Time has placed its points above and, and dashes above tons. It is simpler, cheaper to bring goods from China than from Eastern Europe.
Chinese goods of varying quality, from Beijing-factory to frank bullshit from the villages, flooded the markets of Small-An. All equipment, electronics, construction equipment, medical equipment and telecommunication stations were from China.
Where it was less possible to meet branded Chinese goods. The demand for the bottom was small.
Over time, the collapse of the empire passed 35 years. From a country with a developed economy, air and space industry, the country has quietly but surely slipped into status - a third world country.
For 35 years, out of 330 scientific research institutes, barely 29 remained ... the most advanced and technical cadres scattered around the world. If earlier they themselves could create, like Iran, their own rocket, a rocket engine capable of bringing its own satellite into orbit. There was a production base, design research institutes ... now there is no shit left.
Find an intelligent specialist ... you need to try hard.
Once Uncle Navid told Dare that out of 1000 university students - telecommunications, computer technologies, technical universities and universities of natural sciences, Uncle Navid tried to select smart guys for his company. Of the 1000 applicants, he selected three.
One - was caught on what remained after work, and copied project documentation on a flash drive and the data was merged to competitors.
The second was caught when he stole two laptops from the office.
Third - met expectations ...
Uncle Navid, noticed that out of 1000 people he was able to find only three intelligent specialists and only one trustworthy specialist.
But this is all a story ... which flashed through the head of Dara in a brief reconciliation ...
...
The houses were one and two storey. They are located on the second terrace from the river.
They consisted of a small courtyard on the right side of the apartment building itself, in the center grew mulberry, on the left side were storage rooms. At 50 meters in the floodplain of the river, each mountaineer had his own small, fenced-off plot of land, with a small area - 10 meters wide and 23-25 meters long. And also flood plains where grass was grown for livestock.
...
Usually the family kept about 12 goats, five rams and about ten chickens and a couple of roosters. The mountaineers sheared goats, scratched, aired, spun and created from their wool carpets that went on sale. As a rule, every Saturday at the exit from the mountains, near the foothill plain, they arranged a bazaar. The local residents of the surrounding mountain gorges brought there their simple products - nuts, medicinal plants, goat wool carpets, goat milk, goat milk kefir. substantial goat cheese. Dry fruits - cherries, cherries, apricot, peach, apple, pear, plum. Berry marshmallow. Bear bile (but that was before, until the bears were in the red book of protection). Horns of goats, wild sheep, Venom snakes. Crafts from jade, turquoise, garnet, amethyst. As allowed to wash gold and mine precious stones, handicraft, jewelery began to appear on the market. Yantichny sugar. Flour from mulberry.
And the inhabitants of the plains brought - sugar, jam, gasoline, batteries for androids. urban clothing, industrial carpets, needles, threads, shoes, sneakers, wadded and linen robes. Candy and other oriental sweets, flour of different varieties, vegetable oil, meat, melted mutton fat, melted butter.
Such bazaars are already known from the 8th-9th century AD.
Prices of course in such bazaars are low, it's not profitable for the mountaineers to sell there, but they don't have to waste time on a trip to the city.
In this case, the Highlanders lost about 80 percent of the profits.

In the center of a small courtyard, which could not be seen from the street, there was a small wooden building under the tree.
On four legs, 30-40 cm high, there was a large, wooden platform. The size of 2 meters by 3. On the sides of which there were three sides were small sides 15-20 cm high. A wooden staircase led to the platform.
In summer, the whole family would have a rest on it. A felt mat or goat fur carpet was laid on the platform. Then laid out on three storanam Russian letter "P" wadded blankets. If it was for yourself, then the blankets were ordinary, covered with cotton cloth. And if it was for guests, then special, festive "kurpach" - cotton quilts covered with velvet or satin were carried out. In every house, whether in a city or a plain, mountains, deserts, steppes, there were such blankets.
In the center, however, a tablecloth was laid or a small table "resembling a Japanese katatsu" was placed, on top of which was a tablecloth, and in the cold season under the table there was a "sandal" - a charcoal stove that warmed the legs of those sitting.
They laid out treats on the tablecloth - bread, dry fruits, honey, berries, nuts. They put the kettle with green or herbal tea, bowls.
After the guests ate it. They brought - lamb broth with vegetables, sometimes they put in it noodles, homemade. Then the second course was rice with meat or a baked thigh of a ram or several quail carcasses. It tastes like the famous Indian "Tandori Chiken". Which is said to have come to Agra and Bangalore from the kingdom of the CAO some 6-7 hundred years ago.
In Agra, what is interesting is the price of tandori chikin was 196 rupees in a hotel and 56 in the bazaar! Also a large range of prices. In Agra, there was more than one tourist ... but this seems to be from another opera ...
And then again carried the tea with bread and jam.
When the dishes were carried away, the guests lay on cotton blankets and waited for fruits and watermelons with melons to be brought.
And then again tea, and bread.
When the food was eaten, the dessert was served. They brought "sherbet" of berries.
And after the guests indulged in midday sleep.
Later in the evening, a mosquito net was hung over this device ... and people admired the moon, the night sky, flying satellites, and fell asleep to the lulling sounds of mountains, owls, roars, howling wolves, and a bear. And there behind the fence, they were barking - huge bears the size of a mountain shepherd. About one house there were about 6-7. They were not tied, ran for the net.
But in the winter, in the spring, on these devices, were placed - a tarpaulin or film.
...
The gates opened and the guests entered the house ...
