The fur traders' stronghold was occupied by doves. The thick animal skins blocked the bright light that should have shined through the windows, and also blocked the chill that should have shined through the windows.
On the flat wooden dining table, several ceramic plates were placed in front of each of them, and a piece of hot reindeer steak filled with an alluring aroma was placed on it.
"Next is French baked potatoes and onion soup, and of course, freshly baked bread."
Quentin and Gale each brought a large plate of dishes to the table. At the dining table, after the former placed the plates, he brought a bottle of potato wine, opened it, filled everyone's glasses with wine, and then said apologetically, "The ingredients are limited, so we served them together."
At the same time, Gale turned on the record player, and suddenly, soothing music came from the copper speaker.
"It's already very good"
Quantan picked up the cup and took a sip, "There are authentic French dishes, wine and music. God, I thought I was "In a high-end restaurant in Paris"
"I have never been to any high-end restaurant"
While Dorian was speaking, he had already torn off a small piece of bread and dipped it into his own. He threw the onion soup roughly into his mouth and continued vaguely, "But this is definitely the most delicious dish I have ever eaten."
"You can wash it off later. "A Finnish sauna." Wei Ran pointed to a door not far away, "This is much more comfortable than the tub we used."
"Victor, you really look like a Finn." "Quentin blinked, "Finns love bathing."
"There is nothing more comfortable than taking a bath in this damn weather."
Wei Ran sat down. In his own place, he picked up the glass and said, "If nothing else, the Finn who invented the sauna is definitely a genius."
"I've tried it before." Quentin also picked up the glass, "I I felt like I was about to be steamed, but I felt very comfortable after washing it. As Victor said, the Finn who invented the sauna is definitely a genius."
"He must be someone who enjoys it. Genius." As Dorian spoke, he had already poked the venison steak filled with thick soup with his fork and took a hard bite, then took another big sip of wine.
Gail also picked up the cup, "We will have a long time to enjoy everything here."
"We can't just enjoy it"
Quentin refilled everyone's glasses with wine and said in a serious tone, "We have to take advantage of this time to prepare. "
"What are you preparing for?" Kantan asked, looking at Quentin sitting opposite.
"Of course it is to prepare for the future life"
Quentin finally filled his glass with wine, "I once asked the fur trader Eero, about the Finns Attitudes towards the Jews. According to him, both the Finns and the Germans stationed here seemed to ignore the Jews and made no decent arrests or actions.Limitations and distinctions.
So as long as we look as Finnish as possible, we should be safe after the Germans leave here. Of course, even if the Germans eventually take over or something, we can continue to live as the fur trader Eyrault and his companions. ”
“Looks like a Finn” Dorian looked down at the clothes that didn’t fit him well, “Don’t I look like a Finn?”
"Not just clothes" Quentin looked at Weiran without warning, "Victor, teach us Finnish"
"Finnish" everyone, including Weiran, looked at Quentin.
“Yes, Finnish”
Quentin said matter-of-factly, “We need to learn Finnish as much as we can before spring comes, and even as much as we can. Get used to the Finnish way of life, such as taking a sauna. "
"This is not an easy task," Gale said with a grimace, "I have learned German from you for several years, and we have only learned tips and thank yous, and this is what we recommend today. menu. "
"Then you have to work harder this time," Quentin said with a smile, "This is about whether we can survive in Finland. "
"Quentin, what if I don't know Finnish either?" Wei Ran put down his glass and asked.
"What if you don't know Finnish either"
Kun Ting spread his hands, "If you didn't know it either, I would have kept the last two people. As long as we separated them, we could still learn Finnish. "
"You had planned this a long time ago." Kantan looked at Quentin with a strange expression.
"I thought about it before I decided to kill the last two people"< /p>
Quentin said, raising his glass, "Come on, let's have a drink as French people for the last time. ”
After everyone around the table looked at each other, they also picked up the glasses. After a glass of wine, Quentin immediately changed the topic, obviously not wanting to explain too much.
Everyone has their own thoughts. After finishing a hearty meal, everyone took a short rest. At Wei Ran's invitation, they each got into the hot sauna with a big towel.
"It's really hot here. I can't even breathe. "Dorian said a little uncomfortable.
"You won't think so soon." Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already poured a large spoonful of water on the stone stove in the corner.< /p>
With the sound of "chi", the strong water mist and the faint smell of ozone hit the face. The small sauna room also became hazy, and everyone's bodies soon became blurry. Beads of sweat formed.
"This should be the hot bath required in the return mission."
Sitting in the corner, Wei Ran looked at the other people and muttered to himself. After saying this, he then thought that the so-called secretly photographed group photo probably had to include Quentin.
However, looking at the happy faces of those people, it was obvious that now was not an opportunity for a secretly photographed photo. At this point, he will temporarilyShi put down his thoughts and poured a large spoonful of water on the stove again, adding to their conversation in the steaming water vapor.
"Brother Quentin, when do you think the war will end?" Dorian asked Quentin while wiping the sweat on his face with a towel, "I mean, it will end completely."< /p>
"I'm afraid it will take a long time"
There was a hint of confusion in Quentin's eyes. Although he was smart and had a precise vision, he could not escape the limitations of this era. , and his tone was full of negativity that could not be concealed, "Even if the war is over, I'm afraid Germany will occupy a large area of territory, and at least France will become much smaller."
"What do you mean? "Will Germany lose?" Wei Ran asked with interest.
"Maybe there will be peace talks."
Quentin expressed his point of view in an uncertain tone, "They have already won by occupying so many countries. As long as they negotiate If the conditions are good, maybe Germany will be several times bigger than before the war started."
Dorian looked a little more hesitant and frightened, "I don't know what happened to my parents. , were they captured by the Germans? I heard that the guerrillas captured by the Germans were locked up in houses and burned to death."
"Alas"
Quentin shook his head, "My son has been killed by the Germans. What's the use of killing such a young child?"
"My wife and daughter were also taken away"
Contan's tone was full of sarcasm, "I'm not a Jew, I'm not a Gypsy, and even my wife and daughter didn't join the guerrillas. Just because I didn't teach enough taxes, they used me. Our whole family was arrested on the charge of making leather shoes for General de Gaulle.
I really don’t know what will happen to such ridiculous Germans after they rule the world. They can’t order everyone to go barefoot. Let's walk."
"I feel much more relaxed in comparison."
Gail said indifferently, "My mother died of tuberculosis before the war started. That rotten gambler dad, I’m afraid even the Germans won’t bother to touch him.”
“Let’s not talk about these sad things”
Wei Ran poured water on the stove again. Spooning water, he changed the subject and asked, "We can change the perspective. If the war is over and Germany is completely defeated, what are you going to do?"
"If there is such a good thing"
< p>Kangtan was still full of energy in the first half of the sentence, but he hesitated for a long time after finishing his sentence, and finally said in a lonely voice, "Even if there is such a good thing, I will definitely go back to find my wife and daughter. If I can't find it, I will I don’t know what to do anymore.”“I don’t plan to go back,” Quentin said unexpectedly, “My son is dead and my wife has abandoned me.”
"Are you going to stay in Finland?" Gale asked.
Quentin nodded, "If I can learn some Finnish, I'm going to stay.Even if I can't learn it, I plan to stay as a mute. "
"Why?" Gale became more and more puzzled.
"Why else?"
Quentin spread his hands, "No one here knows that I am a Jew. , probably no one will ask me to take off my pants and check whether I have been circumcised to determine whether I am a Jew, so why not stay and start over?"
"In this case, I will also stay Come down. ”
Gail said without thinking, “As long as I don’t tell anyone, probably no one here will know that I am half Gypsy.” Quentin, you will definitely continue to open a restaurant when the time comes."
"Restaurant"
Quentin's eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again, "I If you don't plan to open a restaurant, just become a fur trader. Otherwise, even if I don't have to take off my pants, others will know that I am French. "
"You will definitely need a buddy by then, right?" Gale asked happily.
"Yes, I will definitely need a buddy. Quentin smiled, "But you have to learn some Finnish first, and it can't just be a tip, thank you, and this is the fur we recommend today." "
Quentin's statement immediately made the rest of the people in the sauna laugh. Gale scratched the back of his head and said, "Then it depends on what Victor is willing to teach us. "
"I will definitely teach you the three sentences just now," Wei Ran joked, dumbfounded.
After the joke, Dorian muttered, "If the war really happens, is completely over, I still plan to return to France. If my parents are still alive, I plan to learn some skills, such as carpentry or something. "
"Why do you plan to be a carpenter?"
"That's what I thought about when we were in the shelter"
Dorian asked the question Gail explained, “I found it interesting to work with the wood, so I may become a carpenter in the future. However, if my parents are dead, maybe I will come here to find you, and then you will have to give me a job. ”
“We will definitely take good care of you then”
Quentin patted his chest and made a promise. Then, he looked at Kang who didn’t know what he was thinking. Tan, "Uncle Kantan, if I mean, come here too, you still owe me a pair of shoes." "
"Let's talk about it then."
Kantan imitated Wei Ran and poured a spoonful of water on the stove, "But forget about learning Finnish as you mentioned before. , I am getting older and my brain is no longer that useful. Of course, I will definitely make you a pair of warm enough boots. ", please remember:, free fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft
