Chapter 1289: Bridal Bazaar (3/5)

In any case, the cannon he had called for himself had to be beaten with tears.

Steve honestly raises rabbits. Fortunately, rabbits are not entangled. When he goes out the next day, he does not need to ask for his opinions. Unlike Li Du, he has to fool the six children to make them happy. Only then.

Li Du didn't understand what fairs could be visited in this polar town, but he saw Steve and his team hippie smiling and full of expectations, it seemed that this fair was really interesting.

When they drove to a street in the city, he knew what the market was.

The crowds in the streets, Li Du was still wondering on the road, this city has a population of 200,000. Why can't I see a few people? It turned out to be crowded here.

The middle of the road is full of people, and there are people on both sides of the road, and the roadside is full of beautifully dressed and brightly dressed young girls and daughters-in-law.

Steve gets out of the car and laughs: "Welcome to the Volkuta Bridal Market!"

Li Du suddenly realized: "No wonder you have to set off from Vorkuta to the Northern Islands, originally to participate in the bridal fair here?"

Steve said, "Yes, don't you think this custom is very novel?"

This is a tradition in the far north of Russia. It is said that it originated in the Bulgarian area, that is, the bride market to buy and sell brides.

It sounds a bit scary. What is the difference between buying and selling brides and human trafficking? There is indeed a difference, that is, the latter is illegal, and the former is legally existing under the traditional name.

In early May of each year, Vorkuta holds this annual event, not only the local residents, but also people in the surrounding towns.

Li Du had seen the introduction of this tradition when he knew Volkuta on the plane before, but he did not expect that he would run into it, so he uncovered it at a glance, and did not know much about it.

Steve knew he didn't know, so he introduced him: "Don't you know? This is the local annual carnival and the oldest tradition they still have."

Li Du obliquely glanced at him: "This city still has ancient history?"

Steve laughed: "In short, this is something that has been passed down before."

Vorkuta used to be a prisoner's exile, where law and order are poor, and families are poor. It is difficult for people to eat enough food. It is naturally more difficult to marry a wife and support the family.

In this case, the bride market came into being.

Every year, local families send their daughters who are of marriageable age to the market. The girls are dressed up carefully, standing here like cattle, waiting to be bought at a good price.

Up to now, this tradition has changed a lot. The girls no longer choose passively, they also have the right to choose, that is, when the young man sees them first and meets them, they will talk briefly, if speculation can enter the next step.

This is a bit like a blind date, but it is a blind date that is progressing at a rapid speed. The two sides only have tens of minutes to understand each other, and if they feel reliable, the man will pay.

This is also similar to a blind date marriage. The money the man pays is the gift, but the woman's family will not give the dowry, which is really selling her daughter.

Because of this power of mutual selection, the local government has not managed this tradition and allowed it to survive.

Vorkuta was still quite cold in May, but most of the brides were exposed, with low-cut skirts, black silk high-heeled or tights, and heavy makeup.

Steve and his party squeezed in. Little Ford laughed: "Choose to see, if we meet the one we like, we can buy it back. Anyway, the trip to the Arctic is lonely and cold, and it will be more comfortable to have a hot girl."

Li Du shook his head and said, "Choose your choice. I'll take a look. If Sophie knows I'm here to do this kind of thing, she definitely won't let me go out."

The Ford brothers hissed at him: "Oh, good man!"

Li Du looked around, just like an ordinary bazaar, there were people chatting and bargaining everywhere.

Shortly after his arrival, a blond girl next to him talked to a tall young man who was accompanied by a few older brothers. They took the money out of their pockets and handed it to the girl's parents. The marriage was a success.

Li Du watched his tongue out, which was a bit of a drama.

There are frozen bones in the smelly road of Zhumen wine. In fact, in addition to following the tradition, some people who participate in the bridal fair are really because of the poverty of their families and their lives are too hard. They have to rely on "selling daughters" to maintain their lives. The price of going out is the source of income for their future lives.

However, there is no legal protection for selling daughters, so sometimes it is not fair to the man. Some girls will get money and run away. The man loses both money and money.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Some men are crowding in and out of the crowd. Li Du was squeezed in, frowning, "Go slowly."

The men's faces were ugly, and they stuck out their middle fingers to him: "Go eat shit!"

Steve stopped the angry Li Du and said, "They are the victims of the defected bride. They paid for the bride and ran away. They came here to find someone."

Li Dudao: "Ha, that's too unfortunate."

Steve said, "So we have to take the opportunity to come and visit, maybe in a few years, this traditional event will be cancelled."

Li Du thinks that it will be cancelled sooner or later. Now that feminist consciousness is being increasingly valued, how can women be willing to be selected as livestock?

Little Ford introduced: "Not only is it related to women's rights, but also law and order. Now this market is gradually being controlled by gang forces, putting a cover on the activities of overcasting."

He instructed Li Du to look at ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Girls in some places are obviously dusty. When the man goes up, he directly inquires. The two sides can just talk a few words, the man pays, and the woman takes his hand to leave .

After a while, the woman who was taken away will come back again, waiting for the next client's choice.

There are also people who really come to choose a daughter-in-law. They often accompany their parents here. Just like people choose animals, the old people will check the girl's teeth, physical health, and even take a test to test the girl's IQ.

Some girls resist such things, they can refuse, and the man can only leave.

However, some men are similar to the dog skin plaster. Li Du saw a tall girl being stared at by a strong man who didn't look like a good person. The girl shook her head and waved her hand. The strong man still entangled her. Even pulling.

Li Du thought this was abnormal, so he stared at them. The strong man turned around and found him, and exclaimed angrily: "Hey, yellow dog, go away, I don't have bones here!"

When he came to Russia, Li Ducai found that the problem of racial discrimination was also serious here, and that Russians were worse than Americans in their attitude towards Chinese.
