Chapter 1572 White Russia Is Not White

The little Ukrainian beauty is in a sad state, and she doesn't feel irritated by Yang Cheng's words, because Yang Cheng's behavior has not reached the point of being annoying.

It is inevitable to be struck up in a bar. The most annoying thing is the kind of person who always looks arrogant, which makes people feel disgusted.

"Eureka~"

Just when Yang Cheng was about to retreat, the little beauty said something lightly.

Yang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and finally got on with the conversation, "It's an honor to meet you on such a night, what a beautiful name, Eureka, if I'm right, are you from Ukraine?"

Eureka pinned a strand of hair behind her ears, turned her head and looked at Yang Cheng with those blue eyes, and shook her head gently, "No, I'm from Belarus~"

Yang Cheng was taken aback. Although it wasn't Ukraine, he didn't guess wrong. They were all from that area. Speaking of Belarus, the origin of the name was not because people in this country had fair skin. Such an understanding would be too superficial.

Both Belarusian and polar bears belong to the Slavic species, and the name Slavic was named in Roman times.

At that time, there were mainly three major ethnic groups living in Europe. For the convenience of management, Rome named them Germans, Celts, and Slavs. If Slavs are translated into Chinese, they mean "good".

Later, the Slavic tribes were divided into three branches: west, east and south;

The western branch is today's Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks, and the southern branch is the current Serbs, Montenegrins, Croats, Slovenians, Macedonians, and Bulgarians;

The eastern branch is polar bears, Belarusians, Ukrainians.

Therefore, from the process of the change of the Slavic race, Belarus and Russia are relatively close in blood.

But where Eureka is from, Yang Cheng doesn't care, the important thing is that the two of them got in touch, and this is the beginning of a beautiful night, so Yang Cheng is going to show off his knowledge, and no matter what, he has to arouse her interest, this embarrassing It would be a heinous crime if she couldn't get her hands on the beauties who only appeared in fairy tales.

Although in the past he hated people who showed off for no reason the most, but for the sake of beautiful women, he didn't care so much, he had to use all the tricks he could!

Looking at Eureka in feigned surprise, "Are you from Belarus? It's really a beautiful country. Unfortunately, I've never been there, but do you know the origin of your country's name?"

Eureka took the bait, subconsciously looked at Yang Cheng, and blushed with a dazed look, "I once read a historical record that the Slavs living in Belarus and Russia today mainly rely on boating and fishing.

In the era of the Roman Byzantine Dynasty, the mainstream people used Greek.

If you translate "boating" in Greek, the pronunciation is Rus, which is Ross.

At that time, there was no country name, and the Byzantine Dynasty used the "Land of Ross" to refer to today's Russia and other places.

Due to reasons such as translation and the pronunciation of prefixes, the Slavs living in Russia today began to call themselves Russia, which gradually became a synonym for a nation.

From the 9th to the 11th century, the Kingdom of Kievan Rus was established on the land of Russia and Belarus. At that time, there was no distinction between Russia and Belarus. It was not until the 14th century that the name Belarus appeared in history. "

I have to say that foreigners generally fail in history classes, not to mention Belarusians, even if you ask an American to ask him about the history of his country, he probably can’t tell one, two, three, at most he knows that his country is When you stop, you will make a lot of war money.

Not to mention the girl in front of me who seems to be less than 20 years old,

With that dazed look on his face, he lived so long to realize that the name of his country was derived from Greek?

As for the origin of the name Belarus, Eureka didn't know anything about it, but she did become interested. This is a bar, a place for chatting, and I didn't expect to be able to take history lessons. Of course, if it is the history of other countries, especially Lika definitely has no interest in it, but she still wants to know about the history of her own country.

Anyway, there is nothing left and right, chatting with this handsome Asian can also divert attention.

There is no way, anyone who is sold to the United States by his beloved will be heartbroken.

Yang Cheng took a sip of the mojito, the refreshing taste was like a fuel additive, fueling his desire to speak!

"There is no fixed explanation for the name of Belarus, but several legends are quite reliable. For example, the people of Belarus believe that they have more pure ancient Slavic blood than Russia and Ukraine, and feel that they are 'pure Russians'. ', that is to say, 'white' has the meaning of snow white and pure;

Then there is the ancient Belarusian, who likes to wear bleached linen clothing and white leggings, so the nation is changed to Belarus.

In addition, the Belarusians were liberated from the rule of the Tatars, and "white" means freedom or liberation.

These statements are actually very reasonable and meaningful, but no matter what, the name of Belarus is to tell everyone that there is a difference between itself and Russia, and they are different branches of the same nation, and the two cannot be compared. "

Eureka suddenly realized, and spoke English with a strange tone, "Thank you, this is the first time I know that the name of my country has so many meanings."

Yang Cheng raised his glass and said, "It's nothing. I like to understand the different cultures of various countries, which will enrich my experience. In fact, I have a good impression of Belarus. It is a beautiful country, and only such a country can A beauty like you was born."

It is not the first time that Eureka has been praised for her beauty. She has been praised since she was a child, and she is almost immune. However, Yang Cheng's praise still made her have a different feeling, "Are you Chinese? It is also the first time I know such a personality. Open Chinese."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "It's a pity you didn't know me sooner~"

"It's not too late~" Unexpectedly, Eureka was still very good at talking, Yang Cheng felt a little more confident.

After chatting on this topic for another ten minutes, the two of them finished their glasses of wine, Yang Cheng tentatively said, "One more drink? It's mine~"

Eureka hesitated for a while and nodded slightly. She came to the bar to drink, and this is just a cocktail. Where can I go~

"Thank you~"

Yang Cheng snapped his fingers, "Here, two glasses of Black Russia~"

'Black Russia' is also a cocktail. It is characterized by its high alcohol concentration, but it is easy to drink. It is based on vodka, and it is named after its color similar to cola.

The recipe is also very simple, use vodka as the base wine, add nectar coffee and coffee syrup in the second layer, see the bartender put ice cubes first, then pour in vodka, and then slowly pour in nectar coffee , and then add coffee syrup to ease the spiciness and shake it.

Soon, two glasses of cocktails like iced cola were placed in front of them.
