After talking about important things, then there will be no "estrangement" between everyone.

Since you are in the Soviet Union, you have to follow the customs of the locals.

After enjoying a very rich massage service, Song Zhichao followed Yorkfu and others out of the hot spring field, and then started a formal "dinner".

The venue chosen for the dinner, of course, was not an ordinary large hotel or an ordinary banquet hall, but a secret social meeting place for the upper classes of the Soviet Union.

At the entrance, it is directly guarded by black-clothed people with guns and nuclear bombs, not to mention that ordinary people go in, even if they get a little closer, it is estimated that they will eat guns.

Looking at the surrounding buildings, all the Russian-style attics, piled together, become a mysterious black castle.

Seeing such a complex, Song Zhichao's first thought flashed to the social scene in the Russian writer Turgenev's "The House of the Nobles---", which proved that Song Zhichao's imagination was really accurate, because the scene after entering was almost exactly the same as the plot in it.

The Russian-style aristocracy will not change much because of the different times.

......

The luxurious social hall is resplendent with gold, and the top of the dome-like hall, hanging high in the air, is gorgeously colored, carved with gilt Norse mythological images, and if you look closely, it is the "Odin Travels to the World" in the Norse mythological story:

Odin, the Lord of the Gods, was a traveler and constantly increased his knowledge and wisdom as he traveled. Therefore, Odin often traveled to the world, disguised as an old man or a sorcerer, to observe the suffering in the world, and also to punish the evil and promote the good. In the middle garden where humans lived, many miracles of Odin were left behind.

The figures on the entire huge mural are vivid, whether they are gods or people, full of realistic desire, and next to the image story, a line of poetry is written in Russian:

For eight nights I didn't move my body,

No one brought meat and mead;

Only Angner, son of Girald,

He will be the master of the Gothic lands.

Song Zhichao looked at it carefully and remembered clearly that this should be the famous "Song of Grimnir" in Odin's travels.

If the entire splendid hall is filled with Western art such as murals, then it is the purple tulips that are arranged around the hall and can still bloom in winter.

On a cold winter day, when I see these bright flowers, my first feeling is to embrace the rare "spring".

In fact, in Song Zhichao's view, although it looks like a palace, it is actually more like a very high-grade "private club", not to mention the luxurious decoration, and the most important thing is that it is full of mysterious charm.

......

"How is it, dear Song, are you satisfied with this place, compared to your Hong Kong?" Yorkoff deliberately flirted in front of Song Zhichao, so he snapped his fingers beautifully, asked for a "martini", and asked as he drank it.

Song Zhichao smiled, looked around, and said, "Very good, low-key luxury has connotation." ”

Yorkoff: "......"

Obviously stunned, he said: "Dear Song, I can always hear some very fresh and sobering words from your mouth, if I didn't know that you were a businessman, I thought you were some kind of writer." ”

Song Zhichao was also very thick-skinned, just smiled at this, and said: "I also love literature very much, just like the poem written on this mural, it should be the story that happened after Odin incarnated as Grimnir--- the tortured Grimnir took the horn cup and took a sip of water. By this time, the flames in the brazier behind him had already burned his dark blue shirt. In the firelight, Odin, in the form of Grimnir, sang the hymn, in which he recounted in detail the origin of the world and mankind, the gods who ruled over the world, and the scene in the Garden of God's kingdom of Asaph. Finally, he tells the people in front of him that he himself is Odin, the supreme ruler of the world. ”

If at the beginning, Yorkev's sentence was just a polite compliment, or even a ridicule, he didn't really expect Song Zhichao to say any words like a writer, but Song Zhichao's untraceable 'quotation' directly told Yorkoff how proficient Song Zhichao's understanding of Russian literature was.

At this moment, not to mention Yokfu, even Bodoev and others began to look at Song Zhichao with admiration, thinking that he was just a cunning Hong Kong businessman with a copper smell, but he didn't expect that he was still a literary and artistic young man.

In this era, "literature and art" is definitely synonymous with nobility, and you can eat it anywhere.

Therefore, Song Zhichao was immediately warmly embraced by York, and laughed: "Dear Song, I appreciate you more and more! Yes, you are a beautiful friend!"

York's life is a general, and it sounds like a commanding general, but to put it bluntly, he is a rough man, and there is not much ink in his stomach, if it weren't for the promotion to become a general, it is estimated that he would not even know a few words.

But Yorkoff was a very vassal character, especially in this kind of high society, vassal elegance was very popular. Especially if you don't have any literature and ink in your stomach, you want others to say that you have culture, knowledge, and taste.

......

The banquet is in progress---

The Russian-style "dinner" is different from the traditional dinner of the Chinese, and it is even more different from the British gentleman's dinner, the French romantic dinner, and the American-style open dinner.

Russians are very heavy drinkers, from the upper class to the lower class, almost every man loves alcohol, and even many women love to drink. Perhaps because of the cold weather, spirits became a necessity in their lives.

In the past, Song Zhichao saw on a lot of lace news that every winter, Russia issued a ban on alcohol, strictly prohibiting drinking at night. The reason is that many men often sleep on the streets after drinking, and end up freezing to death.

Now, after coming to the Soviet Union a few times, Song Zhichao has only occasionally seen some Soviet Russians drinking, but it is really the first time he has come into contact with this way of drinking at a "feast".

The huge spittoon-like wine cups--- according to Yokfu, were made into wine cups by the Vikings, the ancestors of their Kiev region, after slashing their enemies, and then used them to drink, and then this custom was passed down and became a favorite of warriors. In short, it was to take a glass the size of a spittoon, fill it with strong vodka, and then the men took turns one by one, and each of them had a large glass.

Those who drink it all in one go will be applauded by the applause of everyone at the scene, as well as the favor of the beauties on the scene, and those who wilt without a few sips will be ridiculed.

WHEN THE HUGE SPITTOON WINE GLASS WAS PASSED INTO SONG ZHICHAO'S HAND, SONG ZHICHAO LOOKED AT THE JAR OF SPIRITS AND SNIFFLED, THIS TIME HE WAS REALLY A LITTLE UNABLE TO HOLD IT.
