In a private room on the top floor of the most luxurious Gorky Friendship Hotel in Gorky, a long dining table is lit with bright candles on silver candlesticks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info although the crystal lamp on the top of the box is bright enough. The dining table is covered with a white tablecloth. The middle is divided with bright flowers.

On both sides of the table, there were young people in their twenties and thirties, all of whom were responsible persons of the Youth League committees of several major enterprises and institutions in Gorky City. And sitting on the main seat was none other than the head of the Youth League Committee of the Automobile Repair Branch of the Gorky Automobile Factory, Seryosha's good brother Mikhail. We are all young people of the same age, so we can naturally say that we can go together. Talking about movies, the car soon everyone talked and laughed, and they became familiar with each other.

How is it possible to eat ordinary food in such a high-end place? Soon the first course was served and placed in front of everyone in a silver hood, along with a glass of champagne. When the lid was opened, many people were a little surprised, and there was only a small plate of black particles on the large tray. However, there are still many people who know the goods, and everyone knows that this is the top caviar of the Caspian Sea, which is more expensive than gold.

Everyone gently put a little bit of it in their mouths with a spoon, and the natural taste from the Caspian Sea made everyone a little unbearable. Everyone nodded to the people around them and praised the deliciousness of the caviar.

Although Mikhail sat on the main seat, he was the youngest in the office. However, he is here today in place of Seryosha, and he is the east, so there is nothing wrong with sitting on the throne. Sitting on Mikhail's left and right were the heads of the Youth League Committee of the Gorky Port and the Gorky Automobile Factory, both of whom were Seryosha's own people, and the Gorky Automobile Factory had a good relationship with Mikhail on weekdays, while the person in charge of the Gorky Port met Mikhail through the relationship with Mrs. Zhukovsky. On the table sat the heads of the Youth League committees of some other units, such as the Gorky Textile Factory, the Gorky Tractor Factory. These units Mikhail and Seryosha did not have too deep contacts with them, so Mikhail took this opportunity to take the initiative to make friends.

Unlike the habit of Chinese who like to talk about things at the dinner table, Westerners will only talk about some light-hearted topics during meals, and Western dinner is the main meal of the day, the time span is very long, and it is common to eat a meal for two hours on average.

After everyone tasted the first dish, the waiter removed the utensils they had just used for them, and when the utensils were all cleaned up, the second course was served. When the lid on the plate was opened, a bowl of inconspicuous clear soup was laid out in front of me.

"Australian lobster soup!" Mikhail explained to everyone, everyone reacted, picked up the tableware and began to taste, the entrance is fragrant, you can experience the umami of lobster, this is really a charming taste! Everyone couldn't stop admiring, and Mikhail smiled with satisfaction as he watched everyone's reaction.

"Secretary Mikhail! This soup is so delicious! A young lady with glasses exclaimed.

"The caviar just now is really delicious!" A man in a military uniform said again.

"If everybody likes it, it's fine! There are even better dishes waiting for you below! Mikhail replied.

After everyone had finished the sweet lobster soup, several large plates of fresh oysters were served, and each person put a few on their new plates with tweezers. And it is accompanied by vodka, the national drink of Russia. The waiter pries open the oysters for everyone, and everyone sucks on the oyster meat and oyster sauce to feel the delicious taste from nature.

"Oh God! It's just delicious! ”

……

Although these young people have been cadres in the Youth League Committee for several years, it is the first time they have seen such a luxurious dinner. Everyone felt like they were making the trip. After eating such delicious food here, the so-called big meals on weekdays are simply hard to swallow.

When everyone began to taste the dessert of the meal, the gold leaf ice cream, Mikhail waved his hand, and the waiters brought a small covered plate to everyone.

"Bah! Mikhail, how come there is still a dish! A cadre in his thirties asked. After a night, everyone became acquainted with each other, so they no longer recognized each other as officials.

Mikhail picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "This dish is our finale dish today, but there are conditions for eating this dish!" ”

"What conditions? It's not going to be a treat! I can say it up front! We're all poor! A cheerful girl said, and everyone was amused by her words.

"The conditions are very simple, you only need to support our secretary Ulyanov at the extraordinary meeting of the city Youth League Committee in a few days! It's that simple! As soon as Mikhail's words fell, many of the hands that stretched out to open the lid retracted, and everyone looked at Mikhail in unison, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Isn't this dish delicious! Mikhail said with a smile.

Everyone put down the utensils in their hands, and the scene immediately fell into silence. After a long time, the man in his thirties said: "Mikhail, if it was anything else, we could have agreed, but this is the only thing that has made it difficult for us!" Secretary Ulyanov is our boss, and it is said that we should support her, but Secretary Bogdanov of the city party committee has already made a statement, please forgive us for not being able to do anything! ”

"I suggest you open the lid first and see if this dish suits your taste!" Mikhail was not in a hurry, he said to everyone with a smile.

Everyone watched the reactions of the people around them, cautiously opened the lid on the tray, and couldn't help but gasp, there were four stacks of banknotes neatly placed on each plate.

"What is this?" Someone asked incredulously.

"Forty thousand rubles, your reward for doing me this favor!" Mikhail replied.

There was a tangled expression on everyone's face, this is 40,000 rubles, almost ten years of everyone's salary, such a large sum of money, only one exchange for the support of the Youth League Committee, it is really too generous.

"I still have a large family to support, and I can't refuse this large sum of money!" The head of the Youth League of the Gorky Automobile Plant, who was sitting next to Mikhail, replied. He picked up the money from his plate and put it away. Soon the head of the regiment of the Gorky port also surrendered, followed by the third, then the fourth......

In the next room, Seryosha and Daddy quietly tasted the dishes, and through a one-way mirror on the wall, they had been observing the development of events in Mikhail's place, and fortunately, no one refused Mikhail's gift.

"These children were ruined by you!" Daddy said as he ate ice cream.

"They picked the road themselves, and from the moment they stepped through the doors of this fancy restaurant, they had already ruined themselves!" Seryosha smiled and sighed. (To be continued.) )
