Would a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee wander around with the deputy chairman of the KGB, who was not even a member of the Central Committee? This happened, not because Brezhnev was idle, but because he found Serov's thinking about dealing with things very interesting. It was not a conventional approach, and it just so happened that Brezhnev also needed time to deal with Khrushchev returning home, and before that, he could look around.

In fact, in his heart, Brezhnev still didn't talk enough with Serov, and a month after leaving Ryazan Oblast, Serov, who kicked the entire Ryazan Oblast, came back again, and the surviving cadres of the Ryazan Oblast, as well as the director of the KGB agency and the director of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs, were all trembling in their hearts, knowing that their boss really counted what he said, and said that he would definitely come back after a month to inspect the work.

"40,000 wild boars were killed in 40,000 square kilometers in the whole state, and other wild deer, rabbits, wolves and other animals add up to 10,000 tons of meat products!" Because of Serov's order, the KGB, the Internal Guard, and the entire Ryazan hunters experienced the joy of hunting, and the wild animals of Ryazan also suffered, and they will definitely not recover in a few years.

But this is not in Serov's consideration, he can't even spend this year, and after what to talk about, "Very good!" Serov gave some encouragement to his two subordinates, "I will apply to Chairman Shelepin to mobilize some funds to purchase these achievements, and have you kept the skins of those animals?" ”

In his bones, he is a calculating Chinese, and if he wastes a higher value just for eating meat, Serov obviously cannot forgive himself. These hides and skins are processed and sold to foreign countries, and the money from the purchase of meat should also be earned. This is all genuine leather, and it is good to make leather shoes and coats, so let the First Main Directorate of the KGB investigate the market demand in some countries.

"It's kept, but it's not very easy for us to catch the forest frogs, and a lot of them have died!" The head of the Directorate of Internal Affairs said that he understood perfectly. To put it simply, they don't know how to raise. But this problem Serov can't solve it, he can only eat and not raise, this problem is not difficult to solve, biologists can breed forest frogs after studying the habits, and the basic conditions in Ryazan Oblast are so good, even if it is unsuccessful breeding, it can be completely developed.

"Chairman Brezhnev. Are you interested in trying our local Ryazan food? Today's meal will definitely make you unforgettable! Serov closed two of his subordinates and delivered the report, and Brezhnev was also there, so that they could taste the game in the mountains and forests.

"Of course I'm interested, Yuri, this kind of life reminds me of military life during the Great Patriotic War!" Brezhnev liked this feeling very much, not so much nostalgic for the hard days of the past, but nostalgic for that feeling of ease.

That's no problem, notify the canteen of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs to start cooking, Serov, who is a strong-mouthed king, can't cook. It doesn't matter, he'll eat. Serov was not afraid of anyone when he moved his mouth, even if Brezhnev was listening to his introduction next to him, looking at the analysis of the Tao at the head, a trace of feeling rose in his heart.

"For example, many of the native species of our Soviet Union, such as the salmon that we are doing, are at a stage that no other country has heard of except ourselves. This is not possible, such as very rich European and American countries. Because their land is more suitable for human habitation, there are almost no unpolluted rivers. Although our country is vast and sparsely populated, and the places that are not conducive to living are very large and cause great trouble to our country, there are also benefits, and many species are in the most natural stage. Rather than food that is in the midst of industrial pollution, we should look for the stage in terms of quality. It is difficult to say this in industrial products, but it is very simple in food, the same kind of fish, the fish in the Soviet Union is big, the litter is more, and we advertise our food as natural and pollution-free. Filming a documentary in Siberia from the inaccessible world to face the challenges of foreign markets in terms of health and environmental protection......"

Serov's mouth kept introducing Brezhnev, and with the fragrance of fish, people unconsciously believed his words. Brezhnev had no doubt about what he heard, because Serov spoke completely differently than when some cadres gave reports, and this was the second time he had heard Serov's gushing words, which he had heard in the last kitchen debate, but the two had not yet met directly.

Makes sense, right? I found that it comes from life, I have nothing to do to buy more fish, I have met more fishmongers, I will introduce you to the benefits of the fish they sell, listen to it twice and synthesize it yourself, and this set of theories that is enough to fool Brezhnev will come out. Serov has seen much more than they, the natives of the Soviet Union, have seen.

"In this way, the people of our country are no worse than the United States!" Brezhnev rose to the feeling that it was so.

"It can't be said that in terms of quantity we are not as good as the Americans, but in terms of quality we have absolutely no problem, the problem is that our people eat only half of the Americans, and even if the quality is high, it will not change the hunger of the people!" Serov spread his hands and said helplessly, "Our Soviet transportation is too a problem, and it takes too long for seafood from Pacific fisheries to be transported to Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the Baltic side. As a result, the state-run supermarkets in Central Asia only have beef and mutton, while the coastal areas lack meat supply......"

Brezhnev nodded knowingly, it turned out to be a problem of logistics. Judging from the plans drawn up by the Soviet food supply makers on the plan statement, the food supply should not be a problem. However, the losses caused during transportation were not planned, and the huge territory of the Soviet Union could only be described as ordinary transportation, resulting in high logistics costs, not to mention waste during transportation.

"It's like a fish, you can stew it or make caviar, my own goal is that it has to be stewed and made into caviar, this is not a conflict at all, just take out the caviar before stewing the fish......" Serov, who was holding the caviar, gestured, and then put the caviar in front of Brezhnev and Chernenko.

It's very simple to say, but the problem of the planned economy in the Soviet Union lies here, for example, the capitalists will definitely pursue value in this way, and the factories in the Soviet Union want to be as simple as possible, just like a big salmon, if the Soviets are allowed to do it, it is likely that there will be a situation where Serov said that it will be stewed directly, and the roe will not be taken out first.

"General Serov, if we pursue profit, what is the difference between us and those capitalists?" Chernenko asked very seriously, "Once we start chasing profits, how can we ensure that companies will cut corners because of the pursuit of profits?" ”

"It is understandable to use the means of the capitalists against the capitalists, I want the capitalists to sell us ropes, and those capitalists who do not sell us ropes, I will hang them first, and the ropes used are the ...... given to us by the capitalists who cooperate with us" said such a sentence like a tongue twister, Serov pointed to the KGB armband on his military uniform and said, "Anti-rebel workers, absolutely will not allow this kind of quality problem belonging to the capitalists to appear in our country, if some comrades feel that the people of the country, You can also use the means to fool the capitalists, and they can try ......"

Since the merger of the two departments, Serov in Moscow ordered that local institutions with conditions must have dinner in one canteen, so that they could communicate feelings. After everyone had arrived, Serov praised the achievements of the state security cadres of the Ryazan region in the past month, and at the same time introduced Brezhnev and Chernenko to the cadres present, and took the lead in applauding the ......

Brezhnev also said a few words of encouragement from the Ryazan security cadres and began to eat. To the surprise of Brezhnev and Chernenko, Serov was a picky eater, not interested in ordinary meals, but constantly striving for caviar and a potato stew called a forest frog, and wished to eat a whole pot of forest frogs by himself. This made Brezhnev and the others stunned for a while, the forest frog was not on the Soviet recipe, except for the North Koreans in some coastal areas of the Far East.

"Yuri, is this thing delicious?" Brezhnev couldn't help but ask when he saw that Serov was eating so deliciously.

Serov, who was eating a toad's leg, reacted quite comfortably, and said by eating caviar, "In terms of nutritional value, meat is not as good as fish, and fish is not as good as shrimp." The smaller the animal, the higher the taste and value, but they cannot replace all the energy of meat, because they are too small to meet all the needs of the human body. But when you can, you still have to give it a try! ”

"Oh?" Brezhnev forked a forest frog with a fork, which looked so disgusting, and this was the effect of Serov asking the chef to chop off the head of the forest frog with a knife, otherwise Brezhnev would not even want to try it.

Eating one carefully, Brezhnev's face changed instantly, and the taste was quite good, much better than the taste of eating bread every day, "Ustinovich, you also taste it, it tastes very good, I didn't expect this kind of thing to taste so good, Yuri, what will happen if the sales of export forest frogs are made?" ”

"It's not good, as far as I know, Eastern countries like to eat forest frogs, but whether it is China, North Korea, or Vietnam, the economic conditions there are very poor, and when food is a problem, it is obviously not practical to eat forest frogs!" Serov took a plate of fungus and dipped it in a little soy sauce and said, "Fungus, a fungus that grows in the forest area, the biggest effect is to dredge the intestines, which can clean up the toxins precipitated by the body, and the elderly who have begun to decline should eat a little more......"

As soon as these words were spoken, Brezhnev already had a fungus in his hands, trying his first trip with soy sauce, and Chernenko followed. Serov forgot, both were in their fifties. (To be continued.) )
