Chapter 31 The Tatars
Tyumen Oilfield is located in the Siberian Basin and is the world's second largest super oilfield with proven reserves after the Middle East. However, if calculated based on production, Tyumen Oilfield can only rank third in the Soviet Union, behind Baku and Volga-Ural oilfields. The main reason is that the mining time is relatively late and the lack of funds to expand production capacity. Driving from Gorky to Tyumen is about 1,700 kilometers. As a fugitive in Seriosha, it is impossible to take public transportation like trains, so they can only do self-driving tours.
In order to pass the boring time on the long journey, Seriosha has been reading some magazines and newspapers on the planes brought back by Tonya, which will introduce some things from the Western countries, of course, they are all from the official perspective of the Soviet Union. It is mainly some comments on the political and economic aspects of NATO countries. Seriosha is most interested in military reports. Looking at the comparison between the Soviet Union and various countries, pictures of various aircraft and warships, maybe a man likes these.
The car was driven in turn by Yakov, Yuri, Seryosha and Mikhail. Boris was first recovered from the injury and stayed with his father Petrov to stay at home. When the car was still a distance from Tyumen, you could already see many oil reapers working. Although it was still daytime, the severely polluted air made people feel a little dark. When the car actually drove to Tyumen city, it was just the time for most units to get off work, and long queues began to line up in front of many food stores around the road.
Wu. Although people here are paying high wages, the food stores are also full of goods, and the prices are generally not expensive, if you look at the labels carefully, you will find that many of the things here are supplied by tickets. Not only food stores, but also by some daily necessities. Housewives have developed the habit of queuing after get off work. If a certain product in the store is sold, and it is not supplied by tickets, the housewives have the best experience to buy more. Even if you can't use it now, it is better than if you can't buy it when using it.
After a few walks around the city, the car found a good hotel. Mihail arranged a residence for everyone with a letter of introduction from the Gorky Automobile Manufacturing Factory. Perhaps because of its location in Siberia, the dinner was mainly about some Tartar food, soft and juicy Tartar pies. A bite of the mutton soup will flow into the mouth, mixed with the aroma of spices. Seriosha ordered lamb stuffed and beef stuffed. As soon as he came up, he was swept away by four hungry wolves. Then he grabbed the meat with hand grilled, and tore off a large piece and threw it into his mouth. Today, everyone didn't drink wine, but was drunk with gawas. The cold gawas and hot hand grilled meat were so much that he had to swallow his tongue. The dessert after the meal was cream cake with honey lemon tea. Several old men were eating it hot and said they were enjoyable.
After eating and drinking, everyone quickly rested. After eating the mutton, Seryosha felt warm in his stomach. Perhaps because of the fatigue during the journey, he soon fell asleep. He slept for a long time and did not wake up until noon the next day. Without the fatigue of the journey and the interference of hunger in his stomach, worries returned to Seryosha's mind again. Although Seryosha successfully coaxed William Pique, William Pique said it very clearly that the agreement between Seryosha and William would take effect only when the train loaded with crude oil safely entered Poland.
Under Yuri's arrangement, the other party readily agreed to meet Selyosha in the evening. The location was arranged in a restaurant featuring beef ribs on Pravdinsk Street. Yakov, Yuri, Selyosha and Mikhail rushed to the banquet as promised. As soon as they entered a restaurant called the Tatars, Selyosha and his group were stopped by two strong men. A guy behind them said: "Mr. Lomonosov has instructed that only Mr. Uriyanov (Seryosha) and Mr. Grachev (Yuri) are allowed to enter. Others are waiting outside. We will serve you with fine wine and delicacies."
Yuri suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He never thought that the other party would make such arrangements. He once told Selyosov that he had saved Lomonosov's life in Gulagli. He originally thought that Lomonosov would definitely sell him Yuri's face in this matter, but now he felt a little sorry for Yakov and Mikhail, and he also felt it was difficult to explain to Selyosov. So he took a step forward and wanted to say a few words, but before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Selyosov.
"Okay, it's all up to Mr. Lomonosov's arrangement!" Seriosha agreed happily, without seeing any dissatisfaction. Seriosha turned around and winked at Yakov and Mikhail. The two received Seriosha's instructions, and did not express any extreme expression. They followed Lomonosov's other subordinates. Seriosha and Yuri then walked into the restaurant hall.
After entering the hall, I suddenly realized that the restaurant called Tatar outside was inconspicuous. The paint on the restaurant door was a bit off, and the colored lights on the sign were also broken, and a letter on the sign was not even lit. However, after entering this restaurant, Selyosha was simply stunned. There was a bright crystal chandelier hanging in the lobby of the restaurant, which was very valuable at first glance. The floor was covered with bright marble tiles, and there were no dining tables and seats in the hall. There were some portraits of nomadic peoples, including sheep and hunting. It was vivid. Although I don’t know who it was, Selyosha could feel the extraordinaryness of these paintings.
"I thought it was a fly restaurant, but I didn't expect it to be like entering an art museum." Seriosha said in his heart. At the end of the hall was a circular staircase that slowly descended along the left and right sides. Yuri and Seriosha were led straight to the second floor by Lomonosov's men, and the waiters on both sides opened the door for them. This was a slightly smaller room. In the middle of the room, there was a long dining table with white tablecloths on it. There were bright dining candles on it, bright and beautiful.
Selyosci and Yuri were arranged in the seats. To be honest, the length of the dining table was a bit exaggerated. Yuri and Selyosci looked at each other and didn't understand what each other was doing. After a while, three huge silver lunch boxes were brought up. The waiter opened the lid for them and saw half of the beef ribs neatly placed in the center of the lunch box. The ribs were already roasted and the aroma of the barbecue instantly rushed to the nose. There were some chopped lemons and some toast cakes around the lunch box. The waiter did not place the tableware, but instead had an exquisite dagger on his hand at each seat.
Just when Serios was a little stunned, a short man walked into the room, and there were people everywhere he went to salute him with one hand and one hand to protect his chest. Yuri whispered to Serios, "This is Lomonosov!" The man named Lomonosov greeted enthusiastically, "Hey, Yuri, my brother!" After that, he opened his arms and hugged Yuri.
