Whether it was Solikovsky's arrival or Konstantin calling for help everywhere, these scenes fell in Sokov's eyes. But he didn't say anything, because he knew very well that no matter what happened, Yakov was enough to settle it, so why did he have to make it happen. Therefore, he pretended to be nothing and chatted with Yakov sitting opposite him.
Yakov asked, "Misha, do you think the German army will still attack Moscow?"
"No." The answer came out of Sokov's mouth. But when he saw the surprised expression on Yakov's face, he quickly added: "At least, there will be no attack in the short term. You must know that it is the season for spring thawing, and the roads have become muddy, and both our army and the German army's logistics supply will be affected to varying degrees. In this case, the enemy and our sides will enter a relatively calm stalemate."
Regarding Sokov's statement, Yakov was about to express his opinion, but he saw the restaurant's deputy manager Konstantin running over. He placed the two menus in front of Yakov and Sokov, and then said diligently to Yakov: "Captain, this is your menu. See what you need to order. I will immediately ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Yakov is also a smart man. When he saw the deputy manager's attitude of Ju and Hou Gong, he guessed that the other party must have received some hints. He didn't say it out loud, but simply looked through the menu and started ordering: "Shredded beet herring salad, pickled vegetables platter, pickled fish, meat jelly, smoked sausage, grilled lamb chops..."
After clicking here, Yakov put down the menu and asked Sokov, who was sitting opposite him: "Misha, can you eat fatty meat now?"
Sokov didn't know what Yakov asked, so he could only answer casually: "Eat some occasionally."
"Then let's have another Salou." Yakov continued, handing the menu to Constantine, "Hot soup, please red vegetable soup; if you want wine, don't have it, give us two large cups of kvas."
Constantine took the menu and replied respectfully: "Captain, please wait. The dishes you want will be delivered to you as soon as possible." After that, he stepped back and left the table.
"Did you order a little too much?" Sokov asked with some concern when he thought of Yakov ordering almost ten dishes in one breath, "Can we finish it?"
When Yakov heard Sokov say this, his face turned red, and then he said, "No problem, since I came back from there, my appetite has been very good. If the dishes here weren't too expensive, I might have ordered a few more."
Almost as the dishes started to serve, a man in a black tweed coat and a grey otter fur hat hurriedly walked in from outside the restaurant. Seeing this person's arrival, Konstantin, who was standing by the counter, showed joy on his face. He quickly met him, and whispered to the position where Yakov and the others were sitting, "Comrade Manager, you are back and serving the captain and the others."
After confirming Yakov and his location, the restaurant manager Fatieyev quickly walked to the table, took off his hat on his head, and smiled at Yakov and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Yakov, because the personnel in the restaurant have been adjusted recently, the newcomers do not know you. If this causes any inconvenience to you, I apologize to you on their behalf."
Constantine, who was standing aside, saw the manager who had always been happy and angry, nodded and bowed to please a young captain, which surprised him. When the captain showed goodwill, he actually had a calm attitude. He just said casually: "It doesn't matter, comrade manager, it's all a misunderstanding. Look, the food is here."
Seeing that Yakov did not blame him, Fadeyev couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you from eating. If you have any needs, please feel free to give me instructions. Wish you a good appetite!"
After seeing Fatiev leave the dining table, Constantine headed towards his office, hurriedly chased after him and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Manager, I want to take the liberty to ask, Who is that captain?"
Fadeyev stopped and looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "That is Yakov, Captain Yakov Jugashvili, although it is a very ordinary name. However, if he has another surname, it is worth our convenience for him."
"What surname?" Constantine asked curiously.
"Stalin!" After Fateyev said this, he turned around and left, returning to his office, leaving Constantine alone standing in the corridor in a daze.
"Stalin?!" Constantine was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat after repeating the surname he heard in her heart. He really didn't expect that the captain who was almost driven out of the restaurant was Stalin's son! But he thought he was intentionally coming to make trouble, so he secretly called the police and tried to drive them away. Fortunately, the police chief recognized the other party in time, so he did not make a big mistake.
But thinking of this, he felt resentful to the police chief Solikovsky, and secretly said that he recognized Stalin's son and did not tell him, and wanted to make a fool of himself. But he forgot that before leaving, Solikovsky specifically reminded him to contact his manager Fatiev to resolve the crisis. Otherwise, waiting for his fate would not only be dismissed, but also in prison.
When Sokov saw the sliced ​​Ukrainian dish "Salou" on the table, he immediately understood why Yakov asked himself if he ate fat meat when ordering dishes. Although this fat pork marinated with salt is known as a unique meaty aroma, fat but not greasy taste, and thin but not tiring, it is really not something that everyone can eat. At least he feels a little disgusting when he looks at this dish now.
Among the dishes ordered by Yakov, except for this "Salou", the rest are delicious, allowing Sokov, who is gnawing bread slices every day on the front line to have a feast.
Sokov was in great pleasure when he suddenly saw a man and a woman walking in from outside the restaurant. The man was wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat, and he was obviously a bad guy from a certain country. The woman was a young girl with a bun tied high in her hair. She was wearing an iron gray mink coat that was longer than the knee, with a wide black leather belt around her waist and a pair of red high heels under her feet. When Sokov saw the other person's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Misha, what are you looking at?" Yakov saw Sokov eating, and suddenly stared at one direction. He quickly reached out to his eyes and shook it twice, and asked curiously: "What makes you so engross in your eyes?" After asking, he instinctively turned his head and looked behind him.
After he saw clearly a man and a woman who had just walked into the restaurant, he turned around and smiled at Sokov and said, "Misha, you have a good vision. This is indeed a beauty."
"Yes, she is a rare beauty." Sokov said, but thought to himself: "Strange, isn't she a female translator Ajelina? At this moment, she should be in a special department for training, so why did she appear here?"
After seeing the two of you sitting at a table, the male waiter in the restaurant hurriedly walked over with the menu, put the menu in front of the two, and asked politely: "Sir, ma'am, this restaurant welcomes you both. What do you need to eat?"
The man seemed to be such a regular customer. He didn't look at the menu at all, so he ordered a few dishes. After he handed the menu back to the male waiter, he asked the woman with a smile: "Aina, what do you want to eat?"
The woman, known as Aina, smiled sweetly at the other party, also handed the menu in her hand to the male waiter and said, "Same as his."
"Please wait, the dishes you want will come soon." After the male waiter packed the menu, he bowed slightly to the two of them, turned around and left.
Sokov looked carefully at the woman who was chatting and laughing with the man. The more he looked, the more he looked like the female translator Ajelina he met in the prisoner-of-war camp. In order to confirm his judgment, he said to Yakov: "Yakov, I seem to see an acquaintance. I will go over and say hello to her." After that, he put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and got up and walked towards the woman who was suspected to be Ajelina.
He stepped to the dining table, nodded politely to the man, and then asked the woman, "Hello, are you Ajielina?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a confused expression appeared on the woman's face: "Ajelina, who is Ajelina? Comrade Commander, have you recognized the wrong person?!"
The man originally thought that his female companion and the Soviet officer who came over were old acquaintances and remained silent. When he heard that Aina didn't know him, he said in broken Russian: "Mr. Officer, this is my friend Aina, not Ajelina. If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb us to have a meal! OK?"
The man's reproach made Sokov regret his recklessness. He felt that he might have made a mistake. This woman just looked very similar to Ajelina. Just as he was about to apologize to the two and turned back to his dining table, he accidentally found a mole on the woman's left earlobe. When he saw this mole, he immediately understood in his heart that the woman sitting in front of him was Ajelina who had been with him for a while. She might have any difficulties if she didn't recognize her.
Thinking of this, he faced Ajelina, looked at the other person's eyes, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Beautiful girl, I apologize to you for my recklessness. Please accept my apology!"
A sweet smile appeared on Ajelina's face and said, "Comrade officer, I accept your apology." When she said this, she took advantage of the inattention of the man next to her and quietly winked at Sokov.
When Sokov returned to his seat, Yakov asked, "Is it your acquaintance?"
"No, not an acquaintance." Sokov knew that Ajelina would not recognize him, so he must have his own difficulties. Therefore, he shook his head and replied, "I recognized the wrong person!"
