After chatting for a while, Lu Ming got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Peter stuffed him with an unopened bottle of vodka and two cans of caviar, saying that he would try it when he went back.

Lu Ming didn't want it at first, but he couldn't stand Comrade Peter's enthusiasm, so he had to accept it. He really didn't like canned caviar very much, but he liked this vodka quite a lot.

After Lu Ming left, Andre smiled wryly: "I just said, he won't agree, and now he really refuses us."

"Who said that? I think he basically agreed, but he didn't show it directly." Peter laughed, and his beard fluttered.

After Lu Ming left, the two started talking in Russian.

"Didn't he make it clear just now that he would not be a spy for anyone?" Andre puzzled.

"My comrade, your professional level still needs to be improved. Let me tell you, as long as you express your willingness to do us a little favor, we should treat him as a comrade, and you can't go wrong. I have developed ten years in Europe with my own hands. Five spies, all started with a little favor, and now they are the toughest Bolshevik fighters."

"China is different from Europe, and the difference between Chinese and Europeans is greater, and this Lu Ming is different from ordinary Chinese." Andre shook his head, always feeling that things were not so easy.

"My comrades, people are all the same. Although there are differences in the skin color of different races, the spiritual world is the same." Peter laughed optimistically.

"By the way, the radio station will arrive the day after tomorrow. Do you really plan to set up a radio station here?" Andre asked.

"Well, I've checked around, and this is the best place to set up a radio station. Comrade Lu has helped us a lot."

"But we haven't communicated with the national government. It's hard to explain if they find out." Andre worried.

"It's nothing. Let's just say that the radio station is for domestic reporting. Even if they know about it, they will pretend not to see it."

The two continued to drink vodka and eat Russian food sweetly. This is the treatment only available when working abroad. In China, they rarely have the opportunity to eat such expensive caviar and drink such good vodka.

"By the way, it's best to get a few more radio stations and store them for future use." Peter said again.

"Why? It's useless if there are too many of these things." Andre thought the radio was a trouble, a curse.

"Of course it is for our Chinese comrades. They are in a very bad situation now. The army of the Republic of China government is chasing them too closely. They need more eyes and ears."

"I don't understand this point." Andre frowned, "You said that we left our comrades alone, but instead helped their political opponents train the army, and watched our comrades be encircled and suppressed, what is going on? "

"Comrade Andre, the intentions of the superiors are not something we can evaluate on our own. We aid the Nationalist Government with weapons and help them train the army for the purpose of fighting the Japanese invasion in the future, not for them to suppress Chinese comrades."

"However, the current situation is clearly..." Andre protested.

"Okay, comrade, these are things that the superiors have to worry about, we just do our work with peace of mind. We can't intervene in the internal struggles in China, even if it involves our own comrades."

To be honest, Peter couldn't understand the decision of his superiors, but he was not as stubborn as Andre, and he had to ask everything clearly.

Peter knew who he was and what he did. The discipline within the party was very strict. He just obeyed orders and did his job well. He never asked about things he shouldn't worry about, and put them in the back of his mind.

"In addition, you should pay attention to this Mr. Lu Ming, and see if there is anything he needs our help for. He has helped us, and we also need to help him a little bit, help each other, and finally become a family It is." Peter laughed.

"Understood, I will pay attention." Andre said with a smile, he had another lesson today, that is how to absorb a spy into the network.

Lu Ming returned to his residence, but saw Yan Xiaohui waiting outside the room.

"Why are you here?" he asked in surprise.

"What? You're not welcome, is there a beautiful woman hiding in your room?" Yan Xiaohui laughed.

"What, I didn't expect you to come in such a cold day. It's freezing outside, hurry up and get inside." Lu Ming laughed.

It was a coincidence that Yan Xiaohui came here, Yuan Mingzhu stayed here for several days, she just left at noon today, and she came in the afternoon, otherwise there is really a big beauty hidden in the room.

"Have you received the invitation?" Yan Xiaohui asked.

"Got it, three copies." Lu Ming smiled and raised three fingers.

"How come there are three copies?" Yan Xiaohui didn't understand what it meant.

She thought that the British Consulate would send invitations to Lu Ming, because of Lu Ming's classmate, they met at the Christmas party last time.

After entering the room, Lu Ming put the wine and canned caviar on the table, and then showed Yan Xiaohui the three invitations.

"It seems that you are really a 'xibao'. You are more popular than me. There are actually three consulates inviting you." Yan Xiaohui said a little sourly.

Lu Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't want to be popular. It would be best not to invite him in the whole family, so that he would be clean.

"Hey, who gave you this? Caviar, this thing is expensive." Yan Xiaohui asked when she saw the vodka and canned caviar on the table.

"A Russian sent it to me, and I did them a little favor." Lu Ming didn't want to tell Yan Xiaohui the real situation,

"Such an expensive can of caviar is exchanged for such a small favor? It doesn't seem like such a small favor." Yan Xiaohui said meaningfully.

Lu Ming was also heartbroken. It is indeed a little too enthusiastic to thank him with such an expensive can of caviar, so he should not give up.

"Do you like caviar? I like to give it to you. I'm not used to it." Lu Ming asked.

"Nonsense, who doesn't like good food, you can keep it for yourself." Yan Xiaohui pouted.

"I'm really not used to it, it smells like fish." Lu Ming frowned.

"It's because you eat less, and you will become addicted if you eat more times. I have eaten it a few times in the UK. It is not only expensive, but also difficult to buy. It is eaten with bread and a glass of vodka. The most beautiful taste." Yan Xiaohui recalled intoxicated.

"Hurry up, you take it all away, I have to trouble you to buy the bread yourself." Lu Ming said, put the wine and canned caviar in a paper bag and handed it to Yan Xiaohui.

Yan Xiaohui didn't refuse any more, knowing that Lu Ming might really not be used to eating it, Chinese people pay attention to what is delicious, not the more expensive the better.

But there is no European who doesn’t like caviar. Most people can’t afford it. It’s too rare and too expensive. Especially after the Soviet Union was isolated, the largest caviar producing area was blocked.

"You really don't want to keep a can and try it? Maybe you'll get used to it the second time." Yan Xiaohui asked holding the paper bag.

"No, I've tasted it no less than five times, and if I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it." Lu Ming waved his hand and smiled.

"That's good, it's cheap for me, hehe, I'm so happy today." Yan Xiaohui accepted it with endless joy.

There are also very few merchants selling caviar in Shanghai, and they all have to order in advance, and then ship from the Soviet Union. It takes a long period from the order to the arrival of the product. When you almost forget the taste of caviar, it is almost there.

The variety of caviar ordered through ordinary channels will not be very good, but if you can eat it, it is considered good.

Western society reported that the best caviar in the Soviet Union would not enter the circulation market, and had already been divided up by the upper class. No one knew whether it was true or not.
