Chapter 50 The Laughing Tiger

The van parked at the T-junction in the center of Xiji Street.

Lu Zheng, Liu Dacai, and Tang Gen got out of the car and entered a snack shop selling wonton dumplings in the southwest corner of the T-junction for dinner.

The three of them had just returned from Beijing and arrived at Xiji in the van. At the lunch point, Lu Zheng suggested to beat Jianer to have dinner. He didn't go to the state-owned hotel, so as not to be recognized by the boss's wife and add trouble.

The newly built highway runs across the Xiji River, the streets look spacious, and the newly built bungalows on both sides are much more grand.

There are not many people in the snack department. At the peak of road construction, Xiji has launched six or seven snack departments to earn money from road paving workers. Now there are not many that are still in operation. In the countryside, restaurants are still very luxurious and not many people can afford them, let alone Qinglong, whose annual income was less than 150 yuan last year. Although Xiji is relatively rich, it is also extremely limited.

When he saw the three guests coming in, the owner of the snack house immediately smiled and greeted him. He was a dark and strong young man, as attentive as a waiter in a TV series, and he almost used a rag to help the three of them dust the soil.

The hot wontons with coriander were served quickly. Lu Zheng tasted them. The skin was thin and the filling was big, and the taste was delicious. Nodded, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I don't know if I'm hungry, but I feel the taste is pretty good. You guys." He reached out and gestured.

Tang Genshui and Liu Dacai then picked up the spoon and scooped up wonton soup to drink.

Liu Dacai used to look down on Tang Genshui's grandson in front of Lu Zheng, but while picking up the spoon, he was shocked to find that he was now exactly the same as Tang Genshui. I was afraid that the smile on his face would be as flattering as ever.

Liu Dacai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what electricity felt like.

But after seeing the young county magistrate’s arrogance in the capital, how easy is it to say that he still maintains a normal mind?

Tang Genshui smiled and said, "County Magistrate, you are eating shark fin. I didn't expect this country thing, you didn't dislike it. You really got along with the people and were so noble."

One day at noon, County Magistrate Lu went out for dinner and when he came back, he brought a pack of shark fins, saying it was Tanjia cuisine, and he hadn't moved much. You can eat it if you want it, and if you don't want it, keep it for me to eat it myself at night.

Shark fin? Where do you want to try this legendary luxury dish Tang Genshui and Liu Dacai? But in your mouth, they naturally say that it is better to leave it for County Mayor Lu to eat it for the evening.

Later, County Magistrate Lu should have seen their IL and Si, so he forced himself to divide the shark fins and put them in a thermal insulation box, which was still very warm.

The first time I ate shark fin, Tang Genshui and Liu Dacai enjoyed it with a pilgrimage, but after eating it, I felt that it didn’t seem like it was nothing, it was not as good as the stewed pork ribs.

But I think this is something that wealthy people eat. Only when they are tired of eating big fish and meat can they taste this thing.

But this experience of eating shark fin made Tang Genshui suddenly feel that his identity is extraordinary and he is a person who has seen big scenes.

As for Liu Dacai, he was vaguely in his heart, so he was afraid that he had the same thoughts.

So now when he saw Lu Zheng eating wontons, Tang Genshui suddenly said, "County Magistrate Lu eats shark fin belly."

Lu Zheng frowned, but said nothing.

Tang Genshui didn't dare to speak nonsense, and he understood one more rule of getting along with County Magistrate Lu, which was also his agility.

Liu Dacai quickly finished a bowl of wontons, looked at his watch, and said, "I'll go buy something and coax my girl."

Lu Zheng was slightly surprised and immediately saved. In such a small county town, if you go to Beijing, it would be a great thing for ordinary people. Although Liu Dacai is a state cadre, he has been to the capital for a very limited number of times. He wanted to promise his daughter to buy some delicious food and fun from Beijing. However, after the meeting these days, except for himself, Liu Dacai and Tang Genshui did not even have time to go shopping.

Lu Zheng said: "Well, I'm not kind anymore. I forgot that it would be easy for people from our hometown to go on a business trip to Beijing. If I had known that I wouldn't hurry back, just drive around Beijing."

Liu Dacai smiled and said, "How expensive are the things in Beijing? There is nothing to buy after transferring. When I came back from home, I always bought some things. There are some things in the township convenience store that I can't see in the county town. It's so easy to fool, just to be fresh."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "Okay, go, don't worry, choose slowly."

Not long after Liu Da left, two people came in outside the snack department. The young man who opened the snack department hurriedly greeted: "Oh, Chief Ning Township, Stationmaster Li, hurry up, I'll keep a good seat for you two here."

The thin Lenin man walking in front of him scolded, "Go, go, go, Xiao Sier, please don't come this! Do you know we're here? What seat should I leave?"

Xiaosi's young man was not angry either and laughed: "It seems that Webmaster Li is in a bad mood."

Hearing the words "Shou Township Mayor", Lu Zheng couldn't help but look at the two of them. The man in front of him was "Sitemaster Li". It seemed that the person behind him wearing a rustic green military uniform and blue sleeves had on his arms was Ning Township Mayor, to be precise, Deputy Township Mayor Ning.

Lu Zheng looked at the two of them a few times and withdrew his eyes. Tang Genshui was busy beside him and said in a low voice: "I have heard of this person, the old man from Xiji. The deputy township chief who Jia Peiming just mentioned after the accident was the same as me, and he didn't mention it for a few days."

Lu Zheng nodded, and had an impression that Tu Panshi mentioned it when he had just come to Xiji. He didn't know whether he attended the county-wide cadre conference he had held before. It seemed that he didn't know himself.

"Damn Guest Wang is not a guy!" Stationmaster Li suddenly slapped the table, then glanced at Lu Zheng's table, lowered his voice, and muttered to the village chief Ning.

Guest Wang? Lu Zheng was worried. Although the voices of the stationmaster Li and the townspeople Ning were extremely low, Lu Zheng had sharp ears and could hear them clearly.

"This bastard is really not a fucking thing. He smiles all day long, and stabs people in the back! All the cadres of the county party committee compound are all fucking the same thing!" Stationmaster Li gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Deputy Township Mayor Ning echoed next to him: "I've said it a long time ago. He is not a good bird. You must say that he is very proud and fooled."

"How could I know!" Webmaster Li cursed again.

Deputy Township Mayor Ning asked: "Old Fu of the Grain Bureau, don't you always admire you? The city model worker gave you the last year."

Webmaster Li said helplessly: "That was the past, don't you know that the county has changed? Now, Old Fu is eager to get in touch with Guest Wang. Now, Guest Wang stabbed him in the back, and Old Fu immediately changed his face with me and criticized me for the chaos in the management of the grain station. Look, maybe I will be removed."

Deputy Township Mayor Ning said Qi: "Guest Wang is so arrogant in the county?"

Stationmaster Li snorted coldly: "Who told him to have a good master? I found out after inquiring that in the county, it is not Secretary Ma who has the final say, but County Ma who has the final say now."

Deputy Township Mayor Ning was stunned for a while, "County Magistrate Lu has the final say? What's going on?" From ancient times to the present, I haven't heard that the county party secretary has no power as a county magistrate.

Stationmaster Li said: "Who knows, what is the surname of our Wushan Municipal Party Secretary?"

"The surname is Duan." said Deputy Township Mayor Ning.

Stationmaster Li said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Secretary Duan, Secretary Duan of the Municipal Party Committee, I heard that County Mayor Lu and Secretary Duan were in kinship."

Deputy Township Mayor Ning was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.

When Lu Zheng heard this, he laughed in his heart. Guest Wang had become a "smiling tiger" at the grassroots level? He had never noticed it before. It seemed that he was hiding deeply in front of him.

The stationmaster Li and Deputy Township Mayor Ning knew at a glance that they were the kind of hob meat in the village and the old fried dough sticks with mixed relationships, but they didn't want to be dealt with by Guest Wang.

Lu Zheng smiled, it seems that Guest Wang is OK.

"Have you heard enough?!" Lao Ning suddenly stared at Lu Zheng, and could see that Lu Zheng was listening to his two people's speeches, but he couldn't hear anything. It was just this gossip virtue l3L1 who caught fire.

Originally, I felt unhappy after being angry with Guest Wang these two days.

Seeing a small sesame mung bean official who dared to shout at the county magistrate, Tang Genshui's face changed. He was about to speak when Liu Da hurried in, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, which contained some snacks. He came and went in a hurry, so he could not let County Magistrate Lu wait for more.

After entering the snack department, Liu Dacai was stunned and shouted, "Lao Ning?"

The deputy township chief Ning had already stood up quickly, walked with Xiao for two steps, stretched out his hands to shake hands with Liu Dacai, "Oh, Director Liu, why did you get down? Didn't the telephone say hello in advance."

Webmaster Li also stood up and said with a smile: "Director Liu, you are down."

Liu Dacai had a reserved smile on his face, shook hands with Deputy Township Mayor Ning and Webmaster Li. He looked at Webmaster Li with a familiar face, but forgot who he was.

Deputy Township Mayor Ning introduced: "President Li from our West Grain Station."

Liu Dacai said ah and said, "I remember, Xiao Li, hello." He turned around and signaled, "I just came back from a meeting with County Mayor Lu. County Mayor Lu, have you seen it?!"

County Mayor Lu, Deputy Township Mayor Ning and Stationmaster Li both followed Liu Dacai's gaze, and immediately, he saw the young man that Lao Ning had just scolded was smiling at them.

Deputy Township Mayor Ning was stunned, but saw that Liu Dacai had already walked up to the young man and said in a very respectful tone: "County magistrate, these two are cadres from Xiji, Lao Ning, the deputy township chief in the township, and Xiao Li, the stationmaster of the grain station."

Deputy Township Mayor Ning's hope was immediately broken like a fat bubble. This is County Mayor Lu? I remembered that he scolded him harshly just now, and I didn't know whether County Mayor Lu heard that he and Stationmaster Li cursed the secretary in the village behind his back. Moreover, this secretary was sent by County Mayor Lu himself.

Thinking of this, Deputy County Magistrate Ning was sweating on his forehead and his calves were swelling. He wanted to take two steps and quickly explain something to County Magistrate Lu, but he felt like he had lead blocks tied to his legs and could not move his steps.

Webmaster Li was even more petrified and wanted to buy a piece of tofu and hit him to death. Isn’t this unlucky?

Lu Zheng smiled slightly: "Okay, no need to introduce it, I already know you." He said to Liu Dacai again: "Let's go, there's still a lot of things in the county."
