After many days, Li Tai returned to Xingtai to go to work. The entire Mocao army, starting from Xue Shen's surrender, all went out to greet him.
"Did you know that I brought some delicacies when I returned to the Yamen today? Such thoughtful etiquette makes people feel flattered!"
Seeing this fight, Li Tai couldn't help but laugh and said.
"There are many people working in the Taiwanese government, but there are not many people like Li Lang who can turn their regular jobs into rare guests. It is inevitable that everyone will miss him, so we are going to wait and see!"
Xue Shen stepped forward, patted Li Tai on the shoulder and sighed.
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. He had already taken up an official position in Pixingtai in late April. He worked for two days and was away from the office for one day, so he began to ask for leave.
He came intermittently for a few more days, and then took personal leave and sick leave. Now it was the beginning of July. Counting the days he worked at Xingtai, he didn't even have a full ten days.
"Why isn't Pei Canjun here? Doesn't he miss me at all?"
Li Tai looked at the crowd and couldn't help but ask.
"The morning meeting at the Tai Mansion has not ended yet, and Pei Zhongxiao still hasn't returned! Li Boshan has the audacity to ask this, you went to Daxing Tai to plan and divide things, and everyone has their own affairs. Nowadays, everything is very busy, but you have stolen some leisure!"
Speaking of this, Xue Shen couldn't help but raise his arm and slap Li Tai heavily on the shoulder.
Li Tai quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young man is short-sighted, Xue Canjun, don't make false accusations against me! Daxing's plans are clear, how can I be stupid and weak to teach him?"
They exchanged pleasantries in front of the official office. After entering the office, Xue Shen couldn't help but look outside and asked, "Where are the delicacies that Boshan brought?"
Li Tai raised his hand and shook the two small carved bamboo tubes he had been carrying: "Didn't Xue Canjun see him?"
"What kind of delicacy is this? How many people can it feed?"
Xue Shen immediately looked disdainful when he saw this, then he came over and took out a bamboo tube and said: "While there are not many people, I will have a taste first."
As he spoke, he pulled out the stopper of the bamboo tube and shook it slightly. He saw that it was only half full of clear liquid. Before he could taunt him, a strong fragrance overflowed from the bamboo tube and hit his face.
"This taste, this taste is so familiar. I remember it. I remember that my family bought Sophora japonica crispbread at the market a few days ago, and it tasted exactly like this! The shortbread was soft and delicious, and the fragrance lingered on my teeth and cheeks for a long time! I will buy it again.
, but disappeared.”
Xue Shen held the tube of liquid and murmured to himself while thinking about it.
"If I am surprised, the shortbread must have been made by people from my village. If Xue Canjun is addicted to this taste and comes to my village as a guest in the future, I will naturally let him serve it."
Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the bamboo tube plug back. This small tube of Sophora japonica essential oil looked inconspicuous, but it was obtained by soaking, separating and distilling Sophora japonica flowers from the hillside. It cost a lot of work and materials, and I really couldn't bear to part with it.
Evaporation and waste.
"I have been looking for it recently, but I didn't expect it to be produced at Li Langzhuang! Who knows how to make shortbread cakes? I even asked my family to add sophora flowers, but the flavor is still lacking. It turns out that this oil and water are used.
become!"
After Xue Shen heard this, he suddenly realized. He took the bamboo tube back and held it in his arms: "This tube of oil and water can make several kilograms of pasta. Since no one else has tasted it, there is no need to worry about it, so let me take it home and use it."
stop!"
After hearing this, Li Tai burst out laughing. He picked up another bamboo tube and dropped a drop of essential oil into the small half bowl of buttermilk on Xue Shen's desk and stirred it briefly. The buttermilk, which had a slightly sour smell, suddenly became fragrant.
Xue Shen's expression became even more strange when he saw this. He held the buttermilk and sipped it repeatedly. After a while, he stared and said, "What kind of wonderful thing is this oil and water? Just one drop has such a fragrance?"
Li Tai also became happy when he saw him like this. He had a lot of property in his farm, but the most popular products were daily chemicals such as soaps and food additives such as flavors. Sure enough, manners and diet are the most important things in any era.
"These two bottles of sesame oil are to add flavor to the meals of the people in the department. If Xue Canjun loves it deeply and comes to my village as a guest, he will give it to himself!"
Xue Shen coveted these essences, but Li Tai coveted his family's military industry. Taking advantage of the considerable surplus in the middle of the year, he planned to arm his troops.
Although Yu Wentai did not prohibit his subordinates from developing their own armies, it was still strange to discuss this matter in the Bafu, so he wanted to take some time to invite Xue Shen to his village to discuss it.
"Today, not today, there are two dramas and three important parts, all of which need to be completed in these few days. Let's wait until the middle of the month. Will you come to Taifu in the middle of the month? Let's go to your village together!"
Xue Shen's own time is easy to arrange, but he is afraid that Li Tai will suddenly disappear again.
"It should be fine, I'll try my best to come!"
When Li Tai heard this, he felt very embarrassed. It was only a problem for others to go to work, but he had to be fine before he could come to work.
While they were talking, Pei Han, who had gone to a meeting, came back and saw Li Tai sitting in the hall. He immediately glared and pointed at him several times, which showed his strong resentment. He even said: "Bo Shan has a very discerning mind. Should I wait for mediocrity?"
Unable to work together? I haven’t seen you for many days. This morning Daxingtai asked the envoy to visit the countryside, so you came!"
When Li Tai heard this, he stood up quickly and apologized again. Pei Han was not really angry, he just waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, go quickly! I can leave you a formal record. I have seen Daxing
Come back to work quickly after the stage. If you want to escape again, will it take one meal?"
Look at what you said, how come I have become a habitual offender of fishing? I am a model of anti-fishing personally praised by Daxingtai!
Li Tai complained in his heart, strode out of the government office, and headed straight to the main hall of Daxingtai.
There were several people waiting outside the main hall. After Li Tai arrived, many people looked at him a few times. Li Tai always felt that those eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow and resentment, so he stood at the back of the line with his head bowed.
Not long after he stood here, someone patted him on the back. When he turned around, he saw that it was Su Chuo. His face was thinner and the bags under his eyes were even bigger.
"You're back? Sorry, take care, and come to the hall with me."
Su Chuo didn't say anything nonsense, raised his chin, motioned for Li Tai to follow him, and then strode towards the straight hall.
In the main hall, Yu Wentai sat at the table and discussed current affairs with Su Chuo first. Then his eyes turned to Li Tai who was standing aside. He looked at him for a few times and then said: "When we are young, how can we allow unnecessary emotions to disturb things?"
!Just this once, not next time."
The leader is so busy and still remembers the small thing of asking for leave to recuperate. This must be touched no matter what.
But when Li Tai faced Yu Wentai, he felt a little solemn in his heart. After hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, next time I am so sad, I may have to give it to you.
He first apologized and thanked him, and then Yuwen Taicai said: "The previous plan has been passed. The Taiwan government has been implementing it for several days, and it has shown great success. Li Boshan first proposed this plan, and it is true that hard work should be rewarded, but one should not be rewarded twice. This is
I will call you every day to take charge of the recording office. If you are able, please do more work. Record your words in the hall, observe current events, and provide direct suggestions!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to an empty seat at the side of the hall, motioning for Li Tai to sit there, and started working immediately.
I've been promoted again? It's a bit casual, right?
Li Tai stood there stunned for a moment. He saw Cui Yanmu sitting on the table on the other side waving to him. Then he entered the empty seat and sat down with some uncertainty. He lowered his head and saw that the pen, ink and paper had been sorted out, but he didn't know what to do.
Write what.
He was still confused here, when he heard a noise next to him, turned around and saw Cui Yanmu passing a rolled up piece of paper to someone at the other table.
He quickly took the scroll and unfolded it to read, only then did he understand the meaning of his appointment.
Whenever entering or leaving Daxingtai, there must be a secretary who records events and writes orders. In addition to the four secretaries who join the army, there are also often a secretary who joins the army or a subordinate who also heads the secretary's office, which is the secretarial team of the big leader.
, has the qualification to enter the Shenba Mansion's secrets.
After learning this, Li Tai was in a great mood. After fooling around for more than a year, he finally became the secretary of Daxingtai. Of course, he had to behave seriously. In addition to scolding Zhao Gui, I have fun scolding others. Do you want to scold me first?
Big Brother He Liuhun needs to submit a petition?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed. The noise was quite big and attracted a few people on the left and right to look around. Even Yu Wentai, who was crouching at his desk for grading, looked up at him and raised his hand to call the waiter to point at him.
Not long after, the waiter came from behind and placed a cup of steaming turbid soup on his desk. Seeing this, other people in the hall looked at Li Tai with different eyes.
This feeling of being cared for and cared for was so good that Li Tai's nose was so moved for a moment that he almost sneezed again. He finally suppressed his anger and drank the soup in one gulp.
Lu, I am the Chollima of Daxingtai!
It took him a while to realize that Mo Cao and those two guys thought he was slipping into trouble again and were saying bad things about him behind his back!
The pace of office work in Taifu is really fast. Not long after Li Tai went to work, Yu Wentai met with several people in succession. They discussed matters ranging from minor to major, and issued more than a dozen orders, large and small.
Li Tai had just gone to work and was not assigned the responsibility of drafting a written order. However, he wrote tens of thousands of words without even realizing it while recording things in the hall, leaving him almost no time to spare. Although his arms were so tired, he still felt so tired in that kind of machine.
Despite the excitement, I was also very motivated.
This excitement lasted until a special person was called to the stage, that was Zhao Gui.
Zhao Gui, dressed in a military robe, strode up to the hall to pay homage to Daxingtai and was given a seat at the side. He did not immediately notice Li Tai in the opposite seat, who was bowing his head in front of the case.
"There are frequent diarrheal diseases in the river defense camps. Is it a current epidemic or something else?"
After Zhao Gui sat down, Yu Wentai held a military intelligence document in his hand and asked.
When Zhao Gui heard this, he looked a little unnatural and lowered his head and said: "General Mo also went to the camp to check before he returned. It was not a disease caused by the epidemic, but unclean food. Any illness that occurs in the camp is attributed to Mo Jiang."
.We rushed to make grain cakes last winter, but improperly collected and stored them after spring warmed up, which resulted in the growth of mold..."
Li Taizheng was immersed in recording. When he heard Zhao Gui's words, he couldn't help but put down his left hand and pinched the inner thigh, and then reluctantly recorded the matter.
As he paused, he realized that the atmosphere in the hall was too quiet. When he looked up, he saw Yuwentai looking at him, and Zhao Gui also followed Yuwentai's gaze and looked surprised as if he had seen a ghost.
