Chapter 87: Tongue-sparkling lotus flower is the lord's romantic cherry blossom
"Good tea, really good tea. The tea soup is clear and bright, and the taste is sweet. Once you take a cup of it, your teeth will be filled with fragrance. After drinking it, drinking it!"
Taking another sip, Zhao Gang sighed deeply as he touched the case, as if after recollection. It was obvious that these words came from the sincerity and were not the casual flattery of the past.
If in the past, Xue Laosan had already said that he could take some if he liked it, but this time, he just bit his tongue and did not speak. Zhao Gang obviously did not come here intentionally to ask for trouble. With a sigh, he said that he was here this time.
It turned out that he was here to invite Xue Xiang to a banquet.
"Director Xue, I'm always embarrassed to drink tea at your place. Let's do this. I'll cook for you at noon. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to drink the tea again!"
Zhao Gang spoke sternly and made a solemn gesture, obviously trying to force him to invite him to the meal.
Nowadays, his view of Director Xue is very different. At first, he regarded this young talent as a promising young man and tried to win over him. Since then, he was entrusted by someone to let Director Xue
When Cao Gongzi and others were rejected with caution, his heart became cold. It was not because he was rejected, but because he believed that Director Xue would definitely defeat himself. A strong dragon could really defeat local snakes, and he didn't even look at Cao Zhenyang's gang.
Who are you poking in the back?
But the final result shocked Director Zhao and almost blinded him. Mr. Cao and others refused to say anything. Comrade Xue Xiang was still in the position of director of the inspection room, as stable as Mount Tai.
Director You, who was so red in the sky and was about to ascend to heaven, fell from the sky and was shattered to pieces.
Such a paradoxical ending naturally made Director Zhao, an outsider, think deeply. The result of his deep thinking was naturally that he concluded that Director Xue was not just someone with some background behind him, but that there was probably a towering mountain standing behind him.
As a result, Director Zhao naturally changed his mind again and eagerly posted again.
Although Xue Laosan could not understand Director Zhao's psychological activities. But during the two days when Director You was prosperous, he obviously stopped visiting. Naturally, he was somewhat aware of Director Zhao's thoughts.
However, Xue Laosan would not simply draw a clear line with the person surnamed Zhao because of this. After all, it is the most normal thing to have a red-topped white man in the officialdom. The person surnamed Zhao is close to him, and it is not because his surname is Xue
She is a charming and charming beauty, and it's not just because of the chair under her butt. It is absolutely impossible to get involved in official circles without this kind of broad-mindedness and insight.
Xue Xiangdao: "Director Zhao, it's not that I don't want to give you face, it's actually that I have decided to go out at noon today and have an appointment with the old iron from the city bureau for a get-together!"
Zhao Gang slapped his thigh and said, "That's all. It doesn't matter. It's just two tables on one table. I think it's too boring for two people to eat together!"
While talking, Zhao Gang walked to Xue Xiang's desk and picked up the phone. He was an upright old man from the Municipal Party Committee Office. He had all the phone numbers of the leaders of the city's core units in his belly. After a while,
Tie Jin's phone call is about to go through.
Zhao Gang was very skillful in speaking, and he would never say anything. He wanted to invite Director Xue, because Director Xue wanted to invite him, Director Iron, so two tables were put together. He grinned and said that he would have lunch with Director Iron at noon.
, asked Tie Jin if he was accurate, which shortened the distance and made people unable to refuse the words, and easily captured Tie Jin.
After hanging up the phone to Tie Jin, Zhao Gang chuckled and said, "Director Xue, it's time to eat after all, why don't you call Lao Niu and Lao Qiu over? They both said they've always wanted to meet you!"
Lao Niu refers to Niu Fenjin, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Wude District, where the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee is located; Lao Qiu refers to Qiu Tiandu, the director of the Wude District Education Bureau. The former, when helping the little guy go through the household registration procedures, Xue Xiang owed him a personal favor
; The latter, on the day when the little guy entered school, Director Qiu made him run up and down and give him a lot of trouble.
Xue Xiang has never met these two people, but they have contacted him on the phone several times, and they all came to invite him to dinner. They must have been friends with each other for a long time.
Anyway, it was official entertainment. Zhao Gang wanted to deliberately form a small circle.
Having a small circle is not a bad thing after all.
At this time, after hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, there was no reason why he should not respond.
As soon as Zhao Gang called and Fang explained his reasons, he heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from the other end of the phone.
The luncheon was still held in the hot pot restaurant Tie Jin mentioned before. The hot pot restaurant is branded as the best in Sichuan. The lobby of the store is not big, but it has many private rooms and the decoration is quite ancient.
Meaning neat.
Xue Xiang and Zhao Gang were the hosts of the appointment bureau, so they naturally went first. Of course, before going, Mr. Xue was not allowed to call Principal Huang who was raising the seedlings.
It was only half past ten when the two of them arrived. Anyway, for department heads like them, they can almost control their own time when commuting to and from get off work.
When he arrived at the place, Xue Xiang chose a secluded private room. The interior decoration was extremely simple. It was just a yellow pear wood table with a hole in the middle. Under the hole was a coal stove with a closed air door, and four chairs were placed around it.
There is nothing left in the spacious house.
Perhaps he could tell that Xue Xiang and his two men had a special background. After the waiter ushered them in, the fat boss in a suit also followed him. While offering Xue Xiang and his two cigarettes, he introduced the characteristics of his hotpot restaurant, especially
It is the legendary beef bone soup that has been passed down since the Tongzhi period and has never been extinguished until now. In the mouth of the fat boss, it is something rare in the sky and unique on the earth.
Director Zhao was really frightened. He asked the fat boss about everything. Apparently, he believed the fat boss's lies.
However, Xue Xiang came from a later generation and knew what business promotion means were. How could he believe it? If he said anything else, Xue Laosan would be frightened, but with this hundred-year soup, you will know how nonsense it is if you think about it.
Not to mention anything else, from the time of Tongzhi to the present, more than a hundred years of history, I wish that in the previous eighty years, the vast land of China was full of wars, no matter how determined it was to preserve it and pass it down from generation to generation, this pot of soup would never be able to continue to be popular.
, not to mention the 1960s and 1970s,
During those hottest years, anyone who dared to cook a pot of soup like this would have been criticized to death. Not to mention anything else, just being extravagant is enough to be considered a crime. Let’s also consider the hundreds of years spent on this pot of soup.
Of firewood and ingredients, who would dare to keep such things?
When Zhao Gang was being talked about by the fat boss, the door was pushed open and the waiter walked in first. Soon, three middle-aged people came in one after another. It was Tie Jin, Niu Fenjin and Qiu Tiandu.
people.
When people get together, it is natural that they rarely talk about official etiquette. Especially when Xue Xiang, Niu Fenjin and Qiu Tiandu meet each other for the first time, they rarely flatter each other.
Just like that, Director Xue, Director Niu, and Director Qiu were all polite, and the fat boss immediately changed his face. At this moment, he didn’t know the identities of the people in front of him, so he was so panicked that he quickly resigned. Soon, they all knew him.
The waiters formed a team to enter, and the fat boss came in again.
“Dear leaders, fellow leaders, I didn’t know that all the leaders were coming here, so I apologize for the delay. This is the first week of opening of our store. All leaders are also blessed.
Just happened to be the 100th customer of our shop this week, according to this book
The store's previous activities stipulated that the 100th lucky customer will receive special treatment from the store and enjoy the store's highest standard treatment for free once, and will also enjoy a 50% discount when visiting the store in the future. Leaders also ask
Let me change my store to something new!"
As soon as the fat boss said this, everyone's eyes lit up. Everyone was discerning and had a bright mind. Naturally, they would not really think that they were so lucky. However, the benefits brought to their door should not be wasted. After all, at this moment,
We are still in the initial stage of realizing power. In future generations, Fat Boss's tactics will definitely not work. If not, he will have to be scolded harshly to make the leaders show their integrity.
The square pineapple table was replaced by a large round sandalwood table carved with dragons and phoenixes. The coal stove was also replaced by an octagonal coke stove.
A huge 30-centimeter copper basin was brought up. The milky white broth swayed in ripples, and honey appeared from time to time.
Dates, red peppers, wolfberries and other aniseed ingredients were placed in the copper basin, and all kinds of exquisite trays fell in a circle around the copper basin. There were eight servings of various kinds of meat slices as thin as cicada wings.
In addition to the usual mutton, pork and other livestock, there are also various kinds of sea fish, as well as a lot of vegetables, mushrooms, Hericium and other wild delicacies in the mountains.
Taking advantage of the time when the food was being placed on the table, the fat boss started to flirt again and said, "Boss, I will tell you the truth. I have been claiming to the outside world that our shop's soup stock has been a source of fire for hundreds of years. I have indeed retracted my lies.
I believe that all the leaders are well-informed and sharp-eyed. With this little trick of mine, I will
Although I can't hide it from you, I, Fatty Song, can guarantee with my head that the pot of soup on the table is the original soup that has been stewed for six years. In fact, my ancestor was the imperial chef who cooked the broth for the palace.
The pot soup was also passed down to 1949, which lasted for 63 years. In the end, it was still not available.
Even though it was saved, my great-grandfather also died in depression because of this pot of soup. Although this pot of soup is only six years old, I can guarantee that this is definitely the most mellow pot of soup in China. To be honest, you are constantly striving for the ingredients for this pot of soup.
In the early years, our whole family would go together to have dinner together. Nowadays, the country’s
The policy has been improved and liberalized, and I have lived a good life relying on this pot of soup. They say that when you are hungry, you should never forget the person who dug the well. We can’t thank the country, but just thank a few people’s public servants. This pot of original soup will be my
It is dedicated to you, please accept it on behalf of the country, so that I can feel at ease a little bit."
After speaking, the fat boss quickly ran out the door without waiting for anyone to reply.
Xue Laosan and others stared at this pot of legendary soup for a long time without saying a word. Suddenly, Zhao Gang slapped his thigh and sighed: "If this guy doesn't get rich, who will get rich? It's so sweet. I was deceived by this guy first, but now
After hearing what they said, I didn’t feel the slightest bit angry at all.”
Director Niu smiled and said: "It's a good thing that this guy is not an official. If he were an official, there would be no role for us. Listen, I'm confused. Looking back, I have to ask this guy if he has graduated from high school. If so,
After graduating from high school, I really have to recruit him to our bureau. If he doesn't do anything else, he will be responsible for public relations."
ps: I would like to thank my book friend Romantic Sakura for turning the book twice and becoming the second leader of Guandao. Thank you even more. I wish you smooth work and all the best!
