Liu Yongshu was slightly proud of being recognized by Gu Cuiping. He immediately bowed to Zhang Wei, director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, and whispered a few words. Zhang Wei nodded slightly and said, "That's what you said."
Because Zhang Wei was sitting next to Minister Lu, he turned to Minister Lu again.
Minister Lu looked at Zhang Wei and said in Hangzhou dialect: "Are you sure of this? Don't drink more!" Zhang Wei looked at Liu Yongshu, who swore: "If you drink like this one by one, at least you won't drink more."
Everyone is drunk. I have some confidence." Zhang Wei turned to Minister Lu and said: "I think what Director Liu said is right. If the leaders accompanying Ning Gan each toasted us three glasses, everyone would definitely pour it.
.”
Minister Lu thought so and said, "Okay. I understand."
The second table followed the main table. Just now, the main table drank nine glasses of wine, and the second table also drank. At this time, Fang Ya's cheeks turned red and she became even more beautiful. She sat upright, but her left
Legs, she accidentally bumped into Xiao Zheng's legs under the table. Xiao Zheng didn't know whether she did it intentionally or not, but he felt a little itchy and fluctuating in his heart, so he had to work hard to restrain himself.
Jiang Xiaohui usually doesn't drink, but her hometown is in Ninggan, and she came back today in a good mood. In addition, she seems to have a natural ability to drink. After drinking nine cups of wine, she didn't feel anything bad, but her face was slightly red.
Ma Kai is a grown man, but after just nine cups, he is already quite drunk. He was worried that he would have no wine to drink before, but according to the rhythm just now, he has nine cups in one go. Ma Kai, who is on an empty stomach, is a little overwhelmed. He said
: "If this doesn't work, you have to eat something. Xiaohui, you are a local. Can you introduce to me the names of these local dishes? Which one is the best?"
Jiang Xiaohui looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed slightly, but said awkwardly: "Director Ma, to be honest, there are only two dishes here, and I can name them." Ma Kai said with a drunken smile:
"Which two dishes?" Jiang Xiaohui said: "One is the staple food 'Xihaitou Potato', and the other is the Ninggan roasted whole lamb, but I have never eaten it, and I have seen others eat it. I can't name the other dishes.
Sorry, Director Ma, I can't introduce it to you."
Ma Kai was surprised and said: "There are so many dishes, how can you only know two?" Jiang Xiaohui said shyly: "My family has no money and can't afford it." Ma Kai looked stunned. He also knew that Jiang Xiaohui was from Xihaitou.
The family is very poor, but they didn't expect that this table of Ninggan vegetables only had potatoes! Ma Kai was about to grab a piece of roasted whole lamb and stuff it to Jiang Xiaohui.
But a young female deputy director at the same table said: "Director Jiang, are you exaggerating? You have only eaten potatoes on this table? Then I am afraid you are not an authentic Ninggan person!"
"The female deputy director of the Provincial Department of Construction is called He Xue. She is from Hangzhou. Like Jiang Xiaohui, she was born around the 1980s. She grew up under the spring breeze of reform. She can be regarded as a
She had no worries about food and clothing. She didn't believe that Jiang Xiaohui's family could be so miserable!
So He Xue thought that Jiang Xiaohui was deliberately "selling bitterness" and said that she had only eaten potatoes. But Jiang Xiaohui said: "Where to grow up? In fact, most of our authentic Ninggan people and authentic Xihaitou children grow up.
You know the food on this table." He Xue sneered and said, "Really?"
At this time, Wang Landao, the deputy director of the reception office, said: "Where does it grow? Director Jiang is right. Many of our children in Ninggan and Xihaitou grew up eating potatoes. Not many of us can taste the food on the table."
I understand. I also grew up in Xihaitou, and later I had the opportunity to pass the exam. But when I was young, I was afraid of poverty. I am very good at eating and drinking, so the organization asked me to work in the reception office. I also cherish this position because of this
I don’t have to worry about having enough to eat at my post.”
Deputy Director Wang Lan's words contained a sense of self-importance. Xiao Zheng had been silently practicing the guessing rules such as "Two Xixi, Four Pedestals, Lian, Ma Tie, and Ten Full Duan". When he heard Wang Lan say this,
He couldn't help but look up at the female deputy director of the reception office. On the bus before, he heard that she could sing a beautiful song "Qingpingle. Panshan". He thought she was from a musical family, but he didn't expect that she was also from a poor rural area.
!So, when you look at people, you really can’t just look at their appearance.
Wang Lan had already testified for Jiang Xiaohui, and He Xue didn't say much. But she still felt that Wang Lan and Jiang Xiaohui were exaggerating.
Wang Lan was very good at observing people's words. To resolve the embarrassment, she said: "Dear Jiang leaders, let me introduce to you today's Ninggan dishes. The first dish is Ninggan roasted whole lamb, which is used by Ninggan people to receive distinguished guests.
, is also one of our top ten classic dishes in Ninggan. Ninggan roasted whole lamb is a famous dish that is most suitable for winter, nourishing and delicious. The second dish is hen's saliva chicken, which is made from local hens.
"
Wang Lan also introduced other classic dishes such as braised haggis, braised Yellow River catfish, stir-fried lamb, clove hoof, Shahu big head fish, ginger waist column, etc. She spoke clearly and introduced very vividly and concretely, which made her
People's mouths are watering after hearing this. What's more, there is a table of dishes in front of them and they can be eaten immediately.
Ma Kai put a piece of hand-caught mutton on Jiang Xiaohui's plate, and gave Jiang Xiaohui a large piece of big-headed fish, saying: "I didn't eat it when I was a child. It's a good meal today." But Jiang Xiaohui just
Looking at it without eating, she said: "People in our village still don't have such good food once a year." Maybe Jiang Xiaohui thought of her family and the people in the village, and she was enjoying it here.
, there is a burden on my heart.
Ma Kai didn't know how to persuade Jiang Xiaohui. The atmosphere among everyone was a bit heavy.
Xiao Zheng looked at everyone, and then said: "We can't just drink, and we can't waste so much food. Ninggan people are hospitable, and we are guests from the river. The people of Ninggan must also hope that we can eat and drink well. Since the food
If we make it, we will eat it, and don’t waste our efforts in Ninggan. It doesn’t matter if we eat well here today, as long as we really do a good job in poverty alleviation in the future, lead the people of Ninggan and Gansu to eat well, and let Xihai head
The people and their children can eat mutton and big head fish every day. Aren’t we repaying the enthusiasm of the people in Ninggan?"
With that said, Xiao Zheng grabbed the roast lamb on the table, put it into his mouth, and chewed it. The fat and tender roast lamb, sprinkled with cumin, was chewy and the meat was full of flavor.
After what Xiao Zheng said, the heavy atmosphere at the table relaxed. Ma Kai said with a smile: "What County Magistrate Xiao said makes sense. We can't waste it. If we don't eat Ninggan's delicacies, we will let down Ninggan's enthusiasm."
, let’s eat together.”
Wang Landao, deputy director of the reception office: "Yes, yes, yes, let's all try our Ninggan delicacies. We Ninggan people are very hospitable and very thrifty. As long as everyone puts the table into their stomachs, there will be no waste. We
I'm so happy!" Wang Lan glanced at Xiao Zheng again and felt that this deputy county magistrate, who held a low position, spoke very reasonably and could do everyone's work and smooth out everyone's emotions from a different perspective. He was a good person.
A person with strong expressive skills.
Even He Xue, the deputy director of the Jiang Provincial Department of Construction, couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zheng, his eyes seemed to have a hint of appreciation. He Xue, the female deputy director, is a local girl from Hangzhou, and her family is also a little bit in the provincial capital.
As for the relationship, she is already a female cadre at the deputy director level. Therefore, both He Xue and her parents have standards when it comes to choosing a spouse for He Xue.
He Xue has also reached the age of marriage, and her parents are already helping to find them. He Xue has no shortage of suitors, let alone blind dates. But so far, she has not met the right one, and her parents also adhere to the principle of
He sets the standard rather than being in a hurry, and sets his goals relatively high. Boys who are below this standard will not be able to stand in the eyes of He Xue and his parents.
He Xue didn't notice Xiao Zheng before. Because Xiao Zheng kept his head down after he arrived at the table, and He Xue couldn't see his face clearly. In fact, Xiao Zheng kept his head down, mumbling something, and moving his fingers.
Go and study Ning Gan's guessing rules.
But Xiao Zheng's words just now were very sensible, and especially made the atmosphere on the table change from heavy to relaxed. It can be seen that this person has a high emotional intelligence, and he is already the deputy county magistrate at this age.
It's not easy, which shows that he must have a background. Moreover, Xiao Zheng's appearance is also very good, handsome and masculine, which is also the type that He Xue is more likely to accept.
Because of this, He Xue couldn't help but look at Xiao Zheng one more time.
Xiao Zheng didn't pay attention to He Xue's gaze. He finished eating the mutton and started to eat the haggis. He had been on a plane for a day today and didn't eat well all the way. Xiao Zheng was indeed a little hungry, and he had just eaten again.
After drinking nine small cups of wine, Xiao Zheng's appetite was whetted, so he ate very enthusiastically. He also took a sip of wine by himself from time to time.
He Xue couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiao Zheng eating so freely. Most of the men she met in the provincial department were well-behaved. Some men were more relaxed after drinking, but they were just drinking.
Catharsis and Xiao Zheng's unrestrained expression are two different concepts. He Xue watched Xiao Zheng eat, and her appetite increased greatly. She also grabbed a piece of mutton and handed it to Jiang Xiaohui next to her: "
Director Jiang, I was sorry just now, I didn’t know you were so miserable when you were a child. Now I think it’s true, let’s eat mutton together.”
Jiang Xiaohui was surprised that He Xue, a woman who was a bit against her before, suddenly became polite to her now? Jiang Xiaohui never thought that He Xue's friendliness was related to Xiao Zheng. If a woman meets the person she likes, her whole life will be different.
People will be happy from the inside out, and they will be more kind to others.
Jiang Xiaohui took the mutton from He Xue and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Chang." After all, they were from the same inspection team, and a good relationship was always more comfortable than a bad relationship, so Jiang Xiaohui accepted He Xue's kindness.
At this time, Sun Ming, deputy secretary of Ning Gan at the main table, said: "Dear leaders and friends here, our leaders of Jiang Province have just come up with a very good idea. Each of our two teams will send several
Representatives came out to play a guessing game. Guessing is popular among the people in Ningzhou. Leader Jiang proposed this game. It is actually a concrete manifestation of 'do as the Romans do when you are in the country', and we in Ningzhou naturally applauded it with both hands."
