Okay, let’s call Governor Huang and ask. I thought in my heart.
In fact, I am still very hesitant because I don't want to disturb him too much when he is in Beijing. He is the executive deputy governor of our province and is not here to play in Beijing.
Then send a text message. I said to myself. Then I quickly edited a text message: Governor Huang, excuse me. Will the provincial finance of our project require us to charge for it in the future?
After thinking about it, I suddenly felt something was wrong: Am I not reminding him? So I hurriedly revised: Governor Huang, please give me some instructions. Our project will involve more than 20 universities, and those universities require fees. I
We are worried about our lack of funds. What do you think we should do?
It took a long time before he texted me back: We'll talk about it after the matter is finalized. You can follow the previous recruitment policy.
Sure enough, I thought to myself. A feeling of helplessness suddenly came to my heart. But I still texted him back: Thank you, Governor Huang! I understand.
I suddenly wanted to drink, because at this moment I realized that what I was doing did not seem to be as meaningful as I had imagined. At the same time, I deeply felt that what Zhuang Qing had done for me was not worth it. Moreover, at this moment, I felt that I
So despicable, so pitiful. Now, I once again feel the helplessness of being a person in the officialdom.
I called the old director and said, "Old director, just do what you said."
He asked me: "Have you already asked?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I am still too naive. Whatever, let's do it this way."
The old director comforted me and said: "Xiao Feng, you are a leader who came out of a university. You have not been engaged in administrative work for a long time. You will gradually get used to such things. Haha! In fact, I have never done this after working all my life.
I want to understand, but now that I have stepped back, I can see everything. Everyone is doing this now, and no one can be alone."
I suddenly felt lonely and said, "Old director, you are right."
He laughed "haha", "Xiao Feng, you are not in a good mood right now, are you? Let's go to a bar. It's in this hotel. Grandma's! Let's just spend the country's money together! What a waste of money?!"
I was very surprised: Why did the old director say dirty words? But I thought his words were really interesting. So I laughed, "Okay, let's go drink! Tonight we drink Maotai and eat seafood! Grandma's
!”
After calling Director Liang, the three of us headed towards the restaurant. However, I still felt that we should pay attention to the impact, "We'd better get a private room."
The old director looked at me and smiled, "You...okay."
We ordered a lot of dishes, and I ordered them. To be honest, I was a little annoyed. I ordered a lobster and abalone. Then there were other special dishes.
"Don't want Maotai? Wuliangye is fine. The Maotai here may not be real," the old director said.
I laughed and said, "Okay, then Wuliangye."
Director Liang asked me: "Director Feng, are you okay with your health now?"
I shook my head, "It's okay. At most, we can put up a screen here."
They both laughed.
After the drinks were poured for the three of us, I said to the old director: "Please say something and let's get started."
The old director said: "Just tell me, you are the current leader."
I said: "Tonight we are drinking as friends. You are the elder, so of course you should speak."
The old director suddenly laughed, "This generation is messy enough. Since I am the elder, why are we friends again? It doesn't matter, I said. We have been friends forever, right? Come on, let's raise a toast to our friendship this time.
On our trip to Beijing, we toast to the fact that we have finally accomplished this."
We all drank it with a smile. I said: "This Wuliangye just tastes like this. In fact, I have never understood how some people become addicted to drinking. How can this thing be so delicious?"
The old director glared at me, "You're not addicted, how do you know what it's like? If I don't drink, my hands will shake, I'll sweat, and I'll be irritable and restless. But after drinking, I feel better."
Only then did I realize that I had said the wrong thing, because the person in front of me was an alcoholic. I immediately apologized and said: "It seems that you are addicted to drinking, but you should drink less."
He sighed: "My whole life, apart from fishing, this is the only thing I like. A person's life spans just a few decades, so why bother yourself?"
I smiled and said, "That's true. Come on, let me toast you first."
Just after I drank this glass of wine, my phone rang. I looked at it and found that it was the area code of Beijing. I was a little surprised, so I hurriedly answered the call.
The voice that came from the phone was Mu Jiao's voice, "Uncle Feng, I'm in the lobby of the hotel where you live. I went to your room just now, why weren't you there?"
Why is she here? I couldn't help but smile bitterly. But in this situation, I felt it was hard to say anything because she didn't call me on her mobile phone, which in itself meant that she was worried that I wouldn't answer her call. In other words,
She had to see me. And if I reacted too fiercely, it would arouse the suspicion of the old director and Director Liang.
"We are eating, come on. You haven't eaten yet?" I said.
"Okay. I'm starving. Which room are you in?" she said happily.
I told her immediately. Then I said to the old director: "The daughter of one of my former colleagues is studying in the military academy in Beijing. This child was told not to come, but she is not obedient at all."
The old director smiled and said: "It seems that you are doing a good job as an uncle."
Director Liang had already asked the waiter to set out the dishes, but not the wine glasses. I didn’t say anything.
Mu Jiao arrived soon. As soon as she came in, she called me sweetly: "Uncle Feng."
In front of me, she is still wearing a military uniform, with picturesque features and a sweet smile.
I hurriedly asked her to sit down, and then introduced the old director and Director Liang to her, "Mujiao, this is Uncle Li, and this is Uncle Liang. Haha! Old director, shouldn't she call you grandpa?"
The old director laughed and said, "Just call me uncle, I like to be young."
Mu Jiao then shouted openly and sweetly: "Hello Uncle Li, Hello Uncle Liang."
I looked at her with a smile, "Let's eat. What else do you like to eat? Just ask the waiter to serve it to you."
She looked at the table and said, "There are so many dishes, we don't need them anymore. Uncle Feng, you are so corrupt."
The old director suddenly laughed.
I joked with her: "If you think we are corrupt, then just eat vegetarian food. Don't join us."
She pouted and said: "I won't do it. Then I will join you in corruption in advance. Wuliangye? Uncle Feng, I want to drink it too."
I hurriedly said to her: "You are still a student, what are you drinking?"
She said: "How boring are you three men drinking? Wouldn't it be better if I drank with you? Right, Uncle Li? As soon as I saw that you like to drink, how about I drink a few drinks with you?"
The old director said in surprise: "How do you know I like drinking?"
Mu Jiao smiled and said: "Your cheekbones are shiny, which is a sign of frequent drinking. My dad...my dad also has it on his face."
I suddenly became nervous, because both the old director and Director Liang knew her father. So I coughed hurriedly, "Mujiao, don't talk to adults like this."
The old director didn't suspect anything else. He suddenly laughed and said, "It's alcohol fat, isn't it?"
Mujiao picked up the wine glass and went to pay respect to the old director, "Uncle Li, I pay tribute to you."
The old director drank it happily. After Mujiao drank it, she kept waving her hand in front of her mouth, "This wine tastes so bad, I don't know why you like it so much? The food is so good, why does it have to be like this?
Something to come?”
The old director laughed and said, "Little girl, you don't know the joy of drinking. Some people describe it as fine wine. By the way, do you know who invented wine?"
Mu Jiao tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "It seems to be an ancient man named Du Kang, right?"
The old director nodded and said: "Yes. So do you know how he invented wine?"
Mu Jiao smiled and said, "I don't know. Uncle Li, please tell me. I like to listen to stories the most."
She looked completely innocent, and I couldn't help but feel funny in my heart, because I knew that she was mostly pretending to be like this. But I thought it was good for her to be like this, at least it made the atmosphere at our wine table a lot more lively.
.
The old director seemed to be aroused by her, and he said with a smile: "Okay, let me tell you. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Du Kang. He accidentally discovered the Qin army staying in a cave while fighting.
There was a pile of grain on which there was mountain water dripping on the grain. After a long time, it gave off a mellow aroma. He tasted it and it tasted really good. After returning home, he thought: If he could make this thing
How great? So he thought of many ways, but none of them succeeded. Suddenly one night he had a dream. He dreamed of an old man with a white beard who called himself Taibai Jinxing and said to him: Tomorrow you go to the road down the mountain.
, before Youshi, you need to get the blood of three people, one drop for each person is enough. You add these three drops of blood to your fermented grain, and you are done. The next day, he came to the foot of the mountain early in the morning and kept
Wait, when the sun rose, a scholar came. Du Kang explained to him the purpose of his visit. After hearing this, the scholar thought it was a good thing, so he donated a drop of blood. At noon, he waited for another warrior.
He then explained his purpose, and the warrior-looking man also donated a drop of blood. When the sun was about to set, a fool suddenly came. Now he was in trouble. He had no choice but to take a drop of blood from him.
Blood. After returning home, he added these three drops to the fermented grain. In this way, wine was created. He also thought, what to name it? He thought, the blood of the three people was in the You period.
I got it before, three dots plus unitary is the word for wine, and just like that, wine appeared. After a while, a friend came to Du Kang's house. He took out the wine for his friend to taste, and the two of them started to be polite like scholars.
, polite and gentle, after three drinks, he was as heroic as a samurai, but after drinking too much, he became as drunk as that idiot."
Mujiao couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Li, I'm not a child anymore, why are you telling me such a legend?"
Director Liang and I also found it funny.
The old director said: "Although this story is a legend, it is definitely not the case in history. In fact, how this wine was made and who invented it are not completely clear yet. Some people say it was Du Kang.
Some people say that people were inspired when they saw monkeys making wine, and others say that it was an unintentional discovery, just like the invention of penicillin. But my favorite is this story, because it tells us that drinking
When you are young, you must behave like a gentleman like a scholar, and you can be as heroic as a warrior, but you must not be drunk and immoral like a fool." (To be continued)
