Chapter 185: Hungry comes to eat and sleepy comes to sleep
Yong Ganping patted his head and said: "Oh! Really, why did you forget to eat? This is my subordinate's mistake. I will rush to serve the meal."
After speaking, Yong Ganping turned around and walked out of the door.
"An ancient saying goes: 'When you are hungry, you eat, you are tired, you sleep, and you have no thoughts all day long, you are a living god.'"
After we deal with these things at the moment, we will give everyone a good vacation, whether it is family happiness or fun, in short, forget about those bad things.
From now on, I will do my job well. Under the leadership of the General Guard, we will make the best use of people and materials, and develop harmoniously.
Do you think this is true?"
Yong Shijing's words simply touched the hearts of Xie Shizhen and others, making people feel cordial and warm after listening to them.
Zeng Bin felt his nose was a little sore, sighed and said: "My ancestors have been subordinate officers of the 'Yongwang Guard' since the third year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty. They have accumulated many military exploits and have loyally followed the chief guard to this day.
If it hadn't been for the subordinates' ulterior motives in protecting the official position, the people who rebelled against the Ministry of Health would not have been able to take advantage of it. The subordinates really regretted this.
The only thing that makes my subordinates feel happy now is that you are the special envoy in charge of the overall situation. It is really a blessing for the Ministry of Health.
Otherwise, the subordinates will be the first sinners who put the Ministry of Health in a state of eternal disaster. How will they see their ancestors in the future?
Special envoy, I can't understand why people with evil intentions would betray their faith and forget their ancestors just to get property that does not belong to them.
Don’t they know that the assets of the Ministry of Health now begin with the General Guard, no matter how big or small they are, they all belong to the General Guard, and even everyone is a subordinate of the General Guard?
If these people are allowed to take advantage of the situation and have their way, they will be forgetting their roots and violating their moral principles, which is unacceptable."
Xie Shizhen also felt the same and said frankly: "Since ancient times, it has been said that 'a gentleman embraces benevolence and righteousness and is not afraid of the heaven and earth's defeat.' Only benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and trustworthiness can be established in the world."
Lao Zeng, you and I both agree that we despise being associated with people who have no regard for shame.
It's better to let these people with two minds come out now, so that the dust can be drained away and the essence can be retained."
They were in high spirits and talked lively.
On the contrary, Qin Siming, who was sitting aside, seemed to be thinking about something and did not answer the question and participate in the discussion between the two of them.
Yong Shijing listened with great appreciation to Zeng Bin and Xie Shizhen's words.
He looked at the waiters walking by in the yard outside the door from time to time, as if they had finished their meal, and said: "You have this awareness, compared to what happened today, this is the biggest gain for the general guard.
It is easy to get a thousand armies, but it is hard to find a general. You are the pillars of the Ministry of Health and the backbone of the General Guard. As long as you stick to the bottom line in your heart with the belief that "the benevolent will not change the situation with prosperity and decline, and the righteous will not change the heart with life and death", there is no need to worry about the failure of the Ministry of Health.
What about development and growth?”
Yong Shijing's affirmative words gave Xie Shizhen and Zeng Bin great encouragement, and Qin Siming was also deeply touched after hearing this.
Finally, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and two cooks followed Yong Ganping and Quan Lin into the conference room carrying food, bowls and chopsticks.
The two cooks worked together to serve the meals to the officers in the room. Quan Lin took out a pair of silver chopsticks and gently turned the first portion of the food.
While flipping the dishes on the plate, Quan Lin said to Xie Shizhen and the others: "Dear officials, these are silver chopsticks for testing poisons. They are never used for personal use. Please rest assured, hygiene is absolutely guaranteed.
Of course, I do this to ensure safety, I hope you can understand.
This is an extraordinary period, so you should use extraordinary methods and don’t think too much and cause trouble.”
Listening to Quanlin's explanation, everyone present expressed their understanding.
Xie Shizhen looked at Quanlin's operation and said with a smile: "That's great! This makes you feel at ease. It's always good to be more careful."
Zeng Bin looked on and nodded frequently, thinking that using silver chopsticks to test for poison was a good method, and thought that when he went back, he would have someone make a pair for him to use.
Among them, only Qin Siming didn't have any special reaction. He probably came from an intelligence background and was used to this method.
Lunch consisted of one meat and two vegetables plus a bowl of rice. The first meal was served by Yong Ganping to Qin Siming, who was near the door.
Qin Siming understood the rules very well and did not refuse. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and started eating with his head down.
The second meal was given to Zeng Bin, the third meal was given to Xie Shizhen, and the fourth and fifth meals were given to Yong Ganping and Quan Lin respectively.
Under Quan Lin's special instructions, the cook changed the last meal to one meat and one vegetarian with rice. After Quan Lin tested it to be non-toxic, he served it directly to Yong Shijing.
There was a basin of soup on the conference table that was not filled with water. It was covered with a porcelain lid and set aside temporarily.
After finishing serving the food and serving the dishes, one of the two cooks went back to the kitchen first, while the other stayed in the conference room to take care of the senior officials' meals.
The chopsticks Yong Shijing used to eat were specially issued silver chopsticks, which were the same as those distributed by Yong Ming to Xie Liuyun and the others, except that the patterns on the chopsticks were different.
Yong Shijing's chopsticks are engraved with "Qiu branch, dragon and cypress pattern" on the head of the chopsticks, which is the totem pattern of the Yong family.
There are two chopsticks, one is engraved with the word "Shi" and the other is engraved with the word "Jing", indicating that these are Yong Shijing's exclusive silver chopsticks.
The personal belongings of the middle-level managers and above in "Yongran Hall" are all distributed by the headquarters.
Each item is marked with its name. This is not only to highlight its identity, but also to prove its identity to some extent.
Such personal items mainly include small and delicate things such as business card holders, personal dining utensils, protective gear and rings.
Mainly based on different positions, job titles, years of service, clan affiliation, and merit levels, the headquarters will make them according to unified standards and with Yong Ming's approval, and then distribute them to the corresponding personnel.
According to Yong Shijing's level, the personal dining utensils distributed to her are complete.
But this time Yong Shijing is the plenipotentiary representative of Yong Ming. She comes to Tonglu to be responsible for the implementation of "Operation Thunder Sword". The time is tight and the task is heavy. Unlike the previous "Yong Ran Pavilion" which normally visited various places, the task pressure is not high and the time is relatively loose.
.
Therefore, before Yong Shijing set off from Anqiu, she only asked Quanhui to bring herself a pair of silver chopsticks, which were easy to carry and practical.
Before returning to Anqiu yesterday afternoon, Quanhui handed over the affairs he was responsible to Quanlin, including of course Yong Shijing's personal belongings that were under his care.
Seeing how meticulously the general guards worked, Xie Shizhen and the other three felt ashamed.
While Xie Shizhen was eating, he thought to himself that the General Guard's acting style is rigorous. From the superiors to the subordinates, they are all capable and courageous, and their responses are quick and agile.
I feel that the gap with the general guard in all aspects is very obvious.
He had an idea that after the Ministry of Health passed the crisis, he would have the opportunity to go to the General Guard Station to learn and improve.
This thought together made his heart beat wildly and he was very excited.
