Chapter 68, Eating Hot Pot

"Dongfang Jian, please go ahead and talk about the arrangements for the water smelting work in the next stage." Gu Linjiang said that the water smelting work in Xicheng Street has been stuck there. As the director of the district's "Five Water Office", he was also anxious.

Dongfang Jian knew that reporting work to the leader should not be lengthy. He thought for a while and said: "I made a risky move."

"Oh, what kind of risky move was played? Tell me." Gu Linjiang asked with interest.

Dongfang Jian briefly explained the purpose and results of organizing the villagers' physical examination. After hearing this, Gu Linjiang praised him and said: "As expected of a young man, he has a lot of clever ideas. However, you are not afraid of causing trouble because you are a bit heavy on the medicine." .”

"I really can't think of any good ideas. This is called seeking medical treatment in a hurry." Dongfang Jian scratched his head and said.

"This may be a breakthrough, but you have to seize the opportunity and be good at guiding public opinion." Lin Hao said.

"I'm still worried that Xu Yucheng will get in the way and our plan will fail, so I came here to ask District Director Gu and you for help."

"Tell me, can I help you with this or not?" Gu Linjiang obviously liked this young man who dared to fight.

"Please ask the district to come forward to organize natural ecological protection, and the epidemic prevention department will quickly go to Jinghe Village to carry out pollution investigation, find out the source of the serious illness in the villagers, and help us."

"That's easy. I'll make arrangements immediately and ask them to send people to the site to investigate tomorrow morning." Gu Linjiang agreed immediately. He then asked, "Tell me if you have any other difficulties."

Dongfang Jian said: "The Mold Town is about to be completed. It is now at the most critical time. Its success or failure is directly related to the relocation of Mold Street and the water smelting work of Xicheng Street. If possible, please ask the district to come forward and Let Li Xian go, after all, he built the mold town by himself, and we can't do without him."

Gu Linjiang thought for a while and said: "I know about this and I will consider it. You can go back first."

Returning to the "Five Water Office" from District Chief Gu's office, Lin Hao warned Dongfang Jian: "Judging from Zhou Zhijun's case, the water smelting environment in Xicheng Street is relatively complicated. You have to keep a clear head. Go back and tell everyone what you shouldn't take." You can't take things, and you can't attend banquets that you shouldn't eat. You must pay attention to risk prevention. If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the water treatment work, but also affect your personal future and destiny. You are currently the person in charge of the water treatment office, and you have responsibilities. Keep everyone safe.”

"Director Lin, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Well, from what you just said, do you have any suspicion in your mind?" Lin Hao asked.

"A crime cannot be committed without a motive. Who will gain the most from bringing down Zhou Zhijun? You will know if you think about it carefully."

"Do you doubt Xu Yucheng?"

"Even if he is not the mastermind, he must be a participant." Dongfang Jian said with certainty.

"Then you should be more careful with him and don't have a direct conflict with him, you know?"

"Yes, I know. Director Lin, I'm going back to the unit."

"Don't you want to stay at home tonight?"

"Now is a critical moment. I dare not slack off and must keep an eye on it." Dongfang Jian said with a smile.

"Okay, if anything happens, please contact me anytime. Especially if you are unsure, tell me and we will face it together."

"Thank you, director. Goodbye."

It was the rush hour when he returned to the office from the district. The traffic jam on the road was very serious. He was afraid that he would miss dinner when he returned to the work. He called Xu Chuchu: "The road is very congested. I'm afraid I will be late when I return to the work. You don't need to have dinner either." , how about we go out to eat?"

"Okay." Xu Chuchu agreed immediately. Since there were not many people eating in the unit canteen at night, and they were all singles from outside, the dinner in the canteen was nothing more than leftovers from lunch or boiled noodles or stir-fried noodles.

Rice cakes and so on, anyway, I can only make ends meet, and it is impossible to eat well.

"Where are Xiao Lu, Xiao He and the others?" Dongfang Jian asked.

"Isn't there nothing to do recently? They went home."

"Okay, you wait for me at work." Dongfang Jian said.

It felt unsafe to rent a house outside alone, so Xu Chuchu has been living in the guest house of the unit. However, internal employees are charged for staying in the guest house. Generally speaking, it saves a lot compared to renting a house outside, although the rooms in the guest house are relatively simple.

, she also admitted it, it’s just a place to sleep, it doesn’t matter.

It was already half past seven when Dongfang Jian returned to the office. He quickly asked Xu Chuchu out and asked with a smile: "Are you starving?"

"It's okay." Xu Chuchu said reluctantly. If she hadn't promised him in advance, she would have gone to the cafeteria to eat by herself.

Dongfang Jian said: "There is a new hot pot restaurant called 'Niu Shi Xian' opened on the street. Let's go and try it."

"Okay." Xu Chuchu agreed readily. Young people like to keep up with the latest trends. They would go wherever there are crowds. The two of them walked along Qingnian Road towards the intersection at the intersection of Laodong South Road. The spring breeze of reform and opening up brought Chinese delicacies to the world.

All over the country, greatly enriched

It has improved the food culture of the people of the motherland and enabled the general public to realize the "great project" of tasting delicacies from all over the country without leaving home. Fujian Shaxian Snacks, Sichuan Malatang, Chongqing Hot Pot, Quzhou Rabbit Head, Lanzhou Ramen and other specialty restaurants

It's all over the street.

When they arrived at the "Niu Shi Xian" hot pot restaurant, although the first wave of climax had passed, there was still a long queue in front of the store. Dongfang Jian asked the waiter at the door: "How many are there in front?"

The waiter looked at the computer and said, "There are still twenty-eight more."

"How long do I have to wait?"

"At least fifteen minutes."

"How about we change places?" Dongfang Jian asked.

"It's okay, just wait." Xu Chuchu said, she thought that since so many people are willing to wait, the hot pot in this store must be good.

After waiting for a full twenty minutes, the waiter handed Dongfangjian a seat number and said with a smile: "Thank you for waiting, table 32 in the lobby."

When I entered the hall, my dear, the hall was full of customers eating hot pot, old and young. The hot steam from the hot pot made the hall foggy and filled with various smells. The waiter asked: "What are you doing?"

What kind of soup do you want? There are clear soup, tomato and sour soup, and mandarin duck soup."

"Of course the hot pot needs to be spicy, let's have some mandarin duck soup." Xu Chuchu said.

"It needs to be slightly spicy." Dongfang Jian added that it was too spicy for him to eat.

"Okay, except for the beef and soup base, which have to be paid for, all other hot pot ingredients are free. Please help yourself." The waiter said as he handed over a beef menu.

Feeling hungry, Xu Chuchu stopped insisting and ordered a beef roll and beef louver. She handed the menu to Dongfang Jian, who ordered beef tendons and beef offal.

"Please wait a moment." The waiter set out the dishes, chopsticks and utensils and went to serve other guests at other tables.

There are a wide variety of hot pot ingredients on a long row of shelves. Xu Chuchu said: "We split up, you start from that end, and I start from here."

The two selected a small mountain of ingredients and retrieved various seasonings. Everything was ready, the bottom of the pot was opened, and the waiter brought up four other items including beef rolls.

Dongfang Jian asked: "It's best to have some beer when eating hot pot. How about it?"

His belly was almost empty from hunger, so Xu Chuchu said, "Whatever."

"Okay, the waiter will bring a box of small Qingdao." Dongfang Jian shouted.

The waiter came over and said, "Let me tell you in advance, the drinks are at your own expense."

"I know." Dongfang Jian rolled his eyes at the waiter. It's not like he has never eaten hot pot before.

The waiter quickly brought a box of small Qingdao and asked, "Can I open them all for you?"

"Open two bottles first, leave the bottle opener, and we'll open the rest ourselves." Dongfang Jian told her.

"I'm going to take the pot." Xu Chuchu couldn't wait any longer.

"Get off."

Xu Chuchu put the beef roll into the pot, took it out and tasted it after five minutes, and exclaimed: "This beef roll is really fresh, tender and delicious."

Seeing her satisfied and intoxicated look, Dongfang Jian smiled and said, "It's delicious. Order more. Eat as much as you want tonight, as long as it's enough." He also tasted the beef, which was really good. He picked up the bottle and said, "

Come, cheers."
