Chapter 396 Dinner
After hearing this, Secretary Wu said: "Yes, boss, this has always been an old city. It was just included in the planning this year, but the specific details have not been finalized, so it has not been announced."
The corner of Zheng Guangping's mouth raised slightly and he said: "Although it has not been announced, ordinary people also have ordinary people's channels for information."
Zheng Guangping's words naturally refer to these bungalows that have been converted from private residences into business premises.
While they were talking, they walked to the door of the stew restaurant. Ling You opened the door first, and then stood at the door and asked Zheng Guangping to come forward. Zheng Guangping was not polite when he saw this, and walked in first, followed by his secretary.
After Ling You was angry, he still let Ling You go in first, while he walked in last.
There were already three tables of people sitting in the room at this time. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was very lively. The big pot was steaming, and I felt instantly warm all over my body.
The landlady came over at this time. When she saw Ling You, she smiled and said, "Brother is here? Come on, sit here."
As she spoke, the landlady asked Ling You and the others to walk towards a table and asked with a smile: "Are these two your friends?"
Ling You replied: "Yes, I had a good meal at your place yesterday, so I brought my friends here today."
The landlady's face immediately lit up with pride: "We have been running a stew restaurant for 20 years, and there is nothing bad about the food we have eaten."
After saying that, the landlady asked again: "Let's see what we want to eat today?"
Ling You looked at Zheng Guangping and pointed at the wall: "His family orders food on the wall."
Many restaurants here in Jishan have this style of ordering, and Zheng Guangping naturally knows that. Looking at Ling You, he can see that Ling You, a foreigner, feels that this kind of ordering style is relatively rare.
Zheng Guangping was also very easy-going. Hearing this, he said: "What is the specialty of your pot?"
The landlady then enumerated: "The goose pot, pork ribs pot, and chicken stew pot are all delicious. Let's see what ingredients you like."
Zheng Guangping then asked Xiang Lingyou: "What did you eat yesterday?"
Ling You replied: "Big goose."
Zheng Guangping nodded: "Then let's stew another goose pot, and then serve two stir-fried dishes and one cold dish."
As he spoke, Zheng Guangping smiled and said to the proprietress: "We are all repeat customers. Are there any free dishes?"
The landlady laughed and said, "Yes, yes, definitely." Then she asked, "Do you want to drink?"
After hearing this, Zheng Guangping looked at Ling You and said, "Xiao Ling, can you take a few sips?"
Ling You smiled: "No problem."
Zheng Guangping then looked at the displayed wine on the counter, then pointed his finger: "Then take a bottle of that one, one pound."
Then he explained to Lingyou: "This is a local liquor produced by our local winery. It is brewed with pure grains. The locals drink it. Although it is cheap, it has a soft and fragrant taste and is not overpowering. You can try it later."
Ling You smiled and said yes, but at the same time he also gained a new understanding of Zheng Guangping. He did not expect that a person of Zheng Guangping's status could be so adaptable in such a small restaurant. Even in terms of drinking, there was no one like him.
Some leaders are so naughty.
Zheng Guangping saw the way Ling You looked at him, and he roughly saw what Ling You was thinking, so he said: "When I was young, I worked at the grassroots level for a long time. I had never been in a government agency. I spent most of my time in the fields.
I work and farm with the people. After resting at night, I eat a bowl of stewed chicken sent by the villagers, drink two taels of bulk liquor, and sleep until dawn. It is so comfortable. Thinking about it now, I still have endless aftertaste.
."
After saying that, Zheng Guangping looked at Ling You and asked, "Xiao Ling, you have also worked at the grassroots level, right?"
Ling You nodded: "I was in Liushan Town in Hedong Province before. I have lived the kind of life you mentioned. It is indeed worth remembering. Watching the people's lives getting better and better, I am really motivated every day.
"
Zheng Guangping hummed after hearing this, and then said: "I have asked people to investigate what you encountered today, and the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission also participated. When I heard those words, I was very angry, and at the same time I felt sorry for Jishan
I feel so ashamed that there are such comrades at the grassroots level in the province, and it makes you laugh."
Ling You shook his head: "I also want to apologize to you. I didn't think carefully about calling you directly. But what I thought was that Jishan is an agricultural province, and land and farmers are priceless.
In today's environment, most young people in the village have chosen to go out to work, and most of those who can stay are
They are the older generation who love this land deeply and have no choice in it. What I think is that the grassroots cadres cannot let these farmers who have sweated all their lives shed tears again, and the victimized villagers who have already suffered a loss are angry.
Okay, that’s why I called you. Please bear with me for my recklessness."
Although Ling You said this, the call to Zheng Guangping was the result of his careful consideration. If he had not made this call, how would he have sent someone to investigate as Zheng Guangping said? Then the final result was,
Whether it will really make these sweating people cry again, Ling You doesn't know.
After hearing this, Zheng Guangping said: "You are right. It's not that I am passing the blame, but that there are some sounds that I can't hear sitting in the office. Even if I walk down, I can't see them. I can see them."
This is what we grassroots cadres want me to see. Regarding this move, this cannot be changed overnight. I think you can understand."
Regarding these words, Ling You also knew that what Zheng Guangping said was reasonable, and he also understood it deeply.
After a while, the proprietress came over with the ingredients, put the chopped goose into the pot, and put on the side dishes.
Ling You and Zheng Guangping chatted for a while, and the goose in the pot was also stewed. The landlady brought the stir-fried vegetables, cold dishes and wine one after another, and then as promised in the joke, two dishes were given to the three of them.
Side dishes to go with wine.
When Secretary Wu saw the wine on the table, he filled it up for Zheng Guangping and Ling You. Ling You took the filled wine glasses with both hands and thanked him, because Secretary Wu would have to drive later, so he drank tea.
Zheng Guangping raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine is to welcome Xiaoling to Jishan."
Seeing this, Ling You hurriedly picked up the wine glass: "Thank you."
As he spoke, Ling You clinked glasses with Zheng Guangping, then clinked glasses with Secretary Wu who was holding a tea cup, and then drank half of the cup and went in.
After putting down the glass, Ling You said: "This wine is really good, not inferior to some famous wines."
At this time, Secretary Wu interrupted and said with a smile: "The origin of this wine is in Ling'an County, Ruihu City. It is a local enterprise in the county and a pillar enterprise. However, the publicity is a bit poor. It has always been in the province.
