Wait until Wenli finishes counting the supplies.

Tong Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and invited Jiang Pingan to say:

"Chief Jiang, I must stay for lunch today."

Wen Li smiled and interjected: "I have already invited Section Chief Jiang to stay for dinner."

"Tong Zhi, please have a drink with Section Chief Jiang later so that you can talk."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I want to have a few drinks with Section Chief Jiang." Tong Zhi said happily.

"It just so happened that I went to Northeast China this time and brought back a pot of Baogu wine. The taste will definitely not disappoint Section Chief Jiang!"

Wen Li smiled slightly, took a pen and paper, and wrote an IOU to Jiang Pingan.

What tickets were borrowed and the amount were clearly written on it.

"Ping... Chief Jiang, please accept the IOU first, and Tong Zhi and I will pay you back slowly next year." Wen Li said politely.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Jiang Ping'an smiled, took the IOU, looked at it, said it was good, and put it in his pocket.

"Don't worry. I promised to help you advance the ticket, so there's no need for you to pay it back in a hurry."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

"You sit down for a while while Tong Zhi chats with Section Chief Jiang."

"I'll go over and cook first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

With that said, he turned around and went to work.

Jiang Ping'an took a puff of cigarette and turned to ask Tong Zhidao:

"Are the people in the Northeast living a good life?"

"It's much better than here." Tong Zhi muttered.

"There are two big granaries over there, and the people at worst can eat stick noodles."

"As for running out of food every now and then, it rarely happens."

Jiang Ping'an nodded, smiled and asked: "I heard from Teacher Wen that you are from Sichuan Province?"

"Hey, has Section Chief Jiang ever heard of the Liberation Monument in Shancheng?" Tong Zhi said with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "Not only have I heard of it, but I also know it quite well because I love hot pot."

"Of course, I also love Sichuan food. The taste is more spicy like the one from Shancheng."

The mountain city is a foggy city and is close to the water, so it is very humid.

Therefore, the taste of food eaten by people there is stronger than that in Shu.

Not only is it spicy, but it's also numb.

Tong Zhi sighed: "One side of water supports one side of people, you don't believe it."

"After I came to Beijing to work, I used ingredients brought from my hometown to cook hot pot."

"But I've cooked it many times, but I still can't get the original flavor of Shancheng hot pot."

"Although the taste is almost the same when cooked, it always lacks a flavor."

"Later I thought about it carefully and it should be related to the water quality in the two places."

"The water quality in the north is harder, while the water quality in the south is softer."

"So the taste of the cooked food is still obviously different."

As he spoke, he smiled and continued:

"But I can't treat you to hot pot today."

"But I can treat you to authentic Sichuan cuisine."

"By the way, make some Sichuan dishes to entertain Section Chief Jiang!"

Wen Li over there responded and continued busy.

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Jiang Ping'an said with a wide smile.

Next, the two sat and chatted.

Nothing more than national events, human geography, delicious food, career development, etc.

We talked about everything and got along happily.

As for Wen Li and Tong Zhi’s daughter Yanni.

I sent it to my grandma's house a few days ago, so I didn't see it.

Because Tong Zhi is with him, it's not easy for Jiang Ping'an to cause trouble.

At around eleven o'clock, Wen Li prepared lunch.

The food was on the table, and it was quite rich.

Braised carp, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried vermicelli with cabbage, home-style stir-fried yuba, and pickled dried radish.

Plus an egg drop.

Except for soup, all other dishes tend to be spicy, which is thick, salty and fragrant.

"Chief Jiang, you must try this bag of grain wine I brought back." Tong Zhi strongly recommended it.

"This wine has a rich aroma, is clear and transparent, has no impurities and foreign matter, and has a sweet taste..."

Wen Li sat aside, smiling and saying nothing, but she lightly kicked her legs under the table.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "Okay, I won't have fun without wine!"

"Since you admire this wine so much, you will have to drink too much today!"

Then, he and Tong Zhi talked, ate vegetables, and drank wine.

After a while, Tong Zhi was drunk to the point of collapse.

"You did it on purpose, right?" Wen Li put down the bowl quickly, her face was excited and her eyes were as charming as silk.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and stood up with a smile: "I am..."

With that said, he stepped forward...

…

"Huh, it's almost done!" Wen Li exhaled a long breath and said.

The bedroom was in a mess, Jiang Ping'an hugged Wen Li, nodded, and smoked slowly.

Wen Li nuzzled into his arms and whispered:

"Let us make a deal first. We won't be able to return those tickets to you for a while. We have to collect them gradually next year."

"Well, you've told me three or four times that it's not urgent. Just give it to me when you have it."

Wen Li smiled and said: "I thought you said you didn't want those tickets..."

"I'm not stupid, why not?" Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

"Tickets are so rare, and there are so many places I can use them!"

Wen Li said: "But I still want to thank you for helping us get so many years' worth of goods."

"Why are you thanking me? We have a deep relationship, so there is no need to thank me!" Jiang Ping'an said with a bad smile.

Wen Li lightly punched him and said, "You just don't have a decent job!"

Jiang Ping'an laughed, looked at his watch, and said:

"Okay, it's almost time, let's get up quickly."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold."

Wen Li also knew the seriousness, so she got up, poured a basin of hot water, and did some hygiene.

The two flirted and flirted for a while, each getting dressed properly.

Jiang Pingan held Tong Zhi in one hand, threw him on the bed, and then covered him with a quilt.

"Now you don't have to worry about catching a cold!" Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Wen Li shook her head and smiled, then walked over to clean up the bowl quickly and said:

"I won't see you off. Let's see you in the new year."

Jiang Pingan had just told her that he was going to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Pingan went up, hugged her waist from behind, and whispered:

"No need to send me away, there are so many people at the moment!"

After saying that, he gave her a little peck and walked away.
