"Mr. Four, take two people here to watch. Let's have dinner in the town for dinner. I'll take Mayor Li and the others back to the village first." Zhang Lang rushed to the fourth uncle to give a handful of food coupons and money, turned around and led the way with Mayor Li, Professor Wen.

On the road, Zhang Lang pointed to the mountain road and said to Mayor Li: "Leader, everyone says that if you want to be rich, you must first build the road. I plan to widen this mountain road into a ten-meter-wide road. For the time being, I will level it with stones first. Just pass the car. When I have money next year, I will build it into a cement road."

"Oh! If you want to be rich, build roads first. You are a good statement!" Mayor Li's eyes lit up after hearing Zhang Lang's words.

Songshulingzi Town is located at the intersection of plains and mountains, and many villages are in the mountains.

There are countless wealth in the mountains. Although everyone can have a meal, it is also hindering economic development because the mountain road is difficult to move.

The common people have no money to see a doctor, their children have no money to go to school, and they can't get married. These are the headaches for him to be the mayor.

Once the mountain road is opened and the things in the mountains are transported out, it will be money!

The more Mayor Li thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was reliable. He decided to wait this year to see the development of Xilongzhuang. If it was as Zhang Lang said, he would take the militia to open mountains and build roads next year during the slack season.

Anyway, militia training is concentrated, shooting is training, and opening mountains and building roads is also training.

"You guys have a flexible mind. Don't worry about what I promised, and I will never forget it. When you transport the things into the mountains, I will let them come and help you open the mountains and build roads." Mayor Li happily patted Zhang Lang on the shoulder.

"Thank you, leader, this mountain road is really hard to walk. It takes more than ten miles to walk for a long time. I am anxious!" Zhang Lang quickly expressed his gratitude.

Because I was delayed in the town for a while in the morning, it was already dark when everyone arrived in Xilongzhuang, and more than a dozen large pots under the big locust tree were gusting and smelling.

Zhang Lang found his third uncle who was left behind, which added more than 200 people. It turned out that the prepared food was not enough.

My third uncle has experience. After hearing this, he immediately greeted someone and re-made the pot. There were more than a dozen idle pots in the brigade headquarters.

There are also ready-made wild boar meat, stewed with cabbage vermicelli, and you will smell the fragrance if you don’t use much.

The steamed buns can only be eaten by the people in the militia company first. The village’s food is served and they will be eaten home. Each person will subsidize two kilograms of corn flour.

Mayor Li also experienced the difficulty of walking on the mountain road. It has been almost a year since he came to Songshulingzi Town, but he hasn't been to Xilongzhuang once.

I felt that it was difficult to walk through several other mountain villages I had been to before, but I didn’t expect that there were even more difficult things to walk through.

Thinking about the two villages that are farther and deeper in the mountains, Mayor Li feels that the burden on his shoulders is heavier.

"Leader, this is our old secretary..." Zhang Lang introduced to Mayor Li.

"You don't need to introduce it... we know each other. We have seen it during the meeting before." Mayor Li stopped Zhang Lang and said with a smile.

"Yes...yes! Look at my mind, I'm so confused. My third uncle's house has prepared food. Let's go to have a meal first!" Zhang Lang patted his head and said with a smile.

My third uncle has six strong laborers in his family, and he lives a relatively wealthy life and has a spacious house.

Therefore, Zhang Lang handed over the task of receiving the mayor to his third uncle, and the village gave him a certain subsidy for the third uncle.

"Okay, then let's have a meal first." After walking on the mountain road for a long time, Mayor Li and Professor Wen were already hungry, and they were not polite when they heard this.

"Shanzhu, please entertain the brothers of the militia company and let everyone eat well." Before leaving, Zhang Lang explained to the village militia captain Dong Shanzhu.

…………

The meal prepared by Sangu was very rich and affordable, including cold-salted wild boar ears, cold-salted cabbage hearts, braised monkey erectus mushrooms, a pot of roe deer meat, a pot of pheasant stewed mushrooms, and a pot of tiled fish.

Although my third aunt is big and thick, she is good at home and outside, and the dishes she makes are really good.

Mayor Li, who was born in the army, did not act falsely, and sat down with Professor Wen and started eating.

After everyone ate for a while, there was something in their stomachs, my third uncle filled the wine.

"Welcome to Xilongzhuang to inspect the work! I will respect you first!" My third uncle was also a generous person. He picked up the black pottery bowl of wine, said a few polite words, and drank it in one sip.

"Okay! Brother Dong has a good alcohol tolerance! I've done this wine!" As he said that, Mayor Li picked up the wine bowl and became stuffy.

"Thank you Brother Dong for your kind hospitality. I have done this wine too!" Professor Wen has been dealing with farmers all year round and is quite straightforward.

Both guests drank dry, and Zhang Lang, as the master, could not fall behind, so he also did it in one breath.

Put down the wine bowl and poured it all over. Mayor Li took the initiative to pick up the wine bowl, "Brother Dong said just now, I was criticizing me. I did not do it properly. It was my first time to come to Xilongzhuang after so long. It was my dereliction of duty! I apologize to my brother... I did it!" Mayor Li said and said with his face.

"If the leader is serious, how dare I criticize the leader? The leader has a lot of things and is busy with work. The road to Xilongzhuang is difficult to walk, so we can understand it if we don't come!" The third uncle hurriedly picked up the bowl and accompanied him.

"Professor Wen, I respect you. We are all farmers, big and rude, and I can't read a few words. How much vegetables in this greenhouse depend on your guidance. I'll do it, you can do it!" The third uncle and Mayor Li competed with each other, and Zhang Lang also came to Professor Wen.

"You Director Zhang is not a rude man! It's amazing just by your idea of ​​building vegetables in greenhouses. I've done it too. In the future, you Director Zhang will have to take care of you in Xilongzhuang."

The black pottery bowl used in rural areas is not antique black pottery, but a kind of earthenware that is not left behind. One bowl can hold more than half a pound of wine.

Zhang Lang also realized that Mayor Li and Professor Wen also had a huge amount of them, otherwise he would not dare to drink this way.

The person who was stolen with all his weight probably would have escaped after eating these two bowls of old wine.

"Come on... Come on, don't just drink and eat some food! The mountains are hard, there is no good food! It's just this little game." Zhang Lang greeted everyone and talked about food.

"It is true that the hardships in the mountains are not good, but they are humble. The monkey head mushroom was put over, but the emperor ate it." Mayor Li smiled and said, "The monkey head mushroom.

"In the northeast, there is a saying that the rod beats roe deer and scoops fish. It can be seen that there is really no shortage of meat, but it just lacks vegetables, especially in winter, when the cabbage and radish are eaten, they want to vomit."

Professor Wen also said a few chopsticks of monkey head mushrooms before continuing: "So I said that Director Zhang's idea of ​​making greenhouse vegetables is so good! In the smallest way, it solved the problem of Northeastern people eating vegetables in winter. In the big way, it was to make outstanding contributions to the four modernizations!"

After two bowls of wine, the atmosphere became warmer and everyone talked more.

"Professor Wen, you have been awarded the award. I am just a commoner. I just want to lead these hundreds of fellow villagers to a well-off life as a stupid Duke Deng said." Zhang Lang hurriedly said modestly.

"Your goal is not small anymore. The whole country is still thinking about how to solve the problem of food and clothing. You are now starting to achieve a well-off life... Come on, let's take a look for your well-off life goal!" Mayor Li smiled and took the initiative to drink with Zhang Lang.
