The neighborhood in Pingshan Town is very small. To put it bluntly, you can walk from one end to the other in the time it takes to pee, so there are only a few restaurants on the street. According to Li Xiaoning's request, Gu Yun and the others took the meal
The place was chosen to be the best restaurant in Pingshan Town - Pingshan Hotel.
It is said to be a big hotel, but it is actually just four large tile-roofed rooms, and there are no single rooms, but this is just convenient for many people to eat together. In the spacious room, four large square tables are pushed together, and it is enough to seat twenty or thirty people.
It's not too crowded.
As the director of the Party and Government Office, Zhao Aihua naturally volunteered to take the order and greet everyone to take their seats. Seeing the fat boss lady carrying two bottles of the old village chief, he shouted: "Today is to welcome the new Mayor Li, you
What can I do with this eight-yuan bottle of wine? Let’s exchange it for something better.”
"The good one is Langyatai. It's 20 yuan a bottle. Do you want it?" the landlady asked again worriedly.
"I want your best wine, two bottles first." Zhao Aihua said generously, since he didn't need to pay for it anyway.
"There are so many of us, how can two bottles be enough? At least five bottles." A middle-aged man wearing a police uniform answered.
"Then take five bottles." Zhao Aihua said calmly.
Li Xiaoning took a quick look and found that there were fifteen men in total today. If there were five bottles of liquor, the average number of men would be three, two, and three. He said to Zhao Aihua with a little worry: "I have to go to work in the afternoon. It's not good to drink so much."
Bar?"
Zhao Aihua grinned and said: "Mayor Li, you don't know something. We in the backcountry are different from you in the big city. You are busy from nine to five, but here we have nothing to do all day long.
It’s a stupid thing, people don’t come to do errands at all in the afternoon, so we basically don’t have to go to work. Just open it and drink.”
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Li Xiaoning didn't want to disturb everyone's interest, so he stopped insisting.
While the food was being served, Zhao Aihua introduced everyone to Li Xiaoning one by one. The twenty-one people who came today are all staff from various departments of the town government. The ones who left an impression on Li Xiaoning were: Tian Wan, deputy director of the town police station
Nong is the middle-aged policeman who just spoke; Family Planning Commissioner Bai Dengke is the quiet young man from the Family Planning Office. In addition, there is Zhang Xiuzhen, the director of the radio station, a fair-skinned lady in her thirties; Agricultural Technology
The webmaster, Wang Yong, is about forty years old and wears big black-rimmed glasses...
Just after introducing people, steaming dishes were served one after another. To Li Xiaoning's surprise, despite the poor appearance of the store, the dishes were still very rich. Such as stir-fried chicken, braised pork knuckles, and braised goose feet.
, Stir-fried kidneys, Kung Pao chicken, etc., the table was full, all on large 12-inch white porcelain plates, and all of them were outstanding.
Zhao Aihua picked up the wine bottle and filled it for Li Xiaoning first, then asked everyone to refill it, and then said: "Today is Mayor Li's first meal in Pingshan Town. I suggest that everyone drink the first glass of wine."
People born and raised in rural areas are basically very simple and generous. Everyone at the table, including a weak-looking girl like Gu Yun, drank the wine in their glasses. This could not help but make Li Xiaoning look at him with admiration. He also often
The drinker could see that the large white porcelain cup in front of him was not half a liang but only three qian. He raised the glass without hesitation.
"Okay!" Tian Wannong stood up and said, "Our old rule in Pingshan Town is that you have three glasses of wine after entering the house. Just one drink counts. I can see that Mayor Li is a cheerful person. I will drink this second drink with you."
Li Xiaoning just put down the wine glass, and before he could use chopsticks to pick up the food, he saw Tian Wannong raising his glass and quickly added wine. He stood up, raised the glass, touched it with Tian Wannong, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Yong continued: "Come, let me drink the third cup."
After three glasses of wine, Li Xiaoning barely ate anything, but looking at a pair of pure eyes, he couldn't help but recall the scene at home when he was a child. He felt like seeing an old friend. He raised his glass and said: "Today
When I came to Pingshan Town, I was very touched by how enthusiastic everyone was. I have already finished the three glasses of wine after entering, so let me propose a toast to everyone."
Tian Xiuzhen, the director of the radio station, shouted: "Mayor Xiao Li, we have rules for toasting in Pingshan Town."
"Oh? What are the rules? Sister Xiuzhen, please tell me." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
Tian Xiuzhen said: "The rule is, either you are disrespectful or you have to be respectful, and you have to respect them one by one."
Li Xiaoning said proudly: "Of course I respect them one by one."
Li Xiaoning spoke boldly and drank the wine generously, but after all, this was genuine liquor, not boiled water. After drinking it in one round, the bottle in front of him was already empty. According to Li Xiaoning's drinking capacity, he usually drinks one or two bottles of liquor, and there is no
No problem at all, but he drank too much today and his stomach was empty. After one bottle, he was already feeling drunk.
But doing so was not without rewards. At least his drinking method, which was not adulterated at all, immediately conquered the hearts of the men and women present. Well, he didn't eat a bite of the food, but drank a pound of white wine.
, this depends not only on the ability to drink, but also on sincerity. In this regard, Mayor Li is countless times better than Secretary Pang. I think back when Pang Weidong just took office and drank Jiefeng wine, the deputy
When the mayors toasted, he licked it; when the middle-level cadres toasted, he held one end; when other people toasted, he nodded his head. He looked aloof and domineering.
Tian Xiuzhen and other women had already begun to murmur to each other: "Mayor Xiao Li is so sincere. Look at the way he dresses and dress up. He has thin skin and tender flesh. He is definitely from a better background than Secretary Pang, but he doesn't have any airs at all."
No. I don’t know if he has a partner. If not, I have to find a good girl for him as soon as possible.”
"What are you looking for? Isn't there a big beauty right in front of you?" Meng Meihong pointed at Gu Yun and said, "Look, it's a perfect match."
"Sister Hong, you are making fun of me again." Gu Yun blushed and reached out to hit Meng Meihong.
"I think what Meihong said makes sense." Tian Xiuzhen stopped Gu Yun and said seriously, "Don't Xiaoyun also have a husband's family? He Dongliang still wants to eat swan meat. Now Mayor Xiao Li is here,
I just happen to be matched with you, and I also stopped thinking about He Dongliang's grandson."
"Sister Xiuzhen, why are you making fun of me?" Gu Yun said coyly with a red face.
"Who is making fun of you? I'm telling you seriously. Don't you still look down on Mayor Li?" Tian Xiuzhen asked.
"What's the point of me liking him? He has to be able to be liked by others, like a country girl like me!" Gu Yun's tone was full of resentment.
"What's wrong with the country girl? Besides, how do you look like a country girl? Even the best city girls can't compare to you with your sizzling tender skin. And you're such a bastard, you
This ass, if I were a man, I would also want to rape you." Tian Xiuzhen kept saying.
"Oh, sister, what are you talking about?" Gu Yun said, covering her face with her hands.
"I didn't say this first. He Dongliang's grandson says he wants to rape you every day." Tian Xiuzhen spat at Xingzi and said. Suddenly her eyes widened and she cursed, "Damn it, I can't help but say it."
