Xuanpu County Hotel is behind the county government. It is under the management of the government.
Originally, it was just a guest house of the county government, and it remained basically unchanged for decades. But later, after the reform and opening up, it was turned into a hotel, and both the appearance and the interior decoration were completely different from before. For a long time, it
It is the most luxurious and outstanding external reception place in Xuanpu County. Of course, there are many and better hotels than it now.
Since Xiao Zixin returned to his hometown, a small county, to work as a cadre, he first lived in a dormitory and became friends with Chen Lei. Later, Chen Lei got married and had children, so he moved out long ago, leaving Xiao Zixin alone.
Now, as Xiao Zixin was transferred to the county government office, he was promoted a step further and moved from a one-way dormitory to a county hotel.
This was arranged by Director Zhang of the Government Office.
There is also a room for County Magistrate Gao Pengcheng. Magistrate Gao came here directly from the position of director of the city office to serve as county magistrate. People came, but not home. He lives alone and only goes back on Saturdays and Sundays.
, usually lives alone in a hotel. When Xiao Zixin comes, he is both his neighbor and his partner. However, Xiao Zixin lives in an ordinary room, while the one occupied by County Magistrate Gao Pengcheng for a long time is fully equipped.
High room with the best conditions.
The next night after Xiao Zixin and Chen Lei drank, there was nothing to do after get off work, so Xiao Zixin went back to the hotel and lay on the bed to think about it for a while.
Then I plan to go down to the restaurant to have dinner.
Anyone who lives in government housing has three meals a day. If they want to eat, they just sit down and tell the waiter who follows them. In a moment, what they want to eat will be served. This is something Xiao Zixin has never thought of before.
What's more, I didn't know it before I ate it for the first time. I only ordered a simple dish, four taels of rice. But after eating it, I wanted to pay and leave, and then I realized that they didn't need to charge him the money he paid, just let him
Just sign a form and that's it.
Haha, this is very strange. Xiao Zixin walked out of the restaurant and looked back. For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming.
Later I became familiar with it and got used to it.
It seems that in this magical country, you really have to work hard to be a leader. Position and power are different. Even in extremely common things like eating, drinking and having fun that everyone desires, they are absolutely different. I have never heard that ordinary people don’t eat well.
It costs money, even if Xiao Zixin eats at the petition office, he still pays for what he eats. But the next step is to enter the government office. Hehe, everything has changed before he knows it. Whether it is unspoken rules or everything,
Anyway, that's it, and he is just an ordinary civil servant, just a person who serves the leadership.
So, what about the county magistrate?
One can imagine.
Therefore, although Xiao Zixin has been working in the government for a long time, and has followed County Magistrate Gao several times to go to high-end places, go to the countryside, work in factories, inspect, etc., and often accompany him to eat, drink and have fun, but in the county where they live
They still haven't had a meal alone together in the hotel. He doesn't want to do this because he knows in his heart that he is not on the same level as her.
The longer he worked in the government office, the more Xiao Zixin understood the truth and mystery.
Therefore, he would arouse a certain desire deep in his heart that he had never had before.
I want to be an official, I want to change my status and identity, and make myself more and more respected by others.
He was always keenly aware of every opportunity.
"Xiao Xiao, come here."
The phone rang, Xiao Zixin turned over and sat up, startled, it was County Magistrate Gao calling.
Putting down the phone, he hurried to the large room where Magistrate Gao lived, knocked on the door gently, and then walked in gently after hearing his voice.
Although they only lived upstairs and downstairs, he didn't dare to enter Magistrate Gao's room unless he had something to do.
"County Magistrate Gao, did you call me?"
"Ah," Gao Pengcheng was changing his clothes and asked him to sit down. Xiao Zixin did not sit down and stood there to listen to his instructions, "I just came back from going to the countryside. We didn't eat there for dinner in the township. Have you eaten?"
Xiao Zixin's heart moved and he said hurriedly: "I haven't eaten either, County Magistrate Gao."
"Okay, I have rice here and a rice cooker. Can you cook?"
"Yes." Xiao Zixin nodded hurriedly. In fact, how could he cook? But how could he say he couldn't cook?
"Then you do it and we eat together."
I know how to wash rice. I grew up watching my mother in the countryside cook. Although I didn’t pay special attention to how my mother washed rice, how to add water, and how much was appropriate, I still have some sporadic memories in my heart. Even when I was a college student.
, he has always eaten in the canteen and has never cooked. Now this good opportunity is rare. Xiao Zixin was secretly excited. He pretended that everything would be okay, went to the rice bag to grab rice, and then ran under the mineral water bucket to wash the rice.
, washed it three times to see if the water was clear, then put the rice cooker back and plugged in the power cord.
The rice bags were placed at the bottom of a rolling cabinet. After everything was done, Xiao Zixin went over and closed the rolling cabinet door. Everything was done carefully and in an orderly manner.
County Magistrate Gao always keeps bags of Qinmi and cooks his own meals, which is something Xiao Zixin never dreamed of.
County Magistrate Gao finished changing his clothes, came out to take a look, and went back to the suite without saying anything. Xiao Zixin thought, should he take the opportunity to go in and talk to County Magistrate Gao at this time, or what?
He couldn't make up his mind.
Ordinarily, if you take this opportunity to take the initiative to go in and talk to Magistrate Gao, there will be no chance. At least you will be close to the leader, which will play the role of getting twice the result with half the effort that is usually impossible. However, if the leader does not have that intention, they have other ideas.
What about the matter? Wouldn't it be annoying and inappropriate for him to go in at this time? Thinking of this, Xiao Zixin felt that it made sense, because County Magistrate Gao called him over just to ask him to cook, and did not ask him to come in to talk or discuss things.
You mean, maybe it’s inappropriate to go in rashly by yourself?
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. As a secretary, you must first learn to grasp the pulse of the leader and understand the meaning of the leader.
Otherwise, it will be just the opposite.
Oh, yes, Xiao Zixin thought about it and saw that the rice cooker was plugged in. It would take a while for the rice to be cooked. Since the township left County Magistrate Gao and the others without eating, then Magistrate Gao did not go to the restaurant below to eat when he came back.
Instead, he asked himself to cook for him. At that time, it was not possible to eat without food? Xiao Zixin’s next thought was to rush down to order food, inform the hotel waiter that County Magistrate Gao had not eaten dinner yet, and cook a few dishes that he would usually eat.
Come up.
But just when he turned around and went downstairs, he suddenly had an idea. Why didn't County Magistrate Gao stay in the township to eat? Why didn't he go to the restaurant below to eat by himself? Instead of asking him to come over to wash rice and cook for him as an exception?
Xiao Zixin felt that he was a little nervous for a moment, and wondered why. It was originally a small matter, but it became complicated for Xiao Zixin, a person who wholeheartedly wanted to get close to the leader and become an official. He asked for a solution, but there was no solution.
.
Although other reasons cannot be ruled out, according to Xiao Zixin's understanding, it cannot be completely ruled out that County Magistrate Gao is tired of eating those things and wants to change his taste. In order to make things go smoothly, Xiao Zixin notified the front desk of the county hotel and did not
Instead of turning around and going upstairs, he strode straight out.
Xiao Zixin now has a clear purpose and goes straight to the market.
Because several times, when he followed County Magistrate Gao to the countryside, what impressed him most deeply was not only work, but also life, especially at the wine table. He found that although County Magistrate Gao liked those big fish, meat, delicacies, but at the same time
He also likes some unique snacks, such as some local specialties from rural areas, and the local Korean pickles are the taste of the county magistrate Hegao. Every time he eats them, he will praise them and give them praise.
Now, Xiao Zixin is going to do this personally.
Haha! It’s true to say that this local Korean pickle (also called Korean pickle) is extremely unique. It has good color, variety and taste, and is delicious. It is definitely a good thing to go with rice. It is said that many local Korean pickles
Women, since the beginning of the reform and opening up policy, have brought the most distinctive pickles of their family to the market, and later some people have brought it to the capital Beijing. In fact, one family has become a household worth 10,000 yuan in one year.
It’s evident how popular and liked he is.
After running to the market, Xiao Zixin looked here and there. It was the time to eat after get off work, and the crowds were bustling. He wanted to pick the best and the best, looking for the best.
Although Xiao Zixin bought a lot of tea during this trip, and also bought a pig tongue (tongue), which cost him tens of dollars, almost equal to half a month's salary, but he was still happy in his heart. After all, spending money for the leader
It's not every day that Qian has the opportunity to be so close to County Magistrate Gao, even if he is his secretary, the same is true.
When Xiao Zixin ran back to County Magistrate Gao's room, carrying a large plastic bag (there were many small bags of different kinds in it), County Magistrate Gao heard the door ring and came out to take a look.
"Haha, Xiao Xiao, is this your first time cooking? Or is this your first time using a rice cooker?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zixin was stunned.
He didn't realize for a moment what County Magistrate Gao meant. Could it be that he didn't do well enough?
"You got the rice and the electricity is plugged in, but why didn't you press the timer?"
Ah? Timer?
Xiao Zixin was confused, what kind of timer?
Looking at his look, County Magistrate Gao understood: "You have never used a rice cooker?"
"Well, this is the first time." Xiao Zixin admitted honestly, blushing. Indeed, although the rice cooker was no longer a high-tech product at that time, most people still didn't have that thing, and it was still regarded as a furnishing and luxury item in the store.
Xiao Zixin had never used a rice cooker even when he was in college. This was the first time he used it. Although he had been cautious before and seemed to have considered everything, he just didn't expect that he would forget the most important step of cooking.
, to be more precise, maybe for him it is not forgetting at all, but simply not understanding.
It seems that not knowing anything can kill people!
Fortunately, County Magistrate Gao might be hungry. Xiao Zixin went out to buy things. He might not be able to help but come out to take a look and found the problem. When Xiao Zixin ran over to press the timer, Magistrate Gao was behind him.
He said with a smile: "I connected it. Listen, it will be buzzing inside. It will be ready in a while. It is almost cooked." Then I realized that the rice cooker is really a good thing, and it only takes ten minutes to cook.
It's a pity, if I had used it earlier, I would have known that there is a timer that needs to be pressed, and maybe it would be time to start eating.
"What have you been doing?"
"I'm going to buy this..." Xiao Zixin still held the big plastic bag in his hand and showed it to County Magistrate Gao. Then he continued to take Korean pickles from the inside out.
County Magistrate Gao came over to take a look, smell and tighten his nose.
