As soon as Ye Ming heard the voice, he knew that Secretary Lu was coming. He quickly raised his head, smiled and greeted Secretary Lu politely.
Chen Mengqi has been pampered like a princess since she was a child, and she doesn't have much concept of awe in her heart, so she is not afraid of a high-ranking official like Secretary Lu who is not angry and has no authority. When she saw him saying next to Ye Ming that there would be no chicken to eat if he didn't kill the chicken, she loosened her grip. The shameless little hand retorted: "Why do you say that if Brother Ye doesn't kill the chicken, there will be no chicken to eat? When I was a child, my family ate chicken every day, but my parents never killed a chicken. They always bought it in the market and hired it. Killed. Are your words too absolute?"
Secretary Lu was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Mengqi who looked serious, and suddenly laughed again. While laughing, he said: "The little girl is right, what I just said is too absolute! However, I am basing it on today's specific situation. Situation! Today’s specific situation is: If Xiaoye and all of us don’t kill chickens, then there will be no chickens to eat, right? So, what we said is wrong: I am too absolute, but you are not specific A detailed analysis of the situation, is that so? Little girl?"
Since Secretary Lu's daughter grew up, he has rarely had the opportunity to joke with a girl of Chen Mengqi's age. In addition, she is now his son's girlfriend, so he feels particularly comfortable and happy when talking and laughing with her.
Ye Ming saw that Secretary Lu seemed very happy, so he also smiled and joked: "Secretary Lu, Qiqi likes to talk nonsense, don't argue with her. Qiqi, I think your behavior is a typical deception: you often eat chicken." , but you complain that the person who kills the chicken is too cruel. What you mean is: as long as you don’t see the process of killing the chicken, you can feel at ease eating chicken, right? Is this a cover-up?"
Chen Mengqi was speechless, looked at Ye Ming with a blushing face, and whispered: "Flattery!"
Chen Yi happened to come out and was about to tell Ye Ming to keep the internal organs when carving up the chicken and make "braised fresh chicken offal" later. When she heard the word "flattery" in Chen Mengqi's mouth, she smiled and said: "Qiqi , did you realize he was a flatterer? Has he ever flattered you? Were you deceived by his sweet words and flattery? "
Chen Mengqi blushed, punched Chen Yi lightly on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Sister Chen Yi, why are you making fun of me? He didn't say anything sweet to me! He only patted his superiors. Flattery, never----"
She originally wanted to say, "You never flatter me," but after thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate, so she stopped her words abruptly.
Secretary Lu saw these two beautiful girls teaming up to make fun of Ye Ming. The scene was so heartwarming and interesting that he couldn't help but laugh...
Next, Chen Yi quickly started cooking, and it only took half an hour to cook seven or eight local specialties with full color, aroma and flavor, including "Pearl Plum Native Chicken", "Winter Bamboo Shoots Stir-fried Firewood Bacon", "Dry "Stir-fried green beans", "hand-shredded cabbage", "fried pork blood cake with white pepper", "braised field fish", "fresh and spicy chicken offal", "stewed vermicelli with dried green beans"...
At this time, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and Secretary Lu, Chi Dahua, Qing Tao, Shen Youbin and others were all a little hungry.
When Ye Ming brought the pot of potted vegetables to the dining table in the main room, Secretary Lu and others stared at the fragrant local specialties with their index fingers moving.
After Ye Ming brought all the dishes to the table, he asked with a smile: "Boss, would you like some wine? It's evening now, so it shouldn't matter if you have a little wine!"
Of course Chi Dahua, Qing Tao and others want to drink some wine. Even Shen Youbin, who has never drank, is eager to have a drink tonight - you know, he is accompanying Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee! If he can If you drink some wine, you can take the opportunity of toasting to chat with Secretary Lu and leave a deeper impression on him. What's more, if you drink tonight, when you talk to others in the future, You can also say proudly: "On a certain day in a certain month, Secretary Lu and I drank at the same table, and I even toasted him!"
However, although they all wanted to drink, they did not dare to speak or make the decision without authorization. They all looked at Secretary Lu, waiting for his instructions.
Secretary Lu is very happy today. Moreover, now everyone is eating at the home where Zhao Han used to live. In a sense, he is also the owner of this "home". Therefore, before Ye Ming asked the leaders if they would like something to drink, After drinking, he waved his big hand and said cheerfully: "Xiaoye, it's rare for everyone to come to Donggang Village today. You can drink some wine. But don't drink high alcohol. If there is sweet potato wine steamed and brewed in the countryside, Or glutinous rice wine, that would be best."
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "I happen to have sweet potato wine at home. After I came back yesterday, a teacher from the school who had a good relationship with my mother sent it to me and asked me to scoop it back to the county seat to drink. This wine in our Donggang Village Sweet potato wine is very famous, it is called 'Donggang Maotai', the leaders will know the taste after they taste it."
With that said, he ran into the room and came out carrying a white plastic wine bucket with about ten kilograms of sweet potato wine in it.
At this time, Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi also cleaned up the kitchen, washed their hands and came out. When they heard that the leaders wanted to drink, Chen Yi hurried to the kitchen to find small wine glasses and placed one in front of everyone.
Ye Ming filled the wine glasses for Secretary Lu and others one by one, and sat down near the kitchen. Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi sat on either side of him.
Secretary Lu is a typical northwest man who drinks a lot. However, after he reaches a certain level of officialdom, he consciously controls himself and easily fails to hold the wine glass.
But today, even though there are so many subordinates here, he still wants to drink, and even wants to get drunk - because this is the home of his lover Zhao Han, and he finally meets and reunites with his son Now, he felt a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart: Sad because of Zhao Han's death; happy because of Ye Ming's appearance...
This kind of mixed emotions of sadness and joy is the most likely to stimulate people's desire for alcohol.
What's more, the dishes Chen Yi fried today are very appetizing at a glance. Moreover, among them are "Fresh and Spicy Chicken Offal", "Stir-fried Pork Blood Cake with White Chili Pepper", "Braised Field Fish", and "Stir-fried Winter Bamboo Shoots" "Fire-fired bacon" are the best dishes to go with wine.
Therefore, Secretary Lu was very excited about drinking tonight. He first raised his glass and suggested that everyone drink together. Then he raised his glass and toasted Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi individually, thanking them for cooking up such a good table for everyone. Eat farm food.
Next, Chi Dahua and others were very happy to see Secretary Lu, so they stood up one by one and toasted to him in turn. Secretary Lu also accepted everyone who came, and drank until the glass was dry, which suddenly raised the atmosphere on the entire table.
