Chapter 521 Purpose of the Banquet 2
Chapter 521 2
1.
In the hall of Wang Guixiao's house, there are already a few appetizers prepared in advance on the dining table, and the wine utensils and tableware have also been placed, waiting for the guests to enter the table.
Although Wang Guixiao said that he was the master, he didn't dare to hold it up in front of Qian Jin, so he invited Qian Jin to sit on the main seat, Qian Jin was not polite, and sat down with a big ass, and the others also sat down in turn after Qian Jin sat down.
After sitting down, Qian Jin began to look at the appetizers on the table. A fried quail, a braised pheasant, a fried silkworm pupae, and a roasted hare. Qian Jin was not very interested in other game, but he was interested in this roasted hare. This season is said to be not the best time to eat hares, the best time to eat hares is after autumn, or after the heavy snow covers the mountains, when the hares are the fattest, and there is no miscellaneous taste; now it is dog days, and the hares gnaw all the grass, so no matter how they cook, they will have a grassy smell when they eat; therefore, in the Toyama area, few people shoot hares, and even fewer people eat hares. However, Wang Guixiao's roasted hare is to first disembowel, clean the internal organs and soak it in water for half a day, in order to remove the grass flavor in the hare's meat, and then add soy sauce, sweet vinegar, salt, green onions, ginger and garlic, star anise, Fennel and other ingredients are pickled, and the pickling time is about two hours; the rabbit that has been developed is steamed in the pot again, and after steaming, it is roasted, and the apple wood or chestnut wood on the mountain should be used when roasting, so that the roasted hare carries a fragrance of meat and wood smoke mixed with it; when eating, it is dipped in a little salty salt or cumin, pepper and other seasonings, and the meat is tender and fragrant in the mouth, and it is a very good appetizer.
At this moment, the roast rabbit meat has just been served on the table, and it is steaming slightly, exuding an attractive rich meat aroma, which makes people can't help but have an appetite. Qian Jin didn't care about any etiquette and politeness at this time, so he reached out and grabbed a rabbit leg and gnawed it. Deputy Director Sun also drooled when he looked at it, but before Wang Guixiao didn't pour wine and Qian Jin didn't officially open the banquet, he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Qian Jin.
The four of them sat around the dining table, Wang Xiulin and Wang Guixiao were busy pouring wine and tea, and Deputy Director Sun lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. After Qian Jin wolfed down a rabbit leg, Wang Guixiao picked up his wine glass and invited Qian Jin to open the banquet.
Qian Jin wiped his mouth, picked up his wine glass and said a few kind words, which was regarded as opening a banquet for Wang Guixiao, the host. After the banquet began, Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun began to drink and eat meat unscrupulously, and the atmosphere of the banquet soon became lively. Wang Guixiao and Wang Xiulin were waiting cautiously on the side, Wang Guixiao was familiar with Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun, and they often drank together, but they didn't feel anything special, they were just doing their duty as a master.
However, Wang Xiulin's performance seems to be a little restrained, he has been silent, and he also drinks with others, but he rarely eats vegetables, and his eyes have been wandering around Qian Jin. When Wang Xiulin used to work as a handyman with Director Zhao Zhiqiang in the Education Commission Office, he still had a good relationship with Deputy Director Sun, but Wang Xiulin drank with Qian Jin, the new director of the Hushan Town Education Committee, for the first time.

After Qian Jin toasted three glasses according to the rules of the wine table in the Hushan area, the next thing should be the host Wang Guixiao to toast, but after Wang Xiulin muttered a few words in Wang Guixiao's ear, he took the wine glass first.
"Two leaders," Wang Xiulin picked up his glass and said, "I'm sorry, Xiulin grabbed a shot first, on behalf of my second uncle, thank the two leaders for coming, and Xiulin was very excited to drink at the same table with the two leaders." Especially Director Qian, Xiulin has heard of your prestige for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to sit together, today I take this opportunity, Xiulin thanks the two leaders for their face, and also thanks the two leaders for taking care of Xiulin at work, Xiulin is hereby thanked!"
After speaking, Wang Xiulin bowed to Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun with a wine glass, after all, Deputy Director Sun was familiar with Wang Xiulin, and he was also familiar with Wang Xiulin's personality and temper, so he calmly accepted Wang Xiulin's prayer. But Qian Jin is different, this is the second time Qian Jin has sat with Wang Xiulin, although he has eaten Wang Xiulin's old corn and little rooster, but Qian Jin really has no impression of Wang Xiulin, and he really hasn't done anything for Wang Xiulin, so Qian Jin feels a little ashamed of Wang Xiulin's worship.
"Two leaders, the next thing is Xiulin's toast, I toast three times in a row, the two leaders are at will!" Wang Xiulin said, raising his glass and bending down to clink glasses with Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun, and then raised his glass and drank it all. After drinking the first glass of wine, Wang Xiulin did not sit down, continued to stand there, and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Wang Xiulin's boldness in drinking made Qian Jin appreciate it very much, although it was three glasses of beer, but one cup was a catty, and three glasses were two bottles of beer, so he went on like this?
Qian Jin is also a temperamental person, and his emotions were quickly infected by Wang Xiulin's arrogance, and while constantly appreciating Wang Xiulin, he urged Deputy Director Sun and Wang Guixiao to drink three beers with him.
3.
After six cups of beer, a roasted hare was also eaten up by Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun, Qian Jin proposed to drink some hot tea to rest for a while, Wang Guixiao quickly got up and poured tea.
Wang Xiulin got up and said goodbye to Qian Jin and Deputy Director Sun, saying that he had something to go out and would come back soon to accompany Qian Jin and them to continue drinking. Qian Jin did not object to Wang Xiulin's departure, but just told Wang Xiulin to go back quickly, and to make up for all the wine owed when he came back, Wang Xiulin naturally smiled and agreed.
After saying goodbye to Qian Jin and others, Wang Xiulin went out of the hall, carefully pushed Wang Guixiao's motorcycle parked in the yard out of the yard, started the motorcycle, and then stepped on the accelerator and slipped away.
