Chapter 42, Chaozhou Laiguan
As soon as Yanzi and Yanzi walked out of Tangyuan to prepare for separation, Yanzi and I were walking out of the gate of Liuhua Park when I received a call from Da Niu.
Da Niu first asked me on the phone, have you seen Xiao Yan? I said that I had just finished eating with Xiao Yan. Da Niu said that he was on the way to Suicheng, and went to Suicheng at about 6 o'clock in the evening, and went directly to the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee of Jianshe Liuma Road to report, and he wanted to study for two days, he also called Xiaoyan, and originally made an appointment with three people to have dinner tomorrow night, Xiaoyan said that she would go to Zhuhai early tomorrow morning, and there was an interview and an appointment task, and I don't know if she could rush back by then. I said okay, then we'll see you tomorrow night.
At 6 o'clock the next night, I arrived at the restaurant "Chaozhou Restaurant" that I had agreed with Da Niu on time.
This restaurant is located in Zhanqian Road, is the only one in Suicheng with the purest taste of Chaozhou Lai restaurant, all the chefs are found in Hai Duong, and the master level basically has to hold a special chef certificate or above. The ingredients in the restaurant are also directly sourced from the local area, which ensures the original taste of Teochew cuisine, and of course, the production process is also very particular and excellent.
Teochew cuisine is one of the world's eight famous cuisines, known for its fine methods and exquisite materials, mainly light, paying attention to the color, flavor and flavor, and the condiments and sauces of the dishes are also special. In particular, every dish, the flowers, birds, insects and fish carved with vegetables and fruits on each plate are lifelike, and the master's knife work is first-class, which is also a special art, which is pleasing to the eye and increases the appetite. All kinds of snacks of Teochew cuisine are also famous all over the world, and when you eat here, you can eat almost all the more famous Teochew snacks.
All the green vegetables in this restaurant are supplied by the pollution-free green vegetable base of 10,000 mu in Sanjiang Town, Benyi.
The most famous old radish dried water and dried radish crucian carp soup here are made from the original dried radish of the famous seafood in Sanjiang Town, and it is a pure natural green food, which is a world of difference compared to drinks containing a lot of additives. This is supplied by Cai's food in Cantonese Province, and the ten, twenty, and thirty years of secret old radish dried radish of the people is even more very medicinal value. All kinds of green organic vegetables without pesticide residues are picked by farmers in Sanjiang Town at three or four o'clock in the morning and sent directly by air to ensure absolute freshness. Because this restaurant has always been the reception restaurant of the local municipal government in the provincial office, it often has reception tasks, so the grade is correspondingly higher.
As soon as I sat down, Da Niu also arrived, and he came in with a Minister of Culture of the Propaganda Department of the Haiyang County Party Committee who had come to study, and Da Niu also brought a bottle of water from the well shop.
Da Niu introduced Minister Wen to me, I got up and gave up my seat, shook hands with Minister Wen, and exchanged greetings, and his first impression was good. Da Niu introduced: "Minister Wen Zhongfu, under the age of 40, young talent! Born as a teacher, he crossed the line a few years ago, and served as the secretary of the old mayor of the Shangjie Municipal Government. After the big cow introduced, he went to order.
I saw that Minister Wen was thin and polite, but he was as famous as he was, and he also had a good impression. got up again, shook hands with Minister Wen and said: "Fortunately, fortunately, Da Niu Miaozan, just an ordinary painter, today I have a fate, and I am honored to dine with Mr. Wen." ”
Minister Wen said: "I remember that two years ago, I went to the capital for training and study. Once, a female classmate who worked in the New Silk Road Model Agency and was also engaged in brand promotion in the fashion industry suddenly mentioned Mr. Zhong's name to me, saying that he seemed to be from Haiyang, and asked me if I knew you. I was very ashamed, but my mind was blank, and I didn't have any information about you, so I lost the opportunity to visit and ask for advice. Until last night, the stationmaster of Da Niu shared a room with me, asked you out for dinner, and said that you had just gone to Sanjiang Town last month to collect sketches. As soon as I heard your name, I remembered what my classmate mentioned when I was studying in Kyoto two years ago, and I don't know if my classmate mentioned him? Tonight is also a good fortune to meet a heavyweight celebrity who came out of our Sanjiang! Thank you. I also hope that Mr. Zhong will go back to his hometown more often and make more contributions to Sangzi. ”
"The minister raises love, it is indeed Zhong, in fact, he is also a very ordinary person, and he has always been very low-key, plus he has been abroad for more than ten years, and he has not returned to the motherland for a few years, so among my classmates, basically no one knows my identity, including Da Niu and Xiao Yan. I also implore the minister, don't reveal your true identity in front of the big bull, thank you very much!"
Minister Wen said, "Okay, understood. I'll do it. I said to the minister, "Thank you!"
At this time, Da Niu also came back from ordering, sat down on a chair, and bent on the chair with one foot. He couldn't wait to turn on the wine he brought, asked the waiter to bring three small white wine glasses, rolled up his sleeves like a farmer did farm work, poured wine into the wine glasses, and then shouted loudly for the food to come up. The diners around him all looked at us, but Da Niu ignored it, and then took out a pack of soft-shell Chinese, took out a cigarette and smoked it, Minister Wen and I didn't smoke.
At this time, a beautiful waitress came over and said politely to Da Niu: "Sir, the air conditioning is open here, for the sake of your health and the health of others, please do not smoke, thank you." ”
Da Niu blushed and looked at the "No Smoking" sign on the wall, and desperately "Porphyry" took a few more puffs, before throwing less than half of the Chinese cigarettes on the ground with a pity on his face, and vigorously stepping on it with his feet, the ground was a small piece of black, and Da Niu still chanted words: "What a broken restaurant, what's so great, don't let you smoke." After he said this, he glanced at me and Minister Wen embarrassedly, and a very uncomfortable smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
After the cow's cigarette butts were extinguished, the beautiful waiter squatted down, picked up the cow's cigarette butts, and wiped the ground soiled by the cow with a paper towel. The big cow's face turned red like a red tomato all of a sudden. Minister Wen and I looked at each other and shook our heads.
Soon, the waiter brought the food ordered by the big cow. I look at the dishes ordered by the big cow, which also suit my appetite, a few special snacks are taro silk cake, rat shell fruit, no rice crackers and glutinous rice cakes, the main dish is crucian carp and radish soup, soy sauce lion head goose intestines, iron plate oysters and stir-fried sweet potato leaves with garlic.
During the banquet, Da Niu first raised his glass and said to the Minister of Culture: "Ministry of Culture, the first glass of wine, first respect our leaders, thank the leaders for their consistent support and care for my work, and at the same time, also respect my old classmate, today we have the fate to drink together, we are happy, come and come, I will drink first as a respect." After the big cow said, he took a dry mouthful. Minister Wen and I also raised our glasses, said "yes" in unison, and drank a glass with Da Niu.
Da Niu was happy, lifted the wine bottle and filled it with wine, and said: "Ministry of Culture, it's not my old Cui bragging, our classmates are iron buddies from childhood to adulthood, Lao Zhong's business is my business, and my business is his business." Last time I went back to Sanjiang to sketch, I greeted him thoughtfully, took him to see a lot of places, and introduced the cultural heritage, folk customs, and beautiful scenery of our Sanjiang to several big painters from BJ, and they also painted a lot of good paintings, and also painted a big picture, called Sanjiang Scenic Spot, but unfortunately I gave it to our county senior officials, saying that it was given to the city leaders. To tell the truth, if I am not a person who is engaged in culture, other people may not have this ability, and I can entertain the great painters from Beijing! At least I am also a cultural person, and Han Zhe is my classmate, how far can I go? Han Zhe, do you say yes? Come, let's have another drink. ”
Minister Wen picked up the cup and said, "Yes, yes, Stationmaster Cui has always worked well, which everyone knows." Mr. Zhong, I am meeting him for the first time, but I believe that Mr. Zhong, just like you said, is a cultural celebrity in Sanjiang and even this province, and the pride of our Haiyang County! ”
After Minister Wen finished speaking, I also picked up my glass and said, "Thank you, leader, thank you, Da Niu, I blushed when I said it." Last time I went to Sanjiang, I really want to thank Da Niu for your hospitality, Sanjiang is indeed a good place. Thank you again, Da Niu! Thank you, Minister Wen! In the future, if there is a place where my hometown can be useful, I will definitely do my best despite the orders. Okay, let's drink together. The three of them drank it all.
Minister Wen put a dish in my bowl and said, "Mr. Zhong, what do you think of your hometown when you come to Sanjiang this time? or what suggestions do you have? or development projects or plans that can help Sanjiang improve its economic income and popularity, you may wish to express some opinions, which is also a kind of help to your hometown." ”
As soon as Minister Wen's words fell, Da Niu immediately followed Minister Wen's words and said: "Yes, the minister is right! Lao Zhong, you have seen a lot of things, and you have made many suggestions and contributions to the development of your hometown. ”
When I heard it in my heart, this old Cui is really good at sycophancy.
Minister Wen said, "Yes, Mr. Zhong must have been touched by his last trip back to his hometown, right?" He looked at me, waiting for me to reply.
I said, "If you want to talk about a project or a development plan or something like that, there is no mature and complete plan yet. First, Sanjiang is a place that has not been really damaged by urbanization and industrialization, that is, it is still relatively primitive, which is a manifestation of backwardness and is also worth celebrating, and the people of Sanjiang still retain the traditional virtues of industriousness and simplicity. Second, rural tourism with local traditional cultural characteristics will be a kind of interest. Third, in the past 30 years or so of reform and opening up, China's traditional culture has been completely discarded...... With the return and attention of traditional culture, it will certainly be promoted to the national level in the near future, that is to say, the state will vigorously promote and develop culture as an industry, so as to achieve the strategic goal of cultural export and even cultural aggression. Fourth, tourism is the leading industry of the country in the 21st century, and it is a smoke-free industry, and it will certainly be an economic growth point in the future. Fifth, the support of characteristic industries is the general direction of the country. In view of these points, the government should try its best to cater to the policies, and even study and judge the policies in advance, so as to adapt measures to local conditions, make use of some unique natural conditions, and formulate comprehensive plans suitable for long-term development. I think that at this stage, there are no supporting cultural facilities, and it is still too early to develop the cultural industry, and now we should make a fuss about the original ecology, but we can first develop the original ecological characteristic tourism, beautiful rural tourism, or the cultural tradition of overseas Chinese Houyi to find their roots. In terms of industry, due to the weak foundation of Sanjiang, it is not appropriate to increase efforts, however, Sanjiang should make a fuss about the advantages of some traditional industries, such as Sanjiang's yarn tide embroidery process, bead embroidery wedding dress, evening dress, etc., which is called loud in the country, and won the Muni Black Gold Award, so it should be well used to apply for national intangible cultural heritage, the mark of origin, and promote the inheritance, which is also a valuable cultural wealth. In addition, the cultural monuments of Sanjiang Town, such as Sanyuan Pagoda, Jixiang Temple, Guandi Temple, Tianhou Temple in Sanyuan Village, Sanyi Emperor's Palace, and even the Taoyuanli Mansion of the Horse Trailer, etc., must be protected, which is also the carrier and embodiment of folk culture. B&Bs, art tribes, and art villages will also be a trend. The green countryside cannot be destroyed, and if there is an opportunity, some large-scale comprehensive activities can also be introduced here as a venue or background. For example, the catwalk of the catwalk of the fashion show, or the external environment of the modelling competition, can be carried out in the countryside and in the green ecology, and I have resources in this regard. And doing an original fashion show in the countryside is also more bright and fresh. The holding of large-scale comprehensive activities can suddenly increase the popularity of Sanjiang. And this kind of influential large-scale event, or the organization of national famous artists to paint the three rivers, I can try to coordinate and integrate. In short, in the final analysis, the preservation of the original ecology is very important. ”
I said so much in one breath, and Minister Wen and Da Niu listened very carefully. The big bull's mouth was wide and round, his eyes were wide open, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "I'll just say, Hanzhe is a great person!"
At this time, Minister Wen also stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake my hand, smiled and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." After I go back, I will put some of your comments into written materials and send them to the main leaders as an important reference for the overall development of Sanjiang New Area in the future. Thank you!"
I said, "It's just a little bit of immature ideas and opinions, not necessarily to the point, just for reference, just for reference?"
Everyone drank a few more glasses of sprinkling, and it was not too early to see that the time was not early, Da Niu said, the collective study should not come out, and it should not be too late to go back, so he didn't wait for Xiaoyan, and then after eating, the two of them quit and I called back.
