Chapter 152: An Awkward Lunch

Wei Hailong had already sent someone to arrange it, and during the time of their meeting, many people worked to clean the originally dilapidated and dirty canteen in a short period of time, the cement floor was cleaned, and the tables were covered with brand-new disposable tablecloths, which looked quite like that.

After Xu Minglei walked in, he smiled and said: "Hailong, your canteen is doing a good job! I remember the last time I went to Damen Town to investigate, I also had a meal in their canteen, their canteen is bigger and more spacious than yours, but the sanitary conditions are not as good as yours." ”

Wei Hailong said modestly: "Damen Town is close to the county seat, and the economic development is good, we can't compare with Damen Town in hardware, so we can only work software." ”

"Hehe, that's good. Just like on the battlefield, when the troops are insufficient, the frontal attack cannot be attacked, then the side attack, if the side attack is not enough, then the three-dimensional attack, in short, use more brains to make up for their own disadvantages, it is a success. Not bad!Not bad!" Xu Minglei sighed and sat down at a table.

In addition to Kong Yanjun, director of the county party committee office, the leaders of several county bureaus in the county who followed Xu Minglei to the countryside for research also sat down at this table, and Wei Hailong and Gao Kun accompanied him.

Lao Zhu was busy for more than half an hour in high spirits, and the dishes were almost ready, so they were served the same.

Stir-fried donkey meat, spicy fried lamb tripe, cold cucumber shreds, vermicelli white radish, all of them are very bright, and they are also neatly placed.

The rest of the hard dishes, such as stewed local chicken, braised carp and Lao Zhu's favorite steamed bowl, all take time and have not yet been prepared.

Wei Hailong asked someone to bring a box of corolla stock solution, and said: "Secretary Xu, you are our parent official in Liulin County, so I won't prepare Moutai and Wuliangye for Secretary Xu, and only drink our hometown wine." ”

Xu Minglei said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't drink at noon, but when I came to Hailong today, I would make an exception and drink some of our hometown wine!"

Wei Hailong looked very happy and said, "Thank you Secretary Xu for supporting our work!"

Since it was a private occasion, Xu Minglei was more casual and asked, "Hailong, do I drink to support your work?"

Wei Hailong also said in words: "Now our country vigorously advocates the development of productive forces, and drinking alcohol is also an important way to develop productive forces!"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed.

Secretary Xu pointed at Wei Hailong and smiled: "You are a sea dragon, there are a lot of crooked reasons." ”

In addition to Xu Minglei's table, first-level team members such as Dong Guoqing, Guo Yufeng, Ma Wei, and middle-level cadres such as Chen Qingdong and Zhou Dashan also sat down at other tables in the canteen at Xu Minglei's request, but their dishes are not as good as Xu Minglei's table, each table only has two meat, two vegetables and four dishes, plus one steamed bowl per person, which is quite rich.

It's just that these tables are just eating, and they don't have the right to drink.

Chen Qingdong and Guo Yufeng sat at a table, and after the food came up, Guo Yufeng said: "Let's not drink anyway, let's eat directly." Qingdong, you go to the cafeteria and get two plates of steamed buns. ”

"Okay, Guo Zhen!" Chen Qingdong said.

After Chen Qingdong came to the cafeteria, he saw that Lao Zhu was busy and sweaty, so he said to a woman who was doing small work: "Aunt Xie, are the steamed buns ready, let's get a few first." ”

Aunt Xie said: "It's ready to be distilled right away, I'll get it for you." ”

Lao Zhu also heard Chen Qingdong's voice, and hurriedly turned around and said flatteringly: "Yo, it's Secretary Chen! The stewed local chicken will be ready soon, I'll give you a bowl first, and eat it in the cafeteria." ”

When Chen Qingdong came to Shuangshan Town to report, because Wei Hailong was very unkind to him, and scolded him in public, I didn't know how to leak this matter at that time, and the staff of the town almost knew about it, Lao Zhu was even more of a person who saw the wind, every time Chen Qingdong came to the canteen to eat, he looked like he ignored him, and sometimes he looked sneering.

Chen Qingdong endured it and never clashed with him.

Because Chen Qingdong knows very well that his future is limitless, and Lao Zhu will still be a chef ten years later, if he is as knowledgeable as such a person, it is really too low.

At that time, in the face of the cold eyes of people like Wei Hailong, Li Tong, deputy director of the Personnel Bureau, and even this Lao Zhu, Chen Qingdong also recorded a famous dialogue between Buddhist monks in his diary to encourage himself: There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, and lie to me.

After less than two months, Chen Qingdong secretly agreed with the spirit of the county party committee, recruited businessmen to Shuangshan Town, and coordinated the construction of a green field farm in Shuangshan Town, so his status in the town has greatly increased, and even Wei Hailong has no blame for Chen Qingdong, who once contradicted him in front of the deputy county magistrate, and greatly reused him, and after a period of time, he was directly promoted to the secretary of the Youth League Committee and became a stock-level cadre!

Since then, Lao Zhu may have realized that Chen Qingdong's future is limitless, and sooner or later, he may find food under Chen Qingdong's hands, so his attitude towards Chen Qingdong immediately took a 180-degree turn.

Every time Chen Qingdong came to the canteen to eat, Lao Zhu would take the initiative to greet Chen Qingdong, and he was full of smiles and respect, and he gave Chen Qingdong a lot more dishes than others.

However, Chen Qingdong has never had a good impression of Lao Zhu, not only because of Lao Zhu's contempt and slow treatment of him in the past, but also because he delayed Lao Zhu's character of seeing the wind and steering the rudder and not wanting any face at all. In addition, Chen Qingdong also knew that Lao Zhu's personal style was also very problematic, with the help of earning a few small money in the government's canteen, he often gambled and prostituted, and it is said that he also wanted to masturbate a young girl who came to help in the canteen, but the little girl resolutely refused, so Lao Zhu drove him away.

Because of this information, Chen Qingdong couldn't have any good impression of Lao Zhu.

So in the face of Lao Zhu's smiling face, Chen Qingdong just said politely: "No need, Master Zhu." This is a local chicken stewed for Secretary Xu, how dare I eat it first?"

Lao Zhu may be in a hurry to reverse the impression in Chen Qingdong's heart, but he still looks unwilling, and continues to persuade: "It's okay! Secretary Chen, I'll pick a few pieces of good meat for you to put in a bowl, you eat it in the kitchen, and no one can see it." ”

Chen Qingdong naturally wouldn't steal it like a thief in the kitchen for a bowl of chicken, not to mention, this is chicken stewed for the secretary of the county party committee, and the secretary of the county party committee is still sitting outside, what is it like to be seen by others when he steals food inside? I really don't know what this old Zhu thinks!

"No need, Master Zhu. Chen Qingdong said again, then walked to the side and said to Aunt Xie, "Aunt Xie, let's see if the steamed buns are ready, Guo Zhen and they are waiting to return it." ”

"Alright! Alright!" Aunt Xie responded, while taking a basket of steamed buns for Chen Qingdong to pick up slowly, and asked, "Is this enough? ”

"Enough. Chen Qingdong smiled, "You guys are busy, I'll go out first." ”

"Hey, Secretary Chen, the steaming bowl will be ready soon, waiting to eat the steaming bowl!" Lao Zhu shouted again.

"Good. Chen Qingdong said with a smile, in fact, for a person of Lao Zhu's level, he didn't even have any interest in getting angry with Lao Zhu.

After returning to the restaurant, Chen Qingdong and others began to eat with steamed buns, and within a few minutes, the steaming bowl was served, this time the steaming bowl was made of bacon crispy lotus, which is also Lao Zhu's most steamed bowl, every year Lao Zhu had to kill a few pigs in order to make bacon, and his bacon was really good, but it was not very hygienic, often hung outside, and after drying, it was piled up in the warehouse, and I don't know if there were insects crawling inside.

For this reason, the leaders in the town also gave Lao Zhu several suggestions, asking him to clean up and not to put it casually, but Lao Zhu listened to it at first, but within a few days, it was back to the original state, and Lao Zhu also has a set of his own rhetoric, anyway, these bacon will not be bad, there is no problem to put it there, before cooking, he will also rinse it several times, so there will be no unhygienic situation.

Eating in a place like a cafeteria or restaurant is out of sight, so after a long time, everyone will become accustomed to it, and no one will say anything.

After the steaming bowl was served, of course, it was to be sent to Xu Minglei's table first.

Just at the dinner table, Wei Hailong wanted Xu Minglei not to have an opinion about him really arranging to eat in the canteen, so he praised Master Zhu's skills in the canteen, especially the steaming bowl he made, which made Xu Minglei and others very interested.

After the steaming bowl came up, Wei Hailong first picked the one with the best quality and put it in front of Xu Minglei, and then distributed it to other leaders of the county unit in turn.

"Secretary Xu, try it, this is a bacon crispy lotus root steaming bowl, the bacon is made by Lao Zhu himself, there are absolutely no additives, healthy and hygienic. Wei Hailong introduced.

Xu Minglei picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of bacon in his mouth, chewed it, and exclaimed: "Not bad! This bacon is very good, very strong, and the steaming bowl is also very delicious, it is really good." Don't be stunned, you can eat too!"

Seeing Xu Minglei say this, Wei Hailong became happy and beckoned to the others: "Come! Come on! Director Kong, all get off the chopsticks!"

When everyone was eating with relish, Zhang Li, deputy director of the County Water Conservancy Bureau, who was sitting next to Gao Kun, suddenly couldn't help but tilt her head and spit out, everyone was immediately stunned, and Wei Hailong's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he hurriedly asked, "Director Zhang, are you okay?"

Gao Kun quickly glanced at her bowl, and saw that in Zhang Li's bowl, between two slices of bacon, there was a cooked bed bug!

Gao Kun's face immediately changed, he picked up Zhang Li's bowl and said, "Director Zhang, I'll go change it for you!"

After speaking, he immediately walked to the kitchen with Zhang Li's bowl.

Zhang Li had also recovered from vomiting at this time, seeing that the scene was so ugly, and Xu Minglei had already eaten bacon, she naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and quickly explained: "It's okay! It's okay! I'm a little uncomfortable, and the food just now is a little too greasy, hehe." ”

Although Zhang Li explained, in fact, everyone guessed what was going on, and they stopped their chopsticks one after another, and the scene immediately became extremely embarrassing!

Wei Hailong already had the urge to greet Lao Zhu in his heart!

Xu Minglei's face also changed, the chopsticks had already been lifted and were about to catch the bacon, but he moved the chopsticks to the side and grabbed a few cucumber shreds, relieved Wei Hailong, and said, "Come, have a drink." ”

Wei Hailong couldn't explain more, so he raised his glass in embarrassment.

As a result, the meal was very awkward, Xu Minglei only drank one glass of wine, and said that he would go to other towns and towns in the afternoon to see, so he didn't drink it anymore, and that bowl of steaming was just the first bite of it, and the rest didn't move again, and Kong Yanjun and others did the same.

After lunch and sending Xu Minglei and the others away, Wei Hailong immediately returned to the office with a black face and informed Lao Zhu to go to his office!
