Chapter 252: Eat beef stew with turnips today
In addition to going to the company to supervise the progress of the project, Chen Xu sits in front of the office almost every day to draw design drawings, so he has to squeeze out an hour every day to approve all major decision-making projects of the group. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Dasan is standing at the door every day on duty, as if the wooden sculpture is standing for half a day, which looks very hard, but in fact, this guy often leans on the door frame and pretends to sleep. Compared with Chen Xu's brainpower-consuming work all day long, it is so easy to stand still every day.
After working together for a long time, the two of them are no longer simply colleagues, but have become good friends and good brothers, Chen Dasan will often persuade Chen Xu to rest more, the work is not finished, the body is the capital of the revolution, and there are too many overdrafts desperately, and it is too late to regret it on the day of collapse.
Chen Dasan knew how hard Chen Xu worked every day, so he deliberately lowered the speed of the car and tried to grasp the steering wheel as smoothly as possible, just so that Chen Xu could rest for a while, and when he went home later, he would become a workaholic again, working until late at night.
However, no matter how slow the speed is, the Banshan Palace in Yuelu Mountain is only twenty miles away from the Panda Industrial Park, and it is only half an hour to pass through the city.
Chen Xu remembers that when he returned from the Soviet Union by train, the main road connecting the railway station, Xiangjiang Bridge, and Yuelu Mountain in the entire Xiangping City was still paved with cinders.
The quality of the hard cement pavement is still very good, and flower beds are built on both sides of the roadside, which the citizens of Xiangping like very much. Who knew that the good times would not last long, and the representatives of the municipal government who came back from the investigation in Europe felt very shabby and textureless when they saw this gray cement road. He immediately ordered the engineering team to knock out all the cement pavement with a percussion drill and replace it with a black asphalt road, which was connected to the international level.
I don't know if it's inexperience or cutting corners, the road is not repaired! In less than three months, the road surface has been crushed into potholes, full of spider web-like cracks, obvious tofu slag project.
The mayor personally supervised the six-story pavement structure with the highest standards, and paved a new asphalt road, and the quality of the road was completely fine, and the road surface was still smooth and withstood the test of time after a few months.
However, Chen Xu knows that this road will be stripped off and resurfaced again in a few years, not to mention that the road is too narrow to only eight lanes, and the city will definitely be widened again when it develops, and the drainage pipes will be dug again, and it will inevitably be dug up again when the subway is built, and the large-scale demolition and construction will never end.
In short, this is a common problem of domestic officials, and urban construction is becoming more and more modern in this way of constantly digging and digging, which is not a bad thing but it is never a good thing, after all, such repeated construction wastes money from the state treasury.
However, Chen Xu believes that it is a good thing that the government has the confidence to continue to engage in infrastructure construction, which proves that the country's economy is booming.
When such construction stops one day, it is the time when the people should really be anxious, because the government has no money, the country's economy has stopped advancing, and the government has no money, how can the people be better, and soon everyone will have to tighten their belts to live a poor life, so let them waste it!
The new asphalt road will soon come to an end, and after Yuelu Mountain is the national highway out of the city, and now it is only a dirt road that is not so easy to walk.
The convoy turned a corner and went up to Mt. Yuelu, shuttling through the lush forest roads in the mountains, and I don't know whether the city government was a sycophant or something, and the asphalt road led all the way to the mountain, and then down the back mountain all the way to Shonan University.
Passing through the antique archway surrounded by two century-old pine trees, the convoy creaked to a stop on a concrete playground, which is the front lawn of the palace in the middle of the mountain.
The main building of the main entrance of the Banshan Palace was only built with four floors, not that it could not be built higher, but in order to fit the mountain of Yuelu Mountain, the height could only be sacrificed to maintain the overall beauty. The ground floor is full of large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the reception hall inside, and the upstairs rooms can be used for living and working. If the group has a major meeting, the senior executives scattered all over the country will come here in advance and stay for a day or two to wait for the meeting to be held.
At the intersection of the palace in the middle of the mountain, there are military policemen standing guard, and their submachine guns hanging on their chests have clearly told tourists who climb the mountain that this place is not allowed to enter.
The security of the palace building is tighter, and guards will patrol the palace from time to time.
When Chen Xu walked into the hall, a group of soldiers happened to patrol back, and the soldier at the front was holding a purebred black-backed wolf dog imported from Germany. This thing stuck out its tongue, and its paws made a "popping" sound on the marble floor tiles, and the big dog immediately wanted to come over and make love when he saw Chen Xu, but was stopped by the soldiers behind. The three big wolf dogs of the security team were all fed by Chen Xu as pets, and these guys knew that there would always be something delicious around Chen Xu, and they would always wag their tails enthusiastically when they saw him.
Chen Xu walked over and touched the big dog's head, then took off his coat and handed it to Chen Dasan, walked out of the back door of the hall, and came to a "king" shaped building along a wooden corridor. This is the barracks of the security forces, and the soldiers on duty usually train and sleep in it, because of its popularity, the barracks is the most lively place in the palace.
Passing through a garden again, you will come to Chen Xu's personal residential area, which is also the area with the most manpower arranged by the security forces, not only Chen Xu works and sleeps in it every day, but also hides a large number of confidential drawings in the building, and leaking one is a major accident, so safety is the top priority.
Chen Xu's area consists of three small antique buildings, arranged in a row, connected by an arched bridge, one for his living, one for his work and study, and the outermost one for important drawings and materials.
The three small buildings are surrounded by high walls, there is a high-voltage power grid on the wall, and dozens of monitors and sensors are installed in a fashionable way, and there are two or three guards standing guard in the corridor outside each small building, working in shifts 24 hours a day.
Chen Xu's bedroom is very simple, with wooden floors, beige walls, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that can directly see the empty Xiangping City and the winding Xiangjiang River. Areas of the city were constantly being razed to the ground, and then dozens of storey buildings were soon built, and people were constantly demolishing and building in the city like ants, and the city became more and more modern.
Chen Xu wakes up every day and opens his eyes to see such a beautiful scenery, this room can be said to be the best place in the whole Xiangping scenery, there is no one.
Chen Xu's office and study are nearly 200 square meters of super large rooms connected together, and more than ten mahogany bookshelves occupy most of the space, and the furnishings and layouts are very classical. But there are all modern science and engineering books, which are convenient for Chen Xu to flip through and find information at any time. On one side of the huge floor-to-ceiling window is a three-meter-long and wide desk, which can be used as a double bed, and on the table is a ruler compass, a pen holder, and a rolled-up special drawing paper, which is very simple.
The only thing that stands out is a small shelf more than a foot high on the table, on which hangs a mechanical watch with a brass crystal ball that is worthy of a grip. The Omega logo and unique number on it indicate that it is a limited edition rarity from 1882.
Because the shape is spherical and cannot be carried around like a pocket watch, Chen Xu made a handmade shelf and hung it on the desk to watch the time. This crystal ball watch is also the treasure of the congressman George Marcus who was killed by Chen Xu, Chen Xu saw that it was quite fun, so he hung it on the desk, and the decorative effect was heavier.
Chen Xu works and rests in such a spacious and comfortable environment every day, I have to say that it is really very comfortable, even if my grandfather likes it here after coming a few times, I can't wait to move here, I wake up every day to face the sea, spring flowers are blooming, such days can live for a few more years.
According to Chen Dasan, Chen Xu lies on the desk every day to draw, and only stops for five minutes every hour, turns around and looks at the scenery outside the window, let his eyes rest for a while, and then start working again, with a beautiful scenery behind him, but the owner rarely has the leisure to enjoy it, and most of the time he consumes time on busy documents and drawings.
"What's for dinner?" Seeing Chen Xu go upstairs to get ready to work, Chen Dashan hung the coat in his hand on the hanger at the door and asked.
"Let's eat beef stew with white radish! It is comfortable to eat this thing in the big winter. Chen Xu stood in the middle of the stairs, put one hand on the handrail, touched his head with the other, and thought for a long time before saying.
In daily life, only what dishes to eat at each meal can make Chen Xu think about it a little, after all, as a foodie, if the meal is not to his liking, he will be bored at work, not to mention that the time to eat every day is the rest time he is most looking forward to. In fact, what the entire Mid-Levels Palace eats every day is according to Chen Xu's meaning, he wants to eat radish beef stew, and all the people in the Mid-Levels Palace will also eat it. The chef in the kitchen is indeed a master of Hunan cuisine, unless there is a small stove under special circumstances, Chen Xu basically eats the dishes in the same pot with the soldiers.
In fact, this is also a measure to protect Chen Xu, every time he eats, the soldiers move their chopsticks ten minutes in advance, if someone poisons the dish, they will already react, with so many poison tests, Chen Xu can basically avoid the possibility of the food being poisoned.
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain and buy the beef back immediately, and if I sell vegetables later, I'll close the stall." Chen Dasan nodded, he was already thinking about buying some lo-mei for the tooth sacrifice later.
Usually, in order to replenish Chen Xu's brain, the cook basically either eats fish or stews chicken, but the nutrition is satisfied, but the bird can fade out of his mouth. The guards in the palace are all from special forces, and they are all young people who don't like to eat delicious dishes, but the cook takes care of Chen Xu's health, almost every day is stew, and occasionally stir-fried spicy dishes also depend on the mood of the cook, the soldiers are miserable, so they have to go to the vegetable market in the university town under the mountain to buy some sauce plate duck, braised beef, braised chicken feet and other tooth-beating sacrifices to eat.
