When I left Xiliu County, the time was close to five o'clock, although the schedule was very tight and efficient, but because it was a little late from Guishui County, the itinerary was still a little rushed.

Even so, Yao Bingxin's complete satisfaction was still not reached. To arrange Yao Bingxin's idea, he also went to factories and supermarkets to see the lives of the people on the spot. But if this is the case, the plan to rush to Qinghe City at night will become difficult, and Xiliu County simply does not have the ability to receive such a high-level leader, so it can only choose between returning to Guishui County or returning to Shanyin City. However, no matter how you choose, you will need to take a detour, which will also bring more uncertainty to tomorrow's trip, especially the safety and security work, which will also add more variables.

This is what Qi Tianxiang does not want to see, after all, Yao Bingxin, as the main person in charge of the State Council's handling of water pollution accidents, has no small responsibility for any mistakes in Hehai Province, and Qi Tianxiang does not want to make extraneous branches.

After the inspection of the environmental monitoring point, Qi Tianxiang boarded the medium-sized bus with Yao Bingxin, and glanced at his watch intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Tao Ran and asked seriously: "How many kilometers is there from here to Qinghe City, and how much time does it take?" ”

Tao Ran knew Qi Tianxiang's question, and replied almost without thinking: "Xiliu County borders Lingshui County under the jurisdiction of Qinghe City, if you take the county and township roads, you can go directly there, there is also a distance of seventy or eighty kilometers, and it will take more than an hour's drive!" When you arrive in Lingshui County, it is estimated that you will have to live somewhere, and Qinghe City is still more than 100 kilometers away! ”

After hearing this, Qi Tianxiang nodded to Tao Ran with satisfaction, turned his face to look at Yao Bingxin, and asked tentatively: "What is Minister Yao's next step, are we going back to Guishui County to stay at night?" Or do you want to leave for Qinghe City now? ”

Of course, Yao Bingxin understood the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, so he glanced at the watch on his wrist unintentionally, and said with a little surprise: "It's more than five o'clock, time flies so fast, I really want to see a few more points!" It's not good to let the comrades in Qinghe City wait, so let's listen to Governor Qi's arrangement! ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Bingxin with a slight smile, and then instructed Zhou Tong, who was sitting behind him: "Inform Lao Pan and Jin Long of Qinghe City, let them greet Minister Yao in Lingshui County!" ”

Seeing Zhou Tong nodding in agreement, Qi Tianxiang said to Tao Ran again: "Go to the front and get off the car for a few of you from Shanyin City!" In the next few days, as Minister Yao emphasized, the people's livelihood should be guaranteed, and the more the water source situation improves, the more necessary it is to prevent the emergence of slackness and think that the dangerous situation has passed. As the municipal party committee and government, we must pay attention to this point, and resolutely do not see a resurgence without completely lifting the vigilance. ”

Tao Ran nodded solemnly, didn't say anything, and knew that on such an occasion, it was superfluous to say anything, and only expression and attitude could explain the problem.

It was also at this time that the police car drove to the intersection of Xiliu County out of the county seat, slowed down first, and stopped slowly. Qi Tianxiang got out of the car slowly with Yao Bingxin, said goodbye to the cadres of Shanyin City and Xiliu County who saw him off, and shook hands tirelessly as usual, still with a cordial smile and ardent hope, and then re-boarded the medium-sized bus under the warm applause and cheers of everyone, and was guided by the police car to slowly leave everyone's field of vision and leave Xiliu County.

After the vehicle enters a smooth running state, especially when it returns to the mountains, green dominates the field of vision again, and monotony becomes the only feeling. Qi Tianxiang and Yao Bingxin and other leaders had no interest in talking, and the others didn't know what to say, and the carriage fell into an unbearable silence, which continued with the slight bump of the vehicle.

"If I'm not mistaken, Pingyuan County is also a county under the jurisdiction of Qinghe City!" As if to break the silence in the carriage, or perhaps to pass the loneliness of the journey, Yao Bingxin first asked: "I just don't know what kind of position is between Pingyuan County and Lingshui County?" ”

Yao Bingxin's question came casually, there was no specific question about a certain person, Qi Tianxiang's answer was obviously inconsistent with each other's identities, perhaps because he saw this delicate situation, Zhou Tong took the lead and asked: "Is Minister Yao familiar with Pingyuan County?" Pingyuan County and Lingshui County are on a horizontal line, I am not very familiar with this road, it should be about the same distance! ”

"It's so familiar that I can't say it's very familiar, but I've heard of it."

Seeing Zhou Tong answer his question, Yao Bingxin faced Zhou Tong and began to communicate. In fact, this is also a practice of communicating with multiple people, as long as someone answers, as long as there is a person to talk to.

Yao Bingxin smiled slightly and said lightly: "It is said that the hometown of a famous braided president here, and because of the inscription, a local famous food was born, called 'minced meat wearing yarn', which was hung on the lintel of a small shop on the street, and became a strange scenery, is there such a thing!" ”

Zhou Tong listened to Yao Bingxin's seemingly unbelievable words, and immediately tasted a different connotation, it seems that Yao Bingxin is not only interested in this snack, or the argument, but also has a deep intention, so he smiled and glanced at Qi Tianxiang, and said to Yao Bingxin: "These Qi governors should have some right to speak, he has conducted research in Pingyuan County, and he has feelings about this famous food." ”

Qi Tianxiang also heard the meaning of Yao Bingxin's words, saw that Zhou Tong quietly pushed the topic to himself, and knew that he was not good at answering rashly, so he withdrew his eyes from the window, looked at Zhou Tong, and then looked at Yao Bingxin, and said with a faint smile: "I am also a passerby, how can I have any right to speak!" Secretary-General Zhou: This is completely unfounded, and there is no basis in facts. ”

"This debater, or the president with braids, is not very wonderful in history, but this does not affect his calligraphy attainments, as well as his elegance and generosity." Qi Tianxiang saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he slowly opened the topic and said slowly: "Just like Minister Yao just said, the plaque does exist, and it is hung on the lintel of a small shop on the street of West Street in the county, but this is not all for the sake of vassal elegance, or the itchy inscription plaque is given away, but it is precisely the embodiment of the sympathy and compassion of the commander." At least that's what I think. ”

Qi Tianxiang pondered his words, looked at Yao Bingxin, and then explained: "The ancestor of the inscription is a chef who has been with him for decades, from Hehai to Beijing, and has never left. When he returned to his hometown, he did not give money or silver, but gave a plaque, one as an affirmation of the old chef's skills and deeds, and the other was to imitate the ancient literati painting fan to help people's taste, and sent such a plaque as a souvenir. It's also an anecdote, and the chef's descendants use it as a flaunt, so it's another matter. ”

Qi Tianxiang seemed to be very firm in his opinion, but he still said with a smile: "But no matter what, this plaque still justifies the name of this local snack in Pingyuan County, and it can also be regarded as an official affirmation." In fact, this is a local snack similar to Xiaoyao Town's Hu spicy soup, Xi'an mutton pickles, and Shanxi knife-cut noodles, which belong to a part of regional culture and also have a strong mass base. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, turned to Zhou Tong and ordered: "Make a phone call to see if Lao Pan and Jinlong have arrived in Lingshui County, if they are still on the road, let them wait in Pingyuan County!" Tomorrow morning, I would like to invite Minister Yao and all the distinguished guests to taste the 'minced meat and Chuansha' that has fallen from the soil of Pingyuan County. ”

Seeing that Zhou Tong nodded and started to contact, Qi Tianxiang withdrew his gaze and said to Yao Bingxin: "Actually, it's not just minced meat and Chuansha, a simple bowl of soup is nothing peculiar, with beef steamed cakes, it is a perfect match, and it is guaranteed that your gourmets will get what they want." ”

"What a foodie I am! There is a gap of 108,000 miles from the realm of gourmets who never get tired of eating, but after so many years of traveling from south to north and south, and eating a lot of local snacks, at best he can be called a gluttonous eater. Yao Bingxin said modestly, as if to strengthen the tone and effect, he kept waving his hand, and then said meaningfully: "In addition to local famous food, I am actually more interested in local culture, as well as the historical inheritance precipitated in food and customs. ”

Yao Bingxin said with great interest, looked around at the expressions of everyone in the carriage, suddenly changed the topic, and said slowly: "In addition, I also want to see the Shuguang Factory in Pingyuan County, I heard that they are based on the actual situation of the enterprise, adhere to the road of green innovation and change, not only to restore the vitality and vitality of an old state-owned enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy, but also through unremitting efforts, not only to recover the old mountains and rivers, but also to develop our own advanced low-consumption green engine." At the same time, it also drives the construction of community culture and the progress of civilization with corporate culture, and has become a well-known model of harmony. I'm going to see what means this typical example of green and sustainable development has taken to achieve such a harmonious unity. ”

At this point, Yao Bingxin can be regarded as putting his thoughts together, and also showing his goodwill to Qi Tianxiang's past classic practices, which is also the same as Qi Tianxiang's low-key and humble nature, that is, he wants to get along with each other, and the most important purpose is to find a reasonable fit for the handling of things.

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, threw a grateful look at Yao Bingxin, and also exchanged thoughts with each other, around such a big bend, in fact, the purpose is to find a fulcrum in the balance of the relationship, Yao Bingxin is worthy of being an old man, thinking carefully to the state of no trace, behind the seemingly high-profile one, there is a very clear and clear idea, and understand what he wants, and how to get these through design, and not make others feel like being used, this is the so-called political wisdom! Yao Bingxin can be said to have reached the point of perfection.

Qi Tianxiang didn't say anything more, but looked out the window, as if he was looking at the scenery outside the window, but in fact, his mind was thinking about the steps to be taken during the trip to the plains, as well as the related strategies.

As Pingyuan County approached, Qi Tianxiang felt that his thinking was gradually becoming clearer.
