In the morning, Yao Bingxin ate the legendary famous food of Pingyuan County - minced meat and Chuansha, and invited Liu Tangzi to come over and accompany Yao Bingxin and the guests from Beijing to eat this famous dish.

Of course, the pre-arranged reception work, the environment and sanitary conditions have reached the level of standardization and cleanliness, and it may be better, the boss personally cooks the dishes, and all the guests are temporarily not received, waiting for the minister and the governor to dine.

The store is still the same as before, and the dining environment is still a few small tables and a few small stools, which have not changed much, and even due to the presence of distinguished guests, the few tables on the street have disappeared.

The place in the store is small, and the people who can eat in it are also carefully selected, and Yao Bingxin and his party of five people must of course all be in place. Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong are the main companions, the construction of the house is the Department of Environmental Protection, directly to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, it is not appropriate not to participate, although Liao Yong belongs to the cadres in the province, but it can also be regarded as half the host and half guest, Liu Tangzi's main explainer, it is indispensable, the rest of the seat is precious, and later is the secretary of the Qinghe City Party Committee Pan Weiming, and Pingyuan County magistrate Luo Jimin, as a local party and government cadre, on behalf of Qinghe City and Pingyuan County participated. There are four people at one table, and there are enough people for three tables, which seems harmonious and harmonious.

The environment and conditions are not very satisfactory, but the beef steamed cake and the fragrant minced meat Chuansha are not improvised, but have the meaning of fine workmanship, and they won a full house as soon as they were served, especially Yao Bingxin's slightly exaggerated praise.

Seeing Yao Bingxin's excited expression, Liu Tangzi also opened the conversation after Yao Bingxin and Qi Tianxiang started eating, and said a little sarcastically: "Pingyuan County is located on the alluvial plain of the Qinghe River, and it is a typical city washed out by the river. As the area of the plains continued to expand, another way of subsistence gradually became achieved, that is, planting and breeding. Because it is an alluvial plain, the land is fertile, the nutrient content is high, in addition to winter wheat, the main planting variety is cotton, which has become the main cotton producing area in several nearby counties and cities, so it has also given birth to the cotton straw cattle industry, which has become two important products that are famous far and wide. ”

Seeing Yao Bingxin eating with relish, and listening patiently, Liu Tangzi smiled and said: "The products are abundant, but not everyone can get a satisfactory harvest, whether it is planting cotton or raising cattle, it is a heavy physical labor that requires considerable strength, especially in the busy agricultural season, it requires good labor and a strong body, and eating well has become the key to ensuring the output of the land." But in the past, in the countryside, whether it was a long-term worker or a short-term worker, even the landlord's family was reluctant to supply big fish and meat, and it was very good to have a white-flour steamed bun as a staple food when the farm was busy. Under such demand, it also provides a reason for the existence of the snack of beef steamed cake and minced meat Chuansha. ”

"Why is there such a demand? And still early? This is also due to the characteristics of agrarian societies. Liu Tangzi asked and answered himself, and continued with great interest: "Just like Lanzhou ramen, Shanxi knife-cut noodles, Henan Hu spicy soup, mutton soup, steamed buns, etc., as well as your Beijing stew, originally appeared in the form of breakfast. The difference is the content, there are noodles, buns, and cakes, but they are all based on broth, whether it is beef soup or mutton soup, they are all made from bones, that is, the corners of the material. After repeated boiling, it becomes a fragrant soup, accompanied by cakes or noodles to resist hunger, this is the food needed to make coolies, which not only relieves hunger, but also replenishes nutrition, and eats such a meal before going down to the ground in the morning, and the heavy physical labor of the day is all over. ”

"Lao Liu is talking about the real rural reality! That is, people who understand rural life in China can create such a delicacy, or a snack that meets the economic conditions and physical needs of ordinary people. Yao Bingxin listened to Liu Tangzi's introduction, his hands and mouth kept moving, and when he finally completed these actions, he interjected with satisfaction: "China's food culture is broad and profound, but the essence is still inseparable from agricultural culture, and it also originated from agricultural civilization. ”

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten and focused their attention on themselves, Yao Bingxin sighed with emotion: "Big fish, big meat, and feasting have never been the essence of people's lives, but the exclusive property of the elite class, which is also the result of class or class differentiation. The eunuchs eat meat, and the common people drink soup, but even this soup can also drink culture and spirit, because they are rooted in the lives of the people and can also be carried forward and passed on. This is the tenacious national spirit, which is the essence of culture or civilization. ”

"Minister Yao can always see the subtleties, and can also extract the essence of culture from a high vantage point, which is really able to learn a lot of things!" Listening to Yao Bingxin begin to extend the topic to the height of culture and civilization, Qi Tianxiang took Yao Bingxin's words with a smile and said half-truthfully: "When we have time, we really have to ask Minister Yao to talk about it well, so that we, the grassroots cadres, can also have a long insight and accumulate some cultural connotations." ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were sincere, although there were some ridicule elements, but there was not the slightest banter on his face, let alone ridicule, but Yao Bingxin suddenly realized the inappropriateness of time and place, so he laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Governor Qi is joking, I am just talking, and it really can't rise to the height of the system and theory, that is, what to say." ”

With that, the end of breakfast was effectively announced. When he got up to leave, Yao Bingxin deliberately walked to the back kitchen, shook hands with the boss and thanked him, and at the careful request of the boss, he readily agreed to take a photo with the boss, and took the boss's hand affectionately, walked to the door of the store, and left a precious group photo with the small shop and the plaque as the background.

Looking at the happy shopkeeper, Yao Bingxin solemnly explained, and sent a photo to him after the photo was developed, so as to leave a good memory and commemoration. Then he shook hands with Liu Tangzi cordially and said goodbye, thanked him for his introduction and accompaniment, and then accompanied by Qi Tianxiang and others, under the attention of the onlookers, he left slowly and returned to Xiaozhao.

Qi Tianxiang always grasped his actions and expressions as an accompaniment, although in order to balance and highlight his presence, Yao Bingxin chose Pingyuan County, where Qi Tianxiang started brilliantly, to begin his inspection of Qinghe. But for high-profile appearances, as well as exaggerated expressions or performances, Qi Tianxiang is still not very comfortable, or he resists from the heart, and being able to accompany Yao Bingxin to appear on various occasions in a low-key manner is already a very reluctant thing for him, and it is good to be able to remain peaceful.

Judging from the reception effect, Yao Bingxin's initial impression of Pingyuan County is still good and satisfied, which Qi Tianxiang is very clear about, and he is also full of confidence in the next inspection. After coming to Pingyuan County last night, Qi Tianxiang felt the change in Yao Bingxin's mood, maybe it was because he left the polluted environment of the water body, maybe he left the environmental problems, Yao Bingxin seemed to be completely relaxed.

Pan Weiming, secretary of the Qinghe Municipal Party Committee, Wang Jinlong, mayor of Qinghe County, Tian Feng, secretary of the Pingyuan County Party Committee, and Luo Jimin, county magistrate, were all waiting in the lobby of the Pingyuan County Hotel, which was somewhat unexpected by Yao Bingxin, but it was Qi Tianxiang's most satisfactory way of reception. Qi Tianxiang is usually most annoyed by ushering in that set, and has criticized this impetuous superficial article more than once, it seems that Qinghe City understands Qi Tianxiang's preferences, and also caters to his preferences.

Due to the time constraints, when I arrived at the hotel, I went directly to the settling room, rested for a while, and then had dinner together.

Yao Bingxin and Qi Tianxiang and others were arranged in the small trick behind the hotel building, maybe the fame of the little trick is too great, as soon as Yao Bingxin entered the thick and dense courtyard of the small trick, he couldn't stop marveling at the planning and design of the little trick, so that at dinner, he was still full of praise.

Dining in the small restaurant, Yao Bingxin and his entourage were divided into two tables, and the number of people accompanying them was also reduced, except for Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong, that is, Pan Weiming and Tian Feng, secretary of the Pingyuan County Party Committee, the others went to accompany other distinguished guests.

There are no too many personnel, and there is no too much communication, in fact, this kind of dinner is just a process, and we all know that we have to listen to the report after the meal, so it is a symbolic drink of a few glasses of wine, Yao Bingxin is reluctant to drink again, Qi Tianxiang did not persuade again, tacitly ate in a hurry, and arrived at the conference room to start the report stage after dinner.

Wang Jinlong was mainly responsible for the report, after a brief introduction to the regional situation of Qinghe City, it entered the substantive pollution prevention and response stage, in addition to explaining the situation of Qinghe water pollution, focusing on Qinghe City, as well as several other counties, cities, districts of water supply work, not only figures, but also specific dynamic information, very specific and detailed, it seems that full preparation.

Yao Bingxin listened very carefully, neither interrupted nor expressed any impatience, just recorded it in the notebook, and seemed to be only interested in specific numbers, until Wang Jinlong finished the report concisely, he looked at Qi Tianxiang with a slight smile and said in a consultative tone: "Comrade Jinlong has already said in detail, and others have to add specifically, and they will go to the scene to watch tomorrow, will we not waste time to consult anything, or continue to listen to the comrades to introduce the situation, right?" ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded slightly, and agreed with Yao Bingxin's proposal, in fact, in his mind, the original debriefing meeting in the evening could not be held, but in order to respect Yao Bingxin's existence and not harm the preparations of Qinghe City, there was such a meeting with such a move.

Since Yao Bingxin didn't want to waste too much time, Qi Tianxiang was also happy to do it, after all, he had to watch it again tomorrow, and just listen to it.

The process is also necessary, and taking care of the situation is sometimes more important than the actual need.
