Instructed by Lei Xiangdong, Ma Wanxing nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Leaders, eat, listen slowly, let's start with the most traditional and ordinary 'with a product of elbows'!" ”

Ma Wanxing manipulated the remote control, slowly stopped the elbow between Huang Heyuan and Qi Tianxiang, slowly walked a step, took the knife and fork handed by the waiter behind him, skillfully cut the elbow into two even pieces, and diligently picked it up and put it on the plate in front of Huang Heyuan and Qi Tianxiang. Then he slowly walked behind Hou Zhehai, cut and picked up a piece in the same way, and put it on the plate in front of Hou Zhehai. They were followed by Liu Xiaojun and Lei Xiangdong, the director of the office, and the director of the financial training center. A large circle walked down, just the right way to cut an elbow, the elbow meat in everyone's plate is balanced in size, fat and thin, and the techniques and means have also been praised and praised by everyone.

"Elbow with handle" is one of the representative dishes of Yamen cuisine in Northwest cuisine, and many recipes and food literature even list it as the first dish in Northwest China. It is known for its outstanding fragrance, color, fragrance, taste and shape. It is made of unique materials, different from other elbow dishes, elbows with bones and hooves, into a dish such as a hill, such as a handle, its color is jujube red, the shape is chic and plump, because it is a famous dish of the government, take a product to highlight its noble status, can be called 'a king in the plate'. Ma Wanxing slowly explained the dishes, and his tone was calm and calm, "The so-called 'bring a product of elbows', you must 'bring a handle', that is, with a pig's claw." The method is more complicated: when doing this, you need to put the elbow outward, the elbow handle (paws) inward, and the elbow skin down on the cutting board, use a knife to cut the skin along the leg from the elbow to the elbow in the middle, remove the meat on both sides of the leg bone (three sides of the meat), and connect the bottom bone with the flesh to expose the bone. Then break the two leg bones from the middle with the back of a knife, boil them in a soup pot until they are seven ripe, remove them, dry the water with a clean cloth, and smear the meat skin with red soy sauce while hot. Take a steaming pot, put the star anise and cinnamon at the bottom of the pot, first break the bone of the elbow handle by hand, do not hurt the outer skin, and then put the elbow skin down into the steaming pot, when loading the pot, according to the body shape of the elbow, the elbow handle is attached to the edge of the basin and loaded into the basin to make it round. Sprinkle in refined salt, cover the meat with sterilized gauze, and then spread the sweet noodle sauce, green onion, red tofu, white soy sauce, ginger, garlic, etc. on the gauze. Steam the steaming pot on the basket with a strong fire for about three hours, take it out to the degree of rottenness, remove the gauze, buckle it into the plate, and pick out the spices such as star anise and cinnamon. The shape and color of the "elbow with handle" served on the table are extremely beautiful, and it has a unique jujube red color. Compared with "Dongpo Elbow", its meat is softer, crispy, and easy to clip, it tastes crispy and not greasy, mellow and delicious. ”

As soon as Ma Wanxing's words fell, he received a round of warm applause, and he applauded from the bottom of his heart. The applause and the happy look of everyone seemed to give Ma Wanxing encouragement, after cutting the 'belt and a product of elbow', he returned to the original position, still manipulating the remote control, and distributed a roast ru pig to all the VIPs in the same way, and introduced while parting: "This 'winter warm and fragrant roast ru pig' is a famous dish in Shangjia cuisine, similar to the roast duck in Beijing and the barbecued pork in Chaoshan cuisine, but it is widely spread in the northwest and more well-known"

"Roast the pig in winter, choose about 40 days of piglets, remove the hair and scrape the clean, remove the internal organs, after boiling water, apply honey while hot, hang the roasting fork, and roast directly with charcoal fire. During this period, the oil should be repeated several times to prevent scorching, and at the same time, the skin will be shiny until the color is golden and red. Then cut the skin into 1.5 inches long, 8 minutes wide long cubes, and then put the head, brain, tail, bones and so on into the natural shape of a piglet on a plate, pour a little chili oil and serve. The roasted pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and the taste is abnormal. Ma Wanxing spoke, operated neatly, and quickly distributed the roast pig, and then manipulated the remote control, slowly turned a plate of soup dishes in front of him, and said with a smile: "After eating two slightly greasy dishes, come down and ask the leaders to taste the 'Baihua Jade Sheep Mushroom' and change the taste." ”

Ma Wanxing turned around and took the soup spoon handed by the waiter, as well as the delicate filigree gold-edged small bowl, carefully put the soup into the small bowl, and the waiter brought it to the VIPs in turn, and when all the actions were done, he watched the VIPs slowly taste the elegant and fragrant dishes, and then said with a smile: "Morel mushroom is a delicious edible mushroom plant, named because the body shape resembles the belly of a sheep." It is collectively referred to as 'Cao Bazhen' with Hericium erinaceus, white fungus, bamboo shoots, straw mushrooms, flower mushrooms, donkey nest mushrooms, and mouth mushrooms, and the junction area between the northwest grassland and the Qinlong Mountains is rich in yield, among which Chebagou and Dog Chegou are of high quality. After morel mushrooms are made, they are cooked with minced chicken, and they are praised as "the delicacy of the Loess Plateau" by some people in the United States and Japan. There is also a poem that says: 'The fragrance and the juice compete with each other, and you can't live without this gentleman for a day.' In the cooking, it is supplemented by roses, cloves, jasmine and other fragrant flowers into the soup, and on the basis of learning from the experience, the brewing and grilling techniques are integrated, so that the texture of the dishes is soft and tender, the taste is delicious, and the shape is beautiful. ”

Ma Wanxing's introduction sparked a round of warm applause, and Huang Heyuan stood up, walked to Ma Wanxing's side, picked up his wine glass and proposed with a smile: "With such a detailed and thoughtful introduction to Master Chong Ma, it is worth having another toast, who has a camera, take a group photo of me and Master Ma, and it will be more convincing for me to go back to sell the pie." ”

Huang Heyuan's proposal was unanimously responded to by everyone, and they all stood up and picked up the wine glasses, Ma Wanxing took the wine glass handed by the waiter, and after greeting everyone, he drank the wine in the glass, and also knew the meaning of everyone getting up and clinking glasses, and bowed to everyone with interest and thanked him: "Having said so much, it has affected the leaders to talk, please use it slowly, and please follow the instructions on what dishes you need to add." ”

After Ma Wanxing left, Huang Heyuan slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, and sighed sincerely: "There must be a good horse within a hundred miles, and there must be grass within a hundred steps, which is true!" Nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the northwest, you can eat such authentic famous dishes in the northwest, and you can also listen to the master's explanation of the dishes, perfectly interpret the food and culinary arts, and connect and inherit traditional Chinese culture. ”

"The old classmates have a lot of emotions today! I used to feel like your brother didn't have so much sentimentality, what's wrong with today? Hou Zhehai looked at Huang Heyuan and teased slightly: "Whether it is to see the old classmates with a lot of emotion, or to stay away from the northwest and reveal their true temperament, it should always be a little touching!" The so-called cause must have effect, there must be effect, there must be effect, complement each other, indispensable, this is the truth that has been repeatedly proven in theory and practice, it seems that I don't need to quote the scriptures anymore! ”

Huang Heyuan turned his eyes to look at Hou Zhehai intently, since he entered the door, this old man has never said a few words except for greetings, but smiled deeply and implicitly, observed, and knew in his heart that he was full of doubts about his own intention and purpose, which can be clearly distinguished from the performance from the airport to the Nanjiao Hotel. Although he is currently only the deputy secretary in charge of ideology of the Hehai Provincial Party Committee, as long as it is a relationship that can be used, Huang Heyuan is unwilling to give up this time, and there are still a lot of discussions, pointing directly to his career trend, and the possibility of replacing Lin Dongsheng and becoming the leader of Hehai cannot be ruled out. Even if this possibility does not become a reality, repairing and mending the relationship with him will be of great help to future cooperation and contact with Hehai.

In Huang Heyuan's mind, among the classmates who were training in the party school back then, the one he looked down on the most was Hou Zhehai, who was also a teacher and friend, and his scholarly spirit was too heavy, except for the theoretical things, practical knowledge and experience may not be as good as an old farmer in the mountains. Although this kind of understanding is one-sided, it is also the general understanding of cadres who have come up from the grassroots level; for them who have been trying to get up and down for so many years, these people or things on campus who are studying, researching, and living and working are inseparable from the same and similar campuses, and their ability to guide theory and practice is equal to zero, except for being able to talk on paper. Moreover, they are high in the political, economic, and cultural center of Gyeonggi, and reality and understanding are not at all the essence of what the grassroots units display, but it is these people who dominate or influence the trend of political, economic, and social life, and use their theories to illustrate the reality of the grassroots units.

Hou Zhehai is the person he is least interested in, in addition to these sour literati, there is also knowing the teacher-like Ji Yiqi, which makes him very unhappy, compared to Hou Zhehai and Qi Tianxiang These literati, he is more willing to communicate with the mayor and secretary of the city who are also trained at the grassroots level, but with Lei Xiangdong and Liu Xiaojun, these Beijing officials, have always maintained a relationship that is not very far, but it is definitely not very close. In his own opinion, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of a remote prefecture-level city in the northwest, no matter how hard he tries, has nothing to do with a higher position, and there is no grass on his ancestral grave. Who would have thought that the emperor would live up to it, and he would go step by step through the secretary of the municipal party committee, vice governor, governor, and finally sit in the position of secretary of the provincial party committee, and sit for five years. Although there is a crisis now, it is not completely impossible to solve it, and the easiest way is to hand over power and die with a clean heart. But the inherent self-esteem and stubbornness in my heart, I am still unwilling to lose in such a political battle, and I still hope that through my own efforts or strategies, I can get out of the predicament, even if I can't win completely, at least my face will look better. This is the real purpose of the team he led out this time, what he is looking for is these old classmates, although they are all nerds and idle Beijing officials who can't see him at the beginning, but now there is no better way, even if it is just a thin straw, even if it can't save his life, as long as it doesn't kill him, he is willing to try his best
