Chapter 223: Fishy Sheep Soup House
Liu Feng began to admire the upright cow in front of him at this time. Indeed, people are as upright as their name suggests! How many sixty-four-year-old people will bow their heads to the young and admit their mistakes? The most admirable thing is that this Niu Gengzhi is not for himself, but for the two million people in Yanzhou City!
At this time, Liu Feng looked at Niu Gengzhi's gaze, no longer aggressive, but with a little appreciation: "I want to know, Commissioner Niu Gengzhi wants a prosperous Yanzhou City, is it for his own political achievements or what?" ”
Niu Gengzhi's face suddenly turned red, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Feng fixedly: "Young man, maybe you are very talented, but please don't look at an old party member with a dirty gaze." That's unfair, our generation may have some shortcomings of one kind or another.
But there is one thing I can take out my heart and say, the reason why Lao Tzu has been a broken official of this Lao Shizi these years is that he wants to have an explanation when he sees his old comrades-in-arms in the future. Don't think about Lao Tzu for power and profit, Lao Tzu is not that kind of person! ”
Xia He hurriedly explained to Liu Feng: "Professor Liu, Comrade Niu Gengzhi has been living in a cave before liberation, his children are still farming in the countryside, and his wife is sick all the year round, but she still insists on tending to the crops by herself. The old commissioner still receives the salary of decades ago, and the excess is paid to the party dues. ”
Liu Feng was shocked, this is an old man worthy of admiration, Liu Feng turned around and bowed to Niu Gengzhi in a dignified manner: "Old man, Liu Feng is rude, I was offended just now, please forgive me." ”
Niu Gengzhi waved his hand: "What offends or not, those don't matter, let's talk to the old man about your ideas for the economic construction of Yanzhou City." If your idea is feasible, the old man will make trouble with the central government, and he will also transfer you to Yanzhou City, so that you can work for the welfare of the people of Yanzhou City. ”
As he spoke, Niu Gengzhi sighed: "The people of Yanzhou City are really bitter!" They have paid too much for the birth of New China, and now we, the parents and officials, can't let the people here live a good life, which is really ashamed of the heroes! ”
Xia He smiled and said: "Old commissioner, this is the youngest associate professor of Yanjing Party School, the best young cadre in Baishan Province, and Liu Feng, Professor Liu, who has continuously created the economic miracle of Shan Yu Township and Jingjiang District. ”
Niu Geng's eyes widened when he went straight up: "You are the Liu Feng who has been criticized by the party newspaper countless times?" Hey, good guys, I'm going to see a freak like you, it's worth dying now! Boy, you just say, what kind of position you want, as long as you are willing to come to Yanzhou City, the old man will definitely meet all your requirements. ”
Liu Feng couldn't cry or laugh, whether this was a compliment to himself or something, he really couldn't understand the old man's thoughts. It's just a matter of being criticized by the party newspaper, what kind of freak, am I so much like a freak?
Xia He was a little funny when he saw Liu Feng deflated, this little Professor Liu rarely had such a face: "Professor Liu, the old commissioner has always adopted a strategy of critical acceptance of things in the media. He once said at the Standing Committee that it was a miracle that Liu Feng in Jingjiang District was able to be criticized by so many newspapers.
What does this mean? It shows that people are capable, otherwise how can they go through these accusations and not fall? It was a nationwide criticism, and it was a fight with the judgment that Lao Tzu's old leaders endured! If anyone in Yanzhou City gets such glory, Lao Tzu will definitely give him a promotion! ”
Liu Feng couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of compliment is this, this is too different, right? It seems that the old comrade in front of him really has a personality. Think about it, in today's Chinese political arena, who does not regard the media as the vane of his own politics, and who will go against the party newspaper?
Perhaps this is the spirit of the old comrades, and this is the unique perspective of the older generation. They will not shake their beliefs for some superficial foreign objects, they always stick to their promises to their comrades-in-arms, they are always the loveliest people!
In the face of such an old-timer, Liu Feng could only be silent and tearful, simply ignoring what he had just said. Niu Gengzhi looked at the waiter in the restaurant, turned his head to Liu Feng and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go and drink two cups, talk while drinking, the old man has a treat." ”
Liu Feng smiled: "Forget it, I'm afraid that your food expenses for next month will be gone." Liu Feng invited you to dinner, don't you know that I am the richest man in Chinese officialdom? Not to mention inviting you to eat a meal and a half, even if you invite your whole family to eat for a year, it will not make me frown. ”
Niu Gengzhi laughed, and he was not polite: "Cheng, I'll eat you, these old men have been eating a lot of big food." As long as Lao Tzu is hungry for meat, he will run to Yong'an City, find those guys to fight tooth sacrifices, and pack them before leaving!
I heard that you also have the nickname of the head of the packing area? We're a little bit alike! Hehe, those people must have a headache when they think of the old man. ”
Liu Feng was speechless again, it turned out that the big household in the mouth of this old comrade was a cadre in Xiqin Province? I'm afraid that only an old qualification like Niu Gengzhi will make those people deflated, who is in a high position as a commissioner, but receives the salary of decades ago, such an old man who stands on the moral high ground, anyone will have a headache!
Niu Gengzhi led Liu Feng and Xia He to a small shop, a hole in a black cave, which was a fishy sheep soup restaurant.
Niu Gengzhi sat down and said: "On the day of the recovery of Yanzhou City, the old leader was here to feast the heroes, and those who came to the banquet at that time, except for the old leader, were all scarred and wrapped in medicinal cloths. ”
As he spoke, Niu Geng squinted his eyes, as if he had returned to that bloody era: "The boss at that time slaughtered sheep for us on the spot, and wanted to invite us to drink fishy sheep soup for free." I remember that the money in the old leader's pocket was not enough, so everyone put together the allowance and paid the bill.
Hey, the wine was the most enjoyable that day, when the old leader was afraid that he would drink too much and forget to pay the bill, and the meal was just served on the table to give money, and the boss refused for a good meal. It's a pity that there are few old brothers who drank together back then. ”
The stove of the fishy sheep soup restaurant is set under a simple shed outside the door, presumably because there is no way to let the oil smoke in the cave be discharged in time. The cave is not a simple loess kiln, and a layer of green bricks is built inside, and the pointed arch ensures the solidity of the cave.
The walls were simply painted with a layer of white ash, which made Liu Feng, who had adapted to the environment, feel not so gloomy. The tables and chairs in the cave seem to be very old, and although they are still clean, they can't hide the broken face.
Niu Gengzhi stretched out his hand and stroked the bench and the table that had long been unable to see its true colors: "This table was where the old leader sat back then, at that time, there were no bullshit rules, and officers and soldiers were equal. After getting off the battlefield, the old leader and us soldiers and children bragged and farted, drank wine and ate meat in big bowls. ”
Liu Feng listened to the old commissioner's story, and the picture of the year was presented in front of him, an old general who straddled horses and crossed the sword, and a group of red imps, laughing and scolding, drinking and fighting, what a yearning time it was!
Presumably that's the real way to connect with the masses, right? It is far from being comparable to some self-proclaimed pro-people secretaries and pro-people XX. Look at the current officials, how many of them are still able to get along with their subordinates?
They want to use a sense of distance to maintain their majesty, but they have embarked on a wrong path! True majesty is definitely not something that can be achieved by keeping a distance, and the common people respect you, not for your official position, but so that you can bring them a good life!
After taking a sip of the fishy mutton soup, Liu Feng smacked his lips, shook his head and said: "It really tastes good, more authentic than the one I just drank in the hotel." ”
Niu Geng straightened up the wine bowl, yes, the wine bowl! The old gentleman didn't cut the cup at all, and directly took a bowl of wine: "District Chief Liu, the old man respects you with this bowl of wine, and asks you to find a rich way for Yanzhou City, and the old man will do it first!" ”
Where was Liu Feng willing to let the old man respect him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't, don't, you have always killed the kid, or I respect you!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Feng did not hesitate, "Goo dong goo goo dong", and a bowl of wine was drunk by him in the blink of an eye.
Niu Gengzhi gave a thumbs up: "Okay!" Attaboy! It's a man! The old man admires such a man the most, not to mention anything else, just drink at District Chief Liu, and the old man will obey you! ”
Xia He watched Niu Gengzhi drink all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and gasped vigorously, these two don't drink too much. However, seeing that although Liu Feng's face was already red, his eyes were still as clear as ever, Xia He relaxed slightly.
Liu Feng stopped Niu Gengzhi from continuing to pour wine: "Old commissioner, we are not here to drink, we want to drink, you are old to Yanjing City, the kid invites you to drink 30-year-old Moutai and eat authentic Beijing snacks, how about it?" ”
Niu Gengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, you have a lot of alcohol but you are not greedy for a cup, and you have never forgotten your business, District Chief Liu, the old man likes you more and more." I can't wait to transfer you to Yanzhou City immediately, I believe that the old man can still do it when he goes to Yanjing City and walks through the back door. ”
Liu Feng said with a smile: "Old commissioner, in fact, Secretary Xia He is a very good official, but there are too many shackles, so she can't let go of her hands and feet." I believe that if you get your strong support, Secretary Xia will definitely give you a surprise and let Yanzhou City shine in the shortest possible time! ”
Niu Gengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, obedient and listening, although Niu Gengzhi was upright by nature, he was definitely not a fool. The information revealed by Liu Feng's words made him think a lot, could it really be that he was hindering the development of Yanzhou City?
Niu Gengzhi sighed: "District Chief Liu, the old man is definitely not a person who covets official positions, but he can't rest assured that the people of Yanzhou City are my parents." If it weren't for the people of Yanzhou City, the old cow would have turned into a pile of cow dung, where would they still sit here and drink. ”
Liu Feng was amused by Niu Geng's straightforward words: "Old commissioner, I understand your feelings, but I don't dare to agree. Society is progressing, the times are advancing, didn't Taizu also once said: The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours.
You young people are full of vigor and prosperity, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and hope is pinned on you. Taizu believes in young people, why are you still entangled?
There are talents from all generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years!
Old man, it's a new era, if you're not at ease, you can just keep an eye on it, and if anyone is not doing what you want, just give your opinion. ”
