Chapter 498: Small Town Meeting (9)

Lu Shanzun's speech was short and clear, very powerful, and very in line with his usual neat and neat behavior, which immediately aroused more enthusiastic applause and pushed the scene to the first place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lu Shanzun had no choice but to stand up again, bow slightly to the audience and thank him, and nodded to Qi Tianxiang and the others on the rostrum, and after a while, the scene gradually returned to calm.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the venue was quiet, Zhao Jianzhong poked his head out from his position on the side of the rostrum and asked Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang and others with his eyes to see if the main leaders still had the intention of speaking, and after making sure that everyone had nothing to add to the speech, he announced the end of the morning meeting in a timely manner, drawing a successful end to the morning meeting.

Qi Tianxiang, Xu Fang, Lu Shanzun and other provincial and municipal leaders walked off the rostrum under the guidance of the staff, left the dam from the other side, and left the venue by tour bus. This is also the thoughtful arrangement of the meeting, the entire dam wide dam crest has become the venue, and the rostrum is set up at one end of the dam, and the main leaders can directly enter and exit. At the other end is the passage for participants to enter and exit the venue, so that both sides do not interfere with each other, avoiding the confusion and trouble caused by entering and exiting the venue.

In addition to the responsible persons of the provincial and municipal departments in charge of agriculture, there were also deputy mayors in charge of agriculture in various cities, especially some cities with relatively weak economies, and although there were no clear requirements, the secretaries of the municipal party committees and the mayors also attended. This is not because he attaches importance to agriculture and rural work, nor is he interested in the construction of small towns, but that Qi Tianxiang wants to attend this meeting and seize any opportunity to increase the frequency of meetings and exchanges with provincial governors, which is of great significance to the development of prefectures and cities and to his personal career. It's just that these people know the secret, and no one wants to reveal it, but it is enough to actively participate in the meeting, actively participate in and understand the intentions of the leadership.

I just don't know the intentions of Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang, whether they are willing to meet with the city leaders too much, or simply say whether they will talk, so when planning the layout of the venue, they determined the operation mode of entering and exiting in two directions without interfering with each other. Looking at it now, at least when the leader leaves, the effect is still relatively obvious.

Qi Tianxiang and other leaders, under the guidance of the staff, slowly left the venue, still taking the tour bus driven by Qingfeng, and Qi Tianxiang was still sitting next to Qingfeng, the same as when he came, the difference is that more than two hours have passed.

After everyone boarded the tour bus and Qingfeng Harvest also entered a stable driving state, Qi Tianxiang asked with a slight smile: "Lao Qing, where are we going now?" Swimming in the lake? Or look at your 10,000 acres of lotus pond? ā€

Qing Fengshou knew that Qi Tianxiang was deliberately teasing him, so he smiled honestly and replied honestly: "It's noon, I won't go anywhere, let's go directly to the farmhouse for lunch." ā€

Qingfeng Harvest spoke, quickly glanced at Qi Tianxiang with a side face, and then hurriedly looked straight ahead, asking Qi Tianxiang's opinion and said: "Have lunch first, and then take a rest, if you are interested, I will take the governor and the leaders to visit, do you think this is good?" ā€

"Of course, since I came out this morning, I'm already hungry with my chest on my back, and of course I need to replenish my energy." Qi Tianxiang smiled, looked at Qingfeng Harvest happily, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "I remember the last time I came to Qinghe Reservoir, you promised in front of Governor Xu Fang, next time I come to Qinghe Village, you want me to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by your wife herself, I don't know if your old man still remembers these words?" ā€

"Of course I remember, and I remember it firmly, even my wife has been chattering for a few days, looking forward to the governor coming over to eat the hand-rolled noodles she made. I took my daughter-in-law to the farmhouse early in the morning to prepare, maybe everything was ready, just waiting for the guests. Qing Fengshou was full of wrinkles and smiles, not only to Qi Tianxiang's approachable conversation, but also to have a super memory, but also to arrange and prepare in advance, feeling very proud, so he said loudly to Qi Tianxiang, but also to everyone: "Don't worry, I guarantee that the governor will eat the most authentic home-style hand-rolled noodles, and be full and enough." As long as the governor and leaders like to eat, they can eat it at any time. ā€

The words of celebrating the harvest triggered Qi Tianxiang's laughter, and in the laughter, Qingfeng Feng also skillfully parked the tour bus in front of a farmhouse, and quickly jumped out of the car, diligently preparing to help Qi Tianxiang get out of the car.

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and waved his hand, politely but resolutely declined the kindness of Qingfeng, slowly got out of the car, and waited until everyone in the same car got out of the car, and then slowly followed Qingfengshou into the courtyard of the farmhouse.

As with the turn of spring and summer, the small courtyard still attracts Qi Tianxiang's attention, the loofahs planted along the fence have passed the vigorous season, and only a few huge loofahs hang on the branches, both for ornamentation and perhaps with the intention of keeping the seeds. Although there is no lush growth of loofahs, the lush branches still shade the small courtyard with greenery, and the grape trellises in the middle of the yard have sparse branches and leaves, only the clusters of purple grapes hang on the branches, showing the charming colors to the fullest, tempting the eyes and appetite.

The small courtyard seems to have become more rustic, the small courtyard, the small building, the green and the grapes in the courtyard, as well as the yellow ears of corn hanging on the outer wall of the small building, the red bunches of peppers, and the deliberately placed hoes, rakes and other farm tools, make the small courtyard rich in the atmosphere of rural life, but also more warm and comfortable.

Qi Tianxiang didn't have a chance to look around, but was directly invited to the hall on the first floor of the small building, and sat at the position of the Eight Immortals Table facing the door. This is also different from the last time I came to eat at the stone table under the grape trellis in the middle of the courtyard, maybe because of the climate, or maybe it was a deliberate arrangement for the reception of the conference!

Several cold dishes have been placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, that is, the so-called pressing table dishes for rural hospitality, which not only shows respect for the guests, but also shows the sincerity of the host's hospitality. Looking carefully, that is, relatively simple peanuts, red dates, fresh fruits and other seasonal fruits and vegetables, such dishes can be eaten or not, mainly so that guests do not have the boredom of waiting, and they can also have something to do temporarily.

It was only a moment of effort, Qi Tianxiang and the others had just sat down around the Eight Immortals table, and the waiter began to serve the dishes with the plates, a group of three waiters, one waiter sorted out the table and placed the plates, and the other two waiters cooperated with the tray in their hands, looking well-trained and very tacit.

Soon the dishes on the table were replaced by dishes with different colors, and the plates and dishes instantly bloomed on the table of the Eight Immortals like a flower, and the attractive colors and fragrant heat rushed to the eyes together, and deeply stimulated the taste buds.

After the dishes were placed and the waiters withdrew in turn, Qi Tianxiang looked at the dishes on the table with interest, smiled slightly and nodded approvingly: "Yes, the eight big bowls in Hezhou, but the big bowls have become plates, which look a lot more elegant, but the charm is still there, and the colors are also decent and original, which is very suitable for occasions like farmhouses." ā€

"Governor Qi even knows the eight bowls of hospitality in our rural Hezhou?" Qingfeng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and said a little incredulously: "Originally, I still wanted to surprise the governor and the leaders, but I didn't expect to let Governor Qi see it at a glance." ā€

Qing Fengshou's somewhat frustrated expression and exaggerated tone caused a slight burst of laughter from everyone, Feng Juncai glared at him even more, and said angrily: "Do you think that with your little trick, you can surprise the governor?" Who is Governor Qi? Where haven't you been when you traveled north and south? What delicacies haven't you ever seen? Just your farmhouse eight big bowls, you can win by surprise in a different way? ā€

Feng Juncai's ridicule caused a burst of laughter from everyone, looking at Qing Fengshou's slightly embarrassed demeanor, Qi Tianxiang glanced at him gently, and smiled at Feng Juncai with a little seriousness and said, "This sycophant is a bit too much!" What to go south to north, and what delicacies, how can I have so much time to visit the mountains and rivers? It's just that my hometown is also in the north, our two provinces are adjacent to each other, and the customs and food are roughly not far apart, so I am no stranger to the food prepared by Lao Qing. ā€

Qi Tianxiang spoke, looked at the plates and dishes on the table, and said with great interest: "Strip square preserved meat, smooth beef, buckle meatballs, small crispy meat, this should be called four steamed bowls, basically the same, and then fried tofu, kelp fragrant beans, vegetarian fried belt, eight treasure rice, four meat and four vegetarian, this is the traditional sense of the eight bowls, there are also six meat, four vegetarian ten bowls, but there are more steamed mutton or steamed chicken nuggets, vegetarian dishes are more local materials, there are tofu, there are also bean sprouts, Laoqing here is a lot of lotus vegetables, just take the material and lotus vegetables, Basically, it is in line with the climatic conditions and living habits of our north. ā€

Qi Tianxiang watched everyone listen to his story with great interest, and knew that there was an element of compliment in it, but he still said with interest: "Whether it is the eight bowls or the ten bowls, they are all manifestations of regional culture and habits, and they are also the embodiment of agricultural civilization in food." These seemingly simple dishes are actually very laborious, they need to be fried and prepared in advance, and there must be a venue and utensils, and they can only be eaten during the New Year or weddings and funerals. Although they are mainly steamed, they also represent grandeur and attention, where can you eat such things! Not to mention the lack of ingredients, even the effort to make these dishes is also gone! ā€
