Early the next morning, Liu Feng and his entourage stepped on the plane and flew directly to Qilian Province, where Wu Yunze, the current secretary of the provincial party committee, and Qin Wu, deputy secretary and governor, of Qilian Province. Qin Wu had dealt with Liu Feng, and it was Liu Feng who invited experts from abroad to treat Han Lu's congenital heart disease.

It was also those experts who extended the life span of Qin Lao for three months at that time, and it may be nothing for ordinary people to live for three or five more years. For these top political families, many times living an extra month is a luxury!

At the top, sometimes it's not about who starts higher on both sides, but who lives longer! Living longer means you can do a lot of things, of course, provided that you don't fall into a situation from which you can't recover before the other person dies!

Qinchuan is the provincial capital of Qilian Province, located in the geometric center of the Chinese land map, and is in the unique position of the four companies in the northwest. The mountains in the north and south of the urban area face each other, and the Yellow River passes through the city from east to west, winding for more than 100 miles. The city is built by the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and mountains are stacked, which not only reflects the vigor and grandeur of the northwest, but also shows the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.

It is an important economic center in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Economic Zone, an important support point and radiation source of the new economic belt in Xilonghai, Qin, China, a bridge and link between the eastern and central regions of China and the western region, and a transportation and communication hub in the northwest.

The four major railway lines of Longhai, Qinxin, Qinqing and Baoqin converge here, which is the largest freight station in Northwest China and an important container transshipment center on the New Eurasian Continental Bridge, as well as a communication hub and information network center in the western region.

The middle temperate continental climate of Qilian Province, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, mild climate, the average altitude of the urban area is 1520 meters, the average annual temperature is 11.2 °C, the average annual precipitation is 327mm, the average sunshine hours of the year are 2446 hours, and the frost-free period is more than 180 days, which is an ideal place to live and invest in entrepreneurship.

Qinchuan City is an important town on the ancient Silk Road, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song dynasties, with the opening of the Silk Road, there was a grand occasion of silk going west, Tianma coming east, Qinchuan gradually became an important transportation artery and commercial port town on the Silk Road, an important metropolis and link connecting the ethnic minorities in the Western Regions, and played an important role in communicating and promoting economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West.

The ancient Silk Road has also left many places of interest and splendid culture here, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists to come for sightseeing, making Qinchuan the center of the Silk Road tourist area spanning 2,000 kilometers and connecting Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Tianshui Maijishan, Zhangye Big Buddha Temple, Yongjing Bingling Temple, Xiahe Labrang Temple and other famous scenic spots.

With the opening of the new Eurasian land bridge, especially the implementation of the strategy of developing the western region, the modern Silk Road has been reconstructed, and Qinchuan has become an important channel for China's east-west cooperation and exchanges and to Central Asia, West Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

The fact that such an important city is also the mayor shows that the Tao family attaches great importance to Tao Kai, and perhaps there are deeper considerations. After all, it is difficult for Secretary Tao Wanguo to go further, and he may have to retire in 2002, or he may not even be able to wait for that day.

Therefore, it is imperative to lay out in advance and pick up Tao Kai, who is the most promising successor in the family. It is precisely because of this consideration that Tao Kai can't wait to find Liu Feng and ask him to help with advice!

In fact, this is not that Tao Kai is not confident enough, but he takes a fancy to the Gale Group behind Liu Feng, as an inland city, Qinchuan City may have many places of interest and splendid culture, and it is also an important support point and radiation source of the new economic belt of Xilonghai Qin, the bridge and link between the eastern and central regions and the western region, and the transportation and communication hub of the northwest.

However, these are not enough to attract enough foreign investment to enter here, and if a city wants to develop by leaps and bounds in advance, it will not work without huge financial support. Gale Group has nothing else, that is, there is no shortage of funds, and Tao Kai also takes a fancy to this, this Liu Feng and he both know it!

Tao Kai, vice governor and mayor of Qinchuan City, Wang Hai, secretary of the provincial Communist Youth League Committee, Zhang Qiang and Zhang Keji, deputy secretaries of the provincial Youth League committee, Huo Ting, director of the Rural Youth Work Department of the provincial Youth League Committee, and other cadres came to the airport to greet them. This kind of specification is a bit excessive, but Tao Gongzi doesn't seem to care about it in order to vent his grievances.

Liu Feng smiled bitterly: "Governor Tao, aren't you harming me!" ”

"Don't worry, now I'm more aggressive than you!" Tao Kai waved his hand indifferently, squinting his eyes and scanning the media reporters behind him, "Now I am on the cusp of the limelight, even if I want to take away my limelight, I must have that ability!" ”

On the eve of the Party Congress, Tao Kai got his wish to become vice governor and mayor of Qinchuan City, becoming the youngest vice-provincial cadre in Qilian Province. The Tao family has also become another family with a father and son and provincial ministerial-level officials, and he has been in the limelight for a while, which also makes him the target of public criticism. At this time, Tao Kai is in urgent need of political achievements, and he can get his political achievements, even if he wants to be low-key, it is impossible!

At this time, Tao Kai can only fight his way out of the wind, let everyone see his level of governance, and break the malicious slander of those political enemies. Liu Feng knows this very well, Liu Feng can't refuse Tao Kai's invitation in public or private, he owes the Tao family a favor in Zhujiang City!

When people ask you at a critical moment, it may be against your own code of conduct to agree, and if you don't agree, you will be convinced. Liu Feng would rather return the favor immediately, or simply let the other party owe him!

Tao Kai is a delicate person, with the maturity and stability of a child of a family, and he can be regarded as understanding someone Liu. Pick up these people and drive directly to Qinchuan Hotel, this Professor Liu has good food, so he naturally wants to do what he likes!

The most famous dish of Qinchuan Hotel is Qilian roasted whole sheep, Qilian ancient is one of the birthplaces of the Zhou people, far away in the Zhou Dynasty, roasted whole sheep is one of the "eight treasures", along with the present, it has been prosperous for a long time, and Qinchuan hanging oven roasted whole sheep is a sound broadcast at home and abroad.

Qinchuan roasted whole sheep is selected about 15 pounds of lamb of the year, washed with 60 °C warm boiled water, scraped the wool, and then put into 80 °C water to scald and wash, the outer skin is rubbed with white soy sauce, the abdominal cavity is smeared with pepper and pepper water, and then the abdominal cavity is opened with an iron fork, grilled in the oven, and coated with lard while roasting, and after about 1 hour, the mutton can be golden brown.

Some follow the ancient method, roast and stew the whole sheep, that is, take out the lamb offal, fill the red dates, wrap the grass curtain outside, and then coat the wet clay and roast, remove the clay after it dries, wash it, and then paste it with rice flour thick paste, slice the ingredients after frying, stew it in the pot for three days and three nights, you can mix it with sauce vinegar, pepper, sesame oil, etc. to eat, its color is golden, crispy and delicious.

Today is all the two baking methods, Zhang Huijun pursed his lips and smiled: "Does Governor Tao know that he doesn't have to pay for it to be so generous?" ”

"Hahaha!" Tao Kai laughed proudly, without the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, "Professor Liu is not short of money, as long as there is the most exquisite food." I, to put it bluntly, it is the promise of Professor Liu's side, and when I am comfortable serving the master, I will also, uh-huh! ”

This sentence made everyone laugh, in fact, the most precious thing is not the roasted whole sheep, but a few dishes made of camel meat. Oil-fried hump is a delicacy that has a history of more than 1,500 years, and it is made from the flesh of Hexi camels.

Cut the meat peak into regular meat slices or shredded meat, fry it in oil on the hot fire, adjust it with various condiments, pay attention to the heat, the hump is silvery red in color, and the meat is tender and delicious. Camel is an important draft animal and means of transportation for the people of Hexi, there are few people who can eat, and most of them are eaten by the old and the peaks of natural elimination, so the oil explosion hump has become a treasure among the treasures.

Liu Feng looked at the delicacies in front of him and frowned slightly: "Governor Tao, this is not a camel specially slaughtered, right?" ”

"What do you think?" Tao Kai motioned to the waiter to pour wine, and said, "I have some power, you have a little money, and you can't buy everything." These dishes were set early, and it wasn't until the first two days that there were no ingredients, otherwise you really wouldn't be blessed!

Camels are not something you can buy with money, people here treat camels as family members, and no one will slaughter them at will! If you don't say that you are greedy, these dishes are all ingredients from a camel, I let people keep them, remember not to be surprised when you settle the account, that is the money of the whole camel! ”

"Huh?" Everyone at the scene was shocked by Tao Kai's generosity, this one really spent a lot of effort, not to mention anything else, simply let the family store the whole camel, but it was not allowed to brew, it made people speechless! Especially after tasting it, everyone is full of praise for this well-known food.

Unexpectedly, Liu Feng's answer was even more annoying: "Okay, then double the price to the camel owner, double the storage fee to this store, and return to Yanjing City by air." ”

"This man lives better than a man!" Zhang Huijun said with emotion, "Secretary Liu, if you eat this in Yanjing City, you must call me!" ”

"No problem!"

"Don't forget to call me!"

The voice at the door made everyone look over, and Liu Feng and Tao Kai stood up at the same time: "Governor Qin, why are you here?" ”

At this time, everyone in the private room stood up, it turned out that this was Qin Wu, the governor of Qilian Province, and they all said that this person was able to get the governor because Qin Lao lived three more months. This rumor is known to quite the top level, and there are also well-informed people, and they even know the handwriting of someone Liu.

That time, Liu handed over the Qin family, but at the same time, he also offended some people, he is not a banknote, he really can't be loved by everyone! This is the case in officialdom, while helping one side, you are also offending the other, and it has nothing to do with your subjective will.

Many times offending people is unconsciously, you don't know who will damage someone's interests while helping this person, that is the most tangled thing, for Liu Feng, he didn't have much idea at the beginning, just out of respect for Qin Lao, the price paid by that generation is enough for future generations to respect!

Qin Wu smiled slightly and held Liu Feng's hand: "Isn't it too rude for Professor Liu to come to Qilian Province and not show up for me as the host?" ”
