Chapter 716: A Great Change in Concepts

These Huaibei men heard the four words "don't be restrained", where would they care about what is appropriate! For a time, the wine commander toasted all the guests, which was the so-called "full house", and everyone had to drink one or two glasses.

Even ladies can't escape, but fortunately, officialdom women, many of whom drink more, don't take such a little bit of wine seriously. Whether it is Lan Guangfen, Gan Liqian, or even Lin Hong, who has lived in the ministry for a long time, has a good amount of alcohol, although it can't catch up with Liu Feng's perverts, it is enough to deal with it.

Then focus on toasting, and toast a lot, and now Liu Feng has become the target of everyone's key attack. Originally, Liu Feng brought great changes to Liujialou Township, which made the people extremely grateful, with such an opportunity, how could they let it go?

The villagers' way of thanking is simple, so simple that it is impossible to refuse. These simple men don't even say too many words of thanks, just raise their glasses and do it, Liu Feng is not pretentious, and he doesn't refuse to come, which sets off the climax of the banquet.

Many times the common people are still very restrained in front of officials, and with a young official like Liu Feng who has no shelf at all, everyone can drink to their heart's content. If you replace those old fritters in officialdom, you will never drink like this with the common people.

They also have to look at the object of drinking, to see if it is worth drinking more, for some people, any occasion is an opportunity for the exchange of interests. This is especially true of the wine bureau, where the breadth and profundity of Chinese wine culture lies in the mentality of the participants.

At the wine table, the attention to the position of the guest of honor, the attention to the position of the accompanying guest, and even the division of the level of the guest all show the dignity and humility of thousands of years of inheritance. These particularities are particularly obvious in Huaiyang Province, a place where ancient Chinese culture is inherited.

Three cups, six cups to drink, and there is a guessing fist to cheer up, and if you lose, you will be punished for drinking, and the atmosphere of the banquet is extremely lively. Don't look at the word punishment for drinking, but it is not a simple punishment, but more of a means to set off the atmosphere.

The host picks up the dishes for the guests, such as the whole chicken, tears off the chicken legs and puts them in the bowls of the first and second seats, and the other guests pick chicken breasts, chicken wings, and so on.

Just look at Lan Guangfen and Liu Feng's bowls, who is the guest of honor at this banquet, and Gan Liqian next to her has become a foil. Mayor Gan's heart is far broader than that of men, and the female mayor has been smiling, allowing Liu to become the center of the wine bureau.

Lan Guangfen sighed lightly: "The common people have the most direct temperament, whoever is good to them, they are like children, they will dedicate all their enthusiasm to you." ”

Gan Liqian felt a lot, and nodded emphatically: "What the minister said is that Professor Liu came here to solve not only the development direction of Liujialou Township, but also the lamp of hope here." Today, the people here are full of confidence in the future, and this is what they are most happy about. ”

Yin Huaxin looked at Professor Liu, who was blending in with the common people, and even had a little envy in her heart: "Professor Liu is really getting along with the common people, looking at this scene, who would have thought that this is a visiting professor at the Yanjing Party School, the famous Liu Feng?" ”

The three women looked at each other and smiled, in fact, Liu Feng's performance also blocked a lot of enthusiasm for several female cadres. If there is no Liu to deal with it in front, the enthusiasm of these ordinary people is bound to be vented to several leaders, and it will be time for the three to be embarrassed.

Today's dishes are mainly local dishes, such as fried mutton, charred fried mutton, shredded mutton with dried moss, red chop mutton, tripe three kinds, beef hoof flower, and mutton soup. Although these dishes are not as exquisite as those star-rated restaurants in Yanjing City, they have a feeling of returning to the basics.

The cooking has local characteristics, such as roasting white beef, using beef leg meat, simmering it in a clay pot until it is cooked thoroughly, then cutting it into thin slices and putting it in a pot, drizzling sesame oil, white soy sauce, sprinkled with red pepper shreds, coriander shreds, and minced garlic, which has a unique flavor for eating.

This simple operation method maintains the taste of the beef itself to the greatest extent, and when eaten in the mouth, it is definitely richer in taste than delicate dishes with too many seasonings, and it is also more suitable for the taste of foodies like Liu Feng.

Liu Feng tasted the delicious Huaibei famous dishes and was full of praise: "These delicious dishes can be used as the flavor dishes of the future farmhouse restaurant, which will surely make people have endless memories and linger, these are the wealth of Liujialou Township and Tangshan County." ”

Lan Guangfen said with a smile: "What Professor Liu said is that the biggest feature of the food here is that every dish has a historical connotation, and every dish has a historical allusion to match. This is the richest treasure left to us by Huaibei, a place of historical and cultural inheritance. ”

The biggest gain of this banquet is the folk artists who were invited to participate, who saw the importance of the leaders to their own craftsmanship and the value of their craftsmanship. And these are the things they rely on for survival, and they are the magic weapons for them to get rich in the future.

After an old man toasted Liu Feng, he solemnly promised: "Chief, please rest assured, I will do my best to produce when I go back, and strive to produce enough beautiful products before the New Year to deliver them to the folk art supply and marketing company." ”

Liu Feng said with a smile: "I hope that not only you will produce it yourself, but also organize your relatives and fellow villagers to produce together." Don't have the idea of cherishing yourself, you know, only when the commodity has a certain output, can it have commercial value.

For example, no one will buy 50 catties of glutinous rice, it needs to go to the village to sell it yourself. But with a thousand tons of glutinous rice, it will attract rice merchants from other places to come and buy it, and that's when you really benefit. ”

More than a dozen folk artists who were invited to attend agreed with Liu Feng's statement: "Leader, what you said is a reason, the lamps, paintings, and shoes we made in the past, no one paid attention to them at all." I think that's what you said, it's not enough, it's not enough to buy once. ”

Lan Yuanhai assured the artists: "Rest assured, from now on, the folk art supply and marketing company will be open to purchase, and before the arrival of the lunar year, it will be collected at any time, and it will never be white!" ”

When the village cadres first publicized in the village, they were not accepted by the people, and those things that were used to it could also be valuable? In the countryside, this backward way of thinking is often the biggest obstacle to local economic development.

When the first batch of villagers who dared to try it really exchanged New Year's paintings, foreign snake lamps and medicinal cloth shoes for money, the villagers finally began to believe that these things that have been inherited for hundreds of years and used to decorate their own New Year festivals can really increase their income!

The peasants are a very simple group of people, they like things that can be seen and touched, and they don't like those cadres who talk about it to fool around. Only this kind of cash transaction is the most impressive to the people, as long as they taste the sweetness, they will invest the greatest enthusiasm.

For a time, the township interest-free loan raw materials became a hot commodity, in order to prevent individual people from embezzling limited resources, the township restricted, must use finished products to exchange raw materials. And only the first time you take the raw materials is an interest-free loan, and then you have to trade with cash.

Yin Huaxin asked confusedly: "Professor Liu, don't you want to vigorously promote this work?" Why don't you always provide raw materials for free? ”

Liu Feng sighed: "When I was working in the countryside in the past, I found that some farmers did not have the concept of commodity economy, and even more lacked the ability to manage their finances. Some people have spare money in hand, not thinking about expanding reproduction, but content with pleasure.

Such a policy can prevent these farmers from borrowing raw materials in a disorderly manner, resulting in the waste of all the funds they have received, which will put a heavy burden on their backs. I don't want that to happen, so the scale of borrowing needs to be controlled, and borrowing must be done in an orderly manner, and even more so in moderation. ”

Gong Hai nodded again and again: "Professor Liu, I didn't expect you to know so much about the actual situation in the countryside, as you said, some farmers do not have good financial management skills, and even squander their loans and gambling, so this policy is very necessary." ”

When Liu Feng was in Shan Yu Township, he saw some ordinary people, with the poverty alleviation money sent by their superiors, instead of buying means of production, they first purchased New Year's goods and made a full meal, and as for next year's spring sowing production, they would not take it to heart.

There are not a few such peasants, and in Liu Feng's view, this phenomenon needs to be guided by cadres. Thousands of years of bad habits have made some farmers accustomed to eating and using the New Year, and they will not plan for the next year at all, let alone look farther.

Of course, this is only a minority, and many farmers have become more and more receptive to new things, and more people have embarked on the road of sustainable development. Liu Feng looked at Lan Yuanhai with a smile: "Township Chief Lan, how is your company's marketing work?" ”

Lan Yuanhai smiled slightly: "Professor Liu, just take a look, I have rented a store in Yanjing City right now, and the name is Folk Art New Year Store." Right there in Liulichang, the advertisement will soon appear on CCTV, this is a free public service advertisement! ”

Liu Feng was not satisfied with such an achievement: "That's all? ”

"Professor Liu, we have only just started less than twenty days, and we have already done this step very quickly, haven't you seen me become a national treasure? I haven't rested for several nights, but you don't have to worry, and then near the big and medium-sized cities, I will go to set up stores, and some will associate with local businesses. ”

Liu Feng smiled relievedly, but also, they had only been here for a few days, and it seemed that Lan Yuanhai's ability was still quite good: "Okay, I'll praise you, you move fast enough!" Huang Lu, I found that I can't see you these days, I don't know what you're busy with? ”

Lan Yuanhai bared his teeth, is this boaster also so different? Huang Lu smiled: "Back to Professor Liu's words, isn't this the boss now, I go to the village every day to publicize the quality specifications of the goods, so that the people can be familiar with these as much as possible, so as to save them from detours." ”

Although the time is too short, the folk art supply and marketing company has not yet received a single foreign order, but everyone is full of expectations for this business. Nowadays, even the people of Liujialou Township have seen the doorway, and many family-style workshops have begun to produce day and night.

In fact, there is no farmer's careful thinking in this, and some people are really afraid that the purchase money of the folk art supply and marketing company will be gone, so they will stop the purchase. In the eyes of the common people, no matter how beautiful the pie is, it is not enough to quench hunger.
