Chapter 440: Welcome Banquet
On Tuesday, October 7, Liu Feng rushed to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee at five o'clock in the morning, and today he was going to take the train at six o'clock to Xingyuan County with Minister Wang to take office. Liu Feng didn't expect that Minister Wang would personally send him to office, but when he rested in the government hotel at night, he heard that Xingyuan County is worthy of the name!
It is said that it is more than 400 kilometers away from Tongxing City, and it is probably the farthest county seat from the city government except for some areas in Western Xinjiang. Accompanying Liu Feng and Minister Wang, there was also Li Na, director of the Xingyuan County Party Committee Office, who also came yesterday to greet the new secretary, but he didn't expect Liu Feng to arrive so soon.
The group first took the train for six hours, and just after 12 o'clock, they arrived at a small town called Qianqian Farm, which is said to be only half the way! Here, everyone took a short break, had a light meal in the canteen of the factory guest house on the farm, and then hit the road.
Liu Feng smacked his tongue secretly, this place is even more remote than the original Jiayu County, and the rest is a highway, nearly 200 kilometers is enough to bear. Liu Feng is not worried about himself, but about Minister Wang in front of him, after all, he is not young, he is still a lesbian, and it is enough to take a long car ride.
As Liu Feng imagined, it was a difficult journey, with potholes on the roads, not even as good as the dirt roads in the countryside. The car is like dancing on the road, although the driver has done his best, but this kind of road is not a problem for the gods to come.
Minister Wang put down the seat early, and her whole body was almost lying there, but fortunately the seat belt tied her firmly, otherwise she would really be unstable. It wasn't until more than eight o'clock in the evening that the car drove into the county seat of Xingyuan County, and the small border town at night was as if it was asleep, and there were few lights flickering.
The street lights on the street are dim, and the street trees on the side of the road are very lush, but in Liu Feng's opinion, this town is a town at best, where can it be called the county seat? I'm afraid the population of the town here will not exceed 50,000, right?
I had been in contact with the county halfway, so when the group arrived, the members of the county party committee were waiting in the hall of the canteen of the guest house. This can only be regarded as a guest house, a small bungalow, Liu Feng even doubted whether there was collective heating!
This way, Liu Feng, a guy with a strong physique like a cow, has been tossed enough, not to mention Minister Wang: "Just bring me a bowl of porridge, don't want anything, I'll talk about something tomorrow, rest and rest!" ”
The members of the county party committee seem to have gotten used to it, and have been sending Minister Wang to the guest room, which is not in the guest house, but in the only building in the entire Xingyuan County, a corner of the county government. It seems to be a separate opening for VIPs, with four rooms in a row, which is very neat and tidy.
Seeing that Minister Wang was settled, Liu Feng and his new colleagues returned to the cafeteria, and Li Na hurriedly introduced Liu Feng. Wang Yunlong, deputy secretary of the county magistrate, has a big belly, this is a very serious person, but a pair of eyes always seem to be open, even when he looks at Liu Feng, he is half-squinted.
The deputy secretary's red swallow and white hair made Liu Feng feel very fresh, usually the cadres of the organs pay attention to the image, even if they have gray hair, they will bleach. It seems that this secretary should not be the kind of person who pays attention to formalism, and this kind of person has two extremes that are the most difficult to get along with.
One is too sloppy, do you think, if a person doesn't even pay attention to his own image, will he pay attention to the others? The other is the famous Marxist-Leninist old lady in the early years, such a person is the best talent, who doesn't like anything new, and wants to intervene in everything, I don't know what this person is like?
Bao Weidong, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his great ancestor had the same face, their faces were dark and serious. It seems that everyone here is very serious, not just the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who looks bitter and hateful, Liu Feng wonders if there are debts outside and they don't want to come up!
Ge Yingying, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, looked at Liu Feng with a very professional eye, it seemed that this person had an occupational disease and doubted everything! Do you think that you, the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, will personally send it off, and the director of the county party committee office will greet the secretary of the county party committee, what will be the trouble? Speechless!
Organization Minister Wei Anran's face was wooden, without any expression, this guy who will be his closest comrade-in-arms in the future doesn't seem to welcome him very much! I don't know if it's too late, everyone has no energy?
Propaganda Minister Wang Yuyan is the third female member of the Standing Committee that Liu Feng met in Xingyuan County, and she is also the only member of the Standing Committee who is less than forty, of course, Liu Feng himself is not counted. Wang Yuyan is very delicate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a, or that her charm still exists.
It's just that it seems that this propaganda minister is a little out of place with others, and he stands far away from others, looking like I'm an outsider, but it has aroused Liu Feng's interest, this Wang Yuyan is interesting, there is a story!
**Minister Zhuo Wenxu finally squeezed out a little smile, but the smile was really stiff, and it had a bit of a smiling taste. Liu Feng secretly wondered in his heart, this one has such a face, how to go **? Not all of them have offended people!
Jiang Yongfang, Minister of People's Armed Forces, looks like a stocky person, and when he shakes hands, he is very strong, and the whole person is full of military flavor and neat. This is the frontier, presumably this Minister of People's Armed Forces will definitely not be like an inland area, just a tablet, and he should have a certain right to speak.
Xu Peiyan, executive deputy county magistrate, is the fourth woman in the team, and the proportion of female cadres in Xingyuan County is extraordinary, close to 40%, and it seems that there is no such proportion in other places. Women in politics have always been a vulnerable group, don't think that it is really half the sky, this goal may not be achieved in the next 500 years.
Let's get to know each other briefly, it's almost ten o'clock, Liu Feng suggested: "It's too late, everyone has to work tomorrow, just have a little food, and rest early." ”
Although he has not yet taken office, Liu Feng is already the squad leader, and this suggestion is indeed very timely, and no one objects. Liu Feng didn't drink, simply ate a few bites, and went to rest. He rejected the suggestion to go to the four high rooms of the county government, and directly opened a room in the guest house, and slept when he entered the house, which was the most fragrant sleep for Liu Feng that night.
The next day, he met again with the team of Xingyuan County, and spoke at the meeting of cadres at or above the deputy section level, and the team of Xingyuan County set up a sumptuous whole fish banquet for Minister Wang and Liu Feng. Stewed crucian carp, steamed fish pieces, stir-fried chili peppers with fish heart, braised white tower, boiled fish balls, delicious and exquisite dishes.
Because you are in the fish town, you have the saying of "eating fish cakes, drinking fish porridge, and worry-free fish and hair food in all seasons", and "fish oil overflowing in pots and pots". These accumulated food customs have created a food culture rich in local flavors.
The braised white tower is made of the nose of the fish shaped like the model of the white tower as the main ingredient, and is processed by braised cooking techniques, which is crispy, fragrant, sweet and delicious, and the nutrition and preciousness are no less than bear paws, bird's nests, and shark fins.
Liu Feng looked at this dish, listened to Li Na's introduction, and shook his head vigorously, corruption, corruption! How many precious rays do you need to make this dish? And looking at the size of the nose of the eel, I am afraid that each eel will exceed five catties!
Salmon heart stir-fried pepper with three-edged block salmon heart, each fish heart weighs about 3 grams, cut into slices, fried with peppers, placed into blocks as accessories, red and green are uneven, bright color, fragrant and slightly spicy, and the flavor is unique.
Compared to the previous one, it seems that this dish is more luxurious!
The most distinctive is to mix raw fish and ice and snow shavings fish fillet, mixed raw fish is a kind of fish that has just been caught from the river, such as carp, trout, Zheluo, fine scales, etc., bloodletting, deboning, taking meat, cut into shreds, adding good rice vinegar and soaking for a while, the shredded fish meat that has become pale white and solid is mixed with the cut cucumber shreds, blanched ground shreds, mung bean sprouts, etc.
Then add an appropriate amount of chili oil, coriander, salt, sugar and other condiments, that is, sour, spicy and fragrant, fresh, cool, sweet and refreshing sashimi dish. Mixed raw fish is a famous appetizer in Xingyuan County, is an indispensable dish at the festival banquet, has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists to feast on their mouths, so it has the reputation of "Xingyuan's first dish".
The "shavings" fish fillet with the cool and refreshing frost is made of frozen jeral, fine scales, grass carp or pike, etc., and the fish skin is peeled off while it is frozen, and the fish meat is cut into 6x2 cm and 0.2 cm slices with a sharp knife.
Served with chilli oil, leek blossoms and rice vinegar, the cool, spicy, sour, and fragrant taste is incomparable for diners.
These two dishes are also Liu Feng's favorite, the cost is not high, the flavor is unique, and it can be called an excellent signature dish for banquets! This exquisite dish, as well as the increasingly expensive salmon caviar, sturgeon and caviar have formed a unique regional style and unique taste of the food culture of the East Pole border region of China.
However, after this big meal, Liu Feng's evaluation of the Xingyuan County team was inferior to the third level, and such a luxurious banquet was enough to break the cost in the eyes of the wealthy Liu someone. Not to mention anything else, it's the braised white tower and the fish heart stir-fried peppers, how much precious fresh fish do you need?
After the sumptuous welcome banquet, Minister Wang called Liu Feng to his side alone: "Secretary Liu, Xingyuan County is located in the hinterland of the Sanjiang Plain, with a vast area and rich resources, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery have broad development prospects.
However, the serious shortage of capital and human resources, and the lack of innovative ideas and innovation ability are the most serious problems that plague Xingyuan County. I hope that you will attach great importance to these contradictions and problems and be fully prepared to overcome all kinds of difficulties and deal with all kinds of risks.
This time, Xingyuan County was approved by the State Council as a first-class port for passengers and goods, which is an opportunity for development, and the team of Xingyuan County must enhance its sense of responsibility and urgency, seize the opportunity, work hard, and make every effort to promote economic and social development to a new level, and strive to create a new situation of building a well-off society in an all-round way. ”
Liu Feng found that the minister Wang was much more pragmatic than Gao Debao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Mi Anran, the mayor, and it seemed that she was more like a head of government. Looking at the gray-faced minister who was tossed by yesterday's trek, Liu Feng was very moved, if the members of the leadership team of Tongxing City can work hard like Minister Wang, I am afraid that Tongxing City will definitely not be the current level of development.
When Minister Wang went back, he took a steamer, which he really couldn't afford to toss, and although he walked a little slower by water, it was better to be comfortable. Fortunately, there was no urgent business to deal with, and Minister Wang was able to enjoy a wonderful journey in peace.
