Chapter 15 The Reception Banquet

Zhao Wenhuai said a few words briefly, and then Han Changtai said a few more words, and the two of them said much the same, both of them were encouraging and encouraging. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, even if there is a problem, it will not be said during the meal, and the work and the meal can be completely separated.

After the two finished speaking, the people below responded with warm applause, and then the feast began. Here, the secretary general of the Shunchang Municipal Government Office nodded to a middle-aged man who looked like a foreman, and then the waiter brought up the food like an assembly line.

The span of the two rivers is relatively large, and the geographical location was very important in ancient times. In the south, there is Xin'an City, which is as famous as Taide City in Jiangdong Province, a famous historical and cultural city in China, and has the title of Jiangnan Water Town. Shunchang City belongs to the north according to the current north-south division, and in ancient times it was the Central Plains. It has a long history and cultural heritage, and although there are few historical sites left, the traditional culture has been well preserved. Of course, this is also related to the development of the economy, since the reform and opening up, although the subordinate counties and cities of Shazhou City have developed rapidly, a few years ago there is a "small East China Sea" title, but and the eastern coastal cities can not be compared. The people here are still dealing with the people around them, and they still come according to their local customs when eating.

In Shunchang City, there are more rules on the wine table. When serving, there is a saying of "three firsts and three lasts". The three first refers to: one is to serve cold dishes first, the second is to serve signature dishes, and the third is to serve one or two fruits or desserts in the first dishes. The three queens are: "three whole" (i.e., whole chicken, whole fish, whole strong son: the root of the hind legs of the pig, the local dialect saying. It must be served at the end, and the soup should also be ranked at the end of the stir-fry, and at the end, the round cup of wine will be drunk, and everyone will eat some pasta according to their personal state.

In the workplace, there is a general rule, that is: the leader should persuade everyone to drink the first glass of wine first, and when the leader does not say, he must not drink it himself. Huang Jiangkang, as the mayor of Shunchang City, is also the highest-level, and it is natural that he came to toast the first glass of wine. Then several leaders toasted each other first, and then everyone really drank.

"Xiao Li, let's go one." Chen Chen picked up his wine glass and said to Li Mu.

"I should respect you first, how can I let you come first." Li Mu also hurriedly picked up the wine cup and said. He touched the wine cup with Chen Chen and drank the wine.

"Ha, you are from the province, and the size is also our leader, how can you let you respect me." Chen Chen was very useful to Li Mu's humility, and said with a smile. Then he glanced at the others, and the other scholars, Chen Chen, who looked like them, toasted Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at Chen Chen, but thought in his heart: "This Chen Chen's status in the government will definitely not be as low as he said." "The table is made of young people, and the older ones are thirty-two or three. This arrangement is also to let young people have a topic together and make the atmosphere of the banquet more lively.

Without waiting for Li Mu to think about it, someone had already raised a glass to Li Mu, Li Mu and Chen Chen had already drunk it, so it was difficult to refuse others, so they also drank with him. A table of people got down, and Li Mu drank five or six cups of wine in a row, and the alcohol rushed straight to his mind, and he was a little dizzy.

Shunchang people drink wine with small wine cups, the very small kind, which can be drunk in one sip. However, the Shunchang people are well-known throughout the country for persuading wine, and some people say: "I would rather drink a big bowl of wine with the people of the Northeast than use a small cup with the people of Shunchang." "When the people of Shunchang drink, they like to put a few people in front of one person after drinking their own wine, and then after this person drinks these glasses of wine, they distribute it and become a flowing cup, and then call it away.

"Brother Lu, Brother Yu, Brother Ang, Xiao Li, I invite you to a drink." Chen Chen said to the others at the table. Chen Chen drank a glass with them, took the wine cup in his hand, filled it with wine, and put it in front of Li Mu in turn and said, "I wish you five blessings, this is called blessing wine." ”

"Brother Chen, I know that there is still a clear purpose below, and there must be six or six great shuns, seven exquisite tricks, eight immortals crossing the sea, nine days and the moon, and perfect. I also know how I came out of Shunchang, I know all this. Li Mu smiled bitterly, looking at the four wine cups in front of him, there were many obvious eyes below that persuaded people to drink. But you can't shirk it, this is the master's blessing wine, according to the idea of the Shunchang people, you resigned, that is, the blessing is driven away, and you don't give the toaster face, both sides are not pleased, this is a reason why outsiders are afraid of drinking with Shunchang people.

In fact, there is a way to quit, that is, don't let the wine cup fall in front of you, just give the wine to others before the wine cup falls. But you can't give the wine cup to others after the wine cup falls, because the "blessings" given to you by others are on yourself when the wine cup falls, and then you can give the wine cup to others....... and you will know if you think about it.

"In this way, let's eat vegetables first, eat vegetables. Drinking on an empty stomach hurts the body, and I haven't eaten our Shunchang dishes for a long time. Li Mu said to them, picked up chopsticks and added a piece of greens.

"Drink it first, and then eat, or everyone has no wine, and it's not good to be empty in front of you." Chen Chen looked at Li Mu's handling method, and knew what he wanted to pay attention to, that is, the wine cup was placed in front of him, not to say whether to drink, but also not to say when to drink, the initiative was in Li Mu's hands. While the others didn't have a wine cup, they could only watch. It's not Shunchang people, even if you drink with them three or four times, you can't understand it.

"The taste of this beef, you can't eat it when you go out of Shunchang." Li Mu sandwiched another piece of beef and did not answer Chen Chen's words. Let Chen Chen only watch from the sidelines.

The people at the table are not too high-level, like Li Mu, although he is at the level of a deputy department, but unlike the deputy department in the county bureau below, some of them can be in charge. None of the people sitting here have leadership positions, and everyone can speak openly, without looking at their ranks. Otherwise, if Li Mu says this, he will definitely offend people. This is what people you see and what you say in the workplace.

Chen Chen saw that he couldn't move Li Mu, so he had to find Tai Yuncheng's matter, in fact, he didn't need to say it, the other people who still had wine cups in front of him also drank it to him, and they made up enough four wine cups, and the people who drank wine said: "The four seasons are safe, and the wine is safe." ”

"Now that the wine cups are all in Xiao Li and Xiao Tai, the two of you should also express something." Chen Chen said.

"Hmm." Chen Chen nodded in response. He looked at the cup in front of him and Li Mu, and felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up a glass of wine and said to Li Mu: "Xiao Li, let's drink one for the two of us, so that the wine can go out." ”

Li Mu drank one with him, but he was already silently mourning for Tai Yuncheng in his heart, and he didn't have any concentration at all, so he could only wait to be poured down. In Shunchang, you buckle down the wine cup and put it there and don't drink it, as long as it doesn't take too long, no one will blame you, but the medium scale is grasped according to the situation. On the contrary, they will think that you are not a good person to deal with, and the toast will stop in the future. Because if you hold the wine cup, there will be fewer wine cups, and the atmosphere in the banquet will naturally drop a little. Shunchang people are good-looking, all want to make every guest happy, if drinking, there is no drinking atmosphere, it can only mean that the host is too good at doing things, and it will naturally make the host feel disgraced.

As Li Mu expected, Li Mu gradually finished the wine glass, but Tai Yuncheng had already been poured twice by them. So much so that when he speaks, he has a big tongue. …….
