A few days later, Yuan Jinpeng went to Ping'an County with Yu Sihai to investigate. Yu Sihai's youth and handsomeness surprised him. Although working in the same yard, it was the first time I had close contact. Yu Sihai looks to be in his early forties, tall and thin, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose, and his gestures exude the charming charm of a mature man. No wonder the market calls him "Star Minister". Yuan Jinpeng was a little nervous, but he didn't expect Minister Yu to take him alone except for the driver. It was a more than hour's drive from Qingchuan to Xiangyang Town, Ping'an County, and Minister Yu occasionally took his mobile phone to answer a few calls, and did not talk much at other times. Yuan Jinpeng sat upright in the passenger seat, not saying a word, but his brain turned quickly. Obviously, this is a pretty good opportunity if it's taken right.

The car drove into the government compound of Xiangyang Town and slowly stopped in front of the office building, Yuan Jinpeng hurriedly got out of the car and reached out to open the back door, but saw Huang Tao quickly stepped forward to open the car door and welcomed Yu Sihai down. Huang Tao was recently transferred to the Standing Committee of the county party committee and head of the organization department. Ding Jiahua, Secretary of the Party Committee of Xiangyang Town, and Zhang Qiang, Mayor of Xiangyang Town, stood with their hands bowed respectfully, and laughed with them on the side in a restrained manner, until Huang Tao made an introduction, and their expressions relaxed a little.

Yu Sihai did things vigorously and resolutely, and after listening to Ding Jiahua's brief introduction to the basic situation of Xiangyang Town, he immediately set off and went straight to Huangjia Village, a large vegetable village three kilometers away. Yuan Jinpeng found that Yu Sihai was not only familiar with agricultural economics, but also an expert in research. For more than three hours, Yu Sihai visited seven or eight peasant households to learn more about the details of the planting and circulation of vegetables and other cash crops. After a brief lunch, they drove non-stop to Kuzhu Village. Traveling on the gravel road of the ravines, the brand-new "Cherokee" lost its temper and could only move forward slowly.

Three or four years have passed, and Kuzhu Village is still so bitter, and there is almost no change. The village party secretary is still Lu Guofu, a Lu Guofu who has added more gray hair. Yuan Jinpeng was a little disappointed, and he remembered one word: twilight. The village in the twilight, the villagers in the twilight, the village cadres in the twilight. Yu Sihai was well-informed, and did not seem to be surprised by the poverty and dilapidation of Kuzhu Village, so he looked for village cadres to find farmers to understand the situation with great interest, and finally led everyone to climb the barren mountain behind the village. It's early spring, but the mountains are full of dead trees and branches, and the low shrubs are sprouting a few green shoots, revealing some life.

Yu Sihai pointed to the devastated barren mountain: "Secretary Ding, why don't you shoot this barren mountain?" Barren mountains are being auctioned everywhere. ”

Ding Jiahua smiled embarrassedly: "Minister Yu, I have organized it a few times, but no one came to shoot." ”

"The people of Kuzhu Village have always had little sense of property rights, and everyone cuts down trees and bamboos. So the people in my village were reluctant to shoot, and the outsiders didn't dare to shoot considering the difficulties of forest protection. Yuan Jinpeng added.

Yu Sihai thought for a while, and turned his face to Lu Guofu: "Old Lu, if this is the case, the village committee should be responsible for organizing greening and forest protection." It's a shame that I'm here. ”

Lu Yufu shook his head with a sad face, and was about to explain, but was gently pulled away by Ding Jiahua: "Minister Yu, we will do our best to implement your instructions." ”

"What are you going to plant?" Yu Sihai asked.

Ding Jiahua knew that Dong Yuhua, deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, advocated giving priority to planting moso bamboo, but he didn't know Minister Yu's thinking, so he didn't answer rashly, and motioned to Lu Guofu to say.

Lu Guofu snorted: "Fir, Masson pine, bamboo." ”

Yu Sihai nodded: "The mixed forest, mainly moso bamboo, supplemented by fir and masson pine. However, I think there are still a few plots of land that can be used to grow medicinal herbs, such as eucommia ulmoides and magnolia bark. The question now is how to make good use of this barren mountain before the bamboo becomes a forest. ”

Ding Jiahua and Lu Guofu looked at each other, not knowing what Yu Sihai meant.

Yu Sihai then asked: "No one in your village can grow shiitake mushrooms and fungus?" ”

Lu Guofu said: "There are a few elderly people who can use this technology. ”

Yu Sihai shook his head: "No, I mean the technique of building a shed to grow poplop mushrooms." Secretary Ding can take people out to study. ”

Ding Jiahua said: "We have wanted to go for a long time, and we will arrange it immediately." ”

Yu Sihai looked up and saw the winding gravel path in the distance, and said: "The biggest bottleneck in Kuzhu Village is the traffic problem, and your town and village party organizations must do everything possible to lead the people along the way to repair the road. ”

Ding Jiahua said: "We want to build a two-lane cement road, with a budget of about 3 million, and the people in the villages along the way can raise up to hundreds of thousands, but the funding gap is too big to dare to do it." ”

"We should strive for provincial and local poverty alleviation project funds, you can report the project as much as possible, and the provincial, local planning commission, poverty alleviation office, and transportation bureau will coordinate." Yu Sihai said.

Ding Jiahua said excitedly: "Thank you, Minister Yu!" Thank you so much! ”

Lu Guofu sighed: "Minister Liu built a bridge for us, Minister Yu built a cement road for us, you are the great benefactor of the Kuzhu people!" ”

Yu Sihai said: "It's serious, we have to solve some practical problems when we come out to investigate. Which Minister Liu? ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "Liu Zhenji, the former director of the Organization Department of the county party committee, has been transferred to the organization department of the provincial party committee. ”

"Oh, Liu Zhenji." Yu Sihai is obviously familiar with Liu Zhenji.

Back at the town hall, it was the beginning of the lanterns. As soon as Yu Sihai got out of the car, he was a little surprised to see Zhou Qiushui and Chen Wensheng coming up.

Zhou Qiushui shook hands in front of him: "Minister Yu is light and simple, if you don't let us accompany you to investigate, then you must let us accompany you for a meal." Otherwise, we won't be able to sleep well. ”

"Secretary Zhou is polite, I'm afraid of disturbing your normal work." Yu Sihai said.

Walking into the cafeteria, I saw Zhang Mujin and Jiang Pingping standing at the door of the box. Yuan Jinpeng learned that Zhang Mujin had just been transferred to Xiangyang Town as deputy secretary of the party committee, and Jiang Pingping was promoted to executive deputy mayor. The large round table in the cafeteria can seat fifteen or six people. Yu Sihai sat in the center, Zhou Qiushui and Chen Wensheng on the left and right, and the rest of the people were on both sides.

Yu Sihai looked left and right, and quipped: "Secretary Zhou's left army is against County Magistrate Chen's right army, and I am the referee." ”

"Minister Yu is the marshal of the Chinese army, and Wen Sheng and I are vanguard officers, under your command." Zhou Qiushui said.

Yu Sihai laughed: "Just kidding, you guys drink, I don't drink much." ”

Zhou Qiushui said: "Minister Yu looks down on our poor county of Ping'an and refuses to have fun with the people." However, we brought the wine. ”

Zhang Qiang was about to tear off the outer packaging of Wuliangye, and Yu Sihai said: "Don't open this wine, I won't drink this wine."

"Didn't Minister Yu drink Wuliangye?" Zhou Qiushui is very confident in the information he has.

Yu Sihai said: "If you really want to drink, you can have some local wine or some beer." ”

Chen Wensheng said: "Minister Yu, we don't produce liquor, and it's too cold to drink beer now. Let's drink Wuliangye. ”

"Wuliangye really can't be drunk!" Yu Sihai smiled, but his tone was resolute.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Yuan Jinpeng said: "I remember that the canteen has been brewing bayberry wine, and it is Gu Shochu soaked bayberry, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Yu Sihai said: "This is a good thing! When I was a child, I had a lot of bayberry wine at home, and if I had a bad stomach or something, drinking some bayberry wine would show immediate results. ”

"Your family also drinks grain shochu?" Zhou Qiushui asked.

Yu Sihai said: "I really miss that time, when the material land was poor, but everyone helped each other and lived in harmony, and the atmosphere was really good." My father was working in the county at that time, and he spent more than ten or twenty days a month in the countryside, eating and living in people's homes. Occasionally, some villagers send some sweet potatoes, taro, mung beans or something, and a friend of my father's club makes a big jar of bayberry wine almost every year. That's why I have a soft spot for bayberry wine! ”

The bayberry wine made when the bayberry was put on the market last year was a deep red color at this time, and it looked good when poured into a glass.

Zhou Qiushui picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently: "Not bad, it's very mellow." ”

Chen Wensheng reminded: "There is a bayberry wine in Lixi County, called October 3. It tastes peaceful, but it's terrible to drink too much. When I was working in the Education Bureau, I was taught once, I got drunk and slept for a day. ”

Zhou Qiushui stood up and picked up his wine glass: "For the first glass, let's pay tribute to the minister together, and everyone will come together." I sincerely ask Minister Yu to come to us for more inspections and guidance. ”

Everyone stood up with their wine glasses, and Yu Sihai said, polite, don't dare to be. Zhou Qiushui raised his neck and drank it all. The others followed suit and drank the wine from their cups in two sips. Minister Yu was bold and drank all the wine in the cup.

Huang Tao flicked the turntable on the table, turned the braised wild soft-shelled turtle and stewed stone chicken to Yu Sihai, and said, "Minister Yu, this is wild, taste it." ”

Yu Sihai picked up a piece of soft-shelled turtle foot: "When I was a child, there were a lot of foot fish, but now it has become a rarity." Eat a piece, or you will scold me for being unkind. ”

Chen Wensheng said: "Minister Yu's simple, simple and thrifty style is worth learning from!" ”

Yu Sihai said sincerely: "I hope everyone understands me. I don't have an alcohol addiction, it's not that I don't drink for socials. If I have to drink it, I like to drink Wuliangye on the right occasion, but I don't have to drink Wuliangye. In the past, there was a secretary of Moutai in our region, and if this continues, won't I become the minister of Wuliangye? We must not allow the cadres and the masses to have such a misunderstanding of me. ”

Zhou Qiushui picked up his glass: "It's because we are not careful, I salute the minister." ”

Yu Sihai said: "It's not so strict, don't talk about it, drink!" ”

Zhang Mujin used to work in Fengling, and it was rare to experience this kind of scene, and he was a little overwhelmed. Yuan Jinpeng frequently made a look at her and asked her to take the initiative to toast, but she didn't seem to be able to wipe off her face and didn't react for a long time.

However, Jiang Pingping seemed to be active and generous, and when Zhang Mujian hesitated, he picked up his wine glass and left his seat, walked to Yu Sihai's side, bent down slightly, and leaned forward: "Minister Yu, I am Jiang Pingping, it is rare to have the opportunity to toast you, you can drink a little at will, and I will do it all." ”

After that, drink all the bayberry wine in the cup.

Yu Sihai swept the wine glass in his hand: "Xiao Jiang, how can I drink as much as I want?" Drink half of it. ”

Jiang Pingping smiled: "Thank you, Minister Yu!" ”

Yuan Jinpeng signaled again and asked Zhang Mujian to come forward to toast. This is obviously a good time to toast, and Minister Yu only has a small half glass of wine in his glass.

Zhang Mujin poured the cup full of wine and walked to Minister Yu's side: "Minister Yu, on behalf of all the women of Xiangyang Town, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine, you can appreciate it." ”

With that, he lightly touched Yu Sihai's wine glass, and poured the wine down his throat.

Minister Yu stood up, drank half a glass of wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Hehe, on behalf of the women of Xiangyang Town, then I have to do it all." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mujin seemed shy, but his shot was very atmospheric. Yuan Jinpeng thought to himself, this little girl has made great progress.

On the way back to Qingchuan, Yu Sihai still didn't say a few words, it seemed that this little wine was not enough to open his chatterbox. Perhaps, even if he is drunk, he doesn't talk much. Yuan Jinpeng was a little excited, and he wanted to find something to talk about several times, but experience reminded him that he must not talk too much after drinking. After getting out of the car, he was relieved, many times, forcing himself to shut up is not a kind of cultivation!
