With laughter, the door of the private room was pushed open, and then two people came in, one of them was wearing glasses, Svenwen, his hair was neatly groomed, and he looked like a figure on the row, and the other was slightly chubby, with a black face, like a follower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the two of them saw the old village chief sitting in the room, their faces were immediately filled with smiles, and the Sven man said "I'm sorry" twice, and then said, "We're late, so you have to wait for a long time, Village Chief Liu." ”

When the old village chief saw the two of them coming in, he didn't stand up very enthusiastically to greet them, but just pointed to his seat very casually and said, "Sit down, we just came." ”

There's learning in that.

On the one hand, it shows that they do not treat each other as outsiders, and on the other hand, they do not lose the meaning of intimacy.

Immediately afterwards, the old village chief introduced Lin Yi: "This is Comrade Li Weimin from the No. 1 Primary School in Tanghe County, who is also the principal of the school, and that one is the school's teaching director, Comrade Feng Dashan, who is an old acquaintance with me, so don't be polite to them." ”

At this time, Li Weimin saw Lin Yi sitting next to the old village chief, and knew that this must be the young man he asked the old village chief to introduce, so he said enthusiastically: "Presumably you are Lin Yi, it's better to see than to hear, you are really young and promising." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "I'm ashamed, I was fooling around outside, and I didn't make a name for myself, and when I used to go to school, my academic performance was also very poor...... Of course, if you had met Principal Li earlier, maybe you would have been in a better situation, and I heard that you are teaching very well. ”

Li Weimin didn't expect Lin Yi to say this, and immediately became happy, feeling that this young man was very good at talking, and said: "The past does not mean the future, let alone the future!" What's more, I heard the old village chief say that you are very good now, and you can be regarded as returning to your hometown, well, it is also worth celebrating if you have made a lot of money outside! ”

Dizzy, Lin Yi realized that he was so famous now, he seemed to be a nouveau riche, no wonder the people in the village looked at him differently.

"Hehe, Principal Li probably misunderstood, where do I make money, it's all a small fight and a small mess outside to do business and eat." Lin Yi had to explain.

Obviously, his explanations are useless, at least Li Weimin doesn't believe it, and the old village chief doesn't believe it either, especially the old village chief quipped: "I heard that the car you drove home is worth three million, is this still unsuccessful?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned, and immediately thought that this news must have been spread by Cao Yidao's guy, compared to keeping a low profile at any time, Lao Cao is a firecracker that can be lit at any time, and you never know when he will explode.

Who is Li Weimin, seeing that Lin Yi was stunned, he smiled again: "Okay, don't say it, don't say it, I said so much, I haven't started ordering yet." Li Yi, you need more, I'm here to be slaughtered today! ”

However, this time, Lin Yi did not immediately pick up the menu, but said to Li Weimin with a smile: "I am really not familiar with the dishes here, so it is better to bother Village Chief Liu to order them---

Li Weimin couldn't help but be stunned, and felt more and more that Lin Yi understood the world very well. You must know that the old village chief is the oldest of the four, and he is Lin Yi's fellow villager, and he is also very prestigious in the village, and he likes to do his best in the affairs of the village, so he should be respected.

The old village chief didn't refuse, he straightened his waist, and the waist that was hunched down by the village affairs turned out to be much straighter. For him, being able to order food in front of cultural people like President Li is also a face-saving thing.

So the old village chief coughed and said, "Speaking of the food here, I often come to eat...... I have eaten many times with those township chiefs and committee members, miscellaneous officials, and the good and bad are just like that, now I will order a few good ones for everyone to taste......"

As he spoke, the old village chief took the menu handed over by the waiter, looked at it a few times, and casually reported seven or eight peasant dishes, and then said, "These are the signature dishes of this restaurant, you must try them...... I'm old, and my teeth are bad, so you'll have to eat with your belly open, or you'll waste it! ”

Li Weimin said with a smile: "What can't be wasted, can't be eaten and packed." Then he said, "Oh, by the way, good food can't be without good wine, I happened to have two bottles of good wine in the car, and I went to bring them." With that, he quit the door, went straight to the service desk, and settled the old village chief's order first.

Without waiting for him to speak, the waitress dressed as a peasant girl with a ponytail bent down from under the bar, took out a cloth bag, which contained two large and exquisite wine boxes, and smiled at Li Weimin, "Principal Li, these two bottles of wine of yours are really good wine." Listen to the drunkard Zhang who is in charge, your two bottles of liquor are hundreds of times larger, and they are too expensive, right? ”

It turned out that these two bottles of wine were brought by Li Weimin early in the morning and put here, specially for the purpose of entertaining the old village chief and Lin Yi this time.

Li Weimin obviously greeted the owner of this restaurant, it is considered a guest, the dishes in his private room are extremely fast, in an instant, the eight farmhouse signature dishes are all on the table, take a closer look, all are ordinary home cooking, mapo tofu, boiled cabbage, green onion and osmanthus fish, dried meat sausage, white cut meat, vegetarian chopping machine, braised lion's head, steamed balls.

Looking at it widely, not only are the dishes ordinary, but even the appearance is quite ordinary, but Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

If it is replaced by Lin Yi in the past, he will definitely not see the good luck of these dishes, but now, Lin Yi, who is accustomed to seeing big scenes and walking in Hong Kong, understands that the simpler it is, the less simple it is, and he knows that the chef with real kung fu is capable and does not show his skills in the precious dishes, after all, the precious ingredients are the taste of the dishes, and ordinary people also owe it to the ingredients, and the famous chef is not allowed to show his skills.

There is a saying that the best chefs disdain to cook expensive ingredients.

Lin Yi knows that this eight-course home-cooked dish must be the signature of the restaurant, and looking at the dishes that look very ordinary, he is even more sure that these eight dishes must be amazing.

It's like telling a story, and what is preached will be legendary and unexpected.

These eight signature dishes, the dishes are ordinary, the appearance is average, and they have won a great reputation, but how can the taste be bad.

The old village chief seemed to be very confident in the dishes he ordered, so he beckoned Li Weimin, Lin Yi and others and said, "Try it, how does this home-cooked food taste?" ”

Lin Yi was not polite, took a piece of cabbage with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth,

Suddenly, crispy, tender, fragrant, and slippery all fried the taste buds, chewed more than ten times, and the taste was still endless.

When Lin Yi tasted it, the old village chief's attention was always fixed on his face, and when he saw that he was intoxicated between his eyebrows, he smiled contentedly, "Xiaoyi, this taste is good, the farm food here is really good!" As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

"The taste is really good, I didn't expect there to be such a good restaurant near our village!" Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and smiled.

"Hehe, there are a lot of old things in our hometown, but the road is blocked, and those outside can't get in, and the good ones can't get out." The old village chief took a sip of his wine glass and sighed.

Li Weimin hurriedly got up to fill him up.

The old village chief said again: "I'll pour myself a drink, you can do whatever you want, leave me alone." Then there was another cough, which showed that you should not drink too much.

So Li Weimin and Principal Li smiled at Lin Yi, "Then let's have a drink first?" ”

Feng Dashan also smiled: "Yes, drink it first." ”

Lin Yi hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and except for the old village chief, the three of them drank it all.

……

After drinking, the words are easy to say.

Lin Yi was thinking about what the purpose of Li Weimin's treat tonight was.

is willing to spend so much effort to invite guests to dinner, it seems that the purpose of finding himself is not simple......

"Lin Yi, in fact, I invited you here this time because I have something to discuss with you, that ...... Alas" Li Weimin opened his mouth, seemingly a little embarrassed. sighed in my heart, when was the time, I was also a person with a face in the county, but today I have to accompany a descendant to eat, and I won't be laughed at when I say it, fortunately, Lin Yi knows how to be sophisticated, otherwise, Li Weimin will be even more embarrassed.

Director Feng Dashan next to him didn't come to make soy sauce, so when he saw this, he took the initiative to cause a topic and said: "Principal Li actually has a treat this time, and he wants your help with something......

Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and listened carefully.

As soon as Li Weimin heard this, he couldn't help but quietly kicked Feng Dashan under the table, meaning, it's too direct, you have to be tactful.

Feng Dashan was puzzled, and said in his mouth: "Principal Li, what are you kicking me for?" ”

Li Weimin's old face turned red, and he said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I thought there was a puppy picking up bones below......"

Feng Dashan looked down: "How can there be a dog in this house, you are too careful." ”

"Hehe, yes, yes!" Li Weimin was speechless for this unenlightened guy. Originally, eating and drinking at the wine table, it is best to talk about things when you are almost drunk and dizzy, but now you have not moved a few chopsticks before you speak, and it is easy to mess things up.

Seeing that Li Weimin was so reserved, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, it seems that this Principal Li is not good at socializing, at least he is not the kind of person who welcomes and pat horses, he loves face too much, this is a common problem of readers.

Lin Yi guessed correctly, otherwise Li Weimin would not have been the principal of a primary school for seven or eight years.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Weimin took the initiative to put a piece of fish meat on the plate in front of Lin Yi, and said, "You taste this fish, it tastes very good, hehe!" ”

Looking at Li Weimin, who was full of kindness, Lin Yi said thank you, and then said, "By the way, I heard that your school is being renovated recently, right?" ”

Li Weimin was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old village chief, and thought that the old village chief had already told Lin Yi about the matter.

The old village chief shook his head, "I didn't say anything, I just rubbed the rice." ”

Li Weimin's face was a little embarrassed, and he motioned to Feng Dashan, this time I can let you say it, say it.

Feng Dashan, a bastard, buried himself in eating.

Helpless, Li Weimin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, now our school is being renovated, it is an old school that has been around for almost 50 years, I remember clearly, it was built during the Cultural Revolution, it was four or five tiled houses at first, and then increased to more than a dozen, more than 20 rooms...... Up to now, those teachers, dormitories, and toilets are all old and unpresentable, not to mention anything else, just those toilets, every summer, as long as it rains, it will come out, making the school smell...... There are also student dormitories, which are simply dilapidated houses, where can people still live, and they are afraid that they will collapse in the middle of the night and crush people when they sleep in it...... Not to mention the classrooms, the walls are cracked, the rain leaks above, and the moisture returns below, and when it rains, classes must be closed, or they take the face plate to catch the water...... Such an old and dilapidated school, I really don't know how it has survived until now. After saying this, Li Weimin sighed.

"Seeing those students studying in this environment, I, as the principal, feel ashamed, I feel sorry for everyone, sorry for the students, and even more sorry for the parents of those students...... I asked the county for funds countless times, but once I went, empty-handed once, this time I finally asked for 600,000 yuan, I thought I could solve these problems, but I asked the construction party to calculate the --- grass, and it was still half of it! ”

Lin Yi was stunned, this Principal Li, who had been talking, actually burst into foul language.

But then, it's even tougher.

"I called the finance department, people told us to know how to be thrifty, my mother couldn't figure it out, begged grandpa to tell grandma to ask for such a small amount of funding, usually they don't know how to be thrifty when they eat and drink, but now they have to suffer students. Yes, I am selfish, I want to make the school beautiful, anyone who sees it will give a thumbs up, the first primary school in the county, cow! Li Weimin, cow! But my selfishness is too small compared to the selfishness of those people. Okay, I won't ask them for this, damn it, we can't afford these grandfathers, so we will think of other ways. ”

"Lin Yi, I also heard the old village chief say this, saying that you have made a fortune doing business in the city, whether it is true or not, you can contribute, and if you can't, forget it; You eat this meal well, don't be embarrassed, I'm also forced to be anxious, sometimes I like to think about things blindly, hoping to try my luck...... It's good luck to solve it, but it's providence if it can't be solved. Also, this wine and food are all out of my own pocket, I didn't spend a penny on the public, to put it bluntly, this meal is enough to replace the children with a few new sets of tables, chairs and benches, just these two bottles of liquor, three hundred yuan! ”

Li Weimin picked up the liquor and poured a full glass, didn't speak, finished one sip, pursed his mouth and said, "Don't say it, drink!" "After drinking, I don't know if it was spicy from the wine, and my eyes were a little red and a little damp.

Lin Yi heard clearly and really.

He picked up his glass and took a silent sip.

Regarding Lin Yi's move, the old village chief and Director Feng glanced at each other and raised their wine glasses.

Silent.

The atmosphere at the wine table became silent.

Fleeting ---

Lin Yi put down the wine glass and said, "If I can, I want to go to your school first, if I guess well, your school should have some things, sell those things, you should be able to raise some money; Of course, if I guess wrong, I am willing to donate 300,000 directly! ”

The old village chief was stunned.

Li Weimin and Feng Dashan were also stunned.

They didn't understand what else was to sell in that broken school, and thought that Lin Yi was deliberately prevaricating, but the sentence behind him was ---

There was a "bang", but it was Li Weimin who slapped the chopsticks on the table, "Okay, happy!" (To be continued.) )
