。 The banquet began, and the program was very old-fashioned. Shan Yexian introduced that Kulun, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Saratu, director of the National People's Congress, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Hurabet, deputy county magistrate. There is something special about the names of these people.

But Wang Wenhua and Xu Xiaoli knew that Qinglan was a Manchu autonomous county, and many of the leading cadres were ethnic minority cadres, so the names were all peculiar Manchu names. Memorize the characteristics of each name in general so that you don't get it wrong or forget it when you toast.

Saratu, the director of the National People's Congress, sat next to Xu Xiaoli, and Xu Xiaoli saw that this person looked very old, with thick and loose skin, a bare head, and a ridge bulging in the middle of the top of his head, like a character in a traditional Chinese painting.

After introducing the leaders, the county magistrate Shan Ye solemnly introduced the menu on the banquet: "In order to express the county party committee's welcome to Chairman Wang and my brother, we are eating the palace dinner today.

"Well, the imperial food we have here is not what Cixi Lafayette eats in Beijing's Zijin City, but the imperial food used by the Qing Emperor Nurhachi when he fought the world in the old city of Hetuala, although it is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, but it is also unique.

"Whenever the county government entertains distinguished guests, it arranges this set of imperial meals." The big and small leaders at the table all tried to cater to the hints of the county magistrate, and they all squeezed out ambiguous snickerers.

While the county magistrate was speaking, the waiter had already poured the wine. The smell of fragrant wine frightened Xu Xiaoli's face tightened, and her legs and stomach trembled.

began to toast, naturally it was Shan Ye who toasted the distinguished guest Wang Wenhua first. Then he toasted his brother Shanlu with a glass of wine. Usually, the wine glass used to drink in the city is a small cup, but when I arrived in the county, it was replaced by a large bowl of beer, but the liquor was poured inside.

It seems that the administrative level of the county is low, and the level of toasting is quite high. Of course, this kind of large bowl cannot be drunk all at once, the toaster only takes a small sip, and the guest can take a small sip or take a sip.

Today may be in a good mood, Shan Ye toasted very dedicatedly, and when he toasted Wang Wenhua, he drank half a large bowl at once. Although Wang Wenhua doesn't like alcoholism, he is also a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows the importance of the wine field.

He saw that the county magistrate drank most of the cup, almost reverently picked up his big bowl, took a sip vigorously, and said: "Thank you to the leaders of the county government, I accept your toast on behalf of all the staff of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and I wish us a happy cooperation in the future." ”

There was a commotion on the table, and no one could hear Wang Wenhua's extraneous voice, only Xu Xiaoli could hear it. The chairman said that on behalf of the staff of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, he just wanted to protect her and block wine for her.

Xu Xiaoli is very grateful to Wang Wenhua. But she knew that on this occasion, no one could save her from such a situation. Even Wang Wenhua was embarrassed to openly protect her.

Shan Ye didn't know if he didn't hear Wang Wenhua's words clearly, or deliberately pretended not to understand, and when Wang Wenhua drank the wine, he immediately gave Xiaoli wine. Xu Xiaoli said: "Chairman Wang is the chairman of our Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and he has represented all the employees of the company, so I will forget it." ”

The mountains and fields seem to be smiling, and when people look at it, they feel a little kind of kindness close to you, and they can feel a kind of condescending dignity that shocks you:

"It's true that Chairman Wang is your chairman, but he is the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, not the chairman of drinking. He can take you with him when he works, but he can't represent you when he drinks. His wine is in his belly, and yours is in yours. Two different things! ”

Xu Xiaoli, who has always been sharp-toothed, seemed to be immediately frozen by the county magistrate's words, and her almost innate hippie smile was indifferent to her ability to come with a big grin as if she was blown away by the strong wind of this drifting mountain villa, and even stammered when she spoke:

"I, I can't. The Chairman is aware. I can't, I really can't. Chairman Wang also knows this. After speaking, she glanced at Wang Wenhua as if she was asking for help.

"County magistrate, she really can't drink. If you drink too much, you will feel uncomfortable. Wang Wenhua had no choice but to intercede for Xu Xiaoli.

"Well, no, you'll have to drink it to find out. If Director Xu Xiaoli really sincerely came to us to seek cooperation, she would first drink this glass of wine toasted by the people of the county. ”

When Shan Ye said this, his voice was very gentle, and a smile appeared on his face, still half friendly and half majestic.

Xu Xiaoli felt like a ball that had been punctured by the county magistrate, and she couldn't muster up a trace of courage to fight the secretary.

"Okay, I'll drink, but only in a small sip." She grabbed her glass and took a sip, then sat down.

Shan Ye said no, where is this, what kind of rules has this become? We drink here very well.

Xu Xiaoli stood up very embarrassed and reluctantly took another sip. Shan Ye still disagreed, "Where is this, these two small mouthfuls are too few." ”

At this time, Wang Wenhua stood up unexpectedly, "County magistrate, I'll drink the rest." Who made me her leader? ”

A table of people coaxed indiscriminately, Wang Wenhua was unmoved, and he didn't care whether Shan Ye agreed or not, he couldn't help but snatch the wine glass in Xu Xiaoli's hand and drank all the wine.

"What a Chairman Wang! What are you doing? Hero save Mei Wow? "The mountain road was the first to protest.

"Hehe, Chairman Wenhua, well, you have created a new model of toasting." Shan Ye was not annoyed, but he turned his hand around and pointed to a table of colleagues who accompanied the wine, and said:

"After a while, you will use this mode to toast Director Xu Xiaoli, Director Xu Xiaoli only takes a sip, and Chairman Wenhua drinks the rest."

Yamano is a veteran of officialdom and a veteran of the wine industry. The dispute between him and Wang Wenhua to persuade him to drink and save the wine, he was just a light and clever sentence, which not only restrained Wang Wenhua, but he could only drink like this.

and also restrained Xu Xiaoli, as if drinking was a matter of course for Xu Xiaoli. In fact, Xu Xiaoli's small sip was also extremely uncomfortable.

The next thing is naturally all this mode, Wang Wenhua not only has to drink his own wine, but also has to drink for Xu Xiaoli.

Xu Xiaoli only took a sip, and Wang Wenhua had to drink the rest of the wine, although it was very uncomfortable, Wang Wenhua was not easy to bargain, because he was himself provoking the ghost to come to the door, and there was no reason to dodge.

Fortunately, he is the leader of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and those who toast him do not intend to pour him. Only Shanlu was unwilling, and when he toasted Wang Wenhua's wine, he made a few punches and let Wang Wenhua drink one more glass.

The faster the food is served, the faster the wine is drunk. The so-called palace imperial meal on the table is mainly local snacks, the main dish is mainly beef and mutton, and then there are various pastries processed from sticky rice and suzi leaves.

In order to make up enough for eight large plates and eight bowls of Wenhua numbers, in the end, even yellow rice mixed with lard came up. This food is of course a delicacy for the local people, but it is like poison for Wang Wenhua and Xu Xiaoli, and they can't eat it at all.

In the end, I had to take a small spoonful of yellow rice from a small bowl and put it on a plate, which was considered a staple food.

The arrival of yellow rice did not affect the rate of drinking.

Wang Wenhua drank with everyone like a cloud, and his usually pig-iron-like face was already mottled and mottled all the way to his neck.
