"I really don't know ...... people's hall was demolished and rebuilt more than ten years ago, and the surrounding area has been changed into a commercial plaza, as if there is no restaurant you said."

Bao Qifan patiently replied, he has been talking with this middle-aged man for several minutes, although the other party is standing in front of the booth, but he does not ask about the investment projects and policies of Fengqing County, plus the other party is dressed very plainly, there is not even a watch on the wrist, Bao Qifan is a little absent-minded, he feels that this person is not like an investor, but like an idle person who has no intention of entering the exhibition, etc., so he just wants to deal with the other party quickly.

"Oh......" The middle-aged man showed a slight disappointment on his face, sighed, and said, "That's a pity." ”

Zeng Yi stepped forward at this time and said with a smile: "Hello this gentleman, the boss of the tofu dish you just said is surnamed Duan?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Yes, it's surnamed Duan, I remember that the name of the restaurant is called Duan Lao Liu's tofu dish." ”

Zeng Yi laughed, he really knew this restaurant, because Ma Enhe especially likes to eat tofu dishes, which is a unique flavor of Fengqing County, Zeng Yi followed Ma Enhe to eat twice, and was very impressed, so he said: "The restaurant you said is still there, but it has changed places, and the boss is also surnamed Duan, but it is no longer Duan Lao Liu." Lao Duan has retired, and now his children continue to run this restaurant, and the business is very prosperous, and many people even come from other places to eat. ”

"I really didn't expect it!" The middle-aged man laughed twice and said, "But that's right, when I left home, Duan Lao Liu was in his forties, and thirty years have passed, and Duan Lao Liu has also become Lao Duan." ”

"It seems that you are a real Fengqing person!" Zeng Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party.

The middle-aged man held Zeng Yi's hand and said with emotion: "Thirty years have passed in a flash." My memories of Fengqing County. That's all that's left for this tofu restaurant. When my family was poor, I couldn't eat tofu dishes. One year, when I was sick and went to the county to see a doctor, my father gritted his teeth and took me down to the restaurant, and I ate tofu dishes. I still remember the smell, but unfortunately my father ......."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, the muscles on his face jumped, and then his eyes flushed a little, he stopped speaking, and stood there calming his emotions. It was also many years later that he learned that his father had done everything he could to treat him. Just before eating that tofu dish, my father went to sell blood, and he was too poor at that time.

Zeng Yi didn't bother him. He knows. This tofu dish must have some story, besides. Once the wanderer who has been away for 30 years opens up the impression of his hometown in his memory, this kind of thinking and emotion is also difficult to suppress.

After a long time, the middle-aged man felt better, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "I'm sorry, I just remembered my father, he is a good man, he has suffered a lot for his family, and his favorite food is tofu vegetables when he was alive." ”

"You don't have to say sorry!" Zeng Yi looked at the other party, "I know this feeling very well. ”

Middle-aged people saw that Zeng Yi was so young, and they didn't take this sentence seriously, thinking that it was just a sentence that was appropriate to the situation, but as everyone knows, Zeng Yi also left home and wandered around when he was more than ten years old, and the middle-aged man still has a father, but Zeng Yi has never seen his parents.

"Introduce yourself!" The middle-aged man took out a business card holder from his pocket, opened it, took out one, handed it to Zeng Yi, and said, "The surname of the contemptible person is Wang, and his ancestral home is Fengqing County, but he left his hometown at a very young age. ”

Zeng Yi took the business card, only to see that the name of the other party was written on the business card, called Wang Xi, a person from Hong Kong Island, working as the chief engineer of a special steel equipment factory, Zeng Yi also understood why the other party's fingers were so rough, this is a career decision, he said: "It turned out to be Wang Gong!" You are welcome to go back to your hometown in the future, feel the great changes in your hometown, and taste the special tofu dishes of your hometown by the way. ”

"Yes, definitely!" The middle-aged man had a good impression of Zeng Yi and said, "When I return to my hometown, I must invite you to taste tofu dishes together." ”

Zeng Yi took out his business card and said with a smile: "Welcome at any time." ”

Wang Xi picked up the business card and looked at it, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, "It turned out to be the parent official in my hometown, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Saying that, Wang Xi looked at Zeng Yi again, it was the first time he had seen such a young county magistrate.

"Wang Gongyan is serious, it is my honor to be able to do something for the people of Fengqing County!" Zeng Yi said.

Bao Qifan finally found an opportunity at this time, and said: "Although the county magistrate Zeng has not been in Fengqing County for a long time, he has introduced several large-scale projects for Fengqing County, and he has recently carried out the reform pilot work of medical and health work, which has been well received by the people in the county. ”

Wang Xi said: "The county magistrate Zeng is young and promising! ”

Bao Qifan looked at Wang Xi's expression, and knew that the other party still didn't pay attention to Zeng Yi from his heart, but it was not surprising that anyone who saw Zeng Yi for the first time would not think that Zeng Yi was a "young and promising" official, but most would think that this was a family that came up from the background. Bao Qifan added, "The famous general's tea is the result of poverty alleviation when County Magistrate Zeng worked in Nanjiang, and County Magistrate Zeng squatted in the ravine for a long time. ”

When Wang Xi heard this, he showed a very surprised expression, he knew too much about the general's tea, Hong Kong Island has a unique relationship with the United Kingdom because of history, how could he not have heard of the matter of curing the queen's serious illness with a cup of general's tea, and said at the moment: "I really didn't expect that the person who promoted the general's tea to the world was standing in front of me at this moment." ”

Zeng Yi shook his hand with a smile and said, "This is not exactly my personal achievement. ”

Bao Fan said: "At that time, it was the county magistrate Zeng himself who treated the queen, and the county magistrate Zeng was actually a master of medical skills!" ”

Wang Xi was a little shocked and said, "So, the story of a cup of general tea curing the disease is not a hearsay rumor?" ”

Bao Fan said: "This is a real thing, there is no exaggeration at all." At that time, in Ma's old home, the county magistrate Zeng did not diagnose the pulse or ask about the condition, and when he looked up at the sky, he knew that the patient who fell from the roof wanted blood in his stool, which was simply magical.

"It's just a good time!" Zeng Yi said two sentences with a smile and did not make any unnecessary explanations.

Wang Xi became interested and said: "I often hear people talk about this matter, when this news came out, the general tea was hard to find on Hong Kong Island, and the price was better than gold. County Magistrate Zeng, does the general's tea really have such a great curative effect? ”

"General tea has a certain health care effect, but it is not a cure-all, it can cure the Queen's disease, just because it happens to be symptomatic." Zeng Yi raised his hand and said, "If Wang Gong is interested, let's sit down inside and talk." ”

Wang Xi listened to the words of wrapping up the sail before, and originally had some intention of leaving, but now when he heard Zeng Yi's words, he became interested, and said politely, and followed Zeng Yi to sit in the hospitality area inside the stage, ready to listen to the ins and outs of this matter in detail.

Bao Qifan immediately went to bring two cups of hot water, but he was a little depressed, he didn't even see that this Wang Xi had such a background just now, maybe people came to the exhibition to see the project, it seems that they really can't judge people by their appearance.

Zeng Yi sat there and briefly introduced to Wang Xi the principle of "curing diseases with smelly (xiu)" of general tea, and by the way, he also asked Wang Xi's work, and learned that the factory where Wang Xi worked was a factory specializing in the production of special steel threads, keels, and tenons for ships.

Regarding this situation, Zeng Yi was a complete layman, so he didn't ask deeply, but just remembered the situation in his heart, and planned to go back and learn more about it. Wang Xi appeared at the scene of the investment promotion project promotion meeting today, Zeng Yi believes that it is definitely not just a whim, or just to ask about the situation in his hometown, most of them have other purposes.

The two chatted for a while, and the time was not early, and the staff of the booths of other cities and counties next to them packed up their booths and prepared to leave.

When Wang Xi saw this situation, he didn't talk much anymore, and said: "I am really happy to be able to meet County Magistrate Zeng today, if I have the opportunity, I must go back to my hometown to have a look." ”

"Welcome!" Zeng Yi got up and said goodbye to Wang Xi, and then took out more than a dozen tea tickets for general tea from his bag, and gave them to Wang Xi along with the introduction materials of Fengqing County.

After sending Wang Xi away, the exhibition hall was already more than half empty, Zeng Yi remembered that he had made an appointment with Sun Rui and the drunkard in the evening, so he didn't delay any longer, and said a few words to Bao Qifan, and left the exhibition hall in a hurry.

The place of dinner in the evening is set in the head office of Wei Gongji, the seafood hot pot here is the same as the tofu dishes in Fengqing County, it is the authentic feature of Yunhai City, everyone who comes to Yunhai must come to taste the taste here, when Zeng Yi came to Yunhai for the first time, Gu Di was here to pick up the wind for Zeng Yi.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Wei Gongji, the boss of Wei Gongji ran over and said, "Early this morning, I heard the magpie chirping, and I thought that there must be a noble person coming to the door. "Wei Gongji's boss is very discerning, and in his shop, he never calls the official name of the customer, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Zeng Yi laughed and said, "I have to receive two old friends today, Mr. Wei can't let me lose face." ”

Boss Wei slapped the fat on his chest, trembled, and said: "Boss Zeng will rest assured that I will handle the things on the meal, if it is not done well and the guests are not satisfied, I will go and take off the signboard by myself." ”

As they spoke, the two entered the hotel lobby. As soon as he entered the door, someone stood up on the sofa at the door and said, "County Magistrate Zeng, you also come here to eat?" ”

As soon as Zeng Yi saw it, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Director Liu, when did you arrive in the sea of clouds?" Zeng Yi didn't expect that when he came here for a meal, he would be able to meet the secretary of the city president, He Sixian.

Secretary Liu smiled and said, "I'm here today, and I'll have a meeting with the boss." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Secretary Liu saw the car outside the door arriving, so he immediately said, "The boss has arrived, I'll go out to greet you." With that, he quickened his pace and trotted out the door.
