"Ma Zhishu, the people in your Dashan Village can't even feed themselves, mainly on relief and poverty alleviation funds, can the farmers you report feed the piglets and chicken seedlings that are given to them?" Zhu Daidong walked around Dashan Village, where the situation was much worse than he had imagined, so he expressed doubts about Ma Mingyi's practice of taking more than 200 farmers in one go.

"Isn't the township still providing free feed? We just feed it frequently. Ma Mingyi said with a wry smile, he wanted to change the situation of Dashan Village too much, although he had only worked as the village party secretary for more than ten years, but he took over from his father, his father's greatest wish was to let the people of Dashan Village live a well-fed life on the ground, but until he died, he did not do this. After Ma Mingyi succeeded his father as the new party secretary of Dashan Village, he had only one mission, to let the people of Dashan Village be fed and clothed, but such a seemingly simple requirement, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dashan Village has never really met.

"But even a few lumps of sheep dung in your big mountain village will cause a dispute, do you think that with the sheep dung in Dashan Village, more than 200 farmers can cook the pig food of more than 2,000 pigs? I'm afraid that all the sheep dung in your mountain village will only be enough to cook one meal. It takes at least half a year for a pig to be slaughtered, so you can't let the pig eat raw every day, right? Zhu Daidong sneered, "You can eat as much food as you want, and Dashan Village can only approve ten farmers this year." ”

"Township Chief Zhu, don't, but the hope of our Dashan Village, you also know how poor our Dashan Village is, ten farmers are just a drop in the bucket, it won't help at all!" Ma Mingyi was anxious, ten farmers could not solve the problem of Dashan Village at all, and at least half of the families had to become farmers in order to completely change the situation in Dashan Village.

"You can't eat a fat man in one bite, and the situation in Dashan Village can't be solved at one time, and gradual is a good policy." Zhu Daidong understands Ma Mingyi's feelings, but Dashan Village is like a patient who has been sick for a long time, if he rashly uses heavy medicine, the patient may not be able to bear it, and in the end the disease is not cured, and he is desperate for his life.

"Township Chief Zhu, it's time to eat, if you want to eat, we'll discuss this later, anyway, the feed mill hasn't been put into production yet, and we have time." Ma Mingyi's eyes rolled, he didn't have too deep a relationship with Zhu Daidong, and the best way to change Zhu Daidong's mind was not to talk face-to-face, but at the dinner table.

Don't look at Dashan Village is the poorest mountain village in Shuling Township, but there are many leaders who entertain every year, otherwise who would send the relief money and grain poverty alleviation funds for no reason? This is also the biggest difference between Ma Mingyi and Ma Lao branch secretary, the old Ma branch secretary has been fair and honest all his life, iron-faced and selfless, therefore, under his leadership, Dashan Village's relief grain and poverty alleviation funds can only be on par with the average level of the township. However, after Ma Mingyi took office, the situation has changed greatly, and every year Dashan Village receives much more relief and poverty alleviation funds than before. This has a lot to do with Ma Mingyi's willingness to invest at the dinner table, and now, he is going to use this trick to deal with Zhu Daidong.

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon, I can see the situation in Dashan Village about the same, I have a chance to eat next time." Zhu Daidong shook his head, in such a situation as Dashan Village, he really didn't want to increase the burden on Dà Mountain Village. Although the rules in the township stipulate that you have to pay for meals in the village, in reality, which village will accept this kind of money? And with the standard of three yuan a meal, it is enough for him to pay for a meal.

"This is not good, the meal has already been prepared, this is specially prepared for you, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted." How could Ma Mingyi let Zhu Daidong go, took his arm, and dragged him home.

"Specially prepared for me? Then I can't eat here. Zhu Daidong shook his head firmly, he, the deputy head of the township, didn't want to enjoy this kind of "deliberate" prepared food.

"It's specially prepared, but it's not something special, just a little bit to eat, a little bit to eat." Ma Mingyi hurriedly smiled.

"Okay, but I have to pay for the meal according to the actual cost, all of it, I will treat it at noon." Zhu Daidong is also a 10,000 yuan household now, if it is in Houjiatang Village, he will not be polite, but when he goes to Dashan to pay, he is really a little unbearable.

Ma Mingyi's house is similar to that of other villagers, with only one floor and some tiles on it, the only difference is that there are a few more houses and a yard in front. Walking into the courtyard, he immediately smelled a strong fragrance, and Ma Mingyi prepared a table of all-sheep banquet for Zhu Daidong.

"Ma Zhishu, is this what you call casual eating? If the so-called 'all-you-can-eat' in Dashan Village is a whole sheep feast, then I want to congratulate you, Dashan Village has entered the well-off level in advance. Zhu Daidong snorted coldly with a calm face.

"Township Chief Zhu, don't be angry, the only thing we can get in our village is sheep, we can't let you eat bran like us, right?" Ma Mingyi saw that Zhu Daidong seemed to be really angry, and hurriedly explained.

"But don't bring a whole sheep to me, how much does it cost? One hundred and fifteen? Two hundred? Zhu Daidong took out 200 yuan from his body and put it on the table, "If I knew this, I might as well go and invite you again, it won't cost 200 yuan!" ”

"Township Chief Zhu, in fact, this sheep doesn't need so much, you only need to give fifty yuan." Ma Mingyi returned the remaining 150 yuan to Zhu Daidong.

"That's the price of the lamb, which is two hundred dollars." Zhu Daidong waved his hand and ate 200 yuan in one meal in Dashan Village, if he said this, who would believe it?

"But this is really ......, Township Chief Zhu, I'm embarrassed." Ma Mingyi has been the village party secretary for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard about the meal expenses of the township leaders, and it is still so much, it is really enough to buy a whole sheep.

"If you're embarrassed, just call a few more people to eat together, just the two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish this whole sheep feast." Zhu Daidong said with a smile, now that he has paid, the dishes on this table are his.

Ma Mingyi didn't call many people, only called one, and met Li Shun at the entrance of the village Zhu Daidong.

"Look at it, I'll just say, when the township cadres come, the secretary's family will have delicious food." Li Shun saw the whole sheep banquet on the table, and his face was disdainful.

"I said Lao Li, this is what Township Chief Zhu paid, the whole two hundred, and the village made money this time." Ma Mingyi took out Zhu Daidong's two hundred yuan and raised it towards Li Shun. "Today, Township Chief Zhu is in for a treat."

"I said why did you call me to eat such a meal, it turned out that it was paid by Township Chief Xiaozhu, then I'm welcome." Li Shun sat down, grabbed a sheep's hoof and gnawed it as if no one was around.

Zhu Daidong and Ma Mingyi looked at each other and smiled, this old man Li is really welcome.

"Uncle Li, do you want some wine?" Ma Mingyi asked with a smile.

"Of course, if there is meat, there must be wine, but who pays for this wine?" Li Shun asked.

"I'm out, Township Chief Zhu still has a lot of money, and it just happens to be used as wine money." Ma Mingyi hurriedly said.

"Ma Zhishu, you don't need to drink the wine, I have to go back to the township in the afternoon." Zhu Daidong said.

"How can a man not drink something? You, the township chief, are really too much to drink! Li Shun snorted.

"The old man's alcohol consumption has been tested on the Korean battlefield, and until now, it is difficult to meet opponents in the village." Ma Mingyi said, Li Shun likes to see the truth in wine, the old man is good at drinking if he doesn't smoke, as long as he can accompany him to drink half a catty, he can talk to him.

"Okay, let's do it." Zhu Daidong smiled, he didn't know why Ma Mingyi called Li Shun, but since Ma Mingyi did this, there must be his meaning, eating and drinking, this is the habit of Chinese, take one step at a time.
