Chapter 320: Goodbye Relatives
readx;
Hongqi such a car, in this year is very high-end, this high-end is not because the price of Hongqi is expensive, but there is no certain level to sit in, waiting for the idle deputy hall or something. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info want to sit on their own red flag, that is simply delusional. Only ministerial-level cadres can sit in such a car.
And this time Li Mingbao also entrusted the reception level of Hongfu, otherwise he would not even think about the red flag now, and it would be right to sit on the crown or Audi. As for Soviet cars with vodka, jim or something, it's not very popular now.
Since Li Mingbao and the others got off the plane late, they didn't have extra time, so they didn't rest at all in the middle, and drove directly to the place to eat. The motorcycle police car in front of it drove away, and the posture was quite powerful. That is, in these two years, if it were a few years later, Li Mingbao would not be able to enjoy such treatment.
When the group reached the ground, the group of people who had been waiting in the restaurant all stood up. And Li Guangxin, who was walking with Li Mingbao, saw the group of people standing at the front, and his emotions immediately became excited, and he didn't care about etiquette or anything, so he directly crossed over Zhang Lao, stopped in front of two old men, a man and a woman, and then tears followed.
After a long while, he said hoarsely: "Big brother, second sister." You have suffered. In this case, it is very discordant to put it on this scene, but everyone present understands Li Guangxin's feelings, and he used to receive some people who came back from abroad, and the situation was similar, so they were very able to understand the feelings of these people.
And the two old men who were called the eldest brother and second sister by Li Guangxin were also very emotional at this time, especially Li Guangxin's second sister, who touched Li Guangxin's face and said vigorously: "You have lost weight, you used to be a fat person, why are you almost the same as the eldest brother now?" Isn't it good to eat in Hong Kong? ”
After a while, Li Guangxin came to his senses, turned around and gave Zhang Lao an apologetic look, and then let Li Mingbao and Li Mingyao go over, stood beside him, and said: "Big brother, second sister, this is the eldest of our family, this is the fifth child of our family." Boss, you should know, Xiao Wu was still young when he passed back then, but he looked the same as everyone in our family, he was a handsome young man. ”
If Li Mingbao didn't know what the two old men in front of him were doing at this time, he wouldn't have to mix, so he said in unison with his eldest brother: "Uncle and second aunt, hello, I'm Li Mingyao (I'm Li Mingbao), and I finally saw you today." ”
Seeing the two handsome offspring in front of them, and then hearing the words of Li Mingbao and his brothers, the two old men, who were already very excited, laughed even more happily now, and they didn't have the frame of being officials at all.
"More than ten years have passed, and the little ones have grown so big. You're the boss, and how many kids does Chunhong have over there? Uncle Li Mingbao asked with concern.
"Just one, it's a girl, it's cute, this time it's a serious matter, so I didn't bring them over, and the next time I have a chance, I'll let them all come back and see." Li Mingyao replied respectfully.
"It's a girl, huh? Why don't you give birth to a handle? You have to work hard. More children are blessings, and when there are fewer people in the family, they are not lively. Xiao Wu has grown up now, do you have a partner? Uncle Li Mingbao said and said, and got the topic on Li Mingbao.
Hearing his uncle's question, Li Mingbao didn't dare to slack off: "There is one, still talking, is a star." ”
"Oh, star? This is good, what role have you played? Li Mingbao's uncle Li Guangcheng then asked.
didn't wait for Li Mingbao to continue answering. Zhang Lao, who had already come over, said: "Okay, Xiaocheng, you have time to talk about the affairs in your family, anyway, Xiaosan and their family, they don't stay in the mainland for a day or two, you can talk slowly if you have special free time, and now when you officially receive it, be serious." ”
Hearing Zhang Lao's words, Li Guangcheng remembered that now was really not the time to speak. Originally, with the administrative level of him and his sister, they were not qualified to receive a banquet with such qualifications, and they were not a systematic person, but they were able to participate in such a banquet today, in fact, thanks to the fact that the people who came this time were the Li family's own people, otherwise they would not have gotten the news at all.
In a formal reception banquet, the rules are very strict, even so strict that the etiquette of speaking and the rules of eating have a clear clause. The reason why Li Mingbao and them came over this time seemed so unscrupulous was mainly because the mainland side played the family card, which left a good impression on Li Mingbao and them.
But even if you play the family card, there should still be rules, otherwise you have to mess up. There was no problem for them to say one or two words just now, but if they said a few more words, it would not be in line with the rules, so Zhang Lao interrupted their conversation at this time, not that Zhang Lao was so unkind, but that Zhang Lao was taking care of them.
Although Li Mingbao and Li Guangcheng are a family, as a party member, Li Guangcheng, if he does something that does not conform to the rules, it will have a great impact on him, especially in this kind of foreign affairs work, not to mention brothers, even if they are fathers and sons, they have to pay attention to the rules. If something doesn't conform to the rules, this board will have to hit Li Guangcheng and them.
Don't look at Li Guangcheng is now a vice minister, he can be regarded as a high-level minister in the mainland, and he is even a vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, but in fact, it is very difficult for him to become a vice minister, and even if he becomes a vice minister, he will be ranked quite low. And this promotion was promoted in the 80s, and I didn't sit on the cold bench before. went to this position, or because the connections left by the old man played a big role, but after helping once, this affection is almost the same, and if there is something wrong with it later, it will not be easy to do, and if there is a mistake in the reception work, it is easy to be caught, that is, the relationship between Zhang Lao and the Li family is not bad, so I reminded that if I change to another person, I wish Li Guangcheng would be more lively, and it would be easier to do things then.
Knowing that now was not the time to speak, Li Guangcheng and Li Guangxin both restrained themselves and began to behave. Zhang Lao also arranged Li Guangxin and them to the first table in a timely manner. And at this first table, a total of twelve people can sit, Li Guangxin's three fathers and sons can naturally sit up, and the others who can sit in this seat are the high-level of the mainland, and even Li Mingbao's uncle and second aunt can't sit in this seat, so they can only sit down at other tables.
After the group was seated, the waiter who had been waiting for the side began to serve the food, and it didn't take long for the originally empty table to be filled with wine and food. After Zhang Lao finished his opening remarks and asked Li Guangxin to say something, the dinner party officially began.
If you change to other foreign capital, you may not know much about this formulaic routine. But Li Guangxin is also a person who has been educated for many years, although he has been in Hong Kong for so many years, but such basic skills, still have not fallen, a formulaic rhetoric, said it well, immediately left a deep impression on everyone present, that is, this foreign boss, very rules, compared to the previous foreign bosses who did not understand the doorway at all, it is simply much better, and his own people are a system.
Li Guangxin's remarks enlivened the atmosphere at the banquet. And Zhang Lao also interrupted from time to time, which can be regarded as driving the atmosphere at the table.
Li Mingbao is not very good at these rules in officialdom, and he has his own father in front of him, so Li Mingbao quickly put his attention on the dining table. To be honest, the dishes for the state banquet this year are quite authentic, not only full of portions, but also very good.
After eating a few bites of delicious dishes, Li Mingbao set his sights on a plate of fat dishes. If Li Mingbao is not mistaken, that plate is very similar to the stuff of buttoned meat, it is definitely an authentic bear's paw, Li Mingbao has never seen it when he was in Hong Kong, and he can recognize that thing, completely because the big guy is also a glutton, and he once ate bear's paw.
But even the bear's paws he had eaten, compared to the dish in front of him, whether it was color or appearance, it couldn't be compared to the dish in front of him now. So Li Mingbao couldn't care about so many rules, so he directly transferred the dish that was suspected of being a bear's paw in front of him.
Then he turned sideways and said to the eldest brother on the side: "Brother, we earned it this time, if you don't see this dish, you won't see it in Hong Kong at all." Especially the good things made by the chefs here, you can't eat them outside. ”
Li Mingyao was still listening to his father communicating with Zhang Lao from time to time, but when Li Mingbao interrupted him, he also focused his attention on the dish that Li Mingbao pointed out. Compared with Li Mingbao, who has seen some appearances to some extent, Li Mingyao can be regarded as an authentic soil bun, although he already has memories when he was in the mainland, it can be said that the entire teenager spent time in the mainland.
But in those years, even with the ability of the Li family, it was already a blessing to be able to eat a full meal, and it was definitely too good news to be able to eat pork every once in a while, as for the more advanced dishes, in addition to receiving foreign guests, even his grandfather was reluctant to eat them, as for high-end things like bear paws, he really didn't know them. So when I saw the dish, it was very fat and greasy, and I didn't know what it was.
"What makes you so weird? Is there anything you can't eat in Hong Kong? Li Mingyao said in surprise.
"Of course you can't eat it, seafood or anything is not uncommon in Hong Kong, but you want to eat something like Shanzhen in Hong Kong, it's too difficult, even if you can get the ingredients, but you don't have good cooking skills, you can't play with this thing." Don't look at this dish looking fatty, this is an authentic bear's paw, a mountain delicacy! And it's still the front paw, if it's the front paw that bears commonly use, at this price, even if it's 300,000 Hong Kong dollars for me to eat, I'm happy to die. In Hong Kong anyway, you don't even think about it. Li Mingbao proudly showed off his knowledge in front of his brother.
