Chapter 1045: Director Huang's Request (Ask for Subscription!) )
Before the bottom of the pot was opened, Director Huang pointed to a large freezer not far away and said, "Let's go, go get the vegetables yourself!" ”
Nangong Pengfei looked at the endless crowd around the freezer, and asked in surprise: "Lao Huang, take it yourself, you won't invite us to a buffet, right?" ”
Director Huang smiled and said, "It's really self-help, look over there!" ”
Looking in the direction of Director Huang's finger, I saw a huge billboard hanging on the wall on one side, with a line of big characters printed on it: "Lao Deng Lao Hot Pot, a century-old restaurant, 28 yuan per person!" ”
Nangong Pengfei and Xu Yinglong looked at each other, it was really self-help, and it was a self-help of 28 yuan, this price was too low! With the price of today's era, 28 yuan is the price of a vegetarian dish and a big bowl of rice, how can you afford to eat self-service hot pot.
There are only two possibilities for such a price, one is that the boss is stupid, and the other is that the dishes here are shoddy, otherwise how could this price be opened. And looking at the shrewdness of the old man Deng, he doesn't look like a fool no matter how you look at it, so the result is already obvious.
Seeing Xu Yinglong and Nangong Pengfei's scruples, Director Huang obviously saw their thoughts, and immediately smiled and said, "You two don't have scruples, since I brought you here, I naturally won't give you those unclean things to eat!" ”
The two of them think about it, although Director Huang is only a department-level official, he may not be anything in Kyoto, but he can already be regarded as a high-ranking official in the local area. Naturally, a person of this level will not eat those junk foods, let alone invite people to eat.
Gritting their teeth and stomping their feet, the two followed Director Huang to the freezer, only to see that the meat and vegetarian dishes were placed in different categories. It really doesn't look like a defective product in terms of color. Xu Yinglong secretly tested it with spiritual power and found that there were no harmful substances. Even if there is, there is a slight pesticide residue and no chemical poisons.
The three of them each picked some dishes on their plates. There are meat and vegetarian dishes, and Director Huang even took a jar of wine from Lao Deng's counter.
After returning to his seat, the bottom of the pot was already wide open, and the hot soup was already bubbling out, and the aroma was overflowing.
Nangong Pengfei immediately picked up a lettuce with chopsticks and prepared to throw it into the pot, Director Huang immediately said: "Wait a minute, you are outsiders, you don't understand the rules here, and you are particular about eating hot pot!" ”
"What's so important?" Nangong Pengfei immediately asked.
"Eating hot pot is not eating the messy stew of the Northeast. The mess is all in the pot, and there is a procedure for eating our Xichuan hot pot! duck blood, tofu first; Then shabu shabu slices of raw meat; followed by tripe, beef tendon, large intestine and other soup bases; The fourth course is vegetables, such as water spinach, chrysanthemum, golden needle, and cabbage, which release water and sweetness when cooked to dilute the pot soup; Finally, the next handmade coarse noodles are served with soup. ”
While speaking, Director Huang also put duck blood and tofu into the pot, and when it was almost cooked, he put the raw meat slices and fish in it.
Then Director Huang sandwiched a few pieces of cooked duck blood for Xu Yinglong and Nangong Pengfei, and then opened the jar and poured a cup for each person.
"Some people can eat spicy hot pot with beer, juice, cola and other drinks, and they are eaten at home, and the first choice is liquor. In particular, spirits above 40 degrees are called "fighting poison with poison". If you are afraid of spicy and shallow, then prepare a bowl of tea or white soup, and put it in a light shabu after the ingredients are cooked. Then soak it in vinegar and eat it again, and the spiciness is greatly reduced. Come. Let's take a bite of this Shu in the middle of the burn. ”
The three of them touched each other lightly, and each took a big sip. The taste is sweet and spicy, and the stomach is like a fire when you drink it. It's a spirit.
"Good wine!" Xu Yinglong said with sincere admiration.
"Hahaha, that's it, this Shu Zhong Yao is a pure grain wine brewed by Old Man Deng himself, but it's not that the wine blended out of the outside is much better." Director Huang said with a smile.
"Pure grain wine? Yes, I brought a few jars with me when I left! Nangong Pengfei said immediately.
"Sorry, due to the limited production, this Shu Zhong Yao is only available in the store, and there is a limit of one jar per table." Director Huang said again.
"Wouldn't it, there are still purchase restrictions in such a remote place?" Nangong Pengfei said in surprise.
"In fact, many people come here to eat for this Shuzhong burning, according to the words of the old man Deng, this Shuzhong burn can produce five or six thousand jars a year, at most no more than 10,000 jars, if there is no limit to purchase, it will not be available at all." Director Huang said with a smile.
Eating hot pot and drinking more than 40 degrees of spirits, this feeling is the first time Xu Yinglong has felt. However, the taste of this hot pot restaurant is really good, and even people like Xu Yinglong, who don't eat much, didn't eat less today.
When checking out, Xu Yinglong saw that Director Huang directly took out eleven hundred-yuan bills, and then did not issue an invoice, and directly left Lao Deng's hot pot restaurant with Xu Yinglong and others.
In the car, Xu Yinglong asked with a smile: "The hot pot is more than 28 yuan, right?" ”
Director Huang smiled and said, "It's really 28 yuan, but there is still a pot bottom fee of five yuan per person, so the meal cost for the three of us is only 99 yuan." But the wine is expensive, a jar is a thousand yuan. ”
"So expensive? I see that the jar is about four catties at most, and each catty is 250 yuan, which is worth a bottle of medium-priced famous wine! Nangong Pengfei said.
"Hehe, the famous wine can be as strong as Shuzhong, and the cost of this meal is still not too high."
"By the way, Lao Huang, is this one of you cheap here or is everyone cheap?" Nangong Pengfei asked again.
"In fact, although Rongcheng is the capital of Xichuan Province, it is really not high in terms of price level, the price of most hot pot restaurants is below 40 yuan, and the fish hot pot of 25 yuan is all over the street." Director Huang replied.
"The main thing is that the land of abundance is rich in products!"
"Yes, this meal is really good, it didn't cost much to eat so comfortably!" Nangong Pengfei said happily.
"Good is good, but the only fly in the ointment of hot pot is that the taste is too extreme, the calories are too high, and the heavy salt, heavy oil and heavy spicy are not small challenges to the stomach and weight. You young people are fine, at our age, you can eat at most twice a month, and any more will not work! Director Huang said with a smile.
While talking, the three of them returned to the hotel they had booked in advance.
Originally, Xu Yinglong and Nangong Pengfei thought that Director Huang would say goodbye to them, but they didn't expect to follow them to the hotel.
In Xu Yinglong's room, the three of them sat in the living room of the suite.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Director Huang looked at Nangong Pengfei, then at Xu Yinglong, and then said: "Actually, there are two reasons for inviting the two of you to dinner today, the first is that I think the two of you are good, and you don't have the condescending attitude of others, and the other reason is that I have something to ask you two!" ”
Nangong Pengfei smiled and said: "You can just say anything directly, we believe that you will not make those excessive demands, why do you have to say it after inviting guests, it will make us embarrassed." ”
"Hehe, it's actually my job. I know that I can be promoted to the head of the Education Agency this time, and you two must have contributed a lot. ”
Xu Yinglong immediately said: "This really doesn't matter to me, if you want to contribute, Nangong has helped you say good things!" ”
Director Huang smiled and said, "I am very grateful to anyone who helped me, but I am really not suitable for mixing in officialdom, especially not for being a leader, so I want to ask you to help me transfer my work!" ”
"Lao Huang, which department do you want to work in?" Nangong Pengfei immediately asked.
"I know that the school we are going to build now is mainly for those orphans, since it is a school, it must need administrators, and the level of cadres in the big school of more than 100,000 people is definitely not low, so I want to be the principal of this school!" Director Huang said in a surprising voice.
Nangong Pengfei smiled bitterly: "You are really interesting, the director of the Department of Education is inappropriate, you have to be the principal of an orphan school, and people who don't know think that you have committed something and have been demoted!" ”
Director Huang smiled and said, "Let others say what they want to say, I really don't like that in the officialdom." The ancestors of our old Huang family have been scholars for three generations, and they retain the self-righteous and lofty of literati in their bones, I just want to read and educate people to do what I can for the country and the people, I really don't want to be that high-ranking official! ”
Nangong Pengfei thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll write it down, go back and talk to the above!" ”
"Thanks! If you succeed or not, I will invite you to Lao Deng's house to eat hot pot again, but there is no wine! Director Huang said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
