5-38 Heavenly Street in the Mountains
How can Zhou Wen hide this little bit of caution from Liu Ziguang, from the promising mayor's secretary to the head of the Qingshui Yamen in a poor county, not to mention the gap for the time being, when he was a secretary in the past, he could be described as calling for wind and rain, and no one dared not give face, but now Zhou Wen is a lonely man, in a remote small county, his backstage director Zhou is also out of reach, who will give him face?
Grassroots officials don't like airborne leaders the most, especially the deputy positions in the Qingshui Yamen in this small county town, they can't be transferred, the oil and water are very limited, the only hope is to stay up, from the deputy section to the main department is a lifelong dream of many people, and finally survived a director, I thought the opportunity came, but I didn't expect a new director to fall from the sky, it is said that the new director still gave up the opportunity to enter the provincial capital, and took the initiative to ask for grassroots exercise, which made the four deputy directors angry, and the secretary of the director of the department did not do it, Run to us to grab some job.
At this time, it was already half past one o'clock, Zhou Wen looked at the wall clock on the wall, picked up his leather bag and stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "There are a lot of us, aren't we afraid of eating you?" ”
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm also a bureau chief, and I still have the power to eat a meal and be reimbursed." ”
The three of them went out of the office building, Zhuo Li went to drive, Liu Ziguang and Zhou Wen stood on the steps and waited, at this time a group of people walked in from outside the gate, at first glance, they were dressed as county cadres, clamshell leather shoes, navy blue trousers, dark Lilang or SAINT ANGELO and other coats, holding briefcases in their hands, cigarettes in their mouths, talking and laughing and walking over, they saw several off-road vehicles parked in the yard, and they were all shocked.
Seeing Director Zhou standing on the steps, the cadres immediately stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically: "Bureau Zhou, have friends come to the city?" ”
Zhou Wen said lightly: "A few entrepreneur friends, who came into the mountains to collect wind, I will accompany them to have a meal, you go in first." ”
Hummer, Cayenne, 6 cruisers, Wranglers, these are all valuable cars, the cadres of the tourism bureau still have this bit of eyesight, one by one staring at these luxury cars with envy into the building, and whispering something, Zhou Wen suddenly said: "Zhuo Li, don't drive, the hotel is nearby, let's go." ”
Liu Ziguang smiled secretly in his heart, Zhou Wen is pulling the flag as a tiger skin, in order to show his soft power to his colleagues, forget it, just cooperate with him, beckon everyone to go out together, and go to the game house opposite the tourism bureau for lunch.
As the saying goes, the mountain eats the mountain and the water draft, Nantai County is backed by the mountain and faces the river, the most important thing is the mountain and the river fresh, the wild boar, the wild pheasant, the wild mountain fungus, the pangolin in the deep mountain old forest, the crab in the river, the river shrimp, and the well-known puffer fish, are the specialties of Nantai, the leaders from the city and the province, always have to taste the wild boar and puffer fish, it is worth the trip.
Zhou Wen led everyone straight to the second floor with his briefcase, the owner of the game house was a clear-eyed person, and he had already recognized that the guest was the new director of tourism, so he hurriedly stepped forward to entertain him personally, asked the waiter to pour tea and take the tableware, and took a sealed menu and introduced: "What does Director Zhou want to eat today?" ”
Zhou Wen said: "Special dishes." ”
The boss said: "The most famous dish in our game house is pufferfish, but the season is not suitable now, so I suggest that we eat wild boar, real wild boar roasted with fruit trees, fake one penalty of ten, the price is cheap, and the affordability is very affordable." ”
Zhou Wen took the menu and looked at it, then pushed it to Liu Ziguang and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Liu Ziguang glanced at it and said, "Come to some wild mountains, I'd rather eat one or two birds than half a catty of animals." ”
The boss praised: "At first glance, you are a person who can eat, wild pheasants are sent by hunters in the mountains, and they are alive and kicking, so I will arrange two for you." ”
It didn't take much effort, the dish 66 continued to come up, the cold dish was boiled peanuts and mixed elm money, the big dish was roasted wild boar and red pepper stir-fried wild pheasant, and a few fatty big fish, in view of the fact that I had to drive in the afternoon, I didn't order the liquor, and brought two boxes of beer up.
The wild boar meat is roasted yellow, the skin is charred and the meat is tender, and the city people who are accustomed to eating charcoal-grilled goat meat taste this delicacy at first glance, and they all shout that it is delicious, only the hairy boy tastes a bite and shows disdain, and says: "What kind of thing, it is far worse than my grandfather's game." ”
Zhou Wen said: "Hey, this little brother is right, this is a kind of meat pig made by crossing wild boar and domestic pig in the county farm, it is not a real wild boar, if you want to eat real game, you have to go into the mountains." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "Then let's go into the mountains in the afternoon and taste the real wild boar." ”
After being full of wine and food, Zhou Wen beat Liu Ziguang and they went downstairs first, and went to the counter to settle the bill, and the boss said, "Director Zhou, are you hanging?" ”
Zhou Wen said: "No, cash settlement." As he spoke, he took out the banknote to pay the bill, asked for another ticket, and insisted on writing his name on the letterhead of the ticket, and after he left, the cashier and the boss looked at each other: "The sun is coming out in the west, and the director pays for a treat himself?" ”
The cashier said: "Boss, this Director Zhou is very kind, it is better to report the previous signing to him, and the hospitality fee of the Tourism Bureau alone is more than 5,000." ”
The boss sighed and said: "Try it, these cadres sign orders one by one fiercely, and when they ask for money, they all become bad seeds, these days, the food is delicious and the money is hard to get." ”
……
Back in the compound of the Tourism Bureau, Zhou Wen greeted the comrades in the office, saying that he had taken the entrepreneurs from the city into the mountains for inspection, and would not come back at night, and then got on Zhuoli's Humvee and led the convoy to the mountains southwest of the county.
Before leaving the county, Zhou Wen also led everyone to walk around the main road in the new district of the county, allowing everyone to see the magnificent county government building, the incomparably wide marble square, the European-style white dome roof building, the green lawn, and the musical fountain, all of which opened the eyes of the earthen buns from the city.
Out of the county boundary, the road began to be difficult to walk, the narrow cement road potholes, by the truck crushed by the holes, the convoy had to slow down, slow forward, to avoid the whistling heavy trucks, these unlicensed broken trucks have been modified, piled with coal, the road black coal ash drifting around, everywhere gray.
"There are several small coal kilns contracted by private parties nearby, which can be regarded as the pillar industry of Nantai." Zhou Wen pointed to the trucks and casually introduced, the cars bumped forward, half an hour later before leaving the coal mining area, at this time you can already clearly feel the uphill road, the road has also changed from a cement road to a gravel road, passing cars are gradually becoming scarce, occasionally a tractor or two or a dilapidated minibus from the opposite side.
In the distance, the mountains are undulating, and the mountains are stacked with green, and Zhou Wen said: "It's almost there." But the road became more and more difficult, the winding road was steep and narrow, and if you were not careful, you would fall into the abyss, and the Humvee was too wide to reduce and reduce and drive carefully in the mountains.
It was like this until it was dark, Zhou Wen still kept saying that it was almost there, Zhuo Li was anxious, and said angrily: "It's almost here, it's almost here, why can't you get it yet!" ”
Zhou Wen said: "Running a dead horse across the mountain, this mountain is deep, thanks to our car, if you walk and climb the mountain, it will take at least three days." ”
Zhuo Li said, "Why don't you build a road?" ”
Zhou Wen sighed: "The county is poor, and I can't afford to build roads." ”
Zhuo Li pouted: "Poor? **! ”
Everything was in a word, continue to drive forward, and finally arrive at the second stop of the trip, Tianjie Town.
Tianjie Town, as the name suggests, is located at a very high altitude, the town is located in a small piece of flat land deep in the mountains, there is only one extremely dilapidated street, it is late, the street lights are dim, and everything is withered, Zhou Wen pointed to a building in the distance and said: "Just park there." ”
Zhuo Li drove over and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Isn't that what is it?" ”
The antique city tower with red walls and glazed tiles, with shoddy gypsum tables standing on both sides, and the signs of the Tianjie Township Party Committee and the Township Government erected, look similar to a building on the national emblem, but it is too simple, and it seems that the tiger is not an anti-dog, but the parking lot in front of the door is still wide enough to park everyone's car.
Stopped the car, everyone came down to move their numb legs and feet, Zhou Wen went over to say hello to the janitor, introduced himself to the tourism bureau, the janitor hurriedly ran into the distance, and called a black and fat man to come over, the man was wearing a double-breasted suit, inside was a sweater with a chicken heart collar, the scarlet tie was placed outside the sweater, the white shirt collar was already black, and the two buttons on it were opened in a chic manner, revealing a close-fitting gray cotton sweater.
"Oh, Director Zhou, you're here, welcome, these are all city leaders." The man greeted warmly, took out a box of cigarettes from the leather bag under his armpit and put it around, from Zhou Wen to Liu Ziguang, and even the hairy child, all got a cigarette, and the enthusiastic attitude made everyone really feel the simplicity of the mountain people.
"This is Township Chief Gao." Zhou Wen introduced, and pointed to Liu Ziguang and others and said: "This is Mr. Liu, the first representative of the city, this is Mr. Zhuo, a well-known entrepreneur, and this is ......."
With Zhou Wen's introduction, Township Chief Gao stretched out his hands and wiped his pants twice, and then shook hands with these bigwigs one by one, with a reverent light in his eyes, and took out his bronzing business card and handed it over with both hands, introducing himself in a very modest tone: "My name is Gao Yishui, just call me Xiao Gao." ”
"Township Chief Gao, we came all the way from the city to inspect the famous wild boar in our township, don't let us down." Zhou Wen said half-jokingly.
Township Chief Gao patted his chest: "Wrap it up on my brother." He took out his mobile phone and pressed a string of numbers, and shouted in a loud voice: "Accountant Xie, do we still have wild boar at home?" ”
There was also a loud voice on the other side of the phone: "I just asked the county cow master to pull away two this afternoon, and there is only one pork leg at home, and it has been in the ice cellar for a winter, and it can still be eaten." ”
"Nonsense, you can't be fooled about this, Lao Xie, you hurry up and give me two wild boars, don't say anything." After speaking, the head of the high township hung up the phone, put the mobile phone in the leather mobile phone case across his waist, and said boldly: "Let's go, go to the guest house for a drink!" ”
