Chapter 49 The Feast

A large table was set up in the lobby of the restaurant, and Cooper was directing everyone to be busy with this and that.

"Uncle Gu, how is the banquet going?" Gu Haotian has great respect for his elders, and because of this, he has won the love of the Gu family.

"The dishes have been prepared, and the second battalion commander has sent a lot of live fish, and I have invited a few cooks from the house who went up the mountain today, and everyone will have a good time tonight."

The chefs of the ancient mansion are all cultivated by Gu Haotian, and the level is even higher than that of the hotel's chefs.

"Who are the people you invited?"

"I don't know much about this, but it's Director Xiao's business."

Before the two of them could speak, they saw Xiao Rang and Yu Sheng, Sun An, Zhou Yunqing, and Duan Jingzhu talking and laughing and coming in from the door. Xiao Rang was in charge of the organization, but the other people were in charge of paying the money, so they got together early in the afternoon and came over for a field trip.

"Senior brother and sister have arrived early, so I can't be hungry." Zhou Yunqing made a joke when he entered the door.

"No, didn't you smell the scent, and now I'm a little careful about your wallets."

"Petty officials, just rest assured, we are now worried that we have nowhere to spend money." Several people chattered back, looking wealthy.

"Then I'm welcome, who did Brother Xiao Rang invite tonight?"

"The captain and above of the escort team, the chief and deputy directors of various places, the elders and elders of some leaders' families, and a few tables are lined up upstairs for their families." Xiao Rang was also very thoughtful.

"How many village chiefs did I ask you to find in the morning, can there be any candidates?"

"It's also decided, most of them are the families of the escort, loyal and clever people."

"Since it's decided, then I'll invite you to participate tonight, so that everyone can recognize their faces and make it easier to do things in the future." Gu Haotian consciously established the prestige of these people, so that they could do things among the people in the future.

In the evening, the people attending the dinner came to the restaurant one after another. Gu Haotian personally picked up the two masters and their parents, and a large group of people came to the restaurant lively. The leaders, stewards and their families who arrived early at the door of the restaurant greeted them at the door, and everyone surrounded Gu Haotian and a few people like stars and moons.

Li and the other daughters went up to the second floor, Gu Haotian invited his father, the two masters, Gu Song, Bian Zhong and others to sit on the table, and the rest sat down.

"Fathers, brothers, today is Liangshan since the establishment of the village, the grandest gathering, half a year Liangshan from a barren to today's prosperity, are all here with one heart and one mind hard work caused, today I miss this opportunity, a cup to everyone, I wish everyone all wishes, I wish our Liangshan career is thriving." Gu Haotian raised a toast in front of everyone.

"Cheers!"

Dozens of people in the audience stood up together, and the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited. With the aroma of "fairy drunk" and the deliciousness of ancient dishes, people's taste buds are constantly stimulated, and the lobby suddenly becomes a sea of joy.

The four people who invited the guests seemed to have gained a great sense of accomplishment from the warm atmosphere, shouting and toasting everywhere, Duan Jingzhu, a newcomer, suddenly became the focus of attention and was even more excited, eager to treat guests like this every day.

The chief became the object of everyone's attention, and a group of people kept coming over with wine glasses to toast.

"Brother, how about we go and toast together?" Tang Long also wanted to toast the wine, but as a newcomer who had just arrived, he was a little apprehensive, so Du Qian took the initiative to invite when he saw it.

"That's a good idea." Tang Long hurriedly agreed.

"This is the Tang Long brother who just came in the afternoon, from Yan'an Mansion, and he is a weapon forging master." Gu Haotian saw the two of them coming, got up and introduced them to the same table.

"Yan'an Mansion - Weapons everyone, then do you recognize Tang Qin-Tang Zhisai?" Zhou Tong listened to Gu Haotian's introduction and suddenly asked.

"It's my father."

Tang Long was very surprised to see that the old man at the table actually knew his father.

"This is Mr. Zhou Tong, a great man in Kansai, and he is the master of a petty official." Du Qian saw his confusion and introduced it beside him.

"Ahh Tang Long was stunned for a moment, then turned over and bowed down.

"I don't know that Zhou Daxia is also on the mountain, the kid is really rude."

"When the old man was in Yan'an Mansion, he also heard of Tang Zhisai's name, but unfortunately he never met, I don't know what is going on now?" Zhou Tong motioned to Gu Haotian to help Tang Long up.

"My father died a few years ago, and the boy caused trouble in the casino, and he went to Hebei to meet Du Qian's brother before he came here."

"I don't want Master Tang to go, the Tang family's family skills only depend on your inheritance, and now there is a place for you to use it on the mountain, but don't be greedy and gamble."

"Boy, remember." Tang Long replied respectfully.

Zhou Tong is the current martial arts master of the rivers and lakes, and he is a god-like existence in Guanxi, Tang Long, as a native of Yan'an Mansion, has of course heard of it, and he doesn't want to meet him on this mountain, and he is the master of the ancient petty officials, this shock is really too great. He followed Du Qian to toast back to his position, feeling that he was still dizzy, but realized that it was too correct to come to Liangshan this time.

Gu Haotian also toasted table by table, and the four new village chiefs sat at the end of the table, looking a little restrained.

"Several of them are village heads, and there are more than 100 households in each village, which is equivalent to two or three big guarantees compared to the villages under the mountain. Gu Haotian was pleasant, and several people slowly relaxed, and they dared to speak.

"Since the petty officials value us, I will talk about some worries in my heart, one is that there are more than 100 households in this village, and I am afraid that one of them will not take good care of them, and second, there is no law and no township covenant in governing the people on the mountain, and it is very difficult to mediate if there is a dispute."

It was a man in his thirties who said this, he glanced at Gu Haotian, and when he saw that he was listening to him, he continued.

"In the next thought that we should imitate the governance of the current village, with ten households as one guarantee, and set up a chief to govern, it is more convenient to govern, and another rural agreement should be set up to facilitate the governance of the people."

The village chief said that the matter could be discussed with the District Office tomorrow. I don't know where the village chief's surname comes from? Gu Haotian saw that this person was generous, and his appearance was not like that of ordinary villagers, and he was curious.

"In Xiahan Jiangping, the Dingzhou people's family, a few years ago in Hebei, they were exiled to Yuncheng, but fortunately the little officials rescued them, and the family was able to survive."

"The village chief talks well, not like ordinary homeless people, how did he end up here."

"It's a shame to say that the ancestor was Han Qi, the former prime minister of the dynasty, who had placed some industries during his garrison in Dingzhou, and then his old man entered Beijing, and stayed in Dingzhou under this branch. The man looked stunned.

"Village Chief Han doesn't have to be too worried, the moon is full and lacking, people have joys and sorrows, everything needs to be looked forward, who dares to conclude that you can't revive the Han family and compare with Han Xiang in his year."

Gu Haotian didn't want this person to be Han Qi, no wonder his demeanor was different, now there is a shortage of literati on the mountain, if this person has real talent and learning, he can use it.

That Han Jiangping was stunned by what Gu Haotian said, and the arrogance of the disciples of the family in his heart seemed to be awakened, although he was a little decadent after going up the mountain for a few months, but after all, unlike ordinary homeless people, he also carefully observed the situation on the mountain, and felt in his heart that this was by no means an ordinary mountain villa, and now that this little official said this, he felt that he had caught something.

"When I was young, I also read books for more than ten years, although I never had a reputation, but it turned out that I was in charge of the family accounts, and the money management was rough, so I don't know if there is a place to work for petty officials."

Han Jiangping knew that there was a shortage of talents in this area on the mountain, and after turning a corner in his heart, he immediately recommended himself, and he was indeed a shrewd person.

"Tomorrow, you will talk to Director Xiao Rang, if you have talent, it will be useful."

Gu Haotian thought that there was really a shortage of financial personnel on the mountain, that is, Du Qian's logistics office had to send someone who knew finance to help him as soon as possible, otherwise the two rough men would have a mess at that time, and it would be okay if this person was available.

That Han Jiangping hurriedly thanked him, and several people talked again, and Gu Haotian went to the second floor to toast before returning to the table. This banquet lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the moon was in the middle of the sky that everyone dispersed. Gu Haotian sent the two masters back, and went to talk to his parents before returning to his residence.

The moonlight in the mountains is extraordinarily enchanting, Gu Haotian is leaning on the beauty on the second floor of the new house, Pan Jinlian is handing over the tea on the side, the slender hands are as delicate as jade, he took the teacup with one hand and held the slender hand with the other hand. Pan Jinlian earned it gently, and leaned on his side, dissolving the moonlight, faint tea fragrance, quiet beauty, he suddenly thought that it would be good if he was a rich man in the mountains for a lifetime.

"Lian'er, if you live like this on this mountain for the rest of your life, do you think it's good?"

"As long as the little official is there, Lian'er will feel good."

"Silly girl."

……

On the railing, the two snuggled up for a long time, Pan Jinlian found that the little official had fallen asleep with too much alcohol, she struggled to set up the heavy body of the little official, staggered to the side of the bed and was waiting for him to lie down, but she couldn't stand the strength and the whole person fell down, and pressed firmly on the little official's body, and then she felt that her lips touched a soft place, and a tingling sensation quickly spread to her whole body, and her mind was blank in an instant.

After a long time, Pan Jinlian struggled to get out, but she was weak and out of breath. It took a while for her to calm herself down, then covered the quilt for the little official, and when she turned to leave, she returned to the bed, only to see her lean down and kiss the little official on the cheek lightly, before leaving in shame.
