Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wine Bureau
Jiefang Road, West District, Lake City. Red Star Hotel.
This hotel is next to the compound of the garrison area, which belongs to the hotel under the military region and is a guest house for the troops. Although the grade is not as good as those star-rated hotels, it is better to be clean and tidy.
When I went to the army guest house to eat, there was only one result, straight in and out sideways.
Therefore, Chen Yang and Ji Xian'er came by taxi.
got out of the car and was about to walk to the door of the hotel, Ji Xian'er suddenly gently tugged at him: "Hey, Chen Yang, you wait." ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Yang stopped.
Ji Xian'er lowered her head and hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from her small bag, poured out two tablets, spread them in the palm of her hand and stretched them out in front of Chen Yang: "Let's eat these two pills first." ”
Chen Yang looked at her palm and said curiously, "What kind of medicine is this?" What are you eating? ”
"This is vitamin B1, which can protect the liver, so you can eat two tablets." Ji Xian'er said as she handed the pill to Chen Yang's mouth and wanted to feed Chen Yang.
In this big court, Chen Yang's old face turned red, and he quickly coughed twice. Dodge. But Ji Xian'er didn't give up, he had no choice but to quickly bite the pill and swallow it into his stomach.
Ji Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, wiped the corners of Chen Yang's mouth with her fingers, and then took out two pieces of them and put them in her mouth.
"Hey, that's smart. You know I'm bringing you for a drink. ”
Chen Yang said with a smile. It's not all ridicule, you must know that Ji Xian'er has been a hotel manager for so many years, and the amount of alcohol must be not shallow. He took Ji Xian'er with him, also thinking that she could help him drink some. Otherwise, he can't really play Liu Tianqiang, the god of wine in the army.
"Badass!" Ji Xian'er bit her lip and took a sip secretly, her cheeks were full of spring, and she patted Chen Yang disobediently. In a gesture, the charming charm of a woman is undoubtedly revealed.
Chen Yang laughed and grabbed Ji Xian'er's hand.
"Hello Chief!"
A very inopportune voice interrupted the two in the flirtatious mood.
Chen Yang turned his head and saw that it was a small soldier in military uniform who was saluting and greeting him.
This little warrior, he remembers, is the fierce man who pointed a gun at Tian Hongliang's head last night. Meticulous in carrying out orders, Chen Yang likes him a lot. smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Hehe, I'm not your chief, don't be so restrained." ”
The little soldier was very obedient and immediately put his hand down.
"By the way, what's your name?" Chen Yang asked again.
"Report to the chief, my name is Xie Xiaojun." The little warrior stood upright, and then said, "Chief, our leader asked me to lead you in." ”
Chen Yang sighed and nodded. As he walked, he said: "Then who, Xiaojun, don't always call the chief like this in the future, it's weird and awkward, my surname is Chen, you can just call me Brother Chen." ”
Xie Xiaojun led the way in front, and when he heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and called Brother Chen hello.
While laughing, several people went up to a box on the third floor.
The box was already full of laughter at this time, Liu Tianqiang and a few acquaintances were chatting over tea, waiting for Chen Yang to arrive.
After entering, after a warm introduction to each other, everyone got to know each other.
Only then did Chen Yang know that among these escorts, in addition to a major named Wang Pei, the remaining two in civilian clothes were also Liu Tianqiang's comrades-in-arms. The one who was a little fatter was the Tang political commissar of the South Asia Public Security Bureau that Liu Tianqiang mentioned on the phone at noon, and the other one who said less was the director of the Second Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervision Department, named Ren Feng.
The work style of the troops was excellent, and as soon as the people arrived, they immediately served the food and started the meal.
These soldiers are very cheerful and bold, and they start drinking before the food is served.
Chen Yang was a treat. Naturally, we should first salute and chat about our hearts. But in this army, the kind of thumb cup that is not popular for drinking is used, but the tempered cup for drinking beer, and you have to drink about two fingers of white wine at a time.
So, after three rounds of drinking, Chen Yang finished saluting one by one, and eight taels of white wine entered his stomach, and he couldn't bear it a little. found an excuse to talk to Liu Tianqiang's wife.
probably guessed that Chen Yang would bring Ji Xian'er over, so Liu Tianqiang brought his wife over, so as not to embarrass Ji Xian'er as a woman. In fact, if he knew what Ji Xian'er was doing, he probably wouldn't have thought so.
Liu Tianqiang's wife is also surnamed Liu, from the same village as him, now with the army, full-time at home with children, people from the countryside, very easy-going personality, and Chen Yang met ten years ago.
After a brief chat, Chen Yang was concerned: "Sister-in-law, are you bored at home?" Why don't I contact you in two days? The two of you will receive a salary now, and the allowance that Brother Tianqiang receives in the army is not very high, not to mention that he is living a tight life, Xiao Hao should study in the next year, don't suffer the child. ”
Because they are all old acquaintances, Chen Yang speaks very directly, and he doesn't have to worry about the other party misunderstanding. And at that time in 96, the salary of the army had not been reformed, and it was indeed not very high.
Sister-in-law Liu wanted to agree after hearing this, but Liu Tianqiang, who was busy clinking glasses with her comrades-in-arms, took the time to turn around and scold, "Don't be confused, what's the difficulty?" Is there less trouble for the head of the regiment in our family! She didn't dare to say more.
Liu Tianqiang was Chen Yaohua's guard when he first joined the army, and Chen Yaohua was already the deputy head of the regiment at that time. So until now, he has not been able to change his name.
Chen Yang glanced at Liu Tianqiang, stopped talking, and sighed helplessly. secretly scolded this Liu Tianqiang really doesn't open his mind, what is the truth of a big fart. I thought I had the opportunity to talk to him again.
At this time, Tang Political Commissar saw that he was a little cold, so he raised his glass to return to Chen Yang: "Come, Xiao Chen, I salute you for this cup, you gave us a big gift last night." The rich man's place is a tiger. ”
"Brother Tang, look at what you said, it's all the credit of Brother Tianqiang, or I'll respect you!"
Chen Yang said as he raised his glass to greet him, and after touching it, he poured two fingers down hard, and was about to put the cup down, but found that the political commissar of Rentang had finished the entire glass of wine in one go, and couldn't help but gasp.
This is miserable, according to the rules on the wine table, he has to drink this cup too. Glancing at the remaining half of the glass of wine, my scalp suddenly began to tingle.
Ji Xian'er also knew that Chen Yang was dying, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "A few leaders, I'll help Chen Yang drink this cup." He was busy with work during this time. A little upset in the stomach. ”
It's all up to physical health problems, plus it's still a beautiful lady helping to block the wine, how can everyone have any opinions, and they all smiled and nodded.
Chen Yang actually didn't want a woman to help him block the wine in his heart, but after pouring the whole glass of three taels of wine, he had to spray it on the spot. In comparison, live broadcast is more face-saving.
Ji Xian'er smiled gratefully at everyone and took the wine glass from Chen Yang's hand. As soon as he raised his neck, he killed it directly, which was quite refreshing, and he didn't frown.
Everyone was shocked. How can this Xiao Ji drink wine like drinking boiled water?
But what surprised them even more was yet to come.
Next, in order to prevent anyone from looking for Chen Yang to drink again, Ji Xian'er simply put on her own and saluted one by one, even Sister-in-law Liu, who had nothing to do with herself, refused to let go, and gave a white salute.
After a few laps, everyone who was originally going to get drunk Chen Yang got up and went to the toilet, Ji Xian'er had good eyesight, and immediately stopped working, so she left a little thin noodles for the leaders.
Chen Yang calculated, after a few laps, Ji Xian'er had drunk at least more than a pound of Moutai, but it looked like his face was dyed with a thin layer of red, and he spoke as if he hadn't drunk, which made him speechless.
Taking advantage of the other people's time to go to the toilet together, Chen Yang grabbed Ji Xian'er and asked, "How are you?" Drink a lot, right? ”
"It's okay, but you can't leave me alone if I'm drunk in a while." Ji Xian'er laughed and said, how could she be a little drunk, and then approached Chen Yang's ear, snorted hot, and said, "Husband, when I was rich in the past, those stinky men said that I looked the best after drinking, and they all wanted to take advantage of me." Hehe, do you want to kiss me now? As she spoke, she also put her fingers into Chen Yang's shirt and gently circled Chen Yang's chest with her nails.
Chen Yang didn't expect Ji Xian'er to become so bold after drinking, and even her husband was called, and she was tickled, but this was a public occasion, so she had to pay attention to the impact, and quickly caught Ji Xian'er's strange hand. After Ji Xian'er's hand was caught, he brought his red face closer, with a charming expression of "Come and bite me", which made him feel the urge to correct this woman on the spot.
Fortunately, everyone came back after going to the toilet at this time.
But when everyone comes back. No one dared to talk about drinking anymore. Chen Yang asked the waiter to serve a few pots of good tea, and chatted while drinking tea.
Liu Tianqiang and the others are all veterans who have participated in the counterattack against Vietnam, and they like to talk about the war after drinking every time. This time was no exception. Chen Yang was also very interested in this, and he didn't interject, just listened to the story intently. There were outsiders there, but Ji Xian'er was honest and sat quietly on the side.
Chatting and chatting, the Tang political commissar somehow mentioned the red theme park in Ningling, and sighed between his words.
Chen Yang also became curious when he heard this, and he also knew that this theme park was a red tourism project that Ningling County applied to the Planning Commission, which included some parks with educational significance, such as the Eighth Route Army Office, the Vietnam War Martyrs Monument, and so on.
The local government originally hoped that after the completion of the park, it would be able to stimulate tourism consumption in that area, but times have changed, and the park has not been popular since its completion, and the park has not been able to make ends meet. The local government was expecting to earn some tax revenue from this, but it didn't expect to become a burden in the end, and the state was only responsible for part of the first phase of the project, so naturally, the second phase of the project was aborted. He signed the project inspection report of the Planning Commission at the beginning.
"Alas, look at the trenches of the Red Army, the offices of the Eighth Route Army have been built, why don't we help build a monument!" Old Tang sighed, he didn't notice that he had a speech problem at all, and it sounded weird.
"yes, didn't you invest in the news at the beginning? According to me, eighty percent of the money allocated to us by the state is used by the local government for other purposes. Liu Tianqiang also echoed, it is also a language disease, this is probably the veteran's ** illness, followed him and looked at Chen Yang again, "Oh yes, Xiao Yang, aren't you from the Planning Commission?" Let's see if you can help us check another day, if anyone dares to use the money we used to erect the monument, I'll shoot him! ”
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed.
