Chapter 69: Red Face and White Face
Fumanlou is one of the more high-end restaurants in Haizhou, suitable for dinner, Chu Tianji originally thought that the Zhu family was going to Xiaohezi Township for a treat, but he didn't expect it to be a restaurant in the city.
After someone Chu came to this life, he hadn't been to any high-grade hotels, but when he came in this time, he really felt the magnificence in it.
The Zhu family's banquet was set in the box on the fifth floor, Zhu Chenglong walked in with Chu Tianji, and Zhu Quanquan immediately greeted him, and said with a smile, "Agent Chu is here, it's really brilliant." His attitude this time was a hundred times more enthusiastic than the last time he met in Zhuqiao Village.
Chu Tianji also nodded slightly, "Village Chief Zhu is too polite, I'm just a small security guard, and I'm a little uncomfortable walking into such a big hotel." ”
At this time, Chang Fuhai came up and said, "What's wrong, the hotel is open to make a profit, as long as you have money, you can enter." Don't forget that no matter how luxurious and high-end his decoration is, it is us customers who pay in the end. ”
Chu Tianji smiled, "Then we can sponsor a pillar for him this meal." ”
Zhu Chenglong said with a smile, "If you can't sponsor it, you can earn a few benches after removing the cost of manpower." ”
Everyone laughed, everyone sat down in laughter, and on the surface it still looked harmonious, and there were four people from the Zhu family, namely Zhu Quanquan, Zhu Chenglong and his daughter-in-law, and Zhu Chengbao. In addition, Chu Tianji and his uncle, Zhao Guozhong did not come.
Zhu Quanquan had to invite Chu Tianji to sit on the upper seat, and Chu scum sat down after humbling himself. He always felt that the enthusiasm of the Zhu family was quite fake, and today's purpose was probably not as simple as looking at feng shui!
The most prestigious dish of Fumanlou is the rich cow head, half a split cow head stewed red and fragrant, served on a large plate, placed in front of Chu Tianji, decorated with some turquoise lettuce, making people appetize.
Chu had eaten a lot of palace banquets in the previous life, but he was a cultivator who didn't bear hunger, and he was a little salivating when he saw this kind of dish.
Zhu Quanquan said with a smile, "This rich cow head is said to use the best buffalo head, marinated overnight with secret spices, and then simmered on low heat for a day until it is stewed until it is crispy, then it is taken out and smeared with sauce and put in the oven, and the skin is baked crispy and fragrant, so it tastes crispy on the outside and rotten on the inside." ”
Chu Tianji sighed, "I can't imagine that a bull head takes so much thought, but Village Chief Zhu knows it very well. ”
Zhu Quanquan heard the sarcasm in Chu Tianji's words, and he smiled, "Actually, Agent Chu, you don't know, I, Zhu Quanquan, made smoked bacon and braised meat before I became the village head, so of course I know all about this!"
Chang Fuhai said, "Heroes don't ask about their origins." ”
Zhu Quanquan said, "I am a hero, I have served the superior leaders all my life! I will do whatever the leaders ask me to do, and in the end it will be thankless and I will offend many people." ”
Chu Tianji said that you are doing whatever you want in Zhuqiao Village, and the father and son raped Zhu Laosi's wife, which is also what the leader asked you to do? But he said with a smile in his mouth, "It may be a feng shui problem, I'll help you take a look when I go back." ”
It can be seen that the purpose of the Zhu family's hospitality is not mainly to look at feng shui, Chu Tianji talked about feng shui, and no one in the Zhu family said anything. Zhu Chenglong said again, "Dad, I heard that this eating cow's head is also particular." ”
"Not bad. Zhu Quanquan took out the metal fork on the table and plunged it into the cow's eye, gouged out a huge eyeball, put it on Chu Tianji's plate, and said with a smile, "The biggest thing about eating this is to give the most delicious bull's eye to the most important guest on the table, Agent Chu, you taste it." ”
Zhu Chengbao said with a smile, "This also shows that this guest has a unique vision, the guests and hosts gather together, and everyone cooperates smoothly." ”
These guys are not good people, the more enthusiastic they are, the more bottomless Chu Tianji's heart becomes. So the bull's eye fragrance was sprayed there, and everyone was waiting for him to eat, but he just didn't eat it, but looked at Zhu Quanquan and said, "Village Chief Zhu, it's not that you asked me to see feng shui, how did it become cooperation again." ”
When he said this, the mood on the table suddenly cooled.
Zhu Qi's face was a little embarrassed, he put down his chopsticks and made a look, and Zhu Chengbao, the third elder of the Zhu family, hurriedly walked over and said, "Agent Chu, I actually want to ask you for a favor." ”
After speaking, Zhu Chengbao put two newspapers in front of Chu Tianji. Chu Tianji picked it up and looked at it, he had read a newspaper, "What is it like to close the case in a hurry", Li Qiang showed it to him before, and another newspaper was the day before yesterday, and it was also signed by Chen Xiaoxiao, "Why are village bandits and road rages repeatedly banned".
"It turns out that this is the purpose of inviting me to dinner!" Seeing these two newspapers, Chu Tianji understood the Zhu family's intention to invite him.
Zhu Quanquan said, "I admit that I am responsible for these things, I did not discipline my son well, and I made mistakes in some things. However, my original intention was good, to set up a village protection team to ensure law and order in the village, and there has not been a single public security case in Zhuqiao Village over the years......"
Chu Tian said that the village protection team is your minions, and no one dares to say anything if there is a case.
Zhu Quanquan said, "We collected tolls for some vehicles, but it was also to maintain the road and protect the road! Not to mention the matter of killing Zhu Laosi, my family Chenghu was a little impulsive, but in the face of a murderer who killed five people with an iron nail......
Chu Tianji corrected, "Zhao Jincai is the murderer. ”
Zhu Quanquan said, "Then Zhu Laosi is an accomplice, in the face of this kind of vicious and vicious person, do we still have to be polite to him? Not to mention that it is our Zhu family that he wants to kill, if Agent Chu is replaced by you, and someone wants to harm your family, can you still stay calm......" Speaking of this, he lowered his head and said, "Chenghu has been arrested in the morning." ”
While he was talking, the door of the box opened, and two people, one tall and one short, came in with wine glasses. The tall man with a red face, the short man in a police uniform, came on time.
Chang Fuhai was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Township Chief Zhao, Director Wang, what a coincidence!" After speaking, he hurriedly introduced Chu Tianji, "Xiaotian, this is the number one person in our Xiaohezi Township, Township Chief Zhao, and this is Director Wang of the Township Police Detective Institute." ”
"I just happened to invite someone from the Municipal Finance Bureau here, and I heard that you came over here to say a few words. Zhao Guozhong didn't see any outside, found a place to sit down, and said, "Agent Xiao Chu, it's the first time we've met, but I've been working with your uncle for a long time, and he knows my character, I'm a straight and cheerful person." ”
Chang Fuhai was under the hands of others, and he didn't dare to object, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's refreshing!"
Zhao Guozhong said again, "I have also heard about you, I think that now that Village Chief Zhu has realized his mistake and Zhu Chenghu has been punished as he deserves, this matter should not be pursued, and it will be better to see each other in the future." Besides, our party's policy has always been to treat the sick and save people, not to kill them with a stick. There is a popular saying recently, giving others a chance is also giving yourself a chance!"
