Chapter 68, eating hot pot
"Dongfang Key, you can talk about the arrangements for the next stage of water smelting." Gu Linjiang said that the water smelting work in Xicheng Street has been stuck there, and as the director of the district's "Five Water Office," he is also anxious.
Dongfang Jian knew that reporting to the leader could not be long-winded, so he thought for a while and said, "I made a risky move. ”
"Oh, what kind of risky moves were played? Let's hear it. Gu Linjiang asked with interest.
Dongfang Jian briefly explained the purpose and results of organizing the villagers' physical examination. After hearing this, Gu Linjiang praised and said: "You really deserve to be a young man, and you have a lot of ghost ideas, but your fierce medicine is a bit heavy, so you are not afraid of making a mess." ”
"I really can't think of any good ideas, it's called rushing to the doctor." Oriental Key scratched his scalp and said.
"This may be a breakthrough, but you have to seize the moment and be good at guiding public opinion." Lin Hao said.
"I still have a worry, I'm afraid that Xu Yucheng will make an obstacle and make our plan fall short, so I came to ask District Chief Gu and you for help."
"Tell me, can I help with this favor or not?" Gu Linjiang obviously already likes this young man who dares to fight.
"Please come forward to organize the natural ecological protection and epidemic prevention department to quickly carry out pollution investigation in Jinghe Village, find out the source of the serious illness of the villagers, and help us."
"This is easy, I immediately arranged for them to send someone to the scene tomorrow morning to investigate." Gu Linjiang agreed, and he asked again: "What other difficulties are there to talk about together." ”
Dongfang Jian said: "The mold town is about to be completed, and it is now the most critical time, her success or failure is directly related to the relocation of the mold street, and also related to the smelting of Xicheng Street. ”
Gu Linjiang pondered for a while and said, "I know about this, I will think about it, you go back first." ”
Returning to the "Five Water Office" from the office of the head of Gu, Lin Hao warned Dongfang Jian: "Judging from Zhou Zhijun's case, the water smelting environment in Xicheng Street is more complicated, you have to keep a clear head, you go back and tell everyone that you can't take things that shouldn't be taken, and you can't participate in the banquet that shouldn't be eaten, you must pay attention to risk prevention, if something goes wrong, it will not only affect the water smelting work, but also affect your future and destiny, you are currently the person in charge of the water smelting office, and you have the responsibility to protect everyone's safety." ”
"Director Lin, don't worry, I'll do my best."
"Well, do you have a suspicion in your mind from what you just said?" Lin Hao asked.
"Committing crimes is inseparable from motives, who will benefit the most from pulling Zhou Zhijun down? Just think about it. ”
"Do you doubt Xu Yucheng?"
"Even if it's not the mastermind, it's a participant." Oriental Key affirmed.
"Then you should be more wary of him and not have a confrontation with him, you know?"
"Well, I know. Director Lin, I'll go back to the unit. ”
"Don't stay at home at night?"
"Now is a critical moment, I dare not slack off, I must always keep an eye on it." Dongfang Jian said with a smile.
"Okay, what's the situation to contact me at any time? In particular, if you are not sure about eating, you have to tell me, and we will face it together. ”
"Thank you, Director, goodbye."
Returning to the office from the district is just the rush hour after work, the traffic jam on the road is very serious, and I am afraid that I will miss dinner when I return to the unit, so he called Xu Chuchu: "The road is very congested, I am afraid that it will be late to return to the unit, you don't have to eat dinner, let's go out to eat, how about it?" ”
"Okay." Xu Chuchu immediately agreed. Since there are not many people eating in the canteen of the unit at night, and they are all some foreign single dogs, the dinner in the canteen is nothing more than leftovers or boiled noodles or fried rice cakes at noon.
"Xiao Lu, Xiao He, what about them?" Oriental Key asked.
"Isn't there nothing to do in the near future? They went home. ”
"Okay, you wait for me in the unit." Dongfang Jian said.
It doesn't feel safe to rent a house outside, Xu Chuchu has been living in the unit guest house, but the internal staff live in the guest house for a fee, which is generally much cheaper than renting a house outside, although the room in the guest house is relatively simple, she also admits it, isn't it just a place to sleep, it doesn't matter.
Dongfang Jian returned to the office at half past seven, he hurriedly asked Xu Chuchu out, and asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?" ”
"It's fine." Xu Chuchu reluctantly said that if she hadn't promised him in advance, she would have gone to the cafeteria to eat by herself.
Dongfang Jian said: "There is a new hot pot restaurant called 'Niu Very Fresh' on the street, let's try it." ”
"Okay." Xu Chuchu readily agreed, young people like to catch up with the tide, where there are more people, the two walked along Qingnian Road to the intersection of Laodong South Road. The spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown Chinese cuisine to all parts of the country, greatly enriching the food culture of the people of the motherland, and allowing the general public to realize the "great project" of being able to taste delicious food all over the country without leaving home. Fujian Shaxian snacks, Sichuan Malatang, Chongqing hot pot, Quzhou rabbit head, Lanzhou ramen and other special restaurants are all over the street.
When they rushed to the "Niu Very Fresh" hot pot restaurant, although the first wave of climax had passed, there was still a long queue at the door of the restaurant. ”
The waiter looked at the computer and said, "There are twenty-eight." ”
"How long do I have to wait?"
"At least fifteen minutes."
"Why don't we change places?" Oriental Key asked.
"It's okay, just wait." Xu Chuchu said that she thought that since so many people were willing to wait, the hot pot in this restaurant must not be wrong.
After waiting for twenty minutes, the waiter handed Dongfang Jian a seat number, smiled and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, table thirty-two in the hall." ”
When I entered the hall, I was obedient, the hall was full of customers eating hot pot, young and old, and the hot boiling gas in the hot pot made the hall cloudy and foggy, full of all kinds of smells. The waiter asked, "What kind of pot soup do you want?" There is clear soup, tomato sour soup, and mandarin duck soup. ”
"Of course you have to eat hot pot, let's have a mandarin duck soup." Xu Chuchu said.
"Be slightly spicy." Dongfang Jian added that it was too spicy for him to eat and he was not used to it.
"Okay, except for the beef and soup base, all the other hot pot ingredients are free, please take them yourself." The waiter said as he handed over a beef menu.
Hungry, Xu Chuchu no longer held back, she ordered a beef roll and beef shutters, handed the menu to Dongfang Key, and Dongfang Key ordered a beef hoof tendon and beef offal.
"Please wait." The waiter set up the dishes, chopsticks and all kinds of utensils and went to entertain the guests at the other table.
The hot pot has a wide variety of ingredients, and it fills a long row of shelves. Xu Chuchu said: "Let's go our separate ways, you start from that end, and I start from this side to choose." ”
The two of them selected the mountain-like ingredients, retrieved all kinds of spices, everything was ready, the bottom of the pot was boiled, and the waiter also brought four things such as beef rolls.
Dongfang Jian asked: "How about some beer for hot pot?" ”
The belly was about to be flattened, Xu Chuchu said, "Whatever." ”
"Okay, the waiter will have a box of small Qingdao." Dongfang Key shouted.
The waiter came over and said, "I'll tell you in advance, the drinks are at your own expense." ”
"I know." Dongfang Jian glanced at the waiter, and it was not that he had never eaten hot pot.
The waiter quickly brought a box of small Qingdao and asked, "Do you want to open it all for you?" ”
"Open the second bottle first, put the bottle opener, and we will open the rest ourselves." Dongfang Key told her.
"I'm going to get out of the pot." Xu Chuchu couldn't wait.
"Let's go."
Xu Chuchu put the beef roll into the pot, took it out and tasted it five minutes later, and shouted: "This beef roll is really fresh, tender, and delicious." ”。
Seeing her look of satisfaction and intoxication, Dongfang Jian smiled and said, "It's delicious, order it again, let go of your stomach and eat it tonight, it's enough." He also tasted the beef, and it was really good, and he took the bottle and said, "Come, cheers." ”
"Here, cheers." This scene seems to be full of the spirit of drinking in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat.
