CHAPTER XX

1

Sunan was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, Wen Pu came from Beijing at ten o'clock in the morning, Sunan's ward was lively from this time, first Yuan Kun took the secretary and two deputy directors into the ward, just pulled the greetings over, Li Hanyi pulled all the team members at home, and soon after, when Dean Li came in, there were also a few people behind him, the ward was full of large and small leaders, the room temperature rose, the smell was mixed, Wen Pu took advantage of the chaos, and quietly opened the window.

Sunan is obviously going to have lunch and then go back to Beijing, in this way, how to eat his lunch is a matter, Yuan Kun and Li Hanyi both want to pay the bill for this lunch, and Dean Li's mood is also hanging on his lips, everyone is tacitly waiting for the opportunity to catch the right to see off the leader for lunch.

Dongsheng's leaders had already salvaged out Wen Pu's brain, he felt that this meal was indeed not easy to arrange, and it was no wonder that it was difficult for these leaders, especially Li Hanyi and Yuan Kun, who would not link this feast with two hundred million. Now the ownership trend of 200 million is still pressed under Sunan's tongue, if Sunan eats Li Hanyi's meal today, Yuan Kun will not be able to sit still in Dongsheng in the future, and if Sunan responds to Yuan Kun's invitation, the small drum in Li Hanyi's heart will have to be beaten for a while. Speaking of which, this is not an ordinary leader's dinner, nor is it a coming and going in an emotional sense, the benefits of this lunch are too great, so Wen Pu thought, about the way to eat this lunch, Sunan should have considered it in advance, at this time, he can't casually open his mouth to disrupt his established arrangements, where to go, or let Sunan's mouth lead the way forward. But he was also sensitive at this time, Sunan's psychological preparation for this lunch did not seem to be too sufficient, which others could not see, but he could realize it. Later, while everyone was not paying attention, Wen Pu quietly left the ward.

In fact, Sunan has long felt that several heavyweights in this room have the desire to be masters of their own affairs at the lunch in front of them, and who they eat and who they don't eat, in the end it is not difficult to eat, but difficult to rely on the tendency of 200 million. What if Yuan and Li were divided into five and fifty to arrange this meal? As soon as he thought about it, Sunan denied it, how could they make this meal AA? You give half out, I give half out, that's not a joke.

Sunan originally wanted to be accompanied by Dean Li at noon, call Gong Kun and a few others, eat a few small stir-fried things in the small restaurant of the hospital, and go back to Beijing after a little rest, but now it seems that his calculations are a little out of reality.

At this time, Yuan Kun and Li Hanyi were whispering something, and after Sunan found out, he asked, what are the two bureau chiefs plotting?

Li Han smiled and said, Minister Su ......

Yuan Kun couldn't hold his breath, picked it open and said, Minister Su, Director Li and I are talking about 200 million.

Although the topic was very sensitive, Sunan did not dodge, but asked with interest, then did you say that friendship comes first? Or do you want to put your interests first?

Li Hanyi answered, Minister Su, the first game is the big brother game, and the big brother can still make the little brother suffer at that time?

Yuan Kun hurriedly said, Minister Su, I think the ministry still combines the first and second bureaus, saving me and Director Li from sharing what you and mine all day long, and dividing it is also the meat of the ministry, and the rotten in the ministry is in the pot.

Sunan realized that Yuan Kun was using his rough temperament as a cover-up, and used the vernacular to dig up the whispers in his heart, so he said ambiguously, brother, settle accounts.

As soon as Yuan Kun and Li Han looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and the ward was quiet.

Later, when Sunan didn't know whether to go east or west for this lunch, Gong Kun came and greeted Sunan, Wen Pu and the leaders she knew.

Gong Kun said, chief, I also said that I would like to invite you to Ma's house to eat a casserole at noon today, and you will go back to Beijing by the way.

Dean Li answered with a smile, Minister Su, you haven't been to Ma's house, have you? Ma's family is an authentic Muslim village, and the casserole there is famous far and wide.

It does have a local character. Wen Pu added that he had been to Ma's house once.

Yuan Kun and Li Hanyi exchanged glances, and each other's meanings seemed to be saying, the Ma family is of low grade and the local flavor is too strong, can Minister Su eat it smoothly? How did this Gong Kun do it, isn't this a blind stick inserted into it?

Sunan asked with interest, where is Ma's house?

Li Han together, outside the city, Minister Su, not far from the entrance of the highway.

Sunan said with a smile on his face, Okay, go around the countryside, I'm very happy, take a few breaths of fresh air, eat and drink, and go back to Beijing, so I don't have to come back to trouble you.

Wen Pu lost no time in saying, leaders, Director Gong, then let's go to Ma's house, but we have to state in advance, and I will thank you on behalf of Minister Su at noon.

Sunan felt that the simple words came at the right time, so he said happily, look at my secretary, is it an ordinary secretary? I don't have a good memory, so I lost the meaning of thanking you, and I can pick it up if I lose it to Secretary Wen, and I can still implement it in time.

Wen Pu looked at Li Hanyi, Yuan Kun and Dean Li, and said with a restrained expression, Minister Su's gratitude was there a few days ago, I have been thinking about it, I didn't drive here today, Minister Su's driver came, I just want to have a few glasses of wine with a few leaders at noon, thank you. Minister Su is very satisfied with everyone's work and the care he has taken care of these days.

Yuan Kun rubbed his hands and said, Secretary Wen, listen to what you say, then we have nothing to say.

Li Hanyi has regrets about this kind of ending, but it is also passable, after all, it is not the second game that has a bye, and the first game is also a blank slate.

When he went downstairs, Yuan Kun still felt that it was inappropriate to go to Ma's house, so he caught up with Wen Pu and bit his ear, saying that we can deal with the sanitary conditions in Ma's house, can the leader make do with it? In case you don't eat well, everyone is responsible. In terms of hygiene, Wen Pu has not thought about it, he also has some worries about the sanitary conditions of Ma's house, fortunately, he has been to Ma's house, and then he thinks that eating casserole is relatively safe to eat stir-fried vegetables, so it should be nothing for Sunan to make do with a meal.

Wen Pu knows in his heart, when the official is the chief, the average person will think that the chief's mouth is not the mouth of ordinary people, and the chief's mouth should eat delicacies and birds and animals all day long, but in fact, the CCP and the prime minister of the government often go to the people's homes to eat home-cooked meals. Speaking of which, from the central to the local level, the leaders of all sizes pay attention to food safety and balanced nutrition in their diets.

Wen Pu said to Yuan Kun, things are already like this, I can only go to Ma's house to let Minister Su feel it, if Minister Su feels bad, it will be too late to change places, it's a big deal to step on the accelerator a few more times, and go back to Beijing to invite you.

Yuan Kun had nothing to say, so he smiled.

The leaders all have cars, so Gong Kun got on the Audi in southern Jiangsu naturally.

2

When several cars drove into the horse house one after the other, Sunan was surprised, there was no dirt road in the village, a small building cluster of new style, the air floated if there was a fishy smell, everywhere you can see the casserole house, casserole shop, casserole city, casserole king, casserole home, casserole whole, casserole fairy, casserole sump, as well as the old casserole, ancestral casserole, Zhang Ji casserole, Majia casserole, Wang Datou casserole and other plaques, some shop doors are not painted or painted, the old wood color, it looks like the flow of thoughts. However, Bora, Jetta, Teana, Carrier, Tongfudao, Santana, Cherokee, Mazda, Hongqi, Gale, Nidao, Land Rover, Shenzi, Onge, Triti, and Audi, Jiahua, Crown, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Calenge, Buick Bullet and other cars can still prove what year it is.

Gong Kun said very expertly, it's like this here every day, and you have to wait if it's late.

When Sunan heard this, he hurriedly asked, is it time for us to come?

Gong Kun said that there is seventy or eighty percent certainty, Minister Su.

Sunan glanced out the window of the car and found some cars with Beijing and Tianjin license plates, and said that Ma's house was lively enough.

After the car stopped, Li Hanyi and Yuan Kun got out of the car first, and then went to open the door for the leader.

After Gong Kun got out of the car, he pointed to the old five families a few steps away and said that the casserole of the old five families in the Manma family is authentic, and the ancestral three generations are unique.

Sunan sniffled, his eyes wandered, and he saw that everything was fresh.

A chaihuang dog ran over with a twist, Sunan laughed and teased the dog, so happy.

After entering the old five's house, Gong Kun talked to the young man who greeted him, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. There were people on several tables, and Sunan was a little anxious on his face.

Yuan Kun saw it and asked the driver in a low voice, is there a private room?

The driver said in a low voice, if there is a private room, there will be no rural characteristics Director Yuan, the shops with private rooms in Ma's house are not authentic stores.

Yuan Kunfei looked at the table near the window, and there were two people on the table, a middle-aged man with glasses and a hunchbacked old man, who were eating.

Yuan Kun's gaze met the middle-aged man's gaze behind the lenses, and he was instinctively stunned, and the middle-aged man hurriedly put his right index finger on his lips, took off his glasses, and spoke with his eyes.

Yuan Kun comprehended, and when he saw that Sunan and Wen Pu were about to ask him something, he was also busy learning the middle-aged man to put a finger under his nose and shook his head gently.

The middle-aged man got up and came over, holding Yuan Kun's hands tightly, as if they were reunited after a long absence, and at the same time greeted Sunan and Wen Pu, who were still confused, with his eyes.

Yuan Kun asked in a low voice, what the hell are you doing?

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, I am quietly entering the village.

Yuan Kun smiled, thinking that no wonder he was wearing a pair of mirrors, for fear of being recognized.

At this time, Li Hanyi also recognized the middle-aged man, and was just about to call Mayor Wang, so he dragged Yuan Kun.

As soon as Li Han didn't know what was going on, he waved at the person he recognized.

Yuan Kun hurriedly introduced Sunan and Wen Pu to the middle-aged man, and then whispered to Sunan, saying that this person was Wang Qinghe, the executive deputy mayor of Dongsheng City.

Sunan and Wen Pu shook hands with Wang Qinghe, and the smiles on their faces flew straight away.

Wang Qinghedao, acquaintance is fate, intersection is already, come and come, there is no idle table, just come to my table.

Because of the secret, everyone avoided prevarication at this time and chose a seat.

Wang Qinghe said that the old man next to him was his father, one in seventy, deaf and dumb, but his body was quite tough, and as long as he didn't go out, he would bring the old man here at least two or three times a month, and the old man would be proud. Everyone greeted the old man with their eyes, and the old man nodded frequently and smiled happily.

At this time, the young man who ran the hall stood beside Wang Qinghe and listened to the shouting. Wang Qinghe rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, there are many people, just a set of eight immortals to return to the world.

Gong Kun explained to Sunan through Li Hanyi that the so-called eight immortals returning to the world are eight varieties of casseroles, the same one, and there are more people to eat and be lively.

Sunan nodded straightly.

Wang Qinghe asked the guests what to drink, Sunan was just in good spirits, and he came when he opened his mouth, and I saw that the road was full of advertisements for cooking pots in his hometown, so he drank the cooking pots in his hometown.

Everyone said that the hometown is good for cooking pots, local wine, genuine, and with casserole.

Gong Kun had a different opinion, she persuaded Sunan not to drink liquor, just came out of the hospital, drink a little red wine, and the meaning was fine.

Sunan was blocked, and it was not good to talk to Gong Kun, so he looked at Dean Li and said, I said expert, can you give me a pulse of wine?

Dean Li said, I'm bad at these two times, so let's let Secretary Wen take care of it, right?

Wen Pu said, white bar, I'll drink it.

Gong Kun didn't expect Wen Pu to pass the field with a word, and no one was embarrassed, so they glanced at Wen Pu appreciatively.

When Sunan went down the steps, he stopped mentioning the wine, rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, I can't imagine that there is such a good place on the edge of Beijing."

Li Han smiled and said, Dongsheng Treasure Land, since ancient times, outstanding spirits.

Yuan Kun lit a cigarette, he was not interested in this kind of place.

The work is not large, and the eight immortals return to the world and put them on the table one after another, steaming hot and fragrant. Looking at the casserole, it is not exquisite, charcoal gray, belly bulge, the bottom and the mouth of the pot are slightly narrow, quite like the medicine jar of decoction of Chinese medicine, antique, not common on the market. The young man put down the pot of his hometown, held a blue and white porcelain bowl in his right hand, and operated an old copper spoon with an old leaky eye in his left hand, and took out a stew from the eight casseroles and placed it in the flower porcelain bowl. Wen Pu felt that this move must have been said, but the young man didn't break it, left a sentence to use slowly, and left.

Everyone was confused, only Gong Kun seemed to know the inside story, but she smiled and said nothing.

The empty cups were filled one by one, Wang Qinghe said, these eight immortals returned to the world, from a legend, just now you all saw the young man's actions, right? Come on, come on, everyone will be happy, after doing this cup, I will say a few more words.

Everyone drank it all.

Wang Qinghe glanced at everyone and then began to speak. said that in the past, two people made a bet, and one said, if you can eat eight large bowls of soup and meat in one meal, I will lose you ten taels of silver. The other is not ambiguous, saying that if I can't eat these eight big bowls, I will lose you five taels and one pair of silver. So he found witnesses and gambled. When he ate eight bowls, the eater was already round and his eyes were rolling, but he didn't admit defeat and gave up his life and money! Seeing that he was about to kill people, the shopkeeper had an idea, stepped forward and stretched out a colander to stir in the pot and said, the guest officer is offended, offended, just now I saw maggot corpses floating in the pot. After that, he fished out a small piece of lamb liver for the diner to see, and the diner said with a stalk of his neck, this is clearly a cow's heart. The shopkeeper said with a sigh, the maggot corpse must have entered the stomach of the guest officer. When the diners heard this, their necks stiffened, and they vomited, and the floor was filthy. Seeing that the winning party was gone, the shopkeeper said, how about I give the guest ten taels of silver? The next day, the one who almost died, sent the shopkeeper twenty taels of silver, thanked him again and again, and then said that he would take a spoonful of meat and return a piece of his life. As for the eight big bowls called the Eight Immortals back to the world, the reputation of a set of combination casseroles, it is a work of interpretation by later generations, which is intended to borrow immortal virtue and metaphor character. At this point, Wang Qinghe shook his head and waved his hand, stop, stop, how can you just listen to me? Come on, let's move chopsticks.

A few people at the next table were also fascinated by the listening.

Over there, a quiet little old man on the counter came over with a clay altar at this time, and said to Wang Qinghe excitedly that this comrade knows a lot about the history and the present, has wonderful words and legends, and knows a lot about folk culture and the casserole in the Ma family, which makes the old man admire.

Wang Qinghe said that the old gentleman agreed, conceded.

The little old man said that the old man picked up and dropped off thousands of diners, and it was the first time he had met such a knowledgeable person. In fact, this comrade is a frequent customer of the shop, and he is clumsy and clumsy.

Wuqing River Road, Mr. is polite.

Put the clay altar on the table, the little old man said, this jar of old wine, is the ancestral craft brewing, has been fifteen years, today, send a product to the comrades, a little help the comrades to get together.

Wen Pu looked at Wang Qinghe's ordinary wide face, and for some reason a chill appeared in his heart.

After eating, Mrs. Li Hanyi called, and Li Hanyi felt that it was not appropriate to answer at the dinner table, so he left the dining table to answer outside.

What do you say happened to Xiaohong? Li Hanyi asked.

Madame choked up and said, just now she said that she went out to find you, and when she went down the stairs, she didn't go down well, and jumped ...... As a result, he rolled down, broke his right leg, and the child will not be able to leave the hospital tomorrow. The old nanny was even afraid of bringing the fire, and her blood pressure suddenly became high, and she couldn't stand still, so she also went to the observation room at this time.

Before going to the southern hospital at that time, Li Hanyi asked the people who followed him to wait for him at the elevator for a while, and he hurried to see his daughter Xiaohong. Xiaohong was very close to him today, hugged him and kissed him enough, and played with his hair.

Li Han had a big head and a big melon, his eyes were dark for a while, and he said for a long time, I will go to the hospital when I send Minister Su away.

Madame said, if you are busy, don't come here yet, my sister will be there later.

Li Han's heart was sour, something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

Madam sighed and said, Okay, I won't tell you more, you can go and have dinner with Minister Su, but you must not drink Han Yi, your stomach ......

Li Hanyi said, don't worry!

After Wen Pu returned to Beijing, he sent a short message to Gong Kun, thanking Director Gong.

Gong Kun replied, you're welcome, welcome to come often, but not hospitalized.

This lunch in the Ma family was made by Gong Kun as a cameo. At that time in the hospital, Wen Pu didn't go anywhere else after leaving the Sunan ward, but went directly to Gong Kun, asked her to do a favor to solve the siege, and in her own name, Zhang Luo took lunch to Ma's house, and then he took the words over, and she didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.
