The southern dishes invited to this banquet were also carefully calculated by Yang Liufang, Li Tongfu and the master chef. Master Fu was a big fan Zhuangzi in Xi'an when he was an apprentice, and he was very familiar with northern cuisine, but he was very unfamiliar with southern cuisine. Since it was the spring of March, most of the seafood was not on the market, and Li Tongfu only brought a ham made of pork hind legs, two sealed large yellow croaker, a bag of sealed small yellow croaker and a bag of shrimp when he returned from Yiwu. After repeated discussions, the three of them made several special dishes from their hometown on the table today: three slices of cracked shrimp, plum vegetables and pork, and dried fried small yellow croaker. The ham and yellow croaker that Li Tongfu brought back from Yiwu were made into another classic dish in his hometown.

Although the large yellow croaker used this time is not fresh, it is still more delicious than ordinary river fish after being vacuumed and sealed in a plastic bag. Yang Liufang just told the master about this dish in the order that his grandmother made during the New Year, and the master understood it, and skillfully removed the head, tail and skin of the big yellow croaker, leaving only the belly of the fish to cut into slices, and then wrapped in dry starch, and asked his aunt to slowly beat it into a thin fillet with a rolling pin, and put it in boiling water to set. Finally, shred the Jinhua ham, shred the mushrooms, tear the chicken thighs into shreds, etc., and cook them together with the blanched fish fillets. The fillet is tender and refreshing to eat, and it is very delicious.

Yang Liufang beckoned everyone to take a seat, and the leaders spoke in turn, with emotion, encouragement and expectation in their words, and expressed their support for the factory without leaking. After toasting together, savor the delicious food, and then stagger and stagger. During the banquet, the leaders were more interested in southern cuisine.

In fact, this comes from the coastal Wenzhou people's delicate treatment of aquatic products to the extreme, such as the three-piece knock shrimp on the table and the three-wire knock fish have the same effect, this is the authentic Wenzhou Yang City home cooking, although it belongs to the coast, but there is still a long distance from the sea. But the village and town have always been densely covered with river networks, so compared to seafood, river fresh is the protagonist of home-cooked food. This time, they soaked the vacuum-packed shrimp and knocked them into slices, sliced Jinhua ham and simmered it in broth, and then blanched the chicken breast slices, mixed with sliced shuifa shiitake mushrooms, and added chicken broth, Shao wine, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, dry starch, cooked lard and other condiments to stew. When the soup is rich like milk, serve in a bowl and serve with leafy greens. The red, white and green colors are distinct, and the soup is clear and fresh, smooth and refreshing. President Li was very happy and suggested that they also contract the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperatives and open it directly in Xizhou City.

"President, last year, our team made this suggestion to my brother, but instead of contracting a canteen, we opened a restaurant." Li Tongfu said to the president after hearing it.

"Really? Xiao Li, Xiao Yang, then we are like-minded. When the time comes, you will focus on northern and southern dishes, and this table will definitely have a lot of customers in Xizhou. As he spoke, he raised his glasses, and the two of them hurriedly stood up and raised their glasses in response.

"Thank you President for the opportunity, in fact, I also have this idea, we will work hard. When the production line is rolled out on my side, we will submit the plan and ask you for approval. ”

"Okay, I'll report to the president of the head office palace when I go back, and blow the wind at our regular meeting." This is really great news, Yang Liufang raised his wine glass and drank it all, and poured it full to toast the leader. After three rounds of drinking, he got drunk again.

Yang Liufang was drunk, but he remembered clearly what the leader promised him. Three days later, there was no news from the township, and there was still no news for five days. Yang Liufang didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he called Li Tongfu.

"Brother, I suspect that I have played it, and there has been no news for the three days that Secretary Lu promised. It is estimated that the factory has to be moved. ”

"No, Secretary Lu doesn't look like a leader who talks in the vernacular, and you also expressed your relevant wishes when you got drunk and we toasted later. Especially Secretary Shi, holding a wine glass, begged Secretary Lu to find a way to leave the factory, he was really dedicated to the villagers. ”

"Oh, Brother Shi, well, I'll ask him to go to the township and ask."

The next day, the head of Shi Village came to deliver water early in the morning, and Yang Liufang asked him to go to the township to ask Secretary Lu if there was any result in coordinating the land, because it was not a way to keep the goods so open, and the spring rain and sandstorm were coming. Yantan can't be delayed again and again.

Secretary Shi went to the township to inquire on the same day, and the staff of the office told him that Secretary Lu was not there and went to the city for a meeting. Went again the next day, same reply. I went to the secretary again on Saturday and still didn't come back.

Secretary Shi came back and told Yang Liufang about the situation. Yang Liufang wondered if Secretary Lu was deliberately avoiding them, or why would he keep holding meetings?

On Monday, all the office furniture custom-made in Hongtuzhuang was ready, and Yang Liufang asked Qin Jiajun to drive the furniture away. Because he was concerned about the land of the tannery that had been settled a year ago, Yang Liufang himself went with the car.

When they arrived at the Hongtuzhuang Village Committee, it was Accountant Li who received them, asked the secretary, said that he was a representative of the National People's Congress, and went to the city to hold a preparatory meeting. Yang Liufang asked Shi Fang Shi Yong to lead the workers to load, unload and assemble furniture, and he and Accountant Li drank tea in the accounting room.

Only then did Yang Liufang understand that Secretary Lu had gone to the city to hold a preparatory meeting before the departure of the two sessions. He had read the People's Daily, and these days it has been reporting on the newsletters of deputies from all over the country. Since 1985, the two sessions have been scheduled to be held in March. The two talked about some land issues again, and Accountant Li took him to see a piece of land, a small river ditch leads directly to Zhaoma Gou, and in front of the door is the road leading to the river beach, and the factory is simply excellent.

"How big is that?"

"Almost five acres."

"It's small, can I have more batches?" Yang Liufang learned smart this time, whether he needs to finish it or not, he has to come down first, and then say, in case he encounters such a municipal plan as road construction again, and there is a situation where the land is not approved, it will not be as embarrassed as the furniture factory now.

"Then you'll have to drive it yourself and level out the hills behind you."

"It means that these hills in the back are also ownerless land to be contracted?"

"Yes, you can't cultivate here except for terraces. We keep it for digging earth and burning bricks. ”

"How many acres are in this hill?"

"I haven't measured it, it's estimated that there must be two or three hundred acres."

"Then if I contract this together, how will I be charged?"

"This will have to wait for the secretary to come back."

"Okay, Brother Li, then you have to work hard, I will contract it at the right price, you should dig and dig the soil, I will stay away from you, plant the tree first, the factory will develop slowly, and the tree will become a tree, and it will not affect you to take soil and burn bricks, and you will get more in one fell swoop." Yang Liufang said this, but in his heart he had another idea, if the land in Shibi Village could not be approved, he would directly build a warehouse and a furniture processing factory here.

"Okay, then I'll report to him when the secretary comes back."

"Well, what is your sister-in-law doing now?"

"Aren't you waiting for your news at home?"

"In this way, you let her go to Xizhou tomorrow, first go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to follow us to learn accounting and financial management, and when she finishes learning, our factory will also be opened, and then let her come back to work directly, and be responsible for financial work."

"Ah, Boss Yang, how can I thank you! That's a good thing. ”

"Ouch, Brother Li, you're welcome. Your brother should help you solve some problems within your ability. ”

When the two went back, Yang Liufang directly called the supply and marketing cooperatives on the phone of the village committee and told Li Tongfugang and Accountant Li that they were optimistic about more than 300 acres of hilly land in Hongtuzhuang and were ready to take it down. In addition, I told the matter of Li's sister-in-law who graduated from the secondary school.

"We'd definitely welcome her to come to work first, but how do we arrange for her to stay? You can't run back and forth, can you? ”

This allowed her to stay in the finance room for the time being. I think it's only two or three months. We're going to open a factory here. You slowly get out of the counter to sell goods, and let Accountant Li, the sister-in-law, cooperate with you to contact the ranch and some manufacturers who need leather. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Yanhua after a while. Don't worry about the tannery, do you remember the herdsman from Qinghai who drank wine that year? We are in touch with his herdsmen friends to ensure that our sheepskin and yak hides are uninterrupted. ”

"Is there any news from Secretary Lu?"

"Not yet, I'm coming to Hongtuzhuang to deliver goods, and the secretary is going to hold a preparatory meeting for the representatives of the two sessions, and I think Secretary Lu is probably going to the meeting too. Wait. Besides, we already have these 300 acres of land to lay the foundation, which is much more practical. ”

"Okay, oops, that's great." I could hear Li Tongfu's incoherent excitement on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Tongfu and Yanhua told her to find a subordinate, come here to study for three months, and then send her to the tannery as a cashier in the factory. These days, Yanhua is tired, I thought that the finances were very easy, and I was much more tired than selling goods. And Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu were anxious about the factory land, and she didn't dare to mention that they were recruiting. Now a man was sent, even though it was only three months, and he still couldn't ask for it.

The next day, Accountant Li sent her sister-in-law to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and after solving this problem, Accountant Li's status in his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house was instantly improved, and they didn't expect that their uncle, a village accountant, could actually get their daughter into the supply and marketing cooperative. In the future, he will also work as an accountant in a tannery in a neighboring village. And Accountant Li also shouted at Yang Liufang and them even harder, and the matter of more than 300 acres of wasteland was gradually clarified under his promotion. It was decided before the secretary went to Beijing to attend the two sessions, and even the contract was drawn up, just waiting for Yang Liufang and them to sign the contract and pay the money.

And there is still no news from Secretary Lu's side. Yang Liufang waited anxiously, relying on his memory of the Simmons bed he had seen, while painting, he made Simmons bed with Shi Yong Shifang, but the mattress didn't know how to do it for the time being. This has to wait for Master's call, and when I go to Nanjing to participate in the Simmons Bed Fair in May, I can enter other people's factories to study.

He was anxiously waiting, but Chunyu couldn't wait, Yang Liufang took precautions, and asked Zhang Feng to bring two rolls of plastic sheeting when they came to pull the goods. As soon as the sky was cloudy, Secretary Shi called on the villagers on the radio to cover the goods stacked in the open air in the factory with plastic sheeting, and the men, women and children of the whole village who got the news went into battle to cover all the goods before the rain became heavier.
