Chapter 673 Extravagance and Waste, Inspection Work, and Clever Response (2/2)



Gu Yunyang brought in a large plate of rice. Goodness, although it was a two-in-one rice dish with some sweet potato in it, it was just a layer on top.

You should know that in ordinary households in the Hongqi Brigade, the rice they made in the combined cooking method was so fine that you could count the grains of rice.

Then came the dishes, and what a sight it was! A whole table full of food, more than half of it was meat.

Gu Yunyang immediately knew what was going on when he sensed the tense atmosphere.

Actually, it's also troublesome to serve guests downstairs.

If we don't prepare meat dishes, the commune will definitely blame us.

We're all ready; Mayor Chu and the others are going to blame us again.

Nowadays, cadres also advocate thrift and frugality.

Gu Yunyang wasn't worried at all, and quickly greeted with a smile, "Chief Chu, please bring your people over quickly."

I'm telling you, this is part of your evaluation of our work.

This stewed mutton, the stir-fried rabbit with chili peppers, and the cured beef over there were all brought back by our hunting team a few days ago.

The braised pork, garlic pork belly, and salt and pepper ribs here are dishes I made myself. I just received my writing fee and was planning to buy them to celebrate.

The rest are what the team prepared.

Upon hearing this, the team breathed a sigh of relief.

So, all the meat dishes have a history.

What's left are just vegetables, right?

The brigade also prepared vegetarian dishes.

Mayor Chu's expression softened slightly. He knew perfectly well that when he led the team down for research, the people in charge of hospitality had to be extremely careful.

Why not prepare two more meat dishes?

The commune will definitely blame them.

He just really didn't want to be too extravagant, so he didn't want to go down to conduct research easily.

He deliberately didn't give us advance notice today, only informing us when we were about to leave.

There are also ideas to prevent such a situation from happening.

I just didn't expect it to happen.

After sitting down, Chief Chu looked at the bowl of rice. When serving the rice, he had given extra sweet potatoes and less rice.

Curious, he asked, "You mean royalties?"

Gu Hanping couldn't beat Hao Jianshe in the competition. Hao Jianshe said with great interest, "Chief Chu, you don't know."

Our Secretary Gu is quite talented.

In the capital city, and on trains heading south, they provided a lot of help to our public security and military departments.

Then she submitted articles to the Youth Daily and the Women's Daily, and many of her articles were published.

It's said that the monthly royalties are no less than one hundred yuan.

As for how much the royalties would be, Hao Jianshe wasn't quite sure either.

It's impolite to ask about that.

Mayor Chu was somewhat surprised: "It seems that our Secretary Gu is both a scholar and a warrior, capable in both official and domestic affairs, able to fight on horseback and govern the country, bringing peace and stability to the nation."

That's quite an exaggeration.

But after thinking about it for a while, everyone realized that what Mayor Chu said seemed to make a lot of sense.

"Come, Chief Chu, have a taste. This is a braised pork recipe I heard about. It includes chili peppers and dried plum vegetables. The taste is a bit different from the authentic braised pork, but it should still be quite good. I'll let you in on a secret: I just ate a bowl of rice in the kitchen."

This playful demeanor left Chief Chu somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

However, as an elder, he felt gratified to see such youthful actions.

"Come on, everyone, let's eat together. Hmm? This tastes..."

...

At this time, no one had gone back to the fields outside.

During the summer harvest, people would definitely eat in the fields, on the ridges between the fields, or under the trees.

"This smells amazing!"

"What delicious food are they making at the brigade headquarters?"
