Another purpose of holding that welcome party is to stagger the meal times of other staff members.
At this time, the cafeteria had been cleaned up and there were no outsiders.
The three large round tables were set with bowls and chopsticks.
Logically speaking, by the time the leaders arrive, several main dishes should have been served.
However, the table seemed very empty at this time. Although the plate was a bit bigger, there were only four dishes and one soup.
Three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, a pot of soup, and a large bowl of rice.
Pang Ming reacted quickly. He leaned over to take a look at the plate of meat and found that it was braised roe deer meat. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Ye and Director Qiao looked unhappy when they heard Pang Ming bragging just now, but now they relaxed their brows.
Director Ye smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I heard someone say that it's popular among the comrades below to eat and drink a lot. I was a little worried when I heard what you said, Lao Pang.
That's right. In our province, the most we serve when receiving leaders is four dishes and one soup.
Don’t eat roe deer meat anymore.
We are here to work, not to worry about the bells and whistles.”
After hearing this, Pang Ming's anger instantly disappeared.
He could naturally guess who had changed the specifications of the lunch reception.
I thought that Xiao Xie had just returned from the provincial government, and he must have found out the preferences of the provincial leaders, so he deliberately changed the meal to four dishes and one soup.
This can be considered as Xie Wan helping him escape a disaster, so he naturally would not blame Xie Wan for making the decision on his own.
But in fact, Xie Wan was still a little dissatisfied when he saw the three plates of meat dishes.
But I also know that I shouldn’t be too harsh on the canteen.
After all, the canteen had prepared some dishes in advance, so there was nothing wrong with serving them as is.
But this is still far from her original intention.
She originally wanted to let the leaders feel how poor An County is.
So, she said, "Director Ye, we don't usually have such a high standard of dining in An County.
Isn’t this because you know that there will be foreign guests today?
County Magistrate Pang also hopes to let foreign guests taste the characteristics of An County and fulfill his duty as a host."
With her making up for it, the whole thing became more complete.
Director Ye and Director Qiao both praised Pang Ming for his thoughtfulness. Pang Ming became even happier and nodded at Xie Wan to show that he appreciated her kindness.
Xie Wan really hoped to have a good relationship with the members of the team, and he grinned.
The meal was eaten quickly and refreshingly. No one suggested drinking, and everyone looked like they were focusing on work.
After dinner, Chen Baoluo suggested going to the countryside immediately.
Xie Wan asked her leaders and said that she could take Mr. Chen and the people from Chunfutang and set off first.
It’s okay for leaders to take a break and set off later to catch up.
Director Ye and Director Qiao had already felt much better after taking the medicine given by Xie Wan. After finishing their meal, they felt their strength and spirits had been restored, and said they did not need to go back to the guesthouse to rest, and could leave immediately.
Luo Yaohui arrived late and did not take his medicine, so he actually had no appetite even when eating.
But he couldn't say that he wanted to rest before leaving, so he gritted his teeth and said that he could leave immediately.
So, a large group of people, a total of eight cars, set off towards the Yulong Commune near the mountains.
Xu Bing drove the police car in front to lead the way. An hour later, they arrived at Yulong Commune and parked the car on the dam outside the commune office.
Xie Wan got off the car and said to the leaders, "If we go further, we will enter the mountains. Let's take a look at the nearby Yulong Brigade first."
Although the one-hour journey just now was not as bumpy as the road from Nancheng to Anxian, it was still not easy to walk on because it was all muddy.
The leaders were very willing to get on the bus and take a walk.
The director of Yulong Commune received a call an hour ago and learned that a leader was coming to visit and inspect.
There was no chance to prepare at all.
This is exactly the kind of surprise effect that Xie Wan wanted.
It is now October, the season when late rice matures. Seeing the fields of ripe rice makes people feel happy.
Xie Wan asked the captain of the Yulong Brigade who came over: "These rices look full of grain. When can we harvest them?"
The team leader said, "There are still about three days left. Actually, we can harvest now, but the weather is pretty good recently. Wait three days and the grains will be fuller."
Xie Wan asked again: "How much is your yield per acre?"
The team leader said: "Last year we only harvested less than 110 kilograms. This year the weather is better, so we should be able to harvest an extra 10 kilograms."
Xie Wan frowned. She actually already knew the per-acre yield of late rice in An County and asked this question on purpose.
She said: "I heard that other places have used hybrid seeds and have achieved an output of more than 200 kilograms per mu. Aren't we using new seeds here?"
The team leader began to complain: "We heard on the radio that other places can harvest 200 kilograms. We also went to the seed company to ask about the new grain varieties. The seed company said that the new grain varieties will be concentrated in those rich areas, not in An County."
Xie Wan pretended not to know about this, and told the captain the truth in front of Director Qiao: "Nonsense, you definitely didn't inquire carefully.
These new grain varieties are allocated according to plans from above.
An County is a large agricultural county, so they will definitely allocate some to us.”
The captain thought that the new deputy county chief was criticizing him for not doing his job well, so he complained: "Xie County Chief, you are wrongly accusing me.
If there are seeds that can produce more grain, how could the old man not try his best to find them?
If the seed company says there is no such thing, then they really don’t have it.
Our An County has good soil and a good climate. If we can have new grain varieties, we can harvest twice as much grain and we won’t be so poor.”
