Unfortunately, Secretary Fan did not show any other expression and was chatting cordially with the villagers.
For someone at his level, leading a conversation is a piece of cake.
After their initial shock, the villagers slowly started talking.
They praised their cadre Huo in every word and thanked the leader for sending him down.
Many leaders who were unaware of the situation thought that they were going too far. Secretary Fan didn't seem to care and even clinked glasses with a villager who had the courage to invite him for a drink.
Dozens of families were scattered in the forest bays and hilltops. The group walked along the rugged dirt road and visited four or five families. When they returned to the village committee, it was almost one o'clock.
The small canteen had already been prepared with two dishes of meat, two dishes of vegetables, and a soup.
The two leaders of the town were stunned when they saw this. They didn't expect that Huo Qianli would dare to put it up like this. Although the meat and vegetable ingredients were all carefully selected and cooked, it was really bold to entertain high-ranking city officials at this level.
Zheng Qianghan has already come down. Whether the conditions are right or not is another matter, but the attitude is a big problem!
But in this situation, he didn't dare to go up and remind them.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Fan was actually quite happy. When Huo Qianli said that he would pay for a meal for all the leaders, he did not refuse. He really let Huo Qianli pay the ten yuan meal money for him and all the guests.
Don't underestimate these ten dollars. Even if it's a small amount, it's enough to treat a senior city official to a meal.
Moreover, the city's senior officials were willing to let him treat them with just such a measly ten dollars, which made it even more meaningful.
The rest of the people were not so blind as to insist on giving money, and they all accepted Huo Qianli's "kindness of a meal".
This is a shallow kind of relationship, not strong, but it is the lead to a better relationship in the future, the lead that many people seek but cannot obtain.
The crowd gathered around two tables, each digging into the rice in their bowls. It looked quite funny, but many people felt that, speaking of eating alone, it was more enjoyable to eat this way.
After dinner, the village woman who was the head chef in the canteen today came over wearing her chef's uniform, served each of the leaders a bowl of soup and brought it to them.
Secretary Fan smiled and said, "Your meal is delicious!"
The woman smiled and said, "It's just plain food, you officials shouldn't despise it!"
Secretary Fan waved his hand and said, "When I was an educated youth, I often ate sweet potato porridge in the countryside. It was actually sweet potato porridge boiled in water with a few grains of rice, and some dried pickles. If the dried pickles could be fried with a little oil, it would be delicious."
He pointed to the plate in front of him and said, "Just now, we also looked at what the villagers had on their tables, and what we are eating now. These delicious foods are a vivid display of the development of our business, and do not need too many words to embellish them."
Everyone applauded.
Secretary Fan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Eat well, why are you clapping? Don't talk while eating or sleeping, blame me, everyone continue!"
After the meal, they had a bowl of delicious soup, wiped their greasy mouths, and walked out of the canteen with satisfaction.
Huo Qianli asked if he wanted to take a lunch break, but Secretary Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's do our work first and sleep on the way!"
So everyone went to see the medicinal fields again. Although many people had seen special films or documentaries about Hushan Village before coming, watching it on TV and being there in person are really two different feelings.
When standing on this rolling hilly mountain area, looking at the endless expanse of land that can only be seen on the plains, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Secretary Fan nodded and said, "Putting the pieces together, a great temple can be built from a snail shell. Comrade Xiao Huo, you are good, and Hushan Village is also very good."
This was the first time today that he had clearly stated his attitude, which made Zheng Qiang and others breathe a sigh of relief.
A leader who was traveling with us said with a smile: "It's just that these plots of land are separated by houses. If there were no houses, it would look even more spectacular."
"Haha, how can we live without a house? We can't just focus on the grandeur!"
Everyone was joking, but Huo Qianli looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Then Huo Qianli, Gu Daqiang and Tang Yuxuan, who had been waiting in the field for a long time, introduced the situation and experience of the Hushan Village Cooperative to the leaders.
After listening to this, Secretary Fan turned around and looked at the people traveling with him. "When we go back, we need to dissect the sparrow of Hushan Village and extract experiences that can be promoted and replicated throughout the city."
The relevant city leaders who came with them all nodded and said a few words.
After visiting the medicinal fields, everyone walked along the road out of Hushan Village which was about to be built.
Of course, due to time constraints, they only walked to a hill. Looking at the winding mountain road, Li Qiao smiled and said, "This was the idea of comrade Guo Haoran from our county committee. We were all struggling with the high cost of road construction from Qianfu Town. I didn't expect him to be so familiar with the topography of the county and find another way. He enlightened us with one word."
Secretary Fan smiled and said, "This comrade has a very open mind in his work by grasping the main contradiction!"
Li Qiao didn't say anything else, nor did he mention that Guo Haoran and Huo Qianli were schoolmates. Some things should be mentioned in moderation; it is not good to overdo it.
Standing on this hilltop, everyone turned around and looked at Hushan Village. Li Qiao introduced in detail to Secretary Fan the three-phase plan of the industrial park and the specific content of the first phase of construction.
Compared to looking at drawings or just chatting in the office, everyone who was there had a more intuitive impression when listening to Li Qiao's talk.
Secretary Fan nodded silently but did not express his opinion.
After the discussion here, everyone walked back to the village committee together.
The time has quietly come to four o'clock in the afternoon.
Not surprisingly, in front of the village committee office, Secretary Fan solemnly handed a gold plaque to Gu Daqiang. Leaders standing on both sides applauded and smiled. Liu Xiaoyu, members of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, the County Party Committee Propaganda Department, Wang Wei and others clicked their shutters to record another milestone moment for Hushan Village.
