Chapter 39 Deputy Director Xu
The village cadres were obviously earlier than her, and each of them put on their best clothes.
Women's Director Yang Suhua also borrowed her daughter's rouge and put two touches of red on her cheeks. Although it looked a little funny at first, this was the highest courtesy she could think of to receive a leader.
"I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes first."
"Okay, Xu Zhiqing, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
After Xu Wanning finished the preparations, she stewed the chicken stewed mushrooms, which took the longest, and then started to prepare other dishes.
At about ten o'clock, she heard a long sound of a car horn, followed by the noisy cheers of children and the welcome of village cadres.
The leaders from Beijing and the city are in place.
Xu Wanning was not that curious, so she only did her job and did not go out to take a look.
A total of four people got off the car. The one walking at the front was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a slicked back hair. He was wearing a leather jacket and a military coat. He obviously underestimated the physical damage of the black province's winter.
Walking behind him was a middle-aged man with a benevolent appearance and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Following him was a young man in his thirties, with his hair meticulously combed and wearing an improved version of the Chinese tunic suit, which made him look straight and tall.
The one walking at the back was a slightly shorter man, holding two briefcases in his hands. He was slightly weaker than the two people walking in the middle.
"Welcome the leaders to visit our Dajiang Village. It's windy outside. Let's go in and have a rest."
The young man raised his eyes and looked around, but did not see the figure he had been thinking about for a long time. Then he lowered his head and talked to the people around him. After whispering, several people entered the brigade headquarters together.
Outside, the villagers gathered together to form a dragon gate formation.
"I heard that these leaders are from big cities. Look at their temperament. They are much better than the captain."
"Who says it's not the case? Especially the youngest guy, he is so handsome. Ah, no one can compare with the young people in our village.
"Not to mention our village, even the educated youth from the city can't compare with them."
The temporarily organized reception room. Here, the captain personally made tea for several people.
When facing these leaders, I couldn't say a single word of the rhetoric I had prepared earlier. I could only keep urging them to drink tea.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
The main thing is that the biggest leaders that the captain and the others have come into contact with are the commune leaders, and these few are from the capital.
The man walking at the back pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "I'll do it." Let me introduce you."
"This is Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Health of China, this is Deputy Director Xu from the Beijing Municipal Food and Drug Administration, and this is Director Sun from the Jiang City Chunhua Food Factory."
" Hello, Minister Zhang, Hello, Deputy Director Xu, Hello, Factory Manager Sun." The team leader and others said hello hurriedly.
After the greetings, Director Sun said with a smile: "Our Chunhua Food Factory is planning to set up a branch factory in a township. No, we finally chose your Dajiang Village. But whether your Dajiang Village has the qualifications to establish a branch factory still needs to be determined. After our inspection."
"This is natural." The captain said hurriedly: "After the leaders have a rest and have something to eat, we will go on an inspection together."
"Don't worry, I have a few before the inspection. I have a question for you."
In the kitchen, Xu Wanning prepared four meat and four vegetarian dishes alone.
Unfortunately, she didn't have enough to eat and didn't have beautiful dishes, so she couldn't arrange the dishes delicately, so she had to use the basins prepared by Accountant Xu in advance to serve the dishes.
It doesn’t look good, but it’s better in quantity.
After finishing her work, Xu Wanning looked at the time. It was 11:40, which was almost dinner time.
But there was still business going on in the living room, so she had no choice but to sit on the stool by the fire in the kitchen and take a nap.
Don't mention it, people who are burning on the stove are lazy and just want to sleep.
Someone pushed her shoulder gently while she was in a trance, and Xu Wanning immediately woke up like a conditioned reflex.
"Xu Zhiqing, it's time to serve."
"Oh, okay." Xu Wanning responded and put all the dishes in the basin: "Director Yang, I have to trouble you to serve the dishes. I am just a cook. No. Let’s go meet some leaders.”
The female director felt that what she said made sense, so she didn’t force her. She ran a few more times and put all the dishes on the table.
When Minister Zhang saw the filled basins and plates, his smiling face suddenly fell.
"It's just a simple meal. Where do you put us with such a big deal?"
"Minister Zhang, our farm dishes are all served in big pots like this. It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. And this The chickens were raised by the brigade headquarters, and we didn’t use much of the pork. We always kept in mind the leader’s instructions and didn’t dare to waste anything.”
Fortunately, the brigade leader listened to Xu Zhiqing’s words and only prepared these few dishes. Otherwise, I'm afraid several leaders would have left angrily before the inspection.
Deputy Director Xu also gave some advice, and Minister Zhang's tone softened slightly.
"Are you sure it won't affect the villagers?"
"Minister Zhang, please don't worry, I'm sure it won't have any impact."
Then Minister Zhang stopped pursuing the matter and started picking up food.
"Looking at the ordinary vermicelli, the taste is indeed extraordinary when stewed like this. There is also this mushroom. Is this a hazel mushroom?"
"Yes, the hazel mushroom is a specialty of our Dajiang Village." The captain said with a smile: "This is still The young people in the village went to the back mountain to pick it. It's fresh."
Minister Zhang picked up another piece of hazelnut mushroom and chewed it carefully, but he already had a plan in his mind.
Deputy Director Xu is more interested in white meat casserole.
He had eaten it several times in Beijing, and almost every chef cooked it with the same taste, but the dish in front of him had a different taste.
He couldn't tell what was different, but he just thought it tasted much better.
He, who never pays attention to his appetite, couldn't help but take a few more bites.
Compared with the concerns of Director Zhang and Accountant Xu, Director Sun was obviously much more comfortable and did not put down his chopsticks from beginning to end.
Until his already big belly became round and bulging.
"Village Chief Lin, did you invite the chef from the state-owned hotel in Hedong Town to cook the food?" Director Sun asked as he leaned back in his chair to catch his breath.
He has eaten in state-owned restaurants in various towns below Jiang City, and to be honest, the taste is average.
"He's not a master chef from a state-owned hotel, he's from our village."
Is there anyone in Dajiang Village with such good cooking skills?
Director Sun didn't believe it.
