Chapter 71: Little by little

Jinfu is a well-known private restaurant within the Second Ring Road. However, this private restaurant is slightly different from other private restaurants. The taste is more important than the southwestern cuisine. It adheres to the Sichuan cuisine style and draws on the styles of An, Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan. In addition, the architecture also adopts a southern style shape, which is quite stylish.

It is said that the owner is from Anyuan, but he grew up in Sichuan Province and has a culinary background. He has been wandering in Yunnan and Guizhou Province for many years. He also gained a lot of inspiration from it. He opened this Jinfu in this capital only after he was over fifty years old. He specialized in the southwest-style private dishes and was praised by guests from He'an and Hunan provinces in the southwest.

Although Zhao Guodong invited colleagues from all over the department at home, many people still did not come for one reason or another. However, the two deputy directors and several directors in the department were very polite. They all came, and some young people also accepted the invitation with great enthusiasm.

Deputy Director Chu Hongsheng was the first old man to come from the State Planning Commission. He was 45 or 46 years old, with a pair of black-edged and wide-framed glasses, his hair was meticulously combed, and his slightly thin cheeks, and he really had a scholarly demeanor. After the director of the Planning Commission came to the Ministry of Energy, he was promoted to the deputy director of the Planning and Development Department. He was also considered a veteran of the founding department of the Planning and Development Department. He spoke in a strong Beijing accent. Although he was from Tianjin, he did not have the wit and humor of Tianjin Wei people.

Compared to Chu Hong's birth, another deputy director Xie Ke was more like a businessman. He was just in his early forties, and his precious hair was carefully covered by his head. His round face was always smiling. In addition, his round and swollen abdomen was tied by a belt that was probably stretched out at least a few holes. In addition, his extremely cheerful personality is very popular in the department.

Xie Ke was transferred from the deputy director of the Coal Department last year. It is said that he has always hoped to take over the position of director. Zhao Guodong didn't know whether his fall from the sky would disappoint the deputy director, but at least during the contact, he did not feel how much hostility the other party was towards him.

The fresh and spicy taste of the private dishes in Jinfu and the sufficient alcohol content of the 20-year-old mellow sanyuanhong quickly made the atmosphere of the two tables lively. Zhao Guodong also felt that when he arrived in the dry areas of the north, it seemed that the alcohol content would increase. He could drink one pound in Andu and one and a half pound in Beijing. I don’t know if this is due to the climate, water and soil. In short, the wine was particularly good compared to when he was in Andu.

"Come on, everyone, try the rolling soup loach. This thing is rare in the north. There are a little more thorns, but the meat tastes delicate and is said to be no less than that of the giant salamander of the protective animal." Zhao Guodong especially likes to eat loach, especially this kind of thick loach. He added enough chili and pickled ginger and pickled pepper. He had already fried with hot oil, which was enough to make people swallow their tongues into their stomachs.

"Director Zhao has tasted the smell of giant salamander?" Chu Hongsheng's face showed a curious expression.

"That's a national protected animal. I haven't had a chance to taste it. It's just that some people use this metaphor." Zhao Guodong shook his head, "But I believe that if this loach is ready, it will definitely not be inferior to any animal's meat. Especially when cooking with these special seasonings, it's even more delicious. If you come to try it, you will know that I'm true."

"Yes, how could Director Zhao violate the law and eat state-protected animals? The question Lao Chu asked is also, Director Zhao is just an example." Xie Ke took the lead in picking up a chopstick of oily loach, but the bright and hot red pickled pepper made these northerners feel a little angry, but when he saw Zhao Guodong's expectant gaze, the crowd could only bite the bullet and move the chopsticks one after another.

While shouting that he was so spicy, he praised the delicious taste. Two bowls of rolling loaches were served with Qingnong, which immediately caused a burst of sighs on the dining table.

Chunjiao Sanyuanhong is said to be an old wine with a history of 20 years, and its price is even higher than Wuliangye and Jiuguijiu. It has always been the highest reception wine in Anyuan Province. Although it is not as famous as Maotai and Wuliangye in the country, its reputation is well-deserved among the top ten famous wines.

Especially in recent years, Pennsylvania Sanyuanhong Group has focused on building the image of high-end wine. Chunjiao has launched new products in the 20th year, which has set off a whirlwind in the national high-end wine market, and even overwhelmed Maotai and Wuliangye, which were originally above Sanyuanhong. It is quite popular among people who like strong-flavored liquors. However, Zhao Guodong knew that the so-called 20-year vintage wine is also a gimmick. If a jar of wine really needs to be stored for twenty years, I am afraid that if the current price is multiplied by one hundred, I may not be able to buy a bottle.

Although Zhao Guodong was not very interested in wine, it is undeniable that Sanyuan Red 20 Years of Chunjiao still surprised the colleagues who like wine in the Sili. The taste of Chunjiao 20 Years of Chunjiao does have a unique richness, making the atmosphere at the banquet more harmonious and warm.

Most of the people in Sili are northerners, but there are not many people in the capital who are truly born and raised. Instead, there are many people in Lu and Qin provinces.

Zhao Guodong's generous and easy-goingness and the power of alcohol quickly narrowed the distance. Zhao Guodong also knew that this was just a creation of an atmosphere that was more suitable for contact. If he really wanted to win the recognition and respect of these people, he had to gradually gain it through work bit by bit.

"Director Zhao, it's good that you're here. Our department has always had a lot of workload and has faced many problems. Although there are many people in the department, our transportation has always been inconvenient. The former Director Zhang had sent a few reports to the department last year and asked to add transportation to the department, but the department has not approved it, and there is no sound this year." The person who spoke was a deputy director, who seemed to be almost the same, with a flushed face, but he was very excited.

"Oh? Is our department still short of transportation?" Zhao Guodong really didn't expect that the Tangtang Planning and Development Department would still short of automobiles.

"Hey, Director Zhao, you don't know. You are afraid you won't believe this after saying it? The Planning and Development Department sometimes has no car use, and you have to take a taxi, which is a joke." Another director also answered, "There are more than 30 people in the department. The business has to face the General Office of the State Council, the Planning and Development Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and other ministries and commissions, and they have to deal with the Beijing offices of various provinces and cities. But there are only five cars in the department. In addition to these four cars, you also want to use cars, so you get called by the General Office of the Ministry. I didn't see the people in the department. The eyes were like looking at someone. I thought that our Planning and Development Department would be useless. I didn't think that there was a Hai Qingtian who was clearer than Hai Rui, staring there, and who would dare to offend him?"

Zhao Guodong knew who the Director of the Gu surname refers to Hai Rui Hai Qingtian. Hai Qingshan, the head of the Ministry’s Discipline Inspection Group, is an old discipline inspection officer who came from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. It is said that he is selfless and harsh. Many people in the Ministry said in private that he only cares about flies and not kills tigers. The implication is that he only cares about the ministry’s organs, but he cannot control the directly affiliated enterprises under the jurisdiction of the ministry.

However, in this case, Zhao Guodong didn't make much comments. After all, he was a newcomer and the situation was not clear. He had to consider the depth of the water here, so he just raised his glass with a smile, but said nothing more.

"Director Zhao, what Lao Gu said is true. Although the department has fewer cars than now, everyone knows at that time that the companies below are not subject to much restrictions on buying cars. We can also benefit from some of them. The cars they use are not only used by them to make a few cars for each department in the department, and everyone can still do their jobs. But now, this year, the upper department has bought a lot of cars in the upper department, but there are too many monks and less porridge. These twenty cars are divided into each department, and there are only one or two of them. Now the department has repeatedly ordered that they do not allow them to borrow vehicles outside. Now, the department can't even get the car in the department."

The one who followed the conversation was Xie Ke. He was also very angry about this. There were few cars in the Sili, and Santana brought by three units from the State Economic and Trade Commission when they split up. Two 2000 models, one POSSION, and one Passat and one Accord. There have been many troubles about whoever uses this Accord car.

Passat is the director's car, and there is nothing to say. The Accord is placed in the comprehensive office with other cars. It is not clear who is holding and using it first, but neither of them is willing to use the Santana 2000. It is not that the Accord is better than using it, but it seems that both of them have a consistent view, as if someone uses the Santana 2000, it is equivalent to self-destruction. This matter has made everyone very unhappy.

Lao Chu's mind is not ordinary. Xie Ke originally wanted to give in, but then he thought that once you give in, some things may become a common thing, and it really deserves to be used.

The two of them have been suing each other a lot of belly lawsuits for this matter, and they think it is ridiculous, but the directors are cheap. No one uses Santana 2,000, so they are happy to be convenient for them.

Seeing Xie Ke as a guy, everyone looked at him. Zhao Guodong knew that if he still didn't say anything, it would inevitably make people feel too pretentious, so he could only pretend to ponder for a while.

"After talking about this, I also feel that our department has a lot of things, especially if we need to contact outside units. It is not convenient to have no cars. It is also a good thing for the department to not borrow cars. It is also a good thing for us to get short. Although borrowing a car is not a big deal, it is originally for business, but once this starts, the department will be in chaos, so we have to understand it. However, the department has tied the hole tightly, but the main door must be opened enough. The insufficient means of transportation will affect our work efficiency. The department should also understand this. I have to report to Minister Yang that we are actually in trouble."

Everyone said it was.
