"I'm afraid you don't know, Xiaojiang. When I went to the countryside, I was a hardworking, hardworking and open-minded young man. But there's one thing that I've had several disagreements with your grandfather. Can you guess why?"
"I don't know that!" I honestly answer, no longer play smart, deliberately to guess.
"It's because of smoking!"
The old man looked up to the sky, where there are clouds floating by, like white clouds and black dogs, explaining the unpredictability of life.
"When I was a child, everyone's living conditions were not good. As for me, because my family ran a small tobacco business, I was influenced by it and my elders didn't care much about it. I learned to smoke at a young age, and this time I smoked for decades Alas, at that time, Mr. Liang sternly warned me about smoking. He said that traditional Chinese medicine stresses standing first and then serving the people. First of all, we should do a good job in our own health. Only in this way can we do more good things for the people. It's a pity that at that time, I was young and energetic. I couldn't get rid of the bad habit of smoking. Moreover, I had been smoking for decades Well, I'm really ashamed of him. "
I was speechless. In fact, it was because my grandfather died that I began to smoke that I fell into this bad habit.
However, I have never made up my mind to quit smoking, or have no clear idea of that.
The other party's words made us silent again. Of course, we can't smoke any more.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the driver drove a medium-sized van with an ordinary Xijing license plate, and a few of us got on the bus that this topic was revealed.
I ran into sun Yangrou's house at 12 o'clock. It's about the same time for us to drive there.
Beef and mutton steamed bun is a famous food in Northwest China. Not only in Xijing city of Shanxi Province, but also in other cities and provinces, steamed bun restaurants of different scales can be seen everywhere.
Steamed buns in Guantang, steamed buns with mutton, roujiamo, Liangpi and saozi noodles are all famous snacks in Northwest China, and they are very common in the whole of China, especially in northern China.
I guess the main reason why he invited me to eat this is not only to do as the Romans do, but also to remember the mood of that year.
Perhaps only in the face of these snacks with local characteristics can the Secretary of the provincial Party committee abandon his work and identity and return to the role of ordinary people.
I took Chen Qian to wash her hands and told her to wash well.
Chen Qian gave me a white look, "why wash white? It's not to be slaughtered, it's not in..."
"Where is it?" I asked with a smile.
"You are so annoying When do you say you need to be washed Chen Qian's words were so hot that I was defeated immediately.
"Sister Qian, I just want you to wash your hands, not everywhere!"
"You think so, huh!"
They laughed and went back to the appointed private room to sit down. At this time, the old man and others had already sat down and were saying something.
Secretary Xiao Li took a look at me, hesitated a little and said, "boss, the director of the Department of transportation said that he wanted to report to you, you see..."
I picked up Chen Qian and said, "go, sister Qian, I'll show you a place..."
"No, Xiaojiang, you just sit here!"
The old man obviously saw that I wanted to stay away, just to not affect their discussion of work. He said with some displeasure, "now I have not officially taken office, and it's still lunch time. What does he want to do? Is there any sense of organization? Is there any political sensitivity that state cadres should have? What kind of work are you talking about? Do you agree with me? "
Hum a few, "it seems that there are a lot of capable people in Shanxi Province. Some people have already seen my every move, right? It's not safe to eat a meal... "
As a result, no one dares to say anything about such a topic, while Secretary Li's mobile phone keeps ringing during the whole process of eating. It's so busy that he keeps going in and out. It seems that his secretary has suddenly become the busiest official in the world, and even can be called a man with a lot of money.
I sigh in my heart that some officials don't do well in their posts to benefit the people and make a career, but they just stare at the words and deeds of their superiors. I would like to ask these guys, are you still Party cadres and public servants? My sister, I only pay attention to the above trends every day, and spend all my energy in these places. It's strange that I can do a good job in revolutionary work!
Seven or eight calls in a row, until Secretary Li's cell phone directly hit no power, running forehead sweating, this just stopped.
However, in this process, I didn't see a trace of impatience on Secretary Li's face. He always maintained a kind of posture of neither haughty nor humble, with a smile on his face, even though the guys who called didn't see his expression at all.
"Xiaojiang, take care of your little girlfriend. My old man is starving."
As if this scene had never happened, there was almost no need for transition. The master's expression was bright, and he was smiling and peeling sugar and garlic, eating small dishes, and then he started!
Yes, do it!
The so-called steamed bread with beef and mutton is not the kind of steamed bread that many friends who haven't eaten this kind of food think, but a kind of hard baked dead dough cake with a hard shell on the outside.And our customers are going to tear up this kind of dead flour cake one by one, and finally put it into a bowl, and then the waiter will sign it and take it away. According to the customers' order, they will pour soup on it, and finally steam it to heat it.
Many Shanxi people can make beef and mutton steamed bread by themselves, so I think this process is quite clear.
As a matter of fact, this is a flavor snack with pure rural flavor. In the past, people lived in poverty. They could only have a meal of beef and mutton during the Spring Festival, but they didn't dare to eat too much. Making a few pieces of meat flowers and pouring soup on them would be considered as a delicious meal.
In this way, it is impossible to use steamed bread, otherwise it will be soaked into paste!
What's more, eating such a meal to enjoy the sense of taste conveyed by the taste buds is also the second. In the process of tearing the steamed bread with hands, everyone smiles and talks about Zhang's parents and Li's short stories. This is the real enjoyment of eating mutton steamed bread.
My grandfather's favorite food in his life was beef and mutton steamed bun. Every time he took me to a restaurant in the town to eat steamed bun, he would always say, "the process of tearing steamed bun by hand is not just one or two minutes. It's just a matter of temper, so that people who study traditional Chinese medicine can stand loneliness!"
I think the reason why the Secretary of the provincial Party committee specially chose to eat beef and mutton steamed bun is that he must miss my grandfather.
At this time, Chen Qian touched my arm, "Jiang Feng, how big do you want to tear it? What do I think of many guests tearing up and down? "
I laughed, "soybean size, understand?"
"Ah? Are you kidding? "
"Qianmei, do you think I'm joking?"
"Hum, people can't see it. You look so rich on your face. How can I know if you're making a ghost idea when you smile?"
"Well, you don't believe me, but you can ask the waiter, or you can ask the old man directly to see if it needs to be torn so small!"
