It was still afternoon in the river, and the weather was still somewhat chilly.
After Xiao Yi left the Pen Hall, he went straight to Garfield Cat Tu Shanhu's place and met up with his.
Originally, Xiao Yi thought that returning back to the river was just for a holiday and a good rest. However, the appearance of the City Secretary, Tang Ming, was like a fish bone stuck in Xiao Yi's throat.
Towards the City Secretary Tang Ming, Xiao Yi and Garfield communicated for a while.
In the past, when Xiao Yi was not in the river, Tu Shanhu would not dare to touch the Secretary Tang Ming. But, it was different now. With Xiao Yi, this towering tree, supporting the wind and rain, Tu Shanhu did not have any worries. Moreover, in the past few days, the secretary Tang Ming had been suppressing Tu Shanhu to quite a degree. It seemed like he wanted to destroy this power.
Inside the private room of the Foot Health Hall, Xiao Yi and Tu Shanhu had set up a plot and a trap for each other.
When all the discussions were over, Xiao Yi took Tu Shanhu and the other two and drank hot tea, smiling at each other.
Before leaving, Tu Shanhu handed over the key that was even longer than the one used by the Eternal Heaven Lincoln to Xiao Yi, and laughed: "You drive this car, it's better to drive it outside. Big Brother, your identity is indeed impressive. "
Xiao Yi took the car keys, showing his disrespect to Tu Shanhu's good intentions.
After leaving Foot Health Hall, Xiao Yi drove the Lincoln on the road. He was completely refreshed, and after communicating with Tu Shanhu for a while, Xiao Yi was confident and confident.
For the next few days, Xiao Yi drove this Lincoln longer, as if he was going to visit an old friend. From his appearance, Xiao Yi seemed to be revisiting his home.
Similarly, in these few days, Tang Ming began to deal with Xiao Yi in secret. However, they were just small fries. Some of the related departments would check them out and find out if there were any problems with them before sending some money over.
The Pen Hall had cooperated with the related departments, causing everyone to be shocked.
The entire river was calm and tranquil.
Pen Hall had already closed for the coming New Year.
Everything was so calm that it was unusual. In fact, there was no one taking a stroll on the street in front of the Pen Hall.
The Pen Hall had already been forgotten. The open rivalry and covert battles between Secretary Tang and Xiao Yi were not as intense as people had imagined. Xiao Yi always paid visits to his old friends before returning to the villa to tease his lovely wife and train the little loli.
On this day, the entire sea of the river radiated boundless sunlight.
The warm winter sun finally made the river a little more lively.
However, Xiao Yi was accompanying the little loli Bai Jiaoniang in cleaning the house. Like a good man at home, An Xin was preparing for the new year.
And on this afternoon, the Night River Sea Hotel gathered all the important people of Jianghai Merchant Jia Zheng. Because today was the fortieth birthday of Jianghai City's bureau chief, Lu Haiyang.
As the director of Jianghai City, she had been the dominating force in the rivers and seas these years. Some of the merchants had come on their own to celebrate. Of course, the most important thing was to make use of this opportunity to present the Director Lu with some gifts.
In River and Sea Politics, as friends and colleagues, it was almost New Year's and everyone had time to get together.
The most important thing was Tang Ming as the new secretary of the city committee. For so long, he had been busy with the affairs of the river and sea. The meeting with these dignitaries of the river and the sea was not long. Now, as the New Year approached, the matter was almost settled. It just so happened that everyone had gathered together to communicate with each other.
Therefore, this time, the Night River Sea Hotel was extremely lively.
The lights were lit, and the sound of music filled the entire hotel.
As night fell, everyone gathered at the Night River Sea Grand Hotel to enjoy the grand occasion.
Director Lu was walking around the tables, his face red and filled with the scent of alcohol. However, there was still a smile on his face. Tonight's Director Lu could be said to be extremely excited.
In another inconspicuous treasure chest in the Night River Sea Hotel, Garfield was currently bringing his brothers to eat and drink to their heart's content. His appearance at Lu Haiyang's birthday banquet did not arouse too many people's attention.
Originally, most of the people present had some sort of relationship with each other at this birthday banquet. There was nothing wrong with Garfield coming to participate in Lu Haiyang's birthday celebration.
Director Lu entered Garfield's private room and gave him a cup of wine as usual. It looked like they had been good friends for years. They raised their cups and drank together.
Then, Garfield sat down casually and took out a bottle of wine from behind him, handing it over to Lu Haiyang: "Director Lu, this is a little gift from brother. This is a bottle of good medicine wine, I got it from a friend. It has the functions of warming up one's bloodline, dispersing medicinal energy, warming the stomach and intestines, dispelling wind and cold, stimulating yang energy, and eliminating fatigue. "
As she said that, she gave the Director Lu a signal with his eyes.
Director Lu squinted his eyes as he nodded with a smile, "Then I'll have to thank Brother Xu. For someone my age, this is definitely a good thing."
The two of them laughed in the private box, then Lu Haiyang took the bottle of medicinal wine and quickly returned to the main battlefield.
Within this private box, were all the important figures within the River and Sea Politics. Secretary Tang was sitting on the seat of honor. Now that he had drunk quite a lot of wine, his face was slightly flushed.
However, even though Secretary Tang looked a little drunk, he was actually quite clear-headed. This kind of official had a mind of his own. He would always maintain a clear mind to prevent himself from failing.
"Secretary Tang, this is a bottle of medicinal wine that I have been collecting for many years. I got it from a friend abroad. It's called the Returning Spring Wine, and I've always been reluctant to drink it. We just happened to bring it over today. Let's drink a little. "" Okay. "" As for Lu Haiyang, he stared at the bottle of medicinal wine called 'Returning Spring Wine' in his hand and unwillingly said: "This wine will extend one's lifespan for a long period of time. The effect of it is not simple, being able to serve the masculinity for a long period of time, having a black beard and hair, looking like a child without spending a glance, constantly taking on a strong body; it will also help one's vital energy and blood, strengthen one's spirit, nourish the kidney and stomach, and lighten the body for a long period of time."
"Is that so?" The secretary Tang Ming looked at the bottle of medicinal wine and laughed as if nothing had happened.
"Of course." At this time, Director Lu spoke with certainty: "This wine is worth quite a bit, but it's good stuff. Come, come, come. Let's not talk anymore. Each of us will drink a little, and taste a little fresh. "
Finished, Bureau Chief Lu Haiyang opened the bottle, and a strong aroma of medicine immediately assaulted his nostrils.
Lu Haiyang still passionately poured a small half of cup for everyone present. In the end, after pouring himself half a cup, he gave it all to the secretary, Tang Ming.
As for the remaining medicinal wine, he just so happened to be able to fill a full cup.
The wine had a dark red tinge to it, and the fragrance of the medicine was especially rich. From the color of the precipitate, it could be seen that this was a bottle of medicinal wine that had been stored for many years.
Just a single sniff was enough to give one a refreshing feeling. He was like a spring breeze, full of vigor and vitality.
Lu Haiyang picked up the cup of medicinal wine and took a small sniff. He opened his mouth and muttered, "This is really good wine. It smells so good. It smells so good." Come, drink, no one is being polite. "
Lu Haiyang then picked up the cup of medicinal wine, and reluctantly took a sip. Only then did he finish it in one gulp.
After the small half cup of medicinal wine entered his stomach, Lu Haiyang's face started to turn red. He let out a long breath and leisurely said, "This is really a rare good wine. As expected, it is not something that ordinary Returning Spring Wine can compare with." "He has been hoarding it for so many years, but now that he has eaten it today, he seems to have become ten years younger."
Hearing Lu Haiyang's laments, his colleagues all picked up their respective cups of wine. imitating Lu Haiyang, he took a small sip. In the end, he drank it all in one gulp.
All the old cunning foxes of the River and Sea Politics at the table all drank this cup of water. All of them let out a long breath. Some of them shook their heads and mumbled, "As expected, it's a good wine. The wine's aroma is strong and the wine's taste is spicy. However, after drinking it, your bones become soft and your tendons become weak, your four bodies become supreme, and you float like an immortal. "
Hearing the discussions, the secretary, Tang Ming, sat on his seat and finally picked up his cup of medicinal wine.
The secretary of the city council, Tang Ming, had always been a frugal and frugal person. He never smoked, never gambled, never whored, and even more so, had no bad habits or hobbies. The only thing about his was that he liked to drink. However, even if he was drinking, Tang Ming would never really get drunk, and he would maintain a seventy to eighty percent consciousness.
Now, he lifted up the cup of what was known as the Returning Spring Wine and took a small sniff through his nose.
Tang Ming was a person who understood alcohol, so he had some understanding towards the common sense of medicinal wine. The medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose, and Tang Ming muttered in his heart: Big Yellow, Bai Shi, Gui Zhi Zun, Jie Duo, Fangfeng, Shan Jiao, Aconite, Aconite …
Tang Ming was able to recognize most of the ingredients of this medicinal wine.
At that moment, he recognized the medicinal wine's composition. It was indeed a normal medicinal herb. When they saw these political officials again, after they had drunk their fill, their faces were full of glory and they were full of praise.
Although Tang Ming was cautious, he believed that he knew all about medicine and wine. Ye Zichen swirled the dark red medicinal wine in front of him and took a sip. It was indeed as spicy as they said.
However, after drinking it all in one gulp.
Tang Ming felt that his entire body was extremely comfortable, and there was a kind of lazy feeling in his muscles and bones. It was as if his entire body had suddenly become weightless.
He was in a much better mental state. A warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, as well as his internal organs.
"Good wine. Indeed, good wine." Tang Ming nodded his head, and praised: "This kind of medicinal wine, although I don't know what it is made of, it does have the effect of nourishing the body. I wonder if Director Lu has a prescription? If we had a recipe, we could make it ourselves. "
