Chapter 2300: Baiweiju
Su Xinghui picked up the noodle bowl and said: "It's okay, Auntie, no need to remake them, they're fine just like this."
Su Xinghui ate big mouthfuls, and Lu Xiaoya also picked up her noodle bowl and started eating. Such a bowl of fish noodles with extra toppings was worth a lot, and the old lady wouldn't take money, so they naturally couldn't let the old lady remake two bowls of noodles; that would be too wasteful.
Before long, Su Xinghui finished the bowl of fish noodles, but Lu Xiaoya had only eaten half when she showed a look of difficulty. The portion of this bowl of noodles was too large, and she really couldn't eat it anymore. How could a woman finish such a large bowl of noodles?
Seeing Lu Xiaoya's expression, the old lady smiled and said: "If you can't finish it, just leave it there."
Lu Xiaoya said: "This is too wasteful. I was hungry just now and thought I could finish it."
The old lady asked: "Is the noodle not good?"
Lu Xiaoya shook her head and said: "No, this noodle is extremely delicious, too fresh."
These noodles were made by grinding silver fish into powder and rolling them with flour, then adding bone broth, daylily, and lean meat stir-fried toppings. Naturally, it was incomparably delicious, and Lu Xiaoya indeed felt it was delicious.
The old lady said: "You are a girl, it's normal that you can't eat so much. It's okay, just leave it there."
Su Xinghui poured the noodles Lu Xiaoya hadn't finished into his own bowl and said: "This can't be wasted, I'll eat it."
Su Xinghui, a big guy over 1.8 meters tall, couldn't get full from one bowl of noodles. It was just right to eat the half bowl of Lu Xiaoya's noodles to avoid waste.
Su Xinghui didn't even frown and slurped up the half bowl of noodles clean. Only then was he 80% full.
It didn't matter that he ate this half bowl of noodles, but the onlookers nearby all widened their eyes. In their imagination, how big an official was a County Magistrate? It was already incredible that he could come here to eat noodles, but he actually ate his wife's leftover noodles just to avoid waste. This was truly beyond their imagination.
However, precisely because of this, Su Xinghui immediately gained everyone's sincere love and respect. Only such a County Magistrate could be called the "parent official" of the people, right?
Seeing Su Xinghui finish, everyone gathered around and started chatting with Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui didn't have any airs at all. He smiled and chatted with everyone one by one, asking about their situation, their work, their lives, and what expectations they had for the county government.
Su Xinghui paid great attention to observing the people's feelings. By the time he became a high-level cadre in the future, he might rarely have such opportunities to observe the people's feelings, but now he was just a County Magistrate, so he would often go to the grassroots to observe the people's feelings. Today was a good opportunity to observe the people's feelings.
Last year, due to important work such as flood fighting and rescue, returning farmland to the lake, etc., Su Xinghui went to the countryside more often and walked less in the county seat, so he listened very seriously to everyone's requests today.
Everyone was generally very satisfied with the county government's work last year, but there were always opinions and requests.
Some people complained that the staff of some functional departments had some attitude problems. Every time they went to handle things, the staff's faces were relatively ugly, and their attitudes were very bad.
However, when Su Xinghui asked them which specific departments and people these were, they wouldn't say, not knowing if they were afraid of offending people or if they were too kind. ===== CHAPTER 2302 =====
