Chapter 4046

Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian was Su Xinghui's partner back then and could be considered Su Xinghui's leader. However, now, his status with Su Xinghui had reversed. Su Xinghui was already high in the position of mayor. Although Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian was the party secretary, Shangxian was only a county-level city, and his level was only a deputy-department-level cadre, which had already opened a gap with Su Xinghui.

Therefore, Su Xinghui didn't drink, and of course, Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian couldn't force Su Xinghui.

It was Fang Youcai who was in a hurry. He said, "Mayor Su, how can you not drink? It's not easy to come back once after so many years, you must drink a few cups!"

Su Xinghui said with a smile, "Secretary Fang, I'm really not putting on airs. I really have special reasons for not being able to drink. Next time you go to our Linshan, or I return to Shangxian, I will definitely drink a few cups with you. Secretary Qi, you are the same. Next time you go to our Linshan, let's drink a few cups!"

Su Xinghui's words were very sincere, which made Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian feel much more comfortable. Only then did he believe that Su Xinghui was not putting on airs. He said with a smile, "Then if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to your Linshan."

Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian was indeed a bit worried at first, worried that after so many years, Su Xinghui's status was different from the past, and whether he would put on airs in front of him. However, by now, he was relieved and began to talk and laugh with Su Xinghui.

Other city leaders also paid their respects to Su Xinghui one by one. Many of them were cadres in Shangxian County back then, and some of them knew Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui could still call their names one by one, which made them feel a bit flattered.

The current Su Xinghui was not only the youngest mayor in the country, but his background was even more amazing, which made these leaders want to have a good relationship with Su Xinghui.

And Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian's mood was even more complicated. Over a dozen years ago, he was the party secretary of Pengjiawanzhen, and at that time, he was even a member of the county party committee. However, over a dozen years later, Su Xinghui was already a mayor, and he was still a Shangxian City Fang Zhishu and concurrently a Standing Committee member of the Yulin City Party Committee, which was already several steps behind Su Xinghui.

Therefore, Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian's heart was somewhat unbalanced. In fact, his political achievements and abilities were all fine. According to normal development, he should at least go to Yulin City to be a deputy secretary of the city party committee or something. However, he just had no background, so he developed so slowly.

Now Su Xinghui had returned, which could be considered an opportunity for Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian. After all, he and Su Xinghui were old acquaintances and old colleagues. They got along quite well when they were in Pengjiawanzhen. If they could renew their old friendship with Su Xinghui now, if Su Xinghui could say a few words for him at some point, it would be worth his own struggle for several years.

Of course, Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian was embarrassed to say this directly to Su Xinghui, so he must accompany Su Xinghui well today. I think Su Xinghui should be able to understand his meaning, right?

Fang Youcai said, "Then everyone go to my house. My house is already prepared. Today I invite Mayor Su to dinner."

Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian stood up and said with a smile, "Mayor Su, let's go to Old Fang's house together. Let's see what good dishes he prepared for us today. Since Mayor Su is here, Old Fang will definitely not be stingy anymore."

Fang Youcai called out, "Secretary Qi, when was I, Old Fang, stingy? If you go to my house, there will still be good wine and good dishes."

Everyone laughed loudly together. They stood up together, surrounded Su Xinghui and others, and went to Fang Youcai's house.

Fang Youcai's house was also a courtyard with white walls and black tiles, a three-story small building. There was a large living room on the first floor, which could accommodate three or four tables. Now several dining tables had been set up, and the dining tables were full of delicious food.

Fang Youcai greeted everyone to sit down. Su Xinghui naturally sat at a table in the middle with Yu Ruizhi, Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian, Fang Youcai, and others.

The dishes on the dining table included bamboo rats, pheasants, wild rabbits, and wild boars, which were specialties of Yezhugou, as well as some vegetarian dishes such as shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and bracken. Now it was the Spring Festival, and there were also some New Year dishes with Hudong characteristics on the table, such as meatballs, meat cakes, pork rib and lotus root soup, etc.

Fang Youcai pointed to a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Mayor Su, this bowl of chicken soup is stewed with pheasant and Du Zhong. Drinking this chicken soup can strengthen muscles and bones. Although your body is very good, drinking more won't do any harm."

Su Xinghui was happy. Yezhugou had already utilized the Du Zhong they planted, which was really good. Of course, he knew the function of Du Zhong. It was indeed a good medicine. Stewing it with chicken soup had a really good effect. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."

Fang Youcai said, "Take a bag when you leave and go back to stew soup for the elders at home. It's good for the elderly."

Su Xinghui said, "There's no need to take a bag, right?"

Fang Youcai's face sank and said, "Mayor Su, I'm not bribing or accepting bribes. We are old friends. If it were someone else, I wouldn't give it. You must take it. If you don't take a bag, don't come next time."

Only then did Su Xinghui nod and say, "Okay, okay, okay, Secretary Fang, you have the final say. You say take a bag, then take a bag."

Only then did Fang Youcai laugh, "This is right."

Fang Youcai also introduced other dishes. These dishes basically added some nourishing Chinese medicine. It could be called a table of medicinal cuisine. This Yezhugou medicinal cuisine could also be considered a tourism project here. Most of the tourists who came here to travel would eat a meal of medicinal cuisine in these restaurants.
