Chapter 7

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, Secretary Chen, then I will go back tomorrow."

Xia Lan asked, "Little Su, didn't you say that you can also run a bamboo weaving factory? Can you also help us ask about the sales channels for bamboo weaving products this time?"

"Yes, anyway, I have to go to Jiangcheng, so I can ask by the way." Su Xinghui nodded very readily.

Xia Lan's face was flushed with excitement. Weaving bamboo utensils and bamboo weaving handicrafts, the women in Yezhugou were all good hands. In the past, the women here didn't have much to do because there was not much arable land here, and the mountain people in the mountainous areas were not used to intensive farming, and the farming methods were relatively extensive. The men in the family were enough to plant that little land. The women stayed at home to do housework and take care of children, and had a lot of idle time. Even she, the women's director, didn't have much to do. If she could organize the women to weave bamboo to make money, how much sense of achievement would she have!

Xia Lan said, "Little Su, then I will ask someone to weave some bamboo utensils and handicrafts for you to take today. It will be good for you to use as samples when you go to Jiangcheng."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, but don't weave them too big. It's best to weave some miniature models, so you can take more. By the way, be sure to weave them exquisitely."

Xia Lan said happily, "Okay, I'll go find someone to weave."

Saying that, Xia Lan ran out. Zhao Zhongfu shouted, "Xia Lan, hurry up, your sister-in-law's meal is almost ready."

Xia Lan agreed from afar. Fang Youcai shook his head, "Xia Lan is just so vigorous."

Chen Hongfu smiled, "This shows that her work style is vigorous."

Gao Daping said, "Can she not be vigorous? If the bamboo weaving factory is really set up, she, the women's director, will have things to do in the future."

Hearing Gao Daping's words full of envy, Zhao Zhongfu said, "Old Gao, if the village really sets up a breeding farm and a bamboo weaving factory, are you still afraid that you will have nothing to do in the future?"

Gao Daping nodded, "That's true."

Several people chatted happily. In a while, it was past ten o'clock. Xia Lan ran back and said, "I found a few people, they are weaving, you can take it when you leave in the afternoon."

At this time, Xiao Qin had already started to bring dishes from the kitchen to the hall. In Meng Hu Ling, mountain people generally only eat two meals a day. The first meal is around ten o'clock, and the second meal is around four or five in the afternoon. This was to save food for one meal in ancient times. Of course, the life of mountain people is not good now, even if there are some better days, they have kept this habit until now.

Several men carried the eight-immortal table to the middle of the room and sat at the table. Zhao Zhongfu took out a jar of homemade corn wine, poured it for Chen Hongfu first, then poured a cup for Su Xinghui, and then filled everyone else. He raised his glass and said, "Secretary Chen, Little Su, come, I toast you a glass, welcome you to drink at my house!"

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp, even Xia Lan was no exception. Women in the mountains also have drinking capacity.

Zhao Zhongfu pointed to the dishes on the table, "Eat the dishes quickly, made by the woman in the house, don't blame if the craftsmanship is not good!"

Chen Hongfu picked up a chopstick of wild boar meat and ate it. He smiled, "With such good wild game, what else is there to say, Little Su, don't be polite, eat more!"

Su Xinghui agreed, picked up a chopstick of braised bamboo rat meat and ate it. The way of making wild game in the mountains is relatively rough, usually large pieces, large bowls, and it doesn't look so exquisite. However, the wild game burned with pine branches and fruit wood in the mountains is full of the flavor of the wild nature. Even if people with poor appetite come here, they will definitely have a big appetite.

Su Xinghui in his previous life had eaten a lot of wild game here, but before his rebirth, he hadn't been to Meng Hu Ling to eat this original wild game for several years. Now that he ate it again, he was also quite emotional.

Fang Youcai asked with a smile, "How is it? Little Su, is our wild game here not bad?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Hmm, this bamboo rat meat is fresh and tender, and it carries a clear fragrance of bamboo. It's too delicious, and Sister-in-law Xiao Qin's craftsmanship is also good."

Fang Youcai gave a thumbs up, "Little Su is really good at eating. Last time a cadre from the county came to us, he heard that this thing is called a bamboo rat, and he refused to eat it no matter what."

Fang Youcai shook his head, looking disapproving.

Chen Hongfu laughed, "That's because he doesn't know how to eat, let's eat more."

Zhao Zhongfu nodded, "Yes, eat more, wild game is enough today."

Xiao Qin's dishes were still being brought up constantly. Braised wild boar meat, stir-fried three fresh, stewed wild boar belly, braised bamboo rat, yam-stewed wild rabbit, wild chicken mushroom gastrodia soup, wild fungus stir-fried eggs, and several kinds of wild vegetables in the mountains. In a while, the eight-immortal table was filled.

Chen Hongfu said, "Zhongfu, that's enough, let your wife come to eat, don't cook dishes, there are more than a dozen dishes, is it Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Zhongfu said, "It doesn't matter, Secretary Chen, this table is all wild game in the mountains, things that don't cost money, even these eggs are fried from a nest of wild eggs I dug. You are distinguished guests, and you and Little Su have pointed out a way to get rich for us, what kind of person would we be if we were reluctant to give even these things? Don't worry about my wife, just let her eat in the kitchen."

Chen Hongfu's face sank, "That won't work, she has been busy all morning, it won't work if she doesn't come to the table, hurry up and call her to the table, we still have to toast her a glass of wine to thank her."

Zhao Zhongfu then called Xiao Qin over and poured her a glass of wine. Chen Hongfu and Su Xinghui stood up together to toast her. Xiao Qin was so nervous that her face turned red, "How can I deserve this?"

Chen Hongfu smiled, "It should be, it should be, you have worked hard all morning, it is right for us to thank you."

Xiao Qin didn't know how to speak. Seeing Chen Hongfu say this, she could only drink the wine with a flushed face.

Not long after, after three rounds of wine, Fang Youcai was surprised, "Little Su is a college student, and he is quite straightforward in drinking."

Everyone toasted with Su Xinghui, and he drank it in one gulp. Drinking here uses that kind of white porcelain wine glass, about eight qian per cup, which is not small. However, after a while, he had already drunk five or six cups, which is almost half a jin of wine, and his face didn't change color, which is no wonder Fang Youcai was surprised.

Su Xinghui felt that his physical state after rebirth was much better than in his previous life. He had been tested in the officialdom for a long time in his previous life, and his drinking capacity had been well exercised. It was no problem to drink seven or eight liang of white wine. In this life, he felt nothing when drinking. Now that he had drunk five or six cups of wine, he didn't have that slightly drunk feeling. It seems that his drinking capacity had also increased, which is of course a good thing. In grassroots work, if you drink straightforwardly, many tasks are easy to carry out.

Su Xinghui smiled, "This corn wine is quite delicious."

Chen Hongfu nodded, "Drinking straightforwardly is a good thing, Youcai, Zhongfu, Little Su drinks so straightforwardly, you must support him in his work in the future!"

Several people naturally nodded repeatedly. This Little Su has high academic qualifications, is not pretentious, is capable, has a brain, and has a steady personality. Now Chen Hongfu clearly wants to cultivate him, and he will definitely have a bright future. He just pointed out a way to make money for them, how could they not lift the pile?

Zhao Zhongfu smiled, "Little Su, drink as much as you can. My corn wine at home, drink as much as you can, there is no aftereffect, as long as you are not drunk at the time, it will definitely not go to your head."

Fang Youcai said, "Don't be afraid if you are drunk, sleep here today, the village committee has a ready-made place, I will get you a new quilt."

Gao Daping smiled lewdly, "Let Xia Lan find someone to warm your feet at night."

Xia Lan laughed, "It's easy to find someone to warm Little Su's feet. Little Su is tall and big, a talent, and a college student, which girl doesn't like it? I'm just afraid that Little Su doesn't like it."
