master of the deep

Chapter 53 Choice
Just that night, in another part of Dongzhou City, in a quiet room of Xianya Tea House, two middle-aged men in their fifties were sitting opposite each other, with green smoke curling up from the teacups in front of them, and the aroma was tangy.

The man on the left has long-inch hair, with strands of white faintly in the hair. His maroon face is as resolute as a knife, and his eyes are piercing. Wearing a white shirt and a lavender twill tie, he looks energetic and dignified .

The man on the right has a broad face, with ear-length long hair parted in threes and sevens, and combed meticulously. There is a smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha. A ray of light came out.

On the surface, these two men appear to be quite extraordinary, either successful wealthy businessmen or promising high-ranking officials.In fact, the man on the left is Zeng Yuhua, the deputy secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the man on the right is Wei Mingyuan, the secretary general of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee.

"Secretary-General Wei, please taste this West Lake Longjing Yuqian tea, and see if it still catches your eye?" Zeng Yuhua stretched out his hand, and hearty laughter rang out in the room.

Longjing tea is divided into three types: Shifeng Longjing, Meiwu Longjing and West Lake Longjing due to its different origins.It was first produced in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty.Yuqian Longjing tea is a kind of West Lake Longjing tea.It refers to Longjing tea picked before Guyu.

Temperature has a great influence on Longjing. In the spring tea season, the higher the temperature, the lower the quality of the tea, and the lower the temperature, the better the quality.At the same time, according to the annual solar terms, before Qingming Festival, the temperature is generally in the season when the low temperature slowly warms up to high temperature. After Qingming, the temperature often rises sharply.Therefore, Qingming is used as the first distinction of Longjing tea.

Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival is called "Mingqian", and Longjing tea picked before the Grain Rain is called "Yuqian".There is a saying that "before the rain is the top grade, and before the dawn is the treasure".When brewing Longjing tea, you can see the buds standing upright, the soup color is clear, and the fragrance is overflowing, especially the one with one bud and one leaf, commonly known as "one flag, one gun" is the best.

Xu Cishu, a native of Qiantang in the Ming Dynasty who is well versed in the taste of life and loves tea like his life, is the author of the book "Tea Shu".

Once, he lived in the monk's dormitory for more than ten days without doing anything. He only liked to brew Longjing tea and have fun every day.He couldn't think of Shu very much, and when he left, he reluctantly said: "I really want to be a monk who has lost his temper, and can be accompanied by tea every day."
"Hehe, Secretary Zeng, you are too polite. However, this West Lake Dragon Well Tea is a rare and good tea, and today I want to enjoy it with the help of Secretary Zeng." Wei Mingyuan laughed and picked up the teacup , I saw the buds standing upright in the teacup, the soup color was clear, and the fragrance was overflowing.

He didn't drink it immediately, but took a deep breath after approaching, then raised his head and exhaled slowly, suddenly felt a sweet air reverberating in his lungs, very refreshing.

Then he took a shallow sip, and immediately there was a sweet fragrance in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue was endlessly sweet, and he couldn't help admiring: "The chalcedony is cooked in the morning before the rain, and the spring tea is the freshest."

"Unexpectedly, Secretary-General Wei also has research on Longjing, and he is so familiar with Hu Qiao's poems. It seems that today's tea is also an honor to meet such a bosom friend as Secretary-General Wei." Zeng Yuhua laughed and joked, but pulled Closer the distance between the two.

"This is because Secretary Zeng knows my heart well, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to enjoy the world's best Yuqian Longjing." Wei Mingyuan immediately replied knowingly after listening to Xiange.

"Heroes with swords, good tea wearers." Zeng Yuhua laughed, and then stretched out his hand to invite Wei Mingyuan to drink tea. At the same time, he also picked up the teacup, slowly spun it around a few times, and then drank gently He took a sip and nodded in satisfaction.

"Secretary Zeng, speaking of which, you are still my leader. It has been almost a year since Secretary Zeng came to Dongzhou. Although we are all in the municipal party committee compound, you still sit together drinking tea and chatting like this. This is the first time." Wei Mingyuan sighed.

"Secretary-General Wei is the chief housekeeper of the municipal party committee compound. He is busy with his affairs. How can he be as free as I am? He drinks tea and reads newspapers all day long." Zeng Yuhua said mockingly.

"Oh, Secretary Zeng is too modest. Your ability is obvious to all the people in the municipal committee compound. You have grasped the work of the party and the masses well. Even Secretary Wu has praised you many times. It's worth learning." Wei Mingyuan quickly shook his head to retort, the flesh on his face was trembling.

"Mingyuan is too famous. But today I asked you out because of the fact that my daughter went out to sea with your young master and other friends. I believe Secretary-General Wei already knows about the breakdown of the children's cruise ship?" After drinking tea for a while , Zeng Yuhua took the initiative to bring up the purpose of asking Wei Mingyuan today.

"Yes, Jiacheng has already called me. They are now on a fishing boat called the Golden Pearl. There should be no problem with safety." Speaking of this, Wei Mingyuan's expression became serious.

"Then, Mingyuan, do you know that six of them went to sea, but now only five are safe. Hu Qingyan, the daughter of Director Hu Yong of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, is missing." Zeng Yuhua was equally serious.

"My son has also mentioned this, but he doesn't know the specific situation, he only knows that it seems to have something to do with your son-in-law." Wei Mingyuan said hesitantly.

"Mingyuan, you don't know yet, my little girl called me back and told me that Hu Qingyan's disappearance is indeed related to that Zhu Zicai and Liu Bin, and she has no relationship with Zhu Zicai, so I'm going to replace you when I come back this time." She broke off the engagement." Zeng Yuhua said with a sigh.

Wei Mingyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed, knowing that this was a big deal.Not long ago, when Zeng Yuhua's daughter got engaged to Zhu Haifeng's son, it was quite a sensation in Dongzhou official circles, because it meant that the No. [-] and No. [-] people in Dongzhou joined forces.

During this period of time, Dongzhou officialdom has indeed undergone great changes. Apart from Dongzhou senior officials and Dongzhou mayor Han Wanzhong, a third power group headed by Zeng Yuhua and Zhu Haifeng has formed, and at the same time a tripartite confrontation in Dongzhou officialdom has been formed. situation.

Now that Zeng Yuhua said this, it obviously means that the situation where he and Zhu Haifeng joined hands will be broken, and the two will definitely turn against each other because of this. This will have an equally huge impact on Dongzhou officialdom, and it will ruin Zeng Yuhua's hard work these days. , so no wonder he sighed.

And Wei Mingyuan also knew the reason why Zeng Yuhua did this, because he also received a call from his son, knowing that Hu Qingyan's disappearance might be related to Zhu Haifeng's son. In this case, Zeng Yuhua's daughter's dissolution of the engagement is also a normal act of a father.

However, although Zeng Yuhua said so, Wei Mingyuan was still inconvenient to say anything before things happened. After all, they are still in a joint relationship. Who knows how things will develop in the future, so he thought for a while and said: "Zeng Secretary, you should seriously consider such a major matter."

"Don't think about it. Compared with my daughter's happiness, personal gains and losses are nothing. Mingyuan, let's see when Secretary Wu is free. I want to report to him about work." Zeng Yuhua shook his head, his eyes calm Looking at Wei Mingyuan intently.

Wei Mingyuan's heart was shocked. He knew what Zeng Yuhua meant. He wanted to put down his face and join the banner of the high-ranking city officials. Thinking that he would do this for his daughter, Wei Mingyuan sighed and admired, and nodded quickly and said: "Secretary Wu will be free for half an hour after the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow morning."

"Well, Mingyuan, I would like to trouble you to mention this to the secretary first. I will report to him after the meeting tomorrow. The party and mass work in Dongzhou City cannot be separated from him as the top leader." Zeng Yuhua Said with a natural look.

"Secretary Zeng, don't worry, I will definitely bring this to you." Wei Mingyuan said quickly, he believed that if Zeng Yuhua wanted to join him, he would definitely value him very much. After all, he is the number three person in Dongzhou City, and his status is far above yourself.

"That's good. However, if Director Hu's daughter can't be found, the murderer must be severely punished. Anyone who commits a crime must not go unpunished." Zeng Yuhua said casually.

"Don't worry, Secretary Zeng. If my son knows something, I will let him tell the truth." Wei Mingyuan understood what Zeng Yuhua meant, and immediately replied, expressing his intentions.

At the same time, Lin Fan was grilling with Zeng Xiaotong and others on the Golden Pearl. He found that he fell in love with barbecue now, and the seafood tasted quite good. At least Wang Biao, Zhou Xiaolin, including Wang Yuyan, Hong Yan, Wei Jiacheng and Gao Xiao will rush to eat.

That's because when he grilled, he secretly used the mysterious energy of his own practice, injected the mysterious energy into the flame, and the grilled food tasted extremely delicious. In fact, it was because it contained the original cosmic energy, which can transform people. body, that's why they like to eat so much.

"Report to the captain, the body of Hu Qingyan has been searched by the coast guard ship. It is very strange that her body is on the edge of the deserted island where she was killed, and has not been destroyed by sea beasts. When we arrived, the coast guard His body has been salvaged, so we didn't do anything, just took pictures of the salvage scene."

While he was resting, the upper aircraft he sent to investigate Hu Qingyan's body returned with good news.This made Lin Fan ponder. Now that the coast guard has found Hu Qingyan's body, the investigation should be easier.
