Enjoy the world

Hua Zhenxing put away the sound barrier, and the door of the private room opened automatically. He and Charles both stood up and left the table to greet him.

The eldest of the three brothers, Xiao Guang and Lao Sanlang, came outside the door. The second brother, Sima Zhi, still stayed in the manor. Although Xiao Guang didn't think that today's treaters could do anything to him, he still maintained his usual cautious attitude. Not all three brothers came, leaving some backup to take over.

Xiao Guang looks to be less than forty years old, with a medium build. He wears an improved modern Chinese suit and looks very stylish with a smile. How can I describe this expression? Combined with his body shape, he looks very humble, but deep down, he has the "approachable" feeling of a superior person.

Schoolmaster Lin looks about ten years younger than Xiao Guang, and is also about ten centimeters taller. At nearly thirty years old, he is considered an "old man" in the Kingdom of Kilili, but in many other places in the world he is still a young man, and he looks pretty good. Handsome, with a bit of arrogance.

In fact, Xiao Guang and Colonel Lin are not as young as they look. These three brothers came to Banda City to run Sanhu Town twenty years ago. Xiao Guang is actually fifty-five years old now, and Lang is The school citizen is forty-three years old.

After the door opened, the two people were stunned for a moment. There was a young black man and a child in the private room. Although monks cannot judge their age by description, no matter how advanced Huazhenxing is, they still have the temperament and description of an adolescent boy, which cannot be faked by adults.

Xiao Guang was just stunned, then he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "It turns out that Mayor Xia is coming to Sanhu Town. What a glorious sight! Since Mayor Xia came in person, why didn't he say anything when he sent someone to notify him? Are you clear? We can also prepare a special welcome ceremony!"

Schoolmaster Lin immediately came to his senses and nodded: "It's too hasty to meet like this. We didn't prepare well in advance. Why do you have the nerve to let Mayor Xia treat us to dinner at Sanhu Restaurant? We must entertain you well today!"

With their eyesight, it was not surprising that they could recognize Charles. As the local emperor of Sanhu Town, even if he didn't care about the affairs of Feso Port, he couldn't care less about the major events happening in Banda City.

By the way, Charles is now the mayor of Banda City and a senior official of the League. As for the mayor of Fiso Port, Locke is temporarily acting.

Gu Wentong once secretly planned to push Locke to the position of president of the new alliance and mayor of Fesoport. He tried every means to build momentum for Locke, but now he has achieved results.

After Charles became the mayor of Banda City, it was natural for Locke to take over as the acting mayor. Even the local indigenous people thought it was natural.

Ciel's information is not a secret. He is a public figure, even the only public figure in the local area. If you go back to a year ago, you could ask a random person in Port Feso, what does the mayor look like and what is his name? It is estimated that nine out of ten people do not know it, but if you ask people now, there will be almost no one who does not know Ciel.

Shire's speech and various promotional videos of the new alliance are now broadcast daily in various communities in Bubanda. Even if Xiao Guang and others didn't see it, Hua Zhenxing had already sent someone a piece of information in advance, and that information also contained relevant content.

Charles shook hands with the two guests one after another and said: "The situation in Banda City is still unstable, and I don't want to alarm too many people. Today I just want to meet with three gentlemen to talk about how Sanhu Town will develop in the future. It seems that there is still a Why didn’t Mr. Sima come?”

Xiao Guang: "Sima Zhi has something to do today, and we both came here for the same purpose. Mayor Xia, who is this gentleman...?"

They didn't know Hua Zhenxing. Hua Zhenxing took the initiative and said: "Mr. Xiao, my name is Hua Zhenxing! We met that day in the wilderness. I appeared as Major General Farah."

"Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hua. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Xiao Guang's tone became obviously higher. He and Principal Lin both bowed to Hua Zhenxing, and their attitudes changed subtly in an instant.

Just now they thought Hua Zhenxing was a follower brought by Charles to serve as an assistant or translator. Although Charles is fluent in Dongguan speech, he may not be able to understand all Dongguan, so he still needs such an assistant.

It turned out that Hua Zhenxing was the monk they met that night, and their judgment immediately changed. Between Hua Zhenxing and Ciel, they obviously believed that Hua Zhenxing was the one who had the final say, and he was the boss standing behind Ciel.

This is both admirable and enviable. They only own Sanhu Town by controlling the Sanhu Gang, and this young man is too courageous, right? Unexpectedly, by controlling the leader of the new alliance, he not only owned the Port of Feso, but also captured the city of Banda!

Their judgment was not completely wrong. Hua Zhenxing was indeed Ciel's behind-the-scenes supporter and the one who really had the final say. But on the other hand, it was completely wrong.

Hua Zhenxing also returned the courtesy and said: "Please sit down quickly and ask the waiter to serve hot food!"

The orders were quickly served, and Xiao Guang asked: "Fellow Daoist Hua, Mayor Xia, what kind of wine would you like to drink? We have all kinds of good wines produced in Dongguo, which can't be bought elsewhere."

Hua Zhenxing took out a bottle of Moutai that was manufactured fifty years ago from the backpack next to the chair and asked: "Is there any new wine? It's best to mix it with two bottles."

Old Man Yang on the first floor cursed in a low voice: "This wasteful thing!"

Mo Shangtong frowned and said, "Isn't wine just for drinking? Do you think that wine can't be drunk, or that Xiaohua can't drink it?"

Ke Mengchao smiled and said: "I only took one bottle, but you took two bottles today."

Old Man Yang: "Can this be the same? I invited you two, and he invited those guys."

Mo Shangtong: "It's indeed different."

Ke Mengchao: "It makes sense!"

Sanhu Restaurant did not have this year’s new wine, but it did have Moutai that was produced the year before last. Colonel Lin got up and went to get two bottles in person. They were genuine and not fake.

Old wine tastes better when mixed with new wine, but it is very particular. Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to mix it himself, but Charles got interested and insisted on giving it a try. He mixed it back and sipped it.

Schoolmaster Lin smiled and said, "What a treat today! I didn't expect that Mayor Xia would mix wine?"

Charles said without raising his head: "I originally opened a wine shop, with production, supply, and sales. One-third of the banana wine sold in the bars in Fiso Port is actually supplied by me."

Colonel Lin: "That's not Dongguo liquor, it's completely two flavors."

Charles: "I've also mixed Dongguo liquor. I added sugar and Dongguotou domestically produced Erguotou to banana wine, and adjusted the taste of each batch. That's what Xiaohua taught me. I've drank a lot of Dongguo myself, like I’ve had this kind of Maotai at Xiaohua’s many times.”

Xiao Guang: "Then I'm relieved. Mayor Xia will continue to pay."

With one bottle of old wine and two bottles of new wine, Charles mixed out about one and a half kilograms of mature wine in a large pot. The wine dividers for everyone were filled, and he toasted first.

Xiao Guang then said: "Then let me toast too! Welcome fellow Taoist Hua, welcome Mayor Xia!"

Then Mr. Liang raised his glass and said: "Then let me toast again, for the sake of happy cooperation in the future... Eat the food first! Fellow Taoist Hua, how is the food here? I'm not bragging. Looking at the entire country of Jili, in You can’t eat such authentic Dong Guo cuisine anywhere else.”

Hua Zhenxing frowned slightly and said: "The skills of the chefs here are still far behind. They can't even keep up with the canteen chefs at the construction site, let alone the canteen chefs of Huanxiang Industrial. It's a pity these materials... I'll try something else. It’s all the same, I can’t say I didn’t do it well, I just don’t know how to do it.”

Hua Zhenxing didn't deliberately seek trouble, he just told the truth. Speaking like this is not in line with the habits of a Dongguo person, but Hua Zhenxing has lived in Fesuo Port since he was a child, and he doesn't give much face when speaking.

Moreover, it was his treat today, and the place he chose was the restaurant owned by the other party, so it was already a great honor to do this. As for the quality of the food, Hua Zhenxing did not evaluate it based on his own level. He compared it with the two canteens he was most familiar with.

Charles seemed to be a little gloating about his misfortune, and explained while suppressing a smile: "Actually, Xiaohua knows how to cook. He has been able to cook since he was a child. He is the highest-level chef I have ever seen!"

Huazhenxing also realized that it was a bit rude to say this, and added: "Maybe the taste here is more suitable for locals or overseas tourists, and this is normal."

This may be true, but what Mr. Lin just said was "authentic Dongguo cuisine". His face was obviously a little confused, and he yelled at the waiter.

When you call a waiter when eating locally, the speed of arrival often depends on the other person's mood. But after Principal Lin shouted, a waiter immediately ran in and pushed the door open. His voice was trembling: "Mr. Lin, what are your orders?"

Principal Lin: “Who cooked this table of food?”

Waiter: "I'm not sure. Is there something wrong?"

Principal Lin: "If you don't know, just ask which chef made which dish. Ask me clearly. If you can't remember, just write it down with a pen! Remove all the dishes from this table and tell the head chef. He shouted and made a new copy of it exactly as it was, asking him to do it himself.”

Waiter: "The chef is very busy today. Because there are many guests, this dish should not be cooked by him."

Schoolmin Lin: "I don't care if he is busy or not, this is my guest, let him cook quickly! If my guest is not satisfied, I will also be very dissatisfied. This is not a matter of redoing a table of dishes!"

Hua Zhenxing was a little dumbfounded, and Charles was watching the show next to him. All the tables were cleared, and soon there was another table with the same dishes. Xiao Guang asked Hua Zhenxing to try it again. Are you still satisfied?

Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about the food and let's talk about business. Mayor Xia is here today. We can say a lot of things directly, and we can do it after we agree."

Schoolman Lang picked up his wine glass and said: "It's easy to say at the right time. In the past, we will give Mayor Xia the same amount as we gave to Farah every year. This time, we are all on our own, and we will definitely be able to cooperate better."

I can have the benefits delivered right away, but Mayor Xia, when will the Sanhu Gang be released? I still count on them to work every day! "

Charles put down his cup and said slowly: "Bribery and corruption of state agency staff in order to seek illegal benefits... Those who commit extremely large amounts and cause particularly heavy losses to the country shall be sentenced to ten years or more in prison, life imprisonment or death. and subject to fines or forfeiture of assets.”
