life in the sky

Don't mention it, the restaurant manager didn't brag just now, all the dishes served were delicious, the mouths were full, and they couldn't stop talking about how delicious they were, especially the youngest daughter, Xinmeng, who yelled I hope my father will bring them here to eat tomorrow.

With Mu Guoxing's family conditions, let alone come to eat once in a while, even if he lives in a hotel every day, he still has the spending power.But their consumption is paid out of their own pockets, which is completely different from those who use public funds to eat and drink.

After tasting the delicacies here and drinking a few glasses of wine, Mu Guoxing turned his head and asked the waiter who was serving at the side: "How much does it usually cost to have a meal here?"

The waiter smiled and said: "There's no end to it, there are [-], [-], just in this box I once served a table of guests who ate [-] at a time, like you tables, I guess there will be almost this number.”

Mu Guoxing nodded calmly: "Can the government department come to eat on credit?"

The little waiter shook his head and said with a smile: "In the past, we could still sign bills, but now we are afraid of being owed by the government, and the boss will not allow us to pay the bill. Yesterday, an official brought 3 I personally came to eat more than 7000 yuan, and the money was delivered today. Of course, rich units can still sign the bill, such as some units in the telecommunications sector, usually settle the bill every half a month, and each time there is 10,000+ yuan.”

The little waiter thought to himself, does the boss also want to sign the bill when he asks this sentence?This can't be done, I'll have to talk to the restaurant manager later, if I don't know him, if he repudiates me, even if I sell myself, I won't be able to pay it back.

Zhong Ling also seemed to see the waiter's intentions, and took out a gold card from her small satchel and shook it: "Don't worry, we won't sign the bill!"

The waiter knew the gold card issued by Bank X. Even if there was no money in it, the holder of this card could still overdraft 30 yuan.

Mu Guoxing asked again: "Are there more people coming here to eat from work units, or more business people?"

The little waiter pouted and thought for a while, then said: "Hmm... In the past, the work unit used to eat a lot, which accounted for 6% to 5%. Now that the debt is not allowed, it is a little less. Except for those rich units, hospitals, schools, etc. I also eat a lot, and the city hospital is a designated place to eat. Today, a school booked [-] tables, the bank booked [-] tables, and the local tax bureau booked [-] tables. , Our boss has a background."

The waiter seemed to be worried that Mu Guoxing would sign the bill, and he talked endlessly about the difficulty of collecting the bill, and finally said: "Our customers in that hall signed the bill, and the waiter in that hall is in charge. To collect the bills, when I go to collect the bills, I usually go directly to the "leader". Director Li of the Industry and Commerce Bureau made me afraid of collecting the bills."

After eating this meal, Mu Guoxing didn't know what it was like. Guangnan Province is still an economically underdeveloped province, and the lives of the people are still very hard, but some government officials actually came here. There is a lot of food and drink in the planting place, and the cheapest dish can cover the living expenses of a family of laid-off workers for a whole month.No wonder the common people say that when you go out to a building, you can eat a cow!It seems that this sentence is not an exaggeration at all. A meal costs close to [-]. How many cows does this have to be? It should be a herd of cows.

When I swiped my card at the checkout, I spent a total of 8000 yuan on this meal. This should be because no one drinks alcohol. If I add a few more bottles of high-end wine, I am afraid that even [-] yuan may not be able to get it. Mu Guoxing believed it at this time The waiter did not tell lies, and the situation reported on the Internet is also true.

In order to attract Mu Guoxing, a big client, the manager of the restaurant sent him a Joels leather bag while sending them the invoice.

When passing by an exquisitely decorated gift room, the restaurant manager graciously sent Mu Guoxing's family downstairs and said: "Boss, if you can reimburse the reimbursement, you can also bring some souvenirs back from us. It can all be included in the meal fee for you.”

930 [-] four chapters make up the mang ox (the second watch asks for flowers)

Mu Guoxing glanced at the gifts, and saw that the Joels leather bag given to him by the restaurant manager just now was worth 3000 yuan, the "Montblanc" pen was 7800 yuan, the "Boss" belt was 3000 yuan, the white bird's nest was 4600 yuan, and the Cordyceps 9800 yuan, Tudor watches are 7 yuan, and "Rolex" watches are 10 yuan.

Zhong Ling, Wu Yin, and Lei Lei next to them also took pictures of the prices of these souvenirs with their mobile phones. In their words, they wanted to go back to study and study, and when they came to dinner next time, they would take those as souvenirs.

Of course, the manager of the restaurant couldn't wait for it. Not only did he not stop the behavior of the three women, but he even took out a delicately packaged yellow box for them, and said mysteriously: "We still have good things here."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the three women, the manager of the restaurant said: "Three ladies, the baby I took is the men's supplement sea dog whip, which is rich in DPA, EPA, DHA, natural testosterone, peptides, choline, Lecithin, collagen, viscous protein, hemoglobin, nucleic acid and other active substances, in the final analysis, improve the quality of sexual life."

The three women blushed and left in a hurry. They were very aware of Mu Guoxing's toughness. No matter who was on duty, they would be tormented by him with backaches and backaches. Also let people live.

Mu Guoxing brought the children to the parking lot ahead of time. After the children sat in, he looked around at the official cars in the parking lot.As soon as I took a look at the license plate of a car, I saw a security guard running over in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "What are you doing? The license plate here is confidential, and no one is allowed to peek."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "I just came out of the restaurant and saw that this car belonged to a friend of mine, so I drove it first."

Judging people by their appearance, there are such people everywhere, especially in hotels and restaurants.The security guards saw Mu Guoxing's imposing appearance, the two imported off-road vehicles they were driving, and the eye-catching entourage standing behind Mu Guoxing, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Boss, our hotel has a rule that our security guards are responsible for the cars that guests drive for dinner, and the license plate numbers are also kept secret. Don't make it difficult for me. If our boss sees it and deducts my salary, don't tell me. I couldn't keep my job.

Back home, the three women were chattering about what happened during the meal today, and Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "What did the restaurant manager tell you? Why did I see that when you came out, you looked a little different?" ah!"

The three women looked at each other, blushed and laughed, Wu Yin said, "The manager of the restaurant sold us a high-end tonic for men."

Mu Guoxing understood a little bit, and joked: "Why didn't you buy some for me to try?"

The three women spat together: "I'll make it up for you! Make it up again, and you'll become a mad cow instead of a mad cow!"

After laughing for a while, Zhong Ling said: "Husband, Guangnan is still an economically underdeveloped province, but the business of this restaurant is very prosperous. A casual meal costs tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Who came to eat these?"

Lei Lei said: "Didn't you listen to what the waiter said? Most of the people who go there to eat are from government officials and units. Who can afford it for ordinary people? This really wins our Ningbei's words." Le: The poorer you eat, the more you eat, the poorer you are!"

"Husband, this kind of atmosphere must be killed, otherwise, even if there is a golden mountain in Guangnan, it will be eaten up by these people."

Mu Guoxing glanced at Zhong Ling and nodded: "The Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee have issued repeated orders not to use public funds to eat and drink, but there are policies and countermeasures. It turned out that I just thought that these officials would not put it in their pockets. There is nothing wrong with ordering a drink, but now it seems that my idea is wrong. You are right, the economy is not yet developed, so eat like this. If one day Guangnan Province becomes rich, I don’t know how these people can eat No matter what the tricks are, it seems that it is very necessary to send cadres to the countryside and implement the three forms of unity with the peasants.”

"Three Tongs? What Santongs?"

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Didn't you see the propaganda on TV? The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee made a resolution requiring all the cadres in the province to go to the countryside by stages and batches during the year, and The common people eat, live and work together, let them experience the hardships of the common people's life, and let them be educated ideologically."

Wu Yin said: "This method is good, but will it work?"

Mu Guoxing sighed: "Whether it works or not depends on the effect. It is better to have such an action than to have no action at all. Now the bureaucratic style of cadres has become more and more serious. Over the years of reform and opening up, they have all I have forgotten the glorious traditions of the older generation. The bad habits and ethos that have been developed for a long time can definitely be changed overnight for them. This is a big systematic project, and it must be changed gradually and slowly. "

The phone rang, and He Jijian's voice came from the phone: "Master, this hotel has booked more than a dozen tables tonight, most of which are from provincial agencies, and there are two levels of government in Huajiang City."

Putting the phone away, Mu Guoxing returned to the study and called Huo Anshan, the director of the Inspectorate Bureau: "Comrade Anshan, the current focus of the Inspectorate Bureau's work is only on rectifying the work style of the cadres. Isn't this a bad idea? There are some limitations? For example, some cadres use public funds to eat and drink, does your supervisory department have any specific measures!"

Although Mu Guoxing spoke in a calm tone, Huo Anshan also sensed the criticism in the words of the secretary of the provincial party committee, and hurriedly said: "Secretary Mu, you are right to criticize. Our inspectorate just held a bureau meeting the day before yesterday. , The focus of the next step of the inspection work will be on eating and drinking with public funds, as well as using cars and housing beyond the standard.”

"Comrade Anshan, the supervisory department must keep abreast of the trend of public opinion, and carry out supervisory work for a specific case according to the situation in different periods. We must also keep pace with the times in our work. I suggest that you often watch Look at the feedback of the masses and keep abreast of the situation in all aspects. Supervision work is very important, especially for problems that the masses have strongly reflected. You should have heard of the Xijiang Building in Huajiang City. I will privately I went there for a meal and found that the problem of eating and drinking with public funds is still very serious.”

Mu Guoxing put away the phone. He also knew that Huo Anshan was not an idiot. After hearing this, he would definitely organize people to go to Xijiang Building to investigate.Some things can only be pointed to the end, and the words are too clear, which will make people think that he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, is interfering in other people's specific work.

Huo Anshan was taken aback. He felt that Secretary Mu was a little dissatisfied with the work of the Inspectorate. He put down the phone and turned on the computer. At a glance, he found netizens' reaction to some public servants using public funds to go to Xijiang Building to eat and drink. The more he looked at it, the more he felt the seriousness of the problem, and he understood what Secretary Mu meant by calling him.

Regardless of whether it was the weekend or not, Huo Anshan's cell phone hadn't stopped on the way to the inspector's office. When he arrived at the inspector's office, all the people who had just called to organize had arrived.

After some deployment, more than 20 cadres of the Inspectorate came to Xijiang Building in several vehicles with camera equipment at [-] o'clock in the evening.After getting out of the car, these cadres were divided into two groups according to the original plan. One group was well-trained to take pictures of the official vehicles in the parking lot, and the other group entered the interior of Xijiang Building and inspected each box.

Of course, their actions were stopped by the security guards, but when these security guards heard that the person who came was the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate, they all hid aside in fright.Although they didn't know what the inspectorate was in charge of, the word inspector was scary enough.

One thousand nine hundred and thirty five chapters Assault Inspector (one more for flowers)

The news was quickly spread to Lu Lili, the owner of Xijiang Building. This boss Lu often dealt with government officials. He knew the power of the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate. Last year, more than 100 government officials in the province were cleared out of the cadre team. , is the result of the inspection by the Inspectorate. Although the Inspectorate can't control the common people, it has fatal lethality to officials who violate the law and discipline.

Some officials who were eating and drinking were also frightened when they heard the news. After a moment of panic, they hurriedly asked their drivers to drive away.Unfortunately, the officers of the Inspectorate stopped these drivers and only let them go after they registered. Otherwise, they would have no chance of driving away.

Lu Li turned on the phone to his backstages. Although his backstages usually helped him a lot, when they heard that people from the Supervision Bureau went to the hotel to inspect the consumption of cadres' public funds, no one dared to go out. This head explained the situation for him, saying that he was on business in other places, and he was not in the provincial capital now, so there was nothing he could do about it.

It can't be said that no one came forward. There is no shortage of people who like to block guns these days. Ma Tao, the son of Ma Zhicheng, the captain of the Armed Police Frontier Guard, heard Lu Li say that someone went to Xijiang Building to make trouble, and immediately called a squad of the guard company. Soldiers from the city came to Xijiang Building in an Iveco.

"What are you doing? What are you doing here to make trouble? Drive them all out!"

Huo Anshan greeted him and showed his work card: "We are from the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate Bureau. We are here to inspect the problem of cadres using public funds to eat and drink under the instruction of Secretary Mu. Please don't hinder our official duties. .”

Lu Li saw that Ma Tao was bringing people here, and he also ran over panting with a few of his subordinates. As soon as they met, he said to Ma Tao: "Mr. Ma, these people are here to make trouble. Yes, of course guests have to drive here when they come to eat, so why not let them come here! How will we do business in the future after such a commotion?"

Ma Tao gave Lu Li a hard look, pulled him aside, and said quietly: "Boss Lu, this is from the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate, and he came here on the order of Secretary Mu. He just eats and drinks as an official. Other people don't even know how to ask. You know that Secretary Mu is very powerful. I don't think I can help you with this matter. You should hurry up and find another way. I'll tell you again. , I don’t want the dry stock you gave me either.”

After saying this, Ma Tao waved his hand, took his men into the car, and ran away without a trace.Ma Tao knows that Mu Guoxing, the secretary of the provincial party committee, is very powerful. The incident that happened at the Bu Ming border inspection station last time, if his father hadn't made a timely review and Secretary Mu had shown mercy, his father would have been punished by others long ago. fucked up.This time, if he ignorantly mixes it in again, Secretary Mu will definitely settle the old and new accounts together, and his father will be miserable by then.Now that I'm no longer an official, I don't want to pretend to be a tiger anymore.

This time, the sudden action of the Inspectorate quickly spread in the provincial capital.Some cadres who have been arrested know that they are in big trouble this time. Judging from Secretary Mu's always strong work style, even if they don't take off their official hats this time, I'm afraid everyone will have to carry a big one. punishment.

This weekend was really lively. The officials who participated in the eating and drinking that day were looking for ways to seek asylum, and some people colluded together to discuss how to solve the scam.Of course, the Inspectorate couldn't be idle any longer. It hid in a secluded place and wrote a detailed report on the inspector's situation this time.Huo Anshan's cell phone was turned off, and some people couldn't find him even if they wanted to intercede.

When I went to work on Monday morning, when some people called Huo Anshan's office, his secretary said that Director Huo had already gone to the provincial party committee.This action was unexpected by these lobbyists, and they did not expect that the Inspectorate's action would be so fast this time. Under normal circumstances, things like this don't happen for three days or five days, and they can't be reported at all. The provincial party committee went.

In fact, these people didn't understand the situation, or didn't think about it carefully. The inspector's inspection operation was ordered by Secretary Mu. If they knew about the situation, they would not Dare to go to Huo Anshan to intercede for others.

After listening to Huo Anshan's report, Mu Guoxing pointed to the inspectorate's report and said: "It seems that the problem is still very serious. This time, a deputy minister, four bureaus and more than thirty people were involved. Director-level cadres, what do these people want to do?"

Seeing that Mu Guoxing was really angry this time, Huo Anshan was too frightened to vent his anger. Although this incident had nothing to do with Huo Anshan, the Inspectorate was not able to detect these problems early. He, the head of the government, cannot escape no matter what.

"Secretary Mu, our Inspectorate's work is not effective, and I am also responsible for not discovering these problems in time. I request severe punishment from the organization."

Mu Guoxing glanced at Huo Anshan: "The Inspectorate is a newly established unit, and it is understandable that some issues have not been well connected. This matter has sounded a wake-up call for us, and the supervision of cadres needs to be implemented. Normalization and institutionalization. It is not advisable to go to the inspector after finding the problem, and press the gourd to float the ladle. This kind of work method is not advisable. After you go back, you must conduct serious research and discussion on this issue. I don’t want to have such a It happened."

Huo Anshan understood that Secretary Mu did not intend to hold him accountable this time, but was telling him not to be an example. If there were loopholes in the supervision work, or the supervision was not strong enough, then it would be difficult to talk about it. Let's settle it together.

"This material is placed with me first. How to deal with it, the provincial committee gave you instructions!"

Seeing Huo Anshan go out, Mu Guoxing called Bao Heping: "Secretary Heping, do you have time now? I want to talk to you about something!"

Bao Heping's laughter came from the phone: "Hehe, Secretary Mu, did it happen at Xijiang Building on the weekend night? I'll be there right away!"

As soon as he entered, Bao Heping said with a smile: "Secretary Mu, I received a lot of calls this morning, all about the Xijiang Building. Vice Chairman Ji of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference also called me. Explained the reason why he went to the banquet that night, and the meaning in the words was to let me tell you something."

Mu Guoxing also knew very well that after such a thing happened, someone would intercede. This is also a common phenomenon in official circles.If anyone has a problem, intercession will come one after another, and sometimes even the superiors will be alarmed.

"Secretary Heping, normal official banquets are not allowed, but there must be a limit. Just find an excuse to eat and drink like this, this unhealthy trend must be seriously stopped."

Bao Heping thought for a while and said: "Secretary Mu, eating and drinking has been banned repeatedly, and there are many reasons for this. Now everyone is disgusted with eating and drinking, especially those who eat and drink often feel helpless. Everyone is very painful. Facing the problem of eating and drinking, people hate and officials are helpless. I think the fundamental problem is that people with power in their hands don’t do what they should do, and they try to do what they shouldn’t. As a result, everyone’s mentality is unbalanced. It is necessary to treat guests, and the mentality of officials is that as long as they do business, they must be treated."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Secretary Heping, you are right. There is such a trend in society now. If you want to stop this unhealthy trend, you must solve the problem fundamentally. Determine the normal government affairs procedures and handling conditions in a transparent way, put forward restraint requirements on officials at all levels, so that they must handle relevant government affairs normally according to the regulations, and severely punish behaviors that exceed the regulations. After a long time, eating and drinking will naturally disappear."

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, the two of them fell into silence for a while, thinking about how to solve this matter. After a while, Bao Heping said again: "Secretary Mu, stop using public funds to make money. This unhealthy trend of drinking is a big project, and today I will talk about it with an open mind."

One thousand 930 Chapter six Stop eating and drinking wind (Second watch for flowers)

Bao Heping continued to say: "I think eating and drinking has been banned repeatedly. In addition to official status and backward culture, lack of system and weak supervision are also important reasons. Over the years, the state has formulated many rules and regulations to curb public funds. But not many officials have been punished for this.”

Mu Guoxing agreed with Bao Heping's point of view very much, and went on to say at this time: "Secretary Heping, your opinion is very good. I think that the rules and regulations alone can no longer restrain some officials. Carry out legislation to implement standardization of official reception. The people's congresses at all levels should require the government at the corresponding level to disclose the specific budget figures for official reception, and the people's congress will review and approve the consumption of all public funds in the budget. The final accounts at the end of the year should be carried out according to the budget at the beginning of the year, and the budget should be exceeded. There must be administrative accountability."

"Currently in our country, eating and drinking with public funds is only a violation of discipline, and has not risen to the level of corruption and crime. In fact, those who eat and drink with public funds have already embezzled state property. Legislation should be passed to establish the crime of profligacy in the criminal law." We don’t care whether other provinces and cities have done this, let’s start it in our Guangnan Province first. I believe that the central government will support us to do this, and the Provincial People’s Congress also has the power to legislate local regulations.”

The chief and deputy secretaries reached a consensus on this issue, and the next step is to deal with specific people. According to Bao Heping, the people inspected by the Inspectorate should be dealt with seriously. As the former Disciplinary Committee of Guangnan Province The secretary also hated such a question. He originally thought that Mu Guoxing would support his opinion, but he didn't expect Mu Guoxing's next sentence to surprise him.

"Secretary Heping, eating and drinking has been banned repeatedly, and it is also because our provincial party committee has not made great efforts to catch it. It can also be said that our provincial party committee is also responsible in this area. My personal opinion is that the cadres who participate in eating and drinking on weekend nights , don’t deal with it seriously this time, and order them to write an explanation of the situation, and let them make up the money themselves if it exceeds the official reception regulations.”

Mu Guoxing paused for a moment and then said: "I suggest that we hold a standing committee to discuss this issue, should we first issue a document in the name of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and make some targeted At the same time, the National People's Congress Working Committee is requested to draft legal provisions in this area, and after top-down deliberation, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress will be convened to study and pass it, and ratify it at the next National People's Congress meeting."

After taking a sip of tea, Mu Guoxing said slowly: "If you want to change the habit formed by one thing, you can't be too hasty. If the bend is too big, there will be problems. After all, the focus of our work now It is focused on vigorously developing the economy.”

There is another sentence that Mu Guoxing did not actually say, that is, the National Two Sessions are about to be held. At this time, everything must be stable. If a large number of cadres are dealt with with great fanfare, causing chaos in Guangnan official circles, That would be bad!

After listening to what Mu Guoxing said, Bao Heping felt that Mu Guoxing, as a secretary of the provincial party committee, stood tall and looked far away.The benefits of doing this are also obvious. It will not cause major turmoil, and it will gradually stop this unhealthy trend. Presumably, through this series of big moves, no one will dare to go up against the wind.The provincial party committee has given these people a chance. If they dare to eat and drink again, wouldn't they be joking with their official hats? Compared with hats, stomachs are more important.

After the Provincial Party Committee issued the document on cadres going to the countryside to share with ordinary people, several meetings were held successively to mobilize and unify the thinking and understanding of cadres.Mu Guoxing emphasized at the provincial secretarial work meeting that we should attach great importance to this activity of cadres going to the countryside and the common people, and gave instructions on some specific situations, requiring the cadres going to the countryside to pay attention to research after work, Find problems and make timely conclusions, effectively solve the people's livelihood issues that the people are concerned about, and truly take the sufferings of the people to heart.

After careful planning and deployment, the first batch of more than [-] cadres of the provincial government was organized. Before leaving, these cadres came to the auditorium of the provincial party committee. The provincial party committee held a grand ceremony for these cadres. farewell ceremony.

Mu Guoxing mentioned in his speech at the farewell ceremony that the first batch of Santong cadres must take the lead and gain experience for the future work of Santong. Only the members of the work team, everyone is equal, and no one is allowed to specialize.

The news media carried out extensive publicity and reports for this farewell ceremony. The reporters were keenly aware that the significance of the "Three Tongs Action" for cadres promoted by the Guangnan Provincial Party Committee is very important. After this action, the thoughts of cadres will definitely be There will be a great improvement. As long as the people's sufferings can be taken to heart, the people's livelihood work in Guangnan Province will definitely be done well.

The people in Guangnan Province also took a wait-and-see attitude towards the cadres’ “Three Tongs” action. Some said that this action is another superficial situation. It is simply impossible to really eat, live and work with the common people. Maybe this is another face-saving project that wastes people and money.

But more people believe that the three cadres are of great significance and will definitely be effective.Although the common people don't expect these cadres to really bend down to help them work, but these cadres who are usually high above the ground can come to the countryside to have a look and understand the sufferings of the common people. Think of the common people, stop messing around, this is a very big progress.

More than 1000 buses, carrying more than [-] cadres, slowly drove out of the provincial party committee compound. According to the arrangement of the provincial party committee office, the buses sent these people to their destination one by one. .

Mu Guoxing's car was full of staff drawn from the provincial party committee office. Looking at the clothes of these cadres, Mu Guoxing couldn't help laughing.Almost all of these people were wearing military camouflage uniforms, as if they were a unit going out to perform missions.From this point, it can be shown that these cadres are ready to go to the countryside to endure hardships.

After two batches of cadres went down, there were only eleven members of Mu Guoxing's team left in the spacious compartment. Looking at his team, except for a few old secretaries who were over forty years old, Young people accounted for the vast majority, and there were a few delicate girls among them.

After more than two hours of driving, the bus drove into the mountainous area. The bus shuttled among the high mountains, sometimes going up the mountain and sometimes going down the mountain.Appreciating the high mountains outside the car window, looming in the clouds and mist, this is a unique landscape in high-altitude areas. After walking for half an hour, it can be seen from the roadside signs that the vehicle has arrived at Hongfeng at this time. In the near mountain county of the city, none of the officials in the places they passed dared to greet them this time. This is not only due to the strict regulations in the documents of the Provincial Party Committee Office, but more importantly, these officials know that Mu Guoxing It's so powerful that anyone who dares to be disobedient will be criticized.

The car left the road and drove onto a bumpy dirt road. After more than ten minutes of bumps, a small mountain village was seen in the distance, and a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village.

The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers came and went one after another. When the villagers in national costumes saw the car approaching, they applauded together.Mu Guoxing knew that Santong's destination, Wanhua Village, Liuhe Town, had arrived this time.

A young and beautiful young woman greeted her. Mu Guoxing felt that this person was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this young woman was the one who went to petition when he first visited Hongfeng City. The female village head and Li Hong.

"Secretary Mu, hello, welcome to our small mountain village for inspection!"

He Lihong held Mu Guoxing's outstretched hand with both hands generously, and said excitedly: "Ever since I heard the news that you are coming to Santong in our village, the whole village is very happy, and they have been looking forward to you for a long time. coming!"

Mu Guoxing wanted to smile and said, "You are the village chief and Lihong, right? We are old acquaintances!"

One thousand 930 seven chapters of strange customs (1330 flowers plus more)

A young man next to him said: "Secretary Mu, He Lihong was elected as the branch secretary of our village during the general election at the end of last year. I am the village chief now! My name is He Youshan! In the future, if there is anything for the work team, I will let you know." I will run errands for you."

Mu Guoxing was also infected by the straightforward character of the people in the mountains. Only at this time can he feel the simple and harmonious relationship between people, and he no longer has to wear it all day long like in officialdom. Masked.

The ethnic minorities welcomed Mu Guoxing and his party with the etiquette they used to welcome distinguished guests. Girls in ethnic costumes lined up at the entrance of the village, each holding a tray with three large bowls on it. Behind them stood a young man holding a large wine jar.He Lihong smiled and said, "Secretary Mu, it's a custom here. When distinguished guests come, they must drink three bowls of horse wine."

When he came to a beautiful sister, Mu Guoxing heard Yiyi's toasting and singing. Accompanied by the singing, Mu Guoxing finished three bowls of rice wine. Two young men standing not far away raised their hands Shotguns were fired into the sky, followed by another four-gun salute.

He Lihong smiled and said, "Secretary Mu, setting off a cannon salute is the most solemn etiquette for us to receive guests."

After the salute, a group of young men with long drums on their waists danced the traditional long drum of this nation.

After drinking the three bowls of wine held by the ninth and last sister in full dress, He Lihong, He Youshan and the villagers who had been following Mu Guoxing were all restrained by Mu Guoxing's drinking capacity. shocked.As far as drinking capacity is concerned, there are some people who drink a lot in this village, but I have never seen someone like Mu Guoxing drink 27 bowls in a row.

What people in the mountains admire most is the bold man. Mu Guoxing's move conquered all the villagers in this small mountain village at once. Looking at the stunned villagers, Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "And the secretary, get off the horse and drink wine!" I've already finished drinking, can the following team members be exempted?"

Before talking to Lihong, he let out a burst of laughter: "Secretary Mu, in fact, all you need to do is express your opinion, and our rules do not require all guests to drink up!"

As soon as He Lihong finished speaking, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter.Mu Guoxing also knew what the villagers were laughing at. They must have thought that they were proud of fooling a provincial party secretary.Don't you know that Mu Guoxing also did a lot of homework before coming here, and he has a clear understanding of the customs and habits of this nation. He deliberately pretended to be confused and drank 27 bowls of wine. One can use this to draw closer to the villagers. Another purpose of the distance is to express the approachability of Mu Guoxing, the secretary of the provincial party committee.

After the traditional welcome ceremony for the ethnic minorities, the villagers helped the team carry their luggage. Surrounded by them, Mu Guoxing walked into the village.The houses in the village have a unified architectural style and neat layout, leaving obvious historical traces.Mu Guoxing has seen in the data that in the heyday of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, this village had more than 300 houses and more than 1000 villagers. After decades of reproduction, the population of this village has now reached 3000 .

The houses on the hillside are mostly built of green bricks with lime mixed with sand, the roofs are covered with tiles, the corners of the four eaves are raised, and there is a corridor between the houses.The horizontal streets and straight alleys are paved with stones, connecting each household in series.The history, culture and art, living customs, residential buildings, clothing features, folk songs and dances here all show the unique customs of this nation.

Walking into a farmer with a very ethnic style, a couple in their 50s greeted them with smiles on their faces. After He Lihong's introduction, Mu Guoxing found out that the owner of this family is He Chunshu, who is He Chunshu. Lihong's uncle, the hostess is named Jinfeng, and their only son is the only college student in this small mountain village who goes to the capital to study.The Security Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Bureau sent people to understand the situation some time ago, and finally assigned Mu Guoxing to this family.It can be seen that it is not a trivial matter for the secretary of the provincial party committee to go to the countryside in Santong. Mu Guoxing's decision has really embarrassed the staff below.

The master enthusiastically welcomed Mu Guoxing, his secretary Zheng Wei, and the guard Zhang Meng to the door, and skillfully set a fire to simmer water while saying some polite words.As for Mu Guoxing's entourage, the village head and Youshan have already arranged them to go to other farmers. All of this is going on in an orderly manner. It seems that the preparation work of the Provincial Party Committee Office is still in place. of.

After a while, the water boiled, and Mu Guoxing saw that He Chunshu put the small sand pot specially used for roasting tea on the brazier to heat up, then put in a small handful of tea leaves, and kept shaking the pot, waiting The color of the tea leaves is slightly yellow, and when they exude an attractive fragrance, they are poured into the boiling water, and there is only a sound of "chuck", and the tea leaves in the tank are churning, and some foam overflows out of the tank, like a blooming hydrangea.

At this time, several older villagers who were invited by the host to accompany the guests showed joy, and several young men and girls who were far away from the fire pond exclaimed in low voices.He Lihong said with a smile: "Secretary Mu, our nation believes that the flowers that bloom when brewing tea are a symbol of auspiciousness, and the bigger the better, these villagers are lamenting that they have not seen such a large and beautiful tea flower for a long time gone."

When the foam falls, He Chunshu pours into the boiling water again, and the tea is simmered. This is the first tea, and the people here also call it "Thunder Tea".When Mu Guoxing saw this tea, it was as amber in color and crystal clear, and he and Chunshu poured two or three drops into each cup, and added a little boiled water, then raised the cup with both hands and eyebrows, and handed it to Mu Guoxing.

Since ancient times, this nation has had the custom of "respecting people with wine and deceiving people with tea", so the tea in the cup is only enough for one or two sips.There is not much tea in the first course, and after tasting it carefully, it is different from the tea Mu Guoxing drank before. It tastes bitter and mellow, which has a special taste.
