Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Although folk dance halls and a series of social activities such as ballroom dancing were banned in China during this period, ballroom dances were still held at high levels and were very popular.

What's more, Mr. Shen also came here. He came to Beijing to attend the pre-conference meeting in advance, and he doesn't live at the Beijing Office. He came here specially to support Zhang Xingming.

During the meeting, Deputy Wu, Director Wen, Director Liu, Deputy Director Xiao, and the Beijing Military Region, anyway, direct or indirect, all of Zhang Xingming's relationships in Beijing in the past few years have come. I didn't come in person, but I also sent my secretary or family members to come, and everyone gathered together.Although they all came here in a private capacity, who would dare to underestimate the power of these people coming together?That night, countless eyes in the capital stared at the Liaodong Office in Beijing.

The old man was very happy that night, and the laughter continued throughout the night.

Zhang Xingming is too young to show his face on such occasions, anyway, as long as everyone who comes here knows what's going on.The party was organized in the name of the Liaodong delegation, except for a few close people who went directly to Zhang Xingming to congratulate, most people thought it was for the old man's face, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can come, this is love , it's the same on the old man's head, Zhang Xingming naturally knows it well.

At this time, buffet parties are more popular in China, that is, buffets like those in foreign countries. Everyone can walk around and chat at will. .

After the party started for a while, some people from the old man's side sat to one side, the music started, some people started dancing in the middle, and the younger ones gathered on the other side to talk. This kind of party is also a social platform and a good place to expand contacts.

Zhang Xingming had nothing to do, so he ran to the dining area with Li Chun and the others to get something to eat. He was really hungry, and he hadn't eaten anything since getting off the plane, so he drank some water.

Li Chun and the others are also hungry, saying that this place is not dangerous. Several people took food and sat on the side table to eat. Zhang Xingming moved around here with the plate to eat. , Zhang Xingming likes this kind of buffet. You don't have to worry about what you want to eat. It's all here. Just grab a piece if you want to see it. It's convenient and delicious.

The chefs at the Beijing Office are quite capable, but it's normal. To save face, it must be done properly.

In fact, most Chinese dishes are not suitable for this kind of buffet party. Chinese dishes should pay attention to integrity, color, shape, utensils and taste.But everything is afraid of delving into it, and the task has to be done. More and more leaders like this kind of free hospitality. They don't need to be serious or behaved, and it is convenient to talk and talk about things.

In a formal Chinese banquet, as long as you are seated, you are limited to the two or three people who talk and die by your side. In fact, it is really inconvenient.

So with the efforts of some chefs, a batch of dishes specially adapted to the buffet party were developed, not to mention pastries, buns and dumplings, and the dishes were also made into individual ones. When eating, take out a few pieces, Just pour some prepared juice on it. Although it is not as tasty as the main dish, it is not difficult to eat it.

There are also stir-fried dishes, green vegetables do not have high requirements for shape and color, just stir-fry them and put them on the table.

Zhang Xingming took a bite of this, a piece of that, a bowl on one side, a spoonful on the other and ate around the dining table, no one paid attention to it anyway, besides, no matter how old he was, no one would say he was unruly.

The service staff of the Beijing Office was serving the table, and they covered their mouths happily when they saw Zhang Xingming’s appearance. The chef came over and asked him what he wanted to eat, and wanted to go down and make a special one for him. Zhang Xingming shook his head and refused, that’s all. Shaking to eat, while eating, I shot my eyes at the overjoyed waiter.

Many people came here today, the old man's face is still big enough, and Zhang Xingming's own influence is actually not small, there will be no shortage of young people at such a gathering, and the old people know that such an occasion is for young people It is an opportunity to make friends and expand the circle of friends, so usually the juniors are brought over, or the representatives of the juniors are directly invited to participate.

At this time, the domestic prince circle has just emerged. With the development of the economy, the opening up to the outside world, and the stability of power, classes will naturally arise. These little guys who came out with gold in their mouths are naturally superior and think more than ordinary people of the same age There are many, and the education and vision they received are indeed different. I knew the importance of the network of contacts early on, so I naturally flocked to such a party.

These people are also divided into circles, probably by age. In fact, the level of the family accounts for a considerable proportion. Why do you, a department-level family, hang out with other people from the sub-nationality?Don't feel inferior?Of course, there are exceptions, even if it looks pleasing to the eye, there is no way, but this kind of situation is relatively rare.

At this moment, the young people in the field were divided into three small circles, and they got together to talk.

The entire second floor of the Beijing Office is the banquet hall, which is specially prepared for this kind of large-scale party. It has a size of nearly two hundred square meters, and there are four pillars in the middle, which divide the whole hall into several parts. The innermost part is the dining hall. district.

People with status and status are all active in the middle area. There are lower-ranked people at the door, and the door is guarded there. Leaders can take a face when they come out and go in. What if they are caught by some eyes, right? ?

And here is the world of young people.

The three circles are scattered and integrated here. There are more than a dozen people, and there are a few obviously older people who are obviously cross-circle. The weaker side can also insert a few words with the other side.Weakness means that the few here are obviously younger. In the same class circle, if you are young, you have no right to speak. Who made you born late.

Zhang Xingming glanced casually and didn't care about it, he just focused on eating his own food.Li Chun and the others were sitting in the corner on the other side. It was obvious that the people sitting there were accompanied by bodyguards, and there were about a dozen people, but there was no communication between these people, except for Li Chun and the others who were eating. The rest sat there quietly with glasses of water or drinks.

I just ate a piece of fish and poured it with bright red sweet and sour sauce. Zhang Xingming was full of saliva after eating it. After a while, he reached out and took two more pieces. It is golden and golden, but it doesn't feel hard when you bite it, but it is very soft. When you pour it with juice, you can take a bite and it is full of fish flavor, sweet and sour, very delicious.

The editor in charge of this book has changed, and it has been decided that the title of the book will be changed to "Rebirth in the 70s" in the near future, and the introduction will also be revised after the title is changed.Thanks to the book friends who made the above comments.

Chapter 519 Cai Bao

Standing in front of the kitchen counter, Zhang Xingming was hesitating whether to take another piece of fish, when a pair of chopsticks stretched out from the side, and with a few strokes, he emptied the remaining piece of fish.

When Zhang Xingming came to his senses, the fish piece had been caught. He turned his head and looked over. A fat man slightly taller than Zhang Xingming was adding juice to the fish piece. A few tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce were poured down. The fat man nodded in satisfaction and took his chopsticks After mixing, he licked the tip of the chopsticks, clicked his tongue, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, squinting his eyes to eat.

Zhang Xingming raised his eyebrows, turned his head and picked up a few pieces of beef, poured pepper juice on it, and walked aside.

After taking a step, he felt his clothes being ripped, turned his head, and the fat man was looking at him, and said, "I didn't notice it, are you going to catch fish too? Come, just eat it from me. This fish is really good. Eat, every time I come here to eat, I stare at this dish."

Zhang Xingming was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Thank you, it's the same as I eat this. You can eat it. It's rare to have a special dish that suits you. You have to enjoy it."

The fat man put a piece of fish into his mouth, nodded his head and said: "Yes, there are not many things going well in this life, and you have to make enough money when you meet them. Brother, you and I want to go together." He handed over the plate a little more Say, "Come, let's go."

Zhang Xingming smiled and took a piece from his plate, and said, "Okay, thank you. I'll do with this piece. I ate a few pieces just now, and I'll eat something else."

The fat man said, "Let's go together. It's boring to eat alone. I'll eat something else too. Which one do you think is delicious?"

Zhang Xingming swallowed the fish, pointed to the kitchen table and said, "I just ate that meatball. It is very elastic. There is bone broth in it. You can pour it with salty and peppery sauce. If you like sweet and sour, you should be fine too."

The fat man came over with a ball, dipped some sweet and sour sauce on the plate in his hand, and threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and nodded, "It's delicious, fragrant, thick, and melty, and it should taste better with salty sauce. Come and eat the fish nuggets, I'll change the plate."

Regardless of Zhang Xingming's answer or not, he took the chopsticks and moved half of the fish on the plate to Zhang Xingming's plate, then pulled the rest of the fish into his mouth, turned around and went to get a new plate, leaving Zhang Xingming stunned Looking at his messy back.

The waiter next to him couldn't hold back for a moment, he burst out laughing with a "poof", and hurriedly turned around and ran back.

Zhang Xingming hadn't recovered yet, the fat man came over with a new plate, Zhang Xingming was even more embarrassed now, and he couldn't throw away the fish pieces in front of others, after looking at it, he really liked it, forget it, eat it Alright.

Throwing the fish cubes into his mouth, he watched the fat man making the meatballs and pouring the sauce while eating, and asked Zhang Xingming if it was salty sauce. Zhang Xingming nodded, finished the fish cubes, and handed the plate to the waiter. The waiter took it and handed him a new plate.The taste of sweet and sour should not be mixed with others.

After eating something and drinking a bowl of hot soup specially made by the chef, Zhang Xingming let out a long and comfortable breath, touched his stomach, turned his head to see that Li Chun and the others were also drinking soup, and nodded.Looking at the fat man, he was still eating. While eating, he searched for something on the kitchen table with his eyes. After swallowing something, he walked up to Zhang Xingming and asked in a low voice, "How are you drinking that soup? Why didn't I look at it?"

Zhang Xingming smiled, compared with his hands, and asked the waiter to bring a bowl of soup to the fat man. Although the dishes were all hot, it must be a cold meal. It was winter again, and his stomach was still a little cold after eating. A bowl of hot soup is really enjoyable and comfortable.

The waiter went down, and a bowl of soup came up after a while. Zhang Xingming helped the fat man take it, and said to the waiter, "Go to the old man's table and ask them if they want to drink. It's getting cold in the room."

There is no air conditioner in this day and age, and the heating is all relying on boiler heaters. The space in this room is a bit large, and with people coming and going, the room temperature is a bit low. Young people are fine, but old people may get cold if they sit for a long time.This is also the reason why the general banquet halls and meeting rooms were mostly located on the second floor in that era.

The waiter agreed and walked over quietly.The fat man here finished his hot soup, burped contentedly, patted his stomach, put down the empty bowl, stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Xingming's shoulder and said, "Dude, you are familiar with the people here, Liaodong of?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Liaodong, Zhang Xingming, you can just call me Erming. What about you?" Although the fat man behaved a little rough, you can't just judge people by these, and although his behavior is rough, it is not attractive. People are disgusted, at least Zhang Xingming has a good sense of him.

The fat man put one hand on Zhang Xingming's shoulders, rubbed his stomach with the other, and said, "My name is Cai Bao, everyone calls me Cai Zi. My old man is from the Ministry of Education. He is sitting over there. I just come to eat and drink with him, haha. There is no food at home. What about you, who is in your family?"

Zhang Xingming said, "I'm sitting there too." There was a group of old men sitting there, and the only one who could be said to be from Liaodong was Mr. Shen himself.

The fat man turned his head and took a look, and said, "Commissioner Shen? This is your first visit to the capital? I haven't seen you before."

Zhang Xingming said: "Isn't it the first time to come to the capital, but it's the first time to participate in this kind of activity. It seems that you always participate in it?"

Cai Bao patted his stomach and said: "It's okay to be idle. My old man always talks about seeing the world. He hasn't seen much in this world. He has eaten a lot of good things. Hehe, it doesn't cost money. How nice it is."

Zhang Xingming asked: "How old are you this year?"

Cai Bao looked around on the kitchen table and said, "21, junior, I'm at the National People's Congress, how about you?"

Zhang Xingming said, "I'm only in high school, and I'm younger than you, do you still want to eat?"

Cai Bao rubbed his stomach and said, "No, I'm full. I'll see what else I haven't eaten. Hehehe, I can't help it. I can't control my eating. Let's go sit there for a while and listen to the food." They are bragging, let me introduce you to two people."

With Zhang Xingming half in his arms, he walked to the young man's side, pulled away the chair, pulled Zhang Xingming to sit down, and said to the person next to him who would be steady, "Third brother, this is from Liaodong Committee member Shen's family, Zhang Xingming, Erming , the first time here. Erming, this is the third brother, his old man is from the Ministry of Metallurgy."

Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand to the third brother and said, "Hello, third brother, just call me Er Ming."

The third brother looked at Zhang Xingming, reached out to shake his hand, and nodded.
