what?

Mu Qinghong was a little confused at the time. Why did he ask about her in the middle of the conversation?

I am just an uneducated person, so how can I have the qualifications to make any comments on such major development events in the county?

How could Lu An not understand Mu Qinghong's idea, so he immediately told her: "Sister Hong, you can speak freely about your ideas. Sister Hong, I know your cooking skills. If you can participate, you may be able to win a prize. By then, your Red Star Restaurant will become a famous brand in our county!"

Mu Qinghong shook her head repeatedly: "Lu An, you are too flattering to me. With my limited cooking skills, I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes. How can I be called a culinary expert? What kind of competition is this?"

Lin Kuifan continued, "This is exactly what we want, to go deep into the residential areas and the small streets and alleys. Look at these squirrels, mandarin fish, and seafood. They are delicious, but they are out of touch with the masses. No one eats delicacies from land and sea every day. Only home-cooked dishes belong to the people's food festival."

Led by the county party secretary, other county leaders also urged Mu Qinghong to participate. They all hoped to see a true People's Food Festival.

Some of them had long heard that there was a treasure restaurant hidden in the streets of the packaging factory, which must be Mu Qinghong's Red Star Restaurant. It was a pity that they had been too busy with work to have the chance to taste it.

Some praised that if Mu Qinghong participated, it would add a lot of color to the food festival. If there were only chefs from state-owned restaurants, everyone would have been fed up with it. We need contestants like Mu Qinghong who are rooted in the masses.

Some even assured Mu Qinghong that the food festival would be fair, just and open, and that Mu Qinghong would receive the corresponding honors.

Lin Kuifan finally said: "In addition to the special honorary certificates and bonuses for the Food Festival, the county will also provide some preferential policies."

Mu Qinghong was really confused. Why did these county leaders seem to be begging her to participate?

Lu An smiled. He knew very well that Lin Kuifan and other county officials were really begging Mu Qinghong to attend. After all, at this point in the dinner, how could they not understand that the key person today was Mu Qinghong? If they didn't please her, their previous attitude towards the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would only be halfway accomplished.

"If it's so good, why don't you join us, Sister Hong? I've been eating at your house for so long, and I have confidence in your cooking skills!"

Lu An also said: "And Secretary Lin has said that there will be some preferential policies. Won't your business license and health certificate be easily solved by then?"

what?

Mu Qinghong's almond-shaped eyes widened. Could such a thing be said in front of the county leaders?

As a result, Lin Kuifan immediately said: "That's right. When the time comes, the county will make special arrangements for these relevant licenses. Not only that, the county will also provide taxation policies to encourage the operation and development of individual industrial and commercial households."

Not only will they not check you, on the contrary they will make special arrangements to help you complete the formalities.

Mu Qinghong then nodded heavily: "Okay, I will support the county's activities and try not to disappoint the leaders and achieve good results."

Hearing this, Lin Kuifan and the others smiled with relief.

Although Mu Qinghong was ignorant and did not understand the twists and turns in the officialdom, these county leaders took the initiative to offer money and honors even though Lu An did not even give her a hint.

Such a man is really amazing!

Lu An then raised his glass to Lin Kuifan for the first time: "I believe that the Food Festival, under the leadership of Secretary Lin, will definitely add a very representative business card to Pingjiang!"

At this point, the incident of Lu An being mistakenly handcuffed in the afternoon was completely over.

Lin Kuifan clinked glasses with a smile, saying that it was all thanks to Lu An's opinions and suggestions. If the food festival was a success, Lu An would definitely have contributed at least half of the credit.

"But Pingjiang is still too poor after all. I just hope this food festival can boost some economic development."

Lin Kuifan also asked Lu An: "Team Leader Lu is a provincial cadre. Do you have any valuable opinions and suggestions?"

Lu An hesitated for a moment: "I am a young man and I am in the Commission for Discipline Inspection. In principle, I should not make any comments on this issue, especially in front of Secretary Lin. It would be a shame to show off one's skills in front of an expert."

Lin Kuifan raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised, because he was just asking that question. In his imagination, Lu An might reply that everyone has their own expertise, and he was young and didn't dare to show off his skills in front of an expert, so he didn't expect Lu An to really respond.

"It doesn't matter. Today is not a meeting. Team Leader Lu, please speak freely." Lin Kuifan said.

Lu An nodded: "Then I'd better speak out my immature thoughts. Please ask Secretary Lin to help me check and review the papers."

"In my opinion, Pingjiang's biggest problem right now is that there is too much surplus labor!"

"Pingjiang is a large agricultural and populous county with a population of more than one million, of which more than 800,000 are farmers. However, with the policy of contracting production to households and the promotion of scientific and mechanized planting, in fact, the fields do not need so much labor except during the double harvest season. In fact, there is a huge surplus of labor in the countryside."

"This is a good thing. It has increased labor enthusiasm and farmers' income, but the benefits that can be generated in rural areas are ultimately limited!"

"In addition, it is not a good thing to have a large number of young and middle-aged people in the countryside when it is not the busy farming season."

Lin Kuifan's expression changed from initial surprise and amusement to seriousness.

As an educated youth who had once gone to the countryside to work, Lin Kuifan had a deeper understanding of the countryside than Lu An.

Even the purpose of his original plan to go to the countryside for inspection was this.

"So how do we solve this problem?"

Lin Kuifan asked the question sincerely, because the public security problems caused by too many idle young and middle-aged people in rural areas are no less serious than the problem of Lu An being handcuffed. If it really gets out of hand, it may be more serious than Lu An's case.

Therefore, not only Lin Kuifan, but also all the county leaders including County Mayor Li Chenggang and Political and Legal Committee Secretary Zhang Weifeng, turned their attention to hear what insights this young cadre from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection could come up with.

But deep down they didn't believe that Lu An could really say anything. After all, as Lu An himself said, he was a college graduate and a cadre of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. What insights could he come up with on such issues concerning the masses and economic development?

Secondly, the current problem of surplus young and middle-aged people in rural areas is not unique to Pingjiang, but a widespread problem in rural areas across the country.

How come thousands of cadres from the grassroots to the central government can't come up with a good solution? What kind of profound ideas can you, a young man who hasn't even grown all his hair, have? I'm afraid you are just shouting slogans about economic development and deliberately showing off here.

Even Zhao Hu gently pulled at his messy clothes, indicating that it was enough and he should not embarrass himself.

So, under the expectant or indifferent gazes of everyone, Lu An slowly raised two fingers: "My ideas are mainly divided into two points, labor export and investment attraction."
