Zhu Degang brought his dorm key over, Secretary Wan brought his dorm key over, and it turns out Secretary Hu also brought his dorm key over, and they opened a vacant room. He Hongmei and Gao Jiajia went to buy brand new bedding, which can be considered as settling the "alien visitors" Zhao Youqi and his group.
Several people first discussed official business:
After they return, they will arrange for a dedicated person to coordinate with Zhu Degang to discuss the specific matters of wild vegetable procurement, with a preliminary plan to start with a base of ten tons.
The price of rattan weaving products will be based on Huacheng's pricing, with an initial purchase of 3 million, and additional purchases based on the situation.
After discussing business matters, Qin Chizian had Gao Jiajia bring in a miniature model of the Zhao family's old mansion.
Zhao Youqi and Qin Chizian were just as fascinated as before, murmuring, "This is truly amazing. The last photo made my old man cry his eyes out. If I show him this, he'll be over the moon!"
"Xiao Qin, after we broke up last time, do you know how my old man evaluated you?" Qin Chizian shook his head.
Zhao Youqi: "I used to think that as a deputy department head, I was a real official, while you, as a mere section chief, were miles behind me. Just like you said before, after this incident, we may never have any intersection in our lives. But my old man at home said: Xiao Qin is worth befriending! There's a saying, 'If the heart is not upright, the eyes will be askew,' look at his clear eyes. A person like this has integrity, and as an official, such a person will definitely go far and high! To put it bluntly, it means that this person, whether as an official or as a person, has impeccable character and quality."
Chai Liang interjected with a smile: "So, you took the opportunity to get to know Xiao Qin before he made it big, and laid the groundwork in advance in the 'humble beginnings'?"
Zhao Youqi replied nonchalantly: "My main focus now is on the optical media, so strictly speaking, I'm not a proper official. Tell me, which department-level cadre would treat a small rural cadre as a brother?"
"I just feel that Xiao Qin has a good temperament. This kid is not flattering, and his character is worth getting to know for me and him," said Old Zhao.
A group of people chatted and laughed.
Qin Chizian suddenly remembered something else: "Brother Zhao, there's a collapsed area in your old house due to rain erosion. I found an iron box there, the one I mentioned to you last time..." As he spoke, he pulled out the rusty iron object from under the bed.
Zhao Youqi: "Is this true? I've forgotten all about it."
The box is the size of a large pillow, heavy to the touch.
Chai Liang said: "Lao Zhao, your family used to be landlords. There must be valuable things stored inside. Why don't you wait until we're all gone before opening it?"
Chen Ming said, "Exactly."
Zhao Youqi turned to the driver, Xiao Tian, and said, "You do it."
Xiao Tian looked at the box, gripped the lock ring with his hand, and as the veins on his arm bulged, he pulled down the rusty iron ring along with the chain and nose of the lock.
Zhao Youqi reached out and lifted the lid, revealing two dark, coarse porcelain jars sealed with wax. The people around fell silent. Zhao Youqi gestured to Xiao Tian: "Open them."
Xiao Tian brought out a jar, removed the wax seal, opened the lid, and revealed a jar full of silver coins!
Zhao Youqi remained unmoved, gesturing to Xiao Tian: "Open that one."
Another jar was opened, and Zhao Youqi reached in and pulled out a stack of deeds written on white cotton paper.
Zhao Youqi gestured and said, "Move the jar into your room, and take it with you. Let the old man handle it." With a strong kick, he then kicked the empty box under Qin Chizian's bed.
Chen Ming joked, " brother Zhao, it seems that our ancestors were quite wealthy."
But Zhao Youqi said, "I admire Xiao Qin even more. If he had opened it and kept it to himself, who would have known?"
Chen Ming and Chai Liang both nodded:
"Exactly."
"That's the point."
Qin Chizian: "Stop talking, everyone. I regret it now... No, after you all leave, I have to go dig again. Maybe I can still dig out gold bars or something."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Jian Junzhan: I don't know where he got two big soft-shelled turtles from and brought them over for a few people.
Master Liu made a pot of Turtle Soup, which left several young masters looking inexperienced:
Chen Ming said, " Master Liu, I'll serve myself another bowl!"
Chai Liang said, "If you're having another bowl, I'll have another one too."
Zhao Youqi no longer held back and gestured to Xiao Tian: "Don't let them take it all, bring me another bowl too."
Chen Ming ate and drank his fill, offered a cigarette to Master Liu, and asked, "Uncle, it's all turtle, so why does yours taste fresher and more flavorful than what we eat at the big restaurant?"
Master Liu took a contented drag on his cigarette and replied with a smile, "It's not that I have good skills, it's that Village Chief Jian has the real deal. We have a wild pond of several acres to the west. It's never been dry, and no one has ever put fish fry in it, but it's not only full of fish, but also the turtles we're eating. These creatures haven't been artificially fed. Who knows how many years it takes for them to grow this big. They are truly wild. Add to that our rural big iron pot and wood stove, it's the real deal. What you eat at the big restaurant may have good ingredients, but the process is not down-to-earth. Once they add all kinds of fancy seasonings, the original taste of the turtle is lost!"
Chai Liang nodded, "That's the point."
Zhao Youqi gestured to Xiao Tian, "Bring a cigarette from the car for Uncle Liu."
Master Liu was shocked, "I dare not. Look, today the Town mayor and secretary are here with a few others. I heard the county head and secretary are also here. You are honored guests, and it's too much for me, a mere cook, to handle!"
Zhao Youqi: "Uncle, today there are no distinguished guests or high officials, only a few younger generations who are here to freeload off your food and drink."
As the group chatted, Master Liu became emotional: "I have a jar of Tiger Bone Wine buried in my old courtyard for almost twenty years. The tiger bones were brought back by my old uncle from Northeast in the early years, and I haven't had the heart to open it all these years. Tomorrow, I will take you all there to open it, and each of you can take a pot home."
He also said: "Ever since Xiao Qin came to this courtyard, I've had a good feeling about him. If you play with him, he won't deceive you! We have a good relationship, and I like seeing you all get along with him."
Qin Chizian: "Uncle Liu, you haven't even been drinking, why are you talking nonsense?"
Master Liu said, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a cook. Not everyone can earn my respect."
Just then, Zhao Youqi received a call on his phone, frowned as he answered, then hung up and said to the people with him, "Let's go, we have a meeting tomorrow! You can't miss it!"
When it comes to serious matters, everyone acts like soldiers receiving orders. They grab their belongings and, in less than five minutes, the military jeep's headlights cut through the dark night and disappear into the distance.
