Chapter 191 Governor Jiao's Inspection

Just when Qi Tongwei convened the Party Committee meeting.

An inconspicuous minibus drove into Guying Town from Jinshan County.

After the car stopped, a group of people slowly got down, all wearing white lining and suit trousers.

The leader had a head full of silver hair, a thin body, a kind smile on his face, majesty hidden in his brows, and his every move showed the momentum of someone who could command the country.

This person is none other than Jiao Changhong, the current governor of Handong Province.

"Governor Jiao, this is Handong's recently popular tourist town, Guying Town," Mayor Guo Huairen introduced.

"Yes, seeing it in person is believing. It's very well done. It looks more modern than our Jingzhou." Jiao Changhong nodded with satisfaction.

Guo Huairen called his secretary and ordered, "Go to the town quickly and ask Qi Tongwei and Lin Manjiang to come over."

Upon hearing this, Governor Jiao waved his hand with an unhappy look on his face, "Don't disturb their work. I came here with my eyes, and I don't want to listen to their reports. I want to see with my own eyes whether this place is like what the Handong Daily said, a miracle town, a tourist town.

I have seen too many of these along the way. Some leading cadres only report good news to me and not bad news. They make false claims in newspapers and boast in front of me. But when I actually get to the local level, I find that things are in a mess.

I just hope this town isn't just another facade, I'm afraid I'll curse."

Guo Huairen had no choice but to give up and explained, "Governor Jiao, I have inspected this place before, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

"I hope so." Jiao Changhong said lightly, with no joy visible in his brows.

Guo Huairen looked bitter. He certainly knew why Jiao Changhong was so angry. It was all because of the previous inspection in Hekou County that made this leader extremely disappointed.

The group of people just strolled around the town on foot.

As you step into the Tianxi Village sign, rows of buildings that combine ancient and modern styles come into view.

The place is bustling with tourists coming and going and inspection teams, creating a very lively scene.

Compared to the last time Guo Huairen came, many new shops have opened on the street, interspersed in the food street, selling souvenirs and novel gadgets.

Guo Huairen kept his eyes on Governor Jiao. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the other person's face, he felt relieved.

"Drink, drink, Lao Zhang, I've already had three cups, you're raising fish."

"Come on, I'll do it too."

...

"Hey, isn't this Director Li? Are you here to inspect as well?"

"Hey, that's what you said. Only your Agriculture Bureau is allowed to inspect. Our Industry and Commerce Bureau is not allowed to inspect."

"Haha, yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. Come on, let's go, we met by chance, let's have a few drinks."

"Okay, you'll pay?"

"Of course!"

...

Walking through the food street, you can hear the sounds of eating and drinking, look at the people talking, and see the delicious food on the tables through the doors and windows.

Jiao Changhong's face darkened and he reprimanded, "Xiao Guo, is this a food city built for tourists, or for these people? Are they being entertained, or are they paying for it themselves?"

Guo Huairen wiped his forehead, not sure if it was sweat caused by the hot weather or nervousness.

This question is difficult to answer.

Because whether it is at your own expense or as a treat, it is a waste.

The higher-ups had repeatedly warned against excessive eating and drinking, and the reception was marked as four dishes and one soup.

That on the table is clearly out of spec.

I'm afraid no one here would believe that this group of people would pay for it themselves.

In the end, it’s still food and drink at public expense.

Guo Huairen gritted his teeth and said, "Governor Jiao... Governor Jiao, as far as I know, this is all at their own expense. There is a separate guesthouse in the town, but most people don't want to eat in the guesthouse."

"Really?" Jiao Changhong didn't believe it at all. He raised his hand to check the time. "Well, everyone is hungry, so let's go to the town canteen to have a meal."

There were staff members wearing armbands on the street. Guo Huairen asked one of them at random, and under their guidance, he arrived at the reception canteen.

Watching a large group of people walk in.

The canteen director and cook, Lao Li, was also stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, why is there still someone eating here? Is he new?

He walked up and asked, "Are you here for dinner, leaders?"

Jiao Changhong smiled and said, "Why, you are not welcome? What else can I do if I don't come to eat in the middle of the day?"

Cook Lao Li kept the instructions of the town leaders in mind, and when facing the leaders, he smiled as sincerely as possible and cooked the food as unpalatable as possible.

Don't fight back when hit, don't retaliate when scolded.

But the standards cannot be exceeded or lowered.

There are four dishes and one soup, three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Cook Lao Jin put on a smile and said, "Look at what you said. Everyone who comes here is a guest. Although our Lone Eagle Town is a remote town, we also uphold the concept of serving the people and let everyone eat and drink well."

Jiao Changhong gave Guo Huairen, who was already sweating profusely, a meaningful look and said, "Then you guys should get ready."

"Don't worry, leaders, we are ready. Please follow me."

"Are you ready for this? You knew we were coming?"

"Oh, no, no, we will prepare everything in advance at the restaurant, no matter who comes." Chef Lao Li led the way.

On the way, Jiao Changhong visited the reception canteen and asked himself: "Why is it that there are not many people eating in such a large reception canteen?"

"They all like to eat on the street. It's lively. They can invite friends and enjoy the mountain scenery of our Lone Eagle Town. It's much better than the canteen.

Our reception canteen is a little lacking.”

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the box. As soon as they entered, the stuffy air hit them in the face, making it hard to breathe.

Guo Huairen didn't care about being scolded: "Master, the weather is so hot now, can we change to an air-conditioned box?"

Cook Lao Li shook his head, still smiling, "Sir, I'm really sorry, this is a reception canteen and there is no air conditioning.

If you want an air-conditioned room, you need to eat at the food court. ”

"Then arrange us to the food street." Jiao Changhong tentatively said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, leader. You have to pay for the food court yourself. It's a restaurant jointly run by the people and is not under the jurisdiction of the reception canteen." Cook Lao Li answered while opening the window.

Although fresh air was let in, the sun's warmth was also let in.

Jiao Changhong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hey, really? Fine then, let's eat here."

This surprised the cook, Lao Li, and he asked, "Leaders, are you really determined to eat here?"

"This was arranged by you, so why are you asking us?" Jiao Changhong laughed, very satisfied with the other person's expression.

Cook Lao Li nodded, "Okay, I'll go prepare it for the leaders."

Jiao Changhong looked at Guo Huairen and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Guo, you didn't ask anyone to say hello in advance."

"Leader, I followed you step by step without saying a word, let alone greeting you."

"Okay, I believe you."

Soon, four dishes and a soup were served.

Considering that there were more than a dozen people, the chef, Lao Li, used large plates to serve the dishes.

Three meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup.

There are more vegetables than meat in the vegetarian dishes, the vegetarian dishes are seasonal vegetables, and the soup is also a light vegetable soup.

Guo Huairen was dissatisfied and cursed in his heart, saying that Qi Tongwei was too unreasonable. Even if he didn't prepare any delicacies from land and sea, he should at least prepare a table.

What's in front of me looks exactly like the food for migrant workers.

If my leader finds out about this, I won’t be able to help the other person anymore.

"Comrade, can you use this to entertain us?" Guo Huairen said as he winked at the cook, Lao Li.

Cook Lao Li was confused and scratched his head, still smiling, "Boss, I'm really sorry, the regulations above only allow four dishes and one soup.

But please rest assured, although it is four dishes and one soup, the ingredients are not simple, they are all grown and raised by ordinary people, pure natural and good for the body. "

Jiao Changhong looked at the cook seriously and suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay, you did a good job."

Then he looked at the group of people and took the lead in picking up the bowls and chopsticks, "Well, let's all sit down and start eating!"

When the big boss spoke, no matter how dissatisfied everyone was, they dared not show it. Everyone acted as if they were seeing delicacies from land and sea, and filled a big bowl with it.

As if they were all honest officials.

But after just a few bites, everyone's face changed.

“So hot! So hot!”

"The taste is a bit bland."

"No, there's no salt in this soup."

...

Cook Lao Li hid outside and listened to the noise inside, covering his mouth and laughing secretly: Add salt? Salt is very expensive.

Jiao Changhong looked indifferent. He was from Jiangbei and had no problem eating spicy food.

Moreover, he had suffered a lot when he was young, and dishes without salt were considered good food in that turbulent era.

Seeing that the leader had an unusual expression, everyone stopped complaining and just focused on eating.

It is a bit bland, but the original flavor of the dish itself is unique.

Jiao Changhong thought it was okay.

...

Chapter 192 Governor Jiao's Inspection 2

"Hey, leader, do you want to go for an inspection?"

Jiao Changhong and his group had just walked out of the reception canteen.

Suddenly, a few old men rushed over on a brightly colored human-powered tricycle.

The guards behind were shocked and stood in front of them.

What's more, his hand has already reached for the pistol at his waist.

The tricycle has a beautiful canopy that makes it look very refined, and the clean and simple seats in the back are more than enough for two people.

Governor Jiao found it very interesting. He waved his hand to let the guards move aside and asked with a kind smile, "Old man, what are you doing? How did you know we were going to inspect?"

Old Sun, the tricycle driver at the front of the line, explained confidently: "This is not difficult. Secretary Qi told us that people who eat at the food court may not necessarily go to inspect.

But if someone is eating in this reception canteen, they must be preparing for an inspection, so there is absolutely no problem in receiving guests here."

Jiao Changhong nodded and praised, "Not bad, you know what, your Secretary Qi is quite smart and has the talent to do business.

Let’s sit down then.”

Guo Huairen stopped him and said, "Leader Jiao, the comrades sitting in the back are too far apart, and safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Little Guo, if you ask me, you are just too far away from the people. These are all ordinary people. What danger are you afraid of?" Jiao Changhong pointed at Guo Huairen, then looked at Lao Sun and smiled kindly, "Master, how much do you want to pay?"

"It depends on where you go. The thousand-acre peach forest and the mountain spring water products are ten yuan each. The rich farmer's pig farm is far away and is fifteen yuan. If you go to all three places, it will be fifty yuan."

"That's not right. Why are all three places expensive?" Guo Huairen pointed out the problem.

The three-wheeled old man looked disdainful and said, "Young man, this is your first time here, right? These three places are not in the same line, so you have to go back later."

Jiao Changhong was amused. "Look, you are a college student but you are not as good as a master.

But Master, this price is a bit high. You know, we are in Jingzhou, and it doesn’t cost that much to take a taxi. "
