"Let's talk about Li Hugang. He's a schemer. When I was in Bei Zhou, he was still a section chief of the city government's logistics department. I can't help but admire his methods. "Of course, it's all thanks to his good service to Qiu Yuanhang. There are some things that you should know, so I won't say more. "He and Lin Haifeng have conflicts, but they also have interests. Overall, they get along well.
"The third group is the 'hardliners' led by you. "The reason why I put you in this group is because you, Yongzhi, and Zhiyuan are very bold in dealing with problems. You dare to say and do things, and you dare to touch the interests of interest groups. That's impressive, but it comes with offending a lot of people. Am I right?"
Elder Tan's analysis was incisive and very thorough. Guo Jinzhu repeatedly nodded and said, "Elder Tan, listening to your words is better than reading for three years. This is indeed the situation in Bei Zhou's officialdom. Overall, Yongzhi and I are still in a weak position. People's hearts are not what they used to be. "
Tan Lao returned to the case and said, "Based on my analysis, the attitude of all parties in this case is very clear. Tian Chunqiu wants to keep his position and try his best to suppress this matter. "As for Li Hugang, as the person involved, he has already thought of a way out. Even if you have something on him, you won't be able to shake him. "As for Lin Haifeng, he hasn't expressed his position yet. It's actually a kind of attitude. He's calmly observing the actions of all parties and waiting for the right time. Once the time is ripe, he will not hesitate to stand on that side.
"You've said a lot, but the most important thing is the attitude of the higher-ups. As long as the higher-ups don't pursue the matter, no matter how happy you are, you won't be a threat to Li Hugang. "You said that Qiu Yuanhang will be coming this afternoon for a survey, and you were asked to participate. If I'm not wrong, the survey is just a cover. The real purpose is to support Li Hugang. "So, you have to be very careful. Don't let your guard down."
Guo Jinzhu panicked. "Tan Lao, so we can only sit and wait?"
"No, no, no!" Tan Lao waved his hand. "Our next task is to wait."
"Wait?"
"Yes!" Tan Lao said, "We must wait for an opportunity, wait for Tian Chunqiu to be caught in a cocoon of his own making, wait for Li Hugang to give himself away. When the time comes, you will make your move, and victory will be in your grasp. Actually, this is also good. It will be very helpful for your next step. "
Guo Jinzhu was confused. He did not understand what Tan Lao meant by "wait". He looked at Zhang Zhiyuan, but Zhang Zhiyuan also shook his head to show that he did not understand.
Tan Lao saw through their doubts and said, "Let me put it this way. If you want to accomplish something great, you must learn to be patient. Didn't Tian Chunqiu want to suppress this matter? Do you think it's possible? Impossible! In addition, you have Ma Linhui in your hands. He's a big clown. Will Li Hugang just stand by and watch? Definitely not. He will also make some small moves behind the scenes, so you must keep a close eye on Ma Linhui. "
"Also, I will help you inform the Provincial Government. I can't just stand by and watch Yongzhi be in this state!" Tan Lao smashed the teacup in his hand on the floor. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He felt that they dared to touch Hou Yongzhi, which was not giving him face. Since they dare to fall out with him, he will not let them off easily.
With Tan Lao backing him up, everything became easier. Guo Jinzhu was touched. "Tan Lao, I thank you on behalf of Yongzhi!"
Old Tan was angry just now, so he was a little angry. He sat there and took a deep breath. He waved his hand and said, "I raised the two of you, so I can't just watch others attack you. Tell them clearly, don't think that I'm useless now that I'm retired. As long as I'm alive, they can forget about it!"
Lu Yiwei, who was cooking in the kitchen, overheard their conversation. Especially when he heard how Tan Lao protected the two of them, he felt sour in his heart. "Why didn't I meet such a good leader? If not, I wouldn't be in this state."
After talking about Hou Yongzhi, Tan Lao asked about Zhang Zhiyuan's enterprise restructuring in Nanyang. "How's it going on your side? Is everything going well? "
Zhang Zhiyuan replied. "It's going well. Only the Erbao Coal Mine is left."
"Okay." Tan Lao advised. "You must act fast. Take advantage of this opportunity to cut through the Gordian knot. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. What about Su Qiming? How are you getting along with him? "
"It's fine. Mayor Su can't be bothered with the restructuring. He is busy with the construction of the cement factory."
"Oh," Tan Lao said thoughtfully. "It's fine as long as he doesn't interfere with you. Let him do what he wants." Then he said to Guo Jinzhu, "Jinzhu, Zhiyuan's progress is still a bit slow. You must pay more attention to him. Su Qiming is just a temporary worker in Nanyang. When the time is right, promote him and let him train at the grassroots level for a few years. He will be a good helper for you in the future."
Guo Jinzhu nodded. "Don't worry, Tan Lao. I know what I'm doing."
"Okay!" Tan Lao regained his cheerful mood. He patted his belly and said, "I wonder how Little Lu's cooking is going. I'm hungry. Haha."
After hearing this, Lu Yiwei immediately ran out and said respectfully, "Tan Lao, the food is ready. Let's eat."
"Okay!" Tan Lao sat up on the chair and said, "Then let's try Little Lu's cooking. Haha."
The group sat down. Tan Lao stared at the colorful dishes on the table in shock. He looked at the shy Lu Yiwei from time to time and pointed at the dishes and asked, "Did you make all these?"
Lu Yiwei nodded. "My cooking is not good. I hope Tan Lao won't mind."
Tan Lao pointed at a dish and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Yiwei quickly introduced, "This is vegetable meatball. It's made from fern from the mountains and mixed with buckwheat flour to form a ball. When it's steamed, it looks like this. There's no oil in this dish. Fern and buckwheat are good for lowering blood fat and are good for the body. "
Tan Lao couldn't wait to take a bite. After taking a few bites, he stopped chewing and stood there in a daze. The others held their breath and looked at Tan Lao's expression. They thought the taste was bad, but Tan Lao was beaming with joy. He gave Lu Yiwei a thumbs up and praised, "Good, good, it's delicious. It's been a long time since I've tasted the original flavor of my hometown. Little Lu, you've really made me look at you in a new light. I've troubled you."
Receiving Tan Lao's praise, Lu Yiwei was very happy. But he hid his excitement in his heart and said, "As long as Tan Lao likes it."
Tan Lao pointed at another dish and asked, "What's this?"
Lu Yiwei introduced, "This is Hericium Mushroom Dough. Mince the Hericium Mushroom from the mountains, stir-fry the other ingredients over a warm fire, then wrap it up like dumplings. Sprinkle some sesame on top and roast it until it's golden brown. Hericium Mushroom is also known as Mountain Treasure Monkey Head and Seafood Bird's Nest. Eating it can strengthen one's immune system. "
This was the first time Tan Lao saw Hericium Mushroom being eaten this way. He grabbed it with his hands and ate it without caring about his image. He couldn't help praising, "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's mellow and delicious. It has the fragrance of malt and the tenderness of Hericium Mushroom. This is simply a delicacy of the world. Haha."
Guo Jinzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan saw that Tan Lao was so happy and couldn't help nodding at Lu Yiwei.
After eating the Hericium Mushroom Dough, Tan Lao pointed at the middle dish and said, "I've eaten this before. It's called Shredded Pork in Bean Sauce, right?"
Lu Yiwei explained, "You said that you're a vegetarian, so I didn't dare to put meat in it. This dish is indeed made according to the method of Shredded Pork in Bean Sauce. But this' shredded pork 'is not meat, but Abalone Mushroom. It's smooth and chewy, and the taste isn't any worse than meat. "
Tan Lao picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. He nodded and said, "It's just as you said. It's delicious." Then he pointed at the middle dish in the steamer basket and said, "I've eaten this before. This is called Naked Oats Roll, right?"
"Yes. Naked oats are mixed with warm water and rolled into a roll while it's still hot. Then, it's placed in the steamer basket and steamed for about 20 minutes. Naked oats and buckwheat have the same effect. They both contain amino acids and are very good at inhibiting cholesterol and high blood fat. "
Tan Lao took a bite from his bowl. As he ate, tears rolled down his cheeks. Then, he started sobbing, which surprised everyone present. Guo Jinzhu quickly comforted him, "Tan Lao, what's wrong? You don't like it?"
Lu Yiwei became even more nervous. He quickly apologized, "Tan Lao, I didn't know that you didn't like it. Please forgive me!"
Wiping his tears with his shirt, Tan Lao waved his hand. "Little Lu, you did a great job. I'm very touched. Eating this food that I haven't had for a long time reminded me of my wife who passed away many years ago."
Tan Lao briefly paused before he continued, "When we got married, it was during the Cultural Revolution. Both of us were teachers, and our students were constantly criticizing us. My wife's health wasn't good to begin with, so I begged them not to make things difficult for her and vent all their anger on me. But they didn't listen to me. It was as if they were on steroids, and they nearly killed her. After the Cultural Revolution ended, I returned to work, but she fell ill and couldn't go to the podium anymore. "
"Later on, the Cultural Revolution had just ended, and we needed a lot of talents. So I was transferred to the Provincial Party Committee's office to do some paperwork. I was busy day and night, and I barely went home. But she was always worried about me. She knew that I liked to eat naked oats, so she would steam a pot for me every night. At that time, our family was poor, and naked oats were the best food. But I still felt sweet when I ate it. "
"Later on, when life got better, she passed away due to her illness. She didn't have a single good day, and she left me just like that. I owe her too much. Since then, I have never tasted naked oats again. I've tried it in restaurants, but it never tasted the same. And today, the naked oats roll that Little Lu made for me is very similar to the one that my wife made for me. It's too memorable. Little Lu, I thank you. "After that, he bowed.
