Baiyue Cave Master

Chapter 186 Dinner Party

Chinese people like to be officials because of the official-centered mentality. Whether in terms of social status or the social resources controlled, being an official is the only choice.

It’s just that some people like chaos because chaos brings more opportunities.

Some people like stability because stability is the only way to keep everything they have.

But these are of no importance to Wang Yuanchao, because all of this is very slim for Wang Yuanchao who has no hard power to support him.

The main reason is that in this era, if you want to join the organization in this decade, you have to check three generations back.

If Wang Yuanchao really waited until the college entrance examination was reopened, he would already be 28 years old, plus he would have spent four years in college.

Even if Wang Yuanchao had the opportunity to be assigned as a cadre in an institution after graduating from university, he would have been 32 years old.

And you have to start from the basics, everything has to start from scratch. There is really no point in being in politics without the advantage of age.

By the end of your life, you may have the opportunity to become a minor official, but it is more likely that you will be just a clerk your entire life.

Such a life obviously did not have much appeal to Wang Yuanchao who had traveled through time.

What really attracted Wang Yuanchao was the advantage of being familiar with the trajectory of social development.

After the reform and opening up, I will build a conglomerate and become a local tyrant in my own company. This kind of life will be refreshing enough and worth my time travel.

Wang Yuanchao specially arranged for people to clean the farm inside and out with water, and explained to the two statisticians the importance of the inspection tomorrow.

I left work early, went home, and started preparing for dinner in the evening.

After returning home, I saw Widow Du and Zhang Yuanyuan lying on the lounge chairs on the porch, eating melon seeds and drinking tea. The radio next to them was playing a Northeast Errenzhuan. They were living a leisurely life.

Stepped forward and asked:

"Mom, wife, is the captain here today?"

"It's here. The team leader sent a big goose over this afternoon. He said he and Secretary Zeng and the others would come to our house for a drink tonight."

“Well, yes, all the village cadres will come today and have a drink and talk about something.

We will cook dinner early tonight, so you two can eat first.

I'm discussing something with the captain and others, and I don't know how long it will take.

Don't let you two go hungry."

"Okay, I've already plucked the goose and stewed it. Shall we start now?"

"Yes, I went to the fish pond to catch grass carp for a day. I also brought back a few pounds of meat. Now I will start cooking.

Tonight we'll make a pot of goose stew, braised pork, braised grass carp, stir-fried spinach, and a plate of salted duck eggs to go with the wine."

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard that there was braised grass carp to eat, she smiled happily and said:

"Braised grass carp is delicious. I like it."

Widow Du then said:

"Okay, braised grass carp and braised pork, your cooking is delicious.

Let's do it together, I'll do it, and you'll direct and season it."

"Okay, Mom, let's do it together.

Wife, you like to eat braised grass carp, so let's make more today. We will cook the grass carp weighing more than ten pounds in the fish pond.

That should be enough for dinner.”

"Okay, sir, thank you."

"Haha, there's no need to be polite between us young couple."

Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.

Wang Yuanchao and Du Guafu were busy in the kitchen for two hours.

After the meal was ready, Wang Yuanchao asked Widow Du and his young wife to eat in the kitchen first.

Then Wang Yuanchao moved the eight-immortal table from the kitchen to the yard and took out four benches.

Then he brought up the prepared food and dishes one by one, lay down on the lounge chair on the porch, and waited for the captain and others to arrive.

Not long after, the team leader took the lead, carrying five bottles of Moutai liquor, opened the gate of Wang Yuanchao's courtyard, and walked in with Secretary Zeng and others.

Wang Yuanchao saw this and stood up to greet him, laughing and saying:

"Haha, Captain, are you replacing your muskets with cannons today?

Why are we drinking such good wine today?"

The captain said with a smile:

"Ha, this wine was made by a few of us. Good wine goes well with good food.

We haven't had your cooking for quite a while.

Today is a rare opportunity, so I have to make the best of it."

A group of people were walking and laughing, looking very happy.

Now, the cadres of the Red Flag Brigade, like Wang Yuanchao, have no shortage of cigarettes and alcohol at home.

After the group sat down, Wang Yuanchao opened the bottle of wine with a smile, filled everyone's glasses, raised his small bowl and said:

"Secretary Zeng, Team Leader, Team Leader Liu, Director Yang, our Red Flag Team has now sold its pigs.

Now the amount of live poultry shipped from our poultry breeding base alone is as high as 6 to 7 yuan per day.

Now our Red Flag Brigade is having a better time.

All of this is due to the hard work of all the leaders present here.

This is a rare opportunity. Come on, leaders, let me raise a toast to everyone and celebrate our Red Flag Brigade's continued efforts and even greater success."

"Haha, Wang Zhiqing, you're still as talkative as ever."

"Haha, that's right, that's right, it's the same every time,

Wang Zhiqing, I came here today for your cooking skills.

Today, we have to drink slowly, okay?"

"Okay, leaders, let's drink slowly. I'll drink this first as a toast. Come on, come on."

After a bowl of wine, everyone at the table relaxed, chatting and laughing while eating delicious food and drinking fine wine. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

"Come on, Secretary Zeng, Team Leader, this is the first iron pot stewed goose I made for you. Everyone, hurry up and try it to see if it suits your taste.

And wow, today I’d like to express my special thanks to our captain for sponsoring the goose. Come on, captain, this goose leg must be yours. Come, I’ll take it for you.”

"Well, Wang Zhiqing, the same ingredients, the same dish, but the taste you make is different, it's just better."

"Yes, Wang Zhiqing, I have eaten this iron pot stewed goose 80 times, if not 100 times.

This time, the one you made tasted the best. The delicious taste lingered in my mouth, and it was truly a pleasure."

"Haha, leaders, if it tastes good, eat more. Come on, everyone, try this braised pork.

The recipe of Zhenzong Mao's Braised Pork, although my cooking skills are not as good as the master chef of the imperial kitchen,

But the taste, this is the taste, everyone hurry up and try it."

"Mm, delicious. The method of making this braised pork is different from the one we have here.

The taste is very unique, the meat is tender and fatty but not greasy. It's so delicious after one bite, mmm, so refreshing."

"Mm, it's delicious, Wang Zhiqing, your cooking skills are amazing."

Wang Yuanchao smiled but said nothing, jokingly saying that he learned his cooking skills from the five-star chefs in the short videos.

Wang Yuanchao is not exaggerating, this secret technique is definitely unique in this day and age.

This is a method that was refined through countless people and chefs’ communication and summarization in the past life.

How could it not make people in this era of scarcity of resources, oil and food not become confused after eating it?

"Come on, leaders, don't just eat the food, let's have a drink first, cheers."
