Chapter 146 Praise of the Provincial Party Committee No. 1
The full name of Secretary Zhao, No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee, was Zhao Demin. Because of his strict orders, when he inspected the province, the reception meals in Qianzhou Province could only be based on the standard of one dish per person. And they could not be extravagant and wasteful. Just use ordinary home-cooked dishes, and Mei Tan was no exception.
Therefore, when many leaders who accompanied Zhao Demin inspected saw the waiters serving home-cooked dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded lettuce, mapo tofu, fish-flavored eggplant, folded ear-root bacon and other home-cooked dishes.
After Zhao Demin severely scolded the two counties in front of him, the counties behind him no longer dared to commit crimes against the wind and could only organize a reception banquet strictly according to Secretary Zhao's instructions.
Secretary Zhao Demin had lunch in Lin County at noon and later Mei Tan.
When he arrived in Meitan, Zhao Demin went directly to the countryside, visited a demonstration site for a new rural construction in Meitan, and the birthplace of the Liberation Party of China, and had a conversation with local villagers.
Zhao Demin was very satisfied when he saw the flat rural roads, distinctive folk houses in northern Guizhou, tea leaves all over the mountains and the villagers who lived and worked in peace.
In the afternoon, Zhao Demin listened to the work report of the Meitan County Party Committee and County Government, and also felt that the Meitan County Party Committee and County Government was correct in the way of tea industry and tea characteristic tourism.
Therefore, Zhao Demin has a high evaluation and is quite satisfied with the work of the Meitan County Party Committee and County Government. The County Party Committee No. 1 and County Government No. 1 were both praised by Secretary Zhao.
Now, the county party committee guesthouse strictly followed his requirements and only served a few home-cooked dishes, Zhao Demin felt more happy.
Zhao Demin’s hometown is an old revolutionary mountainous area. When he was a child, his family was in poor condition. He could never forget the feeling of not having the last meal after eating.
Therefore, although his official position is getting bigger and bigger, his requirements for life have always been low, and he only wants to be able to eat enough, and he firmly opposes extravagance and extravagance.
Qianzhou Province is even more backward, and it should not be a super-scale reception.
Therefore, Zhao Demin's control over the reception banquet in Qianzhou Province was more stringent than other places where he had served.
Zhao Demin felt relieved when he saw that the people from the Meitan County Party Committee Guesthouse did not commit crimes against the wind and honestly served home-cooked dishes.
Zhao Demin's hometown is from a southeastern province, and he doesn't know some dishes in Qianzhou. Therefore, when serving, the waiter even reports the name of the dishes while serving them.
The dishes above have ordinary names and are also common home-cooked dishes, and Zhao Demin didn't care yet.
However, when the last big soup bowl was served and placed in the center of the table and the waiter said that this was called "boiled water cabbage", Zhao Demin was stunned.
I saw that the last big soup bowl contained a bowl of clear and steaming boiled water, and there were more than a dozen tender cabbage hearts. Not to mention the meat, even oil beads could not be seen.
Zhao Demin immediately felt a little amused.
Although he said that he would only make home-cooked dishes, there are also a lot of home-cooked soup dishes, right? Why don’t he just make boiled cabbage boiled in water and serve as soup dishes?
The reception staff in Meitan County are a bit too much!
Just when Zhao Demin felt that Mei Tan’s reception staff had done too much, a deputy governor who accompanied him to inspect asked the waiter in surprise: “Do you think this is boiled cabbage?”
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes!"
The vice governor named Wu Zhiping confirmed again: "Is it the boiled cabbage among Sichuan cuisine?"
The waiter nodded again and said, "Yes!"
Then, Wu Zhiping smiled and said, "Okay! I haven't eaten boiled cabbage for more than a year. Let's try it today. See how good your Mei Tan chef is, and whether this boiled cabbage is authentic!"
After hearing Wu Zhiping's words, Zhao Demin recalled: Is this boiled cabbage not as simple as he thought?
He is from the Southeast and Sichuan cuisine is not popular in the places where he has worked. Therefore, Zhao Demin has never heard of boiled cabbage, nor has he eaten it.
So, Zhao Demin asked Vice Governor Wu Zhiping and said, "Do you have anything to say about this boiled cabbage?"
Wu Zhiping smiled and said, "Yes, Secretary, this boiled cabbage is not simple."
Then, Vice Governor Wu Zhiping introduced to Zhao Demin about the history and legend of boiled cabbage, as well as its peak status among Sichuan cuisine.
Only then did Zhao Demin realize that this boiled cabbage sounded simple and the dish looked ordinary, but its origin and connotation were not simple.
If a chef cooks at home, this dish is not inferior to those expensive delicacies.
The key is that the cost of this dish is not high, it is just some ordinary ingredients, which greatly increases Zhao Demin's interest.
Zhao Demin said excitedly: "Then I want to try it. Is this boiled cabbage as delicious as you said!"
Then, he said a few words to everyone and let everyone start eating.
Of course, with Secretary Zhao present, he would not move his chopsticks, and others would not move.
Zhao Demin knew this too, so he took the chopsticks first, picked up a tender cabbage heart into his bowl, and then greeted everyone, "Everyone eats it!"
Then, the others started to move their chopsticks!
With Zhao Demin's current status, it is hard to have anything that can surprise him.
However, today's boiled cabbage really surprised him.
Although after being introduced by Vice Governor Wu Zhiping, I knew that this dish was not simple. However, seeing the plain appearance of boiled cabbage, Secretary Zhao actually didn't think it was really delicious. I'm afraid it was because the ingredients were a little more complicated and the craftsmanship was more delicious than ordinary home-cooked dishes!
As a result, when he picked up a piece of tender vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth, he was shocked by the fresh and beautiful smell.
This contrast came a little too strong, which surprised big shots like Zhao Demin.
Zhao Demin praised on the spot: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. This boiled cabbage is indeed worthy of Sichuan cuisine~feng!"
Secretary Zhao Demin's words immediately attracted everyone's congratulations.
At this time, basically everyone else also tasted it. Regardless of whether they had eaten it before, Rao Mingyang's boiled cabbage can indeed bear everyone's praise.
Even Wu Zhiping felt that the boiled cabbage produced in Meitan County today is even better than any boiled cabbage cooked by a Sichuan cuisine master he had eaten before.
Secretary Zhao and Wu Zhiping and other leaders were quite satisfied with this meal.
Naturally, someone began to inquire which chef who made this boiled cabbage and which hotel he worked in. The implication is that when he wants to eat in the future, he can find a place to eat.
Naturally, Rao Mingyang's Yipinju appeared in everyone's ears and was firmly remembered in his heart.
