Chapter 633 The old wanderer

:.     "This is really not clear... The People's Auditorium was demolished and rebuilt more than ten years ago. The surrounding area has been converted into a commercial square, and it seems that there is no restaurant you mentioned."

Bao Qifan replied patiently that he had been talking to the middle-aged man for several minutes. Although the other party was standing in front of the booth, he did not ask about Fengqing County's investment projects and policies. In addition, the other party was dressed very simply and had no watch on his wrist. Bao Qifan felt a little worried. He felt that this person was not like an investor, but like a idle person who had accidentally walked into the exhibition, so he just wanted to deal with the other party quickly.

"Oh..." The middle-aged man showed a slight disappointment on his face, and sighed, "That's a pity."

Zeng Yi walked forward at this time and said with a smile: "Hello, gentleman, is the boss of the tofu dish you just mentioned? "

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Yes, his surname is Duan. I remember that the name of the restaurant is Duan Laoliu Tofu Cuisine."

Zeng Yi laughed. He really knew this restaurant because Ma Enhe especially likes to eat tofu dishes, which is a unique flavor in Fengqing County. Zeng Yi followed Ma Enhe to eat twice and was deeply impressed. So he said, "The restaurant you mentioned is still there, but it was a different place. The boss's surname is Duan, but it is no longer Duan Laoliu. Lao Duan has retired, and now his children continue to run this restaurant. The business is very prosperous. Many people come to eat from other places."

"I really didn't expect it!" The middle-aged man laughed twice and said, "But that's right. When I left home, Duan Laoliu was in his forties. Thirty years have passed, and Duan Laoliu has also become Duan."

"It seems that you are an authentic Fengqing person!" Zeng Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party.

The middle-aged man held Zeng Yi's hand and sighed: "Thirty years have passed in a flash. My memory of Fengqing County is only this tofu restaurant. When my family was poor, I couldn't eat it often. One year, when I was sick, I went to the county for medical treatment. My father gritted his teeth and took me to the restaurant, and I ate tofu dishes. I still remember the taste, but unfortunately my father..."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed a little, the muscles on his face hopped, and his eyes flushed. He stopped talking and stood there calming his emotions. It was only after many years that his father had given up all his money to cure him. Just before eating that meal of tofu, his father went to sell blood, and he was too poor at that time.

Zeng Yi did not disturb him. He knew that this tofu must have some stories. Moreover, once a wanderer who has been away for thirty years has opened up his memory about his hometown, this kind of thought and emotion is also uncontrollable.

After a long time, middle-aged people felt better. A faint smile appeared on their faces and said, "Sorry, I remembered my father. He is a good man. He suffered a lot for his family. His favorite food during his lifetime was tofu."

"You don't need to say sorry!" Zeng Yi looked at the other party, "I know this feeling very well."

Seeing Zeng Yi so young, middle-aged people did not take this sentence seriously and thought it was just a suitable sentence. However, they did not know that Zeng Yi was also wandering around in his teens. At least the middle-aged people still had a father, but Zeng Yi had never seen his parents.

"Introduce yourself!" The middle-aged man took out the business card holder from his pocket, opened it and took out one, handed it to Zeng Yi, and said, "My surname is Wang, and his ancestral home is Fengqing County, but he left his hometown at a very young age."

Zeng Yi took the business card and saw that the other party's name was written on it. Wang Xi, a Hong Kong island native, and served as chief engineer in a special steel equipment factory. Zeng Yi understood why the other party's fingers were so rough. This was decided by his career. He said: "It turns out to be Wang Gong! You are welcome to go back to your hometown often, experience the huge changes in your hometown, and also taste the special tofu dishes in your hometown."

"Yes, sure!" The middle-aged man had a good impression of Zeng Yi and said, "When I return to my hometown, I must invite you to taste the tofu dishes together."

Zeng Yi took out his business card and smiled and said, "Welcome at any time."

Wang Xi took up the business card and looked at it, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, "It turns out that he is the parent official in his hometown, I am so respectful!" As he said that, Wang Xi looked at Zeng Yi again. This was the first time he saw such a young county magistrate.

"Wang Gongyan is so serious. It is my honor to be able to do something for the people of Fengqing County!" Zeng Yi said.

Bao Qifan finally found an opportunity at this time and said: "Although County Mayor Zeng has not been in Fengqing County for too long, he has introduced several large-scale projects to Fengqing County. Recently, he is carrying out pilot reforms in medical and health work, which has been unanimously praised by the people in the county."

Wang Xi said: "County Magistrate Zeng is young and promising!"

Bao Qifan looked at Wang Xi's expression and knew that the other party had not taken Zeng Yi seriously. However, it was not surprising that anyone who saw Zeng Yi for the first time would not think that Zeng Yi was a "young and promising" official, but most likely he would think that this was a noble family who came from the background. Bao Qifan added, "The famous General Tea is the poverty alleviation result of County Magistrate Zeng when he worked in Nanjiang. For this reason, County Magistrate Zeng squatted in the big mountain valley for a long time."

When Wang Xi heard this, he showed a very surprised expression. He knew very well about General Tea. Hong Kong Island has a unique relationship with Britain because of history. How could he not have heard of a cup of General Tea curing the severe illness of the Queen of England? He said immediately: "I really didn't expect that the person who pushed General Tea to the international community would stand in front of me at this moment."

Zeng Yi smiled and shook his hand, saying, "This is not entirely my personal achievement."

Bao Qifan said, "The person who treated Queen Ying at that time was County Mayor Zeng himself. County Mayor Zeng was actually a master of medical skills!"

Wang Xi was a little shocked and said, "So, the story of curing a disease with a cup of general tea is not a rumor that is heard of?"

Bao Qifan said, "This is a real thing, there is no exaggeration at all." Bao Qifan had seen Zeng Yi's medical skills. At that time, in Ma's home, County Magistrate Zeng did not take the pulse or ask about the condition. When he looked up and looked at the celestial phenomena, he knew that the patient who fell from the roof had to have blood in the stool. This was simply a magical technique.

"It's just a coincidence!" Zeng Yi said a few words with a smile, without giving any unnecessary explanation.

Wang Xi became more interested and said, "I often hear people talk about this. When the news came out, General Tea was hard to find in Hong Kong Island, and the price was more than gold. County Magistrate Zeng, does General Tea really have such a great effect?"

"General Tea has certain health benefits, but it does not cure all diseases. It can cure the Queen of England's disease, but it just happens to be the right one." Zeng Yi raised his hand and said, "If Wang Gong is interested, let's sit in and chat."

Wang Xi had already felt like he was about to leave after hearing what Bao Qifan said before, but now he heard Zeng Yi's words, and then he became interested. He said a few words of politeness and followed Zeng Yi into the hospitality area in the booth, preparing to listen to the whole story of the matter in detail. This time he went to Hong Kong Island, which is an exclusive topic of discussion. Moreover, it is not an ordinary opportunity to meet someone who cured the Queen of England seriously ill.

Bao Qifan immediately brought two cups of hot water, but he felt a little depressed. He didn't realize that Wang Xi had such a background. Maybe he was here to watch the project in the exhibition. It seems that he can't judge people by his appearance.

Zeng Yi sat there and briefly introduced to Wang Xi the principle of "treatment with odor" of General Tea. By the way, he also asked Wang Xi about his work and learned that the factory where Wang Xi works is a factory that specializes in producing special steel threads, keels and mortises for ships.

Zeng Yi is a completely amateur in this regard, so he did not ask in depth. He just remembered the situation in his heart and planned to go back and learn more about it. Wang Xi appeared at the promotion meeting of the investment project today. Zeng Yi believed that it would never be just a whim, or just came to ask about the situation in his hometown, and most of them had other purposes.

The two chatted for a while, and it was getting late. The staff from the booths in other cities and counties next to them were packing up the booths and preparing to leave.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xi stopped talking and said, "I am really happy to meet County Mayor Zeng today. If I have the chance, I must go back to my hometown to have a look."

"Welcome!" Zeng Yi stood up and said goodbye to Wang Xi, then took out more than a dozen tea tickets for the general tea from his bag and gave them to Wang Xi along with the introduction materials from Fengqing County.

After seeing Wang Xi off, the exhibition hall was already half empty. Zeng Yi remembered that he had made an appointment with Sun Rui tonight, and the drunkard stopped delaying it. He gave Bao Qifan a few instructions and hurriedly left the museum.

The place for dinner tonight was set at the Wei Gongji main store. The seafood hotpot here is like the tofu dishes in Fengqing County, which is an authentic feature of Yunhai City. Anyone who comes to Yunhai will come to taste the taste here. When Zeng Yi first came to Yunhai, Gu Di received the wind for Zeng Yi here.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Wei Gongji, the boss of Wei Gongji ran over and said, "Early this morning, I heard magpies chirping, thinking that there must be noble people coming to the door. When I went to the store, I found out that it was Boss Zeng, you are coming." The boss of Wei Gongji was very eye-catching. In his store, he never called the official title of the customer, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Zeng Yi laughed and said, "Today I want to receive two old friends, President Wei can't let me lose face."

Boss Wei slapped the fat on his chest and trembled, saying, "Boss Zeng will leave it to me for the meal. If it is not done well and the customers are not satisfied, I will take off the signboard by myself."

As they spoke, the two entered the hotel lobby. As soon as they entered the door, someone stood up on the sofa waiting for guests and said, "Miss Zeng, are you here to have dinner too?"

Zeng Yi saw it and reached out and said, "Hello, Director Liu, when did you arrive in the sea of ​​clouds?" Zeng Yi did not expect that when he came here for a meal, he would even meet Mayor He Sixian's secretary.

Secretary Liu smiled and said, "I've arrived today, come and have a meeting with the boss."

As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Liu saw that the car outside the door arrived, so he immediately said, "The boss is here, I'll go out to greet him." After that, he accelerated his pace and ran out the door.
