Imagine the world

Chapter 230
Hua Zhenxing put away the sound enchantment, the door of the private room opened automatically, he and Charles stood up and left the table to greet him.

The eldest of the three brothers, Xiao Guang, and the youngest Sanlang came from outside the door, and the second eldest, Sima Zhi, was still in the manor.Although Xiao Guang didn't think that today's guests could do anything to him, he still maintained his usual cautious attitude. The three brothers didn't all come, and there were backups for them.

Xiao Guang looked less than 40 years old, with a medium build, dressed in an improved modern middle suit, and looked very stylish with a smile on his face.How can I describe this expression? Combined with his posture, he looks very modest, but in his bones, he has the feeling of being "approachable" from a superior.

Ling Xiaomin looks ten years younger than Xiao Guang, and he is also ten centimeters taller. He is close to 30 years old and is considered an "old man" in Jili country, but he is still a young man in many other parts of the world, and he looks quite handsome. , with a bit of arrogance.

In fact, Xiao Guang and Lang Xiaomin are not as young as they look. These three brothers came to Banda City to manage Sanhu Town 20 years ago. Now Xiao Guang is actually 55 years old, and Lang Xiaomin is Is 43 years old.

After the door was opened, the two of them were in a daze for a moment, and there was a young black man and a child in the private room.Although a monk can't describe his age, no matter how advanced Hua Zhenxing's practice is, he still has the temperament and description of a teenager, which cannot be pretended by an adult.

Xiao Guang was just stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "It turns out that Mayor Xia came to Sanhu Town, and it was full of splendor! Since Mayor Xia came in person, he didn't say anything when he sent someone to notify him." Clear? We should also prepare a special welcome ceremony!"

Ling Xiaomin immediately came to his senses, nodded and said, "It's too hasty to meet like this, and we didn't prepare well in advance. How dare Mayor Xia treat us to dinner at Sanhu Restaurant? We must treat us well today!"

With their eyesight, it is not surprising that they can recognize Shire. As the local emperor of Sanhu Town, even if he doesn't care about the affairs of Feisuo Port, it is impossible not to care about the major events happening in Banda City.

By the way, Shire has now served as the mayor of Banda City and a senior official of the League. As for the mayor of Port Fiso, Locke is acting temporarily.

Gu Wentong once secretly planned to push Locke to be the president of the new alliance and the mayor of Port Fiso to find a position. He did everything possible to build momentum for Locke, but now it has left results.

After Shire became the mayor of Banda City, it was a matter of course for Locke to take over as the acting mayor. Even the local natives thought it was natural.

Shire's information is not secret, he is a public figure, even the only local public figure.If you go back to a year ago and you ask someone in Port Fiso, what does the mayor look like and what is his name?It is estimated that nine out of ten do not know, but if you ask people now, almost no one does not know Shire.

Shire's speeches and various promotional videos of the new alliance are now broadcast daily in various communities in Bubanda.Even if Xiao Guang and others didn't see it, Hua Zhenxing had already sent someone to send a document in advance, and that document also contained relevant content.

Charles shook hands with the two guests one by one and said: "The situation in Banda City is still unstable, and I don't want to disturb too many people. Today I just want to chat with the three gentlemen. How should Sanhu Town develop in the future? It seems that there is still a long way to go. Why didn't Mr. Sima come?"

Xiao Guang: "Sima Zhi has something to do today, we both come to the same place. Mayor Xia, is this gentleman...?"

They didn't know Hua Zhenxing.Hua Zhenxing took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Xiao, my name is Hua Zhenxing! We met before, in the wilderness that day, and I appeared in the form of Major General Farah at that time."

"Oh, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Hua, nice to meet, nice to meet!" Xiao Guang's voice became higher obviously, and he and the schoolmates of Ling all bowed their hands to Hua Zhenxing to salute, and their attitudes changed subtly in an instant.

Just now they thought that Hua Zhenxing was a follower brought by Shire, acting as an assistant or translator.Although Charles is fluent in speech in Dongguo, he may not be able to understand all Dongguo, so he still needs such an assistant.

It turned out that Hua Zhenxing was the monk they met that night, and the judgment of the two of them changed immediately.Between Hua Zhenxing and Shire, they obviously think that Hua Zhenxing is the one who has the final say, and is the boss standing behind Shire.

This is both admirable and enviable. They only owned Sanhu Town by controlling the Sanhu Gang, and this young man is too brave, right?Actually, by controlling the leader of the new alliance, he not only owns the port of Feisuo, but also the city of Banda!
Their judgment can't be considered completely wrong. Hua Zhenxing is indeed Shire's behind-the-scenes supporter and the one who really has the final say, but on the other hand, he is outrageously wrong.

Hua Zhenxing also cupped his hands and returned the salute: "Please take a seat and ask the waiter to serve hot dishes!"

The order was served quickly, and Xiao Guang asked: "Fellow Daoist Hua, Mayor Xia, what kind of wine do you two want to drink? We have all kinds of good wines made in East China, which cannot be bought anywhere else."

Hua Zhenxing took out a bottle of Moutai from the backpack next to the chair and asked, "Is there any new wine? It's best to drink two bottles."

Old man Yang on the first floor scolded in a low voice: "This prodigal bastard!"

Mo Shangtong frowned and said, "Isn't wine just for drinking? Do you think that wine can't be drunk, or that Xiaohua can't drink it?"

Ke Mengchao smiled and said, "I only took one bottle, but you took two today."

Old man Yang: "Can this be the same? I invited you two, and he invited those guys."

Mo Shangtong: "It's really different."

Ke Mengchao: "It makes sense!"

Sanhu Restaurant didn't have this year's new wine, but it did have Moutai from the year before last. The schoolman got up and went to get two bottles in person. The real thing was not fake.

The taste of old wine mixed with new wine is better, but it is quite particular. Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to mix it himself, but when Shire came, he insisted on taking it for a try, and sipping it while mixing it.

The schoolman laughed and said, "Today is really a treat! I didn't expect Mayor Xia to be able to mix wine?"

Charles didn't raise his head and said, "I used to run a liquor shop, and I integrated production, supply, and sales. The banana liquor sold in one-third of the bars in Port Fiso was actually supplied by me."

Ling Xiaomin: "That's not Dongguo baijiu, it's completely different flavors."

Charles: "I have also mixed Dongguo Baijiu, adding sugar to banana wine, and adding Erguotou made in Kadong to adjust the taste of each batch. It was Xiaohua who taught me. I have also drank a lot of Dongguo, like I have drunk this kind of Moutai many times at Xiao Hua's."

Xiao Guang: "Then I'm relieved, Mayor Xia will proceed."

One bottle of old wine and two bottles of new wine, Charles used a large jug to mix about a catty and a half of finished wine, and filled everyone's wine dispensers, and he made a toast first.

Xiao Guang immediately said: "Then I will toast too! Welcome Fellow Daoist Hua, welcome Mayor Xia!"

Then the schoolman Ling raised his glass and said: "Then I will toast again, for the sake of happy cooperation in the future... Eat the food, eat the food first! Fellow Daoist Hua, how is the food here? I'm not bragging, looking at the entire Jili Kingdom You can’t find such authentic oriental cuisine in other places.”

Hua Zhenxing frowned slightly and said: "The chef's skills here are still relatively poor, even the canteen chefs at the aid construction site can't keep up, let alone the canteen chefs of Huanxiang Industry. It's a pity for these materials... I'll try another It’s all the same, you can’t say you didn’t do it well, but you just don’t know how to do it.”

Hua Zhenxing didn't mean to find fault, he just told the truth.Speaking like this is not in line with the habits of a person from the East, but Hua Zhenxing has lived in the port of Feisuo since he was a child, so he doesn't give much face to him.

And today is his treat, and the place he chose is the restaurant opened by the other party, and this matter has been done with dignity.As for how well the dishes are cooked, Hua Zhenxing does not judge by his own level, but compares with two canteens he is most familiar with.

Charles seemed a little gloating, and explained with a suppressed smile: "Actually, Xiaohua can cook. He has been able to cook since he was a child. He is the most skilled chef I have ever seen!"

Hua Zhenxing also realized that it was a bit impolite to speak like this, and added: "Maybe the taste here is more suitable for locals or overseas tourists, and this is normal."

This may also be true, but what Ling Xiaomin said just now was "authentic Dongguo cuisine", his expression was obviously a little uneasy, and he directly yelled at the waiter.

When you eat locally and call the waiter, the speed of coming often depends on the mood of the other party.But when the schoolman yelled this, a waiter trotted open the door and came in, his voice trembling: "Mr. Ling, what do you want?"

Ling Xiaomin: "Who made this table?"

Waiter: "I don't know too well, what's wrong?"

Ling Xiaomin: "If you don't know, just ask. Which chef made which dish is made. Ask me clearly. If you can't remember it, write it down with a pen! Remove all the dishes from me and tell the head chef Say, make a copy of the original, and ask him to do it himself."

Waiter: "The head chef is very busy today, because there are so many customers, he probably didn't cook this table."

Ling Xiaomin: "I don't care if he's busy or not, this is my guest, let him do it quickly! If my guest is not satisfied, I will be very dissatisfied, this is not a matter of redoing a table of dishes!"

Hua Zhenxing was a little dumbfounded, and Charles was watching the play by the side.All the tables were removed, and soon another table with the same dishes was replaced. Xiao Guang asked Hua Zhenxing to try again, are you satisfied?
Hua Zhenxing waved his hands and said, "Let's stop talking about food, let's talk about business. Today, Mayor Xia is here, and we can say a lot of things directly, and we can get things done after we make an agreement."

Lang Xiaomin raised his glass and said, "It's time to talk, how much we gave Farah every year in the past, and how much we will give to Mayor Xia every year in the future, this time everyone has become their own people, and we will definitely be able to cooperate better.

The good thing is that I can get someone to send it right away, but Mayor Xia, when will the people from the Sanhu Gang be released?I still count on them to work every day! "

Charles put down his glass, and said slowly: "Bribe and corrupt the staff of state agencies to seek illegal benefits... Those who make a huge amount of money and cause particularly heavy losses to the country shall be sentenced to ten years or more in prison, life imprisonment or death. and fines or confiscation of assets.”
