break out of the ice

Chapter 14

In the end, Shi Jingqi and Liu Guodong discussed to buy [-] compressors in Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Chang Hongxing wants to invite a few people to dinner: "I want to invite you to dinner. There are public and private ones. Yu Gong, you are from Mincheng, which is close to us. There is no decent refrigerator factory in our province. I hope you will make a show. We also followed suit. It’s rare for me to meet customers of the same age, and I hope we can make friends together.”

The hospitality was hard to come by, and several people went to eat with Chang Hongxing. Chang Hongxing did not lead the few people to the canteen in the factory, but led them out of the back door of the Red Star Factory.

The front gate of the factory is connected to the highway, and Shi Jingqi and the others came from the side of the highway. They only know that there are various factories scattered on the side of the road, and there are private houses and fields beside the factories.

Now that I got out of the back door of the Red Star Factory, I realized that there was actually a large-scale construction site behind.

Looking around, there are hundreds of people busy on the construction site. Some are pushing crops, some are pushing houses, and some are driving bulldozers to level the ground. The row of houses connected to the back wall of Hongxing Machinery Factory has not been demolished. They all opened their doors to the rear, doing all kinds of small businesses.

One of them has a row of bamboo planted in front of the door, and the door is paved with red bricks. It looks very clean and tidy. It stands out from the crowd in this row of small shops.

Chang Hongxing led the people there, and said: "This family is called Xiangxi Family. It just started this month. The boss and his wife are both from Hunan, and they cook authentic Hunan cuisine. Everyone can eat spicy food. Right? Hunan cuisine is similar to Sichuan cuisine, mostly spicy."

Several people nodded to express that they can eat spicy food.

Liu Qinqin said: "It's not been a month yet, so the bamboo is growing really well."

At this time, a nearly 30-year-old woman came out from a Xiangxi family. She wore a big red dress with slanted breasts, her hair was combed into a bun, and a light blue floral apron was wrapped around her waist. The dress of a peasant girl who harvests rice.

Hearing Liu Qinqin's words, he said, "Girl, this bamboo is fake. We don't have the ability to make real bamboo grow so fast."

After hearing this, Liu Qinqin hurriedly went up to pinch the leaves of the bamboo, put her arm on Lin Yuru's arm and smiled, "It's really fake, it's really made, it looks real."

The woman over there has already asked Chang Hongxing: "Boss Xiao Chang, is it still the private room?"

"It's still the same one, lady boss, all my friends are here today, you have to show your housekeeping skills." Chang Hongxing said while leading everyone into the shop and walked inside.

When I went in, I found that the house was very deep, as if two houses were connected.

Chang Hongxing pushed open the door of one of the rooms and invited everyone in.

In this room, there is a big round table in the middle, eight chairs around the round table, and a window with a straw curtain hung on it, and two small lanterns hung on the curtain, and it looks like a vegetable garden outside. son.

As soon as the two girls entered the room, they saw the pair of small lanterns, carefully took them off and played with them.

Chang Hongxing entertained a few men and sat down, and said to Shi Jingqi and Xiao Hei: "Don't blame my dad for not entertaining you last time. At that time, the store had just opened for a few days, and I didn't know what it was like. The other shops around are all messed up, eating there sucks, it’s better to eat in the cafeteria in our factory.”

Shi Jingqi and Xiao Hei repeatedly expressed that they didn't care, the last time they ate in the Red Star Factory was not bad.

The two girls, Liu Qinqin and Lin Yuru, also sat down. The proprietress came in with a pot of tea and the menu, and gave the menu to the two girls under Chang Hongxing's signal.

A few of them had never eaten authentic Hunan cuisine, so they didn't know what to order, so they pushed it over and over, and finally pushed it to Chang Hongxing.

Chang Hongxing took the initiative and ordered a dish of farmhouse fried pork, a dish of spicy chicken, a dish of steamed cured meat, a dish of Xiangxi grandma, and a dish of Hunan-flavored stinky tofu. Because there were girls there, he also ordered a dish of sweet Xianglian with rock sugar.

He strongly recommended stinky tofu to several people: "It smells stinky and tastes delicious. Many people say it is much better than the ones made at the stalls outside. Everyone will try it later."

Then he asked the crowd, "How many drinks?"

Several people said that they would not drink anymore, and they would go to see other materials in the afternoon.

Knowing that several people still have something to do, Chang Hongxing said with a smile: "It's still important to get down to business. Next time we have a chance, let's get drunk again."

He said to the proprietress, "Serve two pots of glutinous rice wine."

Seeing that he was still ordering wine, several people hurriedly refused.

Chang Hongxing signaled the proprietress to go down to prepare, and introduced to a few people: "The glutinous rice wine in Hunan is made from glutinous rice. It is sweet and delicious, and the alcohol content is low. Even girls can drink a little. It's okay, everyone. Look at your own quantity, just enough is enough."

Then everyone no longer refused.

Liu Guodong was in the factory on weekdays, and he felt that he was pretty good. If anyone in the neighborhood had something to do, he would also ask him to help him out. Only when he saw Chang Hongxing did he realize his inadequacy.

It's just that he is the same age as Shi Jingqi, but he has already taken care of everything, and the key is that he does not make people feel disgusted.

Liu Guodong felt this way, not to mention Shi Jingqi, who was being taken to political class by Gao Tuanjie every day recently, asking him to show off when he was in the world.

In the past, I always thought that this was a skill that would come naturally when I got older, but today I compared it with Chang Hongxing of the same age, and I realized what a scene is.

Chang Hongxing was still introducing Hunan cuisine to the two girls, without noticing that he had inadvertently taught the other two a lesson.

When the food and wine were served, everyone exclaimed that it was delicious, especially the stinky tofu dish, which was highly appreciated by the two ladies, saying that it was better than the one sold on a shoulder pole at Mincheng Railway Station.

Everyone except Xiao Hei drank a little glutinous rice wine, and the atmosphere on the table was very warm and harmonious.

People from all over the world ate and chatted, and ate a meal for more than an hour. When they came out from Xiangxi, Shi Jingqi remembered to ask Chang Hongxing: "What are you making?"

"To build an expressway, we need to build an expressway intersection here. When it is completed, you can go from Mincheng to Zhengzhou, and it will be much faster to take the expressway directly." Chang Hongxing introduced.

The driver, Xiao Hei, was more interested in the road, so he hurried over and asked, "Is that road easier to walk?"

"Did you see it?" Chang Hongxing pointed at the opposite side with his finger, and said, "I heard that it is as wide as the road from here to the opposite side. It's all a water-filled asphalt road, and the side is surrounded. Except for cars, other things are not allowed to enter."

"The relationship is good, but I don't know when it will be completed and open to traffic." Xiao Hei muttered.

Several people returned to the Red Star Factory, loaded the selected compressor into the car, and left the Red Star Machinery Factory with Chang Hongxing's farewell.

The driver, Xiao Hei, was talking about the expressway all the way, carrying four passengers who were a little excited after drinking and kept singing, singing all the way into Zhengzhou City.
