Chapter 1122 Cao Jianliang's Family Banquet
Kongtian [-] took off, and Lin Dong had already returned to the office. After tidying up briefly, he took two bottles of red wine to Cao Jianliang's house.

Cao Jianliang lives in the courtyard of the Tashi Military Division.Cao Jianliang also serves as the first political commissar of the Tashi Military Division and is in charge of the party's armed forces in the Tashi area. He will work in the military division every month. There is his residence in the military division, which is a tradition in Tashi.

When he arrived at the gate of the military division, Lin Dong was about to call inside when he saw Cao Jianliang's secretary, Xiao Yue, walking over, smiling and waving at him.

Apparently, Cao Jianliang had already prepared to have someone greet him here.

Xiaoyue sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the guards let him go after a routine inspection. He drove all the way in and drove to a small two-story building. Xiaoyue pointed to the open space in front of the building and said, "Boss Lin, please stop the car." Get there!"

After parking the car, Lin Dong got out of the car with red wine and looked at the small building.

The small building is quite old, and it looks a bit old on the outside, with the square feeling of the buildings in the 70s and [-]s. Cao Jianliang heard the sound of the car, walked out, saw Lin Dong, and said with a smile: "Lin Dong Boss, welcome to come! Why do you still bring something?"

Lin Dong raised the red wine in his hand and said, "It's not something valuable. Our western province produces Xintian red wine. It's been more than half a year since I came here. At the beginning, I heard that it was good, so I asked my secretary to buy a case. It happened to be returned. I have two bottles, so I brought them here. It is not the Chinese custom to go empty-handed for the first time!"

"You, Boss Lin!" Cao Jianliang ordered the wine in his hand, turned his head and said to Xiaoyue: "Put the wine away, I still have to put away the wine brought by Boss Lin. Let's drink our own real estate red wine today !"

Xintian red wine is produced in the northern part of Western Province, and Tashi also grows grapes, but there are many self-made wines here, and they are relatively famous, while commercial red wine is not so famous.

"Secretary Cao is talking about Muselles?" Lin Dong and Cao Jianliang walked in together, asking as they walked, "Is it authentic?"

"Of course it's authentic!" Seeing Lin Dong's questioning, Cao Jianliang made a serious face on purpose: "This is brewed by my relatives. The invisible rich people from several countries in Central Asia came to ask for the wine brewed by them. This is mine. My relative’s name is Bahati, and he only brews three cylinders of Museles every year, and he will give me some every year. I’m leaving this year, and I’ll just bring in one cylinder of the wine he just brewed, which is enough for you to drink! But I But let me tell you, this drink has a strong aftertaste!"

When Lin Dong came here, he heard about Museles' name.

Museles is different from the wine referred to in modern times. There are many ways to make Museles among the people. Generally, high-quality fresh grapes are peeled and pitted, and the grape juice is filtered again, and then poured into a pot to boil. The excess water is finally poured into the tank, covered and sealed, and placed in a sunny place to ferment. It takes about 40 days before and after.In different places, the auxiliary materials generally added are also different, such as antler, cardamom, wolfberry, safflower, cistanche, saffron, roses, cloves, mulberries, apricots, etc. In some places, pigeons, snow chickens, and even roasted Well cooked lamb.

The most important thing Lin Dong heard was that pigeon blood was going to be released.Many local people on the construction site would also give some to them. Lin Dong tasted it, and some tasted good, and some were not used to it. After all, people have different brewing techniques, and the results are also different.

As far as Lin Dong knows, Museles contains a small amount of alcohol, is light coffee in color, tastes sweet and sour, and has an aromatic smell. It is a nutritious and high-quality tonic, rich in amino acids, vitamins, glucose, iron, etc. needed by the human body. A variety of nutrients and trace elements have the function of relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation, and have extremely high medicinal value.It is often used to treat physical weakness, respiratory diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases, so it is called medicinal wine.So to be precise, it is a pure natural alcoholic drink between wine and grape juice.

Of course, there are still many people who say that Museles with pigeon blood has the effect of aphrodisiac. Whether it is true or not, Lin Dong is not sure.

The two walked into the room and changed their shoes. Lin Dong saw that seven or eight dishes had been placed on the dining table, and two bottles of red wine were placed on the table.There are only two places on the dining table, facing each other.

"I'm the only guest?" Lin Dong was a little surprised, looking at Cao Jianliang, "I thought..."

Cao Jianliang explained with a smile: "The farewell banquet in the city is over. We had a simple meal. Now the eight regulations are stricter, and we don't want to run into this bad luck at this time, so we don't plan to make a big deal. After all, we are all in the west. Province, there are several roads across the Tianshan Mountains, and the railway is also being built, and it will be more convenient to travel in the future, so we don’t engage in those fake things.”

After speaking, he called Lin Dong to sit down, and Xiao Yue came in to help the two of them pour good wine. Cao Jianliang said to Xiao Yue: "You go back first. You don't need to be busy here. Go home early, or Xiao Lin will say that I will leave you to work overtime. You just got married, now is the time to be lingering, don't be angry because of me."

Xiaoyue smiled shyly, and walked out in response.

"You're welcome, it's just the two of us now." Cao Jianliang said to Lin Dong with a smile: "Today's meal has no other meaning, one is that I will leave Tashi soon, unofficial people, the first thing I think of is You, don’t say goodbye to others, at least I want to say goodbye to you. Secondly, I’m also thanking you. To be honest, I can go to the area in the north to be the secretary, and I have a lot of credit for you.”

Although Lin Dong knew that Cao Jianliang was not promoted in the past, but the underlying rules of the western province, after serving as secretary of two prefectures and states, if there is no problem and the age is just right, he will generally be appointed as a standing committee member in the province.Cao Jianliang is only in his 40s, exactly at this age. He went to that sub-provincial area partly because of his strong work ability. On the other hand, it has something to do with the completion of the Tashi Cleaning Plan and being selected as a national livable city.

Lin Dong smiled and accepted his statement.The two chatted and ate.

"Mr. Lin, I won't hide it anymore." Cao Jianliang poured another glass of wine for Lin Dong, and said, "I recognize you, Mr. Lin. Although you are from the mainland, you have a temper like our son in the west! I Going to the area in the north, I also hope to get Mr. Lin's help! I have already investigated that coal is produced in that area, and the six counties and cities attached to it all produce coal. Although it is not as big as Shanxi Province, the reserves are also very rich. Residents They use a lot of coal, and even though the place is a grassland, the air is not so good... I want to start your cleaning plan there, how about it?"

As he said that, Cao Jianliang looked at Lin Dong expectantly, hoping to get an affirmative answer.
