Chapter 81: The highest standard banquet

When the car arrived in P County, it was already dark. After walking on the highway, the mountain roads were turning and turning. One of the sections was still under construction. The bumpy people, who had undergone anti-dizziness training, began to turn around in the stomach. No wonder the development of northern Fujian lags far behind southeast Fujian. The transportation item has greatly restricted the development here - northern Fujian is a mountainous area and it is difficult to develop traffic.

Finally, when the lights were on, the bus drove to Chengguan, P County. The last time I went home for the New Year, I went straight to the town in my hometown, so I hadn't been here for at least two or three years, and the last time I came back was during the winter vacation of my junior year. If I included the time in my dream, I hadn't been back for four or five years.

Looking at the familiar scenery on the street, there was almost no change compared to a few years ago. When I was in high school, I went to No. 1 Middle School in the county, which shows that the development of my hometown is indeed a bit lagging behind. A new station was built. The previous station was near the center of the county town, with many vehicles entering and leaving the roads, and the roads were narrow, which often caused traffic congestion. Now, the new station has been completed in the western suburbs of Chengguan, greatly alleviating the congestion traffic in Chengguan.

The street light flashed from time to time outside the window, and the bus drove into the passenger station smoothly. At this time, Gao Tian was still sleeping soundly. I had a sharp-eyed look and saw a Santana car parked at the entrance of the station, which was marked by a military sign. I quickly pushed Gao Tian to wake him up and said:

"Platform Commander Gao, I'm at the station, wake up!"

Gao Tian opened his eyes in a daze, yawned, and said, "So quickly... I haven't had enough sleep."

When Gao Tian woke up, the bus stopped at the station. We walked out of the car with our luggage. Sure enough, two people in military uniforms came towards us. One of them had the rank of lieutenant colonel and the other one with the signs of the armed forces staff.

Of course, the two of us in military uniforms are very prominent here. P County is very small, so small that there are almost no garrisons - the armed police, firefighters, and armed forces, which are necessary for each county. So they walked directly towards the two of us.

The leading lieutenant colonel asked:

"Are you comrades from the XX Division who came to pick up the recruits? I am from the P County Armed Forces Department."

As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew he was a local. His accent was too heavy. I said with a smile:

"Hello! We are from the xx division, my name is Lu Changfeng, this is Gao Tian, ​​thank you for your hard work this year!"

When the lieutenant colonel heard that we were here to receive the troops, he immediately said enthusiastically:

"Hello! Hello! I am Liu Zhi, the head of the Political Engineering Section of the Armed Forces Department. This is the driver Xiao Zhang. We have worked hard all the way. Let's send two to the hotel first and put the luggage. Today, the county party committee leader takes the lead and wants to welcome the two. You must appreciate your face!"

Gao Tian and I looked at each other, and even the county party committee was alarmed. How could this happen? I thought that I spent my high school career here, and I was an unknown person at that time. Unexpectedly, after a few years, when I came back again, even the heads and minds of the county wanted to treat me to a meal. Although I knew this was because of the particularity of my work - if a young captain was considered a p-in-one in the eyes of the county party secretary, this did not prevent me from being intoxicated by myself.

I said with a smile:

"Of course I dare not refuse the banquet from my parents! I will definitely go there. Section Chief Liu, look at us, we will also alarm the county leaders and ask you to arrange food and accommodation. It really causes you to have trouble..."

Liu Zhi said: "It's nothing. You regular troops from the field troops can't even be invited! If you didn't receive troops, would you have time to come to such a poor valley?"

After saying that, everyone burst into laughter, and then got into the car from the armed forces. They obviously had arranged accommodation in advance, and drove directly to the best hotel in the county - it seemed that the best hotel was not as high as the star rating. After we settled down, we took a simple wash and went downstairs - Liu Zhi and the others were still waiting for us in the lobby downstairs!

New Great Wall Restaurant, the best restaurant in Chengguan, P County - I remember when I was admitted to the military academy, my father specially set up several tables here to entertain teachers and relatives and friends, and my mother felt distressed for several days. When we walked into the private room, the leaders of the county party committee and county government and the military and political chief of the armed forces were already inside.

As soon as I entered the door, Liu Zhi was busy introducing me. County Party Secretary Lin Chonggao, who looked very young, had a suit and tie, had a very stylish look, had thick black hair, a smooth face, and a pair of bright eyes, which was far from what I imagined as a county party secretary. The accompanying staff were the director of the county party committee office, the secretary of the county party committee secretary and a deputy county magistrate.

Liu Kehua, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department, is in his forties. The rank of colonel on his shoulders is already very old, and even his face is full of years of vicissitudes. It is obvious that he is now at the age of other troops, so he is transferred to the Armed Forces Department to make a transition and is preparing to transfer.

The political commissar is Luo Weidong, a name with a very contemporary characteristic. He is young and promising, full of books, fair skin, and slender fingers that women will envy. He is wearing gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, which reminds me of the department head at the military academy. These two people are really similar!

After a few greetings, everyone divided the guest and the host and the guest and the host took their seats.

I had already experienced a lot of dinner before and after graduation, and I knew a little bit of the rules, so I just sat quietly. Sure enough, Liu Kehua, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department, said:

"Comrades, let's ask Secretary Lin for a few words first!"

Everyone immediately agreed, Lin Chonggao picked up his cup and stood up, saying:

"I am very happy today to welcome two comrades from the field troops. I wish our winter recruitment work successfully completed this winter! Come on, everyone has done it!"

Lin Chonggao looked up and fucked the cup of 2 taels, 53-degree Maotai wine. At first glance, he was a master of wine and a "alcohol test". Almost all the wine barrels were present, and they were all fucked without changing their faces. Then, looking at us both, I looked at Gao Tian with inquiring eyes, and he showed a look of embarrassment in his eyes. I sighed, raised the cup and said:

"Thank you Secretary Lin and all the leaders!"

After saying that, he poured the wine into his mouth and lit the bottom of the glass at everyone. Gao Tian was also on the string. He gritted his teeth and drank the 2000-high white wine in one breath. He would drink some wine in the army, but it is rare to use it as beer in this way.

Lin Chonggao said: "Okay! I would like to welcome this second cup of bar. It is your first time to come to our P County. Everyone here, including me, will greet you on behalf of the people of P County!"

After saying that, I wanted to drink again, and I shouted:

"etc!"

Lin Chonggao stopped, and everyone's eyes were gathered on me. You should know that interrupting others to drink was very impolite. I smiled embarrassedly and said:

"Secretary Lin, I should toast everyone this glass of wine. You are all my parents! I am native of P County and I didn't leave until I was admitted to the military academy. If I don't believe it, Minister Liu will go back and check it. You should also find the political review materials before I went to the military academy in 2001, haha!"

After saying that, while they were still stunned, I continued:

"I toast to all the leaders of P County for this glass of wine! I will do it first!"

After saying that, I drank all the white wine in the glass without hesitation. I could see that Gaotian had limited alcohol use, so he could drink less than one glass of wine.

Lin Chonggao was stunned for a moment before saying with a little awkward smile:

"Oh? It turns out that Company Commander Lu is from our P County! That's really rude. It seems that our local intelligence work is indeed not as professional as the military! Good! We have drunk this glass of wine!"

After saying that, Lin Chonggao led them to dry the wine. I was stunned. These people were all experts in the wine industry. They didn't eat a sip of food. Even if they drank two glasses of high-alcohol liquor, they were nearly half a pound. No one had any changes in their faces. I, a person who was never drunk, couldn't help but frown when I drank it. The wine was so strong that it was so painful that I felt so hot that I could not drink it. Every time I drank it, I would quickly come out quietly.

Lin Chonggao didn't even take a breath, so he slowly poured the third glass of wine on and said with a smile:

"I'll make a request for the third glass of wine. The ninety-eight children from P County will follow the two to the busy military camp in three days to fulfill their obligations to serve in the military. I ask the comrades in the army to strictly demand and bring all our ninety-eight children from P County into elite soldiers and become useful people to the country and society! I, Lin Chonggao, thank you here first!"

After saying that, it was another glass! I was a little dizzy. The words of urging the drink were very clear. Everything can be a reason to drink...

Naturally, the staff members drank this cup with me. I don’t care. I’m not drunk anyway, I just wasted this expensive Wuliangye... It would be a bit painful if Gao Tian continued to drink like this.

Fortunately, after Lin Chonggao's "one, two, three" was finished, he sat down and said with a smile:

"Okay! Let's play freely below! We must let the guests from the field troops drink!"

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of toasting us came one after another. In fact, this is not because they insisted on pouring anyone down. This is the case with Chinese culture itself. The more guests drink, the more drunk they drink, the more they can show the host's hospitality. This is the case among the people, let alone the top leaders of the county treating guests. We two "poor" guests want to escape unscathed? Dream!

These experienced old birds have many reasons to persuade them to drink, and they talk endlessly! We didn’t have any chance to explain and refuse. After they said that, they would like to say “First to be respectful” and then look up and have a glass of wine. These are all 2 taels of high-alcohol liquor!

I smiled bitterly and drank glass after glass, but I couldn't care about Gao Tian anymore. The Long Teng true energy in my body was working happily and easily expelled alcohol from the body. I smiled and paid attention to Gao Tian's condition. It would be fine if I was drunk. Looking at the situation, Gao Tian had to drink something, but he was not stupid. Seeing that I could drink so much, he was always there. After drinking a few cups, he began to look drunk. Finally, he simply lay on the table and refused to get up no matter how others called. I think he was at most six or seven points drunk, and the remaining three or four points were pretending. In this case, Mingzhe was a good choice to protect himself.

However, the toasts no longer bothered to call Gao Tian to drink. They might have gradually felt something was wrong. They were already a little drunk. The smile on my face, the little captain who was bombarded by them, was still the same, and my eyes were so clear and there was no drunkenness at all, which surprised them.

Lin Chonggao saw that these people couldn't handle me anymore and said to me with a smile:

"Company Commander Lu is really a huge amount. I'll ask a few more people to accompany you to drink. In short, I'll have to drink it tonight!"

I was secretly complaining in my heart. It turned out that this small P county is really hidden. This time he must have asked a professional drinker to come on. I quickly said:

"Secretary Lin, I have already drunk it. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality today. You see that my comrades are already drunk, so I can't drink it anymore. Starting tomorrow, the work task is also very heavy!"

Lin Chonggao said with a smile:

"It's okay, just go back and take a break after drinking! You are so young and in good health, no problem. Even if you can't get up tomorrow, Liu Kehua, Luo Weidong and others will handle their work!"

Liu Kehua and Luo Weidong quickly agreed with Secretary Lin's words.

After Lin Chonggao finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and started calling people over without saying a word. I smiled bitterly and said to myself: "Who said that people in the army are drinking hard, I think the place is even more powerful..."

After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in. When I saw that the three of them were all blushing with beer belly, and their faces were red. They saw that they were specialized in drinking with their leaders. As soon as they came in, the leader said:

"Hello, leaders, leaders!"

Then he sat down, picked up the chopsticks and said:

"Sorry, eat something to put your stomach on..."

After saying that, the three of them started eating in big mouthfuls. I saw it and thought to myself:

“Professional enough…”

After eating for a while, they stopped at the same time, and the person who was still the leader said:

"I'll pay a respect for a while..."

After saying that, he stood up, took a bottle of Wuliangye and a two-two cup, and started to toast one by one. Except for Gao Tian who was lying on the table and the two people he brought, everyone present toasted a glass. In the blink of an eye, one or two kilograms of white wine was eaten. Then he smiled at Lin Chonggao and said:

"Secretary Lin, I heard that there were guests coming from afar today. The three of us went to the toast bar!"

Lin Chonggao nodded with a smile. The three of them immediately filled the wine, and the leading man said to me:

"This leader, welcome to our P County! I toast you this glass of wine, I will do it first!"

After saying that, I dried the wine in one sip, and I said with a smile:

"Thank you!"

After saying that, he raised his glass to Lin Chonggao and then drank the wine in one sip. The second guy immediately said:

"Okay! This chief is so happy! I'll give a cup to the chief!"

Next is the third person...

I can't remember how many bottles of Wuliangye we drank. I only know that almost all the people on the table fell down, including a few professional drinkers. And when I had the last few glasses, I didn't use Longteng's true energy to force myself to drink. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I immediately felt dizzy. This was what I wanted. I said to Lin Chonggao, the only sober on the scene, with a little big tongue:

"Lin...Secretary, I am really drunk today...I, Lu Changfeng, have never drunk so much...I've been so happy. Thank you today...I've been entertained...I really can't do it anymore, I can't drink anymore. I think...I'll stop here today?"

Give him enough face, this kind of semi-drunk state cannot be pretended. Sure enough, Lin Chonggao said:

"Okay! Commander Lu is so happy! I'm drinking this wine today! Haha, I'll ask someone to send you back!"

After saying that, he called his own driver to come up and helped us downstairs.

Until he got on Secretary Lin's car No. 1, Gao Tian was still sleeping soundly. Secretary Lin said to me in front of the car window:

"You can take my car back to the hotel first. The Armed Forces Department will send a car to pick you up tomorrow morning!"

I quickly said, "Thank you Secretary Lin..."
Chapter completed!
