Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

The kitchen was very busy, and more than a dozen dishes were put on the table. Among them, stir-fried pickled cabbage with dried chili peppers, braised pork ribs, and braised eggplant with green peppers. These three dishes were cooked by Zhao Deming.

The remaining mutton stewed with radish, steamed sea bass, stir-fried yellow beef, fried pepper pork belly, spicy chicken, sliced ​​duck, sliced ​​meat lettuce, scrambled eggs with spinach, stir-fried bitter gourd, spicy and sour potato shreds and a bowl of cabbage, tofu and vermicelli soup are Shen Qiansan did it.

There are also four side dishes: molded tofu, folded root, fried peanuts and orchid beans.

Chicken, duck, and fish are all available, as well as meat and vegetables. It’s hearty but not too luxurious.

Of course, this is what it will look like when people’s living standards are higher in later generations.

Especially Shen Qiansan, he had too many feasts.

In his eyes, these dishes can only be regarded as common food, used to entertain Zhao Deming, and they are of very low standards.

But in 1991, when ordinary people across the country had just solved the problem of food and clothing and were developing towards eating well, so many dishes were definitely considered a luxury.

Zhao Deming sat at the table and said with some emotion: "It's so rich!"

There are so many dishes, even when he entertains his superiors, they are rarely so sumptuous.

Chen Wentao only thought that Zhao Deming was being polite and said quickly: "These are common meals. We usually eat these."

He was telling the truth. Ever since he came to Shen Qiansan's house, every meal had more than a dozen dishes.

At first, he also felt that it was a waste of money.

But as time went by, I got used to it.

He glanced at Shen Qiansan, as if he was blaming him, and said that he wanted to treat Mayor Zhao to a meal, which should be more sumptuous.

It’s almost the same dish as usual, so how can you show enthusiasm?

After hearing Chen Wentao's words, Zhao Deming was secretly surprised. Good guy, if your daily life is at this level, I'm afraid there won't be many of them in the entire Qingwa City!

As the mayor of Qingwa City, he certainly knows the living standards of the people in Qingwa City.

He couldn't help but glance at Shen Qiansan and mentally labeled him as "greedy for enjoyment".

Zhao Deming was not happy with young people who were greedy for enjoyment.

He experienced the Great Famine of 59 and three years of natural disasters. He came through hardships and maintained a simple life style even though he was in a high position.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t all become mayors, and still like to eat such a simple dish as stir-fried pickled cabbage with dried chili peppers.

Chen Wentao didn't know that his kind words would greatly reduce Shen Qiansan's impression in Zhao Deming's heart, otherwise he would definitely regret saying so.

He was not aware of Zhao Deming's reaction, and said to Shen Qiansan while still caring about himself: "Qiansan, go get the wine quickly!"

He also specially emphasized: "Take Maotai!"

Different from Chen Wentao's reaction, Shen Qiansan lived two lives. In his last life, he lived for more than ninety years and achieved amazing achievements. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old monster.

How keen is his vision?

Even though Zhao Deming's expression did not change, he was aware of the subtle changes in his expression and even guessed the reason.

However, he didn't mind either.

He didn't care what others thought of him.

Besides, for him, his current living standard is really the simplest.

After hearing what Chen Wentao said, he casually responded: "Okay!"

Then go get the wine.

"Forget it Maotai!" Zhao Deming saw it and quickly stopped him.

In 1991, the salary of ordinary workers was only 180 yuan a month, but the price of Moutai was already yuan a bottle, and it was often priced but not available. Basically, it was bought by people with connections as soon as it came out. It's gone, and ordinary people can't buy it at all.

The Maotai liquor at Shen Qiansan's house was given by Wang Jianlin and Zhao Hanyu.

Chen Wentao still thought that Zhao Deming was still being polite and said with a smile: "Mayor Zhao, this is your first time as a guest at home, so you must have some wine!"

Zhao Deming said: "It's okay to drink some wine, just drink our Qingwa's loose white wine."

The implication is that Moutai is too luxurious.

One bottle of wine costs an average worker two months' salary.

Even if he usually entertains guests, he rarely serves Maotai.

Qingwa City is also very famous for its bulk liquor, which is made from corn and is called "Bianshan Daqu" by the locals.

This means that there are corns grown all over the mountains in Qingwa City, and the wine brewed from the corns has an alcohol content of over 50 degrees. It is both delicious and cheap, costing only 1 yuan per kilogram.

Zhao Deming usually drinks this kind of "Bi Shan Da Qu" at home, and he is very accustomed to the taste.

In fact, Chen Wentao also drank "Bianshan Daqu" before, and usually did not drink bottled wine. But since I came to Shen Qiansan’s house, I mostly drink bottled wine, not to mention Dundun Moutai.

Although the price is not higher than Moutai, it is basically more than ten or twenty twenty per bottle.

There is really no "Bi Shan Da Qu" left at home. Even other bottled wines only have half a bottle left.

Chen Wentao said: "Mayor Zhao, we only have Moutai at home!"

When Zhao Deming heard this, he felt even more that Shen Qiansan lived a luxurious life, and he only drank Maotai!

He wanted to stop drinking, but he thought of Shen Qiansan's "talent" and he was a guest. The so-called guests did as they pleased, so he couldn't be too tough, so he had to hold back and say nothing.

At this time, Shen Qiansan had already brought two bottles of Maotai.

Chen Wentao quickly took the bottle and said with a smile: "I'll pour the wine."

He quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, filled a cup for Zhao Deming first, then poured it for Zhao Hanyu and Shen Qiansan, and finally poured a cup for himself.

When it comes to drinking in this era, disposable cups are not yet popular. The ones used are ceramic bull-eye cups, which can hold about five yuan of wine.

In fact, drinking alcohol is just like drinking Kung Fu tea.

This kind of small cup is more atmospheric, you can taste it slowly, and you can pour wine continuously, which is very interactive. Unlike later generations, who drank from large glasses, which seemed to save time on pouring the wine. In fact, when drinking like this, there was little interaction other than clinking glasses and toasting.

Interaction is the best way to connect and increase feelings.

So Shen Qiansan actually likes to drink from these bull-eye cups.

After Chen Wentao poured the wine, as the host, it was his turn to speak next.

Pick up the wine glass and toast to Zhao Deming first.

Shen Qiansan said: "Welcome Mayor Zhao to our home, I would like to pay my respects to you first!"

"Thank you!" Zhao Deming said humbly, raised his glass and touched it with Shen Qiansan, and then they drank together.

On the other side, Chen Wentao also clinked glasses with Zhao Hanyu.

After the first glass of wine, we started eating.

Shen Qiansan greeted Zhao Deming and said: "Mayor Zhao, please!"

In this era, when entertaining guests, they usually take the initiative to put food in their bowls to show their enthusiasm.

However, Shen Qiansan didn't have this habit and only said hello.

Zhao Deming also couldn't wait to try the taste of Shen Qiansan's cooking. He immediately responded without being polite and went to pick up a piece of mutton.
