The village cadres obviously arrived earlier than her, and each of them put on their best clothes.

Women's Director Yang Suhua also borrowed her daughter's rouge and put two touches of red on her cheeks. Although it looked a little funny at first, this was the highest courtesy she could think of to receive a leader.

"I'll go to the kitchen to prepare food first."

"Okay, Xu Zhiqing, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

After Xu Wanning finished the preparations, she stewed the chicken stew with mushrooms, which took the longest time, and then started preparing other dishes.

At about ten o'clock, she heard a long sound of a car horn, followed by the noisy cheers of children and the welcome of village cadres.

The leaders from Beijing and the city are in place.

Xu Wanning was not that curious, so she only did her job and did not go out to take a look.

A total of four people got off the car. The one walking at the front was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a slicked back hair. He was wearing a leather jacket and a military coat. He obviously underestimated the physical damage of the black province's winter.

Walking behind him was a middle-aged man with a benevolent appearance and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Following him was a young man in his thirties, with his hair meticulously combed and wearing an improved version of the Mao suit on his upper body, which made him look straight and tall.

The one walking at the back was a slightly shorter man, holding two briefcases in his hands. He was slightly weaker than the two people walking in the middle.

"Welcome several leaders to visit our Dajiang Village for inspection. It's windy outside, so let's go in and have a rest."

The young man raised his eyes and looked around, but did not see the figure he had been thinking about for a long time. Then he lowered his head and whispered to the people around him, and then they entered the brigade together.

Outside, the villagers gathered together to form a dragon gate formation.

"I heard that these leaders are from big cities. Look at their temperament. They are much higher than the captain and others."

"Who says not? Especially the youngest guy, he is so handsome. No one among the young people in our village can compare with him."

"Not to mention our village, even those educated youths from the city, few can compare with us!"

In the temporarily arranged reception room, the captain personally made tea for several people.

When facing these leaders, I couldn't say a single word of the rhetoric I had prepared earlier, and could only keep urging them to drink tea.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.

The main thing is that the biggest leaders the captain and the others have come into contact with are commune leaders, and these few are from the capital.

The man walking at the back pushed up his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Let me introduce you."

"This is Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Health of China, this is Deputy Director Xu from the Beijing Municipal Food and Drug Administration, and this is Director Sun from Chunhua Food Factory in Jiang City."

"Hello, Minister Zhang, Hello, Deputy Director Xu, and Hello, Factory Director Sun." The team leader and several others said hello hurriedly.

After the greetings, Director Sun said with a smile: "Our Chunhua Food Factory is planning to set up a branch factory in a township. No, we finally chose your Dajiang Village. But whether your Dajiang Village has the qualifications to establish a branch factory still needs to be determined. After our inspection.”

"This is natural." The captain said hurriedly: "After the leaders have a rest and have something to eat, we will go on an inspection together."

"Don't worry, I have a few questions to ask you before the inspection."

In the kitchen, Xu Wanning prepared four meat and four vegetarian dishes alone.

Unfortunately, she didn't have enough to eat and didn't have beautiful dishes, so she couldn't arrange the dishes delicately, so she had to use the basins prepared by Accountant Xu in advance to serve the dishes.

It doesn’t look good, but it’s better in quantity.

After finishing her work, Xu Wanning looked at the time. It was [-]:[-], which was almost dinner time.

But there was still business going on in the living room, so she had no choice but to sit on the stool by the fire in the kitchen and take a nap.

Don't mention it, people who are burning on the stove are lazy and just want to sleep.

Someone pushed her shoulder gently while she was in a trance, and Xu Wanning immediately woke up like a conditioned reflex.

"Xu Zhiqing, it's time to serve."

"Oh, okay." Xu Wanning responded and put all the dishes in the basin: "Director Yang, I have to trouble you to serve the dishes. I'm just a cook. It's not easy to meet with several leaders."

The female director felt that what she said made sense, so she didn't force it. She ran a few more times and put all the dishes on the table.

When Minister Zhang saw the filled basins and plates, his smiling face suddenly fell.

"It's just a simple meal. Where do you put us with such big things?"

"Minister Zhang, our farm dishes are all served in big pots like this. It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. Moreover, the chickens are raised by the brigade itself, and the pork is not used much. We always keep in mind the leaders' instructions. I advise you not to waste anything."

The captain was terrified. Fortunately, he listened to Xu Zhiqing and prepared only these dishes. Otherwise, the leaders would have left angrily before the inspection.

Deputy Director Xu also gave some advice, and Minister Zhang's tone softened slightly.

"Are you sure it won't affect the villagers?"

"Minister Zhang, please rest assured that there will be no impact."

Minister Zhang stopped pursuing the matter and started picking up food.

"Looking at the ordinary vermicelli, the taste is indeed extraordinary when stewed like this. And this mushroom, is it a hazelnut mushroom, right?"

"Yes, hazel mushrooms are a specialty of our Dajiang Village." The captain said with a smile: "These are fresh ones that the young people in the village went to the back mountain to pick."

Minister Zhang picked up another piece of hazelnut mushroom, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, but he had already made up his mind.

Deputy Director Xu is more interested in white meat casserole.

He had eaten it several times in Beijing, and almost every chef cooked it with the same taste, but the dish in front of him had a different taste.

He couldn't tell what was different, but he just thought it tasted a lot better.

He, who never pays attention to his appetite, couldn't help but take a few more bites.

Compared with the concerns of Director Zhang and Accountant Xu, Director Sun was obviously much more comfortable and did not put down his chopsticks from beginning to end.

Until his already big belly became round and bulging.

"Village Chief Lin, did you invite the chef from the state-owned hotel in Hedong Town to cook the food?" Director Sun asked as he leaned back in his chair to catch his breath.

He has eaten in state-owned restaurants in various towns below Jiang City, and to be honest, the taste is average.

"He's not a master chef from a state-owned hotel, he's a person from our village."

Is there anyone in Dajiang Village with such good cooking skills?

Director Sun didn't believe it.
