Rebirth of Minister Qi

Deputy Mayor Zhu of a certain place felt that Qi Tongwei's family was quite easy to get along with. People in his position were all very good at dealing with people. His initial hostility towards Qi Tongwei for being more handsome than him was quickly eliminated, and his speech became much nicer.

“Teacher Zhang, Mr. Qi, please try the food here. It’s authentic Sichuan cuisine, but the spiciness is acceptable, and the dishes are also very classic.

This restaurant was opened by my friend. His family has been a Sichuan chef in Beijing. His father learned the craft from the owner of Sichuan Flavor House in Beijing, and later opened his own restaurant in the 1990s. This year, he opened a branch in Jiangzhou.

You see, these dishes have authentic taste and exquisite presentation that they inherited from their master. "

When Qi Tongwei heard this, he felt it was a little familiar. He remembered that when he lived in Xiawazi Hutong, sometimes he was too lazy to cook, so he would go to the Sichuan Restaurant in Nanluoguxiang to eat. He just didn't know if it was the same restaurant.

"Beijing Sichuan Flavor House? Is it the one in Nanluoguxiang, the one that's located in a courtyard house?"

When Deputy Mayor Zhu heard this, he knew that Qi Tongwei had seen the world, and he also wanted to show off.

"Oh, yes, yes, it seems Mr. Qi has been there too. That restaurant was one of the first to open in the 1980s. It was invested by Hong Kong businessmen at the time, and they invited the canteen director from the state-owned factory outside Dongzhimen.

It is said that the canteen director learned his skills from Fengzeyuan before the liberation. Before the public-private partnership, the taste of Fengzeyuan was very authentic, but later it deteriorated a lot.

This master went to a large state-owned factory to work as a chef team leader. My friend's father was an apprentice of this master in that state-owned factory.

Their craftsmanship is not a wild one.”

Qi Tongwei nodded while eating. He seemed to have some impression that when he bought the house in Nanluoguxiang, his aunt specifically said that the house belonged to the owner of Sichuan Flavor House, but it seemed that he did not have a good ending in the end.

"That master, his name is not He Yuzhu, right? I heard about him in the news a few years ago, and it seemed that he was not happy in his later years. At that time, I was working in Beijing and lived in Xiawazi Hutong in the north.

That year, people nearby were discussing this matter, saying that the children were unfilial.

The children were also taken away by the police.”

When Deputy Mayor Zhu heard this, he thought that the person on the other side was a smart person.

"Mr. Qi once worked in Beijing. I heard that the alleys there are very expensive.

Your accent doesn't sound like it either.

Alas, Master He’s cooking skills were excellent, but he was not so good at teaching children. In his later years, he was abandoned by his children and froze to death on the road. It’s a tragedy to talk about it.

The news of Master He's unexpected death also made my friend very sad. It seemed that his children later moved away from Nanluoguxiang.

If you ask me, children who abandon their fathers should be sentenced to prison. If they don’t move away, they will be stabbed by their neighbors in the future.”

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly and continued with a serious expression.

"This is indeed a sad thing. In the end, the police confirmed that his children were suspected of abandonment, and all three of them were sentenced.

At that time, I was assigned to Beijing right after graduation. I worked in Beijing for several years and was quite familiar with the area there. Isn't Ruonan a local of Beijing? We met in the alley there.

I am from Handong, and my hometown is Lincheng City. "

Deputy Mayor Zhu was surprised that Qi Tongwei knew so much.

"Alas, every family has its own problems, and we outsiders cannot say anything. The police have confirmed the crime of abandonment, so they must have some evidence.

Speaking of Lincheng, I went there last year and I know quite a few leaders in your Lincheng. Your place is now a logistics center, a railway distribution center, and there are many minerals and special steel companies. It has developed well in recent years.

Does Yi Xuexi know the current deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission? He received us during our inspection and I heard that he is deeply trusted by the provincial leaders and may become the mayor next. "

"I know Secretary Yi Xuexi. He is a senior official in my hometown. He used to be the director of the Public Security Bureau. I met him when he came to my hometown."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Mayor Zhu was surprised. This young clerk had quite a high level of contacts and had even worked in Beijing.

"Brother, I didn't realize you have such a wide range of social contacts.

The boss is here, this is my friend, Mr. Ma.

That is the disciple of Master He Yuzhu whom you just mentioned.

Now he is a top-class technician."

Deputy Mayor Zhu stood up and shook hands with Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma and a person next to him looked at Qi Tongwei with a thoughtful expression.

"Mayor Zhu, did you enjoy your meal? Do you need more food? Who is this? She looks familiar."

Deputy Mayor Zhu stood up and greeted Boss Ma.

“The food is really good, I’ll just eat it for now, it should be enough.

This is Mr. Qi. It’s normal that you think he looks familiar. He used to work in Beijing and lived near Nanluoguxiang. Maybe we met at that time.

Now I work in Pujiang New District. ”

Boss Ma seemed to have found the answer and took the initiative to shake hands with Qi Tongwei.

"Oh, they are all our old neighbors. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I used to live in Beixiawazi Hutong and often went to Chuanweiju for dinner. Maybe I've seen him there."

Boss Ma is also a very smart person. Unlike his father Ma Hua who only cared about learning skills, he immediately climbed up the pole.

"We are all old neighbors. I will give you two more dishes. Please enjoy your meals. If there is anything lacking, please feel free to give me your advice."

As he said this, he clasped his fists and greeted everyone before leaving.

After taking just two steps, Boss Ma felt something was wrong.

“I know all the neighbors nearby, I’m sure I haven’t seen him there before, his face looks really familiar.

What was it called just now?"

Boss Ma asked the manager who was standing beside him.

"It's said that his surname is Qi. This surname is quite rare. I know that the director of the Public Security Bureau in Jiangzhou is named Qi."

This last sentence reminded Boss Ma, who was watching the news on TV in his office.

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, member of the Standing Committee of Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of Pujiang New District Party Committee, attended the symposium for veteran cadres in Pujiang New District.

At the meeting, retired veteran cadres put forward positive suggestions for economic and social development..."

The scene changed, and a picture appeared of Qi Tongwei holding the hand of a 90-year-old party member and talking continuously. Isn't this the person sitting outside eating?

Boss Ma and the manager looked at each other but didn't dare to disturb him anymore. It was obvious that Deputy Mayor Zhu across the street didn't know his identity, otherwise why would he eat in the open box?

"Boss, what should I do? Should I go and say hello again?"

Boss Ma waved his hand.
