Chapter 85 Seeing the truth in wine
"Ma Zhishu, you people in Dashan Village can't even feed themselves, mainly to eat relief and poverty alleviation funds. Can the farmers you report feed the pigs and chicken seedlings given to them?" Zhu Daidong walked around the mountain village, and the situation here was much worse than he thought. Therefore, he expressed doubts about the practice of more than 200 farmers in Ma Mingyi's breath.
"Isn't the village still providing free feed? We just need to feed them frequently. Ma Mingyi smiled and said that he wanted to change the situation of Dashan Village too much. Although he had only worked for more than ten years, he took over from his father's hand. His father's greatest wish was to let the people of Dashan Village live on the ground, but he did not do this until his death. After Ma Mingyi succeeded his father as the new Dashan village secretary, he had only one mission, so that the people of Dashan village could eat and wear warm, but such a seemingly simple requirement, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dashan Village has never really achieved it.
"But even a few pieces of sheep manure in your Dashan Village will cause a dispute. Do you think that the sheep dung in Dashan Village can make more than 200 farmers cook the pig food of more than 2,000 pigs? I'm afraid that all the sheep dung in your mountain village is only enough to cook. It takes at least half a year for a pig to be slaughtered. You can't let the pig eat raw every day, can you? Zhu Daidong sneered and said, "You can eat as much as you eat. Dashan Village can only approve ten farmers this year."
"Chang Zhu, please don't, but it's the hope of our big mountain village. You also know how poor our big mountain village is. Ten farmers are just a drop in the bucket, and it won't help at all." Ma Mingyi was anxious. Ten farmers can't solve the problem of the big mountain village at all. At least half The backward situation of the big mountain village.
"You can't make a fat man in one bite, and the situation in the big mountain village can't be solved at one time. It's a good policy to do it step by step." Zhu Daidong understood Ma Mingyi's mood, but Dashan Village is like a patient who has been sick for a long time. If he takes heavy medicine, the patient may not be able to stand it. In the end, the disease is not cured and he is desperate.
"Zhu Xiangchang, it's time to eat now. Do you want to eat? We will discuss this matter later. Anyway, the feed factory has not been put into production yet. We have plenty of time." Ma Mingyi turned his eyes. He didn't have a deep relationship with Zhu Daidong. The best way to change Zhu Daidong's thinking is not to talk face to face, but to have a dinner table.
Although Dashan Village is the poorest mountain village in Shuling Township, there are many leaders who are entertained every year. Otherwise, who will send out relief, grain and poverty alleviation funds for no reason? This is also the biggest difference between Ma Mingyi and Ma Laozhishu. The old Mazhishu has been fair and honest all his life. Therefore, under his leadership, the relief funds, relief, grain and poverty alleviation funds can only be the same as the average level of the whole township. However, after Ma Mingyi took office, this situation has been greatly changed. Every year, Dashan Village receives much more relief and poverty alleviation funds than before. This has a lot to do with Ma Mingyi's reluctance to invest at the dinner table, and now, he wants to use this trick to deal with Zhu Daidong.
"No, I have something else to do in the afternoon. I've almost seen the situation in Dashan Village. Let's eat again next time if there is a chance." Zhu Daidong shook his head. In such a situation as a big mountain village, he really didn't want to increase the burden of the big mountain village. Although the village rules stipulate that you have to pay for meals in the village, in fact, which village will charge such money? And with the standard of three yuan per meal, it is enough for him to have a meal.
"This doesn't work. The food has been prepared for a long time. It's specially prepared for you. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste." How could Ma Mingyi let Zhu Daidong go? He took his arm and dragged him home.
"Is it specially prepared for me? Then I can't eat here." Zhu Daidong shook his head firmly. His deputy township head did not want to enjoy this kind of "specially" prepared food.
"It's specially prepared, but it's not something special. Just eat whatever you want." Ma Mingyi quickly smiled.
"Okay, but I have to pay the meal according to the actual cost. It's all my treat at noon." Zhu Daidong is at least a household of 10,000 yuan now. If it was in Houjiatang Village, he would not be polite, but when he got to Dashan, he really couldn't bear it.
Ma Mingyi's home is similar to that of other villagers. There is only one floor of the stone-made house, with some tiles on it. The only difference is that there are a few more houses, and there is a yard in front of it. Entering the yard, he immediately smelled a strong fragrance. Ma Mingyi prepared a whole sheep banquet for Zhu Daidong.
"Ma Zhishu, is this what you mean by casual eating? If the so-called 'eat casually' in your Dashan Village is a whole sheep banquet, then I would like to congratulate you. Dashan Village has entered the well-off level in advance. Zhu Daidong snorted coldly with a calm face.
"Chief Zhu, don't be angry. The only thing our village can do is sheep. We can't let you eat bran like us, right?" Seeing that Zhu Daidong seemed to be really angry, Ma Mingyi quickly explained.
"But don't entertain me with a whole sheep. How much does it cost? One hundred and fifty? Two hundred?" Zhu Daidong took out 200 yuan from his body and put it on the table. "If I had known this, I might as well go and invite you again. It won't cost 200 yuan."
"Zhu Xiangchang, in fact, this sheep can't use so much. You just need to pay 50 yuan." Ma Mingyi returned the remaining 150 yuan to Zhu Daidong.
"What you said is the price of the lamb, which is 200 yuan." Zhu Daidong waved his hand and ate 200 yuan for a meal in Dashan Village. If he said this, who would believe it?
"But this is really... Chief Zhu, I'm embarrassed." After being the village secretary for so many years, it is the first time that Ma Mingyi has heard the meal expenses of the township leader, and it is so much, which is really enough to buy a whole sheep.
"If you are embarrassed, just call a few more people to eat together. I'm afraid the two of us can't finish this whole sheep feast." Zhu Daidong laughed and said that now that he has paid, the food on the table is his.
Ma Mingyi didn't call many people. He only called one and met Li Shun in Zhu Daidong at the entrance of the village.
"Look, I said, when the township cadres come, there will be delicious food in the secretary's house." When Li Shun saw the whole sheep banquet on the table, he looked contemptuous.
"I said Lao Li, this is the money paid by the head of Zhu, a whole two hundred yuan, and the village has made money this time." Ma Mingyi took out Zhu Daidong's 200 yuan and raised it to Li Shun. It's Chief Zhu's treat today.
"I said, why did you ask me to have such a meal? It turned out to be the money paid by the head of Xiao Zhu, so I'm not polite." Li Shun sat down, grabbed a sheep's hoof and nibbled it like no one else.
Zhu Daidong and Ma Mingyi smiled at each other. This old man Li is really rude.
"Uncle Li, would you like some wine?" Ma Mingyi asked with a smile.
"Of course there must be wine if there is meat, but who pays for this wine?" Li Shun asked.
"I'll pay. There is still a lot of money for the head of Zhu, which is just the money for wine." Ma Mingyi said quickly.
"Ma Zhishu, there is no need to drink wine. I have to go back to my hometown in the afternoon." Zhu Daidong said.
"How can a man not drink some wine? You, the head of the township, are really too. You don't even dare to drink wine," Li Shun hummed.
"The old man's drinking capacity has been tested by the Korean battlefield. Up to now, it is also a rare opponent in the village." Ma Mingyi said that Li Shun likes to see Zhenzhang in wine. The old man is good if he doesn't smoke. As long as he can drink half a catty with him, he can talk to him.
"Okay, let's have some." Zhu Daidong smiled. He didn't know why Ma Mingyi called Li Shun, but since Ma Mingyi did this, he must have his meaning. He had to drink when eating. This is the habit of Chinese people. Let's take it one step by step.
