Chapter 1192 Light Clouds and Light Wind

The old Taoist priest had already cooked a good dish. Today, a distinguished guest came, and he took a lot of effort. He made fried tofu, sauced tofu, mushroom tofu balls, fried gold bars, emerald tofu soup, old soup vegetarian chicken, Wensi tofu, vegetarian duck, fried thousands of pieces. The staple food is to

Margaret really praised Li Xinyi's cooking skills, especially the emerald tofu soup he made and asked him how to do it.

Li Xinyi said, "It's very simple. It's nothing more than cucumbers and tofu, supplemented with shredded grass mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Cucumbers should be peeled and chopped into foam. Tofu should be made with soft and tender water tofu. The tofu you eat today is all made by myself. The key If the heat passes, the fragrance of the cucumber will be completely lost. After this dish is made, the color is green, the tofu is fresh and tender, and the soup is delicious. It has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and lungs, moistening the skin and skin, nourishing the liver and stomach. It is especially suitable for

Chu Yanran smiled and said, "I heard the Taoist priest's words so touchingly. I want to worship you as a teacher and learn how to make this dish from you."

Li Xinyi said happily, "Why is it difficult to learn this dish? I'll write the recipe for you later, and you can make it for Zhang Yang in the future."

Margaret said, "You can't eat such a delicious dish in the United States."

Li Xinyi said, "The Chinese food culture is extensive and profound. How can it be compared with other countries?" He obviously scoffed at foreign food, which also showed that he was proud of his patriotism.

Margaret smiled, and of course she would not argue with the old Taoist priest about it.

After lunch, Chen Chongshan accompanied Margaret to the sea view stone behind the Zixia View. The red sun was in the sky, and the clouds were light and the wind was light. Although he could not see the magnificent scenery of the surging clouds and tides, he could see the distant Chunyang County when standing here, which made people feel broad-minded.

Chen Chongshan said, "Sister-in-law, how have you been these days?" After all, Margaret is an American. Since Chu Zhennan's death, she has been waiting under the ginkgo tree with the ashes of Chu Zhennan. I don't know if she is used to foreign life?

Margaret said, "I always feel that the old man has always been with me. He didn't leave, but in my heart." She glanced at Chen Chongshan and said, "You and Qiu Min have been separated for so many years. How did you get here?"

Chen Chongshan said, "In those days, I did complain about the injustice of fate, but after so many years, when I was getting old, I found that if I didn't have such an experience, maybe my memory would not be so deep. My feelings for Qiu Min have never changed, getting stronger and stronger, as you said. She is in my heart, forever." There was no sadness on Chen Chongshan's face, and the corners of his lips rippled with a faint smile.

Margaret said, "Young people will not understand the feelings of our generation."

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "Emotion is a very personal thing. You can collect it for a lifetime without letting others know."

Margaret said, "I'm going back to the United States."

Chen Chongshan said, "I remember you said last time that you would stay in China forever."

Margaret said, "I don't have many days to live. This time when I go back, I'm going to see my hometown. After I die, let Yanran take me back to the old man and go to heaven to quarrel with him."

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "Well, Qiu Min and I still don't want to be neighbors with you, or we will be disturbed by you all day long."

Margaret smiled and said, "Even if I want to, the old man may not be willing. He will definitely pester you. Without you, he is like missing the backbone."

Chen Chongshan raised his head and looked at the distant sky: "We are all gone. At the beginning, I, Lao Du and Lao Chu, the three of us fought side by side and fought for our common cause. Now I am the only one left. Sometimes I often think that they just left first and were not far away waiting for me to meet them.

Margaret said, "My life is almost over, and I suddenly find that what I have experienced, whether it is sad or happy, is worth it."

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "There is not so much sadness in life. We didn't understand this truth when we were young. In retrospect, in fact, this life is wonderful."

Margaret also laughed with him.

Zhang Daguan didn't expect that the difficult thing he encountered at the ticket gate would spread out so soon. He was still chatting with Li Xinyi in Zixiaguan. She Guomin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Heishanzi Township, rushed over. He happened to be doing research near Qingtai Mountain today. When he heard about this, he quickly came up

Zhang Yang and She Guomin had not been in contact with each other before, but this time She Guomin was accompanied by Geng Xiuju, the deputy head of the township. Geng Xiuju was Chen Xue's mother and Chen Chongshan's daughter-in-law. Over the years, Chen Chongshan had no contact with her. Geng Xiuju used Wang Boxiong, the secretary of the party committee, had an underground relationship for a period of time. His reputation was not very good in Heishanzi Township. Chen Chongshan also respected his daughter-in-law for this reason, but no matter how the kinship is, it cannot be denied.

Zhang Yang was quite polite to Geng Xiuju. He smiled and said, "Sister Geng, I haven't seen you for so long. You are still so young and beautiful."

Geng Xiuju said with a smile, "Secretary Zhang, don't make fun of me. I'm specially bringing our Secretary She to meet you today." She introduced the people around her to Zhang Yang. Now Zhang Yang is already a deputy department-level cadre. In terms of level, there are many township cadres higher than the people of She. She is obviously lack of confidence in front of Zhang Yang. With a charming smile on his face, he held Zhang Yang's right hand with both hands and shook it hard: "Secretary Why didn't you tell me in advance when I came to Qingtai Mountain this time, so that I could make arrangements for the old leader.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's good."

She Guomin said, "Secretary Zhang must give more valuable opinions when he comes back this time to see if there is any change and development in Qingtai Mountain."

Chu Yanran said, "It has changed a lot. In the past, there were no toll stations from Jingshan to Chunyang, but now there are more than a dozen more places to sell tickets. It's really a great economic development."

When She Guomin heard this, his old face was a little hot. He also heard about what happened to Zhang Yang. She Guomin coughed and explained, "Secretary Zhang, I've heard about it. I will deal with those two managers seriously later."

Zhang Yang said, "What are you doing with them? They are also conscientious, Secretary She. I think you can not only deal with it, but also praise them. The economy in the countryside is driven by their tickets one by one.

She's face turned red, which is obviously not a good thing.

When Geng Xiuju saw that the atmosphere was not right, she quickly helped to round up and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."

She Guomin took the opportunity to sit down. He explained to Zhang Yang, "In fact, the charges in Qingyun Zhuhai and Qingyunfeng are not settled in our township. We don't have that much courage. This is the decision of the county. We local cadres are still clear about the situation here, and we usually don't have many tours. If the guest comes here, they will be even more reluctant to come here for this fee.

Li Xinyi, an old Taoist priest, said, "And my Zixiaguan. In the past, there were a few xiang guests every day. There was a ticket booth in the countryside. Well, no one wants to come. I have to pay for Laojun's incense money."

Chu Yanran couldn't help laughing.

She's face is getting more and more ugly.

Geng Xiuju said, "Taoist Master Li, isn't there a subsidy in the township about your problem? It's the beginning now, and the situation will definitely get better and better in the future. The township is also preparing to make the temple fair of Zixiaguan bigger. After our publicity, your Taoist temple will definitely become more and more famous The more prosperous it is.

Li Xinyi said, "I'm a practitioner, and I'm not a business owner. What a temple fair is just to get a group of hawkers to make money here under the guise of our Zixiaguan. Laojun won't agree."

She Guomin said, "Mr. Li, we will bring this matter to the county. The county will give priority to solving religious matters." He smiled at Zhang Yang again and said, "Secretary Zhang, as you know, I am a township cadre. Many policies are set by the top, and I, as a subordinate, can only implement them."

Zhang Yang said, "You also have the right to advise. Seeing some unreasonable situations, grass-roots cadres have the obligation to remind their superiors."

She Guomin said, "Actually, I also know that it is not good to circle every scenic spot and collect tickets now. This is called killing chickens to get eggs, and fish for the water. In the short term, you can indeed see some benefits, and the disadvantages will slowly appear later."

Zhang Yang said, "Lao Sha is still the secretary of the county party committee, right?" The old Sha he said was Sha Puyuan, the secretary of Chunyang County Party Committee.

She Guomin nodded and said, "Yes." After saying that, there is no follow-up. He can't comment too much on his superior leaders in front of Zhang Yang. If Sha Puyuan knows this kind of thing, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

She Guomin came here this time mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Yang would be angry. After seeing Zhang Yang, he found that the legend did not pay attention to this little thing at all. He couldn't help but regret it. He thought too much that there was no need to come here at all.

Geng Xiuju didn't want to meet Chen Chongshan, and she was obviously a little restless, so the two didn't stay long before they got up and left. She Guomin invited Zhang Yang to hold a banquet for him that night.

Zhang Yang said, "No, I have to take Yanran home later. Wait for the next time."

She Guomin did not force it. Knowing that it was difficult to show off this Bodhisattva, he politely said goodbye to them now.

Coincidentally, as soon as Geng Xiuju and the others left, Chen Chongshan accompanied Margaret back.

Old Taoist priest Li Xinyi said, "Lao Chen, your daughter-in-law has just left."

Chen Chongshan said indifferently, "My son is not here, and there is no daughter-in-law." RS
