Fang Zhicheng said, "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. I think that's what President Wen once said."

Wen Feng smiled and said, "If I said anything before, I take it back now. The social trend has changed. Boys can be considered excellent only if they can handle both the living room and the kitchen."

Song Wendi raised her eyebrows and pretended to be displeased and said, "So what you mean is that I'm not good enough?"

Wenfeng took the windbreaker from Song Wendi, hung it on the hanger, and said, "You are not a boy, you are already an old man, how can you compare with Zhicheng who is in his prime?"

Song Wendi didn't take it as an offense and said, "Oh, if it could make me ten years younger, that would be great."

Tong Siqing said quickly beside him: "Secretary Song, you are still very young, not old at all."

Song Wendi nodded and said, "Siqing is still good at talking."

The meal was home-cooked. Song Wendi ate two extra bowls of rice and said with a smile, "This oil boat duck is well cooked and has a pure taste."

The method of cooking the mother-oil boat duck is to add mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, pork shreds and other auxiliary ingredients after the whole duck is fried, pour in mother-child soy sauce, and then slowly simmer in a casserole. Fang Zhicheng had eaten it once, and seeing that there were enough ingredients at home, he tried to make it. Of course, because there was no authentic Yinzhou mother-child soy sauce, the taste was still a little lacking. Even so, the dish was still very beautiful, the duck meat was plump and tender, and crispy but not broken.

Oil boat duck is a specialty of Yinzhou. In ancient Yinzhou, boat banquets were popular among the emperors. On fine days in spring and autumn or festivals, they would take a boat on the water and hold banquets on the boat while enjoying the scenery. Du Fu has a poem about boat banquets, "The white teeth and blue eyes are on the boat, and the flute and short flute are sad in the distant sky. The spring breeze is confident that the teeth are moving, and the late sun is slowly watching the brocade cable. The fish blow the waves and shake the singing fans, and the swallows kick the flowers to fall and dance. If there is no small boat to ripple, how can a hundred pots of wine be sent like a spring?"

Fang Zhicheng said, "Boat banquets are popular again in Yinzhou, but they are expensive. A table of dishes costs three to four thousand yuan."

Song Wendi nodded and said, "No need to go to any boat banquet, Zhicheng, in the future you can study out the classic dishes at the boat banquet one by one, and we can eat them as home-cooked dishes, that would be great!"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Boss, I can meet your request. Can I take a leave of absence for half a year and go to the New Oriental Chef Cooking School for further study?"

Wenfeng glared at Song Wendi and said unhappily, "As a teacher, you are really messing around. Is Zhicheng a cook? Also, Zhicheng, don't call him boss in the future. It makes me feel uncomfortable. You two have a master-disciple relationship. In the workplace, you address each other by your position. In life, you address each other as master and disciple, right?"

Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything. He just glanced at Song Wendi, because this required Song Wendi's approval.

Song Wendi coughed and said with a smile, "President Wen has a good idea. Let's do it this way in the future."

Fang Zhicheng quickly smiled and said, "I will be a good disciple and respect my master's wife and master in the future!"

Song Wendi was slightly stunned. Seeing Wenfeng smiling happily, he said helplessly, "Come on, this Master's Wife is ahead of Master. Are you satisfied?"

Wen Feng smiled faintly and said, "I just benefited from your help."

This meal was meaningful, and it really confirmed the master-disciple relationship between Song Wendi and Fang Zhicheng. Although both parties had tacitly agreed before, today it was like breaking the window paper. Under Wenfeng's promotion, the relationship between Song Wendi and Fang Zhicheng was further sublimated. This was a good thing for both of them. First of all, Song Wendi took a step further towards the Su family, and his career path would be broader. Secondly, Fang Zhicheng also had Song Wendi to look after him in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, so he would not be too alone.

Tong Siqing saw Fang Zhicheng and Song Wendi chatting and laughing, and she felt mixed emotions, because she knew Song Wendi very well. He was a serious person both at work and in life. It was hard to imagine that he would open up his emotions.

Fang Zhicheng is a magical person. When he is with her, Song Wendi will keep telling some humorous jokes. After dinner, Wenfeng and Tong Siqing cleaned up the table, while Fang Zhicheng and Song Wendi drank tea and chatted outside the yard.

It was late spring and early summer, and the night air was fresh. Fang Zhicheng made a cup of tea for Song Wendi as usual. Song Wendi tasted it and said, "I'm really curious, why can you always make different flavors with the same tea leaves?"

Fang Zhicheng skillfully fiddled with the tea set and said calmly, "It's just like the same clothes, when worn by different people, they will have different effects. It's the same principle."

Song Wendi smiled and said, "Your conclusion is far-fetched, but this is the only reason that can explain it."

After he finished speaking, he blew on the tea gently and said, "The Development and Reform Commission is a den of tigers and wolves. You have chosen this place, and I am afraid you will be subject to many restrictions. What do you think?"

Chapter 0817 You Should Understand What I Mean

Although Song Wendi is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he focuses his main attention on the provincial capital of Qiongjin, and his layout at the provincial level is not mature enough.

Among the many provincial agencies, the Development and Reform Commission is the one that Song Wendi cannot control the most. Jiang Yong, the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, sees Song Wendi as a thorn in his side, not only because Song Wendi once obstructed his promotion to vice governor, but also because Jiang Yong and Song Wendi are of similar age, but Song Wendi has far surpassed him in terms of position and power, which makes Jiang Yong feel that since he has Yu, why does he have Liang

Song Wendi is a scholar cadre trained by the economic faction. Although Jiang Yong is deeply in the northern camp, he also positions and labels himself as a scholar cadre. Before coming to Huainan, Jiang Yong had many highlights in the economic strategic layout, but after coming to Huainan, he felt that he could not let go.

He made an analysis and concluded that the local scholars and cadres from Huainan, led by Song Wendi, had exactly the same development ideas as his own, which hindered his implementation.

Fang Zhicheng chose to go to the NDRC, and Song Wendi had mixed feelings. He hoped that Fang Zhicheng would find a breakthrough for himself after he joined the NDRC, but it was more likely that Jiang Yong would put all kinds of pressure on him after Fang Zhicheng joined the NDRC, and Fang Zhicheng would have difficulty making any achievements and eventually leave in disgrace. Or even if Jiang Yong caught hold of him, Fang Zhicheng's career would suffer a severe setback.

Song Wendi now wants to know Fang Zhicheng's thoughts and in what ways he can help Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng knew why Song Wendi asked him this, and smiled faintly: "Actually, I don't have too many ideas, I just hope to learn something in this position."

Fang Zhicheng had no need to hide anything in front of Song Wendi, and he spoke the truth. Song Wendi could feel the sincerity of Fang Zhicheng's words. Fang Zhicheng chose to train himself in the Development and Reform Commission just out of his inner preference. Fang Zhicheng felt that he was suitable for this route. He sighed and said, "If you want to become an expert in studying economic conditions and local development, the Development and Reform Commission is indeed a good place."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's enough to learn something. I'm still a long way from being an expert. Besides, I don't like the title of expert. Nowadays, expert is just an insult."

Song Wendi laughed for a while because he found Fang Zhicheng's words interesting. Based on his understanding of Fang Zhicheng, Fang Zhicheng had unique insights into economic trends and regional planning, so it was reasonable for him to go the NDRC route, and he was willing to support him.

Song Wendi said, "Comrade Han Chun, I have already greeted him. He is in charge of the High-tech Industry Department. If you have any questions, you can report to him directly."

Song Wendi's words were very tactful and implicit, but Fang Zhicheng could hear the mystery in them. Shen Hanchun, deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, should be someone in Song Wendi's camp. Fang Zhicheng had learned about the information of the twelve deputy directors of the Development and Reform Commission, and Shen Hanchun ranked fifth, in the middle.

Fang Zhicheng said: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely assist Director Shen."

Song Wendi sighed and said, "Shen Hanchun is a person with a relatively easygoing personality, but he has a solid theoretical foundation and is an expert in macroeconomic research. If it weren't for his lack of political experience, his current position would definitely not be lower than mine. When Premier Siyuan was the provincial party secretary, he also wanted to promote him, but he argued with Premier Siyuan at a meeting, and Premier Siyuan finally considered putting him on the shelf."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "That's quite a pity."

Song Wendi also said with emotion: "I have communicated with Shen Hanchun privately. He does not feel resentful about Premier Siyuan's decision. In fact, Premier Siyuan put him on ice to protect him. If he is allowed to take a higher position, with his personality, he will inevitably offend more people. Letting Shen Hanchun stay in the Development and Reform Commission and study the economic situation and regional planning is also his ideal state. However, after Jiang Yong became the director of the Development and Reform Commission, Shen Hanchun is not so relaxed anymore."

Fang Zhicheng nodded. He dared to challenge the provincial party secretary in the meeting. In the team meetings of the Development and Reform Commission, Shen Hanchun probably often stood up and played against Jiang Yong.

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and smiled, "It sounds like my immediate boss is a difficult guy to deal with."
