Before the holiday
Zhang Feng did not hesitate to go to the city to report on the work errands at night. The excuses are naturally easy to find. He also arranges a list of people who will go to Shanghai tomorrow. There are a lot of tasks to be confessed. , Secretary Xu had to work hard.
Zhang Feng knew very well that he was not qualified to have a relationship with the city leaders at this time, and he would let Xu Yuan or Tan Jinghan do it if he ran out of publicity. Without this self-knowledge, he would sooner or later be swallowed with dregs. Besides, it is not uncommon for him to use Xu Yuan to establish relations with city leaders.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the Director of Finance Huang Ying personally led the team and transferred ten key business personnel from the Finance Bureau system. Most of them were the staff who had worked in the nitrogen fertilizer plant two days ago, plus Tang Shenghua, the office director of the Engineering Command Center. , A group of twelve people rushed to Xinyang Airport with Zhang Feng, and then twelve people flew to Shanghai by plane.
Zhang Feng returned to the city, and Shanghai had already made arrangements. After Huang Ying led the people, someone took them to the hotel. After the stock purchase certificate was handed over, the staff was arranged to stay behind. Huang Ying and Xiao Tang can both It's been the New Year since they went home, and the left-behind staff received a subsidy of 100 yuan a day, which is quite a high salary. At this time, most ordinary workers earn less than 100 yuan a month.
I first reported to Yu Mei's house and talked about the nitrogen fertilizer plant, and then Zhang Feng went to Zhang's Pharmaceutical.
Chen Huishan is indeed an academic lunatic, and she still stayed in the laboratory these days. When Zhang Feng came, she just came out of the laboratory, and when Zhang Feng came in, she smiled and said, "Well, good luck, I can have a good meal at noon. Up."
Zhang Feng was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard this: "When I was away, you were hungry?"
Chen Huishan said: "Almost. After eating the food you cooked, the food bought outside is not so delicious. I don't have time to go out and buy food. Or else, you can get a few boxes of fast food noodles. Hungry. Just cook the bowl of noodles at the time."
Zhang Feng had a headache: "That won't work. Sooner or later, I will be exhausted, and I will not be able to do experiments and research. Why, I teach you how to cook?" Thinking back to another life experience, often Enjoying Chen Huishan's skillful cooking, Zhang Feng's heart suddenly became warm. Chen Huishan is a very serious person, and strives for perfection no matter what she does.
Therefore, after she learns to cook, the thoughts spent on it are absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people. She can make several identical dishes in succession, so that you can't taste the slightest difference. Condiments and heat can be done. The difference is a little bit, keep improving, just like doing experiments, and every dish strives for the best recipe.
Thinking that after Chen Huishan learns to cook, especially if he becomes obsessed with cooking, he can have endless tastes. Zhang Feng has already seen a happy golden flower, and his eyes stop on the bridge of Chen Huishan’s delicate nose for a few seconds. , Then said: "How about? Think about it. In fact, cooking is similar to doing experiments in a laboratory. It's also very interesting. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Chen Huishan tilted her head suspiciously, and looked at Zhang Feng for a moment before she said: "You don't have any conspiracy, right?"
Zhang Feng sweated on his back, and then smiled: "What conspiracy can there be to teach you how to cook? Could it be possible to abduct you."
Chen Huishan nodded approvingly, and said, "Maybe it's really possible." After a pause, she suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "Have we met somewhere before? Why do I always feel like I know you? It's been a long time."
When Zhang Feng heard this, his body was stiff for a moment, but he recovered instantly: "Yes, I also feel that way. Maybe, we knew each other when we were young? It's just slowly forgotten when we grow up."
Chen Huishan smiled and said: "Fuck you, I went to the United States when I was four years old, how could I know you."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Then there is only one possibility."
Chen Huishan was startled when she heard the words, and said: "What is it possible? Don't say you met in a dream."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly: "Why are you like the roundworm in my stomach, you know everything."
Chen Huishan made a disgusting expression: "Don't be disgusting, what roundworm is almost dead!"
Zhang Feng laughed and said: "You said that you met in your dream, but not me," he said after a pause, "Fate!"
When Chen Huishan heard these two words, she didn't have a strange expression. Instead, she tilted her head and thought, and then asked Zhang Feng, "What do these two words mean? It seems that I often hear people talk about it, but I don't really understand what it means?"
This time it was Zhang Feng's turn to be stunned, and he looked as though he was defeated: "Fate is... the meaning of fate..."
Chen Huishan said: "Fate? Isn't that what the monk said when begging for food? What is the fate..."
Zhang Feng couldn't help coughing twice, and almost laughed, and said: "You fake foreign devil... I can't speak the local dialect, forget it, let's go shopping for groceries on the street, and I will explain to you what fate is when we come back later. !"
When the two came back from the outside with big bags and small bags, it was already past noon. It was not that they deliberately lingered, but Chen Huishan had no idea about cooking. Zhang Feng wasted half an hour just by introducing condiments and buying seasonings. This is still not explained in detail. In fact, according to Chen Huishan's request, Zhang Feng can't explain it in detail.
I went to the bookstore again and bought a lot of recipes, so when I came back, it was a little late. Then until the evening, Zhang Feng began to suffer. The same scrambled eggs with chives were eaten nine times in a row, each time the taste was different. There are also differences in color. The braised pork makes him nauseous when he sees the meat. Chen Huishan has to repeat it countless times every time he cooks a dish, and Zhang Feng almost flees after tasting it.
However, Chen Huishan’s talent is really not said, especially the ability to use hands. The final dishes are all good in color and fragrance. At least Zhang Feng is beyond the reach of the dust. This is still made by groping in her own kitchen. For systematic training, I guess it’s hard to say to get a master chef certificate.
In the afternoon, the two of them clanged in the kitchen. In the evening, Zhang Feng first opened a box of hawthorn pills and put them in front of him. Then he and Chen Huishan surrounded a small table and made a few drinks. Side dishes, while eating and drinking, Zhang Feng found that Chen Huishan's alcohol volume was quite good. In memory, Chen Huishan seemed to only drink red wine, but these few times when she had a few drinks with Zhang Feng, he was always welcome. , Liquor, beer, everything can come occasionally.
After Zhang Feng and Chen Huishan had a drink, they said, "How do you plan to celebrate the Spring Festival?"
After the last small chat, Zhang Feng had a somewhat impression of Chen Huishan’s family, knowing that her mother was no longer there, otherwise he would not agree with her to return to China alone. As for her father, Chen Huishan did not say anything in detail. He just said that after all these years, his father Like her mother, she is always alone, so she will not hesitate to come back after her mother is born.
However, the relationship with the father does not seem to fit well. The nature of the father and the daughter and the feelings are naturally unexplainable, but the father from the family is bent on wanting Chen Huishan to enter politics, otherwise he has to obey the family's arrangement and marry into the big family. It was a political marriage. Originally, this was not discussed, but Chen Huishan had a special experience, but the family members could not force her. If the pressure was too tight, she could turn around and leave. If she went abroad, she might not come back. .
Therefore, when Chen Huishan was in Xinyang City, because he did not want to go to work, he did not go home to live. In addition to staying in the pharmaceutical factory most of the time, he also had a house in the Provincial Drug Administration, but She seldom lives in the past. Chen Huishan no longer goes to work at the Food and Drug Administration, but the position is still vacant for her. In the words of their leaders, they just come when they want to come, and rest first if they don’t want to come. The right is to be paid. I'm on vacation, and there's nothing wrong in the unit anyway.
Chen Huishan squeezed the cup for a while and said, "I should go back. No matter what I say, it is certain to accompany my father during the New Year."
Zhang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It made me feel vain, thinking you would be alone?"
Chen Huishan took a look at Zhang Feng with interest, and smiled: "What if I am alone? Wouldn't you come over to accompany me?"
Zhang Feng nodded seriously: "Just for your cooking skills, I will also come to accompany you for the New Year."
Chen Huishan gave a "chitter" smile, "You are to accompany me to celebrate the New Year, you want to exploit me and continue to squeeze the surplus value."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "You have been abroad for so many years, I'm afraid you have forgotten the Spring Festival, have you?"
Chen Huishan gave an "um" and said: "Forget it, it's just that the atmosphere is not as good as that in China. Most of them have their own style in their own houses. These years overseas, more often it is Christmas. Quandang is the Spring Festival."
Zhang Feng said, "Are you religious?"
Chen Huishan shook her head and said: "What religion do you believe? Traditionally, Chinese people believe in nothing. When they need it, they believe in gods and Buddhas. When they don’t need it, they are all meconium. Except for the ancestors, everything else is fake. Yes, have you ever seen anyone put the position of the ancestor on the clay statue in the religion of God and Buddha? Although I have received Western education since I was a child, I am still a Chinese in my bones."
Zhang Feng was stunned. In his impression, Chen Huishan in that life was a devout Christian. It seems that there must have been something big that could change the fate of Chen Huishan's character. Otherwise, there would not be such a big change. Shake He shook his head and stopped discussing this. Zhang Feng said, "Does your family know that you are in the pharmaceutical factory?"
Chen Huishan pondered for a while and said: "I should know, but I shouldn't know about my resignation. Let's do this first. They can't do anything with me anyway. Although my dad is stubborn, he will probably follow my wishes in the end. It won't be too compelling."
Zhang Feng wanted to laugh when he heard the words. When he was about to say something, the pager rang. When he saw it was Liu Qing’s big brother’s number, remembering the agreement between the two, he stood up and said: "I have to go out to meet up at night. Are you interested in going out together?"
