Episode 03 Twenty catties of meat comes ten catties of fish

During the visit, the village party secretary came over, held the hand of the group leader A Jian, and said repeatedly, "Group leader A Jian, I have to work hard for you again. You and this comrade will have lunch at the village primary school at noon. I will go to Arrangement." Without waiting for our agreement, and without waiting for Team Leader Ah Jian to introduce me, he ran away in a hurry.I guess he rushed over after hearing the situation, even if he stayed with us for dinner, he didn't have to leave in such a hurry.

After the interview, it was almost time for lunch. Secretary Lei found us and took us away, saying that he would take us to dinner.The village party secretary also asked Lao Lei to have dinner with him, but Lao Lei refused to go, saying that it would be better to go home for dinner.Isn't it just a meal, as for such persistence?I think.

When I arrived at the cafeteria of the village primary school, I found that there were already many people inside. In the kitchen, several middle-aged women were still busy.

There are two square tables in the main room. Our table is accompanied by a few cadres from the village. Two people sit on one side, and Ah Jian and I stand on one side, sitting relatively loosely; There are a few people who look like teachers, three people sit on each bench, and stools are added in the corner of the table, you are next to me, and I am next to yours.

After sitting down, the group leader Ah Jian finally found an opportunity to introduce me.

"Xiao Li, I know, I know this, he is very good at solving crimes." As soon as the team leader Ah Jian finished his introduction, Secretary Lei immediately replied.

I also nodded to everyone as a greeting.

Secretary Lei: "Leader Ah Jian, it's rare for you and Xiao Li to come down once. It's the first time for Xiao Li to come down. Shall we have some wine?"

Ah Jian said: "Forget it, just eat some food. We have something to do in the afternoon, so you can drink it yourself."

The dishes came slowly, and I felt very rich: two big bowls of braised pork, which I like to eat; fish in the pond, fresh; and seasonal vegetables in the countryside, pollution-free; I have never eaten water bamboo shoots. . . . .

After everyone started eating.I picked up the chopsticks and tried the texture of the braised pork. The softness and hardness were just right, and I took a bite.Oil straight up.Although it is said that there is too much salt.A little salty, but still a little sweet to taste.I felt that my appetite was very good, so I ate a few more pieces of braised pork. In addition, I also ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of crispy rice porridge.After I finished eating, I got off the table and stood by, watching several village cadres and teachers continue to drink.

Afterwards, team leader Ah Jian also finished his meal, got off the table, and stood beside us while we smoked and watched them drink.

Secretary Lei said: "Several people come over to your table, don't squeeze together. The two leaders of the police station don't drink alcohol, and they don't eat much."

Immediately two or three teachers came over from that table.

Afterwards, Party Secretary Lei invited some women who were eating in the kitchen to come over to pick up vegetables.The women came over shyly, took some vegetables and some fish, then left immediately and continued to eat in the kitchen.

"Secretary, I offer you a double cup! Today, thanks to you." Teacher A said.

"Haha, what a blessing to me, it's all thanks to the police station." Secretary Lei smiled, and immediately finished the two glasses of wine.

Teacher A continued: "The leaders of the police station may see that our food is too simple, don't be used to it."

Teacher, I am very used to eating, I am not so spoiled, okay?I ate so much, it was just because we still had to deal with cases and business, and we didn't drink.I continued to smoke, thinking in my heart.

"You've been drinking, so don't talk nonsense. Why is the leader of the police station like this? I have known Team Leader Ah Jian for so many years, and he is not the person you said." Although Secretary Lei had drunk a little Wine, however, is still very clear.

"Okay, okay, then I was wrong, I was wrong, I will punish you with three glasses of wine, and the head office will do it." Teacher A said, poured three glasses of wine in a row, and drank three glasses of wine.

"You are fined three drinks, you obviously want to drink!" Teacher B said with a smile.

When he said this, everyone laughed, and the team leader A Jian and I also laughed, and we continued to watch them drink with interest.

Teacher A punished himself by drinking three glasses of wine, and then put two pieces of braised pork in the braised pork bowl three times in a row. Come on, when he rolled his tongue, the oil and water immediately returned to his mouth.

"Why don't you keep a few pieces for us to eat? You're also fined for drinking, so you can't punish yourself to eat braised pork." Teacher B said with a smile, and put a few pieces of braised pork in the bowl in front of him.

"Okay, okay, I don't eat meat anymore, I'll leave all the braised pork for you to eat, and I'll eat fish." Teacher A started to put his hands on the plate of braised fish again, and immediately two or three pieces of fish fell into the bowl in front of him.

When Secretary Lei saw that the situation was not good, he immediately picked up another bowl of braised pork. Everyone looked at him with surprise.

Secretary Lei took half a bowl of braised pork and sent it to the kitchen for some women who were cooking.

Several women received the braised pork with joy on their faces, and put their chopsticks into the bowl one after another.

Here, the wine is still drinking.

Several people persuaded each other to drink and eat vegetables, but there were still three pieces of braised pork in the bowl, and no one ate it, and just put it there. The teachers sometimes looked into the bowl, but their eyes were quick. Leave, go eat fish, go eat other dishes.

The wine was almost finished, and the three pieces of braised pork were still lying in the bowl. They were thankful that they had not been wiped out.

However, since they are already lying on the table, since they are already lying in the bowl, since so many people are looking at them, is there any reason why they should not be wiped out? !

Sure enough, Teacher A spoke again:

"Secretary Lei, you have worked hard today. You can eat the rest of the braised pork by yourself!"

After speaking, he put the whole bowl in front of Lei Zhishu.

Secretary Lei was full of smiles, and after a few pushbacks, he was impolite. Three pieces of braised pork were put into his mouth three times, and oil and water came out. He immediately rolled it with his tongue, and the oil and water retracted into his mouth again.

We continue to watch.

After they finished drinking, each of them ate two big bowls of rice, some even ate three big bowls of rice, and some ate with the soup on the plate.

After they finished eating, all the dishes on the table were cleaned up. I think the women in the kitchen might not need to wash these dishes.

Secretary Lei went out for a while and came back soon. With a blushing face, he first took out a pen and then a note. His mouth was full of alcohol, and he said to Ah Jian:

"Team Leader Ah Jian, can you do me a favor and sign it, will you?"

Ah Jian took it, and I felt strange, so I followed. When I looked at it, I saw the note read "Accept the police station to handle the case, buy 20 catties of meat and 10 catties of fish", and the price and amount are below.

Won't? !We ate "20 catties of meat, 10 catties of fish"? ! !Do the two of us have such a large amount?Do we have so much to eat?It's not ridiculous to spread this out! !

Team leader Ah Jian was also very surprised, and hurriedly asked:

"Secretary Lei, what's going on?"

Secretary Lei's face, which was already red after drinking, added a touch of red, shook his head and said:

"Group leader Ah Jian, I'm really embarrassed to speak up. You see, our village is poor, and it's so far away from the town. We can't have a leader all year round. Even if a leader comes, he won't eat with us. The teachers are a little oily. None, all pale and thin."

I glanced, and I didn't see a fat man!But it's not enough to be sallow and thin.

Secretary Lei continued, "No, you finally came here. Thanks to you and your light, we followed suit. The money for entertaining your police station to handle the case can be reimbursed in the village."

"oh".Ah Jian responded, picked up the pen, and quickly signed his name and date on the note.

Team leader Ah Jian finished signing, then turned around and said, "Xiao Li, you sign one too."

I really don't want to sign, why do I have to sign after a meal?Not eating in a restaurant!Had we known this earlier, we would have gone back to the police station to eat.However, can this eaten thing be spit out?I ate several pieces of braised pork, fish, fish soup, green vegetables, dried cucumbers, and dried bamboo shoots. . . . . .I also ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of crispy rice porridge. I was short-mouthed, can I not sign? !Twitchy, I also drew a "tiger" on the note.

After dinner, we called Lao Lei, and along the highway, we expanded the scope of our visit, passing through one bay after another, and interviewed many people, but in the end, there was no useful information. See, it’s getting dark , we sent Lao Lei home, and then went back to the institute.

After returning to the police station, Ah Jian said to me: "Xiao Li, I think you are a bit reluctant to sign, what's the matter?"

"Isn't it just for a meal, do I need to sign it?" I replied, I was indeed reluctant to sign.

"Don't be like this, there are really poor people in that far place, as you can see today. They can't eat meat a few times throughout the year, we have to understand them." Team leader Ah Jian said seriously.

"I'm slowly getting used to it," I replied, still a little reluctantly.

"Do you understand now? Why did I go to the scene with you when I heard that two cattle were stolen?" A Jian continued to enlighten.

I nodded with a vague understanding.

"Let's find a way to solve the case together and help Lao Lei recover his losses." A Jian said seriously.

"I will work hard on this." When I heard about the case, my energy came back.

We immediately started discussing how to make a breakthrough in the case, but we couldn't come up with a good solution after many discussions. Finally, we decided to continue to expand the scope of the interview and try to make a breakthrough during the interview. (To be continued..)
