The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 236: Good news and tragedy

At the end of a conversation, I didn't feel any "big brother" feeling, but my voice was louder! Hang up and return the "big slab brick" to Alyosha directly by throwing bricks. Eight? One Chinese?? Network ≤≈=≤≈

"Let's go, go to dinner, today we are considered to be a blessing, and it is estimated that we can enjoy the treatment of the head of the central government!"

Why?

Because of good luck, my brother-in-law made contact with an old friend: it was not the second-in-chief of Jin Jiang Hotel, but a well-known figure in Shanghai and even in the national catering industry in East China!

When I arrived at the reserved box in the restaurant, I saw that there were 12 seats, and said to the waiter: "Just leave 9 seats. Also, have Ma Guanhu and Director Ma come here?"

"Director Ma is still in the kitchen, do you need me to inform?"

Even an ordinary waiter knows that person, it seems that this reputation is not covered!

Zhang Nan nodded, "Excuse me, please go call and say don't be too troublesome, just have a coleslaw."

Everyone was seated, Zhang Nan left a place next to him, and waited for the horse director to arrive!

Ma Guanhu, the director of the third station of the Shanghai Garrison District, a native of Beishan in Yanxian County, was an old friend of his brother-in-law Xiang Weirong who served as a soldier for one year, and was one year older than his brother-in-law, and they knew each other before they joined the army.

In the past two years, I have sometimes dealt with, and the relationship with my brother-in-law is okay. Zhang Nan has also seen him several times: but I didn’t go to him the first two times. First, I didn’t think it was necessary. Second, this person was quite busy. There are always no people in the place.

This trip was because Zhang Nan wanted to ask him to inquire about something in Shanghai. The brother-in-law paid attention and finally contacted him.

A 30-year-old cadre at the department level, what he is in charge of Zhang Nan is not clear, but he knows that he is a first-class chef in the country!

Yes, he is the chef, the best kind! Even today's No. 1 chief, every time he goes to Shanghai, he will call out and ask "Is there a pony?" There is a great presence!

In the past few years, the relevant state departments organized a "East China Region" state-owned unit chef competition in six provinces and one city. All the top chefs from all provinces and cities participated in the competition. The first place was the so-so and Malaysian chef.

However, in the previous life, the brother-in-law and him had little contact after the 1990s, because that person rarely returned to Yanxian, and this relationship gradually estranged. However, Zhang Nan knew that he later opened several top restaurants in Shanghai, including two top sightseeing and dining cruises on the Huangpu River.

Talking about Ma Guanhu's situation with Zhang Li and others, everyone was very curious about what kind of person this "level chef" was.

After a while, the waiter started serving dishes, but Zhang Nan didn't move his chopsticks: the waiter said Director Ma was coming soon.

A few minutes later, a man in casual clothes walked in, and Zhang Nan quickly stood up and greeted him, "Brother Ma, long time no see!"

This man is Ma Guanhu. In fact, he looks quite ordinary, and he is not in appearance: anyway, he does not look like a leader or a chef with a spoon.

"Haha, Xiao Zhang, I heard that you and your brother-in-law are very good this year, and both have become great local tyrants! What a great..."

Halfway through, Ma Guanhu looked at Zhang Li and said, "This is my sister-in-law, I heard about it when I went back to my hometown the last two times!"

Speaking of shaking hands with everyone, he also introduced himself.

I have seen too many times, and the same Xiang Weirong is also familiar with it. Ma Guanhu is not surprised by Alyosha and others: he cooks dishes for a long time. I don't know how many times such a character has been seen.

Everyone was polite and took their seats.

After some conversation, it turned out that after receiving a call from Xiang Weirong, Ma Guanhu made a call to the Jinjiang Hotel and learned that Zhang Nan would finish eating here, so he simply ran over by himself.

Not only cooking two dishes for a friend, but also other things.

Many chefs in Jinjiang Hotel have been trained by him, and whenever there is a very important reception task in the restaurant, he will sometimes be sent out by the boss.

Now the connection between the army and the locality can be close.

"I still remember that you like to tear the cabbage by hand. It's the old rule. You prepare to fight the phoenix, fight the dragon and so on. Let's eat it by ourselves. The time is tight, so I just grabbed a few handfuls..."

Tearing the cabbage with one's hands was just past the tricks of launching, but with Ma Guanhu's skillful hands, even if you just grab two of them casually, the taste can make people bite their tongues!

"When you go back, I will prepare a few bottles of seasoning for you. Take it back to share with your brother-in-law, and he likes it too."

Many of the seasonings used by top chefs are not bought, but made by themselves, and many of them are secret skills-Ma Guanhu has so many unique skills.

Kissinger's favorite crispy duck, Nixon and Elizabeth II's praised chicken minced corn...

They only came up one by one. Some dishes were cooked casually before, and then the chef and Touzao of Jinjiang Hotel personally took care of it. This is also the face of the horse seller. This meal is definitely the treatment of the central director!

At the food stall, Zhang Nan pointed to the minced chicken and corn and asked, "Brother Ma, I remember that this dish was said in the newspaper last year that the Queen of England particularly liked it. Would that also be made by you?"

"Well, what I did is the same as this, okay?"

"Okay, it's not a normal one! But Brother Marco, I have to remind you of something. Will my current status cause you trouble?"

This is something to be aware of: If Ma Guanhu was at the "Royal Kitchen" level in ancient times, this would be a big problem with overseas relations.

"I won't be here today if I have trouble. Your brother-in-law told me about this. No problem. I am a poor peasant for three generations, and I am politically reliable.

What's more, you are considered a patriotic Chinese. I have heard about donating funds to build schools in the county and the building of Kuaiji University. If you are unreliable, there is no reliable person. "

This remark caused Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu's surprise again, and Zhang Nan explained a few more words: Donate 250,000 US dollars casually, the two girls would really believe that "buying the Empire State Building" is not a joke!

"By the way, Xiao Zhang, your brother-in-law said you want to buy an old pre-liberation villa in Shanghai?"

"Well, I was met by a few acquaintances in Shanghai, and I would like to ask you to inquire about it."

Ma Guanhu thought for a while and said, "Although I am not at a high level, I know a lot of people. However, as far as I know, most of the famous old villas in Shanghai before the liberation were not public venues. It is the office of the government agency.

There is a way to buy it. Do you have any requirements for the price? "

But before Zhang Nan could answer, he laughed himself: "I can donate money to build a university, I didn't ask this sentence.

In this way, I made a few calls in the afternoon and asked about it first. If you don't care about the price, there is still some hope for three villas. "

"Which three buildings?"

"I remember.

Speaking, Ma Guanhu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Nan: "Ma Le Villa at the corner of Yan'an Middle Road and South Shaanxi Road, Bai Mansion on Fenyang Road, and Lilac Villa at No.922 Huashan Road. But this A few places are valuable, and it's still a bit difficult."

"Want to spend money privately?" Zhang Nan asked in a low voice.

"That's not necessary, but I will become a hard-working cook again!"

Upon hearing Ma Guanhu's joking, Zhang Nan laughed: "Haha, then please Thomas, brother, I know it in my mind."

"Now I live in the bungalow dormitory in the army, you guys are good, you just want to buy a villa, local tyrant!"

"I said, Brother Ma, you are already pretty good. There are three big rooms in a row, each crowded and separated into two. My brother-in-law only had two rooms a few years ago. You are the local tyrant of housing in Shanghai.. ."

The people in Shanghai will be pretty glamorous when they go out, but Zhang Nan's pains are clear: The two major problems of housing and transportation, especially housing, even if it arrives, it will be more than two decades later. ——Not to mention the residents of Shanghai and China, people all over the world are speechless!

too expensive!

......

Everyone was very happy to have a meal, but after talking about an incident in Shanghai more than two weeks ago, the emotion was a little bit emotional: because Zhang Nan only remembered his financial plan in his notebook. , I didn't even think about it. I only thought of this tragedy when I was reading a piece of news in the newspaper in a hotel in Liling.

"It's miserable, I just happened to ran into it. That morning, I went to 6jiazui with the driver in the school to do errands, but we heard that something went wrong there. Then we were driving a military vehicle and we were all stopped. Both the driver and I participated in the rescue..."

In the early morning of December 10, 1987, a heavy fog suddenly appeared on the Huangpu River, and the entire surface of the river seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. The light from far and near was difficult to distinguish, and the visibility was within 3o meters.

In accordance with the Shanghai-listed safe navigation regulations, all vessels sailing on the Huangpu River must stop sailing if the visual range is within 1oo meters.

At this time, there is no bridge on the Huangpu River, and no tunnel across the river. As long as the traffic is suspended, Pudong will be like an isolated island-"I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong!" , This is all for a reason.

At this time, it was the rush hour, and a large number of citizens were waiting in the pontoons and waiting rooms of the ferry station, anxiously waiting for the ferry to sail.

The underwhelmed crowd filled the entire 6-jiazui road. Many people were pushing bicycles. It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000!

There are also hundreds of rickshaws transporting vegetables from the ferry crossing through Huayuanshiqiao Road and Beihutang Road to Pudongnan Road. People are waiting anxiously.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the thick fog finally dissipated, and the ferry is expected to start sailing: at the usual flow, more than 40,000 passengers who are eager to cross the river and rush to work have gathered at the 6jiazui ferry station at this time!

The passengers who boarded the first ferry were basically passengers who were already in the waiting room.

But at 9:10, when the second ferry sailed, passengers waiting for work outside the iron fence of the wharf were crowded to catch on the boat. A large number of bicycles and pedestrians were mixed together, and the order was extremely chaotic.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man and his bicycle were squeezed down by a turbulent flow of people, and then two, three, and four people were squeezed down. Later, they stepped on these fallen people and rushed forward. A tragic accident occurred at 5. Bought in minutes!

At this time, it is most difficult for people pushing bicycles to control their balance, and they fall to the ground under the impact of the flow of people, which causes a chain reaction, causing more people to fall to the ground and more bicycles to fall to the ground.

At this time, the staff on duty at the ferry station realized that life was about to be killed, and immediately asked the public security department for emergency assistance to rescue the wounded. He immediately stopped the vehicle from the road and sent the wounded to nearby hospitals.

Speaking of this, Ma Guanhu was very emotional: “Now the city is reviewing the cause of the accident ~ www.readwn.com~ There is no emergency response plan, and there is also a bad weather and fog that has not been put on the TV and radio in time. The ferry suspension information is also an important reason.

There is also the bonus system now implemented, which is also the main cause of accidents!

Nowadays, as long as most of the employees of Shanghai enterprises and institutions are late for one time, not only will the bonus of the month be deducted, but also the quarterly bonus and annual bonus will be deducted to cause a chain reaction.

Nowadays, everyone is actually not very wealthy. This is a lot of figures: the people in Shanghai are not willing to be late for work anyway, and when they are late, they lose a lot of money!

However, I have read a document just released by the Shanghai-listed government: whenever the ferry is suspended due to heavy fog, employees will not be late; once the fog has fogged, radio and television will make rolling reports.

"That's right, I hope this kind of tragedy won't happen again."

Zhang Nan knew: After this tragedy, there has never been a similar incident at the docks in Shanghai.

Information transparency and emergency response mechanisms are really important, and they will do well in more than two decades. (To be continued.)
