Chapter Fifty-Three This Is Too Expensive
When Sun Quanming was young, he witnessed the collapse of the reservoir dam in his hometown.
Although the reservoir in my hometown was only a small reservoir, when the dam collapsed, hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water rushed out of the reservoir like a runaway horse and poured down.
In an instant, the countryside, villages, and market towns were flattened and transformed into a land of marshes amidst the towering waves.
At that time, there happened to be a railway behind their village, and when the flood came, a train loaded with coal happened to pass by.
Unexpectedly, the train weighing hundreds of tons was unable to suppress the rushing torrent. Even the rails and the entire train were dragged into the flood, and the rails were turned into coils.
The victims who escaped from the flood huddled helplessly on trees, roofs, and high mounds of earth.
That scene really seemed like the end of the world was coming.
Thinking of this, Sun Quanming immediately said: "No, I have to go to Pingshan Reservoir to see for myself. If there is really a danger, assessment and remediation must be carried out immediately!"
"It's already dinner time, let's eat first?! No matter how anxious we are, we have to eat before we go!" Liang Ming said.
"I'm so anxious, what else can I eat? I won't eat..." Sun Quanming scratched his neck and glared at Liang Ming.
Seeing Sun Quanming's anxious look, Liu Yan immediately said: "Bureau Sun, you still have to eat!"
Then he added: "Furthermore, when going to the reservoir to investigate dangerous situations, you, the chief director, cannot do it alone. You must have a corresponding team of experts.
We have just gotten off work now and everyone has gone to have lunch. It will take some time to gather the manpower.
My suggestion is that you immediately notify the relevant personnel in the bureau and gather as soon as possible after lunch.
At the same time, let’s have lunch and then rush to Pingshan Reservoir together, what do you think?”
Sun Quanming thought for a while and nodded: "That's all it can do!"
Immediately, he immediately called the comrade on duty in the office.
Ask him to immediately notify all cadres and experts in the bureau and gather in front of the bureau office building in one hour. No one is allowed to ask for leave.
After making the phone call, he followed Liu Yan and Liang Ming to the state-owned hotel!
.......
In the small private room of the state-owned hotel, after the three of them sat down, Liu Yan immediately ordered the food to be served.
Since there were only three people, Liu Yan only ordered four dishes and one soup, which was a standard treat for a township chief.
The four dishes are: braised tofu, sauced pork ribs, a braised fish, a stir-fried green vegetable, and the soup is seaweed and egg drop soup.
To be honest, in this day and age, such sumptuous meals are not common.
After the food was served, Sun Quanming hurriedly said: "Comrade Liu Yan, you are spending too much money!"
When Sun Quanming said it was expensive, he was not exaggerating at all. They often come here to eat, so they naturally know the prices of these dishes.
Not to mention anything else, these dishes alone cost at least ten yuan.
Not to mention that Liu Yan also ordered a bottle of Moutai, which cost four yuan a bottle.
In other words, this meal would conservatively cost fifteen yuan!
Sun Quanming thought about it, he could only earn a few dozen yuan a month, and one meal would eat up several days of his salary. How could he not break the bank?
Liang Ming was also meddling in: "Liu Yan, this meal is indeed a bit extravagant. They are all members of my family, so there is no need to be so polite..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yan said with a smile: "The main purpose of eating is to feel comfortable. To be honest with Mr. Sun, I haven't had any meat or fish for a long time.
So, today is not all about you two, I also want to take this opportunity to satisfy my craving."
Sun Quanming knew in his heart that the food had been ordered and he could not withdraw it, but this wine was definitely not acceptable.
Then he said: "Comrade Liu Yan, we have to go to Pingshan Reservoir in the afternoon to check the danger. I won't drink anymore. Let's withdraw later!"
Liang Ming also said: "Yes, yes, I have to go to the county committee in the afternoon, but I can't go there smelling of alcohol. It will have a bad impact!"
Liu Yan knew in his heart that these two people were making excuses just to save him money, so he didn't force it.
Moreover, Liu Yan, no matter in his previous life or in this life, did not think that wine was a good thing. It was just a poison that penetrated the intestines. If possible, he should try not to drink it.
Immediately, he directly greeted the two of them to eat!
As for this bottle of Maotai, he has no intention of returning it, whether he takes it back to keep for himself or gives it to his father-in-law.
After all, Moutai worth four yuan would be worth a lot of money twenty or thirty years later!
Because he was thinking about going to the reservoir in the afternoon, Sun Quanming was depressed and worried while eating, so that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull.
In less than half an hour, this sumptuous lunch was over.
To be honest, Liu Yan was really surprised by the fighting power of the three of them.
He originally thought that after ordering so many dishes, it would be impossible to finish them all. He was hesitating whether to pack up the leftovers later.
However, what he didn't expect was that the final result was that all the dishes on the table were swept away, and even half of the pot of soup was finished by Sun Quanming.
Seeing this, Liu Yan thought about it and felt quite sad. The reason why Sun Quanming is so good at eating is because he usually lacks oil and water in his stomach and lacks a mouth.
All in all, in this era, we are still poor!
