Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Hongyi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Uncle Sima, I just got back too. I haven't even entered the house yet, but I caught up with this reception day."

“Hahaha, great…”

Liu Chuan saw Ai Xiaoyu and Xu Wenxin, nodded to Ai Xiaoyu first, then said to Xu Wenxin: "Xiao Xu, you are here too? Are you revisiting the old place?"

Xu Wenxin quickly bowed as a greeting: "Yes, Uncle Liu, it's winter vacation now, so I came to Chuzhou with some classmates to take a look."

"Okay, you've lived in Chuzhou for two years, it's good for you to come back and visit..."

Liu Hongyi said, "Dad, these people are all friends I met in Beidu. Let's go home first."

It was also inconvenient for him to introduce the backgrounds of these people in public.

"Okay... By the way, you guys probably haven't eaten yet, right? How about we go to the office cafeteria and have a quick meal together?"

It's almost dark. If I go home now and ask Xiao Yawen to cook, it will definitely be too late with so many people.

To be honest, this kind of situation would only happen in Chuzhou, to Liu Chuan.

Let’s go to another place. The son of the first secretary of the prefectural party committee has a bunch of friends coming over, all from Beijing. The secretary will definitely make all the arrangements properly, so let’s go to the hotel first.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said to Xin Yuanjia and the others, "Brother Yuanjia, Sister Yanxue, Wenxin, how about trying some of the food in the corridor?"

Xin Yuanjia and others all laughed.

Others may not understand the allusion of "eating under the corridor", but Xin Yuanjia certainly did. His major was history, and he knew that Liu Hongyi was using it to make fun of them.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

The group then headed to the agency cafeteria.

Sima Wu, Zhou Fanxin, Li Kaiyun and others also went to the cafeteria to eat together.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Xin Yuanjia and others found that the office cafeteria had not prepared any "banquet" for the leaders of the Prefectural Committee, and everyone was eating rice in a bowl.

Everyone, including Liu Chuan, who eats in the cafeteria must keep a record of their meals.

Moreover, this is a "privilege" for leading cadres. Other ordinary cadres and employees are directly given meal tickets when eating in the cafeteria.

Only leading cadres can keep accounts. After all, they are busy and often forget to bring meal tickets. It would be bad to ask the first secretary of the prefectural party committee to go back to the office to get meal tickets, right?

The same applies to bookkeeping. At the end of the month, the food expenses are directly deducted from the leaders’ salaries.

Xin Yuanjia was careful and even took a look at the cafeteria's account book.

I found dozens of names densely packed on it, including the names of Liu Chuan, Sima Wu and other major leaders of the Prefectural Party Committee and the Administrative Office. Liu Chuan recorded seven meals, Sima Wu recorded six.

It can be seen that their system has been implemented all the time and is not done for show.

The food in the office cafeteria is quite rich.

The staple food is mainly rice, but there are also steamed buns and dumplings.

As for the dishes, there are fried pork with chili peppers, stewed beef, steamed pork with rice flour, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, fried tofu, and fried fish fillets. There are also three or four kinds of vegetables, and the prices are different. Everyone takes what they need according to their own financial conditions.

Stewed beef and steamed pork with rice flour are the most expensive, costing fifty cents per portion.

Because it is basically pure meat, it has the highest cost.

Fried fish is 40 cents. Fish isn't as expensive as beef or pork, but it uses a lot of oil. Chili stir-fried pork is 30 cents, chili stir-fried eggs is 20 cents, fried tofu is 15 cents, and vegetables are 10 cents or 8 cents. Rice is 5 cents a bowl.

Vegetable soup is free.

Liu Hongyi treated everyone to a meal and bought several servings of various meat dishes, which were put in large bowls and brought to a table.

In addition, each person was served a drink.

It wasn't soda, it was orange juice.

It is produced by a cannery in Chuzhou area and is currently a relatively well-known brand on the market.

With each person having a bowl of rice, all in all, it was quite lively and looked quite decent.

Liu Chuan welcomed everyone with orange juice instead of wine.

No one had any objections to this meal.

Although Xin Yuanjia and others are children of high-ranking officials, they are still students. Before going to college, they all worked in the countryside in various places. Eating in the cafeteria is the most normal thing for them.
