"Jian Jia, come here, Dad!" Dongfang Herring squatted two meters away, spreading his arms. When Jian Jia heard the sound, she wobbled around and ran towards Dongfang Herring's arms in a trot. The swing of her body and arms made Dongfang Herring frightened, but Jian Jia didn't fall down and lost her balance when she rushed into his arms. Herring has hugged him.

"Jianjia is great!" Dongfang Herring put his cheek against Jianjia's little face, rubbing his robe affectionately, very happy, like all parents, when the baby's first words, standing up, and walking on his own, he would I can't help myself.

According to Huo Huo, the little guy stood up and walked suddenly yesterday. No one taught her, and no one helped her. She stood up suddenly, trembling, and walked around the living room. Lin Fuhu changed a piece of clothes from the bedroom. Come out, screaming with joy.

"We should celebrate. We won't be eating at home today. Let's go out for a big meal." Dongfang Herring said.

"Where to eat?" Lin Fufu asked.

"Well... "Plum Garden"." Dongfang Herring thought for a while and answered. He has eaten all the nearby hotels and farmhouses. Tired, after thinking about it, "Plum Garden" is gone.

"It's not easy to book a seat at "The Plum Garden"!" Lin Fufu said, "The Plum Garden" has a deep background, so the shelf is also high, you need to make an appointment in advance, and if you go there temporarily, unless your identity is strong enough, you need to wait .

"My Miss Lin is going out, where would you dare to stop her?" Dongfang Herring said with a smile.

"It's better for the county magistrate to manage now!" Lin Fufu said. Since she married Dongfang Herring, she has become low-key in her actions and speech, and she no longer has the air of being the best in the world when she was a daughter.

"I'll make a call." Dongfang Herring took out the phone, searched for the number in the address book, finally settled on Li Bing's name, dialed it, and got connected quickly.

"Mr. Dongfang, I haven't contacted for a long time. Do you have any orders?" Li Bing spoke very politely and low-key. If you don't know his identity, you will think that he is a salesperson. Director, many district chiefs would nod and bow when they saw him.

"Secretary Li, you are too polite. I am a small citizen of Shengdou, how dare I tell you, haven't I contacted you for a long time? Give me a call." Dongfang Herring said with a smile.

"I'm flattered. Speaking of which, it's been seven or eight months since we last met. It's been my fault for not taking the initiative to visit Mr. Dongfang for such a long time," Li Bing said.

"I'm sorry if you say that." Dongfang Herring chatted with Li Bing for a few words, and told about "Plum Garden".

"I'll call Zhang Degui right away, Mr. Dongfang can go directly, and the arrangements will be made there." Li Bing said immediately.

"That's it, and we will keep in touch in the future." Dongfang Herring said.

"It should be, our boss also mentioned Mr. Dongfang a few times." Li Bing said.

"Find a time to get together and have a meal. I have to ask Secretary Li to arrange it. I have time here at any time." Dongfang Herring said.

"The boss must be very happy to know." Li Bing said.

After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Herring saw Lin Fufu looked at him strangely, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This Li Bing, is that fair-skinned little boy who looks like a girl?" Lin Fufu asked.

"Yes, that's him, do you know him?" Dongfang Herring said.

"I had a relationship with him once. This person didn't know how to drink, and he vomited after half a glass. It was the first time to drink with the leader, and he vomited all over the leader." Lin Fufu said.

"So tough!" Dongfang Herring was very surprised. It is very common for a secretary to be spit on by the leader. It is the first time to hear it.

"His talent and ability are obvious to all, but he doesn't know how to drink. Otherwise, he might have been assigned as the second or third leader in a certain district." Lin Fufu said.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing to have a label that doesn't drink." Dongfang Herring said.

"You have a lot of face, the mayor's secretary has to do things for you." Lin Fufu said.

"Nonsense, he is a public servant of the people, serving the people, and I am also a citizen enjoying human rights." Dongfang Herring said.

"A public servant who abducts and trafficks women is about the same." Lin Qian'er just went offline, and when she heard this sentence, she immediately retorted.

"Change your clothes, go eat, I'll wait for you." Dongfang Herring said.

"To celebrate Jian Jia, let's walk, okay, I'll be right away." Lin Qian'er returned to her room, and came out in less than 20 seconds, her pajamas changed into a sleeveless dress.

"Speaking of which, your speed of putting on clothes is comparable to the speed of undressing." Dongfang Herring said.

"You know a lot." Lin Fufu said.

"Let's go, let's eat, I'm hungry." Dongfang Herring blushed.

It is said that "Plum Garden" was first established in Nanxiong, Guangdong, and later moved to Guangzhou. Counting, this is already the third generation in operation. The well-known "South Buddhist Association" was established in "Plum Garden" , Some bigwigs created a "Taishan Club", and everyone in the business field knows that one more friend has multiple paths. When the business develops to a certain height, it will not work alone, and we must form a group. The aggressiveness of the "South Buddhist Association" was established.

Zhang Degui is the manager of "Plum Garden". Listening to the name, it is easy to be mistaken for a rich man with a big belly. Only when you see him do you know that this person has worked as a model. He has a top-notch figure. He wears a dark suit and looks like a big boss. demeanor.

"Please, please, please, Secretary Li has already explained everything. Mr. Dongfang, you are too polite. You are our much-desired guest. If you want to come to dinner, just give me a call at any time, and I will personally arrange it." Zhang Degui greeted you at the gate. , speak upright, very airy.

"Boss Zhang said so, I will take it seriously." Dongfang Herring half-jokingly said.

"It must be true." Zhang Degui greeted Dongfang Herring's family of four to a small independent courtyard, and introduced: "This is "Dark Fragrance Courtyard". The plum trees are hidden in the corner and behind the rockery. In winter, there will be heavy snowfall. , only smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, but not seeing the plum blossom trees, many bigwigs like this kind of half-covered sentiment."

"It rarely snows in the south?" Lin Fufu was curious.

"Artificial snowfall!" Zhang Degui said.

"I'm looking forward to winter." Dongfang Herring said.

Zhang Degui was very busy. In a few minutes, the walkie-talkie and cell phone rang at his waist more than a dozen times, but he ignored it and insisted on making arrangements for Dongfang Herring's family before leaving.

"There is a reason why "Plum Garden" was so successful." Lin Qianer said as she looked at Zhang Degui's disappearing back.

"A meal here costs tens of thousands." Dongfang Herring said.

"People who come here to eat, who cares about money?" Lin Qian'er gave him a blank look, "They are all people who take a few small goals lightly."

"Disaster, Qian'er is gone." Dongfang Herring said.

"Isn't the rope in your hand?" Lin Fufu said.

Dongfang Herring laughed, and Jian Jia laughed too. Although she didn't understand anything, the little girl liked going outside, and every time she went out, she was very happy.

"When I came in just now, I saw a person who looked familiar." Lin Qian'er said.

"Who?" Lin Fufu asked.

"The land and water in "Shenxian Pavilion" floats on the water." Lin Qian'er said.

"It's him!" A strange color flashed in Dongfang Herring's eyes.

"Who is he? Is there something wrong?" Lin Fufu asked.

""Shenxian Pavilion" has been actively opening up the connection with "Forbidden City". The person in charge of this part is floating on land and water. This person still has some means. The 'donation of officials' is proposed by this person." Dongfang Herring said.

"This kind of person is too hateful." Lin Fufu said, buying an official with money is very unfair to those who have worked hard to complete the task to become an official. Many rich second generations can get official positions without any effort at all.

"It's easy to fish in muddy waters. "Shenxian Pavilion" lags too far behind in being an official, so it just muddies the water." Lin Qianer said.

"Who is floating with the land and water?" Dongfang Herring asked.

"I didn't see clearly." Lin Qian'er shook her head.

"Just go and have a look." Lin Fufu said.

"Eat first, and then talk about other things." Dongfang Herring said.

Including Jian Jia, the four of them, Zhang Degui arranged a total of 12 dishes, large and small, hot and cold soup, and in the end, Dongfang Herring strongly requested, so the latter 6 dishes were not served.

According to Zhang Degui, Dongfang Herring and his party are distinguished guests, and they must be treated with the best treatment when they come for the first time. The 18 dishes are the etiquette for entertaining distinguished guests in "Plum Garden".

"For these 18 dishes, when it comes to eating in the future, I will definitely think of "Plum Garden" immediately." Dongfang Herring said.

"People may know that you have a big appetite." Lin Fufu said.

"I have a big appetite, but I'm not a glutton." Dongfang Herring emphasized.

"Is there a difference?" Lin Fufu asked.

"One is eating too much, the other is not getting enough to eat and lack of culture, it's terrible." Dongfang Herring said.

Lin Qian'er laughed, Dongfang Herring compared her academic qualifications in front of them, she was looking for abuse.

"Does Qian'er drink? Plum wine." Lin Fufu asked.

"Aren't you going to drive?" Lin Qian'er hesitated. When she was hanging out with Lin Fufu, drinking was commonplace, but now she has calmed down and hasn't drunk for a long time.

"The price!" Lin Fufu filled Dongfang Herring, Lin Qian'er, and himself, raised his bowl and said, "I have food and wine every day, cheers!"

Dongfang Herring shook his finger, and several drops of wine spilled out. This toast is really random. Lin Qian'er was not surprised. When they were little sisters drinking, this toast was the most spoken word.

When drinking in a daze, who still has the heart to think about the toast? Naturally, it is as simple as possible. Generally speaking, it is finally simplified into one word: dry.

The family had a great time eating and drinking, the wine was good wine, and the food was good food. When Lin Qianer, who blushed from drinking, fed Dongfang Herring wine with her mouth, Dongfang Herring found herself chasing after her.

Bang, bang, bang!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door...
