Chapter 397 Gourmet
When Qi Tongwei returned home, Liang Lu was sitting in the living room, looking anxious. When she saw Qi Tongwei coming back, she hurried to greet him. "Tongwei, you are finally back. Dad is very angry. What happened to you?"
Qi Tongwei sighed and told Liang Lu what happened. Liang Lu was silent for a moment. "Tongwei, I understand your thoughts. But Dad is also doing this for your own good. He doesn't want you to be in danger."
"I know, Lulu. But I can't give up my beliefs. I am responsible for the people of Handong and for our future." Qi Tongwei said firmly.
Just then, Liang Qunfeng walked in. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of reproach. "Qi Tongwei, you still remember to come back? Do you want to betray me?"
Qi Tongwei stepped forward and said respectfully: "Secretary Liang, I did not betray you. I just want to contribute to the development of Handong. I know my position, and I will always be on your side."
"You'd better remember your words. Zhao Lichun's reforms are full of risks. Don't let him take advantage of you. You must always remember your identity and responsibilities." Liang Qunfeng said seriously.
Qi Tongwei stood in front of Liang Qunfeng, looking solemn and respectful. He knew very well that his current situation was delicate, on the one hand he was enthusiastic about Handong's development, and on the other hand he had to face Liang Qunfeng's doubts and warnings.
"Secretary Liang, I understand your concerns. But I don't think Zhao Lichun's reforms are all risky. The situation in Handong is now complicated, and we need to consider and explore the development path from many aspects." Qi Tongwei tried to explain his point of view.
Liang Qunfeng frowned, his eyes becoming more severe: "You are too naive, Qi Tongwei. How can you easily see through Zhao Lichun's mind? His reforms are just to satisfy his own desire for power. If you blindly participate, you will only fall into a deeper vortex."
Qi Tongwei lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then raised his head again: "Secretary Liang, I am not blind. While observing Zhao Lichun's reforms, I am also thinking about how to seek benefits for the people of Handong. I believe that as long as we remain vigilant and provide reasonable guidance, we may be able to find opportunities that are conducive to the development of Handong."
Liang Qunfeng snorted coldly: "Do you think you can control the situation? Zhao Lichun has been operating in Handong for many years, and his power is complicated. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Don't forget your identity and responsibilities. You are someone I promoted, and your loyalty should belong to me."
Qi Tongwei's heart tightened. He knew that Liang Qunfeng's words made sense. But he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to work for Handong's development. "Secretary Liang, I appreciate your promotion, and I always remember my identity and responsibility. But I think that for the future of Handong, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Zhao Lichun's reforms may be risky, but we can find a balance between protecting Handong's interests and promoting development."
Liang Qunfeng remained silent as he pondered over Qi Tongwei's words. After a while, he slowly said, "You say it easily, but it's not easy to actually do it. Do you have any specific plans?"
Qi Tongwei was delighted, knowing that Liang Qunfeng had begun to seriously consider his point of view. "Secretary Liang, I think we can first conduct an in-depth analysis of Zhao Lichun's reforms to understand their purpose and impact. At the same time, we must strengthen our control over all aspects of Handong to ensure that we can take the initiative in the reform. In addition, we can also actively cooperate with other forces to jointly resist possible risks."
Liang Qunfeng nodded slightly: "Your idea makes sense, but it is difficult to implement. You have to know that we are facing not only Zhao Lichun's reforms, but also challenges from other forces."
Qi Tongwei said firmly: "Secretary Liang, I understand. But we cannot retreat because of difficulties. As long as we unite and work together, we will be able to overcome difficulties and open up a bright road for Handong's future."
Liang Qunfeng looked at Qi Tongwei with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that Qi Tongwei was an ambitious and capable man, but he was also worried that Qi Tongwei would lose himself in the temptation of power. "Qi Tongwei, I hope you remember your words. You must be responsible for your actions and for the people of Handong. If you dare to betray me, I will never let you off easily."
Qi Tongwei said solemnly: "Secretary Liang, don't worry. I will definitely stick to my principles and bottom line and do my best for the development of Handong."
After Qi Tongwei made a solemn promise to Liang Qunfeng, he felt a complex emotion. He knew that he had a great responsibility, not only to be responsible for his own actions, but also to seek the welfare of the people of Handong. At this time, Qi Tongwei's wife Liang Lu was cooking at home, which reminded him of the time when he cooked for Liang Qunfeng.
Liang Qunfeng has always been obsessed with the food that Qi Tongwei cooked, especially the dishes that were delicious and fragrant. Qi Tongwei decided to cook again and make a sumptuous meal for Liang Qunfeng to express his sincerity and determination.
Qi Tongwei walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to prepare ingredients. The first thing he had to do was Dongpo pork elbow. This dish is complicated and requires carefully selecting fresh pork elbows, washing them, and blanching them in a pot to remove blood and impurities. Then, add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, add onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant, and then add rock sugar to stir-fry for sugar color. Next, put the blanched pork elbow into the pot and stir-fry evenly so that the surface is coated with sugar color. Then, add seasonings such as light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., and then add an appropriate amount of water. After boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for several hours until the pork elbow becomes soft and tasty. Finally, take out the pork elbow, put it on a plate, pour thick soup on it, sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander, and a Dongpo elbow with good color, aroma and taste is ready.
Next is the fried dough twist. Qi Tongwei mixes flour, yeast, salt, sugar, eggs and milk together, kneads the dough and puts it in a warm place to ferment. When the dough has doubled in size, take it out, knead it evenly to release the air, then roll it into thin strips and twist it into a twist. Put the twisted twist into a pan and fry it until golden brown, then take it out and drain the oil. Sprinkle chili powder, pepper powder, salt and chopped green on the fried twist, then pour hot oil on it. The aroma will instantly spread and the fried dough twist is ready.
Spicy scrambled eggs is also one of Qi Tongwei's specialties. He first beats the eggs into a bowl, adds appropriate amounts of salt and cooking wine, and stirs them evenly. Then, add appropriate amounts of oil to the pan, heat it up, pour in the egg liquid, and when the eggs solidify, use a spatula to cut them into small pieces and set aside. Next, add appropriate amounts of oil to the pan again, add onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant, then add bean paste and stir-fry until the oil turns red.
