Regarding the construction of Hexi, some people even wrote letters to government departments, hoping that the government would spend more money on the renovation of the main urban area and people's livelihood.
However, those who complained before stopped complaining in the past two years, because as the Hexi area gradually developed, people found that this area really needed such a wide road, especially when it came to the Deep Space Annual Conference, the surrounding cars
There are so many. If the road hadn't been widened in advance, I'm afraid it would have started to be blocked by now.
On the other hand, in other places in Jinling, regardless of whether they are old or new, the traffic pressure is particularly high in the days leading up to the Deep Space Annual Meeting, and there are often traffic jams. Fortunately, with the repair of several main roads outside, whether it is from the airport,
There is no need to pass through the downtown area to get to the deep space park from the train station or bus station, and the traffic situation behind will be much better.
In recent years, the people of Jinling have seen how many high-end talents Hexi has left for Jinling, how much labor force it has provided, and how much fiscal revenue it has brought.
Many parents in Jinling now hope that their children can stay and work in Hexi after graduation.
"For things like urban planning, we can occasionally make suggestions, but we can't comment too much," Yu Dong said.
Jimmy nodded, "Of course I know this. In fact, the best advice is not spoken with words, but with actions. Now I have seen the construction of Qixia District. Although the regional functions are very different from those in Hexi, the overall plan is
With the influence of Hexi, the functional departments will naturally know what is good and what is bad. We don’t need to say too much, we just need to do what we should do.”
At this point, Jimmy waved his hand again, "Don't rush to deal with the amusement park, we'll talk about it later. There's nothing else to do in the afternoon, so let's go home first. Didn't we say that we're going to hold a spring roll frying contest this afternoon?"
Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You still worry about this."
Jimmy laughed, "Of course, didn't Britney also sign up to participate? I'm definitely going to watch the competition to see if she can get any ranking."
Yu Dong curled his lips and said, "If she can get the ranking, there must be something shady. He didn't even know what a spring roll was before. Today, as long as she can make something in the shape of a spring roll, it will be considered a success."
Jimmy said sternly, "Don't say this in front of her. She is very competitive. She has made a lot of preparations for this competition, and it's not as bad as you said. I even tasted it. It's not easy now."
Standing in front of you?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I understand, I understand."
Their family did have a spring roll fried contest today. A few days ago, we all discussed the New Year together. It just so happened that the Chinese New Year and the Beginning of Spring fall on the same day this year. Wang Xiaobo casually said that it would be better to hold a fried spring roll contest. Unexpectedly, everyone
One after another responded with great enthusiasm.
When Yu Dong heard about this, he thought they were just talking casually. Unexpectedly, they were quite serious. They not only formed a competition committee, but also formulated the competition procedures.
There are a total of nine judges in this spring roll competition. The judging panel is mainly composed of the elderly group and the juvenile group. The elderly group is Cheng Yanqiu's grandparents, and the juvenile group is Yu Haiguo, Feng Changdi and other children.
It is said that as of yesterday, thirteen people have signed up for this competition, including Britney Spears.
…
When Yu Dong and others returned to Luoyuan, they saw a long red banner hanging above the door of Luoyuan from a distance, which read: Luoyuan's first spring roll contest.
Jimmy exclaimed, "My dear, I even got a banner. It's formal enough. The door is so high, so it would be difficult to hang it up. When we left in the morning, was this banner hung up?"
Yu Dong shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."
"What about last night?" Jimmy asked again.
Yu Dong shook his head again, "Even if there was one last night, it was already midnight when we came back and we couldn't see it."
After getting off the bus and getting closer, Yu Dong looked carefully at the words on the banner, and then couldn't help but laugh.
Jimmy also laughed, "Haha, I didn't expect that they did it in a formal way, and even put up a banner."
Yu Dong didn't laugh at this. He pointed at the banner and said, "Look carefully at this word. Does it look familiar?"
Jimmy held his chin up and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
Yu Dong said with a smile, "This is my father-in-law's calligraphy. Look, next to the word "fire", the dot on the right is connected with the word "herringbone". There is also the word "curl", and the dot on the right is also buried."
Jimmy looked astonished, "It's true what you said. I really admire you in this regard. It seems that you can see the characteristics of each person's writing at a glance."
"It's not something that can be seen at a glance, but I usually pay more attention to these things. The more I see them, the more I naturally become proficient." Then Yu Haiguo and the others shouted excitedly, "Uncle Dong, Uncle Ji is back.
"
Yu Dong smiled and asked, "Hai Guo, where are the others?"
Yu Haiguo rubbed his hands and said, "They are all making spring rolls in the dining hall."
The grand dining hall is on the first floor of the reception building. Because this first floor is usually where everyone eats, everyone likes to call it the grand dining hall.
Jimmy looked in the direction of the dining hall, and then said, "Why aren't you watching?"
Feng Changdi said with a silly smile, "My mother said she won't let us in now and we have to wait until we eat."
Yu Haiguo reached out and patted the tiger head hat on Feng Changdi's head, "You know what to eat, that's called tasting? Today we are all judges. According to the rules, we judges cannot visit the food production process, otherwise it would be useless even if we knew it.
Whoever did it will not be objective enough when scoring later."
Hearing what Yu Haiguo said so well, Jimmy was also amused. He asked, "Judge Yu, today is a scoring system."
Yu Haiguo nodded seriously, "Yes, Uncle Ji, it's a scoring system. The full score is ten points. There are nine judges. The highest score is removed, the lowest score is removed, and then the average score is calculated."
Jimmy smiled and said, "Okay, you continue to play here. Your Uncle Dong and I are not judges, so there is no need to avoid it. Now go in and take a look."
"Well, you go ahead, I can't go."
…
When Yu Dong and others entered the large dining hall, they were shocked by the fiery scene in front of them. There were at least seventy or eighty people in the entire dining hall. These people were gathered in twenty or thirty groups and were busy in full swing.
Wang Xiaobo stood at the door. When he saw Yu Dong and others coming, he said with a smile, "You are done."
"We're done." Yu Dong nodded, and then licked his lips in front of him, "What's going on? Why are there so many people? Didn't I remember that there were only thirteen people participating in the competition?"
Wang Xiaobo explained with a smile, "Originally, as of yesterday morning, only thirteen people participated in the competition, but yesterday Fu Jing told people about the spring roll competition at school, and many teachers found it interesting and expressed their desire to participate. Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was,
Gao, Fu Jing went to ask your teacher Cheng. Teacher Cheng waved his hand and accepted all comers. In one afternoon, the number of contestants increased from thirteen to fifty. Overall, there were thirty-one groups.
, some are fighting alone, and some are fighting in groups."
Hearing Wang Xiaobo's words, Jimmy clapped his hands and shouted, "That's bad, now it will be even more difficult for Britney to get ranked."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Jimmy, you are wrong. The increase in the number of contestants now is a good thing for your Britney. Think about it, with your Britney's level, not to mention getting a ranking, as long as
Thank God it's not a countdown. It's better now. When there are more people, there will naturally be people who are cheating, so if there are a few more people who perform worse than Britney, she won't seem so bad."
Jimmy couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "That's just fart."
Wang Xiaobo also waved his hand, "Yes, it simply stinks."
Yu Dong laughed, "I'm really looking forward to Britney's works now, but there are so many people competing now, and the nine judges can't even eat them. If the judges taste every work, one person will have to eat thirty
Who can bear it once?"
Wang Xiaobo said with a smile, "It has been arranged. When the time comes, the judges will be divided into three groups. Each group will taste the works of ten groups of contestants. It's not like eating a whole piece, just cut it into a piece and eat it. It's okay for one person to eat ten small pieces of spring rolls.
hard."
Jimmy scratched his head, "I drank too much at the banquet yesterday and didn't bother to eat. I didn't eat much at noon today. I was thinking of having a good meal in the evening. It's better now. I guess there's nothing else to eat except spring rolls."
Already."
As he was talking, Yu Hua came over. He was wearing an apron, with a lot of flour on his face, and his hair was messy. He looked a little embarrassed. Their Chen Hong also participated in the competition, and Yu Hua originally wanted to do it.
The judges, however, were pulled over and beaten.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You go to help Teacher Chen, what are you doing here?"
Wang Xiaobo had already grinned, and took out a pack of Ashima from his pocket, "Would you like one?"
Yu Hua chuckled, took Ashima and pulled one out from the middle, "Xiaobo still understands me. Wait for Feiyu, he will come too."
Before he finished speaking, Bi Feiyu hurried over.
Bi Feiyu wore an apron like Yu Hua. Although there was no flour on his face, his hands and arms were covered with flour. Bi Feiyu was different from Yu Hua. Yu Hua helped Chen Hong, but Bi Feiyu
But they are contestants. He and his wife Fu Jing both participated and are considered competitors.
When he arrived, he nodded to Yu Dong and Jimmy first, and then said to Yu Hua, "You guys came out without me?"
Yu Hua shook the cigarette in his hand, "Isn't this a guy?"
Bi Feiyu curled his lips and took out four chopsticks from the pocket in front of his apron, "It's so cold, how can you smoke without chopsticks?"
Yu Hua nodded repeatedly, "You are still thoughtful."
When Wang Xiaobo saw that Bi Feiyu only had four chopsticks in his hand, he asked, "Where are mine?"
"Just these four. If you want them, go out and find two branches later."
"I'll find branches for you to use..."
As they talked, the three of them walked out of the dining hall laughing and running outside.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Yu Dong couldn't help but shake his head, "These three old smokers can't stand it for a moment."
"If you can hold it back, you are no longer a smoker."
"Wang Xiaobo's problem is that he smokes a lot."
In fact, after he was rushed to the hospital, Wang Xiaobo endured a period of time without smoking. However, after he recovered, he continued to smoke and drank much less alcohol.
Another biggest change is that he now basically goes to the hospital for a full physical examination every one or two months. He himself said that he must believe in science. As long as there are no major problems in the physical examination report, there will be no problem.
In fact, since coming to Jinling, Wang Xiaobo's health has improved a lot, mainly because he sleeps every day and eats more regularly. When he was in Yanjing before, he didn't want to cook at home alone, so he would either fool around or cook with friends.
If you go out drinking and eating out, your health will naturally deteriorate in the long run.
After arriving at Jinyi, he would occasionally go to Yu Dong's house to have a meal. Even if he didn't have a meal, he could go to the school cafeteria to eat, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
Sometimes Bi Feiyu and the others would take him to play a dozen health balls and go for a run. As time went by, his work and rest naturally became more regular, so even though he had not completely quit smoking and drinking, his physical condition was much better.
.
Yu Dong and Jimmy walked toward the crowd. Everyone was busy. When they saw the two coming, they all said hello and then went back to work.
After going around in a circle, Yu Dong's eyes were really opened. Today he finally saw the diversity of spring rolls.
First of all, there are spring roll fillings, some are meaty, some are vegetarian, some are sweet and some are salty. The most bizarre thing is made by He Yu’s wife. The fillings mainly use carrots, bean sprouts, shrimps and lard, which sounds weird.
It was ordinary, but the key was that she cooked it with lard and brown sugar. Although he had never tasted it, he couldn't stand the thought of lard and brown sugar together.
He can't stand anyone from Shanghai, let alone a person from Jinling.
As for the shape and crust of the pie, Yu Dong knew that spring rolls were rolled in dough and were in the shape of long strips, but today Yu Dong saw many other shapes. The most outrageous one was made by Liu Changmin and his family, which was made of beans.
According to Liu Changmin, in order to keep the shape of the star fruit in the work, they used many long fish bones to fix it. They were afraid that the fish bones would hurt people, so they processed the fish bones repeatedly and made them into puff pastry fish bones.
It is edible. As for why they use bean curds, on the one hand, they think the bean curds taste better, and on the other hand, the light transmittance of the bean curds is better after being fried, so you can see the color of the fillings, which makes them more beautiful...
I have to say that everyone is really serious about this game.
Jimmy followed Yu Dong around for half a circle, then ran to his wife Britney to show her courtesy.
Apart from anything else, Britney's outfit is quite professional. She is the only contestant wearing a chef's hat in the entire dining hall, and she also has professional tools such as scales and measuring cups. Her technique does not look like she is in the kitchen.
