Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

How will the Russian delegation's visit be in a month? But tonight's dinner still featured the carefully prepared braised venison.

Moreover, in order to mask the slight gamey smell on the venison jelly from being left out for a long time, Lu Weiguo fried it in lard.

That dish was incredibly delicious, and its pairing with the grain-based liquor was exceptionally ingenious.

but.

The leaders who ate that dish all experienced symptoms the next day, such as sore throat, swollen face, stuffy nose, and even a slight fever.

Of course, anyone who has eaten venison or had tuberculosis knows that these are all precursors to tuberculosis.

But this is all for later.

The guesthouse was able to stay because Lu Weiguo had personally gone up the mountain these past few days, taking the recovered lynxes to search for ingredients.

This dinner was incredibly lavish.

In terms of ingredients alone, it is incomparable to the restaurants of later generations.

"Bear paws, tiger meat, venison, grouse, forest frogs, pheasants, roe deer, wild spring fish, tofu, snake meat, leopard meat..."

Commissioner Zhang was completely dumbfounded as Lu Weiguo introduced each of the wild game dishes.

Honestly, even though he's a provincial commissioner with deputy provincial-level benefits and has seen so much of the world, he's never eaten so much wild game at one table.

Even if we don't mention tiger meat, bear paws are not dishes he can easily get his hands on.

Don't be fooled by later writers who used bear paws as commas; you can catch bears as long as you go up the mountain.

In reality, even with hunting rifles, if three or five hunters encountered a bear and managed to kill it, they would have to sacrifice several dogs.

Only experienced hunters have a chance to kill a bear without taking damage.

And the most precious bear paw could never have gotten into his hands.

"Weiguo, you've put in a lot of effort. Secretary Zhao and Director Yu, the fact that you were able to procure so much wild game speaks volumes about the work done in Danjiang County and the reform pilot program there."

We've already reached the forefront of the entire province!

Work is work, and drinking is drinking, but in Northeast China, these two things have never been separated since ancient times.

No matter how well you do your job, you can't succeed if you don't handle drinking at the dinner table properly.

If you can entertain people well at the dinner table, you can naturally have some problems at work.

"It's all thanks to Commissioner Zhang's excellent leadership! A train runs fast because of its locomotive. With you, a locomotive that cares about the people, we're sure to stay on the right track while maintaining speed!"

Zhao Kaishan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. His words were full of hidden meanings, praising Commissioner Zhang to the skies.

Lu Weiguo sat down next to him, looking at the sycophantic man with disdain.

I really didn't know that this old guy had this side to him.

"Everyone, eat and drink well, drink and eat well, and don't leave until you're drunk!"

When it was Lu Weiguo's turn, he really couldn't be bothered to deal with these shrewd people.

However, it was because he was sitting in the number three position.

Even though it was explained so simply, the rest of the people applauded enthusiastically.

"As expected of an elite comrade in reform work, he used the simplest words to express the most basic needs of the people."

The county propaganda team raised their glasses and drank it all.

"Look, Comrade Weiguo is teaching us how to respect our superiors first, eat before drinking to avoid upset stomachs. He's also teaching us how to handle affairs properly: drink before eating to avoid mistakes. He's truly a role model for young people!!"

The deputy secretary of the county party committee is even more prone to making wild claims.

In the end, even Commissioner Zhang's secretary toasted Lu Weiguo separately.

However, he simply said, "Such an outstanding young man must be ranked in the top ten in the entire province."

At first, no one could understand the meaning of this sentence.

until....

A month later.

It was just one week before the Russian delegation arrived.

Lu Weiguo was still finishing up the guesthouse work, preparing to return to the county committee.

A special letter was delivered directly to Lu Weiguo.

The secretary informed me that Commissioner Zhang had nominated him, and he had actually been selected as one of the province's top ten outstanding youths.

Millions of people across Heilongjiang province!!

It's unclear whether it was just a casual remark from the secretary or a spur-of-the-moment idea from Commissioner Zhang.

Lu Weiguo was actually selected as one of the Ten Outstanding Young People.

Two years ago, even when he wasn't gambling, he wouldn't have been considered one of the top ten outstanding youths in the village.

He was just a farmer who later became a hunter. Why?!

but!

It only took about two years.

Not to mention a wife, children, and a warm bed.

Even he became one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons!

"Weiguo, you're awesome! You've really brought honor to our guesthouse!!"

Yu Hong crawled out from under the desk, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Lu Weiguo with a drooling gaze.

"Did I tell you to get up? You won't listen again!!"

Lu Weiguo was happy, but he would never forgive this disobedient woman.

Just a few days ago, when he returned to the village, this little slut actually teamed up with the twin sisters to raid his house.

They spent two whole days making a fuss at his house.

This made him afraid to even leave his house.

Even when his parents brought their children to visit him, he didn't dare open the door.

A mature woman exuding an alluring charm, plus two youthful twin sisters.

With this setup, they finally managed to subdue Lu Weiguo.

But once he returned from Fendou Village, Yu Hong's good days would be over.

For a whole week, no one stood up from under his desk.

"Wow! An outstanding young person, congratulations!! My dad said this is a rare sight even in the province!"

Before Zhao Jiahuan had even finished educating Yu Hong, he clapped his hands and came to celebrate.

"However, my father said that when you get to the provincial party committee, you should thank Commissioner Zhang. My father heard that without his strong recommendation, they would have started preparing for the quota in October."

You will absolutely not have this chance.

In October, Commissioner Zhang still hadn't arrived.

Upon hearing this news, he felt a pang of guilt for the first time over the venison.

However, that guilt was fleeting.

I felt only gratitude towards Commissioner Zhang.

Don't underestimate this honor.

Whether in his future work or in his official career, he will bear the title of one of the Ten Outstanding Young People.

Within a certain level, there are no obstacles whatsoever!

He was previously famous in Fendou Village and Danjiang County for catching human traffickers and had received commendation from Danjiang County.

But once you leave the county, who will know you? Who will recognize this award?

But the Top Ten Outstanding Youths are different.

One in millions—that's the elite of the elite.

With that title alone, no place would give you a second glance!

The benefits of invisibility are countless.

. . . . . . .

To celebrate, the two connected offices were opened.

Yu Hong, Zhao Jiahuan, Liu Mei, and Liu Xia locked the outer door, and Lu Weiguo felt everyone's warmth.

Two rooms weren't enough for their celebration.

From the desk in the small office to the sofa, to the carpet in the large office.

The four women had never been so serious and crazy before.

For the first time, Lu Weiguo felt a sense of insatiable greed.

However, those who are only happy for a short time are all hypocritical believers.

The next day, without even closing his eyes, he still got into the special car to go to the county committee.
