night.
The sky darkened.
The meal lasted until after eight o'clock.
The lights have been turned on in Courtyard House. Everyone gathered around the stone table to eat, drink and toast. The atmosphere among colleagues was very harmonious.
"Come, drink." The Power of Time and Wealth 1641
"One more bite."
"Then let's all do it."
"Okay, cheers. Cheers."
"Director Dong has a really good drinking capacity."
"Come on, I can't do that. Director Yin has a good drinking capacity."
"Haha, I didn't drink much, you didn't dare to drink me."
"Director Yin Now that you've said that, why should we be so polite? I suggest we have another round of drinks."
"Goodbye, it's already past eight o'clock, and it's time for Director Dong to rest. I think we'd better go back early and have a good time."
"Director Yin This is obviously the limit."
"Hey, don't expose me, hehe."
After the meal was finished, Dong Xuebin and Yin Cheng'an began to drink tea to sober up. Zhang Dongliang and Han Fei helped clear away the plates, dishes, and chopsticks. Dong Xuebin persuaded them and told them to just leave it in the kitchen for a while while he washed the dishes, but several people didn't listen and helped him come to the leader's house for dinner. The leader still cooked the food himself. It was obviously impossible for them to let Dong Xuebin wash the dishes again. That would be too unethical.
Fortunately, no one drank to death and no one fell down.
After they finished their work, Dong Xuebin immediately greeted them, "Come and have tea."
"Okay." Han Fei sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "It tastes good!"
Sun Zhaobang and Zhang Dongliang also came over. After tasting the tea, they all praised the tea. In fact, they didn't really understand it, but they just thought it tasted good. It didn't seem to be the same as the tea they had drunk before. The fragrance was too strong, but it was still a very good fragrance.
Only Yin Cheng'an, who had been drinking tea by himself, recognized the product. He gently put down the tea cup, looked at the others and said with a smile, "It's more than good tea. Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Han Fei blinked. "What tea?"
He Zhou was stunned. "It's true what you said. I've never tasted anything like this."
Yin Cheng'an said happily, "It's Big Red Robe. It's not the kind sold in supermarkets and tea shops. It should be tea from old trees that have long been closed to the public." The Power of Time and Wealth 1641
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Director Yin knows the goods."
Yin Cheng'an said, "I was on a business trip with the leader before. I was lucky enough to drink it once. I have always remembered the taste. How could I forget it? This is a tea that you drink less after drinking a little. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to drink it after so many years. Director Dong It's actually here."
Han Fei immediately shouted, "Real or false?"
He Zhou's eyes were solemn and he took another serious sip.
Sun Zhaobang was also shocked. He just swallowed it in one mouthful. He didn't even taste anything. He felt like he was wasting his resources too much. Just this one mouthful probably cost several thousand yuan. This pot cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands? Moreover, this kind of tea and the Courtyard House yiyàng from the Director Dong family cannot be bought by rich people, or it is not too much to say that even the rich and powerful cannot buy it, because everyone here is a person with a background, but they don't know where to get this kind of Big Red Robe, and they have only heard about it occasionally.
What a luxury!
This Director Dong is too moist, right?
The more everyone looks at it, the more they feel that this is not like the life of a Zhengchu Level cadre at all!
Courtyard House? Big Red Robe? Liquor costs tens of thousands? Not to mention division-level cadres, even Bu Level cadres do not have such luxury!
Dong Xuebin said, "I also bought it from others. I originally had some, but later I gave some away. I don't have much left here, but Director Yin, if you like it, you can get some before you leave."
Yin Cheng'an waved his hand and said, "Farewell, I won't take away anyone's love."
Dong Xuebin said with a smile, "I don't know much about tea, so it would be a waste to leave it here."
"No, you should keep it and drink it. If I get addicted and don't have to drink it anymore, I'd be blind." Yin Cheng'an joked.
Dong Xuebin saw that he didn't want it, so he didn't say anything. Even half a tael of this kind of tea was far more than a thousand yuan. We are all cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and they belong to Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, so they usually have to pay more attention than cadres of other agencies. Dong Xuebin understood, so he didn't try to persuade him.
Knowing how precious the tea was, everyone drank it carefully. Everyone took a few more sips with solemn expressions and nodded repeatedly.
Dong Xuebin didn't mind drinking it. First of all, he didn't take the tea seriously. It was difficult for others to get it, so it was easier for him. If he finished drinking it, he would have to go to Old Master Xie's house to get some., others don't have it, Grandpa Xie's place is not bad, even if it's not much, it's enough for Dong Xuebin to drink. Secondly, Dong Xuebin really doesn't understand tea. He doesn't even know Longjing and " Mao Jian'er can't even tell the difference. They all taste the same. How do you know how precious Big Red Robe is? He doesn't have that kind of taste and class. For Dong Xuebin, one or two of these will cost ten thousand yuan. There is no essential difference between Big Red Robe in unit calculation and Coca-Cola. They are both thirst quenchers. Dong Xuebin and my family usually don't drink this. At most, it is used to entertain guests without losing etiquette.
The pot of tea was quickly finished.
In fact, you can still drink it. Dong Xuebin usually drinks tea like this with his family. No matter what, a pot of tea can only make three shots. Sometimes he is too lazy to move or wait. He can drink a cup of black tea for a whole day, and it can last for a whole day if mixed with water. Seven or eight times is enough to quench the thirst, but when guests come, Dong Xuebin is very particular about it, and he throws away the tea leaves without feeling distressed, sprinkles some more Big Red Robe in, and collects water to wait.
Han Fei drank some wine and started talking more. He said in wonder, "Director Dong, let me calculate, just in the few hours since I came to your house, I've probably lost tens of thousands of dollars." I have never eaten such a luxurious meal. Then I only ate a few thousand for Qianmen Restaurant. The four of us ate a few thousand in total. Counting the six or seven of us together, we ate at least hundreds of thousands today!"
Everyone was speechless when they heard it!
This is indeed the case. Big Red Robe Let's not talk about it. Those bottles of red wine and decades of Moutai cost more than 100,000. In total, it's really hundreds of thousands!
I don't know if I don't want to, but I'll be frightened when I think about it! The Power of Time and Wealth 1641
Dong Xuebin "interjected" and said, "It's okay. It's not my money anyway. It's all taken from relatives and friends. I can't drink or eat by myself. Everyone will come here often."
Yin Cheng'an laughed and said, "Just once. A sip of this tea costs several thousand, and a cup of wine costs several thousand. I drank with fear, but as a saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the taste is extraordinary. It's so enjoyable."
At this time, He Zhou touched the cigarette case and the cigarette was gone.
There are no more cigarettes in the cigarette boxes of Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongliang. They had just been drinking and chatting, and everyone had smoked a lot.
"Director Dong, is there a canteen near here?" He Zhou said, "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Dong Xuebin looked at the cigarette case and saw that it was gone. He thought that the Chinese cigarettes at home were all gone, and the remaining ones were all in Family Compound. He just moved here and he didn't bother to take them. His eyes moved and he suddenly said, "The canteen is a bit far away. Well, we don't have flue-cured cigarettes at home, but we do have cigars."
He Zhou's eyes lit up, "Cigar?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I haven't taken it apart yet, let's try it?"
Yin Cheng'an was not polite, "Try it, the smoke is strong enough."
Dong Xuebin went back to the house to get it. Zhang Longjuan brought it to him from abroad. Because Big Sister Zhang prefers smoking cigars, Dong Xuebin has no interest in it, so he kept opening it. After digging out the wooden box, he took it out and put it on the stone table.
Yin Cheng'an asked in confusion, "What kind of cigar is this?"
Sun Zhaobang said, "Well, I haven't seen such a box before."
"I don't know, it should be pretty good." Dong Xuebin took a long time to open the box. There were only a few cigars in the single digits. However, he distributed them to everyone, and he also took one and lit it up. Well, it was not bad, but he didn't feel much special, and the taste was the same. This guy grew up in an ordinary commoner's family, and he had no concept or taste of these luxury goods.
But there is writing on the box.
He Zhou took a puff of the cigarette, his face was startled, then he lowered his head and looked at the wooden box carefully, and suddenly took a breath, "Is this Trinidad?"
Han Fei asked, "What Trinidad?"
"Trinidad is in a wooden box and imported from Cuba." He Zhou snorted, "This should be the most expensive cigarette sold to foreign countries in the world. I've only heard of it, but these few cigars should cost around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, maybe even a little higher."
Zhang Dongliang, who took a puff on time, almost choked and coughed, "Twenty or thirty thousand?"
One piece of Zhonghua only costs a few hundred!
It is still a nationally famous good smoke!
This cigar costs 20,000 to 30,000? Just a few? Why is it so expensive??
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I actually don't understand. Let's try something new. Rare things are more valuable. In fact, this cigarette may not be that good. I don't think it is as easy to smoke as Zhongnanhai."
Yin Cheng'an was also happy, "How does Zhongnanhai compare? Although I have never smoked Trinidad, I have heard of this cigarette. The Trinidad wooden box seems to be one of the most expensive cigarettes sold to the outside world. Our domestic more expensive Yellow Crane Tower nineteen-digit model is also far worse than this price."
Dong Xuebin Of course I know this cigarette won't be cheap. Big Sister Zhang Who is that? As a big boss with assets of more than 10 billion yuan, can the things given by others be bad? Not only is it expensive, but the cigarette is definitely not easy to buy. Otherwise, why would Big Sister Zhang bring it all the way from the Fu Continent to him?
Enjoy tea.
smoke.
Several people felt a little uneasy.
Their Second Office's new Director Dong is really too bad!
Just take out any ordinary consumables at home, and they cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? I'm going! Your little life is so enviable, right? And all this money can be obtained from a serious source? After a rough assessment, everyone thinks that Dong Xuebin may be the richest official in the country! Even those officials who are corrupt and bribery! I'm afraid the assets are far less than Dong Xuebin! Not even close! (To be continued.
