Time special Songcha experience

Early days, swap the goods of China's exports are mainly agricultural products. The winter of 1955, in order to strengthen the acquisition, processing, storage and transportation of agricultural and sideline products, the State Council decided that the reason the Department of Commerce and Foreign Trade parts administered by the bulk purchase of agricultural business, consolidated and integrated, additional procurement of agricultural products of the People's Republic of China, consists of cotton, smoke hemp, livestock, tea four professional procurement agency. Then I happened to be in the tea Procurement Agency to do secretarial work.

With the strengthening of the of Origin procurement agencies and purchasing power, 1956 acquisition Chuncha, increase in volume of high quality, which is of course a political achievements of the newly established agricultural Purchasing Department. Once Yang Yichen Minister came to our Tea Board, back to the newly built "rating tearoom. The taste when origin tea samples sent his two new tea quality particularly appreciated, and chatted about the new technology of tea, tea and commentary tea operational requirements and assessment Tea technician. Heard as early as Minister Yang joined the party in 1927, the old revolutionary and literary background, and his easygoing to his arrival did not take long, had convened the open once the secretary of the Bureau will preach file transfer wording essentials, presentation management, confidentiality concept, as well as the duties of the secretary of requirements. These details of the work of a minister is personally accountable to the front-line staff, so we naturally enhance the intimacy of his senior cadres. This time see his commentary tea so the mood, I can see, the Minister of the year the spring and acquisition work is obviously very satisfied.

Work two days later, our Secretary called me immediately to the office of the Minister Yang said task account. This is my sleeping mat into the minister's office, the mood is inevitably tension restrained. But the Minister seems to see an acquaintance, began to ask: day commentary tea Pingchu the best of the two, is what kind of tea? "I replied:" Longjing Zhejiang and Anhui Tippy. "" You go tell Chengju Zhang , for each selected a list and to lay the letter I listed, distributed to the leadership of the Central Committee and the State Council to pay attention to: quality assurance, careful supervision, not quiet, someone special delivery. "

Immediately report to the Secretary, the Secretary has attached great importance to me back to the list and a stack of letters, after discussing commanded me: a notice of assessment tearoom, he said to send exhibition purposes, must be selected boutique, absolute guarantee of quality: two to choose tea canning , you must hand full supervision and strict sealing:, somehow, sent a car you made a special trip to go get it now not to what others say. Then this task, I really have a sense of fear and trepidation. I look at the list figured list of Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Chen Yun, Deng Xiaoping, Li Fuchun, Li Xiannian, Bo Yibo, He Long, Chen Yi, Zihui, Ulanhu, Li Weihan, Lu Ting, 15, each people 2, a total of 30. Look at the letters, to the effect that the acquisition to strengthen leadership, increase the purchase price, increased purchasing networks, improved assessment Tea valuation method, so the the the tea farmers tea tea enthusiasm greatly improve, ushered in the spring and yield higher level, the storage amount The record of excellent situation. Special sent two kinds of tea samples, for epistemic tasting.

Before the tea, Secretary, several Deputy Secretary I also studied what packaging as well. Go to the store to buy a ready-made gift box, nice and easy way. Also said tin boxes of tea teahouse assessment, save tea traditional appliances. Maybe I was young and bold, I do not know where the courage, dare not in favor of the leadership of these views, I said: "Minister Yang letter is sent to the new tea samples, it is better still to use common tinplate sample cans, it is sample. "Unexpectedly hit by the adoption of this opinion. Afternoon, a deputy director with me in assessing a tearoom, supervision of 30 samples of tea the election tea and packaging the whole process. Every, like, all the other equipped with backup ID retained.

To the General Office of the Chief Songcha the day, I want a car, said Zhongnanhai send files only. Into the north gate of Zhongnanhai, Front comrades explained what he wanted, he went to called, and then come back to me and said: "Please leave a letter and tea, but there are three, you want another sent to the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and Comrade Chen Yi , sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Helong comrades, sent to the National Sports Commission; Ulanhu comrades, sent to Inner Mongolia, the Beijing Office. "inappropriate for me to ask, just ask him to sign his behest, and then separately To send.
Sports Commission first sent after receipt, very smoothly completed. Next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the reception is very strict. First ask what people with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have agreed, Comrade Chen Yi know do not know it, Where is the tea production where packaging. After them my first call to make an appointment, and then related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff came out to receive me. I really did not expect that there will be such setbacks, and do not want to fold back again some reservation. Then think of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, each year must transferring a number of gift of tea to our Board for the use of the embassies and consulates abroad to entertain personal contact I of Protocol. So he called looking for him, he just came out to see me, promised will be forwarded to the tea Chen Laozong secretary. But before leaving he smiled and complement the sentence: "this year, give the gift of tea Ministry, should choose such a good hey!" "Must reflect the leadership."

Last went to Inner Mongolia, Beijing Office, also very smooth sign is completed, just the side of a middle-aged man asked me to send tea, my answer is green tea. He seems to casually say an "Oh, fine, but we Mongolian people used to drink more brick tea." This statement in mind, back to the Secretary said. The Secretary then told: supplemented send two good brick tea to go tomorrow.

A few days later, the secretary of Minister Yang phoned me and said that several central leadership, called or wrote to the Minister Yang, to give thanks for the receipt of new tea. Minister Yang this thing run smoothly and be glad. He also cared give Shuai Mengqi Sister complement send a. I said, two days sent a sleeping mat.
Ten years ago I visit in Chengdu is 90 old Cheng Rong Secretary also recalled that in some agricultural products procurement old man old things. Yang Yichen Minister in different views engage in grandiose of the Great Leap Forward, was demoted to the Qinghai reduced to Commercial Director of the Office. The Cultural Revolution because of Liu Shaoqi is a fake party members reject the false grounds and ravaged, interrupted by a rib and teeth. Vindicated after serving successively in Hebei, Henan, died of illness in the post of vice governor of Henan Province in 1980. Half a century later, would like to express heartfelt remembrance Yang Yichen old revolution, the old leadership this past Looking back.
