Xiang Lao, Liang Jian and Qu Ping arrived first. When Liang Jian and the others arrived, Xiang Lao and Lao Tang were playing chess. Top 23S.
Fastest update. Tang Yi is unknown. Liang Jian walked in with Qu Ping. Before they noticed them, Qu Ping suddenly whispered to Liang Jian: "Such a scene is rare. These two tripartite figures, now
But sitting together like this, Liang Jian, you are a great hero!"
It is not difficult to understand the meaning of Qu Ping's words. Mr. Xiang did not deal well with Old Tang in the past, and once asked Liang Jian to keep a distance from the Tang family. Now that they can sit down and play chess together peacefully, apart from the mutual attraction of their personalities,
In addition, most of the reasons are indeed for Liang Jian.
Liang Jian smiled sheepishly.
At this time, Mr. Xiang, who was facing the direction they came from, looked up and saw them and put down his chess pieces. Old Tang also looked over.
Mr. Xiang greeted him first and said, "Xiaoping, you're here quite early. Hurry up and sit down."
Qu Ping said hello to Lao Tang, and then sat down between the two of them. Liang Jian did not sit down, but went to the side and got a teapot. He first gave Lao Xiang and Lao Tang more tea, and then poured another cup for Qu Ping.
, and finally poured himself a glass before sitting down opposite Qu Ping.
Just as I sat down, I heard Old Tang Dynasty Qu Ping say: "Guess, who will win this game between me and your teacher?"
Qu Ping had already paid attention to this chess game before he sat down. The situation on the chessboard was stalemate, and it was difficult to say who would win. In ancient times, people liked to use chess games to play because of the chess game. As long as the opponents are equal, there are many winners and losers.
Time, only a moment, is difficult to guess.
Although Qu Ping is not bad at chess, he really doesn't dare to judge the outcome of this game. He studied it carefully and then said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, I just sat down and you gave me a move."
What a problem!”
Old Tang smiled slightly and said: "How can this be a problem? Just guess, we are just playing a game!"
After hearing this, Qu Ping looked at Old Tang, then turned to look at Old Xiang, and then said with a smile: "Then I will make a random guess, Mr. Tang, you win."
Old Tang glanced at him, then looked at Lao Xiang, and laughed loudly: "Lao Xiang, look, even your students said that I will win, why don't you quickly admit defeat?"
Xiang Lao smiled and said: "You just said, let him guess casually. Today you are the master, so he will naturally guess that you will win. Otherwise, you let Liang Jian guess and see who he guesses will win!"
After hearing this, Old Tang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, what can he tell with his chess skills?"
Liang Jian was so despised by Old Tang, he was inevitably a little depressed, and couldn't help but want to give it a try. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Tang Yi walked out from somewhere, saw Liang Jian and Qu Ping there, and laughed.
Then he said: "Since everyone is here, how about we take a seat?"
Old Tang looked at Qu Ping, and Qu Ping smiled and said, "I've heard about the name of the Tang family's imperial chef, so I can't wait!"
"Okay, then take a seat." Old Tang raised his head and said to Tang Yi.
When Qu Ping stood up, he shook hands with Tang Yi and said hello. Judging from Qu Ping's attitude towards Tang Yi, it was similar to his attitude towards Old Tang. He seemed to know that Tang Yi was not an ordinary person in the Tang family.
Liang Jian was silently watching Qu Ping's every move from behind.
Dinner was arranged in a side hall in the front yard. When they entered, there were six servants standing in the room, three on each side. Each of them was wearing uniform black clothes, just like the kind of wealthy family in ancient times.
That kind of pomp and circumstance.
Although Liang Jian has been to the Tang family many times, he has not seen this kind of scene very often. It seems that Old Tang still attaches great importance to today's dinner.
After sitting down, Tang Yi told a servant waiting outside the door about the dishes. After a while, someone brought the dishes one after another.
Qu Ping sat and watched all this and said with a smile: "I have heard that the Tang family in Beijing is extraordinary. When I saw it today, it was indeed unusual! I have never seen this dining scene in a hotel, only in TV dramas.
"
After hearing this, Old Tang smiled and said nothing. Tang Yi, who was helping to spread the dishes, said, "Secretary Qu may not know something. Many of them have been living in our Tang family for generations. Like her,
..." Tang Yi casually pointed at an eldest sister who happened to be putting dishes on the table: "Her parents also live in our Tang family." After saying that, he paused, smiled, and then continued:
"Actually, we eat very casually on weekdays, but today, distinguished guests are coming, and Secretary Qu wants to eat ancient palace dishes, so there is such a pomp."
After hearing this, Qu Ping smiled and said: "I feel embarrassed when Mr. Tang Yi said this. It seems that I shouldn't mention the imperial chef today. In fact, I mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect that Liang Jian would bring it to you."
Let’s talk.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the appetizers were all finished, and those people retreated under Old Tang's gesture and closed the door. Then, Old Tang smiled and said to Qu Ping: "Liang Jian respects you very much, so
He will naturally take your words seriously."
Qu Ping glanced at Old Tang, then at Liang Jian, and smiled.
"Speaking of which, I have never tasted the dishes cooked by this descendant of the imperial chef. Today, thanks to you Xiaoping, I can also have a feast!" Mr. Xiang interjected.
Old Tang took over: "Let's put it this way, in fact, today we all owe it to Secretary Qu. This descendant of the royal chef of the palace has not been cooking for some years. Today, the chef still heard that the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee wanted to
Come on, he just nodded and turned on the fire."
"When Mr. Tang said that, I feel even more embarrassed." Qu Ping took over and said with a smile.
Old Tang laughed loudly, and then complimented each other a few times before the meal officially started. Liang Jian had been sitting there, unable to interrupt. In fact, he didn't really want to interrupt, so he looked at the three of them quietly.
Conversations between people are actually quite interesting. The conversations between Lao Tang, Lao Xiang, and Qu Ping seem to be all compliments to each other and have little nutrition. In fact, if you taste it for yourself, you will find that these words are also a kind of temptation.
Testing each other. There is even a bit of other flavors in it, such as demonstrations!
When the appetizer was almost finished, Tang Yi suddenly got up and went out. Not long after he left, Qu Ping suddenly said: "A few days ago, I went to visit an old chief, and the old chief mentioned you to me, Mr. Tang.
"
Old Tang let out a surprised sound and asked: "Which old leader?"
Qu Ping replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, Mr. Tang might want to call him uncle. This old chief was once a comrade in arms with Mr. Tang's father. According to the old chief, they used to have a good relationship." After speaking, he smiled.
He looked at Old Tang.
Old Tang frowned and pondered. He was probably guessing who the old leader was. On the other side, Old Xiang also looked thoughtful. He looked at Qu Ping and then at Old Tang.
Liang Jian was also looking at Qu Ping. At this time, Qu Ping suddenly mentioned the old chief. It was definitely not a casual conversation, and it must have his purpose.
While Liang Jian was guessing his purpose, Old Tang suddenly asked with a look of surprise: "Are you talking about Mr. Xu?"
Qu Ping smiled and nodded: "It's him."
A different light suddenly flashed in Old Tang's eyes, and then he asked: "How is Mr. Xu's health now?"
"Very healthy. I went to see him before, and he said he was going to run a marathon!" Qu Ping said with a smile. Old Tang also laughed: "Really? He should be almost ninety years old, right?"
Qu Ping nodded: "Eighty-nine, Ma is ninety."
"Then he is really strong and healthy," Old Tang said.
At this time, Mr. Xiang took over and said, "I also visited Mr. Xu a few days ago. His mental state is even better than mine."
Qu Ping may not have expected that Mr. Xiang had also visited Mr. Xu, so he was slightly surprised, and then asked: "Teacher, where did you go? Why didn't you ask me to come with you?"
Mr. Xiang looked at him and said: "Two days ago, you are now the municipal party committee secretary. I was busy with work, so I didn't call you. However, Mr. Xu mentioned you to me."
A look of uneasiness suddenly flashed across Qu Ping's face, but only for a moment. He smiled calmly and said, "Really? Is the old man telling you that I don't go there too often?"
Xiang Lao shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
This smile caused the uneasy look that had flashed across Qu Ping's face to appear again.
On the side, Old Tang looked at the two of them thoughtfully.
Liang Jian also noticed something strange about Qu Ping's face that appeared and disappeared instantly. It seemed that Mr. Xiang might have learned something about Qu Ping from Mr. Xu.
However, Mr. Xiang seemed to have no intention of speaking out.
After going out for a while, Tang Yi came back with several main dishes, all of which were famous palace dishes in the past.
The conversation that had just gotten into a good mood stopped, and those secretly competing compliments reappeared.
About half an hour later, several main dishes were almost finished. Qu Ping picked up the hot towel brought by the servant, wiped his hands and mouth, and then smiled and said: "The descendants of the imperial chef are indeed well-deserved. The taste of this dish
, the most authentic I have ever tasted.”
Old Tang smiled and then sighed: "It's a pity that this master is old now, and none of his three apprentices have learned his true skills. From now on, these skills will be lost." Old Tang spoke
At that time, his face was full of pity. He was really pity.
Qu Ping took over: "Let me tell you, this old chef should have opened a chef class in the early years to pass on these traditional skills. We can't keep good things to ourselves, we have to share them, right?"
Not only Old Tang, but also Liang Jian heard what he said, and there was something in it.
"That's what I say, but after all, it is a craft that people have learned hard. If you don't want to share it, that's fine. We can't force others, can we?" Old Tang said.
Qu Ping glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Tang is right."
"Let me tell you, let's get down to business quickly." Mr. Xiang suddenly interjected.
Old Tang smiled slightly and said, "Yes. They all said they forgot about it."
Qu Ping looked at Mr. Xiang, then at Liang Jian, and then said: "Before coming here, Liang Jian mentioned to me that Mr. Tang has obtained important information about Guo, right?"
Old Tang glanced at Liang Jian, and then asked: "Is this what Liang Jian told you?"
Qu Ping also glanced at Liang Jian, and then asked, "Did Liang Jian send me the wrong message?"
