The rule of Tan's cuisine is that at any table, there must be room for the host.
The host will usually come over to have a few bites of the food and chat with the guests. This practice is traditional and also reflects a kind of face.
Today, Fang Lianjun is treating a guest, and the host who comes over is the third generation descendant of the Tan family. The upper class circles in the capital privately call him Lao Tan.
Now Lao Tan, the restaurant's owner, is no longer involved.
Normally, the fourth generation heir, Xiao Tan, is in charge of the restaurant. Usually, even if it is Xiao Tan, it is not easy for customers to meet him in person.
So this time Lao Tan came over to sit and have a chat, which was enough to give Fang Lianjun some face.
Fang Lianjun is fifty years old, and Lao Tan is seventy years old this year. They are twenty years apart, but they are very casual.
Fang Lianjun introduced Chen Jing to Old Tan seriously. The old man squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Young talents, young talents! Young and talented people are enviable. If that kid from my family has a big future, I will let him take over."
My class?”
When he said this, everyone laughed.
The heir of Tan's cuisine is not just a cook. Each successor of Tan's cuisine holds the title of main leader of the culinary association, the title of cooking master, and many international awards. His social status is quite high.
Chen Jing and Fang Lianjun are both in the officialdom, and the Tan family is in the cooking industry. These are basically two parallel lines.
It is precisely because of this that the Tan family's connections are so wide and their influence in the capital is so great.
There is great wisdom in this.
In the past, there were many official dishes. Duan's cuisine, which was famous in the political circles, and Wang's cuisine, which was famous in the military circles, were once famous. However, in the end, these names were all erased from the capital. Only Tan's cuisine, which was passed down from the Qing palace, stood out. Among them were
It embodies the wisdom of the Tan family.
The ancestors of the Tan family who came out of the Qing palace in a serious manner were not in the officialdom, but they were well aware of the dangers of the officialdom. Their behavior was low-key, smooth, unassuming, and extremely reserved.
In the past, to eat Tan's cuisine, you had to be introduced by someone who was familiar with the Tan's family. It would take three days to make a steamed shark's fin dish.
Through these bits and pieces, people can feel the wisdom and sincerity of the Daotan family, which is also the cornerstone of their standing.
Fang Lianjun naturally felt that it was very honorable for Lao Tan to take action in person.
He drank more wine, and became familiar with Chen Jing in conversation. Later, his elegant manner gradually faded away, and he became more relaxed when talking to Chen Jing, and he was even more confident in his speech.
He patted Chen Jing on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Jing, your eldest brother is not bragging in Beijing. I have been around for fifty years and I still have some connections. If you have difficulties at work in the future, just ask, we brothers are of the same mind, your
It's my business.
There are some things I want to do well if I have the conditions, and I can do them well if I create conditions even if there are no conditions, so you’re welcome to follow me!”
Chen Jingdao: "Brother, you said this, I won't be polite in the future!"
Fang Lianjun laughed loudly and said: "You're welcome, being polite means it's foreign! We are almost 20 years apart in age. I am a well-deserved eldest brother. If I don't support your work, who else will I support?"
Chen Jing smiled and said nothing.
He could feel that Fang Lianjun was quite proud inside.
With a few simple words, you can feel his pride.
When he talked to Chen Jing, his intention to support him was very obvious, and he was also quite supportive.
However, Chen Jing has an open mind and definitely does not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he feels very good.
These days, Chen Jing lives a low-key life and does things in a high-profile manner.
As long as anyone likes that high hat thing, Chen Jing will be happy to give it to him.
This thing is great. Sometimes when a few top hats are given away, the benefits obtained are considerable. You can get benefits without spending any money. Chen Jing is most happy with this kind of beautiful thing.
However, Han Qian was very sensitive. She gave Fang Lianjun an angry look and said: "Old Fang, you like to talk when you drink too much. I have told you so many times not to drink, but you just don't listen. I really blame you."
Method. Xiaojing is a young and talented family who has his own style of doing things. Do you still need your advice? "
Fang Lianjun said: "What? Am I wrong? I said I would support Xiao Jing's work. If I, the eldest brother, don't support his work, who else will?"
Chen Jingdao: "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. I am in urgent need of support now. Especially the support of the leader, I need it even more!"
Fang Lianjun said proudly: "How about it, wife, Xiao Jing said the same, right?"
After eating the meal for more than three hours, the four of them came out of the restaurant. Fang Lianjun was already drunk and talking quite a lot.
Han Qian wanted to say goodbye to Fang Wanqi, but he felt it was not enough and suggested going to the Foot Washing City to relax.
And Chen Jing had other arrangements, and it seemed wrong to refuse, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
Just at this moment, Chen Jing saw an acquaintance in the parking lot. He was stunned, wasn't this Gao Wei?
Just as he was about to say hello, Han Qian said from the side: "Lao Fang, that seems to be Minister Gao of the Ministry of Finance who just took office. He is also here for dinner?"
Fang Lianjun looked at the parking lot drunkenly, paused slightly, and quickly walked over.
"Takabe, Takabe, what a coincidence? Are you here for dinner today?"
Gao Wei stood still and saw Fang Lianjun in front of him. He said hurriedly: "Hey, it's Brother Fang. Hello, hello! What? What distinguished guests are you hosting today?"
Fang Lianjun smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not a distinguished guest, but several members of our family are here to have a gathering. This..."
He turned around to call Chen Jing and found that Chen Jing was already behind him. He hurriedly said: "Jingzi, this is..."
Halfway through his words, Chen Jing already said with a smile: "Minister Gao, nice to meet you! I'm going to call you, and considering that you are busy before the holiday, I will..."
As soon as Gao Wei looked at Chen Jing, he said "Huh", walked up immediately, patted Chen Jing's shoulder hard and said: "You kid, you better call me when I ask you to come to Beijing."
, I dare to forget this matter.
Don't give me excuses, I've written this down, and I'll settle the score with you tomorrow!"
Chen Jing said with a busy face: "Gaobu, I really just arrived yesterday. My parents came from Chujiang this morning. I went to pick them up. In the afternoon, my eldest brother will have dinner here. I..."
Gao Wei stared at Chen Jing with a serious expression. After a long time, he laughed and said: "You kid, okay! I'm sorry, let's forget about it. What should I do about the appointment I made with you? Can you do it tomorrow?"
Chen Jing pondered for a moment, and Gao Wei asked him to go visit Mi Qian together.
Chen Jing was not prepared for this. He originally wanted to take time to go after the new year, but Gao Wei seemed to be in a hurry, so he said: "Okay, we will do it tomorrow. By the way, Gao Bu, I am coming from Lingnan."
In a hurry, I will only bring you some local specialties from Lingnan, you..."
Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What specialties are there in Lingnan? Lychees? That stuff isn't fresh! Besides, it's not the right season now!"
Chen Jing smiled and said: "Don't say that, there are still some interesting things in Lingnan! I will send you a gift tomorrow. I'm sure you like it!"
"Okay, okay, I want to see if you are telling lies. If I like it, you are paying a bribe. When the Discipline Inspection Commission comes to me, I will definitely expose you!" Gao Weidao.
Chen Jing and Gao Wei chatted for a long time before shaking hands and saying goodbye.
After Gao Wei's gag, Fang Lianjun stopped mentioning the foot washing city.
This was exactly what Chen Jing wanted, so he immediately said goodbye and drove away with Fang Wanqi in a hurry.
Han Qian and Fang Lianjun watched them go away.
After a long time, Fang Lianjun narrowed his eyes and said: "This Chen Jing is really not to be underestimated. He is also very familiar with the people of the Gao family!"
Gao Wei's entry into the Ministry of Finance this time was quite a sensation in the capital.
Gao Wei was young, and this time he was promoted as an exception. I don’t know how many people were surprised by this.
Chujiang produces cadres. There have been many cadres coming out of Chujiang over the years, but there is no one like Gao Wei who has risen through the ranks so quickly.
On the one hand, this is due to Gao Wei's good achievements in Chujiang. From the deputy director of the Organization Department to the top leader of the prefecture and city, his work is remarkable. The province is very satisfied with him, so he naturally entered the Central |
out of sight.
Of course, what is more important is the foundation of Gao Wei and the Gao family in the capital.
Compared with the Fang family, the Gao family is more famous.
The Gao family, the Beijing-Tianjin dynasty, which has been a well-known power faction in the Republic in the past ten years, is the core of it.
Half of the elders who are in charge of the central government are from Beijing and Tianjin. From this, we can see how powerful this faction is.
The reason why Gao Wei's rise has attracted attention recently is that his future may be unlimited.
Recently, people in the capital who want to establish a relationship with Gao Wei are flocking to him.
Even Fang Lianjun hopes to make this relationship stronger and create some conditions for his further progress in the future.
Today was originally an opportunity, but he never expected that Chen Jing would be so familiar with Gao Wei.
This can be felt through the conversation between the two.
How many people in the Gao family are not awesome?
Gao Wei is also a very difficult person to get along with, but judging from his attitude towards Chen Jing, it is obvious that the two of them are not casual acquaintances.
This shocked Fang Lianjun inside.
At this time, he was already more than half awake from the wine, and he thought about what he had just said at the wine table.
He reflected carefully and found that he had exaggerated a bit.
After all, he didn’t have much contact with Chen Jing and lacked sufficient understanding and knowledge. He was a little reckless just now!
Han Qian on the side touched him and said: "Why are you still looking around? Everyone has already gone away!"
Fang Lianjun chuckled and said: "We will get closer to Wanqi and the others from now on. Chen Jing is not a creature in the pond, and will soar to the sky sooner or later. Compared to Tang Zhi and Gu Linfeng, he has more stamina."
He clapped his hands and said: "My father said it well, the most important thing for a person is to see far! I suffered from this before and made many mistakes. Before I knew it, I have entered the year of destiny.
Young people are so amazing, I feel old!"
Han Qian stared at her husband and said softly: "Old Fang, you can't say depressing words. The wonderful life of fifty has just begun. We must make good control of the future. There is still a chance for everything!" (To be continued.
