Chapter 20: The Tang Palace Feast
Yi Fanrou was destined not to get satisfactory news from He Liang's mouth, and at this time, Zhang Chenxing had already gone to Han Xuejun's house for a turn, and after Han Xuejun picked up his wife and children, they went to the northern suburbs of Xijing together.
Han Xuejun's father Han Wenyou works in the provincial party committee, and the provincial party committee of Sanqin Province is in the northern suburbs, he is at the behest of his father to entertain Zhang Chenxing, and at the same time, Han Wenyou also wants to get to know him, a young martial arts master!
The car stopped in front of a high-rise building, and then, under the guidance of Han Xuejun, came to a restaurant called "Tang Palace Banquet".
As soon as you enter the door of the restaurant, there is a wide corridor, there is a row of dragon pillars on each side, the top of the corridor is the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, and at the end of a high platform, a big dragon chair is placed on it, which looks brilliant under the illumination of the light, showing the ancient royal style.
Looking at the decoration inside, Zhang Chenxing knew that this restaurant was not low-grade, maybe it was still the top one in Xijing City.
Seeing a guest coming in, the waiter dressed in the Tang Dynasty palace immediately greeted him with a smile and led a few people into the private room.
"My dad had just finished the matter, and it would take about five or six minutes to arrive, so we would order the food first, and when he came, it would be served. After warmly beckoning Zhang Chenxing to sit down, Han Xuejun asked Zhang Chenxing's taste preferences, and then took the menu and ordered.
It's not that Han Xuejun doesn't let Zhang Chenxing order, but the dishes here are different from other places, if you give it to an unfamiliar person, it will be to embarrass the other party.
"The dishes here are said to be made according to the recipes of the Tang Dynasty, which are very historical and cultural characteristics, classmate Zhang, you are studying history, you should come to try the dishes here!" After ordering and taking a seat, Han Xuejun said to Zhang Chenxing with a smile.
"Looking at the decoration style here, you can guess that the grade of this dish is not low, and there is also a palace maid service, which is simply an emperor-like enjoyment!" Although it was the first time to go to such a high-end occasion, Zhang Chenxing was not stage frightened at all, and echoed.
opened the chatterbox, and the two chatted, and Ma Xilan occasionally interjected on the side, but the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.
It didn't take long for the waiter in palace clothes to bring in another man in his fifties who looked very energetic, and his facial contours were seven or eight points similar to Han Xuejun.
This is Han Xuejun's father, the head of the Organization Department of Sanqin Province, and one of the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee!
Zhang Chenxing doesn't know much about the rank in the officialdom, but since he is a provincial-level cadre, there are not many in the country, so he can naturally be regarded as a big man!
"Yesterday, classmate Zhang saved my grandson bravely, and I still regret that I couldn't thank it in person, I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon!" As soon as he entered the room, Han Wenyou walked quickly to Zhang Chenxing, held his hand and said enthusiastically: "I won't say too many polite words, if there is anything that needs help in the future, as long as it does not violate discipline, I will definitely give convenience!"
If a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee can say such a thing, the weight is extremely heavy, and there is a huge amount of energy hidden in it.
"Minister Han is really polite, the effort is not enough to worry about, and Secretary Han also did me a favor today, and I have to express my gratitude when I say it. Zhang Chenxing said with a smile.
"Oh, what's going on, I don't think I heard about it yet. Han Wenyou sat down with a smile and looked at his son.
Seeing his father asking himself with his eyes, Han Xuejun told him what happened before.
After hearing this, Han Wenyou sighed: "Our government has been smeared by such scum! The higher-ups sent me here to be the head of the organization department just to get rid of these scum, and now it seems that our work is still very inadequate!"
As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine, stood up and said to Zhang Chenxing: "As the head of the organization, I am also responsible for today's matter, so I will punish myself with this glass of wine, and I hope that Zhang will not be disappointed in our government." ”
Seeing that an elder on the other side who was older than his father was going to be punished for drinking, Zhang Chenxing hurriedly stretched out a hand to press the other party's wrist, and said with a smile: "Minister Han is serious, people are always good and bad, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to blame yourself too much for other people's mistakes." You are an elder, I will toast you first, I wish you good health!"
Pressing Han Wenyou's wrist with one hand, Zhang Chenxing poured himself a glass of wine with the other hand, and then touched a glass with Han Wenyou.
This series of actions seemed simple, and even Han Xuejun and Ma Xilan next to him didn't see anything abnormal, but Han Wenyou set off a storm in his heart.
When Han Wenyou was young, he met an old boxer in the park, and practiced boxing with the other party for three years, and then the old boxer didn't know if he moved or what, and suddenly disappeared.
Although he has been busy with official duties for so many years, he still insists on practicing boxing every day, which can be regarded as a little famous for him, and his hands and feet can emit dark energy.
When Zhang Chenxing held down his wrist, Han Wenyou was still ready to break free with all his strength, who knew that after trying several techniques in a row, and even using the dark energy, Zhang Chenxing's hand was actually not moving! Not only that, when he was exerting his strength, Zhang Chenxing could even pour the wine casually, and that relaxed action was simply ignoring his own struggle!
With Han Wenyou's realm, he couldn't even imagine what kind of realm he could cultivate his kung fu to achieve such a weightlifting degree, and Zhang Chenxing was instantly labeled as unfathomable.
"I'll do it first for respect!" After touching the cup, Zhang Chenxing drank it all as soon as he craned his neck.
"It's a good first to do it, I really met a master today!" Han Wenyou also drank it very happily, and then ordered Han Xuejun: "Call Mao Yongqiang, wait for nothing else, let him come and sit down, just say that I want to introduce a master to him!"
Han Xuejun on the side was still very strange, and he didn't know why his old man suddenly brought the topic to kung fu. However, he was not slow at all, and immediately called Mao Yongqiang and received a positive answer.
Director Mao said that the matter would be dealt with immediately, and he had no arrangements, and he would arrive in a while. After hanging up the phone, Han Xuejun reported the results of the call.
Zhang Chenxing already had a great kindness to his family, but at this time, he found that he was still an unfathomable master, and Han Wenyou became more and more enthusiastic about him.
For a while, everyone came to chopsticks, pushed cups and changed lamps, and a scene of joy for guests and hosts.
The dishes of this Tang Dynasty court banquet are not only very distinctive, but also taste very good, Zhang Chenxing is so big and it is the first time to eat such a delicious thing, so he has a great appetite and eats very happily.
About half an hour or so, the waiter attracted another guest, who was Director Mao of the City Bureau!
Mao Yongqiang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has a strong interest in it, coupled with the needs of his later work, he has been practicing diligently. Therefore, when I heard on the phone, Minister Han wanted to introduce him to a master, so he immediately agreed.
That is to say, if Han Xuejun just said that he would invite him to a banquet in the Tang Dynasty, Mao Yongqiang would definitely not come. Sitting in his position, there are many small things that have to be considered more, after all, it is difficult to return the favor, and if you want to have no desire, you will be just, this kind of wine and meat affection can he not touch.
Who knew that as soon as I entered the private room, I saw that Minister Han's family was sitting inside, but there was a young man who looked like a student sitting on the main seat!
Of course this young man Mao Yongqiang knows, isn't he the victim in the case he just handled, why is he now transformed into a guest of Minister Han?
Although Mao Yongqiang is a little unkind, this is not to say that he has no political vision, he knows very well what kind of identity is needed to sit in front of Han Wenyou.
The moment he entered the door, Mao Yongqiang had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but the truth of the matter was far from what he imagined, and it was even a little ridiculous to say. As an otaku, Zhang Chenxing has basically never been to this kind of entertainment occasion, and he has not studied the number of guests and hosts. So as soon as Han Xuejun let go of the door when he entered, Zhang Chenxing also sat on the main seat, and he didn't realize it at all.
What makes Mao Yongqiang strange is that he didn't say that he introduced the master, where is the master?
"Yongqiang is here, sit. Han Wenyou pointed to the position next to him and said.
"Minister Han is also here. Mao Yongqiang nodded, and then sat down next to Han Wenyou.
"Hehe, I don't need to introduce this one, you've seen it before. Putting down the chopsticks, Han Wenyou pointed at Zhang Chenxing and said.
"I've seen, I've seen, a top student of Xijing Jiaotong University, a twenty-two-year-old doctor, can be regarded as a genius boy!" Mao Yongqiang said with a smile.
"Yongqiang, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" Speaking of this, Han Wenyou paused, quite a bit of a sellout.
"Here, this young man is really a person with a big background! If you can let Minister Han accompany you in the guest seat, then there are only characters from the capital!" Thinking of this, Mao Yongqiang secretly had a headache. Usually handling cases, what he is most afraid of is those fools, he has no other skills, he has a lot of ability to cause trouble, and often involves a bunch of government officials, which is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
But Han Wenyou's words changed sharply, and what he said surprised him very much: "Classmate Zhang is not only knowledgeable, but also a martial arts master! If I say something you may not believe, with your two moves and three-legged cat kung fu, classmate Zhang can beat you down if you sit there and don't move!"
"What? Brother Han said just now that the martial arts master, could it be him!" Mao Yongqiang stood up with a pout, pointed at Zhang Chenxing and asked in disbelief.
"Why, don't you believe me? Han Wenyou suddenly became stubborn, wanting to see the ugly appearance of Director Mao, who has always been unsmiling, and said teasingly.
"Minister Han said so, I really want to try, I don't know if this classmate Zhang will give this face?"
Zhang Chenxing only met Yi Fanrou this morning, and he also wanted to understand the depth of today's martial arts people, so he said with a smile: "It's okay to take a hand, but I haven't learned deeply, if I lose my hand, please don't laugh at Director Mao." ”
"Then we'll take a hand. With that, Mao Yongqiang stood up and walked towards Zhang Chenxing.
Seeing this, Zhang Chenxing was also about to stand up, but was held down by Han Wenyou: "Eh, classmate Zhang, don't be modest, just sit here." ”
Mao Yongqiang stretched out his hand, and Zhang Chenxing also stretched out a hand and touched Mao Yongqiang's wrist.
