Tan Jiacai opened in the BJ restaurant on Chang'an Avenue opposite the bookstore, less than 200 meters away, and everyone didn't drive, but walked over as a car.

Walking into the BJ Hotel, take the elevator straight up to the seventh floor, as soon as the elevator door opens, the three gilded signboards of "Tan Family Cuisine" hanging on the pillar will be impressive.

Wang Bo, his two female companions Zheng Yan and Jiang Xiaorou, Hu Maolin and Zhang Qiong on the publishing house's side, Zhang Qiong is also Wang Bo's editor, Hu Maolin's lover// person, and the host Cao Zeming and his secretary in his twenties named Fan Ruling, but in Wang Bo's eyes, 99% may also be lovers, the role of the junior, a group of seven people, wearing cheongsam at the door, under the guidance of the reception with a good face, entered the magnificent, legendary Tan family restaurant.

Wang Bo, who came to Tanjia cuisine for the first time, looked curiously while walking, and found that the restaurant was antique, carved beams and paintings, the ground was covered with thick carpets, and there were many bright yellow and red tones in the restaurant, obviously trying to create an atmosphere of the royal court, but from the perspective of Wang Bo's aesthetic vision after more than ten years of habituation, this decoration and decoration were also not Chinese or foreign, a little old-fashioned, although magnificent, but some corners, but also looked a little old.

Everyone was ushered into a private room for ten people to sit down, and then a waiter brought the menu and handed it to Cao Zeming. Cao Zeming opened the menu and began to order, but this time he didn't politely take the menu to him, the guest, like Hu Maolin last night. Wang Bo thought about it without the heart of a villain, probably because he was afraid that he would not know the details of the Tan family's dishes, so he would order a table of tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That's embarrassing.

Having said that, when Cao Zeming ordered, he still asked Wang Bo, Hu Maolin and others from time to time, asking everyone's preferences and taboos. Wang Bo still said that he has no taboos in eating, but he doesn't know anything about the Tan family's cuisine, and he doesn't bother the two masters, so he lets Cao Zeming do it for him. Others said the same thing, and they all let Cao Ze work on his behalf.

"Then brother, I'll order casually!" Cao Zeming said with a smile and began to order.

During Cao Zeming's order, Hu Maolin talked to Wang Bo on the side, and also told several female companions about the origin and allusions of Tan's cuisine, saying that this "Tan's cuisine" was created by Hanlin surnamed Tan, who was the only high school leader in Chinese history at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and has been passed down for three generations. The people who come here to eat are usually either rich or expensive, and many state banquets, including the reception of foreign guests by state leaders, are here, and several women, including Wang Bo, are all looking like they are relishing. Wang Bo watched YY in his last life and listened to those authors YY over Tan's dishes, but they were basically hearsay, and they couldn't be taken seriously, but now when I listen to Hu Maolin, an old BJ person, I feel naturally different. His expectation of this legendary Tan family dish deepened again.

Cao Zeming quickly finished ordering the dishes, and then added to the supplementary explanation of the historical allusions of the Tan family's cuisine.

“…… Beijing has always been the best district, with a gathering of humanities and historical figures from all walks of life, whether it is political, military, financial, film and television circles, there are countless hot celebrities. However, 'the taste has the same taste', and everyone wants to try Tan's cuisine. The first time I ate well, the second time I want to come. Therefore, the business of Tan Jiacai has never been light. Outsiders should also try their best to eat Tan's food as fast as possible. There is a condition for eating Tan family food, regardless of whether the diner and the Tan family know each other, they must set up an extra seat for the host, and the host always has to come to taste a few bites, in this form, to say, 'I am not a restaurant here'. Lao Hu also said just now that the founder of this Tan family cuisine is a Bangyan Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, a scholar of Hanlin University in the Hanlin Academy, and his identity and status are not ordinary. Even if later generations open restaurants, remembering the glory of their ancestors, they must distinguish their own homes from ordinary restaurants. ”

After everyone chatted about Tan's food for about 20 minutes, the waiter began to serve the food. The first dish is the signature dish of Tan family cuisine, "Buddha jumping over the wall", a round small brown porcelain cup like Maitreya Buddha, which contains a bowl of golden sticky soup. He scooped a spoonful with a white porcelain spoon into his mouth, the taste was extremely fresh, it looked wet and heavy, but to say how special it was, it was not necessarily, some flavor types were similar to Lu cuisine, and the processing of the ingredients themselves brought out the original flavor of the ingredients.

After the Buddha jumped over the wall, there was a "bright future" platter, with beef, shutters and shrimp. The presentation was exquisite, but the portion was not much, and Wang Bo felt that he had thrown up his cheeks and could chew it in one bite. He took a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and felt that although it tasted, it still seemed too light for him, a heavy taste that was not spicy or happy.

Although the table of Tanjia cuisine is a large Chinese-style round table, when eating, it is a separate meal system, and one plate is eaten and then the other plate is served. The waiter next to him was very thoughtful and attentive, and would change the plate and change the lamp diligently, but he didn't have any smile, a male waiter who served the food, and even always had a cold face and no expression, as if someone owed him 1,800. Wang Bo was a little unhappy at first, feeling that these waiters were a little lacking in training, sorry for this kind of lofty occasion, and then when these waiters left the scene after serving, he listened to Cao Zeming's low explanation, and he was relieved:

It turns out that they are all accustomed to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles, waiters for state leaders and foreign guests! The seven officials in front of the prime minister's door can serve them, and it is not bad if they don't put a bad face on them.

The corners of Wang Bo's mouth hooked, and he shook his head, but he thought of the Tan family's cuisine, which was high above and did not enter ordinary people's homes, more than ten years later, with the in-depth anti-corruption of the central government, eating and drinking were strictly prohibited, and after his own business plummeted, he had to go with the flow, lower his price, and join the army of takeaway and group buying. If these waiters knew that Tan Jiacai also had a day of takeout and group buying, I am afraid that they would reduce their arrogance now and give them a little more smile, right?

After that, Wang Bo tasted a hot fish lip, the abalone stewed hot, and the taste was also delicious.

A delicious cowboy tenderloin, flavored with tomato juice, tastes quite Western food, but there seems to be more gluten in it, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.

There is also a Kung Pao shrimp ball, imitating the classic Sichuan cuisine of Kung Pao chicken, spicy and fragrant, the taste is elastic, and the sweetness is just right, which is quite in line with Wang Bo's taste.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the topics were mainly about catering and interesting stories in the literary world. In Shuangqing, at the dinner in Rongcheng, Wang Bo usually has the most words, because he wants to maintain the lively atmosphere of the scene, so it is inevitable that there will be some gags.

Now, as a guest, you can't declare war and take the lord. Wang Bo reduced his speech, and mostly listened to Hu Maolin and Cao Zeming, two old BJs, bragging and farting, and only occasionally echoed a few sentences.

During the chat, he also observed and looked at the internal environment of the Tan family cuisine from time to time, and found that in addition to the atmospheric decoration and luxurious decoration, even the cups, plates and dishes serving the dishes were also quite exquisite and elegant. Many cups and saucers are inlaid with gold and jade (gilded and imitation jade), which looks magnificent and rich, and is one of the most elaborate cups, plates and utensils among the countless restaurants he has entered in his two lifetimes.

In terms of Wang Bo's experience in eating in his two lifetimes, the more he pays attention to the environment, the more he cares about the cups, plates and utensils, and the more colorful the style of the dishes is, the more flashy the content that really eats in his mouth. Today's Tan family cuisine, although it can't be said to be flashy, but in terms of price, the taste and amount corresponding to the price, including the quality of service, it is also a little too far off, and it is not worth the price at all.

Of course, it's hard to buy a heart. Chang'an Street, BJ Restaurant, Tanjia Cuisine, State Banquet, Foreign Guests, just a combination of these words, for some pretending to be // forced elements, it is worth that price! As for what to really eat, whether it is delicious or not, it is secondary, the most important thing is to have a bright face!

However, for Wang Bo, a person who only pays attention to taste, doesn't care much about the environment, and is also a little cost-effective, he will never pay for this kind of place to be slaughtered.

Nima, after being slaughtered, he doesn't give people a smile, what kind of world!
