Lei Xiangdong saw that everyone's attention was focused on the banquet table, so he nodded to the director of his financial training center, signaling that she could serve the food.

The female director stood up elegantly, walked to the door, under the gaze of everyone, picked up a remote control, and gently pressed a few buttons on it, the crystal chandelier above the banquet table went out, only the surrounding ring projection light will shine all the light on the banquet table, the soft light creates a misty and fantastic visual effect, making people feel that the flowers are surrounded by a hundred birds and phoenixes, like a magical treasure box in the fairy tale world, will instantly change a different scenery and scene.

In the puzzled eyes and eyes of everyone, the incredible thing happened in front of them, the banquet table full of various modeling dishes, slowly sinking from the middle, everyone did not have time to exclaim and react, the beautiful and abnormal scenery just now was gone, only the big ring belt was left in front of everyone's eyes, on which were placed their own cups, plates, bowls, saucers, and a few appetizing side dishes in the tray.

The instantaneous change caught people off guard, and before they could react, the spotlights thrown at the banquet table slowly changed direction, forming a lamppost like a cross and changing, diverting everyone's attention, and then it actually dimmed. When the spotlight and crystal chandelier were shining at the same time, and focused on the banquet table again, everyone's eyes subconsciously moved to the banquet table with the light, and the hanging doubts were suddenly captured by the changes in front of them, and only the exclamations and sighs that seemed to be able to express the feelings of everyone at this moment.

Just now, it was still dazzling, and the birds and phoenixes surrounded by melons, fruits and vegetables in the shape of cold dishes are now transformed into colorful dishes that exude a strong fragrance and steaming heat like a trick, presented in front of everyone. The instantaneous change of lights is like a magic trick that has undergone such a huge change, except for exclamations and sighs, I really don't know what else can express the mood of everyone at this moment.

Lei Xiangdong got great satisfaction from the change in everyone's expressions, and was proud of having such a sudden episode, looked around at everyone with proud eyes, and said humbly with a smile: "Carving insect skills, tricky tricks, chatting with everyone is just laughing, it's not worth boasting, or try my carefully prepared northwest banquet, isn't it authentic!" ”

"I'm a mother, is this a feast? Isn't this just a magic show? If it is paired with background music, the cheerful is the harvest and joyful, and the low and gloomy is the Magic Shadow fantasy film, which can be performed for a fee. Huang Heyuan was indeed shocked by everything in front of him, he didn't expect Lei Xiangdong here, in addition to the spacious and luxurious banquet hall, the exquisite and elegant decoration and functional furnishings, and such an exquisite arrangement, it was simply an eye-opener, and he secretly admired the incredible, so he did not hide his feelings at all, and sighed heartily after exclaiming: "As the old saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and now it seems that seeing may not be believing, and the changes under my nose are really incredible." ”

Huang Heyuan's surprise made Lei Xiangdong even more proud, and he said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to praise the excitement of the props, let's try the dishes!" Don't make a joke about buying and returning the pearls at that time, this foreign appearance will be big. ”

Lei Xiangdong's words seemed to remind Huang Heyuan, making him immediately restrain some exaggerated expressions, and looked at the dishes on the banquet table seriously, but soon shook his head and said embarrassedly: "To say that I was born in the northwest and grew up in the northwest, but the children who were born in poor families are really clumsy, these northwest dishes of yours, except for elbows and pigs, I really don't know much, although some of them have been eaten, they are really not famous." ”

"Listening to your brother's tone, is it saying that the northwest cuisine produced by my river and sea is not authentic enough, I can invite the chef up and let him introduce it to you." Lei Xiangdong smiled, waved his hand to stop Huang Heyuan's intention to explain, and gestured to the director of the financial training center, and then continued with a smile: "It's not that I'm serious, the key is that I have occasionally eaten some of these Northwest dishes, but they are presented in such a concentrated manner, and I can't name many dishes, so I still have to ask the chef to come and explain it in person, so I can explain it clearly." It can not only make up for my loneliness, but also let Lao Huang also have a long insight.

Lei Xiangdong said, saw the chef in a tall hat and white coat who came in from the side door, slowly got up and walked over, took the chef's hand affectionately, and introduced to everyone with a smile: "Ma Wanxing, a national special chef, is good at cooking in northern cuisines such as Shandong, Henan, Beijing, and Hebei, specializing in northwest cuisine. As a professional chef of national leaders, the chef has received many heads of state, and has served the country for a long time, as the chef of the Northwest delegation, serving the representatives of the northwest provinces and regions, and is well-known in the northwest, it can be said that he is a genuine master of northwest cuisine. ”

After introducing the chef, Lei Xiangdong turned to Ma Wanxing, smiled slightly and said: "Please tell the leaders about your northwest cuisine, don't say it too complicated, scare the leaders, just be concise." ”

Under the instruction and encouragement of Lei Xiangdong, Ma Wanxing took the remote control handed over by the director of the training center, walked to Huang Heyuan's side with a simple smile, and said with a little nervousness: "I am good at cooking, I am still a little nervous about introducing dishes, and I ask for forgiveness if I can't say anything." ”

Ma Wanxing spoke, pressed the remote control in his hand, made the three layers of the banquet table slowly rotate, and slowly showed the dishes to the guests sitting around the banquet table to enjoy, so after a big turn, he stopped, cleared his throat and said calmly: "Today's guests from the northwest came, President Lei asked me to prepare a few good northwest dishes to entertain distinguished guests, the time is relatively rushed, and the cuisines of the northwest provinces and regions are more complicated, so I chose a few more distinctive northwest dishes to dedicate to you." Mainly four cold and four hot, four snacks, two soups, plus a pasta, take an odd number plus guests, form four forty-six, two gossip numbers, corresponding to yin and yang full hexagrams, but also a good omen. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the dishes. ”

Ma Wanxing won a full house when he opened his speech, not only his dignified posture and calm expression, but also the implication of the Taoist Yin and Yang Bagua Theory, which made everyone in the banquet hall secretly admire and look at each other, which immediately aroused everyone's appreciation and applause, expressing everyone's mood at this moment.

Ma Wanxing smiled slightly, pressed the remote control again, turned the dishes one by one to Huang Heyuan and Qi Tianxiang and stopped, and slowly explained: "After years of development and evolution, the Northwest cuisine has formed several typical types of 'Yamen cuisine', 'Shangjia cuisine' and 'market cuisine' or 'folk cuisine'. I focused on a few typical dishes in Yamen cuisine, which were collected into 'Bringing a Handle to a Dish of Elbows', 'Chrysanthemum Dengke Hot Pot', 'Bergamot Sealing Shark's Fin', 'Four Seasons Money Hair Vegetables', as well as Shangjia Cuisine's 'Twilight Chop Head Spring', 'Autumn Thick Gourd Fragrant Chicken', 'Winter Warm Fragrant Roasted Ru Pig' and 'Guyan Hexi Lamb' four dishes, as well as 'Wanzai Cordyceps Ru Pigeon', 'Baihua Jade Sheep Mushroom', 'Heyuan Cold and Colorful Frozen Fish', 'Honey Juice Hundred Years of Good Combination', plus 'Bitter Buckwheat Taro and Taro', ' 'Sweet mashed potatoes' and 'Niangniang's hot noodles' are combined into a harmonious picture integrating government, business and people, please taste it. ”

"Food culture is broad and profound, I used to believe, but I can't touch the size, I think it's just the propaganda of the business, or the hype, at least not so godly chatter, three full a day and one poured, if food is an important part of cultural inheritance, then sleeping is not just as simple as recuperating energy, but also should be given more meaning or spiritual meaning in it." Huang Heyuan looked at everyone with emotion, then stood up and turned to Ma Wanxing and said excitedly: "Now that I have listened to your introduction, I know that I am indeed lonely, this table of dishes is not only a cultural boutique, but also a perfect combination of art and life, in order to express my gratitude, can I invite you to a glass of wine?" ”

Ma Wanxing turned his head and glanced at Lei Xiangdong, and after getting his approval, he turned around and took the wine glass handed by the waiter, raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "I don't have a word of respect, I will do it first, and the leader will ask for it." ”

"This is not a matter of please, I still have something to ask you, let's do it!" Huang Heyuan gently stretched out his hand to stop Ma Wanxing's action, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said slowly: "After this cup, you still have to explain to me how to make these dishes, I will also learn, go back and go back to sell the pie with their old hats." ”

Ma Wanxing respectfully touched the glass with Huang Heyuan, drank all the wine in the cup, and then said to Huang Heyuan respectfully, and also to everyone: "Please eat first, while tasting, listen to me talk about the origin of the dishes and workmanship skills, so it's not fun." ”

"What Master Ma said is reasonable, let's talk while eating!" Lei Xiangdong was very satisfied with Ma Wanxing's humility, and was even more pleased with his proposal, so he raised his glass and proposed: "Let's make this cup together, and then taste the Northwest cuisine." ”

At Lei Xiangdong's suggestion, everyone raised their glasses and toasted the wine, and began to taste the dishes on the plate at random on the slowly rotating banquet table. Just like the transformation of the banquet table makes everyone marvel and appreciate, they are used to eating dishes with strong local flavors in the river and sea, and when they eat dishes with northwest flavors, especially the rich fragrance, they suddenly feel very different, not only a burst of praise and praise.

Watching everyone taste the dishes with relish, Lei Xiangdong was very satisfied and excited, feeling that Huang Heyuan was not disappointed, especially not letting Qi Tianxiang's plan fall through, and he couldn't help but jokingly instructed Ma Wanxing while being happy: "You just pick up a few special dishes and tell ** Ji, don't say too much, let alone say too profound, otherwise he can't remember, and it's useless to say." ”
