Leaving the Xicheng District Government compound, Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang's grim expression, knowing that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother him, let alone speak. [Ran^Text^Library] []

After returning to the underground parking lot of the municipal party committee, after getting out of the car, to see that there were no outsiders around, Lu Shanzun deliberately bumped Qi Tianxiang's shoulder, and teased in a low voice: "Okay, don't hold it, are you tired!" It's been a day, it's this time, people don't care about food, you have to express it! ”

Lu Shanzun's movements and funny eyes made Qi Tianxiang laugh involuntarily, squinted at him dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "You've been serving it for a day, and you don't allow me to serve it for a while." ”

Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said slowly: "It's not that I deliberately want to make a face, it's just that it's a little difficult to accept this kind of fortunate climbing, and I'm a little worried about the initialing of the agreement at such a fast speed for such a big investment project." ”

"Alright, alright, it's time to get off work, can you think about something after work?" Lu Shanzun seemed to glance at Qi Tianxiang with some impatience, and said jokingly: "Isn't it good to think of something happy, something happy?" ”

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Lu Shanzun, and muttered ill-intentionedly, "I want to do the happiest thing now, that is, what can you invite me to eat?" What to drink? It's just that I don't know if I can achieve it, sometimes I think well is not necessarily good, I can still achieve it if I think well, that's really good, the old saying is not that 'I have a pillow when I am sleepy, I want to eat food and look forward to clothes', that is called really beautiful! ”

"That's called stinky beauty, it's not what you think, it's the world that makes people!" Lu Shanzun knew that he had fallen into the trap designed by Qi Tianxiang again if he was not careful, so he had to pretend to be dissatisfied and said, "If you just stand here and think, there will be no result tomorrow morning." What do you want to eat, though. ”

"It doesn't matter what you want to eat, it's important what people want to eat, this is the distance between dreams and reality, if you want to make dreams shine into reality, in addition to real efforts, waiting is also a realm." Qi Tianxiang smiled and said, "I just don't know if the fragment of "The Beauty of Waiting" in my memory is accurate? Can you earn a drink as you wish? ”

Hearing Qi Tianxiang mention the passage in his article again, Lu Shanzun was so impressed that he had to raise his hand to forgive, and then said: "I can't talk about you, so I have to ask you for a drink." I know a small restaurant, the environment and the food are reasonable, but I don't know if Secretary Qi is willing to deign? ”

"As long as you can be satisfied, there is no choice among them, just go." Qi Tianxiang walked out of the elevator as he spoke, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and urged Lu Shanzun to say, "Let's go!" If you can't speak, it's not a word! ”

Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang's somewhat childlike naughty demeanor, walked a few steps with a smile, and then beckoned to his secretary Xiao Liu and said: "Let's have a treat today, you are responsible for finding a place to invite Secretary Zhang and Xiao Wang to have a good meal, don't be reluctant to spend money, everything is mine." ”

Xiao Liu nodded and agreed, but before he could speak, Xiao Wang, who had been standing next to him and had never spoken, took a few steps forward, stopped Qi Tianxiang and Lu Shanzun, and said seriously: "I want to go with Secretary Qi." ”

"I'll go too." Xiao Zhang also seriously expressed his attitude, "At this time, Secretary Qi's safety cannot be careless. ”

"I'm a big guy and three thick, I can't protect Secretary Qi." Lu Shanzun looked at Xiao Wang in puzzlement, and then looked at Xiao Zhang, knowing that Xiao Wang was not only Qi Tianxiang's driver, but also had more security duties, but he still said unwillingly: "Secretary Qi follows me, you can rest assured!" Ensure that Secretary Qi will arrive home safely. ”

"Forget it! You don't know who will protect your own security? Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang's performance, so he relieved them and said: "It seems that you have to spend a little more, a sheep is also released, and a group of sheep is also driven, why not invite them generously." ”

"Okay, the secretary speaks, and I'll do it." Lu Shan Zunxiang pretended to sigh reluctantly and said to Xiao Liu: "You are responsible for greeting Secretary Zhang and Xiao Wang, you must entertain them." ”

As Lu Shanzun spoke, he knew that the right to go out and take a taxi was naturally gone, so he smiled and motioned for Qi Tianxiang to get into his car, turned around and walked towards his car.

True to its name, the tavern is hidden deep in the greenery of a family area, far from the main road and hidden in the dense greenery, which makes it difficult to attract the attention of outsiders, and there are three small square tables in a small room, and although it is the peak time for dinner, there is only one table behind which the guests are seated.

As soon as Lu Shanzun entered the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly stood up, greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Lu is here, you haven't been here for a few days, today is still a dish, half a catty of old white dry?" ”

"Invite a friend to chat for a while today, and have a big portion." Lu Shanzun smiled at the boss and said, "There's no one in the small private room!" Let's go inside and sit down for a while. ”

"No one, a few friends just finished eating and leaving, you wait, I'll clean it up for you." As he spoke, he invited Lu Shanzun and Qi Tianxiang to sit at an empty table, quickly brought two teacups and an enamel teapot, and put the two cups of water in front of the two respectively, and said to Qi Tianxiang politely: "Since you are Brother Lu's friend, don't be polite, coming here is like going to your own home." ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded with a slight smile to express his gratitude, and looked at the tavern with the back of the shopkeeper leaving. When he first came in, he was still wondering, how could Lu Shanzun bring him to this place, but now that he looks closely, he is really secretly surprised.

The tavern is not large, apparently a converted house, the hall is not large, only the size of a large living room, three small tables are placed along the wall on one side of the two and one on the other, and the place where the table should be placed is a door, leading to the inner room, and there is only a walking distance left in the middle. At the top of the room against the wall, there is a small door, and the boss walks in, probably the so-called small private room.

The four walls of the dining room are full of calligraphy and paintings, and they are stacked up and down several columns, it seems that it is not just for display, but it looks like a shop that sells calligraphy and paintings, but I don't want to, many calligraphy and paintings are not framed, and there are not even inscriptions and inscriptions, and the paper is very new, obviously more like a practice or personal work display. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings from a distance, it further confirms Qi Tianxiang's judgment, calligraphy and painting are obviously from the hands of one person, and the skills are extraordinary, but they are far from reaching the master realm of the high mountains, but it is precisely because of this that they look simple and real, and they also reveal some cordiality.

Qi Tianxiang slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Shanzun with a smile, but what he saw was Lu Shanzun's unfathomable smile, without explanation, let alone speaking, and stretched out his hand to signal Qi Tianxiang to taste the tea in front of him.

Qi Tianxiang knew that Lu Shanzun was selling something to him, and he was also showing something, so he smiled and picked up the teacup suspiciously, and before he entered his mouth, he smelled a faint, slightly sweet taste, and took a shallow sip, a trace of light floral fragrance echoed in his mouth, and slowly went down the throat into his heart.

"Gardenia tea?" Qi Tianxiang exclaimed in surprise, in our northern region, it is rare to be able to drink such an elegant gardenia tea, and also add mixed nectar, which not only moistens the lungs, but also reduces dryness. "This brother seems to be a gentleman, and it is rare to taste this tea in one sip." The shopkeeper did not hide his surprise and joy, and said approvingly to Lu Shanzun: "Brother Lu's friends are all masters!" ”

As the shopkeeper spoke, he stretched out his hand to invite Qi Tianxiang and Lu Shanzun to go to the private room, and said proudly: "All those who can come are friends, I hope the two brothers are happy." ”

Looking at the shopkeeper turning away, Qi Tianxiang looked around at the private room, saying that it was a small private room, but it was not much smaller than the outside, not only rattan chairs, coffee tables, but also Bogu shelves and screens, separating a room into two areas for eating and leisure, the coffee table was placed on the Go board, as well as two rattan chess boxes, there were still a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, but compared with the outside, they were all framed, and they were also much more exquisite.

Seeing Qi Tianxiang enter the door is to keep looking around, and walking to the wall to carefully appreciate the calligraphy and painting, Lu Shanzun just smiled slightly, waited patiently, until Qi Tianxiang was happy, and then said slowly: "Sit!" I can't get enough of it. ”

"This boss is not an ordinary person, elegant and fine, it seems that the taste is not low!" Qi Tianxiang admired sincerely, then looked at Lu Shanzun, and said jokingly: "But Brother Lu's taste is also outstanding, of course Yashi has entered and exited Jingtang Yayuan." ”

"I don't dare to say it, but this boss is really an unworldly master, and his life and habits are still like a hermit." Waiting for Qi Tianxiang to come over slowly and slowly sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, Lu Shanzun sighed and said: "When you sell wine but are not fascinated by the smell of copper, and the tavern makes a living but is not burdened by business, your realm and ambition are extraordinary!" ”

"This boss's surname is Liu, he used to be a soldier in **, and after changing jobs, he went to Hezhou City Machine Tool Factory, and later suffered a work injury and did labor insurance, and his lover was also an employee of the machine tool factory. Lu Shanzun introduced with emotion: "Since the house is neither facing the street nor the road, but this family home is relatively close to the door, the business is always average, tepid, but this old man is still weak, he does it if he has business, and he loves Danqing if he has no business, neither deliberately soliciting business, nor being arrogant and arrogant." ”

"What's even more amazing is that this tavern is called 'own home' tavern, the specialty is a dish, and you never know what to eat, there is no menu, there are no bells and whistles, and you don't accept a la carte, it's all arranged by the boss himself. Today's sea fish is fresh, it may be sea fish, tomorrow the ribs are good, it may be ribs, it may also be sea cucumber, abalone, Jiwei shrimp and other excellent dishes, it all depends on the ingredients when purchasing in the morning, and there is the mood of the boss, and the limited, only ten copies at noon and night every day, sold out and closed. If you can't sell out, it's only until eight o'clock in the evening, and if you can't sell out, you will be dumped. Lu Shanzun said with interest: "And what's even more amazing is that the dishes have no price, after eating, you can give as much as you think the meal is worth, and when you leave, you can put it in the box at the door, it doesn't matter if you give it or not." ”

"This is a bit interesting, it's simple, casual, and the realm is naturally good." Lu Shanzun's introduction made Qi Tianxiang's interest sharply, and he said with emotion: "In fact, three meals a day are done at will, and what can be eaten is just a little, Zhou Zhang is all looking at it, and it has no practical significance." ”

Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang's surprised expression, and continued proudly: "Saying that it is a dish, in fact, it is only a main dish, and there are two to four side dishes for fewer people, and six to eight for more people. This is very similar to the configuration of Korean food, eating barbecue with spicy cabbage, potato balls, pickled cucumbers and other greasy and digestive side dishes, he is the same here, there are a variety of side dishes, all fresh fruits and vegetables, so that you can't imagine it. ”

"If you want to say that he is making do, it is a big mistake, Boss Liu has a family heritage, the last two generations are famous chefs, and there is still a younger brother who is the executive chef of the hotel, he also followed his grandfather and father to learn seriously, and he has a lot of experience." Lu Shanzun introduced with great interest: "The main dish is not willing to make do, according to the ingredients and seasonal changes, concentrate on making a dish well, so that the guests are satisfied, this is his original intention." ”

"It's already very good to do a good job, the time to do things is not long, cross-border or compatible, it will only make the mind lost, and nothing can be brought, such a fool is better not to believe." Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Lu Shanzun's words, nodded and said: "After you say this, it seems that Boss Liu has understood the samadhi of life, doing business is to live, but living is not only for business, but also for other pursuits, such as calligraphy and painting, such as reading, and even making friends and traveling, can become a part of life, not just tired by money and trapped by survival." ”

"It's the truth that you can see the whole leopard at a glance, but it's a pity that many of us haven't really reached this realm, or reached this level." Qi Tianxiang seemed to be interested, looked at Lu Shanzun and continued: "This is not just a matter of personal belief, but more of a matter of guidance and public opinion guidance, living is to struggle, to compete, or in short, to succeed, it seems that success has become the ultimate goal of life." The criterion for testing success is surprisingly simple, that is, wealth and money, power and status, with these you have everything, you will always stand on the high point of history, and you can be immortal. Is it really that simple? Is that all the purpose of being alive? ”

"That's right! These utilitarian views and successologies have not only misled thousands of young people, but also made the whole society snobbish and selfish. Lu Shanzun followed Qi Tianxiang's words, and said while thinking: "According to these standards, there is only one businessman who can be regarded as a successful businessman, Li Ka-shing, except for the central leaders, no one else can be regarded as successful, and looking at the depths of history, Confucius is just a teacher, Lao Tzu is just a librarian, Nobel is a madman, Archimedes is a visionary, and Newton is just an idler lying under a tree waiting for the apple to fall, because these people have not reached the level of power and power, and wealth rivals the country." ”

"You're right, the so-called principle of giving up, that's it, giving up first can get later, this is a simple truth, but in real life it has become difficult, like Boss Liu's approach, many people will think it is incredible, and it can even be associated with stupidity. has such a good family history and such good skills, why not cook a few more dishes, and then open a big restaurant, preferably listed or chained, to make more money, but I didn't think about how the plot should develop in the future. Qi Tianxiang smiled and said slowly: "What about after the rich rival country?" How should I live, according to secular standards, I should live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, go in and out of luxurious places, eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and travel all over the famous mountains and rivers. It seems that this is all there is to life, but I have not thought that after all this prosperity, what is needed is a quiet life, a harmonious gathering of family, a conversation with friends, and fishing by the lake, a break in the sun, or a study splashing ink. That's what life is all about, it's what life really is. Again, earning money is to live, but you can't just make money. ”

"This brother is right! You can't live just to make money. As he spoke, Boss Liu walked in with a tray and a smile, followed by a middle-aged woman, also holding a tray, and after coming in, he slowly brought the plates in the tray to the table one by one, and soon filled the table, and then said to Lu Shanzun with a smile: "Today's main dish is a family, and I have prepared a few side dishes for you and your friends, and you two are slowly using it, just say anything." ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled and watched Boss Liu turn around and leave, then he turned his face to look at the dishes on the table, only to see a soup basin, surrounded by a six-month-shaped plate, not to mention the color of the dishes, just to say that the soup pot and the crescent-shaped plate are placed, which gives people a pleasing feeling. At first glance, the soup basin and plate look like a rolling wheel, creating a spinning sensation. It is more like a blooming petal, the soup pot is a stamen, and the clustered plates are like bright petals. And what is even more strange is that the color combination is unique, green persimmon peppers, red tomatoes, yellow egg cakes, blue blueberries, pink snacks, and purple cabbage, the bright colors set off the black and white silent soup in the soup pot, and a blooming white fungus placed in the middle of the soup pot, showing the artistic conception of the stars and the moon, and the flowers have words. What you see in front of you seems to be very similar to the Gongbi flower picture in Chinese painting, the colors are bright and unassuming, and the flowers are clustered and not messy. It's really breathtaking, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but praise with emotion: "After eating for so many years, I now know that the artistic conception between the pots and plates, the contrast between the colors, will be so beautiful, no wonder you said that Boss Liu wants to specialize in a dish, and any more dish is a dog's tail mink, which has reached the extreme of perfection, I really don't know if I should destroy this beautiful artistic conception." ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang admiring intently for a long time, his eyes were full of surprise, excitement and incredulity, Lu Shanzun smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks on the table, carefully and gently picked up the white fungus in the soup pot, and motioned for Qi Tianxiang to watch.

At a glance, Qi Tianxiang stood up in surprise, only to see that the black and white colors of black and white turned slightly after the white fungus was clamped, and after a while, two spoons that bite each other were formed in the basin that used to be symmetrical in black and white, becoming a black and white two-color Taiji diagram. The change evolved in front of Qi Tianxiang's eyes, and Qi Tianxiang, who was only watching, was dumbfounded, and muttered: "Incredible, it's amazing, where is this eating, it's just watching the changes in the world, and life is cold and warm." ”

Qi Tianxiang's muttering made Lu Shanzun very excited, but he didn't seem to be satisfied with it, but picked up a small bottle on the table, poured some liquid into the soup basin, picked up a lighter and lit the liquid, and immediately a blue flame rose in the soup basin, and in the soaring flame, the soup basin continued to change, the black and white Taiji diagram was accelerating the fusion, as the flame gradually extinguished, what appeared in front of Qi Tianxiang's eyes was a milky white soup, several pearl-like crystals of different colors, count it is seven, And it is just right to form the shape of the Big Dipper.

Qi Tianxiang was amazed, he didn't say anything anymore, and looked at Lu Shanzun with puzzled eyes, as if he was looking for the answer on Lu Shanzun's face.

Lu Shanzun smiled slightly, met Qi Tianxiang's gaze, humbly stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, then picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, put down the wine jug, picked up a glass with both hands and handed it to Qi Tianxiang, picked up another cup casually, touched Qi Tianxiang gently, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and saw that Qi Tianxiang had also drunk all the wine in the cup, so he slowly picked up the wine jug and stood up, poured wine into Qi Tianxiang's cup, and then put down the wine jug, sat down slowly, and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was happy, He smiled mysteriously as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"I really admire your concentration, and the bearing of not being shocked when the landslide is ahead, when I saw these wonderful changes for the first time, I jumped up in amazement, and I couldn't believe my eyes." Lu Shanzun saw Qi Tianxiang calmly watching all his movements, his expression was always faintly smiling, and he said with admiration: "I also ate this dish for the second time, the last time I ate it should be a year ago, and not only the magic of this dish, but also a few dishes are also rare, but it is such an opportunity, and it is not possible to see it every time, because they are all dishes arranged by Boss Liu, no one knows what dishes can be eaten today and what kind of surprises they have." ”

As Lu Shanzun spoke, he picked up the wine glass and motioned for Qi Tianxiang to drink, and after drinking, he poured Qi Tianxiang's cup full of wine, and said with a smile: "Let's talk while eating!" I'll slowly explain these magic to you one by one, and I'm still hungry at this point. ”

"You've eaten this dish for a year, but you didn't bring me here until now to see it, you old man is not interesting enough!" Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun, and knew that he wouldn't say it if he asked him now, and he wasn't in a hurry to speak, but he still seemed to be a little complaining and said slowly: "This kind of encounter is not something that can be encountered every time, it seems that being able to feast your eyes is more important than food, and today is really worth the trip." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, lightly touched the wine glass with Lu Shanzun, drank the wine in the glass, and excitedly tasted the aroma of the wine, as well as the beauty he had just seen, and felt very comfortable in his heart.
