It wasn't until the medium-sized bus drove out of the compound of the Public Security Department for a long time that Qi Tianxiang smiled and said to a few people in the car: "Let's not eat the meal of the Provincial Public Security Department today, not to go home, but to let Director Yan spend a dollar or two, let's drink his progressive wine, and it can be regarded as a happy weekend." ”

Qi Tianxiang's incendiary ridicule immediately warmed up the atmosphere in the carriage, and after everyone echoed the gossip, Qi Tianxiang looked at Yan Yong and said jokingly: "Where are you going to take us to eat?" Don't tell us that the pot is down-to-earth, small fried chicken and other excuses, be generous, you can't eat a meal. ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang expose his old bottom, Yan Yong faced the eyes of several people in the car, his face was a little unnatural, looking at Qi Tianxiang, he also seemed to say frankly to everyone: "There are so many provincial leaders, I can't invite them, how can I fool around casually, it has to be a similar restaurant, a few decent dishes to serve!" ”

"Xiao Wang, you just follow my car." Yan Yong explained to Xiao Wang, who was driving, and then said to Qi Tianxiang in a curtled manner: "Please be patient, it will be there soon." ”

Yan Yong said quickly, in fact, it didn't take long for the lead car to turn into a courtyard and stop in front of a three-story building, and the medium-sized bus also stopped in front of the building.

A seemingly inconspicuous courtyard, a small building hidden in the tall trees, Qi Tianxiang got out of the car and observed carefully, seemed to have a little impression of this place, remembered that he seemed to have been here, but it was not easy to be sure when it was dark.

"Just bring us here for dinner? Can the Armed Police Training Center make a decent dish as you said? Zhang Wanfu counted Yan Yong dissatisfiedly as soon as he got out of the car, "You still don't say it's foolish, what is this?"

Just when Qi Tianxiang was puzzled, Zhang Wanfu gave him a hint with a little dissatisfaction, this is indeed the armed police training center, and when Tian Weiren's case was investigated, it was used as a place to handle cases, so he had some impressions. I was also secretly amazed by Yan Yong's meticulousness and carefulness, so I looked at Yan Yong quietly to see how he answered.

"It's not what it used to be, and the time you mentioned has long passed." Leaving the compound of the Public Security Department, Yan Yong's demeanor was much more natural, and he dared to talk to Zhang Wanfu poorly, "You have to look at the problem from the perspective of development, not only do people have big pot dishes here, but also small stir-fry is a bit level, and the portion is larger, isn't it just a big dish!" ”

Yan Yong still said to Zhang Wanfu unrelentingly: "Several provincial leaders are here, eating is never a trivial matter, and safety is sometimes more important than taste, don't you say?" ”

"It's still a set, you have a lot of reasons, when did Captain Yan, who only worked and didn't speak, become chatter." Zhang Wanfuxiang pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Yan Yong, and said with a good smile: "Why don't you lead the way, you can eat your big dish by standing in the yard?" ”

Zhang Wanfu's words immediately attracted a burst of good-natured laughter, Yan Yong did not speak again, and guided everyone into the small building in laughter, walked to the door of a room on the first floor, bent down and bowed to signal everyone to please come in.

Yan Yong's exaggerated demeanor and contrived expression caused more laughter and completed the whole process of entering the room.

Qi Tianxiang slowly walked to the seat at the door, motioned for Zhang Wanfu and Lian Jicheng, who came in later, to sit on either side of him, and then sat down slowly, looked at the furnishings and arrangements in the room, and said jokingly: "It's not as good as I imagined, it's not as bad as I imagined, and it's okay as a place to eat, it depends on how the big dishes are." ”

"The so-called brothers in the war, fathers and sons in battle, this is true, it's not too much, Governor Qi began to find the steps for Director Yan to go down." Zhang Wanfu looked at everyone with a slight smile, and joked: "This time, the big dish will become a big plate, and Director Yan will also climb the pole, the reason is very simple, everyone drinks progressive wine, and the wine has to be genuine." ”

Zhang Wanfu's words were relaxed and witty, which caused a burst of laughter, and it was not until Yan Yong's secretary brought the restaurant manager into the room that everyone restrained their smiles and watched Yan Yong explain to the manager in a matter-of-fact manner. In fact, they all understand that these things are just for everyone to see, and the relevant arrangements have been made by the secretary a long time ago, just to satisfy everyone's vanity.

Seeing the manager exit the room with the secretary slightly nervously, Xiao Zhang entered the door and glanced at Qi Tianxiang before turning to leave, Qi Tianxiang smiled and said to Yan Yong: "Slowly let the waiter serve the food, you first tell everyone whether your so-called big dish is Haidong taste, or Hezhong flavor, or Hexi flavor." Let everyone hear if you can do it, lest Governor Zhang say that I am short-sighted. ”

"It's a little difficult to say that the taste is a little difficult for the chef here, it was originally the level of the armed police training center, and there are not many good dishes that can be made, but they have a soldier, his hometown is Hunan, he learned to cook before becoming a soldier, and his cooking skills are still from the family, he is good at the production of Hunan cuisine, and the taste is still relatively authentic." Yan Yong folded his fingers like a few treasures, counted them one by one and said: "Mao's braised pork, bacon tea tree mushroom, Zuo Zongtang chicken, mille-feuille button meat, chopped pepper fish head, glutinous pork ribs, there are many types, and they are known for their strong oil and heavy flavor, spicy and slightly sour." ”

"I've learned this, the so-called Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy, Hubei people are not afraid of spicy, but Hunan people are afraid of spicy." Lian Jicheng took Yan Yong's words and said with deep feelings: "When I was a soldier in Hunan in my early years, the biggest feeling was spicy, the recruits trained for three months, and almost every northern soldier could lose seven or eight pounds, this is not that the training is too hard and tiring, but hungry." ”

"In the beginning, there was nothing to eat, every dish was spicy, and it seemed that the water I drank was spicy, and there was no dish that could be eaten except white rice." Lian Jicheng then joked: "Originally, our river and sea vegetables were mainly heavy in taste, salty and fragrant, and we rarely ate chili peppers, even if we ate a little folic acid, it just changed the flavor when we boiled the pot." Where is it, there are at least three ways to use people's chili peppers, there are boiling pots for a dish, the dishes are flavorful when they are about to cook, and they are spicy when they come out of the pot, it seems that the taste of chili peppers is fully released, and people who are not spicy do not count. ”

Lian Jicheng said, smiling self-deprecatingly and saying to everyone: "It took almost half a year to really adapt to the life of the place, but it is still an improved version, and the real Hunan cuisine still can't be enjoyed." ”

"What Lao Lian said is yes, now it is no spicy and no dish, and a spicy dish covers all flavors, but it is still spicy in Sichuan, and the raw and spicy in Hunan still can't adapt to it." Zhang Wanfu said with a sigh, looked at Yan Yong and explained: "Let which of your Hunan chefs be merciful, don't let us not be able to eat, and go back hungry and lose seven or eight pounds." ”

When Yan Yong heard this, he smiled mischievously at Zhang Wanfu and said, "How can it! You can't be spicy in a white bar! Otherwise, how can you have fun? ”
