The fame of Long Dan's estate is not unrelated to the method of cooking fish invented by Long Dan. Long Dan is an environmentalist who pays attention to the way of wellness. Long Dan found that the methods of cooking fish in restaurants and hotels are similar, most of them are piled up with seasonings and condiments, not to mention greasy, and the taste is the same. So, I tried to improve some ways of making fish.

Longdan's method of making fish is as follows: remove the five internal organs of fresh cochineal, remove the fish scales, wash and spin dry; Fry with vegetable oil at a very high temperature until golden brown, then pour cold water, boil over high heat for 20 minutes, then simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, add salt and a little chili, and finally add chopped green onion or coriander. During the period, no other ingredients are added, especially no seasonings such as MSG and MSG. When out of the pot, the fish broth is milky white, like fresh milk. Its fish soup is delicious, the fish meat is fluffy, and it melts in the mouth, which is really delicious in the world.

There are three major elements of this dish of Longdan: one is the unique rouge fish, the second is fried in vegetable oil, and the third is simmered over high heat; All three are indispensable. Later, others learned this method, and the latter two are easy to say, but the rouge fish is unique to Longdan, and it is not easy to handle, so they have to use a large fish head instead. It has gradually formed one of the four famous foods in Luzhong City, which is also something that Long Dan did not expect.

Since President Zhang of the city bank entertained the leaders of the provincial bank and was praised by the leaders, President Zhang was very grateful to Long Dan. In the future, he brought guests to Long Dan's manor every once in a while, which increased Long Dan's income a lot. This is secondary, the important thing is that Long Dan also got to know a large number of leading cadres because of this. This brought great convenience to Long Dan's future business.

Later, President Zhang didn't know where to find out, saying that eating cochineal can also nourish his face, so that President Zhang must eat cochineal at every meal. And the rouge fish is only unique to Long Dan in Luzhong City, which provides a good foundation for President Zhang and Long Dan to have a good relationship.

President Zhang has a lot of relationships, and there are many business entertainments, as long as they can be brought to Cuifeng Garden, they are no exception, which makes the sales of Longdan's rouge fish increase greatly, and the relationship between President Zhang and Longdan is getting deeper and deeper.

On this day, President Zhang brought a person, not a leader, but a painter. It turned out that President Zhang often dealt with superior leaders, and learned the vassal elegance with the leaders, and liked calligraphy and painting. In order to improve his appreciation level, he worshipped a young painter in the city as a teacher to learn Chinese painting. This day is the weekend. President Zhang didn't entertain, so he took his painter teacher to Longdan's manor.

This painter is called Wang Hua, painting since childhood, no teacher, later in the Kyoto Academy of Painting to worship the old painter Yanwen as a teacher, specializing in landscape, and later participated in several consecutive national art exhibitions, is also a little famous, is currently a member of the National Art Association, its Chinese painting skills are not weak.

Don't look at Wang Hua as a painter, but he doesn't have the sour atmosphere of a painter, his speech is very oily, and his tone is smooth, like a profiteer doing business, and I don't know why President Zhang wants to learn painting from such a teacher.

As soon as Wang Hua saw Long Dan, he said: "Brother Long, I have admired the name for a long time, I will ask for it in the future", Long Dan saw Wang Hua say this, and he was also puzzled, so he said: "What kind of name do you admire for a long time, I am very ordinary, I don't know, what can I do to my brother?" Governor Zhang hurriedly said: "I learned to paint with Mr. Wang, and I don't have a place to paint, can you borrow Brother Long's place and open a studio." This is not only convenient for Mr. Wang's sketching, but also for me to come often, and I can eat Brother Long's cochineal", Long Dan heard it, hesitated: "This is ......", President Zhang heard it, and hurriedly said: "I see that Brother Long's house is a lot, and Mr. Wang can't occupy much space, so you can vacate two rooms for him, one to live in, and one to use as a studio, and I will handle the cost." When Long Dan saw that Governor Zhang said this, he had no choice, so he had to agree. vacated two houses for Wang Hua, let Wang Hua live, and let Wang Hua sketch and paint in Longdan's manor. It wasn't until later that the two fell in love over time, and slowly transformed from a master-apprentice relationship to a couple relationship, and finally lived together.

It turned out that Wang Hua was fascinated by painting, and he couldn't sell his paintings for a few dollars, he was poor, and he often quarreled with his wife, and later divorced, and had a son who lived with his wife, and he still made a living by painting. President Zhang is also a married woman, although she has not yet divorced, she still exists in name only. President Zhang's name is Zhang Jing, and her husband is a college classmate, Zhang Jing's home is a provincial city, and after coming to Luzhong City with her husband, Zhang Jing's business level has gradually been appreciated by the leaders, and her position has gradually risen.

The rise of the position means that the entertainment will increase, Zhang Jing often goes home drunk, which makes her husband very disgusted, and over time, the two often quarrel, so that later, Zhang Jing's husband did not return home at night, and the two were strangers. Zhang Jing is very beautiful, and it is said that she has become one of the four beauties in the banking system. There was a legend that Zhang Jing had an ambiguous relationship with a certain city leader or a provincial leader. It's hard to say such a thing, a woman's success has been talked about a lot, and Zhang Jing is a beautiful woman. Rumors are indispensable, and Long Dan later heard a lot of legends about Zhang Jing, but it doesn't matter to him, and Long Dan doesn't need to pursue these.

The relationship between Zhang Jing and Wang Hua is in Long Dan's eyes, especially in his own manor, but it is not easy to say anything. It's just that Zhang Jing's eyes have changed a lot, Zhang Jing is also a smart woman, and she knows that she is very uncomfortable when she uses Long Dan's place to create conditions for her lover, so she is extremely polite to Long Dan. And let Wang Hua continue to introduce painters from other places to Longdan's manor to sketch and paint, and the cost is all covered by President Zhang. Since Long Dan didn't spend anything, he just sold a few houses, so he acquiesced to Zhang Jing and Wang Hua's actions.

Long Dan was not interested in painting at first, but he watched Wang Hua sketch and paint in his manor every day, and gradually gained an understanding of calligraphy and painting. As Wang Hua continued to introduce painters to Long Dan's manor, the painter left more and more calligraphy and paintings for Long Dan. Helpless, Long Dan had no choice but to vacate two big houses as his own gallery to store calligraphy and paintings, and over time, he was slowly able to evaluate calligraphy and paintings. Sometimes he also discussed some calligraphy and painting skills with Wang Hua, and Wang Hua also deliberately stammered, sometimes asking Long Dan to write some inscriptions for his landscape paintings and write some poems on calligraphy and painting. Long Dan also had no dislike for Wang Hua, and after a long time, he made calculations about Wang Hua's calligraphy and painting career.

"Brother Wang, it's not a long way for you to paint like this every day, calligraphy and painting must be recognized by the society to support you to paint. If your calligraphy and paintings can't be sold, I'm afraid you can't just count on President Zhang to support you" Long Dan said kindly to Wang Hua, Wang Hua saw that Long Dan was thinking for himself, so he said: "I can only paint, I can't do business, or Brother Long will give me an idea?" Wang Hua was also the one who climbed up the pole, and when he saw Long Dan say this, he kicked the ball to Long Dan again. Long Dan said: "There is no way, that is, you have to open your own art exhibition" "I have also opened art exhibitions a few times, and the effect is not ideal" Wang Hua said discouragedly. Long Dan continued: "That's the wrong way you opened it, if you let me open it, your calligraphy and painting will definitely be popular."

Seeing this, Wang Hua immediately came to the scene and said, "If Brother Long has a good way, let's hear it?" Long Dan said: "It's very simple, first open a gallery in the city, invite a group of painters who are a little famous in the country, you hype together, invite the important leaders in the city, this President Zhang is not impossible, and then ask the leader to write something on it, don't worry about your calligraphy and painting is not popular", Wang Hua said: "Then I'll talk to Zhang Jing to see what her opinion is."

As soon as Wang Hua told Zhang Jing about Long Dan's idea, Zhang Jing agreed very much, so he let Long Dan act as an agent, and Zhang Jing also promised to pay some expenses. Long Dan saw that the two of them agreed, and the idea was his own, so he took it as a serious matter. I rented a two-story building in a prosperous area of the city, found someone to decorate it, and made a sign. Above: Hanshan Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Long Dan's gallery was established.

Long Dan established the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and asked Wang Hua to invite his classmates who were a little famous all over the country to the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and worked hard for a week, doing a lot of calligraphy and painting. Long Dan invited a banquet in the hotel, asked the leader to write an inscription, and asked the painter to take a photo with the leader. Long Dan washed out the group photo again, picked dozens of photos of important leaders, and hung them on the walls of the painting academy. This method made the leaders very happy, and most of the leaders arranged for their familiar bosses to buy a lot of calligraphy and paintings of painters who took pictures with them. So the city's business bosses know that the city leaders like the calligraphy and painting of the Hanshan Painting and Calligraphy Institute, and they all compete to buy it.

With the sale of calligraphy and painting in Longdan Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Wang Hua's calligraphy and painting were also familiar to leaders at all levels, and Wang Hua became a celebrity in Luzhong City for a while. At this time, Wang Hua was grateful to Long Dan. President Zhang even thanked Long Dan repeatedly, and Long Dan also became his own business because of helping others, and he was deeply trapped in it and couldn't get out. In this way, Longdan's rural Taoyuan life came to an end and a new urban era began.
