At half past five in the afternoon, Tang Xiaozhou came to pick up Jiang Xiaobai on time.

The vodka sedan walked slowly, and Tang Xiaozhou said with a smile: "It's the first time you come to Jiangcheng!" How does it feel? ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly.

If you don't count the previous life, it is indeed the first time he has come to Jiangcheng.

But if you count the previous life, he has lived in Jiangcheng for five or six years.

This time, it is more appropriate to revisit the old place.

But of course, I couldn't say this to anyone, so I nodded and said, "It's the first time in my life to come to such a big city, it's much hotter than our Qingzhou." As for the feelings, I think the current Jiangcheng is like a super big construction site! ”

"Super big construction site?"

Tang Xiaozhou Yile: "Your statement is interesting, it seems that you went out for a turn." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "I have long heard of the name of the department store in the center of Jiangcheng, so I went shopping and bought something." ”

While talking, he suddenly found that the direction of the car was Jiangkou, and he couldn't help but say, "Are we going to Jiangkou?" ”

Tang Xiaozhou smiled: "You are very familiar with the road in Jiangcheng, you can see it." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "I happened to be there at noon, and I looked like it." ”

Tang Xiaozhou said: "That's right, the place we are going to now is very close to the place you went to at noon, I knew that you would go there, so I let you go first, and I will run back and forth twice." ”

Jiang Xiaobai was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Tang Xiaozhou to invite him to eat and run so far, and he couldn't help but look forward to it, where would he go to eat?

The vodka sedan slowly drove across the Yangtze River, entered the Jiangkou and arrived at Jianghan Road, passed in front of the department store in the center of Jiangcheng, continued for a while, and finally stopped at Jianghan Road.

An L-shaped skyline, a five-storey building with walls of doors and windows and a pavilion at the top with baroque columns.

Xuan Palace Hotel!

Jiang Xiaobai's face was silent, but he was shocked in his heart, and secretly sighed at Tang Xiaozhou's generosity.

Xuan Palace Hotel is very famous, was built in 1928 and completed in 1931, 5 floors above ground and 1 floor underground, the architectural form is modeled after the layout design of the old Yongan Company building in Huhai, the classical and modern atmosphere blends.

That's not the point.

The point is that the Xuan Palace Hotel has an extremely deep cultural background.

On March 1, 1938, the second temporary representative meeting of the Chinese National Liberation Action Committee was held at the Xuangong Hotel.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the "Military Mediation Office" was also located in the Xuan Palace Hotel.

In 1954, the founding emperor received and hosted a banquet for North Korean leader Kim Il-sung at the Xuangong Hotel. In the 60s, Taizu received the famous Marshal Montgomery here, and the chef of the hotel, Yang Chunqing, cooked "steamed Wuchang fish", which was deeply appreciated by Taizu and wrote the famous sentence "only drink Changsha water, and eat Wuchang fish".

"Secretary Tang is going to invite me to eat fish!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the four-character golden signboard of the Xuan Palace Hotel and said with a smile.

Tang Xiaozhou was slightly surprised, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Jiang to know here!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I usually read the newspaper, and today I will try the authentic steamed Wuchang fish thanks to the blessing of the secretary of the soup!" ”

Tang Xiaozhou laughed, and the two walked into the hotel side by side, the bare red brick wall next to the corridor and the classical wall lamps in the shape of old-fashioned flowers, the retro style is like the stone and the building are silent in history, passing through here as if traveling through the years, bringing people a heavy sense of historical vicissitudes and humanistic atmosphere.

Eating in such an environment is a pleasure in itself.

After entering the private room, Jiang Xiaobai saw that the driver did not come in with him, and asked, "Just the two of us?" Aren't the drivers together? ”

Tang Xiaozhou smiled: "He has other arrangements, just me and you will have dinner and chat with you." ”

Only then did Jiang Xiaobai know that Tang Xiaozhou invited himself to eat, not just to eat.

The two sat down, and after the waiter ordered the food and left, Jiang Xiaobai took out the box containing Omega from his bag, put it on the table in front of Tang Xiaozhou, and said, "You invite me to dinner, I will give you a small gift, and the gift is still exchanged!" ”

Tang Xiaozhou's gaze looked at the small black fluffy square box, and the Omega dark pattern logo flashed his eyes.

He is a man of knowledge.

"Omega! It's too precious for me to take it! ”

Tang Xiaozhou said, pushing the small square box in front of Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, pushed it back and said, "It's just an ordinary model, it's just a heart-to-heart." ”

Tang Xiaozhou heard him say this, opened the box and took a look, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this is clearly mid-range, it costs more than 1,000 yuan a piece, where is the ordinary model?

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, in short, he saw the soft leather strap on Jiang Xiaobai's wrist at this time, and the Omega Constellation.

Forehead...... Compared to the more than 10,000 Diamond Circle Omega constellations, more than 1,000 can indeed only be regarded as ordinary!

Smiled wryly, "Okay, then thanks!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't say anything, and changed the topic to Wuchang fish at the right time, and asked: "I heard that there are very few authentic Wuchang fish?" ”

Tang Xiaozhou said: "Wuchang of Wuchang fish refers to ancient Wuchang, in today's Echeng, although the distribution of natural Wuchang fish is wide, but the yield is indeed very low, and the production of Liangzi Lake is the most authentic. ”

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai knew about these, but he still pretended to be very interested and said: "Doesn't that mean that it's easy to eat fake Wuchang fish outside?" ”

Tang Xiaozhou smiled: "The real and fake Wuchang fish are easy to identify, and you will know when you eat them, there are not many Wuchang fish bones, only 13 and a half fish bones." ”

"Only 13 and a half thorns?" Jiang Xiaobai looked surprised and said: "It's really amazing, if I learn it, I won't be afraid of eating fake Wuchang fish in the future." ”

While the two were talking, the waiter had already begun to serve the food.

A plate of steamed Wuchang fish, a plate of boiled pork slices, a plate of vegetarian fried cowpeas, and a seaweed egg soup.

Two people, three dishes and one soup, just right.

Tang Xiaozhou pointed to the plate of steamed Wuchang fish and said with a smile: "You are blessed, today's Wuchang fish was made by Master Yang himself, and he made steamed Wuchang fish for Taizu back then, which can be regarded as an imperial kitchen!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai had heard of this allusion, Taizu was approachable, and he said that he had eaten Master Yang's Wuchang fish, so he wrote the song "Water Tune Song Tou Swimming", and gave the first manuscript to Master Yang as a gift.

Looking at the steamed Wuchang fish on the plate, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help sighing.

In the previous life, he also came to the Xuangong Hotel to eat when he became a wealthy man, but at that time, Master Yang had long stopped cooking by himself, and he didn't expect that he could still eat steamed Wuchang fish made by Master Yang in his own life, which surprised him.

"You'll have to try it!"

Jiang Xiaobai said happily and excitedly.

Such a good dish, of course, has to have wine, Tang Xiaozhou said: "Drink white or beer?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I can do it, look at you!" ”

Tang Xiaozhou ordered a bottle of Moutai, and the two chatted while eating.

Of course, it was mainly Tang Xiaozhou who asked about some of Jiang Xiaobai's business in Qingzhou, and Jiang Xiaobai did not hide it, and basically told the truth.

Because he thought, it may not be Tang Xiaozhou himself who understands this, most of the people behind him want to know.

Tang Xiaozhou couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Jiang Xiaobai had done so many industries, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Brother Jiang, have you ever wanted to come to Jiangcheng to develop?" ”
