For the rest of the time, everyone was talking about some entertainment gossip about Wen Qiao, which celebrity has been in a blockbuster recently, who broke up with whom, who is with whom again, everyone seems to have forgotten about this party It was because Ding Jiang wanted to ask about the regulations on the listing and trading of certain companies' stocks.

There was a beautiful woman, and time passed quickly. Jia Hao looked at his watch and said, "It's already over ten o'clock. I have a meeting tomorrow morning. Will it just be over?"

Ding Jiang said: "Okay, there is no end to the banquet in the world, so let's play it here today, so I won't delay Director Jia's rest."

Ding Yi went to checkout. Ding Jiang and Fu Hua sent Jia Hao and Wen Qiao away together. After getting in the car, Jia Hao rolled down the window and said to Fu Hua: "Little brother, you just came to Beijing to develop. If you need anything, I will try my best to help. Even if it’s okay, you can also come to my place to chat. I believe we must have many topics in common."

Fu Hua could tell that Jia Hao said these few words very sincerely, so he smiled and said, "Then I will first thank you brother."

"What are you polite to me? By the way," Jia Hao turned his head and said to Ding Jiang, "Dong Dong, I have time in the morning the day after tomorrow. Come to my office. Let's talk about the issues that the company needs to pay attention to when it goes public."

Ding Jiang smiled and nodded, and said, "I will definitely visit the house the next morning."

Jia Hao said, "I'll see you later." He started the car and left.

Watching Jia Hao leave, Ding Jiang smiled and patted Fu Hua on the shoulder: "Brother, you really impressed me today. I have listened to Peking Opera for so many years, but I haven't heard that Yang Yanhui is still singing today. It seems that there is still a problem with Yang Yanhui's singing today. This Jia Hao admires you very much."

Fu Hua smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence."

At this time, Ding Yi settled the account and walked to the two of them. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I learned another trick from Brother Fu today."

Fu Hua said: "Don't laugh at me, I was a fake move, but Ding Dong invited Wen Qiao with a very high hand, which can kill two birds with one stone."

Ding Jiang said, "I still need to thank you, my brother. Without you, Jia Hao wouldn't even see me. It just so happened that we mentioned our company's opening today. Ding Yi, you should choose a better house. , Complete the formalities and send you Brother Fu to Beijing."

Fu Hua smiled and shook his head: "Dong Dong, I don't dare to accept this. I introduce you to Jia Hao, but it's just a small effort. Whenever it is convenient for you to invite me to dinner, the house will be exempted."

Ding Jiang said: "How can a meal be given to me by my brother?"

Fu Hua smiled and said, "If you are really upset, you can treat me to a good meal."

Ding Jiang said: "You don’t want the house, and I don’t force it. I’ve written down this favor. As for you want to have a good meal, my brother helped us with so much heart. It is supposed to ask my brother to have a meal. , Come on, what do you want to eat?"

Fu Hua knew that this meal would not be good anymore, otherwise Ding Jiang would think that he was pushing three things, not giving face, and the world was unreasonable, so he smiled and said: "I just came to Beijing this place and I don’t know what’s delicious. I just listen to it. It is said that Beijing roast duck and Donglaishun lamb are good. Which one Ding Dong thinks is good, please go there."

Ding Jiang smiled: "My brother, what are roast duck and mutton soup? You still need to know more about Beijing cuisine. This should be one of the duties of the director of your Beijing Office.

Fu Hua said, let Ding Dong decide the place, I will follow you to open your eyes. "

Ding Jiang said: "Then, I will be fine tomorrow. Let's go eat Tan Jiacai."

Fu Hua knew about Tan Jiacai, which was also known as the official cuisine and the No. 1 dish in the late Qing Dynasty, leaving behind the reputation of "the food world is full of praise". This "Tan" refers to Tan Jiajun, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong. This person was ranked second in the Hanlin in the 13th year of Tongzhi Examination. He was later supervised in Sichuan and served as deputy examiner in Jiangnan. He loved delicacies and delicious food all his life. In the Qing Dynasty, officials often entertained each other. Tan Jiajun's family banquet was arranged by him personally and was praised. His son Tan Yuqing is more particular about food than his father. The hostess of the Tan family is good at cooking, and she often does not hesitate to hire famous chefs from Beijing masters at home. She constantly learns from the culinary skills of various schools, and successfully integrates the North and South cuisines into one stove, and finally forms a unique Tan family cuisine. .

There are several restaurants in Beijing that make Tan’s cuisine. It is said that they were all run by people from the Tan’s family. Fu Hua also ate in a restaurant once, but he didn’t think it was particularly good. But since Ding Jiang proposed it, he There was no need to object, and I had eaten this meal, and quickly dealt with this matter, otherwise Ding Jiang didn't know what to give himself again. Although Fu Hua knew that Ding Jiang had a good intention to pay back his favor, Fu Hua knew his identity very well. He was a public servant. If he accepted something from Ding Jiang, it would be bribery, which was not allowed by organizational discipline.

Fu Hua said: "Wow, then I will follow Ding Dong to enjoy it."

The next day, Ding Jiang took Fu Hua and Ding Yi to the Tanjia Room on the seventh floor of Tower C of the Beijing Hotel. Fu Hua seemed to have arrived at the Beijing Hotel. He knew that today’s meal was definitely different from what he had eaten at that restaurant. It is a five-star, semi-circular windows, luxurious and elegant furnishings, it is an absolutely outstanding place.

After sitting down, Ding Jiang did not ask Fu Hua. He ordered agar-agar in clear soup, braised shark fin, abalone in oyster sauce, prawns in oyster sauce, prawns, firewood duck, pot braised venison, colorful vegetarian stew, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, Steamed soy fish and other dishes.

Fu Hua smiled and said, "Ding Dong, it's so rich."

Ding Jiang said: "These are all signature dishes. You must try them when you come to Beijing Restaurant."

Fu Huaxin said that the ingredients of these dishes are not cheap, and in five-star hotels, they will definitely be expensive. That is to say, you, the big boss, have a lot of money. Who would order so much in exchange for someone else

Fu Hua smiled: "That's really to thank Ding Dong for his hospitality."

Ding Jiang smiled and said, "My brother, this is nothing compared to your helping me, so don’t be polite. You must taste the yellow braised shark fin later. The yellow braised shark fin here is top-notch. Yes, it is the best shark fin I have ever tasted."

Because of Ding Jiang's special reminder, Fu Hua paid special attention to the yellow braised shark fin that came up, but this yellow braised shark fin did not disappoint Fu Hua. Fu Hua has been following Qu Wei for many years. I don’t know how many shark fins have been eaten. Most of the time, the shark fins are cooked and tasteless. It is no different from the fans hanging from the broth. But the shark fin of Tan Jiacai is golden and translucent. The rich and juicy taste and the soft and glutinous texture really showed the deliciousness of shark fin, which made Fu Hua amazed.

Ding Jiang smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you, brother?"

Fu Hua smiled and said, "It is delicious."

Ding Jiang said: "Tell you, my brother, here is the most authentic Tan Jia cuisine. It is inherited from Tan Jiajun’s chef Peng Changhai. For this yellow braised shark fin, you must choose Luzon yellow from the Philippines. There is one of the fins. Layers of fat-like meat, wing ribs are arranged in layers of meat, rich in gelatin, high quality. The soup for cooking shark fin must be full of ingredients, such as whole chicken, whole duck, pork knuckle, scallops, Jinhua ham, etc. The ingredients must be available to ensure that the soup is clear, strong and delicious. Then it needs to be burned on the fire for six or seven hours to make the texture of the shark's fin extremely soft and waxy, and the taste will be exceptionally delicious. The next time I go to Beijing, this yellow braised shark fin must be eaten."

Fu Huaxin said that after doing this, how much does this bowl of braised shark fin cost? This is really delicious that ordinary people can't afford. It suddenly occurred to me that this Tanjia Hall has a beautiful environment and high-end dishes. Please Guo Jing and his wife can arrange it here.

It is said that there is no need to arrange it in such a high-end place, but this is to invite Guo Jing's husband. It is said that Guo Jing's husband has a strong family background, and Fu Hua does not want to lose face in front of him.

Fu Hua is also an ordinary person, he has the same competitive spirit and jealousy as an ordinary person. Subconsciously, he was a bit hostile to the man who got Guo Jing, even though he had given up Guo Jing himself. He chose the Beijing Hotel because he actually wanted to tell the man who got Guo Jing that he was not bad at Fu Hua and that he could invite them to dinner at a top restaurant in Beijing.

Although Fu Hua thought of this incident afterwards, he felt superficial and ridiculous, but when the idea of choosing a Beijing hotel for a treat emerged in his mind, he thought it was appropriate, and he even thanked Ding Jiang and Ding somewhat. Jiang Ling went to such a high-end place by himself, which gave him a place to invite Guo Jing and his wife, otherwise he might really ask Guo Jing and his wife to eat roast duck or mutton, but that was a bit of a loss.

It has been several days since I called Guo Jing to invite Guo Jing. Guo Jing never called again. Fu Hua felt that Guo Jing seemed reluctant to bring her husband to see him. This made him a little embarrassed. Now that the invitation has been sent, it is reasonable to ask about the other party's specific arrangements, but he knows that Guo Jing is reluctant to ask, and it is not right for him to ask, nor is it not to ask. Today, the Beijing Hotel and his party gave Fu Hua a very good narrative, which made him think he could call Guo Jing.

The next day Ding Jiang and Ding Yi and his son went to Jia Hao by themselves. Fu Hua did not accompany him because Jia Hao did not explicitly invite him to go. He was afraid that Jia Hao would discuss something more private with Ding Jiang and his son, so he went. It is not very convenient.

Fu Hua dialed Guo Jing's phone and said with a smile, "What are you up to?"

Guo Jing smiled: "It's nothing, just messing around."

Fu Hua said, "Oh, hey, I ate with my friends at the Beijing Hotel yesterday. I felt that the Tanjia food there was very good, so I remembered that I invited your husband and wife to dinner. Did you forget this?"

Guo Jing said, "Fu Hua, it's really unnecessary. Besides, the one in my house is really busy."

Fu Hua said: "I sincerely want to invite your husband and wife, and there will always be time to eat no matter how busy you are. Didn't you tell them at all?"

Guo Jing was obviously a little embarrassed and said: "I told him, but his schedule was very full in those days."
