Tan Jiacai was opened in the BJ Hotel on Chang'an Street opposite the bookstore. The distance was less than two hundred meters, so everyone did not drive, but walked over as a car.

When you walked into the BJ Hotel, take the elevator to the seventh floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, the three gold-plated signs of "Tan Jiacai" hanging on the pillars were suddenly impressed.

Wang Bo, his two female companions Zheng Yan and Jiang Xiaorou, Hu Maolin and Zhang Qiong from the publishing house, Zhang Qiong is also Wang Bo's beauty editor, Hu Maolin's love // ​​person, as well as the host Cao Zeming and his secretary named Fan Ruling in his twenties, but in Wang Bo's eyes, ninety-nine percent may be the lover, the mistress, and a group of seven people, under the guidance of the reception in the door wearing a cheongsam and a beautiful face, they entered the magnificent, legendary Tan Family Restaurant.

Wang Bo, who came to Tanjia Cuisine for the first time, looked curiously while walking and found that the restaurant was ancient and ancient, carved beams and painted buildings, thick carpets on the ground, and there were many bright yellow and bright red colors in the hotel. It was obviously intended to create a royal palace atmosphere. However, from Wang Bo's aesthetic perspective that he was used to more than ten years later, the decoration was also not too ordinary and a bit old-fashioned. Although it was magnificent, some corners seemed a bit old.

Everyone was brought to a private room where ten people sat. Then a waiter brought the menu to Cao Zeming. Cao Zeming opened the menu and started ordering dishes. This time, he did not politely give him the menu to him as a guest as Hu Maolin last night. Wang Bo thought about it as a villain, probably because he was afraid that he would not know the background of the Tan family dishes, so he ordered randomly, and finally ordered a table of things worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

That would be embarrassing.

Having said that, when Cao Zeming ordered dishes, he still asked Wang Bo, Hu Maolin and others from time to time, asking everyone's preferences and taboos. Wang Bo still said that he had no taboos when eating, but he knew nothing about Tan's food and did not bother the two masters, so he asked Cao Zeming to do it for himself. What others said was similar, and Cao Zeming would do it for him.

"Then I will order it casually!" Cao Zeming said with a smile and began to order dishes.

During Cao Zeming's order, Hu Maolin talked to Wang Bo and to several female companions around him about the origin and allusions of Tan's cuisine, saying that this "Tan's cuisine" was created by Hanlin, the Hanlin, a second-place senior high school in the late Qing Dynasty and the only high school in Chinese history. It has been passed down for three generations. People who come here to eat are usually either rich or noble. Many state banquets, including national leaders, are here to entertain foreign guests. Several girls, including Wang Bo, all looked relish. Wang Bo read yy novels in his previous life and heard from those authors yy, but they were basically heard from them. Now, when Hu Maolin, an old BJ man, feels natural and different. His expectation for the legendary Tan's cuisine has deepened a little further.

Cao Zeming quickly finished the dish and immediately added to the supplementary explanation of the historical allusions of Tan Family cuisine.

"...The capital has always been the best area, with a rich cultural heritage, and historical figures from all walks of life. Whether it is political, military, financial, or film and television, there are countless popular celebrities. However, "the taste is the same as the taste," everyone wants to try the Tanjia cuisine. The first time I eat it well, but the second time I want to come. Therefore, the Tanjia cuisine business has never been light. Foreigners also have to find ways to eat Tanjia cuisine. There is a condition for eating Tanjia cuisine.

Regardless of whether the diner knows the Tan family, they have to set up an extra seat for the owner, and the owner always comes to taste a few bites, in this form, to express 'I am not a restaurant'. Lao Hu said just now that the founder of Tan Family Cuisine was the second-class Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty and the Hanlin Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. His identity and status were extraordinary. Even if later generations opened restaurants and thought of the glory of their ancestors, they would still distinguish their own family from ordinary restaurants."

After everyone chatted about Tanjia Cuisine for about twenty minutes, the waiter started serving. The first dish was Tanjia Cuisine’s signature dish, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", a round brown porcelain cup like Maitreya Buddha, which contained a bowl of golden sticky soup. He scooped a spoonful of white porcelain spoon into his mouth. The taste was very fresh, and it looked wet and thick. But how special it was, it was not necessarily true that some flavors were similar to Shandong cuisine, and they all used the processing of the ingredients themselves to create the original flavor of the ingredients.

After the Buddha jumped over the wall, there was a "bright future" platter, including beef, loaves and shrimp. The plate was exquisite, but the portion was not much. Wang Bo felt that he could chew it in one bite. He picked up a piece with chopsticks and chewed it slowly. Although it felt delicious, it still seemed too light for his heavy taste, which was spicy and unpleasant.

Although the dining table of Tan Jiacai is a large Chinese round table, it is a separate meal when eating, and then a plate is served. The waiter next to him is very thoughtful and attentive, and he will change dishes diligently, but he has no smile. A man serving the dishes is even cold and expressionless, as if someone owes him 1,800 yuan. Wang Bo was a little unhappy at first, and felt that these waiters were a little lacking in training. I’m sorry for such a high-end occasion. Later, when the waiters finished serving the dishes, they heard Cao Zeming’s whispering explanation, and then he felt relieved:

It turns out that I am used to meeting high-ranking officials, national leaders and foreign guests! It would be nice to be able to serve them without showing off their bad faces.

Wang Bo curled his lips and shook his head, but he thought of Tan Jiacai, who was arrogant and did not enter ordinary people's homes for more than ten years later, with the central government's deepening of anti-corruption and strictly prohibited eating and drinking. After his business plummeted, he had to go with the flow, reduce his value, and join the army of takeaway and group buying. If these waiters knew that Tan Jiacai also had takeaway and group buying one day, they would probably reduce their arrogance now, so give them a little more smile?

Afterwards, Wang Bo tasted another dish of fish lips and the abalone stewed hot, and the taste was mainly delicious.

A delicious dish of jeans and tomato sauce tastes like a Western food, but there seems to be a little too much tendon inside, which is a bit of a beauty.

There is also a Gongbao shrimp ball, which imitates the classic Kunbao chicken diced in Sichuan cuisine. It is spicy, fragrant and fresh, has a chewy texture and is just right in sweetness, which is quite consistent with Wang Bo's taste.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the topics were mainly catering and literary interesting stories. In Shuangqing and at dinners in Rongcheng, Wang Bo usually talked the most because he wanted to maintain the lively atmosphere of the scene, so he was inevitably confused.

Now, as a guest, he cannot proclaim his troops to seize the leader. Wang Bo reduced his speeches and mostly listened to Hu Maolin and Cao Zeming, two old bjs bragging and spanking, but only occasionally echoed a few words.

During the chat, he observed and looked at the internal environment of the Tan family cuisine from time to time, and found that in addition to the atmospheric decoration and luxurious decoration, even the cups, plates, dishes, dishes, and dishes that serve dishes are also quite exquisite and exquisite. Many cups, plates, and jade (golden and imitation jade) are inlaid with gold and jade, which look grand and rich. They are the ones that he has visited in his two lives that are the most particular about cups, plates and utensils.

Judging from Wang Bo's experience of eating for two lifetimes, the more he pays attention to the environment, the more he cares about the cups and plates and utensils, the more colorful the dishes are, the more gorgeous the content they really eat. Although today's Tan family dish cannot be said to be flashy, the price, the taste and portion corresponding to the price, including the quality of the service, is a bit too far off and is not worth the price at all.

Of course, it is hard to buy happiness for a thousand gold. Chang'an Street, BJ Hotel, Tan Family Food, State Banquet, and foreign guests, just these words are combined together, and for some pretenders, it is worth the price! As for what to eat, whether it is delicious or not, it is secondly, and being glamorous is the most important thing!

However, for Wang Bo, who only cares about taste, does not care much about the environment, and is also a little concerned about cost-effectiveness, he will never pay for money to be slaughtered in such a place.
