Third …
…
"Wow, it's so delicious …"
When the dish entered their mouths, the first to shout was still Ding Chuchu. Then, she looked at Secretary Tang embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "It's much better than what the auntie at home makes …"
"Haha …"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ding Chuchu grew up in the United States. Although her grandmother specially found a few skilled chefs from the country to cook for her, she grew up abroad. Perhaps it was okay when she was young, but gradually, the taste changed. Even the stir-fried dishes in Chinese restaurants became American.
She hadn't been back for a long time. Secretary Ding was also a high-ranking member of the provincial party committee. He didn't have time to cook for her, so he arranged a nanny to take care of her. The nanny's cooking skills were actually not bad, but the difference was much bigger.
After Ding Chuchu's commotion, the atmosphere in the private room became much better. The young people's reservations also decreased a lot. At the same time, they began to seriously taste Qin Fang's dish.
"Well, it's not bad …"
Almost everyone's answer was similar. No one said that the dish was not good. Except for Ding Chuchu, only Tang Feifei clearly said that the dish was delicious. The others said that it was not bad. After all, Secretary Tang hadn't said anything yet.
"In my opinion, the best place to cook this dish is where the seven flavors converge. Have a taste …" Secretary Tang said unhurriedly after everyone had tasted the dish.
In fact, when Qin Fang heard this sentence, although he didn't say anything, his heart and eyes had already betrayed his mood. He secretly thought that Secretary Tang was definitely a very good gourmet. He could see the essence of the dish at a glance.
Every chef would be the first to taste their dishes. Qin Fang was no exception.
In fact, when he brought the dish over, he had already tasted it in advance. It met his expectations, so he sent it over.
He had tasted all seven flavors one by one, and he had also tasted the taste of the two flavors mixed together. The real difficulty, and also the most pure taste of this dish, was the place where the seven flavors converged. That was the place where it could really be called a classic!
Qin Fang didn't know how to evaluate the taste of that place or the cooking level of that place, but Qin Fang simply compared it with the dishes made by Old Herry, the owner of the best French restaurant in Ninghai that he had tasted before, and it was almost the same …
Of course, what Qin Fang compared to was Old Eli's Supreme Set Meal, and not an ordinary one. At least in that western restaurant, other than Old Eli, the other French chefs' western food was really mediocre.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this. The taste they tasted just now was already quite good. However, most of them had eaten a lot of delicacies before, so they weren't too surprised. At most, they were surprised that Qin Fang had such cooking skills.
They all had the same thought, let alone Secretary Tang. However, Secretary Tang was quite appreciative of the place where the seven flavors converged, which made them feel strange.
Thus, everyone raised their chopsticks one after another, picked up some food, and tasted it.
As soon as the food entered their mouths, they immediately felt that the taste was indeed different. When the aroma of the food and the juice gently brushed past their taste buds, they suddenly felt a slight shock.
However, after the food entered their stomachs, they couldn't help but reminisce. At this time, they realized that the taste was actually very special. After a simple recollection, they suddenly felt sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, numb, astringent …
After carefully counting, there were actually seven different flavors.
"Xiao Qin's Exquisite Seven Orifices is very good, especially the place where the seven flavors converged is called the best!
At first, you might only feel that it is very delicious and mellow in the mouth, but after eating it, you can't help but reminisce about it carefully. At this time, you realize that there are actually such complex flavors in that mellow taste. "
"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, numb, astringent … There are seven different flavors, all mixed together. If you don't look back and savor it carefully, you won't be able to feel its magic!
Isn't this the same for life? The seven flavors of life are all contained in it … Perhaps someone's life is ordinary, but when you look back and recall the past, you will realize that the seven flavors are all contained in it. "
"Xiao Qin's dish is called Exquisite Seven Orifices. It corresponds to not only seven different flavors, but also seven different lives. Only when the seven flavors converge can one live a real life, and one can live a truly wonderful life …"
Secretary Tang seemed to be very moved today. At least, he was deeply moved by Qin Fang's dish. He rarely commented on the younger generation like this, but today, he said it in front of everyone.
The girls present might not be able to understand too much, but the men all had thoughtful expressions. Tangcheng, Ning Weiqiang, Li Rui, and the chef of this dish, Qin Fang, all felt that Secretary Tang's flowers contained a considerable amount of truth. Perhaps they already understood some of it, or perhaps they didn't understand some of it …
"Hehe, I'm getting older, so I can't help but speak a little more!
Come, everyone, let's eat, but this dish has to be reserved for me … "
Secretary Tang was quite satisfied when he saw that the juniors all had serious expressions on their faces. Regardless of whether they were friends or foes, they were still a group of young people in his opinion. It was only right for them to be properly trained.
Secretary Tang was quite an open-minded person. He didn't look at Tangcheng and the others again. Instead, he laughed and told everyone to eat. He even joked that he would take care of the entire dish, which immediately caused the girls present to laugh.
With the laughter, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Although it wasn't as casual as when friends ate together, it was much better than at the beginning.
Secretary Tang was the oldest among all the people present. Naturally, Qin Fang and the others toasted him one by one. Secretary Tang also very politely returned the toast. Of course, Qin Fang and the others drank it all in one gulp, while Secretary Tang drank a little bit.
However, after this round of toasting, Secretary Tang ate a few mouthfuls of food and didn't eat much of his Exquisite Seven Orifices dish. He stood up and said goodbye.
Qin Fang and the others naturally didn't dare to stop him. Secretary Tang's identity was special, and he couldn't really stay with them for too long. Everyone stood up to see him off.
"Uncle Tang, if I may be so bold as to ask …"
In fact, Qin Fang was a little conflicted in his heart, but in the end, he still decided to say it out loud.
Secretary Tang was also slightly stunned. He didn't say anything and just looked at Qin Fang as if he was waiting for Qin Fang to say it.
"I want to ask you to help the shop with a calligraphy piece …"
Qin Fang said in a trembling voice. He knew from Tang Feifei that Secretary Tang was a good calligrapher. Secretary Tang once joked that if he didn't go into an official career, he might have become a calligrapher.
"Dad, can you do it?"
Tang Feifei was also stunned when she heard this, but then her eyes lit up. She shook Secretary Tang's arm and kept acting like a spoiled child. This was her unique skill.
"Ugh, it seems that the saying that girls favor outsiders is not false at all. In order to help Xiao Qin, you even abandoned your dad … Okay, dad promises you, okay?"
Secretary Tang touched Tang Feifei's head intimately. He loved this daughter the most, and Tang Feifei rarely asked for anything from him. Since it was rare for her to mention it, how could he refuse?
However, he turned his head and looked at Qin Fang with a straight face. "You little guy are simply a sly one …"
Qin Fang smiled awkwardly and didn't refute. His words were sincere. He also knew that Tang Feifei would most likely help him, but Tang Feifei absolutely didn't know beforehand. The two were not partners.
The four treasures of the study were quickly prepared. When Qin Fang had this idea, he had already arranged for Xiao Qing to prepare it. This wasn't too difficult. Even if Secretary Tang didn't agree, at most, they would lose a little money.
Now that Secretary Tang agreed, it was naturally for the best.
The required items were quickly prepared. Everyone moved to the side hall. It was even quieter here. They were silent. Except for breathing, they didn't dare to make any noise. They didn't want to disturb Secretary Tang.
Secretary Tang stood in front of the desk, picked up the brush, and began to brew his mood. At the same time, he was secretly thinking about what to write.
After standing like this for a few minutes, his eyes were slightly cold. He approached the desk, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote on the white rice paper.
"Exquisite Seven Orifices!"
The content was very simple. There were only four words, but these four words suddenly gave people a very amazing feeling. It was really like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing. The strokes were strong and vigorous. The words were full and round, domineering and restrained. People couldn't help but praise it.
Everyone knew how to write, but they didn't know much about calligraphy. However, when they saw such a piece of calligraphy, they were also very amazed and shocked. This level was definitely not inferior to those calligraphers.
No one present was a fool. Naturally, they all understood the meaning of these few words. It was not only about the object, but also about the person.
Of course, he was talking about Fang Feixue's signature dish, Exquisite Seven Orifices, which had left a deep impression on him. As for the person he was talking about, he hoped that Qin Fang could be like this dish, and like the name of this dish, Exquisite Seven Orifices.
"This piece of calligraphy is for you. I hope you won't let me down!"
Secretary Tang himself was very satisfied with this piece of calligraphy. Even when he was walking away, he couldn't help but look back. He gently patted Qin Fang's shoulder and encouraged him. Then, he strode away.
Tangcheng also nodded at Qin Fang and followed Secretary Tang's footsteps. As for Tang Feifei, although she didn't want to go, she still smiled bitterly and immediately followed. Just like that, the Tang family left. Qin Fang walked them to the door and saw the car that was already waiting there.
