Chapter 652 The second

In the side hall, Qian Yuan and Tan Lun sat facing each other. There were only four dishes and one soup on the table, and a pot of hot flower carvings. Although it was simple, Tan Lun was so excited about eating.

Even if Tan Lun had not encountered the Southeast anti-Japanese war in history, he would probably be famous in history. He was elegant and ancient, good at appreciation, good at poetry and prose, beautiful in lights and fireworks, and liked Liyuan opera. Even though he had led troops to fight against the Japanese war in Taizhou in recent years, he had a drama team around him.

The famous "Yihuang Opera" in later generations originated from Tan Lun. He merged the Haiyan Opera in Zhejiang and the Yiyang Opera in Shangrao, Jiangxi to form the so-called "Yihuang Opera".

During the Wanli period, Tang Xianzu's "The Four Dreams of Linchuan" was premiered by Yihuang's tune, which shows that he is highly respected.

In addition, Tan Lun is also very fond of the food and wine. He is very interested in the "Suiyuan Food List" handwritten by Qian Yuan, and often feels sorry in Wenzhou... His nephew set up a restaurant in the capital and Zhenhai, but looked down on Taizhou!

Qian Yuan in his previous life only knew that Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang were as famous as the anti-Japanese generals... After seeing this in this life, he felt that Tan Lun was a bit like Zhang Dai and Zhang Zongzi, a prose essayist he loved very much.

He also came from a scholarly family, and his father and grandparents were quite famous. He has been a child in the Fu Clothing Temple... The difference is that Zhang Dai only knows how to play, while Tan Lun not only knows how to play.

However, this was the first time Tan Lun had tasted Qian Yuan's cooking skills, although the latter had been in Linhai County, Taizhou for more than a year.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Qian Yuan found that the plate of tiger-skinned green pepper disappeared the fastest, and the other two dishes with dried peppers were also very popular with Tan Lun, but tomatoes were very neglected.

"The desire for the mouth and stomach is not to fill the stomach." Tan Lun sipped the wine and praised: "Only Qianjiajiajiao is spread all over the southeast, and Yuan Ge'er is enough to be famous for his future generations."

"Are you satisfied?" Qian Yuan refused to laugh.

Qian Yuan really didn't plan to cook today, but Tan Lun gave a few reminders... At the beginning of the year, Wu Weixi was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang. Hearing that Brother Yuan went to Hangzhou in person, brought his own wine and ingredients, cooked in person, and saw Wu Weixi off?

Tan Lun patted his stomach and laughed: "The Southeast civil and military officials don't know Fanfan. How many people can get Yuan Ge'er to cook in person?"

Qian Yuan chuckled and said, "But Wu Weixi, Tang Jingchuan, Qi Yuanjing."

These three people are the most solid reliance behind Qian Yuan. Even Tang Shunzhi was unable to argue with Qian Yuan after he was in charge of the business.

Now, Tan Lun will become the fourth one.

Tan Lun scooped up a bowl of soup and asked casually: "I wrote a letter to Beijing in the same year, saying that you have gone to Xiyuan in the restaurant and business in Beijing?"

"In the 35th year of Jiajing, the restaurant was opened, and His Majesty came in person." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Now, Eunuch Huang, the chief minister of the Sili, often instructed the restaurant to send some novel dishes, such as golden rods, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes... His Majesty has tasted them all."

Tan Lun snorted, "Great for the time being in Zhengde!"

If it was during the Zhengde period... Zhu Houzhao was his favorite new thing.

Qian Yuan didn't care and continued: "King Yu often goes to restaurants and is also a regular customer in Suiyuan... There are often new products in Suiyuan's kitchen."

Tan Lun, who was drinking soup, put down the bowl and hesitated and asked in a low voice: "How about your Highness?"

Such words cannot be asked casually. Tan Lun asked this question... means that he will remain consistent with Qian Yuan at the political level, whether in the southeast or in the middle of Beijing.

"The emperor's demeanor is gentle and elegant, and is well-behaved in his heart."

Tan Lun thought in his mind that "the emperor's style" is nonsense. As long as there is nothing wrong, King Yu will definitely inherit the treasure. "Clean and kind" means that he is relatively chaotic, and "prominent in his heart" means that King Yu is not stupid and has a clear idea in his heart.

After removing the leftovers, the tea boy made tea and came up. Qian Yuan looked at the tea cup at hand, as small as walnuts and as thin as eggshells. He sipped and smelled fragrant.

"What kind of tea do you taste?" Tan Lun asked sarcastically. He knew that although his nephew liked to drink Longjing in Mingqian, he was not proficient in famous teas from various places.

Qian Yuan looked at the fresh and tender leaves in the teacup, and the fragrance was strong, and smiled and said, "The Mengding Shihua in Jiannan."

Tan Lun was stunned and nodded after a while. Tea is produced in all parts of the southeast. Although the Mengding stone flower in Sichuan is famous, it is rare in the southeast.

Qian Yuan laughed in his heart. He didn't understand tea, but on his way to Chongde a few years ago, He Liangjun commented on famous teas in the world. At that time, he drank Mengding Shihua.

"By the way, my uncle has been in office for a while, and there are quite a few staff members?" Qian Yuan asked casually.

Tan Lun frowned and said, "Now that the Japanese treasury in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are gradually subsided, and Hu Ruzhen has also transferred the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi. Most of the staff from Liangzhe have returned home, so I am afraid it is difficult to hire them."

"The Japanese plague between the two Zhejiangs has gradually subsided, but it is not the time when swords and guns enter Kuma and release them into the southern mountain."

"That day I would like to ask Mr. Fushan to stay and help." Tan Lun shook his head and said, "The Governor's Office was full of talents, and the Southeastern famous scholars were all caught in one go. If there were no old people coming forward, it would be difficult to deal with it."

Qian Yuan yawned, "That nephew can't help... He had such a freak with Hu Ruzhen, and he was almost tearing his face."

"Not necessarily." Tan Lun said with interest: "If Zheng Kaiyang is there, Shen Juzhang will come forward..."

Qian Yuan laughed and said, "My uncle has a good idea... Brother Bolu has only entered the mansion for two months, and Brother Shen has only returned to Ningbo, and he has not had time to take a breath."

Tan Lun pondered for a moment, "I will go to Ningbo in person in a few days..."

Zheng Ruozeng and Shen Mingchen had a high status in the Governor's Office back then. If these two men entered the curtain, Tan Lun would indeed be able to open up the situation.

Qian Yuan was speechless, "It's getting late."

"Live in the backyard." Tan Lun suddenly said: "Taizhou brings more than ten maids and picks two of them. Just take them back to Zhenhai."

Qian Yuan's cheeks were bulging. Why didn't Xiaoqi ask me for trouble?

Tan Lun looked at Qian Yuan's face and scolded: "It is not an exaggeration to establish your own hall, but the most important thing is to create a family branch. The child is born. There is no one to come out for three years..."

"My uncle, "The Ming Hui Dian", those who have been in office forty can only take a concubine without a son."

"The Ming Dynasty Hui Dian also said that the film board cannot go out to sea! Besides, I didn't ask you to take a concubine, just a roommate." Tan Lunhun didn't care. He has never shortened beautiful concubines around him for years in Zhejiang. After half a year of going to Wenzhou, he took two fifteen-year-old concubines.

Although he was scolded, Qian Yuan was very excited...well, he felt a sense of excitement like that!

But when he was about to go out, Tan Lun casually asked Qian Yuan to take back his steps and his face became gloomy.

"Does my uncle know how many people obstruct the business, how many people want to jump up and take a bite?" Qian Yuan sighed: "Tang Jingchuan was transferred to Song Jizu, and the magistrate of Zhenhai Sun Piyang returned to Beijing. His nephew did not hesitate to report to Xiyuan to the West Garden so that Sun Wenhe went south to take over..."

"Others think that Mr. Qian wants to eat alone, but my uncle should know the inside story."

"The Ministry of Revenue took the first bite, there was no way. The cost of the court and the Chinese government was insufficient, and Mr. Li'an's eyes were green... but unexpectedly, the second one was my uncle?"

Tan Lun smiled and scolded: "It's really helpless to say so badly."

Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, sat down again, and cheered up and said, "It can be controlled within one government. If the Zhejiang Governor's Office intervened, I'm afraid..."

"Didn't you mention that you are planning to open a new commercial city in Ninghai County, Taizhou Prefecture?" Tan Lun interrupted with a smile.

Qian Yuan was speechless for a moment... I can't say that Ningbo and Taizhou can be controlled by themselves, right?
