Four dishes and one soup have a long history and are said to be the first to be promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he encountered natural disasters, and the food was poor in various places, and the people lived a difficult life, but some high-ranking officials were extravagant and wanted to live a life of living. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was poor and had been begging for food, was very annoyed by this and decided to rectify it.

One day, it happened to Queen Ma's birthday celebration. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the opportunity of the ministers coming to celebrate his birthday and deliberately set up a coarse food and light meal to welcome guests to warn all civil and military officials. After all the officials sat together, Taizu ordered the palace maids to serve the dishes. The first dish was stir-fried radish, radish, and all kinds of medicines. There is a saying that radish is on the market and the medicine shop is closed. The second dish is stir-fried leeks. The leeks are full of vitality and green all seasons, symbolizing the long-term stability of the country. The second dish is two big bowls of green vegetables, which means that officials are honest and clean and breeze. The last dish is extremely ordinary scallion tofu soup.

After the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang announced in public that in the future, all the ministers can only treat four dishes and one soup at most. This time, the queen's birthday banquet is a role model. If anyone violates it, he will be severely punished.

As for our dynasty, people are public servants of the people, so we naturally cannot be separated from the masses. The tradition of four dishes and one soup must be adhered to. Therefore, in many formal occasions, four dishes and one soup are clearly required. However, in recent years, the atmosphere has been open and the people's living standards have gradually improved. The standards of four dishes and one soup have gradually been relaxed. There is no more than a dozen dishes above the banquets for the guests of superiors.

Therefore, when Tian Gengsheng and his party stayed in the hotel and settled down to the restaurant, they found that the dishes on the table were really terrible.

A plate of pickled radish, a plate of sour cabbage, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, a pot of meat on the side, and a pot of egg fermented glutinous rice soup.

This is nothing. The problem is that there is a green worm on the leaves of the sour cabbage. The slices of the double-cooked meat are covered with pig hair. The fried shredded potatoes are really fried, as if they don’t even have a drop of oil.

As for the egg fermented glutinous rice soup, the portion is sufficient and the frangipani is well beaten, but the fermented glutinous rice soup seems to have been released. No matter how hard it feels, the sour taste contains a little strange wild game.

"Waiter, is this the dish you serve?" Tian Gengsheng stared at the waiter who delivered the dishes and asked.

"Yes, of course it was the dish we served. What's the problem?" the waiter asked with an innocent look on his face.

"Is this four dishes and one soup?" Tian Gengsheng pointed to the dishes on the table and asked relentlessly.

"Of course it's four dishes and one soup, don't you know how to count?" The waiter looked at Tian Gengsheng with a fool's eyes, then pointed to the dishes on the table and said to him, "One, two, three, four dishes, one soup, four dishes and one soup."

"This is your four dishes and one soup?" Tian Gengsheng asked angrily, "The last time I came to the Rock, it was not like this! You bullied me, don't know?"

The waiter was not afraid of him glaring at his eyes, so he glared back and said, "The hotel manager was already in trouble because of the corruption case last time! Now Secretary Fan has instructed that everything must be prepared strictly in accordance with the standards set by the superior department, so what you see is the new four dishes and one soup!"

After saying that, the waiter left without caring about the reactions of the "superior leaders" next to the table.

"It's against the sky, it's against the sky!" Tian Geng slapped the table in anger, "Is this something that makes people eat?!"

"It's great. I'm having a public meal and thinking about having a Manchu and Han banquet? Some of them should be thankful for them!" said a diner on the table next to me.

Tian Gengsheng was furious when he heard this. When he saw that there were four dishes and one soup on the other party’s table, the variety of flowers and colors was much better than the ones on his side. He pressed his anger and asked, “You guys are also four dishes and one soup?!”

"We are at our own expense. If you are willing to pay for it, there are abalone and sea cucumbers." The diner said with a smile, his eyes sweeping around Tian Gengsheng and others, but with a very disdainful expression, as if he knew that they would not pay for it themselves.

No, who would be willing to go on a business trip if you eat at your own expense? However, Tian Gengsheng thought that the food here would definitely not be able to swallow. Maybe it was Yang Tianhe who was troubled by him. The hotel should be directly managed by the Secretary-General of the Government. Obviously, it was because he had a fight with him just now, and Yang Tianhe was holding a grudge, so he had the four dishes and one soup!

So Tian Gengsheng suggested, "Forget it, we can't eat here, let's go out to find a restaurant to eat by ourselves!"

Of course, his men welcomed him with both hands. Anyway, the funds for the activity are all in Tian Gengsheng's hands, so it's useless not to eat it.

They stood up, and the food on the table was about to leave without moving at all.

The diner just now said sourly, "Master Guan is Master Guan. The food that we ordinary people cannot eat is like pig food in their eyes. Alas——"

Tian Gengsheng was almost madly angry, thinking to himself what was wrong with Panshi? He even dared not take the inspection team seriously. What are they going to do alone?!

Anyway, I can't stay here anymore. Tian Gengsheng thought to himself that if he had known Panshi City for a long time, he wouldn't have come, let alone agreed to stand up for Wang Yuanqing, whoever they love would come.

Seeing Tian Gengsheng and others leaving, the diner just now laughed, "It's really strange, why can't Secretary-General Yang get along with them? Such four dishes and one soup are obviously specially for the Han Guo people!"

"Without sick, is this the hospitality level of our Rock? It seems that it is not very friendly!" The girl next to him said in surprise.

"It's not just unfriendly, it's just intentional cheating!" The diner was Fan Wubing, but he happened to come here by chance. Because his parents had something to do, they gave the chef at home and ran to the city government hotel with Chen Jingchu who was tutoring him for dinner.

There are several national first-class chefs in the city government hotel, and there are also a few specialties. They occasionally come out to have a meal and change the taste. Especially when you invite Chen Jingchu to have a good meal, it can be regarded as a reward for her delivery of melons.

But he didn't expect that he would encounter Tian Gengsheng and his group of people being defeated. Fan Wubing thought about it and guessed that these people must not be favored by Pan Shi, or they had offended Yang Tianhe, so he encountered such unfair treatment.

Therefore, after Tian Gengsheng and others left, Fan Wubing called the waiter over and asked, "Where did those people come from just now?"

"A director of the Provincial Water Resources Department seems to have heard of it as a flood prevention inspection team." The waiter had long recognized Fan Wubing and said to him with a smile, "It was probably because he had something unhappy with the city, and Secretary-General Yang was very unhappy."

As expected, Fan Wubing smiled and thought to himself that as soon as the dam broke down, your flood prevention inspection team came to the door. Isn’t this telling us that you are here for good? It would be strange if such a guy is popular! But Yang Tianhe is so arrogant, probably because his boss is now at the ministerial level?

If you change to a not-so-hard backstage, Yang Tianhe would definitely not be able to do such things that offend the superior inspection team.

Fan Wubing nodded, then called, and continued to have dinner with Chen Jingchu.

The food on the table here was very delicate. Both meat and vegetables were the chef's specialty dishes, and a seafood soup was also stewed with live seafood. In the end, the two of them also ordered sour plum soup, which was very comfortable to eat.

When Fan Wubing and Chen Jingchu finished their meal, a young man ran over, gave Fan Wubing an envelope, and then turned around and left.

"What's going on with this person? He didn't even say anything, and left the thing and left?" Chen Jingchu was a little surprised.

"Oh, he's just running errands-" Fan Wubing didn't explain much, opened the envelope and glanced at the things inside, and then put them back.

"What's in there?" Chen Jingchu asked curiously.

"Oh, it's just some materials for the evening newspaper." Fan Wubing said with a smile, "Wait for the evening newspaper tomorrow. There will definitely be very powerful news, and it's the kind with comments!"

Chen Jingchu felt inexplicable, but when she saw Fan Wubing, she obviously would not reveal the details, so she couldn't ask again. She was looking forward to seeing different news tomorrow night. I guess Fan Wubing wouldn't lie, right?

Sure enough, after another very hot day, Chen Jingchu received the evening newspaper of that day. A very eye-catching title on the second page was "How long can four dishes and one soup last?"

There are two pictures on it, one is an empty table with four dishes and one soup. When the person left, the dishes did not move. The other is a scene of drinking and drinking. Several people ordered a table of food and wine, and their faces were red.
