Chapter 628 Lafite Castle

The classification of Western food is divided into French, British, Italian, Russian, German, etc. according to different countries. According to the different time of the meal every day, there are meals (lunch, dinner), breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea and small meals. According to whether the production is formal or not, there are home-cooked meals, fast food, and restaurant dishes.

People in different countries have different eating habits. There is a very vivid saying, saying, "The French praise the chef's skills, the British pay attention to etiquette, and the Germans like to eat happily..."

The French have always been known for being good at eating and being good at eating, and French cuisine is still the first Western food in the world.

French dishes are characterized by a wide range of ingredients (for example, snails and goose liver are delicious in French dishes), fine processing, exquisite cooking, strong and light taste, and many varieties of colors; French dishes are also pay more attention to eating semi-cooked or raw food, such as steak and mutton leg are characterized by semi-cooked fresh and tender, and seafood oysters can also be eaten raw, roasted wild duck. Generally, it can be eaten when it is ripe, etc.; French dishes pay attention to seasoning, and there are various kinds of seasonings. There are strict regulations on wine for seasoning, such as wine for clear soup, brandy for seafood, all kinds of sweet wine or brandy for dessert; French cuisine and cheese, there are a variety of varieties. The French love cheese, fruits and all kinds of fresh vegetables.

When eating western food, there are also six "M's" that must be paid attention to - "Menu" (recipe), "Music" (music), "Mood" (atmosphere), "Meeting" (Meeting" (meeting), "Manner" (courtesy), "Meal" (food).

Now, there are recipes, music, atmosphere, meetings, and etiquette, but the food is not available.

Although the bloody phantom knows a lot of things, he has never eaten western food, so he is not used to holding a fork and a knife.

Soon, the first dish came up - a French steak and a bottle of dry red, which is said to have been dry for 25 years, followed by several famous dishes: coconut milk pudding, goose liver steak, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, saforo chicken, chicken salad, etc...

"We are all our own people, so there is no need to say anything polite!" Lu Zheng said, "I wish the stars a prosperous future!"

"Uh-huh!"

While pouring the wine, Zhang Xinyi found that the name of the bottle of wine was "Lafite Castle", and the color of the wine was dark ruby red.

Zhang Xinyi is still a little impressed by this name: In 1855, France was in power by Napoleon III. King III wanted to take the opportunity of the Paris World's Fair to promote Bordeaux wines to the world, and wanted all wines from all over the country to participate in the exhibition. Therefore, he asked the Bordeaux Wine Chamber of Commerce to prepare an exhibition to introduce Bordeaux wines and grade Bordeaux wineries. This is tantamount to stabing a hornet's nest, because those wineries are all very self-righteous, but there is only one winner. So the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce shifted the responsibility to the official organization of a wine wholesaler, allowing them to divide all wineries into five levels, and each wine producer in Giront is included in one of them. Two weeks later, the official organization took out their classifications, including 58 wineries, 4 first-level, 12 second-level, 14 third-level, 11 fourth-level and 17 fifth-level. The first-class wineries are: Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, and Haut-Brion.

That is to say, this bottle of red wine is the world's first-class red wine. If it is more than 20 years old, it is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. If the year is good, it may exceed 100,000 yuan!

Several young people didn't know how to taste wine. They drank it with a big mouthful, and Lu Zheng was only distressed: "Little friends! Red wine is not for drinking, but for tasting!"

"I tasted it! It tastes good!" Ling Feiyu said, "Do you really know what wine tasting is?"

"Why don't I know!" Ling Feiyu said, "Isn't it just put it in your mouth to feel the smell, and then swallow it?"

"You boy..." Lu Zheng saw that several people didn't understand, so he explained: "There are three steps to taste, smell and taste red wine! Viewing is to observe the color. After pouring the wine into the wine glass, raise your eyes to observe the color of the wine: the good red wine is ruby red (that is, the color of ruby). The clarification of high-quality red wine is almost transparent, and the brighter the better. The color of the second wine or the red wine with other things is not right, and the brightness is very poor. With that, Lu Zheng was lifted up, and several young people also curiously raised their wine glasses to observe. Although the dry red color was dark ruby red, it was still bright. It seemed to be a very good wine.

"What's next?" Lu Yan knew that her father liked to collect and taste wine very much, but she didn't know it, and she was also curious at this time. Lu Zheng looked at her and said, "Smell, just smell the smell of wine. The smell of wine is the most obvious and reliable way to judge the quality of wine. Then there is the last taste..."

"I know this! Just drink!" Ling Feiyu picked up the cup and took a sip. Lu Zheng didn't know what to say: "Alas...you! The most important step in wine tasting is to taste! The detailed method is to raise the glass, put the mouth of the glass between the lips, press the lower lip, tilt the head back slightly, suck the wine into the mouth, gently stir the tongue, so that the wine is evenly distributed on the surface of the tongue, then control the wine in the front of the mouth and swallow it later. The inhaled wine should be about half a sip each time. The mouth is round and feels good in the mouth. The wine taste and astringency are harmonious and balanced. The mellow and slightly astringent feeling left in the mouth after swallowing is longer. The taste is extremely comfortable, especially the mellow and fragrant feeling of sugar in wine, which cannot be experienced in other wines. There is a pure oak aroma and a unique aroma of liqueur, delicate, elegant, mellow and round... You young people don't know the mystery of wine tasting!"

Hearing Lu Zheng's detailed explanation, several people carefully experienced it and found that "wine tasting" and "drinking" were indeed very different! When you savor the red wine, you can feel the spring fragrance and astringency...

During the meal, Lu Zheng said to several people, "Now the building I have prepared for you is almost ready, but it can't be moved in for the time being. It will be fine after the Spring Festival!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" Binglan said, and Lu Zheng said, "Thank you for saying that, don't say anything!" In fact, what I want to thank most in my heart is you young people. Although those mall allies are said to be allies, they are all elusive. Only you, my life, have changed because of the appearance of you.

Zhang Xinyi didn't know whether Lu Zheng was telling the truth or the polite words, but it was still very comfortable.

The three FBI agents did not keep up - this kind of place is very regular. Even if three people can follow, no matter who he is, the waiter will never let them enter the aristocracy.

Several people had a good meal here at ease. Although Zhang Xinyi could not taste wine or eat western food, he was also very comfortable to see several people happy.

"Xiao Lan, are you full?" Zhang Xinyi asked, and Binglan wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Uh-huh! Eat well! Authentic western food is really better than fast food!"

"Ha ha..." Zhang Xinyi smiled and then asked Lu Zheng, "Uncle Lu, how much do you think the artifact is worth now?"

"Oh, it's hard to say!" Lu Zheng said, "I heard the names of several pieces of equipment you mentioned, but there is no name - if it were a national weapon, it would be good."

"National weapon? What is a national weapon? Zhang Xinyi asked, and Lu Zheng explained, "The national weapon is the kind of equipment in our country's legend. If only you could get Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Fish Sausage and so on.

"What's the benefit of getting these?"

"Ha ha! This involves business!" Lu Zheng laughed when he heard Zhang Xinyi's question.
