Chapter 39 Sharpness

The food prepared by the Lin family is very rich, with a wide variety of colors and taste. It is authentic and unique. It takes a lot of effort for Lu Hong to recognize them one by one.

There are Parisian cabbage, cabbage mint, white wine French snails, betel ribs pot, frozen eggplant, fried fresh shellfish with foie gras; in addition, there are French bread with tomato sauce, French toast and other pasta; soups include French onion soup, French broccoli soup... and so on.

Lu Hong and Chen Yuyan were stunned by so many tricks. It was not the first time they ate Western food, but in the face of such an authentic and rich French meal, it was the first time for the eldest girl to get on the sedan chair.

To be honest, Lu Hong doesn't like western food very much, especially the etiquette on the western table. In the eyes of others, it may be a model of elegance, but in his eyes, it is something to suffer.

There are too many things to pay attention to the western table. For example, when you sit down, you should have a good body, don't put your elbows on the table, and don't step on the table. It's better to use tableware at a distance from the table. Don't play with the tableware on the table at will. Fold the napkin in half and gently place it on your lap.

In addition, when eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside. You should hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand. When cutting things, hold the fork in your left hand to hold the food, cut it into small pieces with a knife in your right hand, and then send it to the mouth with a fork. When using a knife, the blade cannot be outward. When putting down the knife and fork during the meal, it should be arranged in an "eight" shape and placed on the edge of the plate. The blade is facing itself, indicating that it will continue to eat...

The most important thing is that you should not have too much food in your mouth every time. You can't talk when chewing, and you can't take the initiative to talk to others. Eat elegantly. Shut up and chew, don't sip soup, and don't make a sound when eating. If the soup and dishes are too hot, you can eat them after they are cold. Don't blow them with your mouth. Don't spit out the fish bones and bones in your mouth directly. Cover your mouth with a napkin or gently spit it on a fork and put it on the plate.

So many "no's", for a Chinese man who is used to wolfing meat and drinking, eating western food is simply a living torment and a painful torture!

Lu Hong used to only go to a few western restaurants with Qin Hui because he was greedy for freshness. Like Chen Yuyan, he only knew some rules. As usual, if he wants to know so many rules, he will definitely not be able to say it.

Now I can be in the Lin family without fear, relying on the library that is scanned and stored in my mind. There are many books that introduce western food etiquette, and there are all kinds of contents, which is also the reason why he was not afraid when he just sat down.

He ate slowly and demonstrated various movements one by one like a textbook in order to take care of Chen Yuyan next to him.

Chen Yuyan was surprised and did not forget Lu Hong's instructions. After sitting down, she didn't say much and didn't dare to eat much. Every time Lu Hong had a move, she also followed by step and did not dare to cross it, so she did not make any mistakes.

Seeing the movements of the two, Han Bing was finally relieved. Although she was surprised, she also endured her doubts and accompanied the host to dinner.

Lin's uncle and nephew are a little puzzled. Looking at Lu Hong's behavior, it is more standard than them. Is this an ordinary action that children can make in the face of a French meal?

Lin Zizhi buried his head in the suffled voice. Lin Ge was so old that he hid. After showing his eyes, he regained his peace, talked and laughed, talked a few small topics, and talked with everyone.

In his heart, he looked up at Lu Hong and doubted whether the other party was from a rich family and studied here with a hidden identity.

After eating more than half of it, Lin Zizhi remembered something. He stood up, bent down to get the red wine on the table, pulled out the cork, and said with a smile, "This bottle of wine has woken up. Do you want to drink some?"

The so-called sobering wine refers to a bottle of dusty red wine that has been sealed for many years. When you just open it, a strange smell will appear. At this time, you need to "wake up" the wine. Pour the wine into a delicate decanter for about ten minutes, and the smell of the wine will dissipate. The decanter generally requires the maximum contact area between wine and air. After the red wine is fully oxidized, the strong fragrance is revealed. This process can be extended, and one hour is the best, creating an atmosphere full of wine.

"Mr. Lu, do you drink?" Lin Zizhi asked Lu Hong.

Lu Hong saw the sign of the wine bottle, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Petrus 1995? Ha ha, Mr. Lin, I'm lucky to meet this kind of good wine. Don't you live up to its reputation if you don't drink a glass?

Everyone was stunned. Except for Chen Yuyan, all of them came from a rich family. They were familiar with the brand of Petrus. I didn't expect Lu Hong to say its name at a glance.

Their surprise is even deeper.

Lin Ge smiled and said, "So Mr. Lu is also a wine lover?"

Lu Hong said with a smile, "I can't say I like it, I just pay a little attention to it. This Petrus, known as the king of wine in red wine, is produced in the Bordeaux treasure production area of France, and the price is high. This bottle was produced in 1995, and it costs about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in China, right? Ha, I didn't expect that we were lucky enough to drink this kind of wine. Thank you for Mr. Lin's hospitality.

Two or thirty thousand each?

Lin's uncle and nephew and Han Bing looked as usual. Only Chen Yuyan was shocked. She spent only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. Unexpectedly, a bottle of wine on the table was comparable to their annual consumption. Is this... the life of rich people like this?

At this moment, she even had a little hesitation and could only stare at Lu Hong's face in a daze.

Lu Hong's heart was not calm, and his calmness on his face was all pretentious. In fact, he can't wait to shout in his heart: "Xiao Ba, you are so great. Without you, I can only be a man with my tail between my legs today. Of course, I dare not come here without you!"

Yes, Xiaoba is in hand, and I have it in the world!

With the knowledge in his mind, he is not afraid of anything.

Lin Ge became more and more satisfied with Lu Hong. He smiled and said, "I am better at wine. I have collected a batch of red wine and specially built a cellar to store them."

"The cellar?" Lu Hong was slightly stunned, glanced at everyone, calmly, and said, "Red wine is good. As far as I know, American researchers have found that red wine can help fight pneumonia. People who are addicted to smoking often drink a glass of red wine, which is beneficial. British researchers have found that there is an antioxidant resveratrol in red wine, which can also fight inflammation in the body. In short, there are many benefits.

These words stunned the audience, especially the term resveratrol, which makes people not believe it.

Lin Ge took the lead in waking up from constun and laughing: "It's just a hobby. I didn't expect it to be good for my health. Mr. Lu is the one who has a heart!"

Lu Hong smiled faintly, picked up the high-footed crystal glass with red wine in front of him, and showed respect to everyone. He looked at it, came to the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and was intoxicated for a moment. Then he took a small sip, put it in his mouth, hit it a few times with his tongue, and then swallowed it.

"Good wine!" He gave a thumbs up.

It seems to be relaxed and casual, but his series of behaviors include several necessary actions. The first is the specification when serving wine, because it is red wine. In order to avoid the temperature transmitted in the hand to destroy the taste of the red wine, the part of the hand should not touch the belly of the wine glass, but pinch its high foot with the thumb, index finger and middle finger. The little finger is against the bottom of the high foot to support it.

Looking at the wine is to look at its seductive red color, that is, watching the wine; smelling the wine is to taste its fragrance; the red wine stays in the mouth, and the tongue turns to swallow, which is to adapt the senses to its taste, and the aftertaste is endless.

As soon as Lu Hong's actions came out, even if the real French gentleman came, he could only be stunned and had nothing to say.

A western meal ended with Lu Hong's sharpness.

Next, the prelude to the purpose of this trip is about to enter **.

Dear friends, it's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things to deal with. Now I have almost finished the manuscript in my hand. I will pack up my things in the past two days and go back to my hometown for the Spring Festival tomorrow. As we all know, there are many relatives and friends in my hometown, and it takes a lot of time and energy to socialize alone, and it is difficult to type every day.

Now I can only say that I keep it updated every day. When I get home, I will try my best to update it on the basis of one update. Don't worry, this book has been signed, and I won't let it be updated. Please continue to support, thank you.
