Chapter 419 Your fan has some skill
According to information he only learned through short videos years later, a bottle of Double Chicken Montrachet is said to cost over 100,000 yuan on the market, making it an absolute luxury item among wines.
Of course, these days, the price might be a little lower?
Yu Huan couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Could it be that Sister Ru was kept in the dark and unknowingly got a bottle of fake wine just to show off at this kind of event?
According to previous reports, Leung Kiu-po is a frequent wine drinker, and it's quite possible that he has even sampled Montrachet wine...
In short, if it's discovered to be fake alcohol, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Lin Yourong noticed Yu Huan's gaze and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
She turned slightly to the side, leaning closer to Yu Huan, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Yu Huan pondered for a moment, then quickly performed a conversion in his mind.
Then, he leaned forward slightly, almost close to Lin Yourong's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If this bottle of wine is real, it's equivalent to a Hermes bag."
"what?"
Lin Yourong was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and her gaze involuntarily focused on the wine bottle in Liang Qiaobo's hand.
Is it really that expensive?
Liang Qiaobo examined the label and seal of the wine for a moment, then looked up with a warm smile on his lips and said to Sister Ru, "Miss Wang, you've gone to too much trouble. Such good wine is something that most people can't buy even if they have the money!"
"Not at all, it's rare for everyone to get together, having fun is the most important thing. I just wanted to do my part." Sister Ru smiled and waved her hand, her cheerful voice revealing sincerity and enthusiasm.
She glanced at Shang Wenjie, who was present, and knew that it was not appropriate to directly ask Liang Qiaobo to take care of Susu on the show at this moment.
If I were to speak directly at this moment, it would seem too hasty and lacking in tact.
In short, the seven people at the dinner table today are not suitable for discussing personal matters, nor are they suitable for discussing business matters...
After a moment's thought, Sister Ru abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Teacher Liang, since drinking wine is popular in Hong Kong, opening a bottle should be very easy for you, right?"
Seeing that Liang Qiaobo did not deny it and still had a gentle smile on his face, Sister Ru took the opportunity to look at Sister Zhen who was standing by the wall waiting.
She raised her voice and said, "Excuse me, could you please get me a wine opener?"
"Okay." Sister Zhen immediately took out a wine knife from her pocket, walked quickly forward, and asked softly, "Would you like a decanter?"
Hu Jiyan looked down at the label on the bottle and sighed inwardly, thinking that Wang Jingru was as generous as ever.
I remember talking to Lin Su and the others about the studio's tight budget.
In retrospect, it seems that Wang Jingru must have gritted her teeth and emptied her pockets to buy this bottle of wine for this gathering.
Thinking this, he smiled and said, "A three-year-old dry white wine doesn't need to be decanted, right?"
“I don’t know much about this either, but I know this wine should be alright. I’ll listen to you and Teacher Liang,” Sister Ru said, glancing at the waiter who had walked up to her. She raised her hand and gestured towards Liang Qiaobo, then smiled and said, “Give this to this gentleman.”
"Okay." Sister Zhen did as she was told and handed the wine knife to Liang Qiaobo.
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, she glanced around at everyone present with a light and cheerful look, and said in a warm voice, "Don't just stare at the wine, everyone. Look, all the dishes are served, steaming hot. If you don't start eating soon, they'll get cold."
"Jingru, how dare we start eating without you, our host, at the table? We've been eagerly waiting for you to bring back the wine," Hu Jiyan joked, casually picking up his chopsticks and putting a piece of black pepper beef rib into his bowl.
"Haha, Lao Hu, your tongue is getting sharper and sharper these days, and your teasing skills are getting better and better! I rushed back in just ten minutes, just in case I spoiled everyone's fun."
Sister Ru's hearty laughter was clear and melodious. She paused, then turned to the silent Shang Wenjie and said:
"Wenjie, everyone is usually so busy that they don't have time to spare, so it's rare for us to get together. I don't know if these dishes suit your taste. If there's anything you'd like to eat, just let me know and I'll arrange it right away, making sure you all have a satisfying and enjoyable meal."
Shang Wenjie picked up her chopsticks, smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Wang. I don't even know where to start with all this food."
"Wenjie, please feel free to eat whatever you like, don't be shy," Sister Ru said with a smile, turning back to the empty seat next to Lin Yourong.
Lin Yourong was watching Liang Qiaobo open the bottle with a wine knife when she noticed Ru Jie sitting down out of the corner of her eye. She then looked away and turned to look at Ru Jie, who had a beaming smile on her face.
She was about to ask what was going on.
Sister Ru immediately leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Susu, I have something to tell you. The restaurant owner is a huge fan of yours. He said he'd give us a free meal, and then after we finish eating, he wants to come over and take a picture with you..."
Lin Yourong felt as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through her heart; she suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder Sister Ru was unusually generous, leaving one moment and returning the next with such an expensive bottle of white wine.
So that's the reason behind it?
At this moment, Sister Zhen, who was standing by the table, bowed slightly and asked softly, "Excuse me, do we need to remove the bones from the steamed grouper?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru looked up and replied, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, it's just my duty."
Yu Huan, who had already been devouring his food, glanced at his wife's furrowed brows in deep thought. He swallowed a bite of the crisp and tender stir-fried sea cucumber with chives and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yourong shook her head slightly, leaned close to Yu Huan's ear, and whispered something like a mosquito's buzz, soft yet clearly audible: "It's nothing. Sister Ru just quietly told me that the restaurant owner is a fan of mine and wants to give us a free meal. He wants to come over and take a picture with us after the meal."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's eyes flickered slightly as she pondered for a moment.
So to say……
In short, as long as it's not fake alcohol, everything will be fine.
Shang Wenjie, who was diagonally opposite the couple, secretly glanced at them as they whispered to each other, and a sense of helplessness rose in her heart. The chopsticks in her hand paused unconsciously.
Before coming, I was thinking that it would be best to chat with Mr. Y for a while and then find a suitable time to ask him to write a song.
Unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to have their own little world, and their intimate manner made anyone who saw them realize that their relationship was extraordinary.
It gave her a feeling that strangers should stay away.
Furthermore, no one talked about music at all. It seemed that they had already met with Mr. Y at Muse Music in the afternoon.
In this situation, she couldn't get a word in edgewise...
At this moment, Liang Qiaobo skillfully used a wine knife to open the bottle of Mont Hachet. With a soft "pop," the cork was slowly pulled out.
Liang Qiaobo brought the bottle to his nose and sniffed it, closing his eyes slightly as if savoring it. He said thoughtfully, "Montache's aroma is indeed unique, with both the scent of ripe tropical fruits and mineral notes."
Upon seeing this, Hu Jiyan quickly put down his chopsticks. As he stood up, the chair beneath him scraped against the floor, making a soft sound.
He gathered his and Shang Wenjie's wine glasses in front of Liang Qiaobo's table, a warm smile on his face, and said to Yu Huan:
"Xiao Yu, you told me you don't usually drink, but you absolutely have to try this wine today. It's a double-breasted Montrachet, it would be a shame to miss it. White wine, well, it's like a beverage—"
Yu Huan was also curious about what this ridiculously expensive wine tasted like.
Hearing Hu Jiyan urging him to drink, I thought to myself that the alcohol content of white wine wasn't high, and besides, he had to go back to work overtime that night, so he couldn't possibly drink recklessly.
So he put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, stood up and handed it over, jokingly saying, "The wine is secondary; the main thing is to have a drink with Teacher Liang and Brother Hu."
"Xiao Yu, you speak so frankly. 'A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend.' Although Teacher Liang and I have things to do tonight, so it won't be a thousand cups, you should at least have a cup of this rare and fine wine," Hu Jiyan said with a smile.
Liang Qiaobo steadily tilted the wine bottle, and the golden, crystal-clear wine rolled into the stemmed glass.
With a smile playing on his lips, he said in his thick Hong Kong-accented Mandarin, "Montache has a delicate and complex flavor; it's a pleasure to taste such a fine wine."
The atmosphere wasn't exactly enthusiastic, but it was quite harmonious.
The group sat around a large round table. Although several of them were meeting for the first time, they gradually became acquainted through their conversation...
……
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Yu Huan blushed and unconsciously leaned slightly against Lin Yourong's shoulder, glancing out the window.
From this angle, the statue of the great man in the distance seems to be gazing directly at him.
Seeing Yu Huan's slightly tipsy appearance, Hu Jiyan couldn't help but tease, "Little Yu, this dry liquor isn't very strong, but you got flushed after just one glass. You'll have to work on your alcohol tolerance!"
Yu Huan slightly raised his eyelids, feeling as if his head was stuffed with cotton, but a smile still lingered on his lips as he replied, "Brother Hu, this liquor may not be very strong, but it's quite potent."
Shang Wenjie downed a glass of dry white wine, but her expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of intoxication.
She glanced at the few remaining bottles of liquor, then patted the Moutai gift bag on the table beside her and said to Hu Jiyan, "Director Hu, there's still a little bit of this Moutai left, not enough to share. How about I pour you another glass?"
A bottle of wine contains 750 milliliters, which, when divided into stemmed glasses, is enough to make about five glasses.
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiyan nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay, then I'll help Teacher Liang wrap things up."
Liang Qiaobo quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said gently, "One cup is enough for me. I can't let drinking interfere with my work tonight."
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiyan agreed: "Teacher Liang is right. Wine is good, but one should not overindulge. Wenjie, if you don't have anything to do tonight, please finish the rest."
Shang Wenjie's lips curled up slightly, revealing a shy smile, and she said, "Then I'll just have a little drink to enjoy myself, and that's enough for now."
Liang Qiaobo put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then turned his gaze to Sister Ru across from him.
With a sincere smile, he said, "I enjoyed the meal very much today, and I thank Miss Wang for her hospitality."
Sister Ru's smile grew even brighter as she hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "Teacher Liang, please don't be so polite. It's a rare treat for everyone to get together—"
Just then, they heard a clear knock on the door.
She paused, wondering to herself, "Haven't you sent a message to that fat guy yet?"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when the door was gently pushed open.
Brother Yang walked in with a big smile, stood by the door, bowed slightly respectfully, and said warmly, "Excuse me, our restaurant has prepared desserts for our distinguished guests. They are all handmade, including truffle chocolates and tiramisu. Would it be convenient to serve them now?"
Sister Ru instantly realized what was happening and instinctively looked behind him.
Two people in neat uniforms were seen steadily holding plates in their hands, and the waiter she had asked to leave the private room earlier was also among them.
Noticing that the two women were both petite and shapely, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Since this is a dessert specially prepared for us, we would be honored to accept it. Please bring it to us; we've almost finished our meal."
"Okay." Brother Yang turned to the side and gestured for the staff behind him to bring out the dessert.
His gaze casually swept over the familiar faces at the table, then he asked with a smile and a gentle voice, "Distinguished guests, are you satisfied with our food and drinks?"
Sister Ru said with a smile, "Great, very satisfied, the taste and service are both excellent."
"I'm satisfied! I'm satisfied!" Brother Yang nodded vigorously.
Seeing that the desserts had been served, he continued, "Please continue your conversation, I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, please feel free to call our staff."
Say it.
He bowed slightly again, then led his staff out of the private room and gently closed the door.
Hu Jiyan turned his gaze back to the exquisitely arranged truffle chocolates and said with a smile, "The service at this restaurant is quite attentive, and this cake looks delicious."
Shang Wenjie slightly moved the rotating table, turning it between him and Liang Qiaobo, and said, "Teacher Liang, Director Hu, you two try it. I, for one, am not really willing to eat it."
"Wenjie, indulging once in a while and enjoying delicious food is the true meaning of life. Why be scared by a few calories!" Hu Jiyan said with a smile, reaching out to pick up a truffle chocolate and taking a big bite.
Sister Ru jokingly chimed in, "Old Hu, you won't be filmed by a camera, you don't need to be on camera, of course you won't be scared by a few calories."
The voice just fell.
Her smile deepened, and she continued unhurriedly, "To be honest, the owner of this restaurant, upon hearing that our Susu was eating here, insisted on giving her a free meal as a token of his appreciation. He even hoped to take a photo with her after the meal. Seeing how sincere he was, I couldn't refuse."
These words immediately made Hu Jiyan raise his eyebrows in surprise: "Does that include drinks?"
"Of course it includes, but these two bottles of Moutai are ones I kept here myself," Sister Ru explained.
The voice just fell.
Hu Jiyan immediately gave Lin Yourong a thumbs up: "Lin Su, your fan is quite something."
