Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dinner

Li Lan was very surprised, because she suddenly received a call from Sun Mingduo, and the other party on the phone only hurriedly mentioned going to "Happiness" for dinner at six o'clock in the evening, and hung up the phone without waiting for Li Lan to agree.

He didn't know what the name of this meal was, but looking at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, thinking: This guy deserves to be called He Lilang's second, and he is really unreliable, how can he invite someone to eat only an hour in advance?

I had to take a taxi immediately and rush to "Happiness".

Half an hour later, Li Lan got out of the car, and in front of him was a plaque with the words "Happiness Li" written in the wrong color and gold, and the doorman at the door did not turn a blind eye because he saw that Li Lan had taken a taxi.

The doorman guided Li Lan into the hall and to the front desk.

Happiness is the only high-end club in the county-level city of Rongcheng City, it is only 12 floors high, but the decoration of each floor is gorgeous, the middle of the hall is a left and a right two fully transparent glass silver elevators, you can clearly see that there are well-dressed passengers.

The elevators up and down have a bit of sci-fi visual effects in this year.

Li Lan also came here for the first time, he didn't have the opportunity to come here before, so under the introduction of the front desk, he learned that the first floor of "Happiness Lane" was a café, the second floor was a restaurant, the third to ninth floors were all hotel rooms, the tenth floor was a gym, the eleventh floor was a massage, and the twelfth floor was a nightclub.

"I'll go to the box of the Yufei Building, the restaurant on the second floor," Li Lan interrupted the beautiful woman at the front desk who was about to continue to make an introduction, and said directly.

"Okay, sir, please go directly to the second floor, and there will be a special service staff at the elevator entrance on the second floor to guide you. A sweet voice rang out at the front desk.

Li Lan nodded and got on the elevator directly.

After arriving at the second floor, there were two waiters, a man and a woman, standing at the door, and when they saw a man coming up, the waitress who looked like a fresh one greeted her and took Li Lan to the box.

The box was empty, Li Lan casually found a seat, turned back to the waitress and said kindly: "My friend will come over in a while, you can go and get busy first." ”

After about ten minutes, someone pushed the door open.

The first one was Sun Mingduo, who was walking outside the figure at the moment, compared to everyone else, they were calm, but a pair of eyes couldn't help but look around.

"Lao Li, come so early?" asked Sun Mingduo with a smile as he sat on the main seat.

"I also served someone, I set dinner at six o'clock, and I didn't notify others until five o'clock. Li Lan looked at Sun Mingduo sarcastically.

Of course, Sun Mingduo knows that he is at fault, that is, everyone has a good relationship and is not particular, if you invite customers to dinner in the society and only notify people one hour in advance, the other party will definitely think that you are not sincere.

So he smiled and quickly asked the waiter to bring the menu, diverting the topic.

As soon as the menu was picked up, before it was opened, I heard Sun Mingduo shouting in a tone like 2580,000 yuan: "Give me a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite first." ”

When the waiter heard this, he asked kindly: "Sir, the price of 82-year-old Lafite is now 54,800 yuan, and there are so many people here, one bottle is definitely not enough, you see?"

Sun Mingduo almost choked after taking a sip of tea, and suddenly his face was a little ugly, he could always hear the 82-year-old Lafite in Hong Kong films, and today he wanted to pretend to be a B, but how could he have thought it would be so expensive?

Although he is now a rich second generation, if there is no accident, the monthly living expenses are only 50,000 yuan.

But I just had a showdown with my roommates today and said that I was a rich second generation, and I formed a bureau again, so I can't slap my face so quickly, right?

Li Lan glanced at this delicate and kind waiter with appreciation, it really deserved to be a high-end club, and even the emotional intelligence of the service staff was so high, and her words were subtle and did not give people a sense of ridicule.

"Don't take the 82-year-old Lafite, it will take two hours to sober up, and the meal will be eaten early, beauty, change 2 bottles of 10-year-old Lafite. Li Lan saw Sun Mingduo, who couldn't get off the stage, and opened his mouth to help relieve the siege.

The waiter saw Sun Mingduo nodding and immediately wrote it down.

Then Sun Mingduo ordered eight dishes, one soup, and finally asked the waiter to help recommend four dishes, seeing that he was going to continue ordering, Li Lan quickly stood up and snatched the menu in his hand and handed it to the waiter.

"It's not an outsider, it's almost enough, it's not enough for us to order more. ”

The waiter who memorized the dishes turned and left.

Sun Mingduo looked at Li Lan with some gratitude and asked, "Lao Li, do you have any research on red wine?"

The others were already fresh, chatting while eating free dried fruits, and when they heard Sun Mingduo's words, they all looked at Li Lan with curiosity.

Li Lan smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "I haven't studied red wine, I've just watched a lot of movies." ”

Everyone obviously didn't believe this, and they all thought that Li Lan was perfunctory and pretending to be low-key.

"What movie?" But He Lilang doesn't care so much, so he has to ask if he is curious.

In fact, Li Lan really didn't say nonsense, he really learned about red wine from movies.

"Single men and women," Li Lan replied, but looked at everyone with a confused face, so he continued, "The one that was released in March this year was played by Gu Tianle, Gao Yuanyuan and Wu Yanzu. ”

Everyone was still not impressed, only Cheng Tiansong, who was the most homely, asked uncertainly: "Is it the movie of the love triangle storyline directed by To Qifeng?"

"Damn, Lao Li, you can see a lot of miscellaneous, you can see the love triangle. Seeing Li Lan nodding, it was He Lilang who said in surprise.

"It's good to open the book, you see I didn't learn the knowledge of red wine from it, otherwise we wouldn't be able to drink wine after dinner today. Li Lan replied with a smile.

"Dangdang" A few people were chatting, and there was a knock on the door of the box.

"Enter~" Sun Mingduo shouted.

Then I saw the delicate waiter with a white glove, holding a plate in his hand, and on the plate were two bottles of Lafite red wine whose name was finally seen.

After the waiter put the two bottles of wine on the table, he immediately took out a decanter from the drawer of the box, then took out a seahorse knife corkscrew from his pocket, and finally looked up and asked everyone with a smile: "Excuse me, do you need help decanting the wine?"

It was the first time for everyone to drink such an expensive wine, who knew if there was anything to pay attention to, so when they heard this, everyone looked at Li Lan.

"Help wake up the bar, I'm sorry for you. Li Lan said.

In fact, he didn't know the specific operation, he used to drink red wine and always broke the cork.

And in his opinion, going to a high-end place to eat is the service to be served, otherwise why is a high-end place more expensive than other places?

So below, we saw a series of complicated operations for the waiter.

I saw that she first carefully wiped the bottle mouth with a clean tablecloth, then picked up the seahorse knife bottle opener, opened the opening cutter, held the bottle with one hand, and held the cutting knife with the other hand, and cut half a circle clockwise along the lower edge of the annular convex part of the bottle mouth, and then crossed the other half circle counterclockwise to completely cut off the bottle seal.

After cutting the bottle seal, wipe the bottle mouth with a damp cloth, dry it with a napkin, and then pull out the cork with a crisp sound.

Intense smoky, blackcurrant and vegetal aromas from the moment you open the bottle, as well as clear notes of chocolate and violet flowers, graphite and a hint of cedar. The elegant and fragrant aroma is rich and mellow, as if the onion can be peeled off layer by layer, or the spiral steps step by step, the layers are clear and integrated.

She then lit a candle as a light source, then lifted the bottle, looked at the bottom of the bottle through the light source, and after making sure that the sediment had not contaminated the liquid above, she slowly poured the wine into the decanter with her eyes at 90 degrees from the bottle.

Everyone, including Li Lan, was dumbfounded, and the waiter's elegant movements were as devout as a pilgrimage.

"Papa" was led by Li Lan and cheered up a round of applause for the waiters.

"Gentlemen, since 10 years is short from this year, it is recommended to wake up for about 15 minutes before drinking, and I wish you a pleasant meal. With that, the waiter bent over and bowed at 90 degrees and left the private room.

Soon the dishes were ready, and the chef's carving was like a miracle workmanship, and before they tasted it, everyone felt that their tongues were full of relish, and it was worth the trip.

For example, after frying, the meat particles are turned over like hair, the head is open, the tail is slightly upturned, and the shape is like a squirrel, which is very beautiful;

The flower-like blooming "chrysanthemum tofu" that can thread the needle, and the tender tofu like clotted fat are held in the hand, trembling, and seem to be broken at a slight touch;

Thin as cicada wings, translucent and shiny fat slices wrap the same thickness of lean meat after cooking, charred and fragrant, fat but not greasy pheasant rolls;

..........

Wang Bohan asked everyone not to move the chopsticks first, only to see him take out his mobile phone and take pictures of the exquisite dishes one by one, which made Li Lan can't help but recall the girls after the meager popularity later.

When he finished filming, Sun Mingduo lifted the wine glass and said: "Brothers, everyone used to help me a lot, but now that I have money, I promise to bring everyone to eat and drink spicy food, come, do it!"

As he spoke, he tilted his head and poured all the purple liquid in the cup into his throat.

Except for Wang Bohan, who grabbed the wine glass and shook it and took a sip gently, everyone else was dry.

Looking at everyone's dissatisfied eyes, Wang Bohan explained: "Red wine is to be tasted, and if you drink it like this, it is a cow chewing peony, and you can't taste it." ”

"Cut, drink a drink, what doesn't taste good. He Lilang rolled his eyes and said.

Wang Bohan immediately retorted: "It's not right for you to say that, red wine must be elegant, otherwise it will be laughed at as a nouveau riche." ”

"Which.."

"Eat, eat, I'm hungry, and the food will be cold after a while. Li Lan saw Sun Mingduo frowning, and immediately interrupted He Lilang's words and said.

But he disdained Wang Bohan's words in his heart, and he was very particular about it without matching his status and status, and he could only be said to be a vassal and elegant, and even if he knew the world, he would be regarded as fresh and refined.

What's more, Wang Bohan obviously learned a few words from film and television dramas, and he didn't watch that guy even take pictures of red wine.

But this kind of obviously contemptuous words, Li Lan would definitely not say it on such an occasion.

The delicacies are paired with fruity wines, and the people who are already hungry will start to feast.
