"Oh, you say it......"

Zhou Dong nodded, his face very calm.

For Huai Liangren's style, no matter how ignorant Zhou Dong is, he can see the problem. Take out three bottles of white wine without a trademark, and test your own mind clearly, and this question is from the careful arrangement of Huai Liangren, the difficulty can be imagined.

"My friend, don't think I'm trying to make things difficult for you.

As you know, I still have a little bit of a reputation in the French restaurant industry, so the owners of some famous wineries have some friendship with me.

Hehe...... All three bottles of white wine were not for sale as a private gift to me. Since it is not for sale, of course there will be no trademark, and if you misunderstand it, it is really my fault. ”

Huai Liangren, who was full of smirks, was like a fox who was about to deceive the little puppet: "But it's okay, if Zhou Dong is not good at choosing white wine, let me make the decision for you?"

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Dong quietly. If in the old days Huaxia relied on a good cousin to distinguish whether the guests were 'diners' who could eat or 'floaters' who were stupid and rich, then the polite waiters in French restaurants would distinguish the guests in the process of choosing wine.

When you meet an upstart who doesn't know anything, the polite restaurant waiters will definitely smile like a gentleman at you and kill you at the same time.

Although Huai Liangren values Zhou Dong, he only admires Zhou Dong's talent in Chinese cuisine, and he does not think that a chef intern from a small citizen family has the ability to choose a suitable bottle of white wine.

You know, it is even more difficult to choose white wine than red wine, most red wines can be judged by the vintage, but white wine is more particular, if you blindly look at the year selection, it will make a big joke.

Not to mention that there is not even a trademark on the bottle, even those who have studied French wine can hardly judge the quality of wine based on taste alone, which is the job of a professional wine appraiser.

If it weren't for the fact that he was born with a sensitive tongue, even Huai Liang would not dare to say that he would not dare to pick out a more suitable bottle of wine without a trademark, so if Zhou Dong is willing to 'admit defeat', he will definitely eliminate the embarrassment very gentlemanly, and then help Zhou Dong 'choose' a suitable bottle of wine, of course, it will also make him very happy to have a little upper hand......

"Oh, I don't really like to let someone else do the tricks for me, so I'd better do it myself. ”

Zhou Dong smiled and pointed to the bottle of wine in the middle and said, "Let's try this bottle first." ”

The waiter's eyes swept lightly from Zhou Dong's big pants, and he smiled professionally and said, "Sir, do you need to sober up first?"

Huai Liangren glanced at the waiter and frowned imperceptibly.

What a bastard! Dare to set a trap for my friend? If this was his restaurant, the waiter would be unemployed by now.

He and Zhou Dong are like the five unique tricks in the world, and when the fight is fierce, any yin trick can emerge in endlessly, but this is a matter between the five uniques, when will it be the turn of the four ghosts of the Yellow River to show off?

Zhou Dong glanced at the waiter deeply, pointed to the spiral-shaped cork and said, "As a professional French restaurant waiter, you should know better than me that most of the white wines that use this cork do not need to be decanted, right?"

So this question you just asked me to suspect that you are not professional enough. ”

Metal screw stoppers differ from oak stoppers in that they are often used on wines that are less than five years old, and often have the characteristic that they taste best when they are drunk 'young'.

This kind of stopper is used in both red and white wines, especially in white wines.

Compared with oak stoppers, metal spiral stoppers are less airtight, so this kind of wine has often undergone a process of 'self-decanting' during storage, and can be poured out and drunk directly, without decanting.

This is actually just a matter of common sense for people who often come and go in Western restaurants, and this waiter saw that Zhou Dong was young and wearing big pants, which was actually a deliberate bullying.

Of course, he knew that this was Chef Huai's 'guest', but when he saw Chef Huai deliberately embarrassing Zhou Dong, he had the courage to pat Huai Liangren's ass, who would have thought that not only did the fart shoot the horse's legs, but also met a real expert.

The waiter's face turned red when he was said, and he was speechless for a while. Dai Jun glared at him fiercely: "Don't pour the wine quickly!" Hehe, Mr. Zhou, please don't be surprised, he is actually a temporary worker......

"Oh, since it's a temporary worker, it's still forgivable. ”

Zhou Dong took the white wine from the waiter, took a sip, nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that Lao Huai is quite good at mixing in France, I can't imagine that even a top winery like Mouton will send you non-sale products?"

Huai Liangren's face changed slightly, and he laughed dryly: "Fool, fool......"

"There is no doubt that the Mouton estate in Bordeaux has a long history and is of the highest quality. But if I had to choose, I wouldn't choose a white wine from Mouton......"

Zhou Dong smiled: "This is actually determined by the grape varieties used to make the wine.

Bordeaux's Médoc region has the world's finest 'Cabernet Sauvignon', and the Mouton brewing process results in the highest quality red wines. There is no doubt that, like Lafite, Mouton is the aristocracy of red wine.

Unfortunately, the white wines produced by the Médoc 'Sébe', 'Sauvignon Blanc' and 'Muscadé' are not as good as they could be...... God is always fairest, and since Bordeaux is given the best red grapes, there is some discount on the white grapes.

Mouton is notoriously inconsistent, sometimes surprising and sometimes mediocre, and it's always best at making red wines, so if I had to choose, I'd knock it out. ”

Zhou Dong pointed to the bottle of white wine in the middle.

"Take it......"

Huai Liangren took a long breath and asked with itchy teeth, "Don't you tell me that Qingxiang Technical School is so extravagant that it allows students to practice tasting the top French wines?"

"Well, I didn't learn it in school. ”

Zhou Dong's tone is flat, since he suffers from bipolar disorder, he always consciously controls his tone.

"And where did you learn these things?" said Huai Liangren, curious.

"If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Du Niang, will you believe me when I say this?"

"I believe you're a big-headed ghost!"

Huai Liangren secretly scolded his mother in his heart, but his face was still light: "My friend, the remaining two bottles of wine, I don't know how you will choose?"

"Let's start with the bottle on the left. ”

Zhou Dong nodded at the waiter.

"Mr. Zhou, please. ”

The waiter changed his previous contempt for Zhou Dong, carefully opened the bottle of wine, and handed the wine glass to Zhou Dong with both hands very respectfully.

Taking the wine glass, Zhou Dong took a sip lightly, and after being silent for a long time, he glanced at Huai Liangren with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and then said to the waiter: "Please open the bottle on the right as well." ”

"Okay Mr. Zhou, please taste it. ”

Taking the wine glass handed by the waiter again, Zhou Dong tasted it first, hesitated slightly, and said, "Is there pure water?"

"Of course, sir. ”

The waiter quickly took the water, Zhou Dong took the pure water and rinsed his mouth, picked up the wine glass again and tasted it, and was silent for more than ten seconds before he said: "Lao Huai, your communication is really very wide, from Bordeaux to Burgundy, are the owners of the wineries in Africa your friends?"

That's right, I think the best white wine is from Burgundy. This is still determined by the grape varieties from which the wine is made, and perhaps from the moment Chardonnay appeared on the planet, it was destined to be the best raw material for making white wines......"

Zhou Dong said calmly: "What made me embarrassed just now was that these two bottles of white wine turned out to be white wines of Grand Cru quality from Burgundy.

It can be difficult to choose one of the two of them as a companion wine for today.

Now I'm sure you're deliberately giving me a problem?"

"This guy is simply giving birth to a dog's tongue! It's not simple, it's not simple, is it true that my beloved has finally met the 'rival of life'?"

Huai Liangren shook his head a few times before he shook off this very middle two thought, looked at Zhou Dong with a solemn expression and said, "It's not so much a difficulty, it's more a test." My friend, after all, not everyone is qualified to make me pout and cook for him!"

"Unfortunately, you met one today. ”

Zhou Dong turned the crystal wine glass in his hand, and said lightly: "So, soon you will go to the back kitchen with your ass pouting......"
