Chapter 338: Hongmen Banquet

Walking through the corridors, the five of us finally followed Ye Ling to the living room where we dined.

To my surprise, there were two bodyguards standing on either side, one on the left and one on the right, before entering the living room.

Their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and although they said politely in their tones, "what a offense", they resolutely carried out the body search.

Luckily, we didn't have any weapons with us, so the two of us quickly bowed and made a gesture of please.

But I looked at their bulging knuckles and calluses on them, and my eyelids still jumped.

Master, I have practiced with my life.

The living room was brightly lit and magnificent. The heating is just right, about three or four degrees Celsius higher than outside.

There was a long Western-style dining table in the middle with all kinds of food that I couldn't read. But the silver knives and forks, plates, scarves, and red wine still make a rural baby like me understand that this is Western food.

Ning Banglan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her straight and slender figure facing away from us. A luxurious outfit is ironed, and a glass of red wine is in his hand.

The way the goblet is gently shaken so that the wine and air are well mixed.

It makes people want to beat it up when they see it.

It's a pity that if people have the strength, they will be called pretending, and if they don't have the strength, they will become a bad pen.

Ye Ling walked closer, even if Ning Banglan had his back to her, he still bowed: "Prince, the guests are here." ”

Ning Banglan said "um" lightly, then turned around with a smile, and raised his glass very decently: "Please take a seat." ”

The five of us were embarrassed and miserable, looking at each other, and the moment we made eye contact, we understood.

Yes, no one has ever eaten Western food and knows the etiquette of Western food with a hammer.

I took the lead in pulling the table open, and they sat down with me in turn.

Ning Banglan sat at the end of the dining table, and Ye Ling immediately stepped forward to tie a white scarf for him. I sat in the first position on the left, and Li Hua and the others sat behind me in turn, as if they all wanted to stay away from Ning Banglan.

Alas, it's a dog, and the aura is really lost.

We followed him and tied our scarves and picked up knives and forks.

Ye Ling poured us red wine one by one, and then sat down in the first position on the right.

"Taste it. Ning Banglan was very calm, smiling and letting us taste the wine.

Li Hua and the others looked at me in unison, looking like "I will drink if you drink", as if they were afraid that the wine was poisonous.

I pretended not to see it, and shook the goblet twice.

Alas, to be reasonable, I think it's a bad pen.

They are all Chinese, what do they do when they worship foreign people and learn Western food? In this way, they seem to be a little more advanced, and other people who do not understand Western food etiquette are soil buns?

Neurotic general superiority.

I took a sip and immediately felt a very rich taste, and there was an endless aftertaste between my tongue after entering my stomach. In addition to the mellow aroma of wine, there is also a faint floral and herbaceous aroma that fills the mouth and nose.

Even though I don't know anything about alcohol, my taste buds instinctively and faithfully feed me a message: it tastes so good that it bursts.

Damn, Lao Tzu once suspected that I wasn't drinking red wine, but his mother's elixir, okay?

I know I haven't seen the world, but it's because of the environment I grew up in, and I don't feel ashamed of it.

"Good wine. I let out a simple but heartfelt exclamation.

Then I saw Li Hua's actions, and almost everyone was stunned.

This product drank all the red wine in one sip, and there was a little unfinished look: "It's delicious, but the alcohol content doesn't seem to be too high." ”

Ning Banglan smiled brightly and praised Li Hua for being really bold.

But the look in his eyes was condescendingly bantering, as if he was watching the countrymen go into the city to make jokes.

Ye Ling frowned slightly, and then stretched out, without saying a word.

"Guess what kind of wine it is. Ning Banglan said casually.

"Ning Shao, don't be afraid of your jokes, we don't understand red wine. "I obviously didn't come to play a monkey show to make him see jokes, I just calmly picked things out.

Ning Banglan smiled and didn't squeak.

"Could it be that it often appears in TV dramas, 82 Lafite, right?" Li Hua looked at the English on the wine bottle not very convinced.

Pull your sister!

Haven't you learned English, can Lafite write "Lafite" anyway?

Ning Banglan really corrected: "That's not right. ”

"It's Romanée Conti in '97. ”

Ye Ling didn't frown, and added easily: "In fact, the Lafite produced in 82 years has less than 20,000 bottles left in 95. ”

She even made a cold joke: "I can still take it out now, probably to keep it as a family heirloom." ”

Du Sicheng was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Romanée Conti, I heard that it is the world's number one wine, and it is the best among them in 97, right?"

I looked at him in surprise, I didn't expect him to know this.

He lifted the frame of the mirror and smiled bitterly and said that Chu Xiang had drunk it wildly. It's not '97, it's not a collector's item. It is a common ordinary product on the market, but the price of a bottle is also more than 10,000 yuan.

Ning Banglan smiled and motioned for us to start eating.

I looked at the food in front of me and wondered if they could knock me out if they exchanged it for money.

The caviar of the great white sturgeon, which produces less than 100 fish a year, and can only be made by the great white sturgeon over 60 years old, and the truffle foie gras, which is said to be extremely demanding to the growing environment, and cannot be cultivated artificially, so the production is scarce.

In fact, everything was extremely delicious, but unfortunately the five of us ate like pins and needles. In particular, the stance of cutting the steak looks like it is about to cut someone······

Ning Banglan seemed to be more calm than anyone else, and he didn't mention anything, as if he was just inviting us to dinner.

If he can hold it, then I can hold it too.

Although Li Hua and the others said that they were very uneasy, they couldn't help but say nothing when they saw me as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Ye Ling removed the tableware and replaced it with dessert after the meal that Ning Banglan finally smiled and said, "It's interesting, aren't you afraid that I will be poisoned?"

I saw Li Hua's face change, and I immediately stepped on one of his feet under the table, and then looked at Ning Banglan with a smile and said: "Ning Shao is open-minded, he will not get along with a small character like us, let alone use this kind of indiscriminate means." ”

In fact, I didn't think that way in my heart, and I had such concerns earlier.

It's just that after the news got out in the big way, I stopped being afraid of that.

Ning Banglan squinted at me slightly, as if he had seen through my thoughts, and his smile did not decrease: "Oh, I saw the news that you came to my house, but it was in an uproar, and I can't wait for the world to know about it." ”

Very simple words, but inexplicably made the atmosphere at the table solemn.

I clearly felt that Li Hua's bodies were tense and on alert.

But I didn't move, and even deliberately laughed: "When you go to Prince Ning's house as a guest, how much face do you have to say it?"

"Ning Shao, we are a bit of a philistine, and we want to touch you. If I don't do it right, I will apologize to you?"

Ning Banglan looked at me meaningfully, and tapped her fingers lightly on the tabletop.
