――――――――――
A minute later, Fang Hong started the live broadcast and walked to the sidelines.
"Brother Gun, what the hell is going on?"
"Brother Gun, how's the situation?"
Fang Hong shrugged: "There was a famous real estate developer who bid 160 million, and then a famous patriot bid 161 million. Not to be outdone, the real estate developer gave up the bid to 170 million, but the famous patriot gave up the bid for 171 million, and the real estate developer was afraid that he would be cheated if he continued to bid. ”
"So, this patriot is here at a higher price?"
Fang Hong smiled: "The patriot got up and said, I prepared 300 million, only used half of it, and then happily went to see the painting." ”
Obviously, whether it is a famous real estate developer or this famous patriot, they all got the news in advance and deliberately came to grab this painting, which shows that this painting is genuine, and it was specially found by Prince W.
Not surprisingly, there will be many overseas Chinese artworks in the future, clearing the way for him.
"An hour and a half later the auction resumes and we go to dinner. ”
"Is it too late for an hour and a half to eat French food?"
In the impression of many sailors and tyrants, French food is the kind of food that takes a few dishes in three hours, and each dish is done in one bite, and the more you eat, the hungrier you get.
Fang Hong laughed: "Today, I'm going to take you to a three-Michelin three-star five-fork restaurant." ”
"Don't worry, I've booked my spot in advance. ”
Outside the restaurant, Fang Hong looked at the signboard: "Ascorolle, a three-star Michelin five-pronged restaurant, has the most exquisite food and the most luxurious dining experience at the same time." ”
Since Michelin has not yet opened the rating in mainland China, the Chinese people have a great confusion about Michelin restaurants.
For example, a local tyrant went to Italy and saw a three-star Michelin restaurant, so he went and complained: "Why is it so broken." "This matter has spread all over the rich circle, and it has been complained about for a long time.
Michelin's rating of restaurants has two aspects, one is a star rating, only one, two and three, which means that the highest grade is only three stars, which represents the highest level of culinary skills in the world.
At the same time, there is also a comfort evaluation, a total of five forks, five forks represent extreme luxury, of course, there are not luxury but the dining experience is great, will use a red fork or a gold fork as a representative.
"When you see the brand of the Michelin restaurant, don't rush into the pit, but take a closer look, there are stars to represent delicious food, there are forks to represent comfortable experience, the more the number of higher grades, and some restaurants are listed Michelin, but there are no stars and no forks, indicating that they make people all kinds of bragging, Michelin judges have come to inspect, and finally they are not qualified, or not distinctive enough. ”
Once inspected and included in the Michelin Guide, these restaurants can be listed as Michelin, but that doesn't mean it's any better than the restaurants in one of the alleys on CD.
After Fang Hong entered, he found that the five forks lived up to its name, the overall decoration was luxurious, and the hall was also placed with oil paintings worth millions, Fang Hong did not speak before entering the room, because in the West, the dining will be quiet, unlike the domestic likes to be lively.
Do as the locals do.
Entering the private room, Fang Hong began to speak: "The cutlery and porcelain are exclusively supplied by the French royal supplier Sesvres, and the knives are all silver, in other words, Louis XVI used these things hundreds of years ago. However, Fang Hong was wrong, and when Cessles became the representative of European ceramics, Louis XVI was already dead. Louis XVI used ceramics from Meissen, Germany.
"666, luxury experience, do you want to try the twisted head package?"
Fang Hong smiled: "I won't explain much about the dirtiness of the capital ZY, otherwise someone will say that I am five cents, just to say that there are three kings in European history who died in executions, all of them were *** periods." However, the poor are still squatting on the streets, and the world has not changed for the better. ”
At least, in the old days, the spirit of chivalry and contract was inviolable, and at least the former nobles were not necessarily able to put their faces down and attack the commoners.
The improvement of life advocated by the West is only because of scientific and technological progress, and has nothing to do with their doctrine.
"The appetizer, the Saint-Jacques scallops, has the same characteristics as the scallops that everyone has eaten. Fang Hong has already started to use the knife.
Water friend: "Nima, Brother Gun, it's no different from what you've eaten, it's no different from what you've eaten, it's no different if it's not suitable for us, I'm not a cook!"
After Fang Hong took the first bite, he frowned a little, and then finished eating.
It didn't take long for the main course to come up.
Fang Hong smiled: "The main dish is roasted Camembert cheese, and the wine is Bordeaux dry red." ”
After eating, I don't comment.
"The third should be a hard dish, right?"
"Hard dishes? The third course is dessert, this meal ends in the third course, this is the standard Western food menu three-course course, it's noon, it's not night, do you have to wait five hours to eat twelve dishes?"
"I see, Brother Gun is equivalent to ordering a set of meals. ”
"The third dessert is the mango soufflé cheese. ”
After the meal was over, Fang Hong rang the bell.
A waiter came in, "Sir, how can I help you?"
Fang Hong paused: "Can you meet Chef Pascal?" I know that he has a big temper, you can tell him that I am Chinese, after the old man." ”
The waiter was slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Chef Paportu Pascal left the restaurant last month. ”
Fang Hong nodded: "Okay, thank you." ”
Fang Hong gave a tip of nineteen euros.
"My Brother Cao Gun, I only cost 20 euros for a main meal in France, which is already very good, and the price here is so high?"
Tipping is generally 15 percent of the tip.
Fang Hong smiled: "Consumption of one hundred and forty euros, a big loss." ”
"Brother Gun, why did you lose so much?"
Fang Hong walked out of the private room and didn't speak anymore, and went out until he went out before he sighed: "Pascal left, the three stars here are about to become one star, the star and the number of forks are not equal, a meaningless restaurant." ”
"Brother Gun, listen to you, do you know that Paportu Pascal?"
"Before, my father took me to an international cooking competition in Italy, and in the third round he was my father's opponent, and in the end, he lost. ”
"Damn, Brother Gun, your dad hangs like this?"
Fang Hong's cooking skills are rated 8 in the live broadcast system, Fang Hong feels that his cooking skills are 108,000 miles worse than his father, and he doesn't know if it is his father, whether the rating will exceed the so-called limit nine.
"My father won him with a reclining Buddha, not a relining Buddha with tofu, but it was also a dish made of tofu. ”
"Let's hear it. ”
"Reclining Buddha tofu is to carve a Buddha with tofu, but it would be good for the average chef to complete it in one day, and there was a time limit for the competition, so my father carved a Buddha out of radish, and then carved a lattice out of tofu to cover the reclining Buddha. The referee moved his chopsticks, and the tofu collapsed, revealing the Big Buddha. It's all a gimmick, and the key is that this dish of tofu is actually solid bean curd, and he won this French chef with bean curd, and later this French chef came to China once, and found my father, I remember being in ...... at the time Forget it, it's familiar anyway. ”
French food does take a long time, just a three-course standard meal, it took an hour, when Fang Hong took the car back to the venue, Prince W smiled: "You're not afraid of some accidents?"
Fang Hong shrugged: "For a person like me, it's only a matter of time before something happens." ”
In the afternoon, the auction market was still hot.
Including the 16th century manuscript of the Old Testament, Roman bronze statues and other objects appeared, which was very popular.
Among them, Cai Qiangguo's gunpowder artwork did appear, but it was an American who took it.
For this kind of art, even after the Olympics, the rich people in China do not value it.
While!
Another lot went out.
Cuomo smiled: "This lot comes from the royal family, or royal art." ”
In Europe, the royal translation varies, for example, in English, the literal word means emperor, while in Russian it is called the lord of the world. However, there is one point, this term is now only used to describe dynasties in Chinese history.
It is part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, and it is a red bronze statue in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. ”
The answer is imminent.
Prince W was seated.
"It is, the head of the tiger and the head of the monkey of the bronze statue of the head of the twelve beasts! The two lots are auctioned in a set, with a starting price of $12 million, and a minimum increase of $100,000 for each bid!"
The starting price exceeded most of the lots in the whole sale.
