Chapter 17: The Banquet Begins II

The flavor of the tail is not as delicate as the belly of the fish. The taste it erupts in the mouth is a bit like a tsunami. There is not much meat on the tail, but the taste is absolutely top-notch. This is where the muscles of the fish gather. The tail of the fish is often forced, which results in a firmer meat here. Some people may not like fish tails because they hate chewing, but Wang Xuan undoubtedly enjoyed this strange taste at this time.

Ding Yi looked at Chen Yan, who had an intoxicated expression, and asked Wang Xuan: "Is the fish head really so delicious?" He had never eaten a fish head, and he always felt that the meat of the fish head was slurry, and it was definitely not delicious.

"Tuna, in general, steaming is the best practice. If the flavor of seafood such as tuna is too strong, it will mask its original taste. In general, a good tuna has three flavors, the smoothness of the head, the delicacy of the belly, and the richness of the tail. The head of the fish is the best place to eat on the fish. Fish is also a living organism, and its protein is all in the head of the fish. The fish head doesn't taste a little meaty because it's so capable. It's almost impossible to count how much protein is on a square centimeter of fish head, which makes the meat on this head more tender. The head of the fish can be turned into juice in the blink of an eye. But it's not exactly juicy, because it vaguely makes people feel like it's a piece of meat. Fish belongs to seafood, so the head of the fish is the place where the flavor of the fish is most concentrated, which means that it represents the taste of the marine world. I don't know when, Zhou Xiaoxiao came behind Ding Yi, and he preemptively answered Ding Yi's question.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yan's fish head was finally solved. Seeing Chen Yan sober up from intoxication, Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded secretly, food must be tasted by someone who understands it so as not to cause waste.

Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at the meat reserved for Chen Yan at the side of Wang Xuan's bowl for the junction of the fish head and the fish belly, and then looked at Wang Xuan, who was solving the fish tail, and said in a low voice, "It's really a dirt bun." ”

Ding Yigang wanted to explain, but Zhou Xiaoxiao heard someone else's greeting and left. Wang Xuan just smiled and didn't speak. He was "taught" by Old Man Lin every day in the countryside, how could he not even hear this, it was just a fool's dream.

When Zhou Xiaoxiao walked away, Chen Yan had a few more delicate and delicious pieces of fish in her bowl, but Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't see them. I don't know how he would feel if he knew Wang Xuan's gentlemanly demeanor.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was actually not very convinced by Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan is just good at chess, and he really admires this friend Ding Yi, who is good at writing and playing chess. Seeing that Ding Yi was so convinced of Wang Xuan, he was very unhappy. The most important thing is that this guy is heavy and light on friends, and he has never played with them, so Zhou Xiaoxiao is dissatisfied. But the others are still good, or they wouldn't have asked Wang Xuan to come to the birthday banquet to taste the food.

After the whole fish is cleaned up, lotus root, tofu, and kelp are served in order...... The taste of these dishes is better than the other, so I won't go into them all here. But the strange thing is that the dishes that came up were relatively light, but despite this, Ding Yi, Wang Xuan and others still had a good time. Wang Xuan had a bold conjecture in his heart.

The food process is finally over. Ding Yi didn't eat much under Wang Xuan's instructions, and the food behind Wang Xuan was just a few simple bites, as if he was waiting for something. As for Chen Yan, at this time, she leaned back in her chair, touching her bulging belly and evaluating the deliciousness of today's food.

Just when the people in the hall were about to touch their mouths to say goodbye and leave, the waiter brought a silver disc again, and Ding Yi's eyes lit up, "There are still good things! Fortunately, I didn't eat much just now." ”

"Hehe... That's not the point. Wang Xuan said with a smile.

The disc was opened, and everyone was drunk, and a few slices of white bread had not yet been stained.

Only Wang Xuan remained calm, picking up a piece of bread and chewing it slowly. Out of trust in Wang Xuan, Ding Yi also slowly digested the bread. Chen Yan was a little puzzled.

Zhou Xiaoxiao walked onto the platform, "Everyone, today's finale dinner is coming up soon, I hope you can return it if you can't eat it, you are all children of the nobility, I hope you can abide by the rules!"

It turns out that the feast hasn't started yet! All the people who ate began to condemn Zhou Xiaoxiao and did not say hello in advance. But again, no one loses his temper, and how can anyone who deals with people like Zhou Xiaoxiao have ordinary people? Or rather, their conduct is excellent, and the children of the gentleman will not and are not qualified to come here.

Even Ding Yi was a little confused at this time, "What is this so-called feast that is about to come up?" Ding Yi couldn't help but ask Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan said lightly: "Wine." ”

Ding Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this. At this age of junior high school, how many of the young and frivolous children don't like to drink? As if they saw through Ding Yi's thoughts, Wang Xuan continued, "It's not beer. "Ding Yi is so smart, as soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, he guessed it. But the face is even more fanatical. It's not that Ding Yi doesn't like to drink wine, but because of family conditions, he has never drunk it!

Wang Xuan was not the only tasteful person present. Most of the people present were already looking forward to the wine that was to come. Zhou Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with everything so far.

In anticipation, a strangely shaped wine cart was pushed in front of each table.

Zhou Xiaoxiao spoke again: "There are a variety of red wines to choose from in each wine storage truck, so it is recommended that everyone take it in moderation and don't take more." After choosing, the remaining wine will be recycled, and if you are interested, you can go to the platform to mix alcohol. Behind Zhou Xiaoxiao's speech, I don't know when, a set of crystal clear bartending equipment has been put on the table. Some people in the audience were already a little eager to try it. The frenzy in their eyes speaks volumes about the preciousness of this set of equipment.

Wang Xuan looked at Chen Yan and took a bottle of Xie Bernard red wine, the characteristics of this wine are mild, although it is not the best wine, but the taste is not strong, but it has a little bit of the mildness and comfort of West Asia bathing in the sun. Suitable for women.

Wang Xuan looked at Ding Yi scratching his head, and chose a world-famous wine for him, Bordeaux red wine. The price of this wine varies from high to low in time. Wang Xuan took the 92-year-old Bordeaux red wine. This wine cannot be considered a classic in the Bordeaux series, but the Bordeaux 92 has another nickname in the mouths of wine lovers, called "blood melancholy". Bordeaux red wines, especially Bordeaux '92, are definitely the most bright red of all red wines, like blood, and are on a par with "Bloody Mary". The bright red liquor shook in the bottle, and Wang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, good wine.

This bottle of Bordeaux red wine was specially selected for Ding Yi. Ding Yi doesn't drink often, so it would be a waste to give him those too good wines, because he couldn't taste them. At this time, this slightly bitter and sweet sake is undoubtedly the best choice.

Wang Xuan looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's empty seat and took a bottle of Renma XO, 65 years old. This is a classic vintage. Renma has always been the aristocracy of red wine, its taste is incomparably mellow, and among the wines currently selected by Wang Xuan, it is the only bottle of wine that has a before, during and after taste. This is also the criterion by which a good bottle of wine is judged.

After Zhou Xiaoxiao finished entertaining the other guests, he thought about Ding Yi and the others in his heart, thinking that they would not choose red wine, and quickly walked to Wang Xuan's side. So I saw the details of Wang Xuan's selection of wine. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, Wang Xuan's taste far exceeded his imagination. Especially when he saw Wang Xuan mentioning Ding Yi's selection of Bordeaux, Zhou Xiaoxiao also admired Wang Xuan a little. Later, Wang Xuan chose someone for him, and Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Wang Xuan, forget this bottle of wine, if I didn't eat tuna today, I might choose this bottle of wine, as for now, I'll still drink it!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao put the centaur XO back into the wine storage cart, his hand holding a wine bottle, which was not large. Wang Xuan looked at the bottle of wine, it was whiskey. By far the highest price in the world is not the best wine, but this single malt whisky. Spicy, enthusiastic representatives.

It is true that you should not eat food that is too strong in taste 3 days before drinking good alcohol, which will affect your taste buds. The same is true of eating white bread before drinking. The purpose is to allow the flavor of the sake to spread perfectly in the human mouth. Although the banquet is generally light, tuna is also considered a god-level food, and no matter how light the taste is, how can it be dissipated in a moment?

It was only at this time that Zhou Xiaoxiao really regarded Wang Xuan as his friend. Wang Xuan saw Zhou Xiaoxiao's choice of whiskey and secretly praised it. This is the respect for good wine, and Zhou Xiaoxiao is worthy of his deep friendship. In this way, the friendship between the two seems to be inconspicuous, and in this way, unconsciously, it has been raised to a new height.

It's time for Wang Xuan to choose wine for himself. His gaze lingered on the wine storage cart, and after a while, Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw his goal. There was an extra bottle of wine in his hand, and there were two big characters written on it - Zixuan.

Zixuan, Gansu. The price is low, the taste is not bad, and it is one of Wang Xuan's favorite wines. Among them, 85 years is the best, and the bottle in Wang Xuan's hand is the 85-year-old Zixuan wine.
