Chapter 57: Red Wine with Beauty
Jin Suxi also really regarded Chen Zhiping as a person who entered a Western restaurant for the first time, so she said as she moved: "Zhiping, see how I do it, you can just learn from me." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After speaking, Kim So-hee elegantly picked up the knife and fork on the plate, held the knife in one hand and the fork in the other, and elegantly cut a small piece of beef on the medium-rare steak with a knife, and then gently forked it with the fork, and then gently put it to his mouth, and ate the small piece of beef gently in his mouth.
I have to say that a superb beauty like Kim So-hee is extremely elegant and attractive even when she eats. Chen Zhiping was almost stupid when he saw it, and he forgot to do it.
Jin Suxi's face turned red and said softly: "I'm still watching, hurry up and do it! This steak won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Chen Zhiping took his eyes off Kim Su-hee's face and put it on the steak on the plate. In fact, Chen Zhiping often ate Western food in his previous life, but now he has to pretend to be a curious baby, and he won't use anything, and when he picks up the knife and fork on the plate, he doesn't know how to start, of course, this is all pretended by him.
Seeing Chen Zhiping's clumsy appearance, Jin Suxi couldn't help but giggle: "Zhiping, you didn't take the knife and fork like this, look at how I took it, you seem to be chopping vegetables, and the steak needs to be cut in small pieces, understand?"
Chen Zhiping smiled, and then according to the method that Jin Suxi said, he took the knife and fork and started to move, but the steak he cut was a large piece, so when he put the steak in his mouth, it was not flattering.
However, his clumsy performance made Kim So-hee laugh, and all the previous unhappiness was swept away.
Chen Zhiping saw her smile very happily, and his heart was also beautiful, now he was extremely hungry, and he didn't eat there at all before, so now Chen Zhiping has become a starving ghost, and the food is really miserable.
After eating some steaks and salads, Kim So-hee smiled and said, "Okay, Zhiping, don't patronize meat, you must know that it would be a pity not to eat Western food without a little red wine." I'm going to open this bottle of wine and toast to our acquaintance, okay?"
Chen Zhiping chewed the beef and nodded at the same time: "Well, okay, I really haven't drunk such expensive red wine, I really want to know what is so good about this red wine." ”
Jin Suxi opened the red wine and said with a smile: "You don't understand this, red wine is the soul in the wine, ethereal in the inner life, and makes the soul blend; she is alive, from the gift of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon shine; she is like a virgin wearing a soft veil, delicate and fresh, and the shade is appropriate." When tasting red wine, you have to use your heart. Wine is not expensive, but suitable, and drinking is not too much, but tasting. Expensive wine may not taste good for you, drink more without seeking to understand and no progress, not only use your taste buds to taste the taste of wine, but also use your brain to analyze and record your feelings. ”
Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be so much attention to drinking red wine, today I really opened my eyes!"
Kim So-hee smiled: "That's natural, red wine itself is a thing with a deep culture, and it has a lot of knowledge." For example, the body of wine is an important part of tasting dry red. The so-called body of alcohol means that when you drink alcohol, you can feel the lightness and heaviness of alcohol and other substances that are melted into the wine in your mouth. This sensation makes you feel that the wine in your mouth is very full. The wine is plump, heavy, medium-sized, and light-flavored. ”
Chen Zhiping said with understanding: "That is the same as liquor, in our Chinese liquor, it is also divided into several flavor types, including strong fragrance, sauce flavor, light fragrance and so on." ”
Jin Suxi smiled: "You are wrong about this, their principles are actually different." The flavor of liquor you are talking about is a matter of taste. For example, some people like wine that has enough strength in their throat, and some people like wine that has a smooth throat. A good wine is pure, with a balance of sweetness and acidity, a well-structured flavour and a hint of fruit. The wine is aged for a long time in oak barrels, which provide moderate oxidation to the wine, soften the tannins, stabilize the structure of the wine, and integrate the aromas of the barrels into the wine, so that the wine is endowed with cream, vanilla, toasted bread, toasted almonds and other aromas. Of course, the dry red wine has a clear and mellow body, a charming rhyme, a jewely luster, a fragrant aroma, and a fragrant mouth. ”
Although Chen Zhiping prefers Chinese liquor, he can't say that red wine is bad now, and red wine is indeed the favorite wine of upper-class people, and if you are with upper-class people, you must learn to drink and taste red wine.
Jin Suxi took out the cork, and immediately a smell of wine spread, Chen Zhiping sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is very different from those red wine that cost a few yuan a bottle, just smelling the aroma of this wine is intoxicating." It's no wonder that a bottle costs hundreds of dollars. ”
Jin Suxijiao said with a smile: "Of course, those that cost a few dollars a bottle can't be called red wine at all, you must know that the brewing of red wine is very particular, and it is not an ordinary workshop that can be obtained by casually fermenting grapes." Therefore, before drinking high-end red wine, there are several steps to be done, to taste the true taste of red wine, a wine glass for red wine is indispensable, because the wrong use of wine glasses can distort the texture and taste of red wine. Wine glasses are generally used to have a large rim and body, which is really to facilitate the contact between the red wine and the air after being injected into the wine glass. The essence of red wine is special, and the ingredients in the wine must be in full contact with the air to achieve the oxidation effect, so that the aroma, taste and texture of the red wine can be fully released. It's going to take at least five minutes, so we can't drink it right away just yet, you know?"
Chen Zhiping watched Jin Suxi pour wine elegantly, it was simply a beautiful enjoyment, and listening to her pure whispers, it was even more intoxicating for everyone to get drunk.
After pouring the red wine into the goblet, Kim So-hee said coquettishly: "Red wine and Western food, both in terms of form and taste, are the best pairings. In the West, wine tasting was seen as an elegant and delicate taste, and the appreciation of red wine was even more elegant for the aristocracy. Wine tasting can be divided into 5 basic steps: looking, shaking, smelling, tasting and aftertaste. Zhiping, you have to learn all this, and you will enter the upper class society in the future, so that you will not be ashamed in social situations, hehe. ”
Chen Zhiping nodded and said, "I know." I really don't understand that there is such a big difference between the wine culture of the West and the East. But how should you taste this wine?"
Jin Suxi put a glass of red wine in front of Chen Zhiping and smiled: "Actually, tasting red wine is not as complicated as you think, first of all, I start with the eyes, because the appearance of red wine is an important indicator of its health, quality characteristics and degree of storage." Hold the bottom of the glass in your hand and shake the wine in the glass so that the wine hangs on the wall of the glass. Shaking will release the esters, ethers and acetaldehyde in the wine, so that the oxygen and the red wine can be fully integrated, and the unique aroma of the red wine will be released to the greatest extent, so that the taster can judge the quality and characteristics of the wine according to the aroma of the wine. Shake the glass horizontally from the side of the glass to see how fast the wine flows evenly down the wall. The thicker the wine, the slower it flows, and the better the quality of the wine. ”
