Chapter 16 Grilled skewers with red wine
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun slowly sets, and dusk comes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rosy sunset shone on the vast vineyards, giving this land of hope another golden coat.
At this time, on the lawn of Château Person, a group of people are constantly busy.
They were Antoine's family and Ye Chen and Anna.
There are three wineries on this hillside in the town of Erwin, namely Château Poson in Yechen, Château Miller in Old Miller, and Château Knights belonging to the Sánchez family.
Needless to say, Miller Winery wanted to make a hostile takeover of Posong Winery from the beginning, so their relationship with Ye Chen was not very good. The Knight Winery is the opposite, although the two brothers and sisters who manage the winery have not met, but in fact, Ye Chen still owes them a favor in the matter of Bona.
Anna was largely credited to Bona for inviting him, but it was rare for the siblings to acquiesce to Bona to help with the winemaking. After all, Beauna's identity is the chief winemaker of Knight Winery, and if Knight Winery refuses, Boehner probably won't dare to help.
So Ye Chen, who felt embarrassed, invited the two brothers and sisters to come as guests through Bona, and was going to invite them to a meal and return the favor.
On the lawn, Ye Chen was instructing everyone to prepare the barbecue according to the domestic way, charcoal, spices and barbecue grills. And Anna and the little girl Margaret watched with interest from the side, and from time to time they would make trouble, ignoring Ye Chen and the others who were already busy sweating.
The barbecue was just ready when a blue sedan appeared at the gate of the winery's fence.
The car door opened, and a beautiful woman in a long blue dress and a cream boy in a suit were the first to get out of the car, followed by Bona and his freckled schoolgirl.
They all wore a very formal attire, which is also a custom of the French to attend banquets.
Seeing that the guests were coming, Ye Chen hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand to push open the fence gate, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Sanchez and Young Master, welcome to Posong Winery!" ”
The temperament beauty glanced at Ye Chen, revealing a kind but at the same time repulsive smile.
"Just call me Elaine, thank you for the invitation." Elaine smiled lightly, a pair of good-looking dimples appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a pair of light green eyes were very smart, looking at Ye Chen without a trace.
"Call me Jacques, hello, interesting Chinese friend!" Elaine walked into the small courtyard, and then his younger brother followed and shook Ye Chen's hand warmly.
Looking at the easy-going appearance of the two sisters and brothers, Ye Chen was relieved, thinking that it seemed that the two sisters and brothers should be very easy to deal with.
The last to walk into the manor was Bona and the schoolgirl named Alina, through the past few days of getting along, Bona and Ye Chen have become very familiar. Before walking into the manor, Bona leaned into Ye Chen's ear and whispered, "I advise you, don't beat Miss Elaine's idea, otherwise you will die ugly." ”
Bona's endless words made Ye Chen feel embarrassed, and he admitted that he did take a few more glances at Elaine just now, after all, a beauty of Elaine's level, he didn't have much chance to see it before.
But this doesn't mean that I will fight her idea, I am appreciating it, okay, appreciating!
"Don't worry, I'm not that self-conscious." Ye Chen said self-deprecatingly. He is not an idiot, how can a beauty of this level be coveted by himself.
"If only you understood." Bona nodded, and walked into the manor with Alina in his arms.
On the lawn, a chic-shaped barbecue grill was placed next to the table, and seeing the charcoal burning at the base of the barbecue, Elaine and the others couldn't help but take a few more looks, and Jacques exclaimed: "Oh my God, what is this!" ”
"It's barbecue." Ye Chen carefully flipped the skewers in his hand and explained at the same time.
By this time, the skewers were already giving off an alluring aroma, mixed with cumin and various spices to make the barbecue more tempting, and this aroma was simply fatal for the French who had never eaten kebabs.
"This is different from the barbecue we often eat, and the taste is much better than what we usually eat, you hurry up, I can't wait!" Looking at the oily skewers on the grill, Jacques exclaimed excitedly.
"I eat this kind of barbecue a lot in my hometown, and the smell of this barbecue fills the streets every summer, and it's a wonderful feeling." Ye Chen recalled the skewer street in his hometown, and said with his eyes closed.
"If you have a chance, you must take me to your hometown." Jacques said enviously.
"The taste of this barbecue is really different." The beautiful Elaine smelled the aroma of barbecue and said reservedly.
"Oh, yes, and wine!" Jacques snapped his fingers and staggered back to the car, carrying a wooden box from it.
Opening the wooden box, inside the wooden box are four beautifully packaged bottles of wine, the color of the wine is rosy red, which is obviously a specialty of Provence, rosé wine.
"This is the winery's 05-year-old rosé wine, with a mellow taste, and it is a rare boutique in recent years!" Jacques said teasingly.
"The quality of the wine has a lot to do with the vintage, and '05 was the best vintage of the years. Generally speaking, 05-year-old wines are more expensive in the market. Bona was afraid that Ye Chen would be timid, so he hurriedly whispered to him on the side.
"How high is the price?" Ye Chen also wanted to know the price of wine by the way, so he asked casually.
Boehne pondered for a while and said: "Although Château Cavalier can't catch up with the famous wineries of Château Lafite and Mouton, it is still very famous in the rosé wine, like this bottle of dry red, the market price is at least 400 US dollars." ”
$400, that's 2,800 yuan a bottle, and four bottles is close to 10,000 dollars!
Thinking about this number, Ye Chen's hand holding the skewers trembled violently, and he almost threw the skewers on the ground.
On the other side, Jacques had already opened one of the bottles of red wine with a bottle opener, and he said triumphantly while opening the red wine: "Of course, such a delicious barbecue must be paired with the right red wine." Ye, these bottles of red wine were originally meant to be given to you, now let's drink them directly! ”
"Damn, I only use beer with skewers for more than two dollars at home at most, you can't be such a loser if you have money, and the most important thing is that this red wine is still given to me!" Seeing Jacques skillfully pouring the red wine into the wine glass over there, Ye Chen wanted to cry without tears, so he could only roar silently in his heart, and then brought the skewers up.
When he got to the table, he said very disobediently: "This red wine and grilled skewers are a perfect match, Jacques, you are so good, you can come up with such a powerful idea." ”
Poof, Elaine, who was watching the fire on the side, looked at Ye Chen's distressed appearance, covered her mouth and snickered.
