Chapter 55: Wine Tasting
Hong Xiao and Hong Yuyan flirted so openly, others looked at it sweetly, and Yan Yulong looked jealous.
Yan Yulong's back β is very deep and rich, but few people know that he is not a native of Mingzhu.
"Humph!" Yan Yulong snorted coldly, expressing disdain.
Then he said to Wu Lili: "Wu Lili, look at the gift I gave you, this is my careful selection." β
Yan Yulong asked for this, everyone knew his thoughts, but it was just hard to say.
This gift was indeed carefully selected by Yan Yulong, because Wu Lili's identity is not ordinary, and Yan Yulong must take it seriously.
Wu Lili had no choice but to smile and open the gift box given to her by Yan Yulong.
Inside the box is a watch, a Patek Philippe women's watch, a worldwide limited edition worth 200,000.
Seeing this delicate and small watch, Wu Lili's eyes also lit up. I have to say that Yan Yulong's gift is very good, both valuable and intimate!
"Thank you, Yan Yulong, I like your gift very much."
"You're welcome, just like it, we're classmates, gifts should be given, and it's not precious!" Yan Yulong looks like I am a local tyrant.
"By the way, Yan Shao, I see that the watch on your wrist is also very good, it seems to be very valuable." At this time, Yan Yulong's little brother took the initiative to lead the topic to him.
As soon as he heard this, Yan Yulong showed off his watch and said, "It's not a good watch, it's a limited edition of Rolex, it's not worth anything, it's only five or six hundred thousand." β
The students invited here today, except for a few people with special identities, are all ordinary students, and they were very surprised to hear that a watch is worth five or six hundred thousand.
Yan Yulong just likes the surprised look of others, and he is very proud.
He had already noticed that Hong Xiao was also wearing a watch, so he asked, "Hong Xiao, I see that you are also wearing a watch, I don't know how, can you take it out and take a look?" β
Hong Xiao scolded in his heart, damn, this guy is really not a good thing.
On the surface, he smiled quietly: "What can't be seen, it's not a good watch, it's been some years, it's not worth a few dollars." β
Yan Yulong interjected when he heard it and said: "I can't see that it's still an antique watch, it looks like it has been more than ten years, and I can still wear it!" β
"More than ten years?" Hong Xiao smiled when he heard this, and said, "More than ten years is a bit less, and the age of this watch should be older than your father." β
"What, you've been broken for fifty or sixty years?" Yan Yulong looked incredulous.
To be able to wear a watch for fifty or sixty years is not ordinary.
"Don't believe me? You can take a look. Hong Xiao took off his watch and handed it to Yan Yulong.
Yan Yulong looked at Hong Xiao's calm face, and was a little uncertain in his heart, so he took the watch and looked at it over and over for a long time, and the small words engraved on it made his heart move.
PatekPhilippe&Co.1947γ
Isn't this a brand of watch with the watch he gave Wu Lili, Patek Philippe, a top luxury watch, but this time, it's really a year.
Hong Xiao smiled secretly in his heart, looking at Yan Yulong's appearance, he was obviously not sure of the value of the watch.
This is a gift from Hong Xiao's "godsister" Ning Wuruthless before returning to China, an antique watch that is more than 60 years away from the production date.
But until now, the watch has been precise.
At present, the value of this watch has exceeded one million, after all, its collection value is far higher than its own value.
"See what? This watch should be older than your father, and as for the value, it should be able to buy your watch for four or five dollars, right? β
Yan Yulong couldn't tell the truth of Hong Xiao's words, so he didn't make a sound.
Behind Wu Lili, there stood a younger brother of Yan Yulong in the class.
Now seeing that his boss seems to be suppressed, this guy rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Okay, the party is about to start, let's go over there and sit down, drink and chat, Lili must have prepared a good bar for us?" β
Seeing that someone was playing a round, Wu Lili hurriedly said: "Of course, tonight, there is enough wine." β
Everyone walked towards the seats in the corner, and Yan Yulong glanced at the person who spoke, who gave him a look, and then pointed to the wine in the corner.
Yan Yulong suddenly understood, and gave a thumbs up to the man.
Hong Yuyan took Hong Xiao's hand and said softly in his ear: "Be careful of Yan Yulong, this guy is not a good thing." β
Hong Xiao smiled slightly, patted Hong Yuyan's hand, and said, "He's the guy who called you just now, right?" Don't worry, I haven't paid attention to this kind of goods yet. β
Soon, everyone came to their seats, and Wu Lili really took out two bottles of good wine, which were Bordeaux red wine, but I don't know what the vintage is.
As soon as this red wine was taken out, Yan Yulong's eyes lit up, he is also a wine lover, he knows the extraordinary nature of this red wine, and if you want to drink the taste, you must do it yourself in every program.
However, in order to make Hong Xiao make a fool of himself, he decided to let Hong Xiao do it.
Yan Yulong had already guessed that if Hong Xiao didn't know the various steps of tasting wine, he would point it out mercilessly, making him lose face in front of the beauties.
I have to say that this guy's idea is still very naΓ―ve.
"Hong Xiao, you are Yuyan's boyfriend, and you are also half of our class, so this bottle of wine will be handed over to you."
As soon as Hong Xiao saw the treachery in Yan Yulong's eyes, he knew what this guy's idea was.
This time, though, he was doomed to disappointment.
If Hong Xiao didn't have the experience of going abroad for three years, he would naturally not drink red wine, but now, this is a piece of cake for him!
You're welcome, Hong Xiao reached out and took the red wine.
Use a knife to cut the seal from the outer protrusion of the bottle mouth and remove the upper part. Then align the center and slowly screw the spiral cone into the cork, then tighten the mouth of the bottle, and slowly pull the handle up smoothly to pull the cork out.
When the cork was about to break away from the bottle, Hong Xiao's movements became very gentle, and he did not make any sound, and the whole process of opening the bottle was very quiet.
"When drinking red wine, it's best to open the bottle for an hour before drinking it, but there is no time for that today, so let's keep it simple." Hong Xiao said to himself, and then poured the red wine into the "decanter".
The so-called 'decanting' is to open the wine bottle in advance before drinking, and pour the wine into the 'decanter', so that the wine can breathe first and breathe for a while, so that the taste of the red wine will be more pure."
After about four or five minutes, Hong Xiao poured the red wine in the "wine decanter" into everyone's glasses and continued:
"Generally speaking, when pouring wine, white wine is poured into 2/3 of the glass, and red wine is poured into 1/3 of the glass.
If the wine is too full, it is difficult to raise a glass, let alone see and smell the fragrance. β
Hong Xiao's movements were gentle and skillful, full of beauty, and a very special feeling rose in everyone's hearts, as if the glass of red wine in front of him had life.
Finally, Hong Xiao poured the red wine into his own glass, pinched the foot of the goblet with his hand, and the palm of his hand did not touch the body of the glass at all. In this way, the wine will not change with the temperature of the palm of the hand, which will destroy the original taste of the red wine.
With the feet of the glass in hand, the wine is in full contact with the air and the best aromas are released.
Hong Xiao took a deep breath, and the fragrance of red wine completely rushed into his nose.
Wine is not described as "smelling", the smell of wine blends naturally with the air, it just drifts gently towards the nose, as if it were nothing.
That's what makes it attractive and intoxicating.
In the end, Hong Xiao took a big sip and inhaled a certain amount of air, which was reflected in his mouth.
At this time, a pale red "wine mark" was left on the wine glass, like a ladies' dragged skirt, and she was still reluctant and lingering when she left.
After a long time, Hong Xiao opened his eyes and said two words lightly: "Good wine!" β
"It's Bordeaux in '03, it's really the best of red wines!" Hong Xiao said with emotion.
Red wine is different from traditional Chinese liquor, not the more vintage, the better, 03 Bordeaux, is already the best in red wine, compared to the legendary 82 years of Lafite, more than better.
Hong Xiao's series of actions had shocked everyone, especially Yan Yulong, who wanted to see his jokes, and was even more dumbfounded.
He naturally knew that Hong Xiao was doing this the most perfect way to taste red wine, and if he wasn't proficient in wine, it would be impossible to be so perfect.
I wanted to see Hong Xiao's jokes, but he was out of the limelight, and Yan Yulong was secretly annoyed.
Wu Lili's eyes were rippling when she looked at Hong Xiao, and the charming temperament on Hong Xiao's body had completely attracted him. She was eager to know Hong Xiao's back~ β Jing, the secret of Hong Xiao's body, and couldn't help asking: "Hong Xiao, can I ask, are you a descendant of a big family?" β
As soon as the words came out, Wu Lili knew that she was abrupt, how could she ask about a man's life experience in public.
But the words have already been asked, and she can't take them back, besides, she really wants to know.
Hong Xiao found Wu Lili's expectant and apprehensive expression, and knew that what he had just done was a little too much, which made this girl, who had been well-educated since childhood, full of curiosity.
But since someone asked, Hong Xiao pushed the boat down the river, so that other people who had thoughts about Hong Yuyan broke their minds.
"Actually, I'm not from a big family, and I'm not a rich second generation, I'm an orphan.
I didn't have a family since I was a child, but it was Sister Yan's father who took me in, so I followed the surname Hong. But Sister Yan's father didn't think I was poor, and he also set a baby kiss for me and Sister Yan. β
Later, I dropped out of school to go into business and earn money, and Sister Yan has been waiting for me, this time when I come back, I just want to continue to be with Sister Yan, as soon as she graduates, we get married.
As for me coming to Pearl University to study, it was just a fulfillment of my dream. β
Wow!
Hong Xiao's stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was in an uproar.
No one expected that Hong Xiao would have such an experience.
What is it? Isn't this an inspirational brother in reality!
Hong Xiao has already proved his strength and value with his actions, and these are not inherited from a family, they are completely created by himself.
Also, the love between Hong Xiao and Hong Yuyan will never give up, life and death depend on each other, what a romance this is!
Hong Xiao only said a few words, but others had already taken the initiative to help him create all kinds of possibilities!
Wu Lili's eyes changed again and again as she looked at Hong Xiao, and even a trace of affection appeared.
Hong Xiao keenly observed this and was startled.
Did this rich girl take a fancy to him?
Thinking of this, Hong Xiao was intoxicated with joy in his heart.
"Hey, there's no way, this charm is so great that you can't stop it!"
Hong Yuyan hugged Hong Xiao even tightly, wanting to melt his whole body into his body.
Hong Xiao's sentence "As soon as we graduate, we will get married" completely captured Hong Yuyan's heart.
At this time, a bodyguard dressed in black came to Wu Lili and said, "Miss, the ceremony is about to begin, and the master called you over." β
