Chapter 302: Extravagant eating, drinking, and merrymaking
Wang Lihong felt quite tired all the way, so he fell asleep quickly on the bed, and he didn't wake up until a servant knocked on the door and told him to go down to eat. When I woke up, I really felt a little hungry, and I was still muttering about what I was going to eat at night. When he went downstairs to the restaurant, he looked at the luxurious dining room, looked at the silver tableware, and looked at the servants who took care of the meals.
Lan Xi saw Wang Lihong coming down and smiled at him, and another maid helped him pull the dining chair away, and Wang Lihong also sat down with a smile.
After sitting down, Wang Lihong was instantly embarrassed, I wiped it, he didn't know the etiquette of other people's meals, looking at this row of tableware on the table, he was really confused, although he had eaten Western food, but this super formal and traditional European and American aristocratic dinner, he really hadn't tried it, and he didn't know where to start at all.
Lan Xi looked at the embarrassed expression on Wang Lihong's face and laughed all of a sudden. Her smile was seen by Count Roy, and he smiled and asked curiously, "Miss Lan Xi seems to be very satisfied with tonight's dinner, and she smiled before she ate it." ”
Earl Roy has the natural humor of the Canadians, and their knack for speaking is not to use vulgar and lewd jokes to sensationalize the public, but to be able to grasp the moment and atmosphere very skillfully, and then say the right punch line to achieve the effect of making everyone feel happy.
Before Lan Xi could speak, Wang Lihong spoke directly, and he said to Count Roy in fluent English: "Count Roy, in fact, this is not the case, Miss Lan Xi is funny because she sees that I can't use these utensils." To be honest, I don't really know how to use these utensils yet. I don't know the details of your dining etiquette. ”
While Wang Lihong said this, he secretly glanced at the maids around him to see if they would find it funny, or if there would be a trace of contempt in their faces, but they always maintained that polite smile and that standing posture. It didn't bring a trace of discomfort to Wang Lihong at all. Wang Lihong still feels very pleased, compared with the domestic words, others estimate that you are a countryman from the earth cannon, and you have to laugh for a long time, hey, the quality of this servant is high, and the training is good.
"Personally, I like French food, and I don't know if tonight's dishes will be to everyone's appetite." Count Roy was still so elegant, and he looked peaceful. And with a respectful demeanor.
Wang Lihong doesn't really matter, as long as you can eat enough, it's OK, but this French food is really not the kind of food that wants to eat meat and drink a lot. This French cuisine is recognized as the most expensive dish in the world, and if a meal is more authentic French cuisine, it is generally more than 5,000 yuan per person.
French cuisine focuses on the freshness and taste of the ingredients, and the way of eating is also very elegant and noble. Not only are the tableware dazzling, but the dishes are also very particular about the color and flavor.
French cuisine is extremely particular about ingredients, preferring beef, veal, lamb, poultry, seafood, vegetables, snails, truffles, foie gras and caviar. In terms of ingredients, a lot of wine, butter, whipped cream and various spices are used. While cooking. Fire plays a very important role, such as beef and mutton are usually cooked until they are medium cooked until six or seven medium-rare; Seafood should be cooked at an appropriate level. It should not be overcooked, especially in the production of sauces, and it is very flexible to use a wide range of materials, whether it is broth, wine, fresh cream, butter or various spices and fruits.
There is also a very important part of French cuisine. That's the wine choice.
Before the meal, the maid serves a glass of appetizer champagne and then drinks the soup, which is a traditional custom. Wang Lihong personally thinks no, anyway, this champagne is not intoxicating. Don t dare to drink too violently, although you don't mind, but you can't be ashamed to throw it abroad, and learn from lan xi and they take a sip.
Then there was a charcoal-grilled veal steak, smelling the pungent smell of the steak, Wang Lihong's saliva was almost unbearable, and the maid stepped forward to pour the sauce next to the silver plate, the steak was fried in a particularly positive color, looking very appetizing, plus the sauce with the mix, it was terrible for Wang Lihong, who was now hungry.
Wang Lihong endured hunger and watched what kind of tableware people took first, and then learned to come. When the knife and fork pressed the steak and the moment the knife slowly cut the steak, the juice in the steak slowly came out of the meat, Wang Li couldn't hold back any longer, and when he put a piece of steak in his mouth, his heart screamed, Tai Nima's fragrance, Tai Nima's delicious.
The second course is seafood, an expensive lobster, this lobster is not too big, but the meat is very delicious, it is said that one is about 4,000 yuan to buy, accompanied by some strong liquor, it is simply amazing.
It wasn't until after this dessert was served that Wang Lihong's stomach was completely satisfied, and he had always felt that he was so full of this little bit in the past. Now I really experience it to know, although the amount of a dish is not much, but each dish is a boutique, and it can even be said to be the best, very nutritious, and people eat a lot of dishes, everyone has to eat four or five dishes after a meal, plus drinking and soup, with the last dessert fruit, it is completely a kind of gourmet enjoyment.
In the past, Wang Lihong only thought that this meal tasted OK, but he didn't know that this meal could be eaten so elegantly, so comfortably, and so pleasing to the eye.
After the meal, they took a break in the living room and chatted together.
Earl Roy asked Wang Zhichu: "Professor Wang, do you have any special programs here this time?" ”
Because this Earl Roy is very interested in antiques, and he knows that this Wang Zhichu is a talent in this area, asking him about the so-called show is actually asking if he has found anything good.
Wang Zhichu pursed his lips and smiled, and said to him, "Earl, you are thinking too far. We came here this time to travel, and there was no special program. ”
Count Roy didn't force it, nor did he ask anything, and said in a chic and generous manner: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually, don't be nervous." By the way, where do you want to go, do you want me to find a guide for you? Count Roy looked very enthusiastic.
Wang Zhichu had an indifferent expression on his face, and politely refused: "Earl, you are so polite, I am already very grateful for entertaining us like this." We just want to see this Carlsberg National Park, have fun, and then go to other people's plays, so you don't have to bother so much. ”
Seeing Wang Zhichu's polite refusal, Count Roy didn't force it, and said with a smile: "OK, okay." By the way, Professor Wang, I got a few more good things here, can you help me take a look? ”
“OK。” Wang Zhichu agreed, and then said to Wang Lihong and Lan Xi: "You two have the blessing of eyes, you can visit the private collection of Count Roy." You must know that Piaget's collection has to borrow from many famous museum exhibitions. ”
"Come on, come with me!" Count Roy stood up and led Wang Lihong and walked towards the side hall.
The corridor is long, the floor is all marble, and there is a row of characteristic vine-shaped pillars against the grass outside. There are some paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor, as well as some wall decorations. But none of this is important, the important thing is that there are huge lions tied to the pillars of Nima, and these lions are very scary.
If it's the first time you've been here, and you've never dealt with such a beast, you're going to be scared. Fortunately, Wang Lihong has seen the world, and there is really nothing to be false about these.
Not only is the surveillance camera very perfect here, but there are also so many lions and cheetahs in the collection, which are more reliable than the guards with guns, which thief dares to steal here, he just doesn't want to live. (To be continued.) )
