Chapter 261: Lady in Red Wine
Zhong Li left, Xu Yiming felt that he was staying alone in Zhang Shaofen's house, something was wrong, and just wanted to say goodbye, the little girl seemed to know what he thought, and looked at him with watery eyes, "Is the big brother also leaving?" β
The eyes are full of reluctance, if the little girl grows up, what will be revealed in her eyes is resentment.
When the words came to her mouth, she had to swallow it back, rubbed the little girl's head, raised her with both hands, and held her in her arms, "Big brother won't go!" β
The three of them returned to the hall, the atmosphere was a little delicate, Xu Yiming suddenly didn't know what to talk to the young woman in front of him, so he had to hold the little girl and watch TV.
After all, Zhang Shaofen is a strong woman in the shopping mall, and to deal with the situation in front of her, at least she is not cold, and she began to lead the topic to the cabbage, "Today, Mr. Xie Lu and Mr. Xu, you can take the time to come over, the little cabbage is happy!" β
"Yes, the little cabbage wants to go to the big brother to play every day, but my mother said that the big brother wants to catch the thief and is very busy, let the little cabbage study hard, otherwise the little cabbage will go to the police station to find the big brother!" The little girl interjected, in her impression, Xu Yiming was a policeman.
As if thinking of something, she asked curiously, "Big brother, why is the police uniform you are wearing white today?" β
Xu Yiming has been prepared for this question for a long time, "The eldest brother has been promoted and has become a member of the People's Liberation Army, so he will wear a white police uniform in the future!" β
"Big brother is so powerful, he has become an uncle of the People's Liberation Army, he doesn't need to wear black police clothes, he is so handsome!" After the little girl finished speaking, she deliberately kissed Xu Yiming on the cheek, "Reward the big brother!" β
"Then I'll reward the little cabbage too!" Xu Yiming pressed his chin on the little girl's cheek.
The little cabbage suddenly grinned, "Big brother has a beard!" β
"Ha Luha, then you also prick me with your beard!"
Zhang Shaofen sat quietly on the sofa, watching her daughter play with the young man in front of her, and her heart suddenly burst into warmth, for many years, this villa has not been as full of life as it is today.
The daughter's delicate smile, as well as the clear smile of the young man, made her heart throb for a long time. Suddenly, he said unexpectedly, "Mr. Xu, don't you mind having a drink with me?" β
This request is very abrupt, but for Zhang Shaofen, it is also common sense, she is at home, and usually drinks some red wine after dinner, but at this time, there is one more man in the family, to be exact, a boy.
Xu Yiming originally wanted to refuse, but the little girl next to him agreed again, "Okay, big brother, I want to drink too!" β
He was dragged to the second floor by the little girl.
On the second floor, Xu Yiming knew that Lu Dao was talking about drinking, and the little girl pulled him to the top, only to see that in the hall on the second floor, there was a private bar, behind the bar was a wooden cabinet, and there was always a lot of wine on the lattice.
Looking at Xu Yiming, who was stunned and envious, Zhang Shaofen explained: "I usually like to drink some red wine at home, and my business partners also like to exchange gifts and send some red wine. β
Xu Yiming smiled, "Red wine can nourish the skin, Zhang is always a person who understands life!" β
Zhang Shaofen sighed and took down a bottle of Podol Liquor King from the highest layer of the counter, Xu Yiming didn't know anything about wine at all, except for the Red Star Erguotou, which the officers and soldiers of the Marine Brigade liked to drink, which was the liquor made by the villagers of Jiangyu Village themselves, he didn't know anything else.
But he did know the wine in front of him, because there were a lot of them at the entrance of Tingchaoxuan Hall.
Xu Yiming then took a bottle of ordinary wine from the middle floor, and said with a smile: "To drink this wine, you should follow the principle of new first, old first, light first, strong last, so as to reflect the taste of the king of wine." This bottle of Bordeaux King is a commemorative product of 1973 by ChΓ’teau Mouton, one of the five most famous Bordeaux wineries, and is made in limited quantities. However, even if it is 50 years earlier, the same kind of wine in 1923 may not be more precious than it. β
Although Xu Yiming has seen this thing, he is essentially a country baby, a freshman who has only graduated from high school and came to Jiangcheng for less than half a year, and he has never been exposed to a high-end and exquisite life like Zhang Shaofen, so he subconsciously shook his head.
He also knew that in general, the older the wine of the same kind, the greater the value in all aspects.
At this time, when I heard Zhang Shaofen ask such a professional question, I said embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhang is really difficult for me this time, I have been a big soldier since I started, such a tall thing is not something I can touch!" β
Zhang Shaofen sneered, "Mr. Xu, you really know how to laugh, I heard that Chaoxuan is definitely a leading enterprise in the catering industry in Jiangcheng City, but Nurse Zhong said that you are the prince of Tingchaoxuan, if you can't touch this thing, who will believe it!" β
Xu Yiming touched his nose in embarrassment, and no one believed the truth, so he had to explain, "I usually take it with me in the barracks, and listening to Chaoxuan is my aunt's industry, I usually don't ask, so I really don't know about wine, but listening to Mr. Zhang's words, 1973 should be a special year." β
Zhang Shaofen nodded, knowing that he really hadn't touched these, with an appreciative smile on his face, he took out a set of exquisite bottle openers, which were still brand new and unused, and saw Xu Yiming looking at her with his mouth wide open exaggeratedly, and said with a smile: "I have poured out the best things in the house to entertain Mr. Xu today, this set of Baccarat bottle openers is currently the most scientifically designed product, I have not seen it in China, and I asked a friend to spend 1,500 yuan from Hong Kong to bring it back to the mainland." It's also a thank you for drinking and saving our lives! β
Hearing this, Xu Yiming's face turned red, Zhang Shaofen didn't know the nature of the shooting incident at Ludao Resort, but he knew that the other party was coming at him, Zhang Shaofen was just implicated, but there was no way to explain this, so he had to open the wine vessel and play with it. Fifteen hundred yuan gadgets can't shake him now.
After all, how can he also be called "Xu Shao", although that title has some exaggerated comedy elements, but it also represents his current identity.
The corkscrew set corkscrew consists of a wine cap ring knife, two drill bits, a bracket and a mechanical corkscrew body forged from stainless steel. The structure is quite complex, with a total of three handles, the bottom two handles are used to clamp the cap, and the outer handle is used to manipulate the drill bit. It's really very different from a regular corkscrew.
Zhang Shaofen is really a person who understands wine, and then took out a third-generation wine decanter, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the slender bottleneck line is quite elegant. The difference is that the decanter has a wider bottom, more than 20 centimeters in diameter at its widest point, and a glass funnel at the top of the bottle for easy pouring of red wine.
Zhang Shaofen introduced the evolution process of the three generations of wine decanters to Niu Danqin, saying that the fundamental purpose of the evolution of this thing is to maximize the contact area between red wine and air, and at the same time not let the aroma of wine sneak away, and after removing the fishy smell, the original taste of red wine can be retained and reach the highest wine tasting level.
Xu Yiming also listened with relish, he was still full of curiosity about unknown things, red wine is now an unknown field for him, and he also fully understood Zhang Shaofen's attitude towards excellence.
But the little girl next to her was no longer troublesome, and began to make a fuss, "Mom's words are much better, hurry up and open the wine, the little cabbage can't wait!" At some point, she grabbed the goblet from the bar and dangled it in her hand.
Xu Yiming clearly saw that the little girl secretly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, which made him feel a little funny, it is estimated that when Zhang Shaofen usually drinks, the little girl is not less wet.
Zhang Shaofen was also amused by her daughter's actions, and finally picked up the bottle opener, and used the wine cap ring knife to cut the sticker of the lid, revealing the soft stopper of the wine bottle; Then put the corkscrew over the mouth of the bottle and hold the bottle tightly with one hand to secure the bottle; Then use the other hand to pull the outer metal handle, at this time the drill bit is inserted into the cork from top to bottom, and then slightly force the handle to reset, and the soft stopper is attached to the drill bit and pulled out from the mouth of the bottle.
Zhang Shaofen opened the bottle in one go, very elegant, the most rare thing is that during the whole process, the wine bottle has not moved at all, she told Xu Yiming that this is to make the precipitation in the bottle not turbid, affecting the taste of the wine.
From the side of the little girl's wine glass, Xu Yiming found that the goblet was not an ordinary glass, but a crystal cup, which seemed to be a set of equipment, quite exquisite. Zhang Shaofen first opened the mid-range bottle of wine and poured two glasses. Then he picked up the bottle and poured some of it on the decanter.
"Come on, good daughter, I can't wait, mom will pour you wine!" She didn't have a little cabbage pouring wine king, but just took out a bottle of low-strength red wine that was still open, poured a small half glass, and handed it to the little cabbage.
picked up one of the glasses of wine and handed it to Xu Yiming, "Drink new wine first, first light and then strong, and the king of wine will let it first remove the fishy smell in the decanter." This '98 Ch.HautBrion isn't ordinary! β
The three of them returned to the couch at the bar.
"Come on, cheers!" The little girl was the first to raise her glass and shouted.
Xu Yiming was completely thundered. Zhang Shaofen also looked embarrassed.
Fortunately, Xu Yiming didn't say anything, raised his wine glass quietly, and slammed it with the little girl, "chenrs!" β

At this time, the night is thick, and the glass floor-to-ceiling window is outside, and the autumn water of the river is in full view. On the rolling Han River, a yacht sailed by, making a whistle. On the other side of the river, high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, and the lights are as bright as stars.
The beautiful night view of the city can only be seen in such high-end mansions.
And in the house, a little Lori carved in pink, a mature and beautiful young woman.
Xu Yiming's expression was a little dazed.
