Seeing that Ning Xueqing was still in the dark, and would rather be laughed at than defend Huo Bufan, Pan Simi couldn't help but interject: "It's not too early, let's sit down first, there will be a chance to talk." ”

She was purely trying to change the topic, not wanting Ning Xueqing to be too embarrassed.

As a former flower and the initiator of this class reunion, everyone will still give her some face.

Now that Pan Simi had spoken, they didn't say anything more. Just when chatting with each other, they still often cast strange glances at Huo Bufan.

"Let's sit down first." Pan Simi took the initiative to pull Ning Xueqing and said.

Ning Xueqing knew that she was kind enough to play a round, and if the topic continued, she was going to cut out the backstage page of the Taobao store for this group of people to see.

A man who can make millions a month is still incapable in your eyes?

But Pan Simi played a round, and she couldn't do this kind of thing that was too big to show off, lest people say that she was showing off.

After everyone was seated, Pan Simi called the waiter to bring the menu and distribute it to everyone.

In a high-end western restaurant like this, there is usually a tablet on the table, and each person picks up one and orders whatever he wants. Unlike Chinese food, where a waiter writes down all the dishes.

After ordering an M10 Wagyu steak, Pan Simi looked up and asked, "Regardless of whether you drive or not, you will drink a little bit today, do you want Lafite or what?" ”

A male classmate looked at Huo Bufan and said, "We can drink anything, but Mr. Li, as Xiangning's assistant, must often see that kind of big scene, and I'm afraid that ordinary wine is not used to drinking." Otherwise, let Mr. Li help us with something, right? I don't think Mr. Li will order Lafite in '82, right? ”

Everyone applauded and agreed to let Huo Bufan order wine.

Their meaning is obvious, they want to see the joke.

Ning Xueqing's heart tightened, she knew that her husband rarely went out on too high-end occasions, and he used to drink and play cards with those card friends, and the most expensive was more than 100 yuan, which was still a common liquor on the market.

At high-end parties, red wine is usually drunk in order to be in line with international standards.

Even if her husband works as an assistant to Ji Xiangning, he has been on a business trip a few times, even if he has drunk a few high-end red wines, it doesn't mean that he knows anything about red wine.

Ning Xueqing couldn't help but say, "Forget it, let's let Simi order, we don't drink often." ”

"If you don't drink often, it doesn't mean that you don't have knowledge, but Mr. Li is Xiangning's assistant and a company executive, so you can't say that it's hard to order a bottle of red wine." Niu Jianbin said with a smile.

"But ......"

As soon as Ning Xueqing's words came out, she felt that the back of her hand was gently patted twice. turned her head to look, but saw Huo Bufan smiling at her.

The ease and calmness in her smile made Ning Xueqing's heart inexplicably settle down.

Huo Bufan pressed the call button on the tablet and called the waiter in, and said with a smile: "Lafite in '82, naturally he won't order it, because it's not a high-end red wine." ”

"Yo he, this breath is quite big, Lafite in '82 is not a high-end red wine, do you know how much this wine sells!" A male classmate said with a clear mocking tone.

Huo Bufan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how much it sells, the important thing is that the so-called '82 Lafite is just a gimmick." Many people think that Lafite in '82 was expensive because of the low yield, the bad weather that year, or the use of the best grapes. But in fact, the climate in the north of Pauillac was excellent that year, so the production was frighteningly high, and it was roughly estimated that two or three million bottles would not be a problem. However, so far, in '82, Lafite has sold more than 10 million bottles in our country alone, and I don't know how many bottles are real and how many are fake. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard that they usually heard people mention Lafite in '82, and they only said that it was red wine, but what is the place in the north of the Pauillac district?

Without waiting for them to come back to their senses, Huo Bufan continued: "And strictly speaking, the so-called '82 Lafite represents a brewing process. That year, Lafite used a new vinification process, which was more cumbersome and had a higher tannin content, which made the decanting time longer before drinking, and although it could not be produced in large quantities, it was impossible to give up the quality of the taste. Therefore, Château Lafite labels the red wine with this process as 1982, which represents the special brewing process, and does not mean that it must have been produced in 82. Many people drink this kind of red wine and want to drink a sense of vintage, but they are really fooled. ”

Everyone is still stunned, in '82 Lafite is not talking about the year of production, but about the brewing process?

They looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but whisper to ask if they knew, but no one knew.

They suspected that Huo Bufan was talking nonsense, but looking at his serious expression, who dared to come forward and say that he was talking nonsense at this time.

At this time, Huo Bufan raised his head and asked the waiter, "Is there a red wine from the Grand Cru of Château Auvena Maz-Champedan?" ”

The waiter was quite professional, thought for a while, and replied, "Yes." ”

Huo Bufan turned his head to look at Pan Simi again and asked, "The average price of this bottle of wine is about four thousand dollars, I don't know if you think it's too expensive?" Although it may be a little expensive for the average person, it is produced by one of the two wineries owned by Madame Laru, and the quality is very good, because the production is small, and the supply exceeds the demand. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the quality. ”

This made Pan Simi a little unable to accept it, four thousand dollars, that is, more than 20,000 yuan, can it be said to be expensive?

Apparently not.

Even if she said that it was expensive, the group of people present could not say it.

They all want to see Huo Bufan's jokes, how can they show cowardice in front of him.

A male classmate who seemed to have a fairly solid family background was very arrogant, and said: "Isn't it more than 20,000 bottles, what is there, since you said yes, then have a few bottles!" ”

Huo Bufan smiled and said to the waiter: "Then serve three bottles first, and please help me bring 60ml acCroizet1858ie, GraessereuseVieillissemeioProlouraBitters." ”

A series of nouns made everyone a little dumbfounded, what are you talking about?

Only the waiter's eyes lit up slightly when he listened, and his attitude towards Huo Bufan became more and more respectful: "Sir, do you want to mix cocktails yourself?" Do you need to provide us? ”

The English words that Huo Bufan speaks are the kind of words that are not commonly used in life, but are in the highest-end category of cocktail blending.

The people who can know these are not ordinary people, no matter what others think, anyway, in the eyes of the waiter, Huo Bufan is already the most tasteful person in the audience.

Huo Bufan shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need any utensils, you can just take it like this." ”

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter bowed slightly respectfully before retreating.

After the door of the room was closed, there was silence inside, and everyone was a little stunned by Huo Bufan's series of English nouns, not knowing what to say.

The scene looked a little embarrassing, but fortunately, although Ning Xueqing was simple, she was very kind.

Knowing that everyone was stunned and couldn't speak, she took the initiative to ask, "What were the tannins you just said?" ”

"It's the antioxidant in the grape skin that has a great impact on the decanting time." Huo Bufan explained casually, and then said with a smile: "Although the quality of the Grand Cru red wine of Château Auvena is good, you may not like to drink this dry red, so I will use it to make you a cocktail, which should be to your liking." ”

Ning Xueqing nodded again and again, and said with joy and pride: "As long as you tune it, I like it!" ”

A group of people wanted to vomit blood when they heard it, didn't they say that it was good to make this guy embarrassed, how could it make the goddess satisfied with him.

Of course Ning Xueqing was very satisfied, although she didn't know what her husband was talking about, but it sounded very powerful. The most important thing is that all the classmates were calmed, and for this alone, Ning Xueqing was proud enough.

Niu Jianbin was the first person to stir up trouble just now, and now he was very embarrassed, and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to seem to know a lot about red wine, it's really unseemly." ”

"Maybe he just happened to see this red wine, and if he was asked to change another one, he wouldn't know." And humane.

These words made the scene embarrassing again, and many people looked at the person who spoke, and the person's face was flushed and a little cramped.

In fact, what he said was what everyone was saying, but on such an occasion, no one would really say it.

It's okay to laugh at people, but everyone has passed the level, and you still don't force to find a fight, which is a bit too much.
