Chapter 061: Can I Ask You to Do a Dance?
Nanfeng obviously did a lot of work, opening the menu and ordering more than a dozen dishes.
Before serving, Fu Usheng brought a bottle of awakened white wine and poured two-thirds of the amount into each person's glass, Lu Chengyu just sniffed it lightly, and then explained the raw materials used in this bottle of wine: "Coix is known as the queen of white grapes, and I also prefer the delicate and balanced taste of Coix to Chardonnay." β
Sheng Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Chairman Lu is also a wine connoisseur." β
"Sean, you're right." "James also has his own winery in the northwest of Paris, and if he's in the mood, he'll make it himself." β
Nanfeng was surprised: "Have your own winery? So why didn't Lu's go public? β
Lu Chengyu smiled, his slender fingers holding the goblet, and the wine swayed with his slight shaking: "It's just a privately invested project in his spare time, and it doesn't bear the Lu brand." β
"If you have a chance, you can try Chairman Lu's wine." Nanfeng really didn't know that his industry was still involved in the wine industry.
Lu Chengyu said generously: "Welcome to taste." β
Sheng Yuchen's fingers gently rubbed the body of the glass, and asked slowly: "Chairman Lu just said that the raw material of this bottle of wine is coix grapes, I don't know if you can tell more information?" β
Lu Chengyu put the wine in his mouth, carefully divided it in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "This is the white wine produced by Penfolds Winery in 1999 - Nolan." β
Sheng Yuchen looked at him sideways, and it was obvious that Mr. Lu was right.
"Penfolds is Australia's most internationally renowned red grape brand, and although the white wine they produce is not unknown, this bottle of Nolan, even in its country, does not seem to be known by many people, and it can really be said that no one cares." Lu Chengyu raised his wine glass as he spoke, facing the direction of the light, under the crystal lamp, the wine was almost transparent.
Sheng Yuchen said: "Chairman Lu really lives up to his reputation, and he knows such an unpopular wine like this. β
Lu Chengyu raised his eyes to him: "Isn't President Sheng too?" In this paradise of red wine in France, you abandon Lafite, Margaux, and Hongyan, but choose Australian wine, or a bottle of such an unpopular wine to entertain us, it is not an exaggeration to say that President Sheng is the Bole of this bottle of wine. β
The words are leisurely, but they are secretly questioning his sincerity!
A bottle of nameless aperitifs turned out to be the beginning of the topic of tonight's game, Nanfeng didn't expect it, but among the three men present, one was unfamiliar to her, one was something she couldn't see through, and the other was something she couldn't understand, and she couldn't guess the final direction of this game, so she had to be silent and wait and see.
Sheng Yuchen's words were taken calmly: "A writer in ancient Rome once said, 'There is truth in wine, but the truth in it is never marked on the wine label', I personally also believe that the quality of a bottle of wine should not be judged by whether its brand is famous and whether its price is expensive, but from oneself, if it is a good wine in my heart, then it is worthy of being taken out by me to entertain my distinguished guests." β
Michael's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised: "Sean, you are so right, sharing your favorite wine is the greatest respect for your guests." β
The French love for red wine has reached the point of worship, for them, red wine is an indispensable part of life, Sheng Yuchen's words greatly respect red wine, the red wine as his friend to introduce them to them, just hit Michael, the authentic French heart of the holy land, he naturally praised him.
Lu Chengyu smiled and raised his glass: "There is also a poet in England who said that wine can make friendship gush out quickly. β
Sheng Yuchen smiled and clinked glasses: "Chairman Lu's words are also what I think." β
The beacon that was almost lit disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if they were discussing the bottle of white wine called 'Nolan' all along.
It's just that the people present are all transparent, and a little weighing can feel the subtle hostility between the two men, and Michael didn't interject casually like just now, drank the wine in the glass, and left the box first under the pretext that he saw an acquaintance going to say hello.
Nanfeng also wanted to leave, but she couldn't go, so she had to bite the bullet and watch their first battle be evenly matched, and the next one kicked off.
Sheng Yuchen put down the empty wine glass, and Fu Usheng immediately stepped forward to pour wine for him.
Slowly pour the wine into the glass until it is two-thirds fuller.
Sheng Yuchen picked it up, and said: "Wine tasting and tasting people are actually the same, sometimes you don't need to dig deeper, you only need to taste a little bit to know what is good, Chairman Lu just because we are from the same city, he will help and match the cooperation between AS and Qiao Sen, so righteous, I should respect you for this glass of wine." β
"President Sheng is serious, Qiao Sen has the intention of cooperating with AS, and I am at most pushing the boat with the current." Lu Chengyu smiled politely.
"Pushing the boat down the river is also a favor, I have accepted such a big favor from Chairman Lu, a word of 'thank you' is too light, what can Chairman Lu do to help Sheng in the future, Sheng will do his best."
Lu Chengyu was still smiling, but his eyes quietly changed - even Michael could see that he made a move because of the south wind, how could this arbiter of the AS group not see it? This favor is owed to him by Nanfeng, but he still takes the whole thing on himself, and would rather he owe him the favor.
Is he afraid that the south wind owes him?
Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be a favor, President Sheng doesn't blame me for coming uninvited, just make a move without permission." β
"Where." The wine glass in Sheng Yuchen's hand had been shaking for a while, he raised his hand to his lips, and before he could drink it, he suddenly heard the man say with a smile: "Actually, in the final analysis, I am selfish." β
His movements froze, but it looked like it was normal on the surface.
Lu Chengyu smiled and said slowly: "I owe Manager Nan a favor, and I haven't been able to find a chance to pay it back, so I can only pay it back from here under the pretense of public help." β
The topic suddenly turned to her, and Nanfeng didn't react for a moment: "When do you owe me a favor?" β
Lu Chengyu looked at her and whispered to awaken her memory: "Forgot? At the beginning of Puzhai, you first helped me plan the scenic spot, and then blocked the villagers of BΓ o LuΓ n for me, isn't this what I owe you? β
"......" this ......
Sheng Yuchen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Is there such a thing?" β
Nanfeng waved her hand again and again, how dare she admit it: "Chairman Lu is really serious, what to make suggestions, I am just some immature ideas, Chairman Lu has a lot of talents, what I said is not worth mentioning to them at all." As for blocking the stick, the situation at that time was so chaotic, thanks to Chairman Lu's people who appeared in time, otherwise I would have suffered, so in the final analysis, I should thank Chairman Lu. β
The Puzhai project is a big taboo for Nanfeng, and Lu Chengyu is even darker when she says this kind of thing, she secretly cries annoyed in her heart, now it's okay, she is not a person inside and out.
Lu Chengyu heard her denial one by one, and his expression lightened a lot: "You really can calculate every stroke clearly." β
South Wind: "......"
Thankfully, Fu U finally came to the service, and the topic of wine finally came to an end.
Perhaps Nanfeng's expression was too obvious, and Fu Usheng couldn't help but say, "I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting." β
"It's okay, it's okay, let's serve."
Michael pinched the time and stepped back, his eyes swept over Lu Chengyu and Sheng Yuchen without moving, but one of them smiled indifferently and detached, and the other was silent and not angry or happy, as if there was no difference when hΓ© ping, and he couldn't tell who won the second battle.
Eighteen dishes were brought on the table, occupying the entire table, and the atmosphere was quickly mobilized in front of the delicious food.
Michael's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a dish and asked, "This is Chinese food, right?" The colors are so beautiful, what's the name? β
"It's Cantonese cuisine, and its name is 'Dian Jiang Lip'." Nanfeng explains, "A dessert made with fresh lotus flowers, lotus flowers, lilies and other petals and bird's nest. β
As soon as he heard the dessert, Michael came to his senses: "I'm going to try this." β
Nanfeng turned the glass and brought the dish to him. He took a bite and immediately looked satisfied: "Veryβdelicious." β
Lu Chengyu pointed to the one in front of him and asked, "What is this?" β
Nanfeng said like a few treasures: "This dish is Su cuisine, called 'Spirit of the Sparrow', Su cuisine originates from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, located in the land of fish and rice, so the ingredients are rich, and the variety of river fresh is even more varied, and the ingredients used in this dish are the delicate and sweet crucian carp." β
Sheng Yuchen silently served a bowl of soup over there, and Nanfeng saw it and said, "This is a very famous cream mushroom soup in French cuisine, and here it has another name, called 'Waltz'." β
As if he had discovered some pattern, Michael pointed to it again, and Nanfeng replied, "This dish is Turkish barbecue, and it also has a nice name - Jitba." β
Confirming his guesses, Michael affirmed: "The names of these dishes are all related to dance. β
Lu Chengyu obviously noticed it too, and said: "'Dian Jiang Lip' is a classical dance music, 'Spirit of the Sparrow' is a national dance music, 'Waltz' and 'Jitba' Not to mention, they are a kind of dance in themselves. β
"Chairman Lu is really well-informed." Nanfeng admitted with a smile, "Yes, one of the characteristics of this restaurant is the names of their dishes - all related to dance, it is said that the owner of this restaurant is a retired national dance instructor, she has been with dance all her life, and now she is old enough to open a restaurant, and she is reluctant to put down dance, so the names of the dishes are all related to dance." β
"I see, the owner of this shop is really creative, the dance is mixed into the food, it's fresh and fun, and the food is well done, so I'm going to come back more often," Michael praised. β
Sheng Yuchen noticed that one of the eighteen dishes was made of several different ingredients, uniquely carved into the shape of a villain, he was curious, pointed and asked, "What is this?" β
Nanfeng took a look: "This is Sichuan cuisine, the name is 'Taoyao', and the ingredients used are all kinds of mushrooms." After speaking, she deliberately paused, waiting for Sheng Yuchen to take a piece to taste, and then she burst out laughing and said, "Don't look at these little people are slim and lifelike, in fact, it's spicy." β
Sheng Yuchen couldn't eat spicy, his brows wrinkled suddenly, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and drank a few mouthfuls of soup to look better, but his eyebrows were still frowning, and he shouted in a low warning: "South wind." β
The others were already laughing when they saw the cold Mr. Sheng for the first time, and Nanfeng was not afraid of him, and the wicked person sued first: "Who told you not to wait for me to finish, what are you anxious about?" β
Sheng Yuchen was speechless, frowned for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly.
After the joke, Michael wiped his hands with a napkin, and suddenly said: "Seeing that Manager Nan introduced the names of these dishes, it seems that he also has a lot of research on dance?" β
This high hat is too big, and the south wind doesn't dare to be: "What kind of research is there?" I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, in fact, I don't know much about the names of these dishes, and I can only waltz when I dance, and the level is very average. β
After seeing too many surprises in this woman, Michael refused to believe it now: "Manager Nan, are you humble?" I don't believe it, girls always like to talk back, and the more modest they are, the more they hide it. β
Mr. Lu, who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, followed: "I don't believe it either." β
Nanfeng was helpless: "Then how do you prove that you will believe it?" Do you want me to dance a song live? β
Sheng Yuchen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth in this topic: "It's okay to dance a song on the spot, everyone present is your own people, and if you don't dance well, no one will laugh at you, just go ahead, just take it as a fun." β
The atmosphere is so good, Nanfeng is not good at spoiling the fun, got up and straightened the skirt and said, "Okay, I'll be ugly." β
But she said, "But the waltz is a pas de deux, and I can't dance with the air, right?" β
Michael pointed directly at Lu Chengyu: "What's the matter, why not let James be your dance partner?" James' waltz is a great dance. β
Nanfeng subconsciously looked at the man sitting upright, and found that after Michael's words, he also raised his eyes to look at her.
Looking at each other, Nanfeng suddenly remembered that they had known each other for so long and had never danced together.
What does he look like when he dances?
Does his waltz really dance well?
She was curious.
In front of everyone's eyes, the south wind walked towards him, and the hair on the sideburns brushed her cheeks lightly.
She stretched out her hand, palms facing down, and smiled slightly: "Chairman Lu, is it an honor to invite you to dance?" β
I don't know who played the waltz with shou ji, the piano tune is gentle and pleasant, and each note inherits the elegance and honor of the European court in the last century.
After a while, Lu Chengyu held her hand with his palm facing up, and the temperature of the two melted together.
His voice was soft: "Of course. β
