Chapter 323: Wine, White Truffles

More than a dozen dishes were served smoothly, so that Lu Yao and the others were immersed in the feast of food, and they had no time to think about other irrelevant things.

It took Lu Yao and them an hour and a half to enjoy this gluttonous meal, and there was a chef in the restaurant throughout the whole process, so that Lu Yao and they enjoyed extremely respectful treatment.

After finishing the meal, Lu Yao gave a thumbs up to Chef Robert and said, "This is the most perfect food I have enjoyed in Italy." ”

Robert showed a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, your satisfaction is the greatest honor of our restaurant, and we are also happy to serve you!"

As the head chef of a three-Michelin restaurant, Robert is naturally worth a lot of money, but he has not received a black card, so he still respects black card users.

Su Jingya pursed her lips and smiled, she was speechless at her husband's praise, this was the first time he went abroad, and it was also the first time he tasted a Michelin restaurant, so he gave the other party a great compliment, making others mistakenly think that he had been to many Michelin restaurants.

Although the dishes prepared by the two chefs of Vittorio's restaurant are delicious, Lu Yao pays more attention to the source of the ingredients that make the delicious food.

Lu Yao pretended to be very interested and asked: "Mr. Robert, I am very satisfied with the white truffle package I tasted just now, I heard that the white truffle is produced in Italy, I wonder if there are white truffles growing in the mountains near you?"

Robert spread his hands, shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Lu, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." White truffles are generally grown in Alba and Istria in northwestern Croatia, and we don't know much about growing them here. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Yao's heart, he originally planned to get some mushrooms to cultivate in Fanghu Immortal Island if there were white truffles nearby, and he could also eat delicious truffles at any time at that time.

"That's a pity, I thought the white truffles were produced in the Alps?" Lu Yao shrugged.

Robert laughs: "The Alps in France produce black truffles, but they are one grade lower than white truffles. ”

Since there is no white truffle produced in the local area, Lu Yao had to dispel this idea and asked about the topic of wine instead, and I have to say that Italian wine is indeed good.

Lu Yao originally didn't drink wine, only drank rice wine and white wine from Donghai Province, but today he tasted no less than four kinds of wine, and he unexpectedly found that wine is also delicious when paired with specific food on a certain occasion.

"Mr. Robert, when I was drinking the aperitif, I heard from Miss Rocella that it was produced in your restaurant's own winery, could you please take us on a tour of your wine cellar and vineyard?" Lu Yao asked.

Robert made a gesture of please and said with a smile: "Of course, the wines of our winery are still very famous in the local area, and many restaurants buy from us." ”

Lu Yao and the others followed behind Robert and came to the wine cellar of the manor, which was filled with boxes and boxes of all kinds of wine, including red wine, white wine, rosΓ© wine and so on.

Each bottle of wine is from well-known wineries around the world, and if you take a bottle out, it is a good wine at the town level of other Western restaurants.

Even their own home-made wines are the object of tireless pursuit by the outside world.

Looking at the dazzling array of good wines, Lu Yao became more and more eager to build a small wine workshop by himself.

He turned back to Su Jingya and asked, "Wife, how about you say that we will grow grapes and make wine ourselves when we go home?"

"That's good, but we don't seem to have that big a place to grow grapes, right?" Su Jingya hesitated.

Lu Yao said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, even if there is no place in our manor, there are terraced fields in the village in Longshou Mountain, you can discuss with them when you go back, the key is to get good wine grape varieties." ”

Su Jingya nodded in agreement, but soon, she smiled and said, "We don't understand, but we can ask an expert." ”

Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Robert and asked sincerely: "Mr. Robert, I am very moved to see your wine cellar. I'm going to build a wine workshop on my estate, but I don't know anything about the grape varieties that can be used to make wine, so I wonder if you can tell me about it?"

Hearing that Lu Yao wanted to build a wine workshop in his manor, Robert showed a clear look in his heart, this Mr. Lu is really from an extraordinary background, otherwise who can easily talk about building a wine workshop?

There's so much to be involved involves, first of all, you have to have a large area to grow grapes, and secondly, you have to have the money to be able to afford a wine cellar.

For such a rich man, Robert was naturally very happy to make friends, and he smiled and said: "If Mr. Lu doesn't waste time, I want to invite you to visit our vineyard, how about it?"

Lu Yao was overjoyed and said, "Of course it's no problem, we have a good afternoon." ”

Lu Yao took out his centurion black gold card and settled the lunch fee with Robert, counting the chef's service fee, Lu Yao swiped a total of more than 1,000 US dollars, and the average cost per person was less than 200 euros.

The price is expensive for a regular restaurant, but it's okay for a three-Michelin star restaurant, mainly because the three kids don't eat much.

Leaving the restaurant, Francisco and Rocella personally sent Lu Yao and them to the door, "Mr. Lu, welcome to you, Mrs. Lu and a few little angels to come back next time! ”

Lu Yao took Xiao Chen and Xiao Xi's hands, bowed to them, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality! ”

The three children also said some words of gratitude, and asked Rocella to call them so cute and polite.

The vineyards of Vittorio's restaurant were still some distance from the restaurant, and Robert decided to drive them there.

Lu Yao drove a Porsche Cayenne and followed Robert's car, and about ten minutes later, he came to a beautiful estate at the foot of the Alps with a large area of grapes.

"Welcome to the Vittorio vineyards, where grapes are grown for all kinds of wines. ”

Lu Yao stopped the car, looked at the endless vine trellises with some shock, and asked, "Mr. Robert, are all these grapes grown in your vineyard?"

According to Lu Yao's visual inspection, this vineyard is no less than 300 acres, no wonder there are so many wines stored in the cellar of Vittorio Restaurant, and it is estimated that many of them are made from grapes grown in his own vineyard.

"Yes, since my mother's time, we at the Vittorio restaurant have been buying land to expand the vineyards, which have now reached 20 hectares and are still expanding," says Robert. ”
