The sommelier held the bottle in front of Naoto Yoshiwara and asked him to look at the label to make sure there were no mistakes in the name, vintage, and production of the wine.

As an old drunkard, Naoto Yoshihara only glanced at it and confirmed that this restaurant was still a bit genuine - at least the sommelier was professional, and he didn't just care about making money and picking up high-priced goods to recommend, but chose relatively suitable wines for the sake of customers.

Come to think of it, once a Michelin-starred chef, although it is not very rare, but there is definitely professionalism, and the restaurant that is only open for old customers after retirement will not come to it.

At this time, Naoto Yoshiwara tried an aperitif, and at the same time served as a food accompaniment (note). Unlike after-dinner wines, which are mostly based on personal preference, aperitifs need to stimulate the appetite, i.e. act as an aperitif. In the case of accompaniment at the same time, it is necessary not to paralyze the taste buds and affect the deliciousness of the food, or even to be more demanding, and to set off the main dish to optimize the taste of the main dish.

This is more demanding, so most restaurants will have a sommelier to provide professional advice based on the menu of the day, the gender and age of the customer, preferences, etc.

First of all, the aperitif should not be too sweet, otherwise the sugar will reduce the appetite, secondly, the alcohol content should not be too high, the diners have slipped under the table before the main course is served, and finally, if the main dish has special spices, which is unavoidable, then you should not choose a wine that also contains opposing herbs or spices, lest the diners eat a wonderful strange taste and finally smash their own signature under the conflict with each other.

After the sommelier waited for Naoto Yoshiwara to nod his head to confirm that the label was correct, he opened the bottle, put the cork in front of Naoto Yoshiwara and asked him to look at it, let him see if the name and year of the wine imprinted on the stopper were consistent with the label, and poured another sip or so and asked him to look at the color and taste it.

Naoto Yoshihara pinched the goblet and shook it gently, and it was very clear through the light, and the wine was a faint pinkish-purple color. He took a sip and curled it on his tongue, and carefully debated it for a moment - there was basically no sweetness, it should be a specially selected vine. Freshly brewed light wine, fruity, with a little cat grass added, it can relieve oiliness, but it does not add too many spices like Branley.

Considering that the main dish is the seven-o'clock leg of lamb, it took seven hours to marinate it with spices and spices, and then it took seven hours to simmer it over a slow fire - the selected baby leg of lamb is extremely tender and has a lot of fat, and the mutton itself has a unique aroma, and it is soaked into the bones by the chef's special spices, which should be regarded as a dish with a heavier taste. In the process of eating, the tongue is stimulated by both spices and ingredients, the taste buds will inevitably become sluggish, and the taste will be slightly greasy.

Take a bite of the tender baby goat leg, the thick gravy has the spice of spices, and it is full of fragrance. Then gently rinse the tongue with wine when the tongue is not sensitive, and take another bite of the little goat leg, which is still the feeling of the first sip - this must have!

He swallowed the wine in his head, and felt that the alcohol content was not high, and it was suitable for women. He couldn't help but look up at the sommelier with some sympathy—everyone is a drinker!

He doesn't have any goals in life now, except for wanting to lie down and wait for death, all that is left is to eat and drink, and he almost burst into tears when he looks at the good hands of eating and drinking.

True ~ people in the wine road never look at the price, only pick the wine that suits the mood, the right time, the right occasion, and the right one! The nouveau riche will pursue the so-called famous wine, and even if it is pursued, eighty percent can't tell the truth from the fake, let alone drink it good or bad, and it is basically fed to the dog.

Generally, there are only three options for wine tasting. One is that there is a problem with the wine, such as sour and astringent, then you can ask the sommelier to also taste a taste, if it is indeed the quality of the wine is wrong, that is the problem of the restaurant, free wine is the minimum, and even for the sake of fame, the restaurant will be free of charge;

Naoto Yoshiwara nodded his head in recognition of each other, and praised in French: "Very good recommendation, it's hard to think of a more suitable one!"

The sommelier had been paying attention to Naoto Yoshiwara's expression, and found that he was very serious and did not respond to things like ordinary diners, and he was already very satisfied, feeling that this was the kind of guest who rarely understood and respected wine, and listened to Naoto Yoshiwara's accent similar to him, which was quite a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country. However, due to the limitations of etiquette, he couldn't make small talk, so he smiled while pouring wine for the three of them: "I have a bottle of private absinthe, do you want this gentleman to have a glass after the meal." ”

Naoto Yoshiwara said happily: "That's great, just add three pieces of ice to me!"

The sommelier smiled and walked away to prepare the prize. Absinthe is made from fennel, fense, and absinthe, the brewing history can be traced back to the ancient Roman period, belongs to a kind of cooking wine - especially private brewing, serious turbidity, milk-like, but the entrance is soft as water, the aroma is even more wonderful and indescribable.

Naoto Yoshihara has been watching the sommelier leave, and the other party dares to take it out It is definitely not an ordinary product, and I really hate to follow him - it is difficult to find authentic wine, and the ancient private brew has always been only intoxicating but not intoxicating, and it is difficult to find money.

When the sommelier was gone, he reluctantly turned his head, but saw Mai Shina and asked a little strangely: "Yoshihara-kun has also been to France......?

This sommelier is the chef's youngest son, and she is still relatively familiar.

Naoto Yoshiwara laughs, "I've been in the south of France for a while, and I do like to have a few drinks. Then he complimented, "Auntie's French is really authentic, my accent is too strong, and it is still far behind." ”

Nishikujo Ruri's brows furrowed again, this man ...... It's really a thick skin, obviously it has nothing to do with him, but he can scream one aunt after another, without any sense of disobedience, and he doesn't forget to make up for it in three sentences.

Mai Xinna said with some joy: "The accent doesn't matter, and it doesn't affect the communication...... What is Yoshihara-kun doing in France, also to study abroad?"

"No, auntie, I worked in the south of France for a while. ”

"I see!" Mai Kokina couldn't help but talk to Naoto Yoshiwara about France. She has a good impression of France, and she is considered to be a faction that worships the West, while Naoto Yoshiwara has a very bad impression of France, where xenophobia is very strong, and he was almost killed by the Franco-American mafia when he was mixed in the African gang.

It's just a small talk.,He picked up some interesting things he heard and said.,And it's very interesting.,When you meet Mai Xinnai's interest, you can talk a few more nonsense.,Or in turn, use the topic to play a few words of flattery.,For a while, Mai Xinna was coaxed to be kind and kind.,I really have the feeling that my mother-in-law is looking at her son-in-law.。

Nishikujo Ruri sipped the wine gently, and the appetizer was basically removed without moving, and seeing that Naoto Yoshihara pulled the head plate that was too little to feed the cat into his mouth while talking, and he swallowed it for some reason.

The soup was brought up again, it was a French fish soup, and because it was mainly a lady, the fat was filtered out. She drank the soup lightly with a spoon, and watched Naoto Yoshiwara's dining etiquette in place, his words were decent, and he was a little polite with a bald head, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

She was a little confused in her heart, the man in front of her was really pretending to be something, and he could always give people a very comfortable feeling. If it weren't for the "rancid smell" on his body, he would have thought that he had made a mistake before or that the other party had changed someone.

She seemed to be drinking soup, but she kept an eye on Naoto Yoshiwara, and slowly found that this person was really good at chatting, and he was very accurate in touching other people's psychology, and he could shoot every sycophant, and he didn't lose himself - she just glanced down at the soup plate, and then looked up at the soup plate in front of the guy was naked, and she didn't know how he drank it in his stomach.

She made up the scene of Naoto Yoshihara sticking out his big tongue and licking the soup away with lightning speed, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.

The soup was removed and replaced with a side dish of white meat, which is fresh shellfish that can be eaten with a thick sauce. Seeing that Naoto Yoshiwara had mastered the rhythm of the chat, Nishikujo Ruri handed over the topic to his mother, and just admired and echoed a few words on key points, which could make Mai's heart full of interest and keep talking.

She looked at Naoto Yoshiwara's face full of interest, as if he was paying attention to his mother's words, and she was slightly confused, and then looked at the plate in front of him, which was empty again.

She pondered for a while, and found that from the beginning to the present, this guy has eaten and drunk nothing, and has coaxed his mother to laugh, but her mother and daughter have basically not touched their mouths.

When the main dish was served, Naoto Yoshihara was even more attentive, and took the initiative to help Mai Kona's cut the leg bone of the little goat leg so that she could use the most delicious bone marrow, and the topic had already been from the south of France to the question of whether the indigenous people of the islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean drank fish soup.

Mai Shina chatted happily, and the more she looked at Naoto Yoshihara, the more pleasing it became, and after taking a sip of wine, she pulled the topic back and asked, "By the way, Yoshihara-kun, how is the current operation of your investment company?"

Naoto Yoshihara lowered his eyelids, how did he know if the company was good or not, he was a puppet, Nana Hoshino and Oori Tobu were the ones who presided over everything, but he still nodded and said vaguely: "The long-term expectation is still good." ”

"Then I'll be a partner too!" Mai Kona, I've heard a lot of rumors about SPM during this time, and it's said that it's about to move. She thinks she has good intentions, Naoto Yoshihara closes her eyes and wants to help him, anyway, there are lawyers and accountants staring, and she doesn't have to worry too much.

As for whether she will be deceived, she never thinks about these - which fraud gang dares to attack the police family?

When Nishikujo Ruri heard this, he immediately raised his sword eyebrows slightly. She doesn't care about financial news, and when she thought about it, Naoto Yoshiwara probably just opened a small company, and eighty percent of it was still a leather bag company. Seeing that his mother began to talk to herself again, she opened her mouth directly to join the shares without asking, and was a little speechless.

She thought about it for a while and decided to relieve Naoto Yoshiwara. If a small company falls into the hands of her mother, it would not be strange for the chairman to become her mother in two days, but unexpectedly, Naoto Yoshihara was already pleasantly surprised: "This has really helped me a lot, aunt! It just so happens that we have a gap in funds, and I will immediately notify the people below to give you a share quota of 30 billion yuan, please don't be too little!"

He waited for Mai Xinna to agree with an embarrassed face, and seemed to be ashamed that he could only give such a small quota.

Mai Xinna looked at Naoto Yoshihara in confusion, is this SPM share capital so strong? Three billion is not a small amount after all, and her understanding of SPM is only general, so she immediately couldn't make up her mind.

It was the first time that Nishikujo Ruri saw her mother, who was so bold that she reached out to ask for something and was blocked by someone who couldn't speak, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, only to feel that the depression that was forced to come has dissipated a lot.

She laughed out loud and immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly remedied: "Mother, this is a dinner party for friends, it's better not to talk about these business things!"

Mai Xinna immediately got off the donkey, never mentioning the matter of being a partner, and instead said: "Ruri is right. Will Yoshihara-kun come to Shizuoka this time to visit Asama Taisha Shrine?"

"I don't know if I'll go to Asama Taisha yet, but I'm sure I'll have to go up to the top of the mountain to see it. "Naoto Yoshihara doesn't mention the matter of buying shares anymore, and if the other party drags it up, it won't look good if he opens his mouth to do shares.

As for Asama Taisha, Nana Hoshino doesn't enter the shrine, but according to her temperament and character, since she comes, she must go to the top of the mountain to take a look, and Momomiya Miki is the other extreme, she worships when she sees the gods, but it's hard to say if she can have the perseverance to climb to the top of the mountain.

Mai Shinna heard Naoto Yoshihara say this, and said happily: "That's great, I'm too old to accompany Ruri to visit the god of the Nishikujo family, so let's go with Yoshihara-kun on a trip!"

Naoto Yoshihara was stunned, you are really welcome, and you can rest assured! Barren mountains and mountains, you are not afraid of what I will do to your daughter!

He didn't want to, so he turned his head and passed the "ball" to Ruri Nishikujo, and said with a smile: "I can't ask for it, but I don't know if the Nishikujo Police Department is willing." ”

Nishikujo Ruri decisively refused: "Mother, it's better not to trouble Yoshihara-san." ”

Mai Konai said regretfully: "That's a pity...... Then tomorrow we will go to the southern foot hunting ground for a party, and then we will pick a few people from there to accompany you!"

Nishikujo Ruri was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said, "Mother, I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid I can't ......."

"The doctor said the injury is fine!Ruri, are you going to visit Asama Taisha Shrine or to a hunting party?"

Naoto Yoshihara bared his teeth, only to feel that the dish was bad, and suddenly had a bad premonition!

[Note: Dongying liquor control to protect local liquor, many small varieties of liquor are highly tariffed, so the pre-dinner wine and the table wine are two in one, and there is no longer a strict distinction between pre-dinner and accompaniment.] While the conditions are limited, the requirements for sommeliers are also higher. 】
