"Oh, tell me"

Zhou Dong nodded, his face very calm.

For Huailiang's behavior, no matter how ignorant Zhou Dong was, he could see the problem.Taking out three bottles of white wine without a trademark, it was obvious to test my mind, and this question was carefully arranged by Huai Liangren, so the difficulty can be imagined.

"My friend, don't think I'm trying to embarrass you.

As you know, I still have a little reputation in the French catering industry, so the owners of some famous wineries and I have some friendship.

Hehe, these three bottles of white wine are not for sale as a personal gift from them.Since it is not for sale, of course there will be no trademark. If this causes you to misunderstand, it is really my fault. "

Huai Liang with a smirk on his face was like a fox preparing to deceive a puppet: "But it's okay, if you are not good at picking white wine, Zhou Dong, let me make the decision for you?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Dong quietly.The most important step in eating French food is to choose the wine to accompany the meal. If it is said that in the old China, a good waiter was used to distinguish whether the guests were "diners" who knew how to eat or "floaters" who were stupid and rich. A polite waiter will distinguish guests during the selection of wine.

When you meet a nouveau riche who doesn’t understand anything, the polite restaurant waiters will definitely smile at you like a gentleman, and at the same time cheat you to death.

Although Huai Liang valued Zhou Dong, he only admired Zhou Dong's talent in Chinese cuisine. He didn't think that a cooking school intern from a petty citizen's family was capable of choosing a suitable bottle of white wine.

You know, choosing white wine is even more difficult than choosing red wine. Most red wine can be judged by its age, but white wine is more particular. If you blindly choose the year, you will make a big joke.

Not to mention that there is not even a trademark on the bottle. Even those who have studied French wine to a certain extent, it is difficult to judge whether it is good or not based on the taste alone. This is the job of a professional sommelier.

If it weren't for a natural sensitive tongue, even Huailiang would not dare to say that he would pick out a more suitable bottle of wine without a trademark; so if Zhou Dong is willing to 'admit defeat', he will be very gentlemanly to eliminate the embarrassment , and then help Zhou Dong 'choose' a suitable bottle of wine, of course, he will be very happy to have a little upper hand.
"Oh, I don't like letting other people make decisions for me, so I'll do it myself."

Zhou Dong pointed to the bottle of wine in the middle with a smile and said, "Let's try this bottle first."

The waiter's eyes swept across Zhou Dong's big pants, and he showed a professional smile and said, "Sir, do you need to sober up first?"

Huai Liang glanced at the waiter, and frowned unobtrusively.

What a jerk!How dare you set a trap for my friend?If this was his restaurant, the waiter would be out of a job by now.

He and Zhou Dong are like the world's five unique tricks. When the fight is fierce, all kinds of insidious tricks can emerge one after another, but this is a matter between the five uniques. When will it be the turn of the four ghosts of the Yellow River to show off?

Zhou Dong took a deep look at the waiter, pointed to the spiral cork and said, "As a professional waiter in a French restaurant, you should know better than me that most of the white wines that use this cork do not need to be decanted. ,Right?
So your question just now makes me suspect that you are not professional enough. "

Metal screw corks are different from oak corks. They are usually used on some wines with an aging life of no more than five years. Often these wines have a characteristic, that is, they will be drunk when they are 'young' to have the best quality. good taste.

Whether it is red wine or white wine, this kind of cork is used, especially white wine is the most widely used.

Compared with the oak cork, the airtightness of the metal screw-shaped cork is poorer, so this kind of wine often has undergone a process of "self-decoration" during the storage process, and it can be poured out to drink directly without sobering up .

For people who often go to western restaurants, this is actually just a common sense question. Seeing that Zhou Dong was young and wearing big underpants, this waiter was actually bullying others on purpose.

Of course he knew that this was Chef Huai's 'guest'. It was only when he saw Chef Huai making things difficult for Zhou Dong that he dared to flatter Huailiang. Also met a real connoisseur.

The waiter blushed when he was told, and was speechless for a moment.Dai Jun gave him a hard look: "Pour the wine quickly! Hehe, Mr. Zhou, please don't take offense, he is actually a temporary worker"

"Oh, since it's a temporary worker, it can still be forgiven."

Zhou Dong took the white wine from the waiter, took a sip, nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you, Lao Huai, have done well in France. Who would have thought that even a top winery like Mouton would give you non-sale products?"

Huai Liang's complexion changed slightly, and he laughed dryly: "Goofy, foolish."

"Mouton Chateau in Bordeaux has a long history and first-class quality. There is no doubt about these. But if I had to choose, I would not choose the white wine produced by Mouton."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "It's actually determined by the grape varieties used to make wine.

Bordeaux's Médoc region has the world's top 'Cabernet Sauvignon', coupled with Mouton's brewing process, will have top-quality red wine.There is no doubt about one thing, just like Lafite, Mouton is the nobleman among red wines.

It's a pity that the white wines produced by 'Semillon', 'Sauvignon Blanc' and 'Muscadet' produced in Medoc are not satisfactory. There will be some discounts.

Moreover, Mouton wine is notoriously lacking in stability, sometimes it will surprise people, and sometimes it will be mediocre; in addition, what it is best at is always brewing red wine, so if I had to choose, I would decisively eliminate these wines. a bottle. "

Zhou Dong pointed to the bottle of white wine in the middle.

"Take it away."

Huailiang took a long breath, and asked with itchy teeth, "Don't tell me that Qingxiang Technical School is so extravagant that students practice tasting top French wines?"

"Well, I didn't learn it in school."

Zhou Dong's tone was flat. Ever since he suffered from bipolar disorder, he always consciously controlled his tone.

"Then where did you learn these things?" Huai Liang was extremely curious.

"Ask Du Niang if the internal matter is unresolved, will you believe me when I say this?"

"I believe you big-headed ghost!"

Huailiang scolded his mother secretly in his heart, but his face was still calm: "My friend, there are two bottles of wine left, how would you choose?"

"Then let's start with the bottle on the left."

Zhou Dong nodded to the waiter.

"Mr. Zhou, please."

The waiter changed his previous contempt for Zhou Dong, opened the bottle of wine carefully, and handed the wine glass to Zhou Dong with both hands very respectfully.

Taking the wine glass, Zhou Dong took a sip, and after a long silence, he glanced at Huai Liangren with a half-smile, and said to the waiter, "Please open the bottle on the right, too."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please have a taste."

After taking the wine glass handed over by the waiter again, Zhou Dong tasted it first, hesitated slightly and asked, "Is there any purified water?"

"Of course sir."

The waiter quickly brought the water, Zhou Dong took the pure water to rinse his mouth, picked up the wine glass again to taste, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Old Huai, you really have a lot of contacts, from Bordeaux to Burgundy , are all French winery owners your friends?
Yes, the best white wines I think come from Burgundy.This is still determined by the grape variety used to make wine, perhaps from the moment 'Chardonnay' appeared on the earth, it was doomed to be the best raw material for making white wine."

Zhou Dong said calmly: "What made me embarrassed just now is that these two bottles of white wine are both Burgundy's super GRAND CRU quality white wine.

It is indeed difficult to choose one of them as today's table wine.

Now I can be sure, Lao Huai, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? "

"This guy, it's like having a dog's tongue! It's not easy, it's not easy. Could it be that my beloved has finally met his 'rival for life'?"

Huailiang shook his head a few times before shaking off this very second-year thought. He looked at Zhou Dong solemnly and said, "It's not so much a difficulty as a test. My friend, after all, not everyone is qualified I pouted my ass and cooked for him!"

"Unfortunately, you encountered one today."

Zhou Dong twirled the crystal wine glass in his hand, and said calmly: "So, soon you will go to the back kitchen with your butt pouted."
