260 The Legend of Wine

"Oh, is a young gentleman from the East?"

In any era, long-distance cruises are a very luxurious thing to do. Even if the cruise ship is old and has a small displacement, it still represents high consumption.

Those who can board the cruise are at least the middle class with little wealth.

In this environment, Monroe and Frank's bodyguards did not enter the restaurant. They did not have to worry about being harassed by boring guys, because the security guards on the boat could definitely ensure the safety of their guests.

So this Oriental man walked to Monroe and Frank without being stopped by anyone.

Monroe was deeply attracted by the oriental man just glanced at him.

Born in the Lighthouse Kingdom, she had never seen such a pair of black and white eyes. Unlike ordinary oriental people, the person in front of her seemed to have some magic in her eyes. Just looking at her, she felt calm, abandoning many worries, and a cool mind, as if even her mild depression had improved a lot.

The well-tailed gray double-breasted suit made the young gentleman look more mature, and his tall figure illuminated the women's eyes. The gold bracelet exposed beside the pocket of the top and a green jade ring worn on the middle finger of his right hand demonstrated his considerable financial resources...

This is a young, handsome, well-educated single man who is pure and rich!

Monroe, who saw the rough pores and the smell of body odor all over the Western male, suddenly had his eyes lit up.

"Ms. Monroe, Mr. Frank, can I sit next to you?"

Although Zhou Wenqiang's English is poor, his smile is noble enough. He paused his head slightly at the two of them like a gentleman in the movie, without any concealment of his recognition of the identities of these two big stars.

"Today I can do my job and spend this wonderful night with you."

"Oh, of course, it's my honor."

"Please sit down, gentleman from the East..."

Not only Monroe, but even Frank had a good impression of Zhou Wenqiang and did not mind sitting on the same dining table with such an oriental gentleman.

"Haha, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Wenqiang. I do some small business in Hong Kong. At the same time, I am also a two-movie and fan."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and stretched out his hand to Frank, and at the same time turned his head and smiled Monroe, showing very appropriately. Then he waved to the waiter. After looking at the menu, he smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that there are French and German dishes on this boat. So let's try the French dishes here. Do you have any opinions?"

Monroe and Frank waved their hands one after another, expressing their no objection, and at the same time, they watched Zhou Wenqiang order food with interest.

Whether this oriental is a real gentleman can be seen by ordering dishes.

Because it was not about having a long-lasting French meal, Zhou Wenqiang chose several representative dishes, namely "fried foie gras", "fresh snail", "black pepper grilled lamb chops", "baked lobster with white sauce" and onion soup.

Each dish had to be filled with three guests, not to mention Monroe, the big man Frank had enough.

The waiter said respectfully: "Sir, do you need white or red wine? We also have champagne from the French Champagne Province, and maybe Ms. Monroe will like it."

French food emphasizes red meat with red wine, white meat and seafood, etc. The dishes ordered by Zhou Wenqiang include red meat and white meat, and there are ladies at the table, so the waiter asked this question.

Of course, this oriental gentleman also made him very curious and had the idea of ​​inquiry.

"Zhou, I can drink red wine."

Monroe is the same choice as most people in Lighthouse.

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "Coincidentally, this is my suggestion. I prefer the color of red wine, and it is more suitable for beauty like Ms. Monroe. Mr. Waiter, do you have Mouton for 45 years here?"

"Of course, respected sir..."

The waiter was stunned and bent deeper: "You are such an expert. But in this case, you have to wait for a while... Mouton, who has been in the 45 years, must go through the sobering process. The most perfect way is to bring the sobered wine and the foie gras with a surface temperature of 35 degrees Celsius to you at the same time."

"Very good, don't worry about time, we have one night to wait."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and took out a $5 bill and handed it to the waiter. After the waiter left happily, he smiled and blinked at Monroe: "This is a tip. He only needs to pay a little tip. He will help us stare at the kitchen to ensure that we can eat the top ingredients."

"Haha, Zhou, I really admire you. I didn't expect that there is someone like you in the East."

Frank laughed and said, "I guess you must not be doing a small business, maybe you are an Oriental millionaire?"

The millionaires he mentioned are of course in US dollars and pounds.

Zhou Wenqiang also blinked at him: "Mr. Frank, there is a proverb in the East, called 'See through but don't say it out'..."

It turns out that he is really a millionaire!

Monroe is not much better than an ordinary girl at this moment. Looking at Zhou Wenqiang's big eyes, they are filled with small stars.

The more you are from a difficult and poor, the more you yearn for money, because only a "hard child" like Monroe knows that the most reliable thing in the world is money!

"Zhou, can you tell me why Mouton is required for 45 years? Is it because the red wine of this year is more memorable?"

Monroe began to subconsciously talk to Zhou Wenqiang. She knew that many famous French wineries have released 45-year-old "peace commemorative" red wines, but she didn't know more.

She really wanted to ask Zhou Wenqiang for advice. For the vulgar lighthouse Chinese, French culture needs to be looked up to. She hoped in her heart that the most perfect answer would be obtained, which would make the oriental gentleman in front of her more perfect...

Frank also looked at Zhou Wenqiang and waited for his answer.

"Ms. Monroe, the Mouton in 45 years is not just a peaceful memorial? As far as I know, although the Mouton in 45 years is still a second-level winery and has not yet made its reputation, the Mouton in 45 years is a truly top red wine."

Zhou Wenqiang said as he knew it: "In May 1945, the sudden frost caused the grape yield in the entire Medoc producing area to drop sharply, but the weather conditions were very perfect. The summer was hot and dry, and the grape harvest was also advanced. The perfect alternation of hot and cold climates made the grapes in this year extremely mature, and their potential alcohol content was as high as 15%! Moreover, this year, the grape quality was excellent, but the yield was the lowest since 1915..."

"Most of the grapes used by Mouton Winery to make red wine come from the Great Plateau vineyards west of the winery, where the soil is typical of the Pojac area, with clay, marl and large rocks at the bottom, and the surface is covered with 8 meters of gravel. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced by this soil is powerful and powerful, with both strength and elegance!"

"The wines made in 45 years are mellow and fragrant, which is more than any previous vintage; and Mouton is one of the best, and it can be called the legend of wine!"

"But it is also very valuable. The current market price of a bottle of Mouton in the West in 1945 should be around US$1,000. On this cruise ship, at least 30% will be added."

Monroe felt very distressed when she heard it: "God! She actually costs $1,300 per bottle? This is really expensive!"

"Nonono, this is not expensive."

Zhou Wenqiang waved his hand and said, "What is a mere bottle of red wine compared to Miss Monroe? Oh, I have already smelled the aroma of red wine and foie gras. Ms. Monroe, Mr. Frank, let us forget the hell dollar bills and enjoy this charming night!"
