72. Dinner and second half events
Lobster, abalone, sea cucumber, hairy crab... To be honest, this style really gives people the feeling of a nouveau riche, but at the same time you have to admit that even those families that have been passed down for hundreds of years and the so-called nobles, aren’t these things eaten? It’s just that the methods may be different, or the dining etiquette will give people a high-end feeling.
But after all, there are so many delicious foods in this world, and there are also many high-end ingredients. After tossing and turning, what everyone can eat is actually nothing more than these things.
Lobsters worth 5,000 each are cheap, with tens of thousands or even tens of thousands per person, but they can’t buy them for a while. The same is true for other ingredients, such as abalone for thousands per person, sea cucumber for tens of thousands per pound, and crabs worth more than three thousand per pound. These things are either unaffordable, or they are reluctant to eat them, or they simply cannot buy them. Today, they gathered together and were cooked in the most common way.
Looking at these expensive ingredients that everyone was reluctant to eat in the past, He Xin and his group had a little straightened their eyes.
But looking at the dining environment here, think about the other person’s wealth... Let’s eat, and think about saving money for the other person?
Everyone immediately let go when they thought of Jin Xiao’s family background. Even Yuan Qing, who had been scolded by Jin Xiao, let go of all his reserve and reached out to the hairy crabs.
Jin Xiao didn't rush to eat. He was the protagonist after all, right? He had to show off his appearance as a protagonist.
He leaned on the back of the chair, gently shaking the wine glass with his left hand, and talking to He Xin with a smile. The main content was the record of his travels in Jingjiang and Zhangjiajie since the separation of Yangcheng. Of course, it saved Pang Dexuan and sisters, as well as An Yao related information. The reason for this description is mainly because all Jin Xiao’s travel experiences were not recorded on any major social platforms.
Today, smartphones are highly developed and almost everyone has one.
Dad Jin and Mom Jin are no exception.
If Jin Xiao dares to record his travel mood on the social platforms that everyone knows, he dares to swear that his parents will call him in less than five minutes. For Jin Xiao, who is committed to concealing his true behavior, not recording his information online is actually one of the most important hidden means. But he is hiding now, and He Xin doesn't know where he has gone.
Jin Xiao could only tell her about her travel experience in person. Whenever she talked about happy places, the two of them couldn't help but touch their glasses.
"This wine is good, what brand is it?"
He Xin took a few sips and asked curiously.
“Monhaeux-grade white wines of Le Flee Winery.”
Jin Xiao said with a smile.
"Uh, I haven't heard of it."
He Xin laughed dryly, she actually asked casually.
What she didn't know was that Jin Xiao actually just said it casually.
The reason I remember so clearly is that this wine is actually quite not cheap.
This white wine is produced from Monthausen Garden and is made of Chardonnay. Located at the southern end of the Golden Hill, this special garden is recognized as one of the best Chardonnay areas in Burgundy and even the world. Le Flee Winery is a well-known winery in the region. The winery also uses the biodynamic method to manage the vineyards. The wines produced are smooth and charming. The average price of this special garden white wine is US$7,747, which is about 50,000 yuan, while some excellent years can even reach US$22,000, which is about 140,000 yuan for soft girl coins.
Although He Xin was invited, Jin Xiao did not use the one that cost 140,000 yuan, but used the relatively ordinary one that cost 50,000 yuan.
The reason why I chose this wine is mainly to deal with today's main course.
Today's main dishes are mostly seafood.
Seafood taste is suitable for pairing with white wine.
For example, flounder is paired with geuteng, Pinot Noir is paired with delicious meat salmon, and crab meat is paired with citrus-sour chardonnay. The texture of the chardonnay is also complemented by the lobster flavor.
Jin Xiao was too lazy to match so many kinds of wines, so he directly chose this white wine because it is mainly made of Chardonnay, which has a good relationship with crab meat and lobster.
The dishes are rich and the wine is sweet. The group eats soft waist and hard belly. Even Jin Xiao, who is more reserved, has to drink a bowl of hawthorn tea to help digestion.
Hawthorn tea is recommended by Aunt Zhang. It uses wild hawthorn from Jin Province, plus old rock sugar, green tea, and finally brewed into a cup of hawthorn tea, which has a good function of helping digestion. Of course, this thing is an auxiliary function after all. If you eat too much, it will not be very effective.
While drinking tea, everyone sat around the living room and chatted. In fact, it was mainly He Xin and the others who were talking and Jin Xiao was listening.
Listen to how the decoration market is in a downturn this year, and listen to everyone’s helplessness and hard work every time they perform performance assessment.
It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon that He Xin and the others proposed to say goodbye.
"Don't hurry to leave. I finally came here. Anyway, I've already prepared barbecue for you. We can cook a round on the rooftop tonight. There is also a swimming pool on the rooftop. You can go and have fun. I've said it many times, but I was at my own house at that time. I really don't have to be too nervous. You can relax at will. If you think it's inconvenient for us men, we can also avoid it."
Jin Xiao said with a smile.
In fact, he didn't care about others. He saw He Xin's slight expectation look when he saw the swimming pool in the morning, and felt that he couldn't let her leave like that.
Today, she will come with her colleagues. If she doesn’t have colleagues to accompany her tomorrow, she may not come. No matter what in the future, at least she will have to let him have fun today.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Sun Qian and Feng Lanrou decided to stay. Yuan Qing finally took a look and said that there was still work to do in the afternoon.
Xia Yunyun obviously struggled for a long time, and finally called He Xin aside.
"Xinxin, I'm really a little sorry for you about the past. I hope you don't get angry with me. I actually want to apologize to you a long time ago. I'm just worried that I will not forgive me."
Xia Yunyun said with a guilty look on her face.
"How could it be? We have always been good friends and colleagues. Actually, there was something wrong with me in the past. I was the one who needs to be forgiven."
He Xin said with a smile.
But in the end, Xia Yunyun did not stay and chose to leave. However, before leaving, she called Jin Xiao to the side.
"Mr. Jin, I really appreciate your hospitality today. You may already know that Xinxin and I have a bad relationship. In fact, it is indeed my fault. I have also apologized to Xinxin. I hope our relationship in the future can become better. Now I mainly want to thank you. I have troubled you for a long time today and ate so many of you again. I am really grateful."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you can make peace with Sister Xinxin, you don't have to thank me. You and Sister Xinxin are friends, so that's my friend. I'm still very happy to entertain friends."
Of course, Jin Xiao couldn't say anything, he could only say some scenes.
"Mr. Jin, I actually have a kind of indignant invitation. I want to take the liberty to add your friends. Today's visit opened my eyes. I want to treat you to a meal another day. What do you think?"
"You can add friends, even if you have dinner, I invite you today to play, not to work, it is your business if you gain something, and I also gain something. I am very happy that I can gain your friendship. You don't have to take this matter to heart."
Jin Xiao waved his hand and said, and exchanged WeChat ID code with Xia Yunyun.
