Chapter two hundred and twentieth
Chapter 223: Distinguishing wine and discussing the quality of the
The quietness of the restaurant was instantly broken. Chen Xiaoxun looked at it and suddenly noticed that something was happening to Lai Xingting.
I saw that Lai Xingting and Shi Long looked good. Facing the waiter next to him, he had a bad tone and pointed at a bottle of pink sparkling wine on the table from time to time, as if he was arguing.
Lai Xingting was well-educated, so he just asked coldly, but Shi Long slapped the table regardless of his image and scolded angrily: "I don't know? Since you don't know anything, let your manager come over and I will ask him in person, what's going on with this wine?"
"What's wrong?"
Su Jin frowned Dai's eyebrows and was very disgusted with Shi Long's rude behavior in public.
Chen Xiao listened carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that the sparkling wine is fake."
Sparkling wine, as the name suggests, is a kind of wine that adds carbonic acid and can bubbling. In Western countries, this wine is used as an aperitif before meals, and the sparkling red wine in front of you is considered a rare product in China, and the authentic products are basically imported from abroad.
However, judging from the current situation, I don’t know whether the sparkling wine sold in this restaurant is true or false.
The atmosphere was a little nervous, and the guests around him looked around and talked a lot for a while.
The waiter couldn't hold back the two guests and was trembling. The restaurant manager hurried over and said, "Sorry, is there any place to treat them inappropriately?"
Lai Xingting didn't speak, and still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, but in fact he disdained it.
In order to please the noble man, Shi Long took the initiative to take on the negotiation task and pointed to the sparkling wine and said, "You are the manager, what's wrong with this bottle of wine? My friend and I tasted it. The taste was completely wrong. There would be no problem, right?"
In fact, he couldn't taste the real or fake at all. But Lai Xingting took a sip and was sure that it was a fake, which gave Shi Long the capital to fake the power of the fox.
The restaurant manager immediately sweated. He opened his own sign in front of the guests and quickly defended him: "Sir, will there be any misunderstandings? This sparkling wine was directly airlifted from Italy, and there will never be any fish-like tangled beads."
"Then you mean we are squirting with blood?"
Shi Long's face was as deep as water. He made up his mind to make friends with Lai Xingting. Since the other party said it was fake, he had to help him find an explanation without doubt.
The restaurant manager complained, but he still had to say nice things with a smile and said, "Sir, I can guarantee this wine with personality. It is absolutely genuine. There may be any misunderstandings in this, maybe your friend has misunderstood for a moment..."
He was carrying heavy responsibilities and also represented the image of his country. Lai Xingting wanted to calm down and teach the other party a lesson, but when he heard the following sentence, he was immediately furious!
This is obviously saying that you can’t taste wine, and you have slandered your restaurant!
"If you have doubts about my opinion, you can call your dealer and I will confront him."
Lai Xingting was so arrogant that he had no choice but to give up. Seeing this, Shi Long agreed: "If you can't contact someone for a while, then take a sample survey from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It will be clear who is right and who is wrong at that time. If there is really something wrong with our judgment, I apologize to you, but if there is indeed something wrong with this wine... Humph, I have many acquaintances at the Provincial Radio and Television Station."
The restaurant manager looked embarrassed, not because he had a terrible heart, but there were not many such purely imported sparkling wines on the market. They were asked to be appraised by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but they didn’t know how many days it would take to appraise them.
Especially when I heard that Shi Long had a relationship in the provincial and Taiwan, I was afraid that the media would expose it randomly, so everything would be over!
Lai Xingting glanced at him and said coldly: "I heard that there are too many fakes in China, so it's true. And you can see, has the dishes been carefully processed, and there is still a greasy circle on the side of the dishes. Is Yunjiang's hygiene condition so bad?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xiao and Su Jin looked at each other and shook their heads. Lai Xingting really regarded Xinjiapo as the country of the Celestial Empire and could accuse all kinds of mistakes in the country.
"This person is so useless. After talking about our news system, he started talking about fakes and hygiene issues. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Xia Zijin muttered softly, even if he was gentle, he could not bear it anymore.
Su Jin frowned and said softly: "Hey, do you think the wine is fake? I think the manager seems to be scruples."
"Who knows, I haven't tasted it myself. Besides, even the top wine tasters have some time to lose their taste."
Chen Xiao looked at the scene and thought for a while, then stood up and walked over, which made Su Jin and his two women open their eyes and feel confused.
Lai Xingting saw that he had occupied the top, and by the way, he also gave out the cowardly anger he had just been subjected to by Chen Xiao. Just as he was about to stop, a voice that was extremely disgusting came from beside him.
"Except for the very good years, most sparkling wines are not remembered in the year, and they do not have the aging potential of red wine, so it is most suitable to keep them for three to five years."
Chen Xiao walked over, picked up the sparkling wine bottle and glanced at the restaurant manager, and said, "The production time of this wine should be short, right?"
Seeing that he was very talkative and seemed to be an expert, the manager nodded quickly and said, "The sparkling wine in our restaurant is basically not long. This bottle is the farthest in the year and was brewed four years ago."
Lai Xingting was displeased, Shi Long frowned and said in a deep voice: "Chen Xiao, what do you want to say? If you don't understand the situation, can you not interrupt?"
Chen Xiao ignored the little face, weighed the bottle, and said, "Mr. Lai, do you say this wine is fake, is it just judged by taste?"
"Of course, I dare not say how professional wine tasting is, but I have tried many good wines." Lai Xingting smiled disdainfully, thinking that Chen Xiao was completely pretending, and said leisurely: "Maybe Mr. Chen was still drinking soda when I started tasting, right?"
Chen Xiao didn't think it was offended. After putting down the bottle, he twisted the cork plug, squinted his eyes and observed it, saying, "I don't know much about wine, but I also heard some knowledge. I know that the longer the sparkling wine, the stronger the cork's tightening will be due to carbon dioxide. If the wine was just opened, according to the bottle plug, it should be the authentic one."
The method of judging by cork is also what he saw in his previous life's news topic of investigating fake wine.
"What?"
Shi Long was wide open and confused by the sudden emergence of professional knowledge.
Lai Xingting's heart suddenly shrank and was caught off guard. After all, what Chen Xiao said was certain. He didn't pay attention to the cork just now, so he made a judgment based on the taste of the wine. In addition, because Chen Xiao was so angry that he arbitrarily cursed the fake, which caused Shi Long to pursue it unyieldingly.
Seeing the situation taking a sharp turn and the guests around began to point fingers at him, Lai Xingting felt embarrassed and argued: "What is the problem with a cork alone? It is possible that this bottle of fake wine has been stored for four years before I hit it today."
Chen Xiao chuckled and didn't fall. If the cork was brand new, it could be judged to be a domestic fake. But this bottle of sparkling wine has been sealed for four years. If you insist on saying it is fake, you can only say that there is something wrong with the production or preservation of the origin, so how can you talk about fakes?
At this moment, a man suddenly walked over, poked out his slender arm and picked up the tulip cup, placed it on his nose and sniffed it, taking a sip, slowly taking a sip, moving in a flowing way, indescribably elegant and elegant manner.
"The fresh taste of oak is very strong, and the bubbles are revealed little by little at the moment when the tip of the tongue breaks. It is true." The man shook the wine and said, "It's just that many sparkling wines in Italy have been mass-produced in recent years. In order to save costs, they do not ferment in the wine bottle, but concentrate on fermenting them in the wine lees. Some even directly pour carbon dioxide into the wine, so the flavor will naturally be somewhat different."
In an instant, the audience was silent. This was a veritable expert!
Lai Xingting looked up suddenly, and when he saw the man, he said tensely: "Director Pei, you are here..."
Pei Yan looked at him and said, "Xingting, you may be used to drinking red wine, so you have the illusion of preconceived ideas. It is best to be more cautious before investigating the situation clearly, otherwise it will be yourselves. Do you understand?"
After saying that, he completely ignored Lai Xingting's flushed face, looked at Chen Xiao and smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, we are meeting again."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Is it a good fate? Come here for dinner?"
"Well, my supper is not settled, so Lai Xingting invited me to join me. But at present, it seems that the meal is unpalatable."
Seeing Pei Yan and Chen Xiao having a good conversation, Lai Xingting was immediately frightened and never expected that he would try his best to curry favor with the powerful and powerful people, and he would be polite to a radio and television staff, and from the conversation, he obviously had a close relationship!
Pei Yan looked at him again and said indifferently: "You go back first. I can pretend that this has not happened before. It is better not to have a next time, otherwise your business may be ruined in your hands. Do you understand?"
Lai Xingting shivered violently, fear burst out. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to have any politeness in front of this nobleman who was powerful in the political and business circles of Southeast Asia. If he really made the other party dissatisfied because of this incident, not only would he and his family be kicked out of this cooperation, but he could put his family in danger every second with the Pei family's strong energy in Southeast Asia!
"By the way, take this bottle of wine away, go back and try it more, leave some experience, don't make mistakes in the future, otherwise it will be more than just embarrassing."
Chen Xiao joked casually, which made Lai Xingting, who was just about to get up and escape, tremble his cheeks. With a bunch of narrow eyes around him, he was so angry that he seemed to have left the restaurant.
Shi Long looked at Chen Xiao and Pei Yan in disappointment, and was surprised and confused. However, when it came to Lai Xingting's fear of the sudden appearance of the man, no matter how stupid he knew that this person was definitely above Lai Xingting, so he dared not make any objections. He was still wondering why Chen Xiao had a friendship with such a big man. When he heard the teasing sounds coming from around him, he hurriedly paid the bill and left in grief and anger.
