Coquettish Rebirth

It was not cheap for Jia Hongjian to treat Wang Dan to dinner this time.

This time they went to a "Shanghai Club" on the 86th floor of Jinmao next door to eat.The legendary restaurant on the 88th floor of the Jin Mao Tower actually does not exist at all. There has never been such a thing in the Jin Mao Tower.The publicity restaurant is located in the largest sphere of the tower of the Oriental Pearl Tower, but the taste of that place is really not very good.As for this "Shanghai Club", generally speaking, the scenery is good, the price is good, and the taste is not bad.That's why Jia Hongjian brought Wang Dan here.

However, due to the limitations of elevator technology in this era, there is no way to send the elevator directly to the height of the 80-storey storey. In fact, the elevator back and forth actually reversed three or four times, and then went around and turned seven or eight corners. Like a labyrinth, we finally arrived at the so-called "Shanghai Club".As for this club, the entrance looks unremarkable, even if you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to find it if you walk around.There is only one welcoming lady at their door, and there is no crowd in line, and there is no obvious signboard or door face outside, so it is really not easy to find.

"Sir, are you? How about the seat by the window?" The waiter, who didn't seem to have a high personality, came up to him and asked without much smile on his face.As for this, Jia Hongjian had experienced it in his previous life—who made the comprehensive advantages of this place obvious?To put it bluntly, this Jinmao is a scenic spot. In the sightseeing hall two floors above, there are either foreigners or outsiders.This is not to say that Jia Hongjian discriminates against outsiders, but that this commercial CBD is the characteristic of Shanghai, and it is an iconic scenic spot. Now that domestic tourists have come to Shanghai, where else can they go if they don't come here?

Then, on the east bank of the Pujiang River, there are high-rise buildings everywhere. If you want to be able to eat high-end dishes while seeing the night view of the Pujiang River, this is the Oriental Pearl Tower.However, the taste of the dishes at Oriental Pearl Tower is really not very good, and it feels like it is purely selling the location.And this "Shanghai Club".Compared with the Oriental Pearl Tower, the location is not bad. You can also see the night view of nearly half of Shanghai’s elite areas, you can see the Pujiang River, you can eat at an altitude of several hundred meters, and you can feel the same as in the movie. , and the taste is not bad... Afraid no one will come to such a restaurant?What kind of attitude does a restaurant like this expect from its waiters?And this restaurant.It also has a unique grade - you need to pay an additional 15% service fee in addition to the meal fee, which is the same as foreign consumption, and it is clearly marked on the price.

After sitting on the double seat next to the bed, Jia Hongjian didn't take the menu at all, but asked directly, "Do you have crystal shrimp? One, two shark's fins. One black pepper cowboy bone, One serving of seafood soup, one serving of abalone, one serving of vinegared jellyfish head, two servings of bird's nest and a serving of fruit plate..." Here he finished his orders with the waiter, and asked while looking at Wang Dan who was reading the menu. "Well, there are no taboos to eat, right? What else do you want to eat? Don't worry about the price..."

"It's not a taboo... Well, I kind of want to eat lion's head with crab noodles..." After looking at the menu, Wang Dan raised his head to ask Jia Hongjian for his opinion. "Then add a lion's head with crab powder." After finishing speaking, Jia Hongjian looked at Wang Dan, "Why don't you open a bottle of red wine? The environment here is good, and drinking a little red wine should be quite interesting, right? Waiter, you guys What kind of red wine does this place have?" "We have large and small Lafite from Chateau Lafite here. Chateau Latour and its second brand of Chateau Latour, the first and second brand of Chateau Margaux and Chateau Hongyanrong..."

As soon as Jia Hongjian heard it, he knew that these were the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of Bordeaux's first growth chateaux, plus a brand that was promoted later, they were the so-called top five chateaux.However, he was quite curious about the other wine, "Is there Lusalus?" Jia Hongjian asked.Although this so-called Lusalus doesn't seem to be well known in China as Lafite.But in fact, when this winery was rated that year, it was the only "Super Premier Winery" that was higher than Lafite and the like!Or a grand cru!The wine from this grand cru winery is not as expensive as the over-hyped Lafite, but in fact, their stuff is not as expensive as Lafite!Although Jia Hongjian is a rich man now.But there's no need to drink Lafite that has been hyped up!For example, in 2012, in memory, a bottle of Lusalus in 94 and 95 was only about 240 Euros, which means 2500 yuan, but what about Lafite?That would cost 6000 RMB!Although we are pretending to be aggressive by drinking red wine, we can't be taken advantage of just to pretend to be aggressive!The money will be earned by others, okay?Jia Hongjian is rich, but he is not stupid!

"This...not." The waiter seemed to have never heard of the Lusalus brand, and shook his head. "Then let's talk about the beauty. Do you have the genuine dry white? Do you have the 95? Yes? Then open the bottle." Seeing the waiter turn around and leave, Jia Hongjian turned his head and said to Wang Dan with a smile, "Although Generally speaking, if you eat white meat, you drink dry white, and if you eat red meat, you drink dry red. But what we ate today is Chinese food, and dry white is a good appetizer. This beauty has a good name, and it is also one of the five wineries. The only genuine brand with dry white in it, the 95 is relatively a year with better grape quality in these years, and it should be a new product just launched at the end of last year. If you want to find a better year in the future, you need I have been looking for 90 years..."

"I didn't expect President Jia to be so knowledgeable about wine?" Wang Dan asked in surprise. "Hehe, it's just a hobby." Jia Hongjian laughed. "By the way, I remember watching Stephen Chow's movie, and there was something about Lafite...? How about this Lafite wine? How about the other wines that the waiter mentioned just now? What's the difference?" Wang Dan was curious. asked.Indeed, in this era, many people in China probably only learned about Lafite from Zhou Xingchi's "The God of Cookery", especially the provinces north of Lingnan, because these provinces are not so closely connected with Hong Kong and Taiwan, so the There is no contact with foreign wine.

"Lafite itself tends to be more perfect, but it has been hyped over the years, and the price has risen a bit outrageously. The taste of Margaux is a bit more coquettish, and the taste of Latour is too thick... Relatively speaking, the red face looks good on me. I think it's pretty good, by the way, do you know that the current owner of this Hongyanrong winery is the prince of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, or should be called Lord, because Luxembourg is not a kingdom, and their country leader is the Grand Duke..." Jia Hong Jian smiled and said to Wang Dan about popular science.

"Really? Eh? Then... how much does a bottle of wine from this prince's winery cost? Isn't it very expensive?" Wang Dan finally looked like an ordinary girl at this time. With such a high-end environment, it is a bit like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden"!It's amazing to see everything!

"It's not that expensive in other places. If you buy it in Europe, it's probably around 240 Euros, or about 2500 yuan..." Jia Hongjian smiled and gave a general introduction.But what he didn't say is that the red wine worth about 2500 yuan has almost increased by 10 times in this poor restaurant!That's right!Just now Jia Hongjian took a quick look at the wine list, and the slightly better red wine there is almost 2 yuan!So the price of the bottle of wine he ordered just now is [-] RMB!Your sister, compared to the price of this wine, the dishes you ordered only cost about a thousand yuan, which is really cheap!But since he came here to handle business this time, Jia Hongjian would naturally not be stingy.Besides, it's not like he can't afford the money now!

Jia Hongjian didn't tell the girl how much the wine was worth here, but kept it a secret.After a while, some dishes and wine came up.The dishes that Jia Hongjian ordered were intentionally similar to Western food, with appetizers, main courses, and desserts.The wine is here, of course it has to be opened directly, after all, it's just an appetizer for nothing!And today's dish contains a lot of seafood, so it's not impossible to eat it when eating the main course.

The bartender came over at this moment, took the bottle and uncorked it.Jia Hongjian chose a slightly slender goblet from a row of wine glasses on the table, from large to small, and put it on the side of the table, and asked the bartender to pour wine into the glass with a decanter.Speaking of which, the table setting of this Western food is really troublesome, and each row of wine glasses has its own use.The first is the first largest goblet on the right side of the dinner plate, which is a water glass with water in it.Then the one on the right side of the water glass is a white wine glass that is much smaller and thinner.Further to the right, there is a red wine glass that is thicker and fatter than a white wine glass.But there is a question... isn't your sister's restaurant a Chinese restaurant?Why should wine glasses be placed on the table in Chinese restaurants according to Western food? Hey!

But if I complain in my heart, I still have to talk about the rules a little bit.After the white wine was poured into the glass, Jia Hongjian picked up the glass and shook it, only to see the golden white wine hanging on the glass under the light.After a slight sniff, the head fragrance is full of flowers, cream, milk and honey, like a plump New World Chardonnay.Then the rich minerality in the wine is highlighted, transforming the aroma into a taste like morning fog in the orchard.Green apple, apricot, apple leaf and perfume fill the glass.

Slightly enter the mouth without swallowing, and taste the fresh peach and other fruit flavors in the wine.What is special about this wine is that all its flavors are complex and clear, producing a very strange ethereal feeling.It seems to be in an empty valley, where you can taste orchids.

In fact, the above-mentioned rushes are all nonsense made by Jia Hongjian!For him, white wine can only taste a little more sour than dry red wine.He can't drink any other scents and the like!But, these scents that come out of perception, can't they fool the girl?Wouldn't it be possible to pretend?Sure enough, after Jia Hongjian said a little bit about his feelings, Wang Dan was a little dumbfounded. She didn't seem to appreciate so many fragrances... At the same time, she was too embarrassed to question, otherwise she would appear as if It's too uneducated and too low-class, it's like you can't even taste these things... Jia Hongjian looked at Wang Dan like this with a smile on his face.From this point of view, this girl is a bit like a normal, ordinary girl!
