Chapter 371 Champagne

Everyone wiped their manual chopsticks with hot towels and started to eat. The waiter poured champagne for everyone.

Champagne refers to the white wine produced in the Champagne region of France, but the word Champagne was first used on wine by a village in Switzerland in 1657. The village was called Champagne, and the wine in the Champagne region of France began to use the word Champagne in 1906 .

In 1998, France asked Switzerland to stop using the word champagne on the condition of opening the European sky to Switzerland. Switzerland agreed, so champagne became a special wine term in France, and champagne became a French specialty.But in fact, champagne was first born in England, at least 20 years earlier than France. At that time, champagne did not have bubbles higher than six times the pressure of air.

Later, the second fermentation winemaking method was produced in France, which made champagne a sparkling wine.Champagne was also produced in China, using French techniques, but was later discontinued due to the protection clauses of European and American laws on champagne.

The waiter holds the lower part of the bottle neck with his left hand, and the bottle mouth is tilted [-] degrees outward. With his right hand, he peels off the wrapping paper of the bottle mouth and loosens the twisted part at the lock mouth of the wire mesh sleeve.While removing the net cover with the right hand, hold down the bottle cork that is about to be flushed out with the thumb of the left hand at the right time, then replace the left thumb with the napkin cloth in the right hand, and pinch the bottle stopper with the palm of your hand.

When the bottle cork was flushed out, the right hand quickly opened the bottle cork to the right, and the crisp sound of "Bo" was not very loud, but it was clearly heard.

When pouring champagne, the waiter holds the middle of the bottle with his left hand, supports the neck of the bottle with his index finger, and gently holds the bottom of the bottle with his right hand.When pouring into the cup for the first time, the bubbles will spray up. The waiter first pours a small amount, and then pours more than half of the glass when the bubbles decrease, and then straightens the bottle upwards to prevent the wine from leaking out.

Among all the wines, only champagne must be sealed with a cork. Other types of wine don’t matter. because of what.

Champagne is the king of wine, known as the wine of victory.

On Kee’s old store sells Sec and Demi Sec from the Beaumont-Sur-Vesle winery in France, sweet white wines. This is the wine that is most suitable for Chinese food and is suitable for drinking by Chinese people. What kind of relationship did Lao Chen get it in? The Champagne produced in 88 and 90, the quality of the champagne in these two years is the best over the years.

Chinese people always look at their interests when they learn something from outside, and taking the superficial information out of context is a common way to open it up.

The definition of the so-called famous brand and famous wine is determined by the Chinese people. It is a culture for foreigners to drink wine. There are no brands and famous wines. All wines do not have brands. The so-called brand is just the name of the winery produced.

Like Lafite, it's just that Chateau Lafite produced a batch of relatively high-quality wine because of the right sunshine that year. It doesn't mean that Chateau Lafite's wine is a famous wine or a big brand.

The price of wine is also determined by the quality rather than the brand.

Perhaps this year the winery produced a batch of high-quality wines that became famous all over the world and were sought after for a while, but in the second year, because of some problems, the quality of the wine dropped and was immediately worthless and abandoned, so foreign wineries are desperately researching. Craftsmanship strives to improve grape planting techniques and improve the quality of wine instead of advertising and bragging about the world with the brand.

It seems that something changes its taste once it arrives in China.

The waiter held the bottle of champagne on a napkin cloth, bowed slightly and said: "The wine is ready, please use it slowly." The champagne in his hand was gently corked and placed on a special stand with ice under the stand. It can effectively maintain the temperature of wine.

Aunt Wang picked up the goblet and looked at it and said, "What kind of wine is this? It smells good, isn't it intoxicating?"

The waiter bent down and said not far from Aunt Wang's ear, "Auntie, this is French champagne, that is, white wine, sweet, drink a little less and not intoxicating or overpowering. It feels similar to soda water, with a slightly higher alcohol content than beer. .”

Aunt Wang took a sip slowly and said with a happy smile: "It's delicious. It's much better than that beer. It's like fruit juice. I'll keep a few bottles at home and drink it at night. By the way, how much is a bottle of this wine?"

The waiter glanced at Xiaowei, who smiled and said, "It's imported from France. We sell a bottle of this for [-] yuan."

Aunt Wang was drinking, and she choked and coughed after hearing Xiaowei's words. Xiaohong and the waiter hurriedly patted their backs and coughed more than a dozen times. Thank you, and then said: "My god, I was scared to death, such a bottle costs more than 1000 yuan? This is not drinking, isn't this just drinking money? Come on, I can't afford this stuff, or don't drink it. Got it."

Xiaowei smiled and said: "Drink as much as you like, how many bottles you can drink if you drink hard, I can pay for it, you and my uncle can be good, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, be happy Being healthy and healthy is better than anything else, earning money is just spending money, so keep it and see?"

Chen Hui said: "Yes, Auntie, don't always think about how much money you have. We always earn more than we spend. You have to learn from my parents, just enjoy it. Earning money and spending money is the business of Xiaowei and me. .”

Aunt Wang glanced at Xiaowei, her eyes fell on her daughter's little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, I'll drink it when you bring it."

There are more people eating now, more than half of them are seated downstairs, and I don't know how many tables are in the private room upstairs.When there were too many people, it became noisy, and there were more smokers. The waiter went over and turned on the exhaust.

As soon as the music played on the stereo stopped, the entertainers in classical costumes slowly walked to the middle stage holding the guqin, bowed slightly to all sides, then sat down and put the piano flat, closed their eyes for a while, and moved their fingers , "Zheng", there was a silence in the arena when the sound of the piano was suppressed, everyone closed their eyes and listened, even the walking people slowed down significantly.

After a Guqin piece, the sound of the qin has not yet dissipated. The girl who played stood up and bowed holding the qin and left the stage. A boy in ancient costume came up and did not speak. He lowered his eyebrows and said to Chen Hui in a low voice, "Are you adding someone?"

Chen Hui looked at the stage and said: "The ones from the Conservatory of Music have signed an internship base agreement. Now the stage is not empty all day long. There are too many people who want to come, so we can only choose."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Yes, choose a few more ancient musical instruments and change up some tricks. Is there any song that can be sung with the musical instrument? Ask?"

Chen Hui scratched his head and said, "Yes, there are too few of them. After listening to a few paragraphs, I don't think it's suitable. Take your time and find someone to write a few paragraphs if you can't."

Xiaowei gave Chen Hui a sideways look and said, "You want to write pop songs? It's not easy to do, don't draw a tiger if it's an anti-dog."

Chen Hui said: "No, I know what's in my heart, you can listen to it before you talk about it." Xiaowei nodded, took a bite of a fried dumpling, looked at the stuffing, and nodded.

Chen Hui took a sip of champagne and asked, "Hey, your house is so big, does it have my room?"
