Chapter 54: The Rabbit Does Not Eat Grass at the Edge of Its Burrow
Zhang Yifei had said from the first day of work that he wanted to treat the employees of the sixth department, but he had always been too busy, which made Zhang Yifei very entangled. Today he was finally able to fulfill his wish.
Zhang Yifei and his colleagues had already finished work at six o'clock, it was time to eat, so there were many people, the private rooms were all booked out, finally they could only find a good location in the hall, actually the hall is not bad, the place is spacious and lively.
Everyone sat around a table, looking very harmonious.
"What's for dinner? Don't be polite with me!" Zhang Yifei said with a smile to everyone.
"Brothers and sisters, what's the point of being polite to Director Zhang anymore!" Wang He said with a smile after glancing at Zhang Yifei.
"Call me Director Zhang, after work we're just brothers from the same city, just call me by my name." Zhang Yifei furrowed his brow, to be honest he really disliked the atmosphere in the company.
"Alright, we'll call you Fei Ge from now on." A woman beside him said with a smile.
Zhang Yifei was instantly delighted, as there's nothing he'd rather hear than someone calling him "brother", how cool is that.
These days, brothers just hang out in society.
Everyone around was chatting, taking turns speaking, and Han Xinyi couldn't help but admire Zhang Yifei's skills. In such a short time, he was able to liven up the atmosphere to this extent, and everyone was still chatting about all sorts of things. At least she, Han Xinyi, didn't have this skill. After all, women are always women.
In special circumstances, women are after all the weaker sex.
When going out for a meal, food is secondary and wine is important. Anyone who has been struggling outside for many years knows this point.
"What is everyone drinking?" Zhang Yifei was now a bit embarrassed, just now he hadn't noticed that there were more women than men in the sales department.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and for a moment, no one could make up their mind.
"Alright, none of you are speaking up, I'll decide for you." Zhang Yifei snapped his fingers and called over the waiter.
"Three bottles of beer, four bottles of Latour, are there any from '82?" Zhang Yifei asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"That's all there is."
When Zhang Yifei mentioned Latour, Han Xinyi's eyes lit up as she looked at Zhang Yifei, thinking that this man was not simple, and he actually knew Latour.
"What is Latour?" Wang He asked out of curiosity.
"It's red wine, Latour translates to Chinese as La Tu, it's France's most famous red wine producer, the 82 vintage is the best red wine and also the world's most expensive vineyard." Han Xinyi said softly while looking at Zhang Yifei.
Everyone stared at Zhang Yifei in shock, they never thought that Zhang Yifei would invite them to drink such expensive wine.
They only know Lafite red wine and have never heard of Latour.
"Do you know much about red wine?" Han Xinyi asked curiously.
"Not bad!" Zhang Yifei smiled lightly, when he was an assassin, his favorite things were red wine and women, especially the 1982 red wine which became his favorite. Although Zhang Yifei knew a lot about red wine, it's better to be humble.
"I won't drink, I can only taste the sweetness. It's said that French red wine is the best in the world, why?" asked He Xinyi. She had also drunk Latour before, but couldn't tell what it was like, only knowing it was a bit sweet and smooth to drink.
"France is not only the country that produces the most varieties of wine in the world, but also a country that has produced countless high-end wines known throughout the world, with extremely varied flavors and types, hence its reputation as the kingdom of wine."
"Because of its unique climate, soil, water source and sunshine, the wine here is the best in the world!" Zhang Yifei explained.
"So is Latour more expensive than Lafite?" Wang He asked cautiously.
Zhang Yifei smiled and didn't answer, because he also didn't know how to respond well. It can only be said that both are evenly matched, and most of the red wines from 1982 are top-notch, as it is widely known that the taste of 1982 red wine is the best.
"It's probably over ten thousand yuan, Lafite and Latour are incomparable." Han Xinyi said calmly.
Although she is not very familiar with red wine, she still understands its market situation.
Zhang Yifei couldn't help but look at Han Xinyi with new eyes. This woman was not simple, she actually understood so much.
"How can you afford it? Fei Ge, your monthly salary is only so much, how can you afford this bottle of wine?" one of the girls asked in surprise.
"It should be about right! I'm a person who likes red wine." Zhang Yifei smiled, seeing that the dishes were already on the table, and invited everyone to eat.
"Head, let's have a drink of red wine together!" Wang He suddenly suggested.
Zhang Yifei agreed to the other party's request without any hesitation.
"Does everyone know the steps of drinking?"
"Look, shake, smell, taste. This is common sense that one should know with just a little understanding of ordinary wine."
"Yes! First, let's look at the wine. The color of red wine is rich and varied, with diversity and complexity. Different varieties of red grapes produce wines with different colors. We usually use plain glass cups because they are odorless and won't affect the natural fruit aroma and fragrance of the wine. Also, since glass cups are colorless, we can accurately judge the color of the wine. The older the red wine is, the lighter its color will become. On the other hand, the older the white wine is, the deeper its color will become."
"When swirling the wine, the glass should have a stem so that you can slowly swirl the wine in the glass to reveal its characteristics. Avoid holding the bowl of the glass with your hand as it will affect the temperature of the wine due to the heat from your hand. When smelling the wine, pay attention to smell it without swirling first; the aroma perceived is the "first nose" of the wine; after swirling the glass and smelling again, the aroma perceived is the "second nose", which more truly reflects the inner quality of the wine."
"The final and most satisfying part - the entrance tasting. Take a light sip of red wine, let it evenly distribute in your mouth, don't swallow yet. Let it roll around in your mouth, allowing it to fully contact the cells inside your mouth, so you can taste and judge its subtle differences in flavor...!" Zhang Yifei was explaining orally while demonstrating, making the surrounding crowd feel like they were being taught. Especially when they saw Zhang Yifei's elegant movements, all the girls' eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Awesome, you're really something! With this move, you'll definitely hook up with countless girls." Wang He gave Zhang Yifei a thumbs-up.
"Pervert! That's called heterosexual attraction!" Zhang Yifei looked at Wang He with disdain.
This guy is really bad at talking, didn't he see so many beautiful women around, yet he still dared to say that he was being flirted with.
Although it is said that "a rabbit does not eat the grass at the edge of its nest", but it may be possible that the rabbit is not ready yet, wait until it is ready and see if it eats or not.
And now Zhang Yifei is already a prepared rabbit.
