  Xiao Rou's eyes fluttered slightly as she subconsciously listened to another voice in her ear... "In general, the selection of vintage champagne is a long waiting process. Not every year is suitable for producing vintage champagne. Only when the wind, frost, rain, snow, sunshine, and geographical conditions are just right, do top winemakers see the maturity and taste of the grapes as stable enough to nod in agreement. But these years are too hard to wait for. This year's rainfall was a bit more, next year's wind and snow were a bit stronger, and after another year, one morning you wake up to find that frost had almost destroyed the entire vineyard. In nearly twenty years, the most beautiful, sunniest, and highest-sugar champagne base wines actually only occurred in four years: 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1996..."

  Everyone stared at Xiaorou in shock, their faces uneasy, yet she muttered the answers under her breath, and those answers were indeed very accurate!

  Cao Yingjie stretched out his hand and pulled at the corner of Chen Manhong's sleeve, saying in a low voice: "Hey!! Is this girl possessed by a ghost?!"

  Chen Manhong stared blankly at Xiao Rou, who was usually silly and careless, but at this moment, she seemed to have transformed into a different person, answering these questions with ease and without revealing any weakness.

  Lawrence looked at the girl in front of him with a slight surprise and said: "Come over here... let me take a look at you..."

  Xiao Rou was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, but she still swallowed hard and stepped forward to stand before Lawrence, asking softly: "What are your orders?"

  Lawrence gazed at the girl in front of him, her eyes darting back and forth with excessive tension and fear, her expression suppressed, without revealing any explosive force. He couldn't help but raise a smile, slightly turning his body, stretching out his hand to gently place it on the wine rack in the cigar area, and continued to ask: "Later when eating caviar, what year of cigar do you think pairs better?"

  Xiao Rou blinked, suddenly panicked, and looked up at the champagne in front of her. The bottles lay quietly, some with years on them, others without, green, yellow, pink, and pale blue... She bit her lip and lowered her head, unsure what to do?

  Everyone is silently waiting for her...

  Chen Manhong looked at her with a rather sarcastic expression.

  Jiang Tiankuai also spared her a glance, looking at the girl in front of him from the side of his face...

  Tang Ke Xin's voice came slowly: "Later, the caviar, if there is avocado, cherry tomatoes, mango, fresh crab meat, egg yolk sauce, and scallions, this appetizer will have a very lively taste. Mr. Lawrence, you pay attention to the balance of flavors, so I suggest you choose the 1996 vintage champagne from Xiya Winery. That year, Xiya Winery had the most perfect weather in a century! The rain was gentle, and the sunshine was sufficient. The sugar content slowly fell from the top of the grapevine to the first grape at the bottom. The entire vineyard was filled with lively and happy air, carrying a sweet flavor. On that day, when the grapes were ripest, the winemaker picked the first grape under everyone's expectation, put it in his mouth, and finally showed a very satisfied smile! And, please, when you drink the champagne later, don't chill it for more than thirty minutes, because the ice plate with caviar has already lowered the temperature of the food. So, twenty-five minutes is enough to chill the champagne..."

  This time thoroughly shocked everyone!

  Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie widened their eyes in unison, staring incredulously at the young maid in front of them!!

  Lawrence looked at Xiaorou as if he had discovered a new continent, and smiled with surprise.

  Jiang Tiankuai also looked at Xiao Rou, his eyes becoming more and more focused!!

  "Manager Chen! Manager Cao!" Lawrence couldn't help but gaze at Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie with a mixture of surprise and admiration, smiling in approval: "I didn't expect that the staff at Royal Restaurant would be so talented! An employee from the wine cellar actually has such profound knowledge of champagne and food! It seems you two are indeed excellent managers, worthy of being a model for Western restaurants! Today's test has revealed that our Asia Grand Hotel is truly a treasure trove of hidden talents!"

  Jiang Tiankuai also smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie with some satisfaction, saying: "Well done!"

  Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie both smiled complacently, as if they had won the lottery, saying: "Thank you for your praise, President!"

  "It's not just praise..." Lawrence said with a smile: "I promised, I answered correctly, there's a reward!"

  Jiang Tiankuai listened, then thought for a moment before speaking in a calm tone: "An employee's excellence is all thanks to the cooperation of colleagues and the leadership of superiors. Starting this month, the Yu Zun restaurant will increase everyone's salary by 10%, and on top of the original holiday time, we will add five more paid days off for employees as encouragement!"
