She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin like jade, long burgundy hair that was combed neatly in big waves, and a white French romantic fairy palace crochet flower lace embroidery dress that perfectly outlined her figure.
It's just that such a young girl looks a little cramped at this moment. With his head down, his fair face and swan-like neck were slightly reddish, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his face was full of regret.
"sorry I'm late."
The sommelier looked at the girl standing by the table with a serious face, and said calmly: "You go. Being late is an unforgivable mistake."
"Why not give her a chance?" Lan Jue's voice sounded.
Sommelier sits still, "Late shows disrespect."
Lan Jue said: "We young people all have a love for beauty, why don't we just look at it for my sake and give her a chance."
The barista in a white suit said: "He said we are old." With a smile on his face, he seemed to be saying, I am not a troublemaker.
The sommelier frowned.
But the gourmet said: "Jeweler, for the sake of the bottle of wine in your hand, I will support you this time."
The sommelier subconsciously turned his head to look at Lan Jue, and when his eyes fell on the wine bottle in Lan Jue's hand, he couldn't look away anymore.
The wine taster who had been calm and serious stood up suddenly, his lips and the finger pointing at Lan Jue trembled almost at the same time, "I just let you take a bottle!" He said this sentence almost gnashing his teeth.
Lan Jue said seriously: "I am not a casual person."
"Give it back to me!" The sommelier strode up to Lan Jue and snatched the wine from him.
Lan Jue didn't dodge, the wine reached the sommelier's hand, but in his hand was a complete cork, a cork exuding a faint wine aroma.
"Bastard, you actually opened it!" The sommelier said angrily.
"Swearing is an unforgivable mistake of a nobleman." Lan Jue shook the cork in his hand to him.
The girl in the white dress also raised her head at this time, and also saw the bottle of wine, her aqua-blue eyes were full of sparkling brilliance.
The sommelier's breathing seemed a little heavy, and after several gasps, he grabbed the silver metal piece in Lan Jue's other hand, "Eva, warm water, white bread. Seventy-two months old Spanish Iberico ham, sliced."
"Yes, sir."
"Wait a minute." The gourmet called Eva, he stood up, looked at the sommelier who was holding the wine bottle tightly with a half smile, and said, "So you still have seventy-two months of black-haired ham. Things that I usually don’t want to take out.”
The wine taster said viciously: "The ancestors brought a total of nineteen wines back then, and there are still fourteen wines left. This was originally reserved for my own enjoyment. It is cheaper for you."
The gourmet smiled and said, "Don't be annoyed, you need a good mood to taste food and wine. Besides, one ham can be eaten many times. Eva, bring up the whole ham, and then take a bigger disk, twenty candles, and I'll do it." Deal with it."
Eva looked at the sommelier, who nodded to her. I don't know if he listened to the gourmet's persuasion, but the angry expression on his face gradually dissipated.
Lan Jue went back to his seat and sat down, looked at the girl who was quietly swallowing, and said, "Do you know this bottle of wine?"
The girl nodded vigorously.
Lan Jue smiled and said, "Tell me."
The girl said without hesitation: "This is Romanée-Conti, the king of wine in the world. He is also the king of the Burgundy region in France. Burgundy is proud of having it. A wine taster once said that Burgundy relies on a Romanée-Conti can beat the eight famous Bordeaux chateaus. It was the most expensive red wine in the world in the Yuan Dynasty.”
Lan Jue said: "Tell me about its taste."
The girl's eyes showed an instant fascination, "It is a taste that can penetrate the taste buds and gums, as if it can penetrate into every cell of the human body. The rich and long-lasting aroma is delicate and mellow, with delicate and powerful tannins, balanced and It is also condensed, with a velvety texture that is smooth and elegant, and almost combines the advantages of the top Pinot Noir grapes. It is an unrepeatable dreamy wine. After entering the new era, the mother planet has been in the early stage due to environmental changes and past destruction After 2025, there has never been a real Romanee-Conti produced."
After hearing the girl's words, Lan Jue, the sommelier and the gourmet all showed surprise on their faces.
The sommelier asked, "Have you ever drank it?"
The girl nodded slightly shyly, "I once had the honor to taste a glass of Romanée-Conti in 1981. Although it is not the best vintage, the taste is imprinted in my soul."
The gourmet smiled and said, "She is a girl with taste. It seems that the jeweler is right again."
Lan Jue looked at the sommelier, who nodded and said, "For Romanee-Conti's sake, you have passed the test. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, as a nobleman, you can't be late. Whatever your reason."
The girl saluted deeply, "Yes."
The sommelier said: "You go. Eva will go through the formalities for you."
"Thank you." The girl saluted again. She hesitated for a while, as if mustering up the courage to ask: "If I get the Skyfire badge in the future, can I come to you to buy Romanee-Conti?"
The sommelier waved his hands indifferently, and said, "I only entertain friends for Romanee-Conti."
There was a trace of disappointment on the girl's face, and after saluting again, she turned and left.
Several waiters brought four Pinot Noir glasses, a plate of sliced white bread, four glasses of warm water, and a huge ham that was one meter long and about thirty centimeters in diameter at its thickest point. A square white porcelain plate.
The sommelier looked at Lan Jue coldly, "I won't ask you to help me assess again from now on."
Lan Jue smiled slightly and said, "Wine taster, you must learn to be tolerant. Good things must be shared with everyone to be fun."
The sommelier snorted, picked up Romanee-Conti, put his thumb into the depression at the bottom of the bottle, put his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on the side of the bottle, and lifted the bottle with one hand.
Looking at the wine label on the bottle, he murmured: "Romanee Conti in 2005, you are too ruthless!"
Lan Jue looked at the cup in front of him, "I see that there is still one from 1990."
The gourmet stared, "Then why don't you take it? Although 2005 is the top vintage, 90 is the legendary vintage of Conti!"
Lan Jue said righteously: "Be a human being and stay on the front line. I don't want to be blacklisted by sommeliers."
The gourmet lined up the twenty candles with a half-smile, "Don't worry, others may, but we still won't."
The sommelier said angrily, "Do I owe you?"
Lan Jue and Gourmet looked at each other and smiled, and said almost in unison: "Drinking friends are rare."
