On the dining table covered with white tablecloth, plates of delicious French dishes were neatly placed on the table by the waiter. [26nbsp;] Su Meilin held her powdered cheeks in her hands and looked at Ye Feng, who was sitting opposite.
, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The waiter took out a bottle of Lafite red wine from the dining car and placed it on the dining table. Then he bent down slightly, opened the small drawer on the dining car, took out a small knife, and gently scratched the neck of the wine bottle.
He walked around and skillfully removed the lead seal from the wine bottle. The waiter was about to put the removed lead seal on the dining table when he suddenly found Ye Feng looking at his hands. The waiter's hands shook involuntarily.
After a moment, the lead seal in his hand also fell to the floor. The waiter's face changed slightly, he hurriedly squatted down, picked up the lead seal that fell on the ground, then stood up slowly, and put the lead seal on the dining car.
.
Seeing that the waiter made a mistake while he was busy, Ye Feng wanted to give the waiter a kind smile. Just when he raised his head and laid his eyes on the waiter's face, Ye Feng found that the waiter was looking at him nervously. Ye Feng felt
It's a little funny, I thought, in an old Western restaurant like Champs Elysées, the waiters inside are all well-trained, and it was just a small accident that the seal dropped on the ground. This waiter
I'm too nervous as a student. I'm not one of those unreasonable people, and I won't report you to the manager. You're scared. Thinking of this, Ye Feng showed a faint smile on his face and looked calmly.
Looking at the waiter, I hope to use my gentle attitude to relieve the waiter's inner tension.
However, Ye Feng's kindness did not resolve the nervousness in the waiter's heart. Looking at the faint smile on Ye Feng's face, the waiter became even more nervous. The waiter held the corkscrew in his right hand and turned it hard on the cork.
, and then placed the lever on the outer edge of the bottle mouth. The waiter held the wine bottle with his left hand and pushed the lever with his right hand. Hearing a pop, the corkscrew bounced up. When the corkscrew popped out, he still
A few pieces of sawdust were brought out from the cork, and they were sprinkled on the table. Looking at the specks of sawdust on the table, the waiter became even more frightened, his fair face turned red, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhu. The waiter hurriedly picked up the sawdust and put it on the dining cart.
Ye Feng still looked at the waiter with a smile, nodded gently, and signaled the waiter not to panic. The waiter took a deep breath, trying to relieve the tension in his heart, and then held the corkscrew in his right hand and pointed it at the cork.
The center rotated vertically a few times, and then the cork was slowly pulled out. The waiter looked at the red wine with the cork removed, with a hint of joy on his face, turned around and put the cork on the dining cart. Then he walked towards
Ye Feng nodded and smiled, picked up the wine bottle, and poured red wine into the wine glass in front of Ye Feng.
Looking at the bright red Lafite red wine in the glass, Ye Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. In Europe, eating Western food and drinking red wine is a matter of great etiquette. The waiter, from opening the bottle to pouring the wine, in this short time
, in less than a minute, several mistakes have been made one after another. First of all, Europeans respect women very much, which is the so-called ladies first. At the dinner table, if you want to pour wine, you should first serve the lady.
Secondly, in order to show its sincerity, the restaurant shows that the red wine just opened is the original untouched wine. After opening the lead seal and cork, it will neatly place the lead seal and cork on the table.
Wait until the guest has checked before the waiter can take away the lead seal and cork. Thirdly, according to the etiquette rules at the table, in order to show respect for the guest, when opening the cork, the action should be gentle and gentle, and no sound should be made.
Yes, after the waiter removes the lead seal, he should wipe the mouth of the bottle with a cloth to prevent the seal from staining the mouth of the bottle. When pouring wine for the guests, the waiter should use a white square towel folded into a two-inch wide strip.
Shaped, wrapped under the mouth of the bottle and fixed cross-wise, the purpose of this is to prevent the wine from dripping on the table.
If the waiter dropped the lead seal on the ground before, it was an accident caused by carelessness. Then the following mistakes that happened one after another are mistakes that a well-trained waiter should not make. It can even be said that
, these mistakes are not mistakes, but disrespectful. Especially in a prestigious old Western restaurant like Champs Elysees Western Restaurant, it is simply unimaginable that such a situation would occur.
Ye Feng was filled with doubts. He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the waiter who was pouring wine into his glass. The waiter nodded, bowed slightly, and poured the wine for Ye Feng with a smile on his face. Suddenly, the waiter's eyes
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Ye Feng was looking at him. The waiter's hand trembled involuntarily. The red wine that should have slowly flowed into the wine glass against the wall was suddenly poured into the wine glass. The red wine in the wine glass was poured into the wine glass.
The wine rose rapidly and was about to overflow the wine glass. The waiter hurriedly raised his hand to stop the pouring red wine. Looking at the red wine that was almost filling the entire glass, the waiter frowned and avoided Ye Ye.
Feng Wang's gaze immediately turned around and poured wine into the wine glass in front of Su Meilin.
Seeing the waiter's uneasy look, Su Meilin frowned, glanced at the waiter coldly, and then set her sights on the wine glass in front of Ye Feng. Looking at the glass of red wine that was as bright as blood,
Su Meilin blinked, a trace of pride and joy flashing in her big watery eyes.
The waiter in front of him was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, especially the waiter's evasive eyes, which made Ye Feng suddenly feel an ominous feeling in his heart. When the waiter served the dishes, he acted skillfully and behaved appropriately. He was the only one who opened and poured the wine.
There were many mistakes at the time. All the doubts in Ye Feng's mind made Ye Feng point his doubts at the bottle of Lafite red wine in the waiter's hand. Seeing the waiter pouring the wine for Su Meilin in a panic, Ye Feng showed a faint smile on his face.
With a smile, he stretched out his right hand and tapped the table with his fingers. "What kind of wine is this?"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the waiter couldn't help being startled, then slowly turned around, glanced at Ye Feng, then quickly lowered his head and whispered. "Sir, this is the Lafite red wine produced in 1982. This is
The red wine the lady ordered."
"Really? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this bottle of wine?" Ye Feng said lightly.
"How is that possible?" The waiter's face changed slightly, and then he put on a smiling face. "Sir, this is Lafite red wine imported from Chateau Lafite in Bordeaux, France. The floral aroma of Lafite red wine is fruity.
The aroma is outstanding, the wine tastes mellow and smooth, very elegant. Sir, you can taste it, the taste is absolutely authentic."
The sudden change of expression on the waiter's face did not escape Ye Feng's sharp eyes. At this time, Ye Feng was even more sure that the waiter had something up his sleeve. Ye Feng laughed and pointed to the wine glass on the table. "I'll just
No more tasting, since you know the characteristics of Lafite red wine, then you can taste it for me and see if there is anything wrong with this bottle of Lafite red wine."
Hearing that Ye Feng asked him to taste the wine, the waiter became even more panicked. Looking at the red wine on the table, a trace of fear flashed in the waiter's eyes and he stammered. "Sir, sir, this, this, this is not good, isn't it?
This is the red wine you paid for. How can I, me, how can I taste such expensive Lafite red wine?"
"Since I have spent money to buy this bottle of red wine, you don't have to worry about money. Moreover, as a waiter in the restaurant, you are also obliged to answer customers' questions. Okay, now come and taste this bottle
Lafite wine bar in 1982." Ye Feng said.
"This, this, this." The waiter hesitated, turned around, and glanced at the lobby manager who was standing in front of the bar. "Sir, let me ask the manager. Is this a problem?
Let us managers take care of it."
Seeing that the waiter wanted to leave, Ye Feng stood up, grabbed the waiter's arm, and picked up the wine glass on the table with the other hand. "You can't leave, first try the bottle of red wine you just opened.
"
At this time, Su Meilin, who was sitting opposite Ye Feng and had been silent, spoke up. "Ye Feng, why do you want this waiter to taste the wine? I have been to this restaurant many times, and the red wine they have here is indeed from France.
Originally imported from Chateau Lafite." Su Meilin paused, pointed to the red wine in the glass, and said with a smile. "1982 was a rare good vintage in the past 50 years. The climate conditions that year were very good, and the quality of the grapes was also good.
Very good, so the 1982 Lafite red wine is a very rare product. Hehe, I know you like to drink red wine, so I specially selected this bottle of 1982 Lafite red wine for you."
Hearing Su Meilin's words, the waiter hurriedly interrupted. "Sir, this is the red wine the lady ordered specifically for you. How can I taste it?"
"I said there's something wrong with this wine, so there's something wrong with it." Ye Feng gave Su Meilin a cold look, took a step to the side, and stood in front of the waiter. Ye Feng raised his glass, looked at the waiter, and said. "
What do you think, is there something wrong with this bottle of wine?"
"Oh, God." The waiter looked at the red wine in the wine glass, his expression became even more frightened, he took a step back, then reached out and made a sign of the cross on his chest. "Sir, how could you do this, in a Western restaurant?
When eating, you must pay attention to etiquette."
"Etiquette." Ye Feng laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, and brought it to the waiter's mouth. "When you poured wine for us just now, why didn't you care about etiquette at all? I think I don't need to say that you are here.
I'm so rude. Now, please try this glass of Lafite wine first."
"No, don't." Looking at the red wine that was about to touch his lips, the waiter hurriedly waved his palm and hit Ye Feng's left hand holding the red wine.
Ye Feng's left shoulder sank, and the left hand holding the red wine quickly dropped down, avoiding the waiter's palm. Then he raised his left hand and put the red wine to the waiter's mouth. "Tell me, why are you like this?
Afraid of this glass of Lafite red wine. If you don’t tell me, I will pour this glass of wine into your stomach.”
Hearing the noise in the restaurant, the customers who were dining all turned their attention to Ye Feng, and the lobby manager who was standing in front of the bar also came over. The lobby manager looked at Ye Feng, bowed respectfully, and said.
"Sir, Wiltord just joined the restaurant as a waiter a week ago. Please forgive me if he has any poor hospitality."
Seeing the lobby manager speaking for himself, the waiter Wiltord said hurriedly. "Sir, I apologize to you for my mistake just now, and please forgive me for my mistake."
"Mistake, what mistake? What tricks did you do in this bottle of wine? Tell me quickly, otherwise I will pour this glass of wine into your stomach immediately." Ye Feng said coldly.
Wiltord frowned, glanced at Ye Feng secretly, and then hid behind the lobby manager. "Manager Blanco, please help me quickly. This bottle of Lafite red wine is really fine."
The lobby manager Blanco stretched out his hand with a smile and wanted to take the wine glass from Ye Feng's hand. "Sir, since you said there is something wrong with the wine, let me taste it and see what you think."
"No problem." Ye Feng handed the wine glass to Blanco and said coldly. "I will tell you for the last time, there is something wrong with this glass of wine. If you die after drinking the wine, then don't blame me in advance.
Didn't warn you."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Blanco frowned, looked at the red wine in his hand, and then looked up at Ye Feng. Seeing Ye Feng's serious look, Blanco also had a trace of doubt in his heart. "
Sir, is there really something wrong with this glass of wine?"
Ye Feng snorted coldly, looked at Wiltord who was standing behind Blanco, and said, "If you don't believe it, just taste it. If you don't dare to taste it, let the person who opened the bottle of wine taste it."
"This, this, this." Blanc hesitated for a while, then turned around and looked at Wiltord. Blanc was about to ask the whole story, but Wiltord suddenly reached out and took off the t-shirt on his chest.
The restaurant sign was thrown to the ground angrily. "Manager Blanco, I am now submitting my resignation to you. I will quit my job."
After Wiltord finished speaking, he ran away. Ye Feng looked at Wiltord's panic, a faint smile appeared on his face, and with a tap of his toes, he immediately jumped up and passed over Bran, who was a little confused.
Ke, flew up in the air and kicked Wiltord to the ground. Ye Feng bent down, reached out and grabbed Wiltord's shoulders, and pulled Wiltord up from the ground. Ye Feng stared into Wiltord's eyes.
, said coldly. "Who are you? Are you a member of the Broken Thorn Alliance or a member of the Holy Cross Society?"
"I, I, I." Wiltord hesitated and argued. "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just a foreigner who came to China to work. China is a country with ancient civilization.
How can a country of etiquette bully a foreigner who is alone and weak?"
"Don't talk to me those useless nonsense." Ye Feng released his right hand holding Wiltord's shoulder, looked at the wall clock on the wall of the restaurant, and said calmly. "Since you came to kill me, you should know about me.
Identity. Now, I'll give you half a minute to think about it. If you don't tell the truth, you know the consequences."
Wiltord looked at the smile on Ye Feng's face and shuddered involuntarily. Wiltord raised his head and looked at the wall clock on the wall. On the wall clock with a European classical style, the long hands beat one by one.
The clear and rhythmic clicking sound made by the pointer was like a life-threatening note, striking Wiltord's heart heavily.
Wiltord's face became darker and darker, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The expression on his face was extremely complicated, with fear and despair appearing alternately. Suddenly, Wiltord stretched out his right hand, made a cross on his chest, and said loudly. "
