On Wednesday night, at Cao Ji's private restaurant, Sun Dahai came down early to help and cooked with Chef Cao, Ah Dai.
The main dish tonight is roe deer.
This roe deer weighed fifty kilograms. It was said that it was smuggled from Bangzi Country and was bought whole by Chef Cao.
Chef Cao has marinated the roe deer meat since yesterday. Today he plans to make sizzling roe deer meat and a cold dish, garlic roe deer meat.
Sun Dahai didn't invite many people today, so Chef Cao planned to add a few more dishes, which was enough.
Wen Bixia was the first to come.
Her family strictly controlled her, which aroused her rebellious psychology. She worked part-time while studying, achieved financial independence, and left home to live alone at an early age.
In 1981, she was noticed by the director and started to drop out of school to film. The little girl had quite a personality. After making a few films, she earned some money and now she is back to school.
Sun Dahai went to visit the class a few days ago, just in time for her last film to be finalized. From now on, her identity has changed back to a middle school student.
"Are you really not filming anymore?" Sun Dahai thought the little girl was quite interesting.
"I don't know what will happen in the future. At least from now on, I will study with peace of mind in the remaining years of middle school and stop filming. Dahai, you don't know, filming is very tiring. It's okay to film a film occasionally,
I can't stand filming continuously."
While the two were chatting, Fa Ge showed his trademark smile and walked into Cao Ji's Private Restaurant, followed by Leslie Cheung.
Sun Dahai hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and after Fa Ge's introduction, he shook hands with Leslie Cheung.
Leslie Cheung's face is really youthful. No wonder he can play the role of a young police academy graduate in "A Better Tomorrow".
"Dahai, Ah Hong hasn't arrived yet?" Fa Ge asked, handing Sun Dahai a gift, a bottle of 1959 Lafite.
"Hong Gu hasn't arrived yet. Hey, Brother Fa, this is Lafite from 1959. How do you know this wine is good?"
"Didn't you say this yourself when we were having dinner last year? When I was filming a movie at the beginning of the year, the sponsor had sales quotas for several major wineries in the Xiangjiang region, so I bought a box of 59-year-old Lafite.
"
When they had dinner together last year, Sun Dahai accidentally said that the climate in Europe this year is very suitable for the growth of grapes. It is estimated that the quality of the wine produced in France this year will be very high, and it should be better than the wine in 1959.
He said it was unintentional, but the listener was interested, so Fa Ge remembered it. It happened that the sponsor specialized in imported wine and had ready stock, so Fa Ge bought a box.
Today, I was invited to dinner, so Brother Fa took a bottle as a gift and gave it to Sun Dahai. Unexpectedly, what he took out was the most famous weapon in his previous life, the genuine Lafite from 1959.
Many people only know the 1982 Lafite. In fact, it is internationally recognized that the quality of red wine brewed in the Bordeaux region in 1959 is no worse than that of 1982.
Similar to 1982, the climate conditions in the Bordeaux region in 1959 were also very suitable for grape growth. The top red wines produced by local wineries this year were naturally of excellent quality.
It takes one to two years for top-quality red wine to be brewed and aged before it is bottled and put on the market, and some may take even longer.
The drinking period of most top-quality red wines is ten to twenty years. It is now 1983, and the wine merchants that Fa Ge knows really did not fool him. The 1959 Lafite is now the most suitable time to drink.
Therefore, the top red wine brewed in the Bordeaux region in 1982 must be stored until at least the 1990s before it can gradually reach its optimal taste.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the top brand red wines from major wineries, also called genuine wines.
Due to grape quality not reaching special grade or minor flaws in the brewing process, the winery will also produce some second-label wines of lower quality. Due to the large output and low price, the sales management of these second-label wines is not like that of the first-class wine.
So strict.
"Brother Fa, do they have annual quotas for top wineries?" Sun Dahai quickly asked.
"Yes, they are engaged in wine trading and investment. What, you want to buy it?"
"Well, I want to buy more, not only Lafite, but also wine from other wineries." Sun Dahai thought of the situation in his previous life and couldn't help but think about buying wine.
"If you want a few bottles, I have them at home. I bought a box and now I have 11 bottles at home."
"Brother Fa, I not only want to buy wine from 1959, but also want to reserve some wine from last year. The quantity will not be small. It is better to collect your wine first. The wine of this year is of high quality and will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
Leslie Cheung interjected: "I have a friend who is a winemaker and works in a winery in Bordeaux. When he came back for vacation this year, he also said that last year was a good year in the Bordeaux region and the grapes were of extremely high quality. This batch of wine will be great.
, he knew that I like to drink red wine and persuaded me to order more."
"Okay, Fa Ge, Leslie, everyone, please have some, and the three of us will make a reservation together."
Chow Yun-fat said nonchalantly: "Okay, last year's new wine is not expensive anyway, I will also order two boxes. When I go back in the evening, I will find a phone number to contact them, and then I will tell you."
He looked at Wen Bixia and asked, "Eileen, would you like to buy some with us?"
Wen Bixia rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want it."
"What do you want?" Hong Gu burst in furiously.
Fa Ge told her that the three of them wanted to book 1982 red wine, but Hong Gu immediately lost interest.
"A bunch of drunkards! Let me tell you, the sea is still small, so don't lead him astray."
"Haha, Hong Gu, you are mistaken. It was Sun Dahai who initiated this matter. He is also a little drunkard." Wen Bixia fanned the flames.
"Wen Bixia, why did Brother Fa call you Irene? What's your nickname?" Sun Dahai asked Wen Bixia.
"Irene is my English name. Dahai, do you have an English name? If not, let me help you choose one." Wen Bixia, who has resumed her student status, is very eager to help her junior students choose names.
"Everyone is here, let's go to the private room first." Sun Dahai ignored Wen Bixia and invited everyone into the room to sit down.
In his previous life, Sun Dahai had an English name. It was given by his English teacher when he started learning English in junior high school. It is a very common name Tom.
When he entered high school, he discovered that among the twenty boys in a class, there were actually three Toms. The probability of having the same name was higher than that of people born in the 1950s, who were named "Liberation", "Victory", and "Jianjun".
Those who are "patriotic" are much higher.
Therefore, Sun Dahai has never been interested in English names. His passport also uses Chinese pinyin.
Everyone sat down after entering the private room. Wen Bixia has not forgotten this topic. It seems that she will not give up easily if she does not give Sun Dahai an English name today.
Leslie Cheung also agrees with Wen Bixia's view.
He said to Sun Dahai: "Having an English name is actually quite useful in many places. For example, when two people meet and you don't know how to call them, calling them by their English name is more appropriate than their Chinese name."
