Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Flip the Table, Damn it!
After saying these words, Zhao Zhenhao was simply speechless!
Who the hell researches even how to preserve the wine in such detail, big bro!
And clearly, he wasn’t done yet, or why would it be called “river-talk mode”…
“After talking about preservation, next comes the pre-drinking preparation,” Wang Hao said, making Zhao Zhenhao kneel again, “Before drinking, first, you should stand it upright in the wine cellar for three days to settle. When you open it, indeed you have to taste the wine, but not just to test if it’s good or bad. It’s more about tasting its flavor to determine its condition, and thus decide how long it needs to breathe. Letting the wine breathe is one of the most important steps when tasting red wine. A bottle of Lafite in normal condition needs to breathe in a decanter for at least two hours. It needs time to release its fragrance, or else it won’t taste much better than vinegar.”
“Skyfire Avenue” is a great book, comrades! That’s where I learned all about Lafite! I was curious when I was reading it and even looked up some information; I never thought it could be used in situations like this…
Hahahahaha!
I’m invincible today; bring it on!
After he finished speaking, Zhao Zhenhao was completely overwhelmed. Even though he had prepared over thirty contingency plans, he hadn’t expected Wang Hao to explain Lafite so thoroughly!
He had spent five hundred thousand on these two genuine bottles of Lafite!
But damn it, his moment to shine was completely stolen by that damn Wang Hao!
How on earth does this young man’s brain work, knowing such comprehensive stuff?!
“So that’s how it is,” Bai Yaning pursed her lips and smiled, “I’ve really gained some knowledge today.”
Even Miss Yaning said so, what else could he say? Zhao Zhenhao quickly showed his grace, he even specifically stood up and bowed to Wang Hao, “Thank you, Mr. Wang Hao, for enlightening me. I always felt that drinking it this way was a bit of a waste, but I couldn’t explain why. Today, after hearing your words, it’s all clear to me, impressive!”
How can you not say his cultivation is indeed extraordinary? Anyone else would have already exploded in anger. Look at him, still so graceful.
“Ah, you are too polite,” Wang Hao was a bit embarrassed, “I just happened to learn a bit about it before, and just used it. To be honest, I haven’t actually tasted it myself; haha, it’s only you rich folks who can say ‘let’s drink’ and just get two bottles, I can’t compare!”
Such hypocrisy! Damn the hypocrisy!
Wang Hao originally thought this was just a casual dinner, just eat a bit and chat, and that would be it.
But upon arriving, he realized this meal wasn’t easy to get through—it was a battle of wits and strength!
Luckily I’m clever!
Speaking of Lafite, the waiter took it to aerate, and it was time for the main course.
Zhao Zhenhao clapped his hands, and soon three Italian top chefs pushed a cart over. When they reached the three of them, the lead chef first bowed to Bai Yaning, then nodded respectfully to Zhao Zhenhao and Wang Hao, and afterwards babbled a stream of words.
Translator said, “Chef Castro Novo says, he has specially prepared a bluefin tuna feast for tonight’s dinner, hoping you all will enjoy.”
It hardly mattered, Bai Yaning was obviously curious as she really hadn’t eaten bluefin tuna before.
Zhao Zhenhao, however, was smug—bluefin tuna wasn’t easily accessible; this single fish had cost him nearly six hundred thousand, and could be described as top-notch anywhere.
Just as Zhao Zhenhao was about to show off the information he had memorized to Bai Yaning, he heard Wang Hao exclaim on the side, “Bluefin tuna! My God, to actually encounter this delicacy, haha, what a treat!”
Bloody hell, does he even know about this?!
Instantly, Zhao Zhenhao’s heart started thumping wildly, and he cautiously asked, “Mr. Wang Hao, you wouldn’t happen to know about this too?”
“This…” Damn, I accidentally blabbed, bro really doesn’t want to steal your thunder!
Wang Hao’s head shook like a rattle-drum, “I don’t know, absolutely not! I know nothing, I just heard the name…”
Damn, just by looking at his expression, you know he knows everything!
Zhao Zhenhao was scared out of his wits, “Mr. Wang Hao, you are too modest. I think your knowledge is very extensive; you must know something about this dish. I’d really like you to teach me a bit.” He felt so conflicted! He wanted to show off his knowledge in front of Miss Yaning, but he was also curious if Wang Hao really knew or was just pretending…
“I don’t know, I don’t know; I know nothing!” Wang Hao shook his head frantically, “Mr. Zhao, you are the learned one. Please, you explain. I’ll just listen, just listen! Hehe, hehe!”
Zhao Zhenhao: “…”
Bai Yaning: “…”
Now was definitely the time to make him talk, because this guy always knocked it out of park. Bai Yaning even threw in a bit of coquetry, “Young Master Zhao asked you, just say something.”
Oh that soft voice, so delicate… Yet Wang Hao still shook his head, “Can’t say any more, can’t say. I’m a low-key person, and today is Young Master Zhao’s treat. It wouldn’t be nice for me to keep talking…”
“Oh come on, Mr. Wang, don’t be shy,” Zhao Zhenhao said with a slight display of modesty and a laugh, “Mr. Wang, don’t be a stranger. If you know, then just tell us. Miss Yaning and I are all ears, okay?”
“This…” Wang Hao looked at Bai Yaning and then at Zhao Zhenhao, “Do I really have to say it?”
Both nodded, “You must say it!”
Wang Hao: “Well then, I’ll really say it!”
Both continued nodding, “Well, don’t wait, say it!”
“Well, okay, I’ll give a brief introduction,” Wang Hao started with a smile, beginning another round of chatter, “Bluefin tuna lives in the deep sea, and only weighs over 220 pounds when mature. After being caught, it’s not at its tastiest when fresh but needs to be preserved in ice for five days during transport to release its amino acids, reaching the optimal flavor. The fattiest and tastiest part of the bluefin tuna is from the belly…”
Zhao Zhenhao: “…”
Holy shit, this guy actually knows! I even had to study for so long before coming here! And all my knowledge came from the Italian chef personally!
Bai Yaning was surprised, her mouth agape—Wang Hao was truly amazing, seeming to know everything!
“Um…” Wang Hao cautiously asked, “Didn’t I scare you all?”
Zhao Zhenhao felt so frustrated, all that preparation for nothing…
However, he couldn’t show it on his face; must maintain composure! Zhao Zhenhao said, “Mr. Wang, you are indeed knowledgeable. Then please, tell us, how should we eat this bluefin tuna to best enjoy it?”
We can’t give this guy any more chances to show off, or I’ll completely turn into a side character!
You may know all the data about this bluefin tuna, but how to eat it, you surely can’t know that?
But the problem is Wang Hao did know!
“How to eat it?” Wang Hao said, “Well, the first dish should be the big belly hand roll, yes, and with this you should also prepare a white wine… do they have white wine here?”
Zhao Zhenhao: “…”
Holy crap, this guy even knows this! Zhao Zhenhao was almost scared to death! The first dish was exactly as Chef Castro Novo had described. I had to memorize it for a good while when I listened, and where the hell does this guy get his information?
At that moment, the translator had already translated for Chef Castro Novo, who immediately gave Wang Hao a thumbs up and rattled off a bunch, with the translator saying, “Chef Castro Novo says, ‘You really are knowledgeable. That’s exactly how to eat the first dish, and for this dish, Chef Castro Novo has specially prepared a bottle of white wine.'”
Zhao Zhenhao almost wanted to crawl under the table—If only I knew I’d run into this, why did I even bother preparing?! I should just have let Wang Hao talk and listened on the side! Flip the table, damn it!
At this point, what composure left? Decisively getting ready to eat! Can’t I just accept my bad luck?!
