    ?

    Guo Jinlan immediately blushed when she saw him approaching, and leaned back slightly to distance herself: "Yeah, give me an autograph later."

    Li Jiahui felt a little lost in his heart, sat up straight again, and said to Alan: "Look at it, follow me."

    He took the cutlery that had been set aside on the table before, with a knife and spoon on his right hand and a fork on his left.  Guo Jinlan quickly imitated the example. Although the movements were not as good-looking and natural as his, at least the tableware was placed correctly.

    Jiahui nodded at her with a smile, picked up the napkin again, folded the napkin 13 inwards, and let the opening of 23 face outwards to lay flat on the legs, covering the legs above the knees.  As he did this, he moved his chair back a little so that Alan could see.  Seeing that the girl on the opposite side had done it accurately, he gently pulled the chair back.

    The waiter handed over two glasses of wine, and Li Jiahui raised the glasses: "Alan, nice to meet you!"

    Guo Jinlan also raised her glass to signal him, and they both took a sip: "Brother Jiahui, what is this wine called? It's delicious, sweet."

    "This is champagne. French meals usually start with a glass of aperitif. There are several types of aperitifs, such as champagne, cocktails, whiskey, martini, ouzo, and Porto sweet wine, Kiel  Wine and so on."

    "Wow, so much attention" Guo Jinlan has always been eager to learn, and she will definitely ask more about the unknown world: "Why do they have pre-dinner wine?"

    "It's mainly to stimulate the appetite, also called an aperitif. French dishes are served slowly, ordering a glass of pre-dinner wine while drinking and chatting will make the waiting time more enjoyable."

    "Aperitif, do we have to drink it before the actual food is served?"

    "Smart, it is. Waiting for dinner to drink a different wine."

    "So particular! What kind of wine do you usually drink for dinner?"

    "There is a saying in French cuisine that red wine goes with red meat, and white wine goes with white meat. Look at the dishes we order to decide whether to drink red wine or white wine."

    Guo Jinlan found that she liked these exquisite details: "Tell me again."

    "Well. There are many types of wine. Generally, when we order, we will look at the type, origin, year and classification of the wine. We must first decide the type of wine we want to drink, and then choose the corresponding production area and wine brand." Li Jiahui looked at  Looking at the big flickering eyes of the little girl in front of her, she explained very patiently.

    "Does the wine have many origins and brands?" Guo Jinlan first asked what she could understand.

    "Bordeaux is one of the most famous wine-producing regions in France. It flows through the Quironte River in Bordeaux, dividing Bordeaux into the left bank and the right bank. The four most famous red wine-producing regions in Bordeaux, two are located on the left bank: Medoc (medoc)  and Graves, and two other famous production areas: Pomerol and Saint-Emilion are located on the right bank." Li Jiahui explained as slowly as possible.

    "Medoc is divided into Upper Medoc (that is, the higher-lying area in the south of Medoc) and Lower Medoc. Because the lower Medoc has a bad word, the wines produced in this area are generally labeled  For the M¨¦doc, the more famous one is the Haut-M¨¦doc. For example, 61 of the 1855 Classes Classes, 60 are located in the Haut-Medoc, and there is another first-growth named Haubion, which is not located in the Lower M¨¦doc.  Medoc, but Pessac-Leogren located in Graves, is a special case. Below the upper Medoc, there are many small village-level appellations, the famous ones are: Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien  , St. Stephen, etc. The Graves region just mentioned is divided into a sub-region called Pessac-Leognan (pessac-leognan), and almost all the famous wines of Graves come from this sub-region  The five famous chateaus in France we usually refer to refer to the five first-class chateaus in the 1855 listed chateaux in the M¨¦doc region: Lafite, Latour, and Mouton are all located in Pauillac in the M¨¦doc.  Chateau Margaux is located in the village of Margaux in the M¨¦doc, and Haubion is located in the Pessac-Leoliang appellation of Graves. Among the "big five", except for Mouton, which was upgraded from second grade to first grade in 1973  , the other four are old first-class wines since the promulgation of the classification system in 1855. In addition, in Bordeaux, there is also a famous Sauterne production area, and the noble rot sweet white wine produced here is the world's top."

    Even if Li Jiahui spoke at the slowest speed, Guo Jinlan was still confused: "Brother Li, are there any of these books?"

    "You may not have them in your school." Li Jiahui smiled, raised his glass and motioned for her to take another sip: "I'll show you tomorrow."

    "Enen, good!" Guo Jinlan, who had been opened another door by Li Jiahui, was very excited at this time, maybe it was the effect of alcohol, and said what was in her heart: "Brother Li, thank you for bringing me through so many experiences."  A high-end place. It's a pleasure to be with you."

      "Just as long as you are happy." The corners of Li Jiahui's mouth could not stop turning up.

    The waiters served the dishes one after another.

    First a piece of bread came up.

    Li Jiahui gently demonstrated while explaining; "If you want to spread butter on the bread, you must break the bread into small pieces that can be eaten in one bite, and spread butter on the small pieces before eating. Do not spread the whole bread.  Butter it."

    Then came the second course: thick soup.

    "French soups include thick broth, light vegetable soup, and delicious seafood soup. I ordered seafood soup today. There are more people at this point."

    As Li Jiahui said, he picked up the spoon and demonstrated a small spoonful.  Alan made it out of curiosity, and was immediately fascinated by the deliciousness after drinking it: "Brother Jiahui, this tastes so delicious!"

    "It's fine if you like it. If this soup is too hot, you can't blow it with your mouth. You have to wait for it to cool down before drinking it. The restaurant here is relatively large, and it's winter. When the waiter brings it, the temperature has cooled down a lot. Otherwise, we still have to eat it."  We have to wait a while." Li Jiahui explained the common sense bit by bit.

    "The next thing to be served is the main course of French cuisine. It is called a hot appetizer. The main course is mainly meat and seafood. Everyone can order one to three main courses according to the size of their appetite. I ordered five in total.  The main course includes meat and seafood. Do not eat too fast. Swallowing food is not only harmful to your health, but also a sign of disrespect. If you are eating with others, you should pay attention to eating at the same speed as everyone else.¡± Li Jiahui et al.  The waiter walked away after serving the dishes, and then continued to explain slowly.

    "It's really exquisite! Being French is tiring." Guo Jinlan sighed while tasting.

    Li Jiahui looked at Alan and smiled dotingly. The girl in front of her had a flushed face after drinking some wine, and her movements were even more shy. She was so cute. I really hoped to stay in this moment forever.

    The waiter finally served two cakes.

    "This is tiramisu, and this is chocolate mousse. Try both. The French like to have dessert after a meal." Li Jiahui pushed both desserts to the front of Alan, and he didn't like sweet and greasy ones either.  Things, it feels like this is a girl's patent.  And these two desserts tonight must be the patent of the little girl in front of me.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
