At 7:30 in the evening, Youran Farm Private Restaurant ushered in the busiest time of the day.
The jingling construction equipment during the day has ceased, and there are only a few workers on the third floor doing finishing work. This also provides a good business environment for private restaurants.
In the VIP private room on the second floor of the south store, a VIP-level banquet for twelve people was opened today. The waiter pushed the food delivery cart and delivered the exquisite dishes to the table like a flowing stream.
The host is a boss named Su, who is in his forties and is one of the earliest regular customers of the private restaurant. I have enjoyed Class A banquets in the past. After hearing about the introduction of the VIP class, I had long wanted to book a table, but
Since the number of such banquets is small and irregular, it has been postponed until today.
The dazzling array of dishes on the table exuded an alluring mixed aroma, which made the guests salivate. Especially the signature dishes of steamed anchovies and braised chicken with matsutake mushrooms are even more mouth-watering.
Boss Su made some arrangements and asked everyone to do whatever they wanted without being polite.
The assistant Xiao Liu who accompanied him took out three bottles of Luzhou Laojiao from his bag and put them on the table. The exquisite packaging showed the identity of the wine, Guojiao 1573 Collection Edition with 53 degrees.
At this time, foreman Xiao Zhou, who was wearing a crisp brown work clothes, entered the room and walked to Boss Su's side.
"Hello, Boss Su." Xiao Zhou greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, it's the foreman Xiao Zhou. I haven't seen you for a few days. She is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older." Boss Su responded cheerfully.
"Thank you. Are you satisfied with the environment here, Boss Su?" Foreman Xiao Zhou asked.
"Of course I'm satisfied. If I say I'm not satisfied, I won't be allowed in next time. It's really not easy to book a VIP banquet like yours." Boss Su teased.
His words caused laughter at the wine table.
"Boss Su is really good at joking. By the way, our restaurant has recently launched pure grain self-brewed wine with a temperature of about 50 degrees. Do you want to try it?" Foreman Xiao Zhou started to get down to business.
"Oh, you make your own wine in your store? It's local wine, right? It's fresh." According to experience, the things in private restaurants are all high-end products, and Boss Su immediately became interested.
"It can be considered a local wine, but it is not a new wine. It was brewed by our boss's elders using a secret method. It has been stored in the cellar for twenty years. It was recently released from the cellar and named 'Youran Special Wine'." Foreman Xiao Zhou continued to introduce.
Because the private restaurant has only a history of more than a year, it cannot be said that it is made by the chefs in the store.
"Twenty years old, it's really not easy." A man in his fifties with a sharp chin said next to Boss Su.
"I heard that local wine does not contain flavors or plasticizers, which is very popular now." Another man with a square face and thick eyebrows also nodded in agreement.
Foreman Xiao Zhou promptly explained that this kind of wine is only stored in small private wine cellars. It is rare in quantity and relatively expensive, at 1,500 yuan per bottle.
Boss Su waved his hand without any concern and asked her to get a bottle to try first.
Foreman Xiao Zhou said "wait a moment" and turned around to go out.
"Boss Su, what about this?" Assistant Xiao Liu pointed to Luzhou Laojiao on the table and asked the boss for his opinion.
"Put it away first." Boss Su said, waving his hand.
Assistant Liu Yiyan put the three bottles of wine back into his bag.
"Hey, Lao Su, the price of 1,500 yuan, how can homemade local wine be so expensive? Just let her have it without even looking at it." The man with a square face and thick eyebrows was obviously confused.
"Haha. Dezi, you haven't been here enough and you don't understand the rules inside. This is a VIP private room. The private restaurant never served drinks before. The things you can get now are definitely not ordinary goods. Don't believe it for a moment.
You'll know." Boss Su said calmly.
The man named Dezi frowned, but couldn't say anything else.
Foreman Xiao Zhou returned quickly, holding a tray in his hand, with a long-necked celadon bottle on it, which was quite exquisitely made.
The porcelain bottle was served to the table. After Boss Su agreed, Xiao Zhou immediately unsealed the cork.
For a moment, the fragrant aroma of wine overflowed. It quickly overcame the aroma of vegetables on the table and reached everyone present.
"Hiss, it smells so good, it's got some tricks up its sleeve." Someone twitched their nose and exclaimed.
"Well, it's indeed good." The man with a pointed chin next to Boss Su also nodded in agreement.
Foreman Xiao Zhou stretched out his slender hand, poured a glass for Boss Su and several people nearby, said "Please take it easy," then turned and left.
Dezi picked up the wine cup and was about to drink it, but was stopped by the man with the pointed chin.
"This wine is extraordinary. You have to taste it carefully. If you drink like that, you will ruin things." The latter advised.
"Dezi, listen to Lao Guan. He is an expert at this. You should learn from it." Boss Su reminded Dezi.
So, everyone at the table stopped using their chopsticks and listened to Lao Guan's explanation of how to taste wine.
After smelling the aroma and observing the scenery, Lao Guan slowly picked up the small wine cup in front of him.
"There are three ways to taste good wine, one is sipping, the second is sipping, and the third is drinking. The three ways must be precise, calm and integrated, focused, relaxed and happy, so that the taste and smell can be fully mobilized to capture and appreciate the wine.
Feel the fragrance of every wine molecule, form a perfect wine tasting process, and finally obtain the highest aesthetic enjoyment." He explained in detail.
Having said this, Lao Zhou brought the wine glass to his lips, took a small sip gently and slowly, and sipped it carefully in his mouth.
Then he smacked his lips lightly, swallowed the wine slowly, and naturally made a slight clicking sound in his mouth.
The final step is to breathe out quickly on the basis of smacking, letting the aroma of wine come out from the nose.
"Sure enough, it is a well-aged wine, mellow and sweet, delicate and elegant, soft and long-lasting. Good." Lao Zhou perked up and boasted.
Boss Su and others also followed his method and tasted the wine one by one.
"It's really mellow, sweet and refreshing, and it's old enough. It's a good wine." Boss Su's eyes lit up and he drank all the liquid in the cup.
There were sounds of smacking on the wine table one after another. These people were well-informed and naturally quickly realized the profound meaning of Laoguan.
"The fragrance lingering in an empty cup is rare."
“It’s really more powerful than the ones from big wineries.”
"I can't say enough about it, it just tastes good."
Diners praised it one after another.
Boss Su hurriedly told everyone not to just enjoy the wine tasting, but to eat the food while it was hot. Wine and food are a match made in heaven, and they complement each other.
After confirming the wine, there were a total of twelve people at the table. Of course, one bottle was not enough, so he asked the waiter to serve another bottle, which made everyone more happy.
At the end of the banquet, Boss Su told the waiter Xiao Zhou who was standing at the entrance that the private restaurant could make up for its original shortcomings by having such a unique wine, especially the VIP banquet, which was perfect.
Foreman Xiao Zhou smiled and thanked him for the compliment, welcomed him to come again, and then sent the guest off.
As a result, "Youran Special Brew" officially joined the product lineup of private restaurants.
