Deputy Commissioner Li really wanted to slap himself. He was the one who said that he wanted something light. Now, it was really light! Not to mention delicacies, even the shredded meat was only matched with a wild vegetable. The rest were so plain that it made one's mouth bleed.
"Commissioner Li, what do you think of my arrangement? I guarantee that you'll like it." Xu Yun was secretly pleased. "It's said that good food goes with good wine. This dish is wild, but this wine is absolutely pure! Since we're in Qingdao and not far from Gaomi, I'll treat you with the most famous Thirty Mile Red of Gaomi! "
Sorghum wine? Deputy Commissioner Li was stunned. The alcohol content must be high. However, Xu Yun's wine was really beyond his expectations. He thought that since Xu Yun was the boss of a big company, he would at least open a bottle of wine worth more than ten thousand yuan. Even if it wasn't a Maotai 80 or 50 year old, he should have at least made it a National Cellar 1573 Windsor or a Shuijingfang 1916 Classic.
In the end, he actually wanted to fool him with Sorghum wine. Deputy Commissioner Li had never drunk Thirty Mile Red before. Of course, Xu Yun also used Teacher Mo Yan as a reference to create the name of the wine. The Thirty Mile Red that Xu Yun mentioned was not an expensive wine, but it was really good. It was really a real estate sorghum wine. However, this wine had the highest alcohol content, more than 60%. It was definitely intoxicating.
"Mr. Xu, no matter what, my uncle is a deputy commissioner of the headquarters. You're treating him with Sorghum wine?" Peter Zhao was a little unhappy. "I think it's better to have something red. Something like Rafferato. That's classy."
Xu Yun laughed. He admitted that there were indeed many classy people who knew how to taste and enjoy red wine. However, at the Hua Xia dinner table, a considerable number of people drank red wine to improve their class and make themselves look more classy, especially some nouveau riche and big leaders. They drank whole bottles of red wine as if they were beer. It was as if they were afraid that if they drank less, they would lose tens of thousands of yuan.
People like Peter Zhao were the kind of people Xu Yun was talking about. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation. "Producer Zhao, people who drink red wine nowadays are easily scolded for being pretentious. Our Hua Xia people have been drinking white wine since ancient times. This is called style. Oriental style. "
Peter Zhao didn't have much eloquence, and he knew that he couldn't win against Xu Yun. He simply shut his mouth and didn't say anything. Anyway, no matter what, Xu Yun was determined to do according to his own arrangements. He would only be asking for trouble if he said more.
"A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. No matter what wine it is, the most important thing is that we can sit together and drink happily." Deputy Commissioner Li was more open-minded. "Also, I believe that the wine that CEO Xu brought out will definitely be the most authentic Thirty Mile Red Sorghum!"
Xu Yun said with a serious face, "Of course!"
"Alright, alright, let's drink till we're drunk today." Deputy Commissioner Li smiled and thought to himself, After three rounds of drinking, I will definitely make you open your mouth and arrange for the program!
Since CEO Xu had personally arranged it, the dishes would definitely be served quite quickly. Of course, this had a lot to do with the wild vegetables that he had ordered. They were either steamed or stir-fried, and some were cold mixed. They didn't even need to be cooked over fire. How could it not be fast?
Other than the few wild vegetables that Xu Yun had personally ordered, Little Dongbei had made almost all the wild vegetables that could be cooked. If there weren't any wild vegetables, he made up the number with ordinary vegetables. There were a total of 26 dishes! All of them were vegetables! There were only one or two dishes with shredded meat and one or two dishes with shrimp.
At a glance, the entire table was covered in green. Deputy Commissioner Li wondered if he had turned into a rabbit.
Xu Yun wouldn't be so extravagant to entertain this wolf that couldn't be fed. Today's wild vegetables were so complete because he had asked the kitchen to prepare them in advance. At first, Little Dongbei didn't know what it meant, but now he completely understood.
Oh right, I forgot to tell everyone that after the opening of the Movie Hotel, the kitchen needed a chef to take charge of things. There was no suitable candidate at the moment, so Ruan Qingshuang transferred Little Dongbei to Qingdao. Little Dongbei was also happy to do so. In his words, he was a revolutionary brick that would move wherever it was needed.
Peter Zhao looked at the vegetables in front of him and was in no mood to drink. He didn't even have the energy to pick up his chopsticks.
However, Xu Yun was still very enthusiastic about the invitation, as if the table of wild vegetables was really sumptuous.
To be honest, if an ordinary person wanted to eat so many wild vegetables in one meal, it wouldn't be easy. Xu Yun was doing his best to entertain them like this. Deputy Commissioner Li definitely couldn't find fault with Xu Yun at all.
"Deputy Director Li, the Hua Xia people all say that if you have a deep relationship, you should suck it up. If you have a shallow relationship, you should lick it up. If you have a strong relationship, you should drink it up. If you have a weak relationship, you should drink it up until you bleed." Xu Yun: "We're not vulgar people, and our relationship can't be expressed with wine. I'll drink first as a toast."
Deputy Commissioner Li watched Xu Yun drink a glass of wine, and after hearing what he said, he came to the conclusion that Xu Yun was not a drinker, which was why he said that those who believed in drinking were vulgar people. He drank the first glass of wine in order to intimidate Deputy Commissioner Li and show that he could drink well, so that Deputy Commissioner Li would not dare to act rashly and challenge him to a drinking contest.
What a good 'advance as a retreat, attack as a defense!' Deputy Commissioner Li smiled inwardly. "Since that's the case, then I'll deal with it so that you can't choose to retreat!"
"Old bones like us all believe that wine is food. The more we drink, the younger we get. So, since Boss Xu has drunk, I'll drink this glass of wine too!" Deputy Commissioner Li was indeed Deputy Commissioner Li. He was definitely a seasoned drinker. He was also the kind of person who would wash his mouth with one or two taels of wine.
After drinking this glass of sorghum wine, Deputy Commissioner Li suddenly felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his stomach. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, What a high alcohol content!
Drinkers knew very well that those who couldn't drink could only drink a little under 36 degrees, and would be knocked out if they drank a little over 48 degrees. To be able to drink a glass of white wine with more than 60 degrees was definitely a drunkard. No one would believe that they couldn't drink.
Deputy Commissioner Li was a little regretful that he had misjudged. He had thought that Xu Yun was a person who couldn't drink, but he hadn't expected the alcohol content to be so high.
"Boss Xu, you're a good drinker." Deputy Commissioner Li knew that he should change his tactics. It seemed that Xu Yun wanted to get him drunk and let this matter pass in a muddle. No, absolutely not. Deputy Commissioner Li realized that he had to keep his mind clear and vigilant. Otherwise, he would fall into Xu Yun's trap if he wasn't careful.
"Commissioner Li is the one who won't get drunk after a thousand glasses!" As Xu Yun spoke, he filled Deputy Commissioner Li's glass again. Peter Zhao didn't raise his glass at all. Anyway, Deputy Commissioner Li didn't intend to let him drink, so he didn't say anything. But Xu Yun wouldn't let him off. "Producer Zhao, they say that like father, like son. Commissioner Li is your uncle. He's so old but strong. Are you trying to embarrass him? Let's drink the first glass. A man can't say no! "
Peter Zhao couldn't stand Xu Yun's provocation and immediately raised his glass. "Let's drink. It's just a glass of wine!"
Gulping it down, Peter Zhao almost choked and spat it out. Usually, in order to improve his status, he drank red wine. He could only get used to the taste of red wine. This white wine was so strong that he really couldn't accept it! But for the sake of face, he forced himself to swallow it!
However, after this glass of wine, Peter Zhao was a little delirious. His alcohol tolerance wasn't as good as his uncle's. He couldn't drink two or three or four taels without drinking. This two-and-a-half-tael goblet made his whole body heat up and his eyes stare straight. He even forgot the purpose of coming here today.
