Chapter 48 Is it going to be so exciting for the first time?
The closer they got, the drier Chen Zan felt in her mouth. Zhou Jingyu squinted at her reaction and felt that this girl was not only brave but also very interesting.
But when they were going upstairs, Zhou Jingyu paused. When she was about to cast a doubtful look at him, he took her around a corner and headed towards the basement.
There was no light on the stairs in the basement, and Zhou Jingyu searched for a while before finding the switch.
When the lights came on, Chen Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of worry clouded his pretty face. "Mr. Zhou, is this going to be this exciting for the first time?"
She didn't mean to spoil the fun, but her knowledge in this area was really shallow, and she was mainly worried that Mr. Zhou wouldn't have a good time.
Zhou Jingyu always knew what was in her mind. He had been observing the reaction on her face since he entered the room, and he did not disappoint her.
In the end, I couldn't help laughing out loud, "Chen Zhan, Chen Zhan, you are so cute."
Chen Zhan was completely bewildered, and reflexively replied, "Thank you."
Thank you for the compliment.
Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and pinched the baby fat on her face. "What are you thinking about? Don't you want to drink? Jing Mansion has a wine cellar."
Chen Zhan's face froze, and after a long while he managed to utter two words, "Drink?"
Zhou Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "What else are you thinking about?"
Chen Zan's face was about to turn red, in fact she wanted to curse someone.
Zhou Jingyu sighed softly, "Ms. Chen, it's not that easy to sleep with me."
Chen Zhan: “!!”
An awkward "Oh."
You are aloof.
She became a big sei fan?
Seeing that the little girl would definitely get angry if he continued to tease her, Zhou Jingyu stopped his improper behavior and took people to the underground wine cellar.
Jingfu’s wine cellar not only houses a variety of vintage wines, but also has a fireplace and sofa.
There was no heating in the wine cellar, and it wasn't as warm as upstairs. Zhou Jingyu noticed her small movements and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?"
Chen Zhan nodded, "A little bit. Shall we get some wine upstairs?"
Zhou Jingyu didn't say anything when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and walked to the fireplace. He personally added the firewood next to him and threw it into the stove.
Chen Zan was about to go forward to help, but was stopped when he was two steps away.
"Don't come over here, be careful not to get your clothes dirty."
Chen Zan's clothes today look good, but they are cheap, and are definitely not as good as the handmade custom clothes Zhou Jingyu is wearing.
He was a young master, but when doing this kind of thing, he did not act like a young master. On the contrary, he was quite skilled in lighting the fireplace with pine needles and sawdust.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but ask, did he often light the fireplace before?
Zhou Jingyu mentioned that he stayed in France for four years and the house he lived in had a French fireplace. In winter, he sometimes didn't like to turn on the heating, so he would burn the fireplace, especially on snowy days. He liked to sit in front of the fireplace, have a couple of glasses of red wine with friends, and then chat or play video games with friends.
Although he lives in Paris, he often goes to Tours with his friends because there are club football matches there every week and the white wine from the Loire Valley is also good.
Chen Zan found it very interesting to hear him talk about his study abroad experience, because Zhou Jingyu looked like the kind of person who would be meticulous in writing a paper. Unexpectedly, he was just like most students of that age.
The fire gradually burned up. Zhou Jingyu turned off the stove and turned around to see Chen Zan's eyes sparkling. Her eyes were very clear, and he could even see his own reflection in them, as if he was the only one in her eyes.
Zhou Jingyu picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands. He couldn't help but curl his lips and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Zhan then expressed his thoughts. Zhou Jingyu pretended to be thoughtful and thought for a moment, "There are times when I need to rush to finish a paper, but I can't invite friends. Otherwise, I won't be able to finish the last word."
Chen Zan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it was so true.
Zhou Jingyu spread his hands and said bluntly, "Chen Zan, I'm just a few years older than you. I'm not some old antique who's about to be buried."
Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous.
As for Chen Zan, he really hoped that at her age she wouldn't have to pretend to be so mature in front of him, and could be a little more childish, just like now.
Later, Zhou Jingyu took her to pick wine. She was a novice in this area, but just by looking at the year and name of the wine, she knew that this kind of wine would become less and less as time went by.
Zhou Jingyu insisted that she choose, saying that it would be fun to drink the wine she chose herself. She looked around and chose a bottle of low-alcohol vintage champagne that she couldn't go wrong with.
This is a fine vintage Blanc de Noirs champagne.
Zhou Jingyu picked up the wine and took a look at it, then curled his lips and said lazily to Chen Zhan, "Krug Ambani Black Diamond Blanc de Noir, 100% Pinot Noir. You have good taste."
Chen Zan showed a puzzled look.
Zhou Jingyu then continued, "It comes from a 0.6-hectare walled vineyard, producing less than 1,000 bottles annually. Last month, the 1996 vintage sold at auction for 240,000 yuan."
It would have been fine if I hadn't introduced it. After I finished introducing Chen Zhan, I wanted to put it back. The bottle in my hand is from 1986, and the auction price must be doubled.
Zhou Jingyu rubbed her hair and said, "You've already taken it, what are you afraid of? How can I make you unable to drink?"
Chen Zan held it carefully in his arms. Just one sip would probably cost several thousand.
Later, Zhou Jingyu picked a few more bottles, especially a bottle of Burgundy Pinot Noir, which was the Le Roy Musigny produced in the year Chen Zan was born.
Well, Chen Zan didn’t feel sorry for the bottle of champagne in his arms at all.
Zhou Jingyu placed all the selected wines on the coffee table in front of the fireplace, and then picked out the high-heeled glasses from the cupboard.
After opening the wine, Zhou Jingyu didn't let her drink too much. He only gave her one or two sips of each bottle. It wasn't because he felt sorry for the wine. No matter how high a price this vintage wine could fetch at the auction, it would be worthless once it was opened.
I'm just afraid that if she drinks too much, her stomach will feel uncomfortable.
The first bottle of champagne that Chen Zan had chosen was opened and poured into a slender goblet. The bubbles were dense, like a string of miniature pearls.
Zhou Jingyu looked at her and said, "Don't swallow it in a hurry. Feel the bubbles jumping on the tip of your tongue. After you feel the light tingling sensation, swallow it slowly."
Chen Zan tasted it slowly as he said, and then suddenly looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Jingyu's smile was gentle and affectionate: "What does it feel like?"
Chen Zan thought carefully and gave a precise answer: "It tastes like a ripe pear, with a hint of honey and apricot sweetness, and a touch of sourness throughout. It's refreshing and not greasy, and the finish is clean like a sea breeze."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingyu couldn't help but tease, "As expected of a language and literature student at a foreign language school."
Reciting words is the same as writing an essay.
Then he slowly placed the awakened Burgundy Pinot Noir in front of her and said, "Try this."
If the champagne just now was the opening, then the ruby-red wine was more like an abstract painting with rich colors and layered brushstrokes, soft on the outside and intricate on the inside.
Chen Zan picked up the Burgundy glass and was about to drink it when he was pinched by his wrist. "Tasting red wine is different from champagne. Smell it first."
She sniffed and said, "So many smells. Strawberries? Dried rose petals? Raspberries? What's that damp earthy smell? I can't place it."
The rest is indescribable.
Zhou Jingyu took her hand and sniffed it gently before saying, "It's red berry raspberries, wet leaves, and truffles."
Chen Zhan was surprised at how sensitive his nose was. Zhou Jingyu saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Are you saying I have a dog's nose?"
She smacked her lips, as if savoring the taste, and said obediently, "No."
Zhou Jingyu seemed to not believe it, but he didn't expose her.
