Chapter 1162: Chapter 1159: Why Are the Long-legged Campus Belle’s Legs So Long?
"Earlier when Ningbing was practicing driving, she accidentally hit someone, but that person ran onto the road themselves, and the patrolman was chasing a thief, so Ningbing wasn’t at fault at all!" Wang Yanran said.
Bai Ningbing added from the side, "Yes, I was driving carefully, but suddenly someone rushed out. I couldn’t hit the brakes in time, so I hit them!"
Luofeng was stunned.
Is there really such a thing?
Should we say Bai Ningbing was lucky or unlucky?
Looks like the plan of buying a Rolls-Royce for Bai Ningbing is going to be postponed again.
The topic shifted from Bai Ningbing learning to drive to the selection of red wine.
In Daxia, the most famous wines surely come from France, especially those from the Bordeaux region, which have a certain magical allure.
As for the renowned Lafite, it has become synonymous with red wine and is also a symbol of high-end wine.
In terms of wine imports, French wines rank first in Daxia, with imports exceeding 120 million liters last year, totaling 4 billion Daxia Coins.
"I’m planning to pick a 2015 vintage from Margaux Winery. What do you guys think?" Shen Na looked at Luofeng.
"A first growth chateau from France in 1855, and it’s the best vintage of 2015, I think it’s great!" Luofeng said.
Shen Na’s eyes lit up, and she said, "You also know about wine?"
"Not really, it’s just something I forcibly learned as knowledge. Personally, I have no particular preference for either white wine or red wine!" Luofeng indeed needs to work on wine recently.
Shen Na looked at Luofeng helplessly; he’s just too honest.
Bai Ningbing smiled happily from the side, "Are you teasing Nana again?"
"When did I do that!" Luofeng said innocently.
Wang Yanran chimed in, "Master Luo, is there anything special about this 2015 Margaux Winery wine?"
"There’s nothing particularly special. The quality of a wine isn’t really linked to its vintage. It’s more about some years having good sunlight and rainfall, leading to slightly better grapes!"
Many people think older wine is better probably because of the 1982 Lafite, which was just a good vintage.
But what about Margaux red wine? Take 1999 as an example; it only costs 6,000 Daxia Coins, which is far less than the 2015 ’new wine’!"
Luofeng remarked, "These things aren’t that mysterious. For example, with beef, poor-quality beef indeed tastes bad, but the difference isn’t huge between slightly more expensive beef and those with outrageous prices. It’s just something the rich made up!"
"So it’s all just a scam?" Wang Yanran said.
"Not exactly a scam. As I said, the differences aren’t that big, but they do exist. The cost-effectiveness is there for the wealthy, but for regular people with no money, there’s no need!" Luofeng said.
Wang Yanran laughed, "So if I were to choose, I’d just go for the slightly better-quality beef. No need to pursue those world-famous brands?"
Luofeng smiled but didn’t reply. In reality, his statement wasn’t wrong. For any product, a bit better quality will do; there’s no need to chase perfection.
Because chasing perfection can be summed up in four words: expensive!
The rich can, but regular folks needn’t.
"So how much is this 2015 Margaux Winery wine you’re talking about?" Wang Yanran asked.
"It should be 29,800 Daxia Coins!" Luofeng said, then lowered his voice, "This price is somewhat of a rip-off. If you get it directly from Margaux Winery, it shouldn’t exceed 20,000!"
Wang Yanran made complaints, "No wonder these are cunning merchants!"
Shen Na awkwardly said from the side, "This store is run by our family!"
The three of them looked at Shen Na speechlessly.
Goodness, inviting guests to eat at their own place?
Could Shen Na’s nickname be ’Desperate Sirocco’? Shi Xiu?
Such an awesome move!
Luofeng expressed he had to give a thumbs up; he was really impressed.
Knock, knock, knock.
From outside the private room’s door came knocking sounds, and the waiter brought in the barbecue Luofeng had selected, which included A5-grade fillet, as well as sirloin and blade of the same grade.
Luofeng started inspecting the fillet; it was evenly marbled with fat and looked very good.
Shen Na asked from the side, "What do you think of this beef?"
Luofeng said, "No wonder you boasted before, this beef is indeed great!"
At this price level, Snow Charcoal barbecue restaurants naturally have specialized barbecue chefs serving, and this time, all the barbecue was cooked to medium doneness. In such cases, there’s no blood, but it retains a tender and juicy texture.
Over an hour later, Bai Ningbing, this little simpleton, declared she was stuffed and cast a knowing glance at Luofeng, who slightly curled his lips. He understood Shen Na’s implication.
"Student Luo, what do you think of this Wagyu Barbecue Restaurant?" Shen Na said.
"Do you want the truth?" Luofeng asked back.
"Of course!" Shen Na nodded.
"Your family truly has the potential of cunning merchants. It’s quite pricey, but the taste is still good!" Luofeng said.
Wang Yanran curiously asked, "How much did this meal cost us?"
Shen Na instructed the waiter to print the bill and handed it to Wang Yanran to see.
The total price of the three types of barbecue came to 5,600 Daxia Coins, with the precision of this barbecue restaurant being to the gram.
Adding the 29,000 for the wine and the service fee, it’s about 39,000.
After seeing the bill, Wang Yanran speechlessly handed it to Bai Ningbing; Luofeng also took a look and couldn’t help but tease, "Your family is really harsh, even charging the wine fee in the service fee!"
In most dining establishments, when calculating the service fee, the wine fee isn’t calculated extra because the profit on wine is already quite high.
But this place? They actually included the 29,000 wine fee and calculated a 10% fee. What kind of service does this bottle of wine need from you? Just opening it requires 2,980 Daxia Coins?
Absolutely outrageous!
"I think Wang Yanran is right, your family is truly cunning merchants!" Luofeng teased.
Wang Yanran agreed but didn’t say anything. It’s just a barbecue meal. Even not counting the wine, if you include the service fee, it’s still over 6,000.
This price is overboard.
Bai Ningbing gently patted her stomach; she indeed ate a bit too much earlier.
Around nine o’clock in the evening, Luofeng casually said, "Shall I take you back first?"
Shen Na shook her head and said, "No need, Yanran and I will take a taxi back. You should call a driver yourself!"
"Alright!" Luofeng was just being polite; he certainly didn’t want to drive them.
Now Luofeng just needed to research why the Long-legged Campus Belle’s legs were so long.
Everything else can wait.
