"Slow down, there's no need to rush." Zhou Qianlin chuckled.
"Shut up!
Or I'll beat you up. "
The Mechanist's deep voice boomed through the room. A dark fist appeared in front of the Accountant's face.
"Only a coward would resort to violence!" The Accountant retorted.
"Whether or not I'm a coward isn't up to you to decide. All I know is that if you keep running your mouth off, I'll turn you into tofu!
Then I'll throw you out! "The Mechanist growled.
The Accountant's face fell. "Bowing to power is a wise thing to do!
I'll endure. "
Zhou Qianlin almost laughed at the Accountant's strange expression. This guy was a clown.
Just then, the curtains to the back room parted. The Gourmet emerged, carrying a tray with eight small, intricate plates. Each plate had a conical roll of seaweed, but it was impossible to see what was inside.
"Here comes the good stuff.
What is it?
What is it? "The Accountant asked excitedly.
"Shut up!"
The Gourmet set the tray down on the table. "Help yourself. Appetizer, pork belly rolls.
When I was cutting up the bluefin tuna, I chopped up the pork belly and wrapped it in seaweed.
There's no other seasoning, just the delectable flavor of pork belly mixed with the seaweed.
One for each of us. "
As he spoke, the Gourmet picked up one for himself. He took three bites, then two. When he was done, his eyes lingered on Zhou Qianlin. He smiled.
"This is the Gourmet." Lan Jue introduced Zhou Qianlin.
"Hello, thank you for your hospitality." Zhou Qianlin rose to her feet.
The Gourmet smiled. "No need to be so polite. Welcome aboard." He turned and walked away.
The Accountant was the first to reach for the pork belly roll, but the Mechanist slapped his hand out of his grasp.
"What are you doing?
Can't I stuff my mouth with food? "The Accountant snarled.
The Mechanist pointed in the direction of the Wine Master. The Wine Master had risen to his feet, and was walking to the side to open a case.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. She stood and looked in the direction of the Wine Master.
The silver metal box opened, and a faint white gas came out.
"White wine." Lan Jue's face revealed a hint of joy.
Zhou Qianlin asked curiously, "How do you know it's white wine?"
"Because of the temperature and taste."
Lan Jue explained, "Different wines are suitable for drinking at different temperatures. Red wine is suitable for drinking at 15 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, it's impossible for white gas to appear when the incubator is opened.
White wine was suitable for drinking at five degrees Celsius, so such a situation would naturally occur.
Of course, the temperature of the champagne was also very low. However, champagne was clearly not suitable for today's meal.
Therefore, it must be white wine.
Only white wine can bring out the freshness of the seafood. "
The first things the Wine Master produced were eight glasses, followed by a bottle of wine. It was much larger than the average bottle, and held three liters of wine.
Looking at the lotuax on the label, Lan Jue was slightly disappointed. "It's a little ordinary."
The Wine Master gave him a sidelong glance. "With bluefin tuna, a refreshing white wine would be great.
What else would you like to drink? "
Lan Jue smiled. "It's alright.
It's a large bottle, after all.
The quality should be good. "
The Wine Master gently pushed the bottle over to Lan Jue. At the same time, he tossed over a Seahorse knife, which was used to open the cork.
Lan Jue skillfully opened the cork, and picked up the bottle. She placed her thumb on the bottom, and held it with her other four fingers. She walked over to the Wine Master, and poured him a little.
The Wine Master swirled the glass, brought it to his nose, and took a sip. After savoring the taste, he turned to Lan Jue and nodded. "This white wine is only a village wine, but it's in excellent condition.
That's the advantage of a large bottle. "
"Is a large bottle that good?" The Accountant asked curiously.
The Wine Master glanced at him. "You're wasting it."
The Accountant's mouth twitched, but he didn't want to act rashly in front of the Wine Master.
Lan Jue couldn't help but laugh. "The larger the bottle, the more liquid there is, and the longer it lasts.
If an ordinary bottle of seven hundred and fifty milliliters can last for thirty years, then a one and a half liter can last for forty years, and this three liter can last even longer.
Also, because it's the same bottle, and there's enough of it, the longer it's in contact with the air, the more it changes.
Therefore, for the same type of wine, a larger bottle of the same wine would definitely have a higher value, and the quality would also be better.
Especially for older wines. "
As he spoke, he walked over to the Seamstress's side, and poured two fingers' worth of liquid for her. Next was Zhou Qianlin, then the Wine Master, the Mechanist, the Coffee Master, the Accountant, and himself.
It seemed like a simple order, but it was also a matter of etiquette. Ladies first, seniors first.
Zhou Qianlin swirled her glass, and the faint fragrance of the white wine filled her nostrils. She took a sip, and the sweet taste flowed down her throat. Her whole body felt as if it had been cleansed.
Her beautiful eyes lit up.
The roll was filled with pink minced meat. It didn't look very tempting, and when it was brought to her nose it didn't smell much.
Zhou Qianlin turned her head to look at Lan Jue. This was the first time she'd seen food like this.
Lan Jue smiled. "Go ahead. We only get this once a year, that's all."
The Accountant couldn't help but interject. "Jewelry Master, what's so good about this fish?
It's my first time as well. "
The Coffee Master rolled his eyes. "Letting you sneak in was a mistake.
But for the sake of these two beautiful ladies, I'll give you a brief introduction. "
"Bluefin tuna live deep in the ocean, and are considered mature when they weigh more than fifty kilos. When they're brought ashore, they don't taste the best when they're fresh, but when they're transported, they have to be kept chilled for five days.
Give it time to release its amino acids.
After five days of excretion, it'll be at its best. That's what we're going to eat.
The most delicious part of a bluefin tuna is the belly. Of course, the big belly is the best. Although the minced meat isn't the best part of the belly, it's still a delicacy. "

Once, a gourmet friend took me to a feast where we tasted whole bluefin tuna. I'll never forget it.
That's how I came to be.
I'll write down my feelings for everyone.
