Several minutes had passed since the restaurant manager had left.
While exchanging small talk and discovering each other's everyday interests, Mr. Gu and Ouyang Nana were approached by the restaurant manager flanked by two waiters, each carrying a tray to their table.
Mr. Gu looked up curiously just in time to see the two waiters gracefully placing glasses filled with a dark red liquid in front of them.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Ouyang, these two glasses contain red wine for aperitif, they have been aerated in advance and are ready for your enjoyment now. Drinking a little red wine before a meal can stimulate the taste buds and help you better appreciate the upcoming cuisine.
This red wine is from the 1982 vintage of the Lafite Estate, it has been aged for 42 years and is incredibly scarce and precious."
Initially, Mr. Gu had no extra thoughts about the red wine, but upon hearing it was from '82 Lafite, he couldn't help raising an eyebrow slightly.
