198: Chapter 198: Expensive Red Wine 198: Chapter 198: Expensive Red Wine After briefly discussing farming and so village matters,
they didn’t dwell much on the topic.
Since both of them were out to have fun today, talking too much about work would have been less interesting.
They were both very hungry, so they ate their steaks quickly.
It wasn’t long before they had finished.
After finishing their steaks and having so snacks, Wu Kexin turned to call over the waiter to open their bottle of red wine.
The waiter had a very good attitude and always kept a composed smile on his face.
“Of course, miss.”
The waiter smiled and nodded, then took out a professional corkscrew to remove the cork from the bottle.
After that, he lifted the bottle and poured a glass for each of them.
“Please enjoy, and let know if you need anything,”
the waiter said with a smile before leaving them.
The two exchanged a look after watching the waiter leave, then simultaneously picked up their glasses.
“This first glass must be to celebrate,”
Wu Kexin suddenly said with a smile, “but there’s nothing special to celebrate today, so let’s celebrate you securing that piece of land.”
Chen Yang was slightly startled at what she said, then also smiled, thinking that securing that piece of land indeed deserved a good celebration!
After all, that was a gold mine!
“Okay, then let’s do as you say, this first glass is to celebrate getting that land.”
Chen Yang chuckled, then clinked glasses and downed his in one go.
Usually, Chen Yang drank spirits and beer.
He rarely drank red wine; one could even say he had never encountered it.
Having suddenly drunk a full glass, his face almost contorted.
“What’s this taste, so bitter,”
he complained while smacking his lips.
The red wine had a slightly sour taste, feeling like he had drunk a cup of vinegar.
The flavor was very odd.
Seeing Chen Yang’s almost contorted facial expression, Wu Kexin laughed heartily.
“You think this is beer?
Red wine needs to be gently swirled, slowly savored, not downed like that,”
Wu Kexin said, chuckling.
Then she calmly picked up her glass and began swirling it.
The burgundy liquid in the long-stemd glass continuously swirled along the glass walls, looking very stylish.
Chen Yang, seeing this, also imdiately poured himself another glass and started mimicking Wu Kexin, gently swirling and slowly tasting it.
But the taste was still the sa—sour with a strange flavor.
It was indescribable.
“This wine isn’t fun, if we drink it your way, we might not even finish this bottle by tomorrow,” Chen Yang comnted disdainfully.
Wu Kexin covered her mouth and laughed, not countering his comnt.
“You don’t know the good life you have.
Drink it more and you’ll appreciate the nuances,” Wu Kexin said with a laugh.
Chen Yang was skeptical.
“What nuances?
How can this compare to the taste of spirits?
Anyway, I can’t enjoy this fortune.
Let’s change spots and see who’s better, this wine isn’t doing it,” Chen Yang shook his head, very critical of the red wine.
Wu Kexin took a small sip from her glass then shook her head, “That won’t do, there’s still over half a bottle of this red wine left.
If we don’t drink it, that’s a loss of over five thousand.
Are you willing to waste that?”
“What?”
Chen Yang looked bewildered, “This half bottle is worth over five thousand?”
Wu Kexin nodded, “Yes, a full bottle is over ten thousand.
Doesn’t this half amount to five thousand?”
Chen Yang almost spat out blood.
This bottle of wine… over ten thousand.
He had thought at most a few hundred, maybe a thousand…
“What’s wrong?
Feeling the pinch?” Wu Kexin covered her mouth and laughed as she saw Chen Yang’s pained expression.
“Who says I’m feeling the pinch?
You’ve helped so much, ten thousand for a bottle of wine, what’s there to hesitate about,” Chen Yang imdiately retorted.
Even though he indeed felt the pinch, how could he admit it at this mont?
After all, the order had been placed.
“Haha, really?
Doesn’t your heart ache?” Wu Kexin teased in response.
Chen Yang nodded resolutely, “Of course.”
“Alright, I’ll trust you, but do you still want to leave now?”
Chen Yang was taken aback, then shook his head, “Let’s finish our drinks first…
This cost over five thousand, it would be a pity to waste it.”
Saying so, Chen Yang picked up the wine bottle and poured himself another glass.
Although he wasn’t used to drinking it, thinking about the price of the wine…
Chen Yang forced down his discomfort and drank.
Seeing Chen Yang not wanting to drink but still forcing it down like poison, Wu Kexin laughed uncontrollably.
It was really too amusing.
Although Chen Yang was a bit stingy and lacked a sense of taste, his style not quite highbrow enough,
Wu Kexin felt not only no disdain, but her fondness for Chen Yang grew stronger.
This feeling was very strange.
After deciding not to leave, they sat in the restaurant and drank for a while longer.
It wasn’t until they had finished the red wine that they planned to leave.
“That was such a waste.
Later, I’ll take you sowhere that definitely offers better value for money,”
Chen Yang said, smacking his lips with so distress.
Although he had money now, a bottle of wine costing ten thousand, especially when it tasted so bad, was sothing Chen Yang couldn’t quite accept.
Wu Kexin chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and turned her head to call the server over.
When the server heard they were ready to pay, his smile grew even broader.
“Sir, madam, do you have a mbership card for our restaurant?
If you do, you can get a 20% discount today,”
the server kindly advised.
Chen Yang was about to say they didn’t have a mbership and was getting ready to pull out his phone to pay.
However, Wu Kexin directly lowered her head, rummaged through her bag, and handed over a black card to the server.
When the server saw the black card, his expression instantly beca even more respectful.
Because that card was a high-tier mbership given to so distinguished individuals when their restaurant first opened!
Hardly anyone in the entire county possessed it!
How could he not show respect?
“Swipe this card please; there should still be money on it,”
Wu Kexin said indifferently.
“Certainly, madam.
Please wait a mont,”
the server bowed respectfully and then hurried to the front desk with the card.
A few minutes later, he returned.
“Madam, here is your card!”
The server handed it over with both hands, his manner as respectful as could be.
Chen Yang was sowhat taken aback by the sight.
“Alright,”
Wu Kexin nodded indifferently and then stood up, looking at a sowhat bewildered Chen Yang, “Shall we go?”
“Alright…”
Chen Yang responded sowhat slowly as he stood up, and then they both left the restaurant together.
As they passed by the restaurant, many people’s gazes turned toward them.
The other diners thought Wu Kexin was incredibly beautiful and then glanced at Chen Yang, speculating about his identity.
The surrounding servers cast respectful glances at them.
They all knew that Chen Yang and Wu Kexin had just whipped out a black card.
Seeing all this play out in the restaurant, Chen Yang, once outside the restaurant door, imdiately couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mayor, what’s that card?
Why did everyone in the restaurant start showing you such respect when you took it out?”
Wu Kexin smiled faintly, “It’s nothing, just a higher-level mbership card that I topped up a while ago.”
Wu Kexin’s explanation was simple, but Chen Yang was no fool.
He could tell that the card was not sothing just anyone could possess.
However, he didn’t press further and instead said, “How much did it charge you just now?
I’ll transfer it to you directly from my phone.”
Saying this, Chen Yang took out his phone, opened up his chat with Wu Kexin, and prepared to transfer the dinner money to her.
