Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1129 - 1197: "Expert" Lin's Performance

After Fu Shu cursed Lin Hai as "ill-mannered," the waiter happened to wheel up a cart with red wine.After pouring a glass of red wine, Fu Shu proudly swirled the glass, sipping it with a technique considered highly professional by most people, and looked at Lin Hai with disdain from above.

Ouyang Xiaoya frowned; this Mr. Fu seemed to be a high-ranking person, but it was too much to behave this way in front of so many people.

Just as Ouyang Xiaoya was about to speak, Lin Hai proactively spoke with a slight smile.

"Mr. Fu, I think it's you who is the ill-mannered one."

Fu Shu snorted coldly, proudly said, "I come from a healthy family. Unlike some people whose grandfather was imprisoned, father fled with an unknown fate, and grew up among stray dogs."

Clearly, Fu Shu had done research on Lin Hai as well.

"I believe a person's qualities and upbringing can't be defined by their birth."

Lin Hai remained unperturbed, smiling as he added, "For instance, some people don't even know the correct way to drink red wine yet act all expert."

"Nonsense! I was trained by the most professional masters in drinking red wine. My family has equipped me with all kinds of social experiences since childhood."

"Hmph, talking to a poor loser like you, there's no way you'd understand."

Fu Shu despised people like Lin Hai the most; in his eyes, he himself had been meticulously cultivated since childhood, step by step following the plans of his parents and elders to climb up to his current position with many efforts.

Whereas Lin Hai, a mere security guard, seemed to live aimlessly with resentment towards the rich.

"Mr. Fu, I think it's you who doesn't understand."

Lin Hai smiled again and said.

"I don't understand?" Fu Shu laughed angrily, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "I don't understand red wine? Do you know what kind of red wine this is? People like you probably have never seen it in your lifetime, hmph."

Ouyang Xiaoya's eyebrows furrowed deeply; she despised people who used wealth and knowledge to oppress others.

Different levels of knowledge lead to different understandings, but even if someone is illiterate, as long as they abide by the law and aren't despicable, having never harmed others, they deserve respect.

"Then tell me, how don't I understand red wine? If you can't explain, don't blame me for being rude." Fu Shu snorted, his gaze dark.

"And if I am right, then what?" Lin Hai retaliated unceremoniously.

"You can explain? Ridiculous! If you can explain, I'll eat the wine glass; if not, you eat it, deal?" Fu Shu snorted, showing a disdainful expression.

Lin Hai nodded: "Alright then, let's livestream eating the wine glass later."

Ouyang Xiaoya suddenly became anxious, blaming Lin Hai for being impulsive; wine glasses are made of glass, swallowing them could be deadly!

She had spent so much time with Lin Hai, and had begun to secretly admire his extensive knowledge.

But regarding wine, this indeed requires years of subtle cultivation by an aristocratic family to reach an expert level.

Lin Hai apparently didn't have this kind of talent.

In terms of pharmaceuticals, security companies, or other business plans, Ouyang Xiaoya could still be assured.

When it comes to wine knowledge, she thought, how could Beast Lin, who loves erotic massages, know anything?

"Red wine is actually divided into static and dynamic types; because of different raw materials used for production, classifications differ as well."

"Red wine belongs to either red or rose categories."

"What we are drinking today is static red wine, which requires a longer decanting time; swirling the glass is redundant—earlier Mr. Fu deliberately used so-called professional methods, actually using the low-class aristocratic method from Europe."

Lin Hai elaborated slowly.

Ouyang Xiaoya was taken aback, Beast Lin seemed to be explaining clearly, speaking calmly and looking composed, not stressed at all—could he really know about wine?

"Humph, nonsense, lowly European aristocrats? Then tell me, what method do high-class aristocrats use?" Fu Shu was inwardly shocked, having deliberately shown off earlier only to be seen through by Lin Hai.

Dynamic and static red wine are actually very hard to distinguish; only a highly sensitive senior sommelier with years of experience can identify immediately.

As for the swirling glass technique, Fu Shu really wasn't aware of the difference between low-class and high-class aristocratic methods.

He hadn't investigated thoroughly in Europe, and it was possible the foreign teacher who instructed him could've deceived him by mistake; after all, why would any high-class aristocrat come to Huaxia to be a etiquette teacher?

"Swirling red wine accelerates decanting; it's the first step in the red wine preparation pre-drinking adjustment sequence."

"Its purpose is to let the wine 'breathe' for a while, reaching the drinking phase, mixing the wine components with air for better aroma and flavor."

"As for swirling the glass, it's to accelerate this 'breathing' process."

Lin Hai first laid out scientific knowledge like a lecture to fortify the legitimacy of his upcoming argument, to convey what saying it well and justifiably means making it irrefutable.

"You made the following mistakes not long ago"

"Firstly, static red wine does not require glass swirling for accelerated 'breathing'; the optimal method involves finding special spots within the room for decanting—clearly our waiter wasn't professional enough, judging by his outfit, probably hasn't worked for over three months."

Lin Hai pointed at the waiter.

The crowd couldn't help but glance at the waiter.

"This gentleman has sharp eyes; I've been here a month and a half, sincerely apologizing." The waiter looked admiringly at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai nodded, casually gesturing with his hand, appearing poised, continuing: "The purpose of room decor and layout is clearly aimed at hosting guests—by setting a special table at the right-hand corner near the window, it's a ventilated spot, moderately warm, neither dry nor damp, and the feng shui is excellent, should be the best place for decanting."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to that corner, examining it closely, finding Lin Hai's words made sense, even Xiao Bihai couldn't help nodding secretly.

"Alright, we've digressed, let's continue discussing the swirling technique." Lin Hai said with a smile, observing reactions, internally very satisfied.

Fu Shu's face began to look a little gloomy.

"Low-class aristocratic red wine swirling usually involves thumb and forefinger lightly pinching the stem's lower two-thirds, swirling at a 1.5-second rate per rotation clockwise."

"This method is most common; anyone native with schooling in Europe, unless absolutely illiterate, can basically do it."

"The high-class aristocratic technique, however, is completely different."

Everyone perked up ears, becoming very curious.

"Ancient European aristocrats adhered to a complex and meticulous social etiquette, putting considerable effort into swirling glass detail; different ancient aristocrats had fine distinctions in swirling methods."

"For example, those with fiery tempers usually swirl three times clockwise, then five times counter-clockwise."

"Those fond of doctrinalism swirl five times clockwise and five times counter-clockwise."

"As for the Renaissance-style liberalists, swirl twice clockwise, once counter-clockwise, three times clockwise, once counter-clockwise, repeating."

"Hence for high-class aristocrats, swirling a wine glass, besides savoring richer aroma, also showcases one's unique and independent character."

Slowly unfolding the educational knowledge, Lin Hai finished speaking, lightly swirled the red wine glass a few times, clearly adopting the liberalist approach.

He gently sipped half a mouthful, adding: "Sipping wine also has its nuance; typically true aristocrats take a half sip, symbolizing a deep tasting of wine's flavors yet also a moderation in tasting."

"Cough, cough, excuse me, just flaunting a bit of trivial knowledge call me 'posture,' oh no, 'knowledge' Lin"

This was said to the CEO with a smile, after which Lin Hai slowly sat down, an action akin to a scholarly aristocratic gentleman romantically conversing with a lady, immediate sensation.
