Being a man, the most important thing is to be happy! Cai Lan is a famous Hong Kong writer, gourmet, traveler, filmmaker ... and a "player" in the eyes of many people. An 80-year-old man, who was invited on 13th last year, still eats meat and drinks heavily, and his face is full of joy. Cai Lan once said that even if he lived for another three years, he would not have enough fun, and TVB also had a classic dialogue: "As a person, the most important thing is happiness".
In order to teach everyone to eat, drink and enjoy life, as early as the 1990s, TVB produced a travel program "Cai Lan Sighs the World", which allowed the best player Cai Lan to travel around the world with the stars and feel the life scene representing the highest enjoyment of life. By the Swiss Snow Mountain Lake, he took Shao Meiqi Li Qihong to drink red wine, eat cheese made by beer, roast venison and freshly squeezed milk ... Seeing Shao Meiqi's satisfied expression, he really had "fine eyes".
He took Michele Monique Reis to Hokkaido to eat the best Japanese food and sighed at the top open-air hot springs. At that time, Michele Monique Reis was still single, sighing at the hot spring and expressing her view on mate selection: "The most important thing is to be good to people and me."
"Sighing the world" in Cantonese means to enjoy life carefree. Hong Kong people are famous for "knowing food and drinking and sighing the world", and many celebrity stars in Hong Kong circle are experts in eating, drinking and having fun. As several generations of goddesses, Brigitte Lin always seems out of place on the screen, and "Xia Qing drinking" has become a classic moment in Hong Kong films.
I didn't expect my sister to be on the reality show because a drunken crab exposed her true face of eating. After a round of charge, her eyes were blurred and she sighed, "A great enjoyment on earth." At present, my sister is very happy to expose that Xing Liyuan chased her with a few hairy crabs. Brigitte Lin is an out-of-touch goddess, while Zhang Xiaohui is an out-of-touch flower who once threatened to "eat without clothes". In other words, in fact, has Miss Zhang wronged her stomach?
As early as 2003, she wrote an article about tea restaurants in Sing Tao Daily. From Hong Kong's Jinfeng milk tea, Tandao coffee, Cui Hua fish eggs to new york's fried double eggs, hash brown bacon mushrooms, she is a treasure, saying that she can't get enough of them.
Can be picky about exquisite Italian food, and she also said that she can eat it for a lifetime. The first course is fresh semi-soft mozzarella cheese, and the main course is T-bone grilled steak, with seasonal black cherries. Zhang Xiaohui never eats fast, and she is not as stiff as most female stars.
Now, what she advocates is that "you should buy clothes as well as rice".
Many sighing stars will also develop their hobbies into careers.
"Coffee Prince" Chen Hao has been a sideline since he started to run his own coffee brand, and coffee is the main business. When filming in the group, you should also bring a commercial coffee pot, get up early every day before going to work, and make coffee to entertain your colleagues. Li Jiaxin, his partner in Blackpool, said, "I'm not afraid to work until the wee hours."
* * * The same hobby will also become a tacit understanding between partners. Chen Hao and his wife Chen Yinwei became attached to coffee, but after his predecessor Liao Bier broke up with him, he began to study red wine.
Later, Liao Bier gradually obtained the qualification of international wine tasting, and also brewed a personal brand wine named "Bellavizio" in Bordeaux, which means beautiful mistake in Chinese. This wine later won seven international awards. Liao Bier is very excited because one of his hobbies has won international recognition.
In fact, there are so many delicious and fun things, and the most popular thing for gluttons is wine.
They have wine. Do you have a story? In the late 1980s, Ni Kuang, David Henry Hwang and Cai Lan, the three great talents in Hong Kong, organized a talk show called No Defender Tonight. The opening of each episode is to warm up the scene with wine, and there is always a little drunkenness in the topic.
Their topics are free and unrestrained, and there are no rules at all. On one occasion, James J.S.Wong asked everyone to share an interesting story. Ni Kuang told his first visit to Qiong Yao. He said that Qiong Yao gracefully led two ladies and dogs downstairs and asked with a smile, "What would you like to drink, Mr. Ni?"
Seeing Qiong Yao's exquisite shape, Ni Kuang was embarrassed to say brandy directly, and deliberately said elegantly, "I want to drink French-made liquid with alcohol." Qiong precious jade said "good" after listening and paced upstairs. Unexpectedly, when she came down again, she gave Ni Kuang a French perfume ... Ni Kuang was scared silly on the spot.
Ni Kuang, Huang Jiansheng and Cai Lan are all wine lovers. Someone once commented on David Henry Hwang's "lust, good wine and good money". After James J.S.Wong knew it, he re-evaluated himself: "Lust is fearless, good wine is endless, and good money is incompetent."
Just like Li Bai's thousands of poems about fighting for wine, wine is also the source of inspiration for David Henry Hwang. In his lyrics "Time flies", there is a phrase "Qian Qian, half drunk and half awake, smiling". In a few words, it depicts the posture of the green snake and the white snake.
In the 1990s, the classic foreign wine advertisement "remy martin Opens" was also written by him after drinking. When this sentence came out, it swept the wine industry and made Remy Martin a household name.
Cai Lan said that he inherited his good capacity for drinking from his mother. The 78-year-old man can finish a glass of brandy in two days.
Once Ni Kuang went to Singapore for lunch in Cai Lan, Cai Lan's mother tentatively asked Ni Kuang, "I heard that you like drinking very much?" Ni Kuang was afraid that the old man didn't like "drunkards" and pretended to be reserved: "I only drink a little, and I don't drink it until after dark. It's too degenerate to drink it during the day!"
As a result, after eating the third course, Cai Lan's mother suddenly struck the table: "Ni Kuang! You don't drink, I drink! I am so old, I am not afraid of falling! " Ni Kuang blushed, and menstruation wanted to drink to him!
Ni Kuang has a famous saying about wine. The first half of the sentence is "I'll drink it when the sun goes down", and the second half is "there is always a place in this world where the sun doesn't go down".
Cai Lan also has his own reason for the theory of "drinking during the day": "A person can drink early in the morning, which shows that he is a person who can control his own time, a free person and very happy."
Well, how can a great writer not make up an excuse for drinking?
There are also many stars in your circle who drink and become experts. Carina Lau, for example, is the famous "Brewmaster" in the circle. Growing up in Suzhou, she is very familiar with the aroma of yellow rice wine after heating-it is the happiness of family reunion around the dinner table.
After growing up, Carina Lau still has a soft spot for wine. She is not only a good drinker, but also knows what kind of food goes with what kind of wine and what kind of wine to drink in what atmosphere.
Tony Leung Chiu Wai loves to drink, too. He drinks in a personality. For example, after reading Haruki Murakami's book recently, he will go to Japanese bars and sushi restaurants alone and drink sake or beer alone. Carina Lau teased: "He wants to play Haruki Murakami himself."
If you are super rich, you will often spend a lot of money to satisfy your love of wine. Lin Jianyue, the entertainment tycoon, and Liu Luanxiong, one of the four richest people in Hong Kong, are both famous wine kings in Hong Kong. Lin Jianyue once said that discovering old wine is his pleasure, just like discovering potential artists.
He said that witnessing a case of wine slowly change from fresh to heavy and elegant is like witnessing a star from obscurity to fame. The process is long and arduous. Cultivating a superstar is like building a cult wine. It is necessary to have the right time and place. When Liu Luanxiong was young, he loved parties, so he bought wine crazily. Different brands bought it in different years, claiming to have spent more than 10 billion. Last June, 5438+ 10, Liu auctioned his 38-year-old * *17 bottles of "private collection" at Sotheby's, with a turnover of 53.04 million, more than double the original estimate.
It seems that the rich people in Hong Kong are willing to spend money just to "drink with a sigh". Only food and wine can be worthy of it.
In TVB's giant dramas, you can always see rich people shaking their glasses and talking about hundreds of millions of ups and downs. In the workplace drama, a lawyer and a doctor meet in a bar after work. What's bothering you? Let's talk about it after drinking. In the movie, the exquisite middle class held a wine tasting party and enjoyed the year of tasting with the tip of the tongue, which was called "blind drinking".
Why do cocktail parties become the favorite of rich stars? In addition to the scarcity of some hidden wines, of course, there are also the enjoyment of the tip of the tongue brought by fine wines and the subtle happiness after drunkenness.
Under the influence of alcohol, people will be relatively relaxed, no longer bound by traditional and secular values, and express themselves more vividly when talking about things, just like awakening the ID. No wonder Carina Lau said, "If you know how to drink, you will understand two kinds of life."
Tasting wine is never a simple "boring", but an elegant and interesting art worth studying. Do you know how much energy and time it takes to brew a high-quality champagne cognac?
Remy martin House held a grand banquet called "Crossing Guangdong" in Guangzhou Grand Theatre, which integrated installation art, high technology, wine tasting and party entertainment. Sister E and the beautiful girl were invited to enjoy this innovative interactive experience.
Grapes are the core and soul of cognac. Only excellent white jade grapes can give cognac a unique flavor and rich fragrance, and the raw material for brewing high-quality champagne cognac must be white jade grapes produced in Konnek, Charande Province. Therefore, as soon as you enter the exhibition hall, "remy martin House" shows you a thriving Portuguese garden in the form of light and shadow walls.
The secret of grape fragrance lies in the soil planted. The "Charm of Cognac" area shows us the unique chalk map of the center of Cognac, France.
In the next area, we began to experience the brewing process in an immersive way.
In the "grape dream" full of science and technology, there are crystal white jade and neon grapes in the garden. The staff reminded us that we can "pick" one and then embark on the road of making cognac.
Then we entered the "distillation road", and the "grapes" just picked were put into the distillation pipeline. After press fermentation, the residue is distilled twice in a small copper distiller until it condenses into a drop of colorless and transparent "water of life".
Give the colorless and transparent water of life to the brewing ambassador, and he will help us put it in the oak barrel of Limousin, which was bent by fire. In the long time of cellar storage, the water of life will gradually become a dark amber aromatic liquid after time's experience. Super ceremonial! The longer the water of life gets along with Limousin oak barrels, the more mellow the color becomes. The exhibition shows this wonderful change in the form of "light show".
Because of the different raw materials and brewing time, many foods will be accidentally mixed in a small glass of cognac, such as candied fruit, Christmas fruit cake, honey, oranges … This is also the fun of wine tasting!
Warm reminder, you can use your mobile phone to scan the code and punch in. Every code scan is equivalent to lighting up a map of remy martin. When the map is fully lit, you can exchange it for a bottle of exquisite remy martin water of life as a souvenir.
Under the leadership of Bruce, the chief brand ambassador of remy martin, we also had a "gluttonous feast".
Bruce said that remy martin's X.O. can amplify the taste buds of food, such as the mellow taste of dark chocolate and the sweetness of oranges ... For food with wine, Mr. Bruce also provided an idea: remember a capital "C". This "C" can be cake, cheese, chocolate, corn and so on.
The last stop of the trip must be recommended-Modern Central Bar!
In order to enrich the guests' experience, the bar has launched five kinds of specially prepared cognac cocktails, and each guest can get a free drink. You can consult the taste before ordering. Among them, "Fortune" was created by Justin, honorary ambassador of remy martin Greater China.
The materials include excellent quality VSOP champagne cognac in remy martin, brick tea in Yangloudong, Justin's hometown in Hubei, and Chinese wolfberry and red dates, which are popular in Guangdong ... It sounds like "wearing Guangdong".
However, one of the most popular cocktails for beautiful girls is called "Master Dongshan", which is full of Guangdong flavor. It is made of VSOP, vinegar, beet juice, bitter wine and lime juice. The tongue is slightly sweet after drinking, and the fresh taste buds are very suitable for girls.
Friends who can drink well can try Laos. There are VSOP, bourbon, red absinthe, French gallery wine and bitter essence. ...
There is also "Ri Xin Yue Yi", which is equipped with VSOP, Cantonese milk tea and Du Jun orange wine. The entrance of this wine is the tenderness of milk tea, but it has the stamina of X.O. Although the wine is good, please don't be greedy.
Remy martin House is an important carrier of remy martin brand spirit. Through this wonderful journey, the ingenious inheritance and brand team spirit of cognac will be presented to every consumer.
From 20 16, remy martin's home has passed through cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chengdu and Shenzhen. After a lapse of five years, remy martin House returned to the first stop of its wonderful trip with a brand-new brand "Once remy martin opens, we will shine brilliantly" to respond to the enthusiasm of Guangdong cognac lovers.
The exhibition time is from 1/9- 1/24. Don't miss it! Sister e and the beautiful girls have prepared two brushes ... don't persuade me! I want to get drunk!
Behind the exquisite life, it is inseparable from the foundation of quality. Since 1972, remy martin team has brewed precious cognac with excellent talents, Qi Xin * * * and * * *.
The creativity of this "Guangzhou remy martin House" is to turn the rigorous cognac production process into a dream experience journey, allowing visitors to follow the footsteps of a drop of cognac, discover the story of remy martin brand and feel the process of a drop of grape juice turning into amber wine.
After a little debauchery in the central bar, I deeply felt that "sighing the world" was never a simple waste of money. For sommeliers, it is also a pleasure to invest time and patience to understand the knowledge and stories behind wine.
Only when you can feel the value of this kind of fun can you truly understand life and "sigh the world".
