City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1411 - 1410: Tasting a Counterfeit

After leaving the perfume company, Ye Qiu and the three women got into the car and planned to buy those invitation cards at Chinatown later.

Since it was still early, Ye Qiu drove to the Louvre first to check out the attractions. Zhou Wenting and Louise might have visited it many times.

But Ye Qiu hadn’t seen it yet, nor had Song Ying.

"Right now, we’ll go to the Louvre, and after that, we’ll have lunch, then visit Notre-Dame and Chinatown, and tonight we’ll return to the Eastern Castle."

Upon arriving at the parking lot outside the Louvre, Ye Qiu and the three women got out of the car. Despite a slight drizzling feeling, it seemed visitors both domestic and international were still plentiful.

After parking the car, the four of them took the umbrellas provided by the car. Louise and Ye Qiu had one, Song Ying and Zhou Wenting had another. Ye Qiu opened the umbrella and put it over Louise’s shoulder, heading towards the ticket gate ahead.

The combined ticket was fifteen euros each. Louise bought four tickets and, after passing the inspection, put away the umbrella and went inside, seemingly seeing various collections.

The Louvre itself is an ancient building, and the collections inside amount to hundreds of thousands of items, likely requiring several days to see them all.

However, Ye Qiu only intended to give them a simple overview this time.

Song Ying stayed nearby, occasionally taking photos with her phone. However, some areas prohibited photography, so she couldn’t take pictures there.

After approximately three hours of touring, they only saw a small portion of the collections. Apart from Song Ying, who loved taking photos, Zhou Wenting and Louise were already bored.

Thus, they didn’t feel much; wearing high heels, they walked all day, now feeling quite tired.

As they exited the Louvre, Ye Qiu said, "Counselor, you haven’t tried authentic French cuisine; now I’ll take you to a thirteen-course French banquet."

"Really? Will it be expensive?"

Song Ying asked.

She hadn’t spent much, having been feasting extravagantly with Ye Qiu, and felt a bit embarrassed.

"The dishes are not expensive, but the wine is."

With a French banquet, the dishes truly aren’t costly, but even the cheaper wines are pricey.

Now with the three women back in the car, Ye Qiu drove them to the most famous French restaurant in Paris, which specialized in former royal French court cuisine.

Previously, Ye Qiu had eaten at Count Charley’s place.

Now, dining outside, upon arriving, they found quite a number of luxury cars parked here.

Ye Qiu and the three women got out of the car, holding umbrellas, and headed toward the entrance. Just as they reached the door, two blonde female waitresses immediately came up to greet them and took the two umbrellas away to store them.

"Sir, is it for four people?"

"Of course, for four,"

Going to this restaurant often involves couples, so it was their first time seeing someone like Ye Qiu coming with three beautiful women.

The waitress led Ye Qiu and the three inside, seating them at a four-person table, with long seats, two seats on each side.

Ye Qiu and Louise sat on one side, Zhou Wenting and Song Ying on the other.

As the waitress brought the menu for Ye Qiu to see, Ye Qiu immediately said, "Thirteen-course royal French banquet, and also a bottle of wine."

"Sir, do you know which wine you want?"

"The most expensive one."

"Our most expensive here is the Viscount Red Wine, thirty thousand euros per bottle."

In France, thirty thousand euros is steep for a bottle, but in China, it might be sixty thousand euros. Song Ying was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected a bottle of wine to become so expensive now.

Thinking back, Ye Qiu had given her two bottles, valuing them at hundreds of thousands each?

Of course, in the Eastern Castle, they drank a few bottles of red wine daily, although those were of inferior quality, but the taste was still decent.

"Isn’t it too expensive?"

Song Ying said.

"Nowadays, Viscount Red Wine is priced like this, so Count Charley is making a fortune." Louise said.

Back then, Ye Qiu sold it to Count Charley for ten thousand euros per bottle; Count Charley kept a thousand cases, even earning handsomely at double the price, hence considering Ye Qiu quite adept at business.

"Sir, Miss, now Viscount Red Wine is priced like this. Of course, if you find it expensive, you can choose Lafite. Lafite here ranges from a few thousand to over ten thousand per bottle."

Lafite used to be the most expensive, but now Viscount Red Wine holds that title.

"Then let’s have one bottle of Viscount and one bottle of Lafite instead!"

After the waitress noted the order, she still seemed somewhat astonished; did Ye Qiu dressed like this genuinely have enough money to pay?

Nevertheless, seeing the three women beside him, their clothes weren’t cheap either.

And they just heard he had arrived in a Bentley. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After the waitress left, Song Ying said, "Ye Qiu, don’t we already have this at home? Isn’t it a waste of money?"

"It’s fine, they are just earning my money anyway."

The four of them sat there, listening to the elegant and romantic music; the atmosphere was undeniably nice. Of course, if couples came here to dine and quietly chat, it would further enhance intimacy.

When the waitress brought over the two bottles of wine and glasses and confirmed they wanted them opened, the Viscount Red Wine was opened first and poured into the glasses.

As the waitress served it, Ye Qiu tasted it and suddenly felt the flavor was somewhat different, not like the Viscount Red Wine he used to drink.

Could it be fake?

This can’t be true, can it?

Looking at Louise and the other two, they also tasted it and felt the flavor was different.

What’s happening?

A wine costing over thirty thousand euros per bottle turned out to be fake?

This restaurant is too audacious!

After all, in France, selling counterfeit items could result in fines and bankruptcy compensation, so Ye Qiu didn’t say anything until the waitress left, and Louise said, "Ye Qiu, why does this taste odd, not like Viscount Red Wine?"

"You all tasted the difference too?"

Back in China, when Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu went to dine on Western food, they encountered fake red wine, where local ordinary red wine posed as foreign import.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu now tasted what seemed like a cheaper red wine pretending to be the priciest Viscount Red Wine.

"Shall we report it?" Louise immediately said.

She was quite angry; selling fake wine here, and they all tasted it!

"Let’s not rush; we’ll address this after lunch, okay?" Ye Qiu didn’t want his Viscount Red Wine brand to suffer slander from fake wine, affecting the brand’s reputation.

When the other thirteen dishes started coming one after another, Ye Qiu and the three women seemed to have lost their earlier appetite, realizing this place sold fake wine.

Still, from observing the dishes, they seemed very authentic.

But selling fake wine was outrageous.
