Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 761

Upon hearing Minerva’s words, Demi nearly snorted with laughter as she thought to herself, ‘Try his cooking’? It’s obvious that the Campbells can’t afford to eat here and they are trying to get a free meal using Matthew’s position. Nonetheless, her mother was still pinching her hand and dissuading her from speaking.

Looking a little awkward, Chloe muttered doubtfully, “Is… Is that appropriate?”

Immediately, Helen reassured her, “Oh—it’s fine. We’re family, after all. There’s no such thing as being inappropriate! Don’t you think so, Matthew?”

Of course, Matthew wasn’t going to shame Helen by saying no to such a request. So, he agreed with a nod. “Right. It’s rare to be able to meet a famous chef from China, so it makes sense to try his cooking.”

And so, Mr. Moses announced, “It’s decided, then. I shall arrange things for you. Oh—what would you like to drink, Mr. Larson? We recently procured a few bottles of Cheval Blanc; would you like me to bring them to you?”

“Cheval Blanc?” Minerva interrupted skeptically. Why would such a high-end establishment as yours serve Cheval Blanc? If we’re going to eat here, you could at least bring us a 1982 Lafite. I know you have it because I saw it on your menu. Bring us a few bottles.”

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Moses replied, “A bottle of this Cheval Blanc costs upward of 300,000, miss.”

Minerva’s eyes bulged and she gaped openly at him. She thought she had seen everything but she had no idea that a bottle of white wine cost so much. “You’re… You’re joking, right?” she asked.

Calmly, he replied, “No, miss. Our boss recently procured these bottles from an auction.”

Minerva stammered, “N-No, what I mean is… How could a bottle of Cheval Blanc cost so much?”

“Because it was produced in 1947!” he answered.
