清朝同治年间,在南洋经商的张弼士参加了法国领事馆举办的一场酒会。当时,来了不少贵宾,工作人员端来了法兰西上等葡萄酒。张弼士拿起酒杯,轻轻啜了一小口,细细品味,香甜爽口,一股绵绵的酒香在口中久久萦绕,无法散去。贵宾们端着酒杯,不愿放下。法国领事见到这种情形,便说了一段有趣的往事。 During the Tongzhi period in the Qing Dynasty, Cheong Fatt Cheeman, who had been doing business in Nanyang, took part in a reception hosted by the French Consulate. At that time, a lot of VIPs came and the staff came to France’s finest wines. Cheung Fattkers pick up the glass, gently sip a small mouth, savoring, sweet and refreshing, a stretch of wine in the mouth a long time lingering, unable to disperse. VIPs are wearing glasses, do not want to let go. When the French consul saw this kind of situation, he said something interesting.
