Chapter one hundred and eighty nine tasting wine
With a few confused classmates, Cen Jiahua walked straight to the key of the Chenjiukuan to open the small door next to it.
Although the aging warehouse has a good ventilation and exhaust system, it is inevitable that it has an aged musty smell due to long-term closure.
Standing at the door, Zhou Haiyan and others leaned into the dark hole at the door, looking at Cen Jiahua with unknown eyes.
"You will know when you go in." Cen Jiahua smiled and kept them in a silence at the end of the matter.
Zhou Haiyan and others looked at each other, nodded slightly, and entered one after another. Anyway, Cen Jiahua could not set up a trap here and kill him for money, right?
Finally, Jiahua, who walked in, watched them trying hard to adapt to the sudden change between light and darkness. Not only was it a little funny, so he clapped his palms hard. As Cen Jiahua's applause began, a series of light bulbs lit up one after another.
In a blink of an eye, the hole that was originally invisible to point out became brightly lit, and the dazzling lights illuminated the entire corridor like daytime. The long corridor was invisible at first sight, and the places where the lights were not on were still like the terrifying mouths of giant beasts, making it impossible to see the true depth of the hole.
Looking at the amazing scene in front of her, several people who entered it for the first time were stunned and unable to speak. Even Xu Ying, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked. She never thought that what Cen Jiahua said was so huge.
Thinking of it, she couldn't help but look in the direction where Cen Jiahua was standing, but Cen Jiahua also happened to see it. The two of them had a look in the air, and then they looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
After a while, Zhou Haiyan and others woke up from the shock, turned around and pulled Cen Jiahua to ask questions.
"Fourth brother, are you too big? Are you in an air-raid shelter?" Hou Jiandi said in a hurry.
"Sweat! Why am I doing an air-raid shelter? I'm full and full?" Cen Jiahua was a little amused and crying. Unexpectedly, the old wine warehouse was marked as an air-raid shelter.
"What is the floor placed in Jiahua?" At this time, Zheng Xia's voice came back from the front.
It was said that the girl was careful. Just as Hou Jian pulled Cen Jiahua and asked questions, Zheng Xia had already walked to a compartment and saw oak barrels placed on the wooden shelf.
The squad leader asked. Cen Jiahua couldn't answer far away. He hurriedly followed a few steps and came to the front of the compartment to explain to them. Seeing Cen Jiahua leaving, Hou Jian and others hurriedly followed suit and there were still many situations inside.
"These oak barrels are made of newly brewed wines this fall. They will be available for drinking in the spring next year." Cen Jiahua pointed to the neat row of oak barrels on the wooden shelf and said proudly.
"Wine? Is there any homemade wine here?" Everyone was even more surprised. After all, for many people, winemaking is quite far from their lives.
"Well, there is a vineyard next to the farm, but you were just hunting and didn't take a look." Cen Jiahua nodded and said, "But this year is the first year of harvest and the yield is still very low."
"The fourth brother, how much investment should be for such a large warehouse?" Liu Lizhi was thinking about this question after entering the cave.
"Fortunately, I'm lucky. This was originally a natural hole. I'll get it after a little transformation." When I mentioned this, Cen Jiahua looked full of joy. After all, this aging warehouse can be said to be given by God.
"Jiahua, can I smell the taste of these grape juice?" Zheng Xia wandered around the oak barrel for a while, then turned to Cen Jiahua for advice.
"I can't ask for comments from experts like you, the squad leader." Cen Jiahua said happily with a gesture of invitation.
Cen Jiahua knew that Zheng Xia was born with such a background and her current identity, she must have had many wines she had come into contact with. Maybe she had even visited some wineries for a visit. Having someone who knew the goods helped her to take a look is also beneficial for her subsequent work. After all, she and Li Hong are basically both people in the game, and they are not so objective in their viewing of problems.
Without waiting for Cen Jiahua's help, Zheng Xia had already removed the plug on the oak barrel in a familiar way. It seemed that she had really seen this thing. She slapped the air above the small holes with her hands, and then she could smell a faint feeling as if it was coming out.
Because Zheng Xia often travels abroad because she works in a foreign bank, she has been exposed to a lot of wines at Western wine parties. Although she cannot be called an expert to identify wines, she still knows a little about it. She even went to a handmade wine estate in Bordeaux, France and tasted top wines in other people's cellars.
Zheng Xia knew that the identification of wine mainly depends on color, fragrance and taste. Although these wines are all in oak barrels, Zheng Xia was confident that she could taste it at all just by smelling the smell.
Seeing Zheng Xia smelling the smell in a good manner, the others followed her and surrounded her in the middle.
Seeing everyone's in high spirits, Cen Jia
It doesn't mean anything better, after all, it's not easy for everyone to come once.
He pulled a small grid hidden in the compartment, took out seven glasses from it, and poured the small bucket of wine into the cup. These glasses were all prepared long ago, and they were kept clean in the sealed grid.
This small barrel of wine is used to add wine to the large barrel. Now there is still half of the barrel left, so you can drink it in advance. Although the aging time limit is not enough and the quality is inevitably a little insufficient, it is just that feeling. A few friends together, even if the wine is a little bad, it will not damage such a happy atmosphere.
Seeing Cen Jiahua pouring wine, Xu Ying hurriedly left the people who were joining in the fun and came to help.
After a while, the bright red grape juice slowly flowed from the small wooden barrel into the crystal clear glass. The bright red wine rippled in the cup, and then the rich aroma of wine began to spread in the air.
"Squad leader, have you tasted it?" Cen Jiahua poured the wine and turned around and shouted to the crowd.
"Okay, your wine is really good." Hearing Cen Jiahua's voice, Zheng Xia squeezed out of the crowd and said, "I didn't expect that such high-quality wine could be made in low-latitude areas. You are very capable!"
"Haha, TOEFL!" A faint smile appeared on Cen Jiahua's face, and he picked up a glass of wine and handed it over and said, "Come on, taste the taste. Although there is not enough time to age, I will just give it a try."
Zheng Xia's eyes lit up, took the wine glass and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just the key to the fireworks, it doesn't matter."
Taking the wine glass in Cen Jiahua's hand, Zheng Xia began to shake the wine glass and began to taste the wine according to the usual procedures. The others also picked up the cups on the table and started to taste it.
By the way, these wines still contain a lot of flesh precipitation. When you shake the wine glass, they will attach to the wall of the cup. Strictly speaking, they cannot be called wine yet, and grape juice is a very accurate name.
But even so, the overflowing wine still filled the small compartment with the smell of autumn, as if it was back to the orchard when the fragrance blew.
Others don’t know much about the goods, but Zheng Xia has seen many good wines. Although it is just a shallow glass, she can still feel that these wines are really rare wines.
"Jiahua, can you have all this kind of wine in your aging warehouse?" Zheng Xia walked to the door of the compartment with her wine glass and looked out.
"Where is it? It's just a few compartments. You have to fill it up. I don't know when the harvest will be possible in a year." Cen Jiahua drank the wine glass in his hand and then said.
If you say that these wines still have astringent taste, the flesh mixed in them also affects the taste, but they are still fragrant. However, since others think that these wines are of high quality, Cen Jiahua is relieved. As long as you continue to operate in this way, the wine brand of the manor will be established soon.
After drinking the wine, Cen Jiahua continued to take them and turn them all over the aging warehouse, which satisfied their curiosity. If this huge cave was no less shocking to them than the fine wine they drank just now, facing the magical structure of nature, no matter who it is, he will always be in awe.
When he walked out of the aging warehouse, Zhou Haiyan and others were still very moved and envious of Cen Jiahua's luck. Especially Zheng Xia, when she learned that no matter what season in the cave, she could maintain a nearly constant temperature and humidity, which was simply the best aging warehouse for creation in the world.
While walking towards the manor, Zhou Haiyan, Zheng Xia and others rushed forward intentionally or unintentionally, leaving Cen Jiahua and Xu Ying behind.
"It's very hard to make this manor so vivid, right?" Xu Ying looked at Cen Jiahua who was walking next to her and said softly.
"Fortunately, my family is very supportive, and I feel relaxed..." Cen Jiahua shook her head, and she couldn't show her timidity in front of the girl.
"What are your plans in the future?" Xu Ying twisted the corners of her clothes and gently carried the small stones on the road with her toes.
"From the future? Let's build this manor better." When talking about the future, Cen Jiahua was a little melancholy and stretched and said, "Anyway, I don't have any ambitions, just guard this manor."
Xu Ying quietly turned her head to look at Cen Jiahua, then lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
If a person can do something well in his life, he will have achieved his merits.
If Zhiyuan Villa can be built into a top manor, Cen Jiahua already thinks it is enough. Of course, it would be even better if there is someone to share with him.
