Chapter 240 Drinking(2/3)
Before Tang Jing could speak, Gao Bin spoke first:
"If I make a bet of 1 million or less than 10 million, Tang Jing will definitely not agree!"
"Holy shit, Tang Jing, if you don't agree to this, you're going to have trouble with money."
Tang Jing almost rolled her eyes to the sky:
"Then you should quickly compensate Gao Bin, or I won't agree."
"Why, don't worry about money."
"Gao Bin, if you make 10 million, remember to give me half of it," Tang Jing said to Gao Bin.
"How about half of it? You are a great contributor. Just leave 2 million for me. I will also buy a 760 and drive it!"
Xiao Chen immediately raised his hand:
“We have cars available in our store!”
The congratulatory letter was dumbfounded. Is he the clown who co-wrote it?
The three people looked at each other and laughed. The prank was a success.
Lao Zhuo came over with his hands behind his back:
"What are you so happy to talk about?"
The congratulatory letter leaned on Lao Zhuo's shoulder with an aggrieved look:
"Please take care of them, they are joining forces to bully me."
"You deserve it!" Lao Zhuo was even more ruthless, whipping the corpse directly.
Phew~~~
Gao Bin smiled and waved his hand:
"Stop making trouble, Lao Zhuo, bring out the fine wine you have collected for several years, and the congratulatory letter will pay for it."
"Why?" The congratulatory letter stared.
"You have money."
"You have no money?"
"I don't have as much money as you."
"I..."
Tang Jing smiled and slapped the table:
"Congratulations, this is the first time I've seen you fail to impress others."
"Go, go, Lao Zhuo, get some wine, I will not come back until you get drunk today!"
"No~question~"
Lao Zhuo has a lot of wine hidden away, so it would not be a pity to drink a bottle.
As a result, Gao Bin was not happy when he took out Yushi Ten Years:
"Lao Zhuo, are you really stingy? Let's not talk about the 20-year-old. Why don't you get a bottle of the 15-year-old to fill the scene?"
Lao Zhuo glared at him:
"You are just a naughty person. If you don't tell them, who will know?"
"Lao Zhuo, you are not kind, take out the 15-year-old one quickly, and drink the best if you want!"
"Okay, okay, wait, I'm telling you, this bottle costs 30,000!"
Gao Bin knew that he was asking for a high price, but he was not the one spending the money, so he was not afraid at all, so he said with a smile:
"Even if you add a zero, we will definitely drink today."
"Hey? You are willing to spend money for me!" the congratulatory letter complained.
"Nonsense, there's nothing to feel bad about spending other people's money."
The congratulatory letter was criticized so much that I lost my temper.
After a while, Lao Zhuo's new waitress Luo Luo came up with two plates of sashimi:
"The freshest ones, Lao Zhuo asked me to give you the best parts."
"Lao Zhuo is very interesting! By the way, fry me a plate of tempura." Gao Bin said again.
"Okay, wait a moment."
At this time, Lao Zhuo absentmindedly took a bottle of wine and put it on the table:
"You guys have almost drank up all the good wine I have here."
"Don't be so stingy. I'll get you a 20-year-old bottle later."
Gao Bin originally said it casually, but Tang Jing suddenly broke the news:
"I remember you seemed to have hidden several boxes of 20-year-old Yushi."
Congratulations covering his forehead:
"If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're just afraid of..."
"What did you say?" Tang Jing said 'threateningly'.
"Nothing, nothing." The congratulatory letter sneered.
There are many whiskey brands in the small book. Gao Bin likes two the most, one is Baizhou and the other is Yoshi.
Yoichi is located in Hokkaido. Its founder, Taketsuru Masataka, was the first to learn whiskey distillation technology in Scotland. He was also the person who introduced whiskey production technology to Neon, and is known as the "Father of Neon Whiskey".
After Masataka Taketsuru returned to China, he has been looking for a suitable location to build a distillery in the north of Neon, because he believed that the climate and natural features in the north of Neon were very similar to those in Scotland.
Finally, he found a very suitable place in Yoichi Town, located at 43.2° north latitude.
This place is close to the sea and surrounded by mountains on three sides. In many ways, it is similar to the Scottish Highlands.
Cold climate, suitable humidity, fresh air and clear water are all the elements Masataka Taketsuru needs to ideally produce whiskey.
Therefore, in 1934, Taketsuru Masataka established Ikko's first distillery - Yoichi Distillery in Yoichi Town.
The four of them each poured a glass, but before they could drink it, they were stared at by He Han and Tang Jing again.
Needless to say, Gao Bin himself knew what to do this time.
Only Xiao Chen was confused, holding up the cup and not knowing whether to drink or put it down.
Tang Jing saw this and explained with a smile:
"You don't know yet? Your brother Bin is very knowledgeable about eating and drinking. It's very interesting to listen to him talk about small knowledge and then taste the fine wine and food."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized, Cong Gaobin smiled and said:
"Brother Bin is so awesome."
"The little beauty is so complimentary, why don't you tell me?"
Gao Bin thought for a while and then said:
"Actually, you should know as much about the brand Yoshi as I do, but there is a little story that is quite interesting.
At that time, due to the time required for whiskey aging, Masataka Taketsuru had no choice but to produce apple juice, which was fast-profiting, to maintain the company's operations when the company was founded, and named the company Dai Neon Juice Co., Ltd.
This theoretically feasible plan is difficult to implement in practice.
A year later, they sold the first batch of apple juice, but because the chaotic appearance of the juice itself disgusted consumers, most of the goods were returned to the factory.
Masataka Taketsuru immediately thought of distilling the returned juice and made it into apple brandy. He made good profits and overcame the difficulties in the early days of starting his business."
He Han nodded:
"I heard this story from a friend. Speaking of it, this Yoichi is the one that Zhuhe has devoted the most to and has been in charge of for the longest time.
When the Yoichi Distillery was first established, it was sparsely populated and a wetland covered with weeds. However, Taketsuru Masataka's eyes saw that this windswept wilderness was the ideal place for making whiskey.
The snow water flowing down from Yoichidake is very clear, and the nearby Ishikari Plain can dig out pebbles as fuel for the distillation process. The geographical environment is very suitable for brewing whiskey.
Two years later, the furnace of Yoichi Distillery was filled with coal, and the first step of making whiskey began.
Firepower control is difficult, the workload is large, and the efficiency is low. It completely relies on the skilled craftsmanship of technicians.
It is also the only and last distillery in the world that still insists on using the seemingly stupid charcoal direct-fired distillation.
Even in Scotland, by the 1970s, most distilleries had replaced coal direct heating with steam indirect heating.
But Mr. Taketsuru Masataka believes that heating with coals over direct fire is very important to create the distinctive and roasted whiskey in his mind.
Therefore, Yoichi Distillery still retains this ancient distillation method and is the only distillery in the world that still uses coal direct fire distillation.
The Yoichi whiskey produced using traditional methods is deep and powerful and difficult to replicate.
This charcoal flavor unique to traditional distillation has also become a unique feature of Yoichi single malt whiskey."
