Chapter 2 Old Gothic Winery
New book request collection, recommendation support, thank you!
---------------------------------
There are not many pedestrians on Tianhuo Avenue because it requires qualifications to come here, not only money, but also taste.
Only if all seventeen assessment projects are passed can you obtain the Tianhuo Badge. Of course, you have to pay the money. The name is: Tianhuo Avenue Public Maintenance Fund.
Lan Jue walked out of Zeus and smiled faintly again on his face. What happened in the store did not seem to affect his mood.
Walking across to the Tianhuo Avenue, opposite is a Gothic building from ancient France in the Shangyuan period.
The spire is towering, pointed arches, large windows and flowered windows painted with biblical stories. The pointed rib vaults, flying buttresses, and slender columns create a light and slender sense of flying. The frame structure gives full support to the top, making the entire building famous for its helicopter lines, majestic appearance, and spacious space.
Compared with Lanjue's Zeus Jewelry Store, this Gothic building is like a giant, and it is even the most eye-catching highlight on the entire Sky Fire Avenue.
Pushing the door and Lan Jue touched the stubble on his face, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was about to be criticized by that rigorous guy again.
"You are here for Jewelry." A tall and beautiful girl with long blond hair and wearing an ancient French court dress came up and performed a standard French etiquette towards Lan Jue.
Lan Jue nodded slightly to her and said, "Hello Eva, are you here?"
Eva smiled and only showed eight white teeth, "At that time, the foodie and the barista are there."
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Jue's eyes, "It's great that the foodie is here too."
Eva smiled and said, "I'll take you there."
There were several people sitting at a luxurious French court table that could accommodate twenty people to eat at the same time. On the main seat was an old man who looked fifty or sixty years old. He was wearing a sophisticated French dress, a wig with a headband, sitting upright and elegant, and his facial expression was serious.
On the side of the long table, there were two people sitting, one with a long figure, a white shirt, a black vest, and a short hair that looked very energetic. She was about forty years old and had a soft smile on her face.
The other person is about 35 years old, with a medium figure, a white suit, and a meticulous combed blonde hair, drooping from both sides of the temples to the shoulders, which is eye-catching. His eyebrows are very thick and his eyes are very big, but the smile in his eyes is not rigorous, with a bit of bad smell.
On the other side of the long table were three people, an old man, a middle-aged man and a young man.
Compared to the three people on the main position and the other side, their emotions seemed a little cramped.
"Hey, is it time for the assessment again today?" Lan Jue led the girl Eva to the long table. He pulled the chair next to the man in a white suit and sat down.
"Jewelry, you didn't shave and take care of your hair." The old man on the main seat frowned.
Lan Jue patted his forehead, "I knew you would say. OK, I was wrong. Although I just wanted to show a little bit of vicissitudes and narrow the gap with you elderly people."
The taster said coldly: "If you make mistakes, you will be punished. You know our rules."
The man in a white suit sitting next to Lan Jue nodded and said coolly: "Support."
Lan Jue glanced at him, then looked at the taster and said, "What should I eat tonight?"
The man in the white suit twitched a little, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The taster also smiled, "I'll talk about what to eat later. Since you are wrong, please interview these people. You are better at this than me."
Lan Jue shook his head, "No, this will consume my brain."
Entering Tianhuo Avenue one of the seventeen qualification examinations, wine.
The wine tasting said: "If the results of the interview satisfy me, I will invite you tonight's wine."
"Okay." Lan Jue said.
The man in the white suit curled his lips, "You can't be more reserved?"
Lan Jue said lightly: "Then don't drink it."
The middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the man in a white suit spoke for the first time, saying, "Support."
The man in the white suit said dissatisfiedly: "Gourmet, why are you always looking at him?"
Foodie said: "Because he has taster than you."
The wine taster on the main seat also nodded, "Yes."
At this time, Lan Jue turned his gaze to the opposite side, "Three, let's start. First." For him, he would never wait for him to have the opportunity to taste good wine.
The expression of the old man sitting opposite him immediately became serious, "Would you like to ask."
Lan Jue said: "This is the Gothic winery. Do you know where the wine here comes from?"
The old man obviously had already made preparations and immediately replied: "The Goth Old Wine House was one of the first merchants in Tianhuo City after the development of Tianma. It is famous for selling fine wines from various countries in the Shangyuan era. These fine wines are preserved through space technology and are basically in the state of Shangyuan 2020. Its most precious feature is that every bottle you drink, one bottle will be less. Therefore, it is of high value, but taste of these fine wines is a symbol of true aristocracy."
Lan Jue continued to ask without comment: "What is your favorite red wine?"
The old man seemed to have said it smoothly, "Lafite Castle. The left bank of the Bordeaux-producing region of ancient France in the Shangyuan period, one of the five first-class villages in the 1855th year of the Meadows."
Lan Jue said: "If seven of us drank a bottle of Lafite together today, you are the master, what would you do? It should be detailed."
The old man said, "I will carefully open it, pour it out first, look at its color, smell its fragrance, and then try the wine. Make sure it is not broken, and then give it to you to taste this bottle of wine together."
"You can leave now." Lan Jue leaned against the back of the chair and said lightly.
"I've passed?" the old man said with a look of surprise.
Lan Jue shook his head, "No, you were eliminated."
The old man said in surprise: "Why? I didn't say anything wrong?"
Lan Jue frowned and said, "You are just memorizing information, not really like to drink, and you won't drink it either. If you drink it according to your way of drinking, it will only be a waste of resources."
"No matter what year of Lafite is, it is placed horizontally when stored. Before drinking, you must first stand it up and leave it in the cellar for three days to complete the precipitation. When opening it, you must try the wine first, but it is not just to try the good or bad. You must also determine its state by tasting its taste. Sobering up is one of the most important steps when tasting red wine. A bottle of Lafite in normal state should be poured into a decanter for at least two hours. Otherwise, it will not be much better than vinegar. It takes time to release its fragrance. You don't even know this, obviously you won't drink, or even have good red wine. So, don't waste my time."
The old man said unwillingly: "But, this is what the books are written."
Lan Jue curled his lips, "The people who write about Lafite in the book have never tasted it, so they take it for granted. The saying that they drink Lafite when they open the bottle is an insult to it. It is better to pour it into a humidifier than to drink it like that."
