Chapter 1108 Earl
Sofia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, walked into the wine cellar. The neatly arranged oak barrels on both sides of the passage made Chloe scream excitedly, and Sofia, who had never seen what a wine cellar looked like, couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"The winery has four large wine cellars and one small wine cellar that stores treasures. In 1992, because it was not able to be brewed, the current winery has less than 300,000 bottles of genuine Yigan Guifu wine in stock..."
The stern-faced Count Alexander shut up after briefly introducing the situation, which made Sophia, who noticed that he was in a bad mood, unable to help but ask Fu Zhengyi with her eyes, what was going on?
Fu Zhengyi shook his head slightly and asked Alexander to take to the small wine cellar with treasures to see.
"Mr. Fu, the Treasure Wine Cellar can only be opened when needed. If you are simply visiting, my suggestion will give up. The Treasure Wine Cellar requires a stable storage environment. Every time the Treasure Wine Cellar is opened, it means that the value of the Treasure Wine Cellar is reduced..."
“What are the vintages in the Treasure Cellar at present?”
"The oldest one is made in 1751, but it is hard to say whether it can be tasted. However, the three bottles were well preserved in 1787 and 1811, and each has a whole box. The set of wines from 1860 to the present should be able to make up four sets, but since the 19th century, there have been nine vintages that have not been made. The most recent one was in 1992, which was a disaster..."
When talking about the wine storage in the winery, Count Alexander began to introduce it endlessly. His pride, his pride, and his compliment were simply beyond words. It seemed that as long as it was related to Igan Guifu wine, he was very willing to introduce it. This made Fu Zhengyi listen carefully and realize that this count who seemed extremely difficult to get along with had become his instinct in his life.
Sophia, who was obsessed with listening, held Fu Zhengyi's hand after Count Alexander had finished the detailed introduction and said with a smile. "Yi, since the Count said so, then don't go to see the wine stored in the treasure wine cellar?"
"Don't you remember what I promised you?"
"Ah? What's the matter?"
"I said that as long as you want to, even if you want to swim in a swimming pool filled with Igan Guifu wine, I can definitely satisfy your wish!"
Sophia still remembered the joke before? She immediately said in surprise. "Yi! Such precious wine is poured into the swimming pool for me to swim? Are you kidding?"
"I didn't joke with you! As long as you really want, I will ask someone to prepare it for you immediately!"
"Yi! Don't do this, okay? You always make me so moved that I want to cry..."
"Mommy doesn't cry! Mommy doesn't cry!" Chloe ran over from the other end of the passage formed by the barrel, shouting, but he put his hands on his hips, and pointed at Fu Zhengyi with a 'vicious' look. "Papa! Don't bully Mommy! Otherwise I'm not polite..."
Sophia covered her mouth and laughed. Fu Zhengyi squatted down and asked, "What can you do?"
Chloe was stunned, stuffed his finger into his mouth with a look of embarrassment, and finally turned his face and turned his gaze for help to Sophia. "Mommy, how should I answer?"
"Oh! My baby! You are so cute, so cute, mommy loves you..."
Sofia couldn't help but hold Chloe in her arms, kissing and kissing, which made Chloe start to resist and soon ran away like a run.
Seeing that Sophia had no choice but to bet on her helpless eyes, Fu Zhengyi smiled and said, "Hey, the decision is given to you anyway. If you want to drink it, then let's open a bottle to taste it; if you want to swim in a swimming pool full of Igan wine, there is no problem!"
Seeing that he was still talking serious nonsense, Sophia couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled. "Yi! Stop joking! Wine is for drinking!"
"Then which year do you want to try?"
"I have only drank it once, I don't know which year is good..."
Seeing that Count Alexander standing beside him had black face as dark as the bottom of the pot, Fu Zhengyi shrugged and said, "It seems that he can only hand over this problem to Count Alexander. He must know which year of aged wine is the best!"
The warm interaction scene of the family of three made the Earl Alexander feel a little better, but Fu Zhengyi started to discuss pouring Igan wine into the swimming pool for the woman to swim, and his lungs were irritated. Seeing that he still remembered himself standing beside him, he snorted coldly before speaking. "As long as the Igan wine is kept properly, the longer the year, the higher the quality and the better the taste. My grandfather once tasted a bottle of aged for more than 300 years. He believed that the bottle of wine was the best sweet white wine in the world. So the best wine in the winery must be the one made in 1751, but if it was delivered to the auction, it would definitely break the current auction price record of sweet white wine..."
Sophia was curious. "Breaking the record? Count Alexander, how much do you think the aging in 1751 can cost?"
"At least 150,000 francs!"
Sofia exclaimed, “Wow! So expensive?”
Alexander said proudly. "If it was lower than this price, I would rather keep that bottle of wine in the cellar!"
Sophia felt the strong dissatisfaction of Count Alexander. She was a little surprised and couldn't help but turn her eyes to Fu Zhengyi.
After patting her shoulder to show comfort, Fu Zhengyi said to Earl Alexander. "Take us to the small wine cellar and take out this bottle of wine!"
"Mr. Fu, I need to remind you that every bottle of wine stored in the wine cellar is recorded, so it is natural that you can drink it. However, the fees involved will be entered into the winery's account and will be settled once a quarter..."
Fu Zhengyi smiled. "Do you think I can't afford to drink?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that," Count Alexander shook his head and continued to say with a stern face. "I just kindly reminded that all the wines in the small wine cellar are fine products. Even according to the internal financial verification method of the winery, you will have to pay at least 120,000 francs for the bottle of wine in 1751..."
"May I ask, are you drinking?"
Alexander was a little confused. "I am the manager here. I have to clearly grasp the maturity of any vintage Igan wine. A good bottle of Igan wine takes fifteen years or even twenty years to store it before it can be sold in the market. Tasting the quality of Igan wine is my responsibility as a winery manager..."
"Don't worry! I will pay as much as possible! Take us here to pick up the bar now..."
