Chapter 422 Foreign devils startled
At this time, Panlong Winery was ready to welcome these people. Gu Xingzhi and some professionals stood in the office of Panlong Winery. Through the window, the commuter car drove outside the winery door. Gu Xingzhi turned around and nodded to the people he recruited: "Today I am taking these people to visit the winery, but whether they hint or make an open request, they just can't give them a sip of wine, do you understand?"
"Chef Gu, you are going to be a hawk." A young man smiled slightly: "Full up the appetite of these guys, and then cooperate with your feast of the century tonight, so that they will never forget this life."
"That's right, that's what I mean." Gu Xingzhi said with a smile: "Okay, go and prepare, take these guys who grow their eyes on their foreheads, and see the world well with you who look down on our winery!"
The commuter car parked at the entrance of the winery, and Wu Ming got out with the group. Renault looked at Wu Ming and smiled quietly: "Gentlemen, this is the legendary Panlong Winery. Mr. Wu Ming is the boss here and my Renault's good friend. You are all elites in the industry, and you will have to give more opinions later."
Wu Ming nodded: "I have arranged dinner in Panlong Villa. Now the VIP Banquet Hall in Panlong Villa is waiting for you to return. Please take this time to help me take a good look. If there are any shortcomings, I must correct them."
These people were still giving face and smiled at Wu Ming, but anyone could see that these people had a look of pride on their faces. In their opinion, Wu Ming was a local rich man, and he was a little money like a winery playing in a winery. But what is a winery? Can the winery be built with money? The winery is based on the foundation and culture, which is probably not possible in the country of the Celestial Empire.
Wu Ming didn't say much, so he asked someone to take them in. At this time, some young people under Gu Xingzhi came over. Wu Ming said: "We are arranging an open tour for you, not like a tour group. Each of you has your own professional consultant. They will take you to the entire winery. If you are interested, I even welcome you to my office. I have prepared the best tea and invite you to taste tea together."
Wu Ming was very treacherous and never mentioned asking them to taste wine, but these people didn't seem to care much. Renault had taken Wu Ming's Panlongjue to visit several of them, but the only thing these people have in common is jealousy and arrogance. They didn't believe that there could be any good wine for them to taste in the Celestial Empire, so after learning about Renault's purpose, they basically chose to avoid it.
This is also the reason why Renault gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and simply formed a tour group for these people and took them to the Celestial Empire to "see the world".
The group of people had a separate meal, and each of them had a professional brewer or wine taster accompanying them. Soon, someone gave these people the first surprise.
These people now, in this inconspicuous winery, all the brewing talents have been studying abroad. Most of them come from the best light industry universities in China, the brewing majors of Agriculture and Forestry University, and they also have the energy to study in Europe. Some of them even have a lot of connections with these people.
You should know that the cost of cultivating such talents is not low. Any winery in China that can be named will basically invite one or two such talents to serve as the storefront. However, Wu Ming's Panlong Winery has invited so many people at once. Just because of this talent lineup, these people have begun to look forward to Wu Ming's three wines.
However, although these "tour guides" were very polite and never treated them politely, they never mentioned the invitation to them to taste wine, but just took them to visit the winery.
When they visited the wine warehouse, these people soon received a second shock. A careful person revealed that the barrels used by Wu Mingcun wine were actually oak barrels from Gravi.
Generally speaking, it is an international practice for wineries to use oak barrels for storage of wine, because oak contains a large amount of ellagic acid, vanillin and other substances, which can help the fermentation of wine. However, using the word help is actually a bit weakening the role of oak barrels in the brewing process of wine. To be more precise, this effect is the finishing touch.
Therefore, the strict selection of brewing technology and winemaking materials can only be used as one of the criteria for judging the quality of the winery. If you want to become a world-class winery, you must also work hard on the wine barrel.
However, the barrels themselves are divided into different levels. Now the price of oak itself is rising all the way. There are actually not many real good barrels. Gravi oak barrels are produced in Eastern Europe. Due to the current conflicts within the EU, there are trade barriers between the wine-producing countries in Western Europe and the origin of the barrels. Therefore, it is already very difficult for them to find some Gravi wine barrels as storage devices for some high-end fine wines. But unexpectedly, Wu Ming and others all use this kind of barrel. You must know that this kind of barrel can be regarded as the king of wine barrels.
Seeing this scene, someone started to be moved, but the people next to him never mentioned asking them to try these wines. Some wineworms have become a little itchy.
Later, someone took them to visit the brewing department. At this time, the tour guides started talking because these are their essential professions. From their conversation, we can see that these people have very high professional qualities. Imagine that the wine brewed by such people will definitely not be bad.
Well, we admit that we underestimate Wu Ming, but there should be some gap when he wants to become a world-class winery. After all, Wu Ming’s winery has only been in just a few months since its establishment.
Such an idea has become the voice of most people in this tour group. Self-esteem drives them to hold on to the Panlong Winery, which refuses to recognize Wu Ming, and has left their winery behind.
The last project was to take them to visit the grape plantation. When these industry elites came to the vineyard, someone finally couldn't help but feel excited, forgot the reserve he deserved, and shouted: "My God, what is this place? Is it the Garden of Eden? How could there be such a perfect plantation in this world!'
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "This is not the Garden of Eden, it is the Panlong Mountain grape plantation in our Tian Dynasty. Please visit it casually. If there is something wrong with what I did, I must give you more advice."
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he turned around and left, without giving these guys a chance to talk to him. After leaving, Wu Ming walked through a staircase to the upper floor of the brewing workshop, and looked through the glass window at the foreigners who were visiting in surprise below.
"Hmph, they thought they were here to guide you as an outsider." Gu Xingzhi said: "I don't know if they are Liu Laolao who entered the Grand View Garden. From just now, these guys' mouths have never been closed."
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Don't worry, these guys' appetites have been lifted up, and we will be able to give them a fatal blow immediately. By the way, Chef Gu, how are you preparing for the dinner?"
"I have already told people to do it. I have made the previous preparations myself." Gu Xingzhi said: "At dinner, I will go to the kitchen and make the freshest and most delicious dishes on site. This time it is not for you or for myself, but for our heavenly dynasty."
As the sky was getting late, many staff from Wuming Winery took these foreigners back to the door of the commuter car outside: "Everyone, we are not far away to send it. Mr. Wu has already given you a wonderful and sumptuous dinner at Panlong Villa. Please enjoy it."
These foreigners were all a little disappointed and visited such a winery, but they had no chance to taste what the winery looked like. Some people began to regret why they had to hide from Renault. You should know that Renault respectfully brought several bottles of wine here to place his own. Oh my God, how stupid he was at that time.
When the commuter car drove back to the villa, a waiter took the group back to the banquet hall. Gu Xingzhi had already returned to the kitchen at this time and began to put on the chef's clothes to prepare today's dinner for the group.
Pre-dinner aperitifs are some famous foreign wines, and are basically the products of first-tier wineries in their country. However, these wines that are often regarded as treasures by these people, at this time they are a little tasteless. They are all fantasizing about Wu Ming’s Panlong Drunk, what does the taste of the green trees and spring snow in their hearts?
Soon, the dinner began. As the host, Wu Ming raised his glass and said some vulgar opening remarks. Everyone raised their glasses and began to taste Gu Xingzhi's appetizer.
Seeing that the third dish had already been served, someone came to the front with a few bottles and poured wine to everyone present. Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Everyone, this dish was personally instructed by Chef Gu. You must drink this wine while eating it so that the two can complement each other. Please."
Gu Xingzhi's reputation is absolutely unquestionable, because Gu Xingzhi had long been recognized by these people by competing for the three-star Michelin chefs. In addition, Gu Xingzhi defeated the three popular Michelin chefs one against three, and now he has become a mythical existence in the world's cooking art world. Therefore, these people feel that their hearts, which were a little hurt because they did not drink Panlong's drunkenness, finally got some comfort.
When these people ate a few bites of the dishes and turned to look at the wine glass lazily, they were suddenly attracted by a strange smell of wine. Many people's hearts began to thump and beat, and they couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and taste it.
"My God!" A foreigner excitedly dropped the tableware in his hand on the ground: "This is..."
Wu Ming nodded with a smile: "This is Pan Longzui. You come to me. If I don't invite you to taste my wine, it wouldn't be too rude. It's just a pity that Pan Longzui seems to be inequality compared to your wine."
"No, no, no, this wine..." The foreigner was so excited that he almost couldn't speak: "If I had to choose between the best red wine in Moutong winery and this glass of wine, I would definitely choose this glass of wine without hesitation."
This time, Wu Ming deliberately did not use a goblet or a crystal cup, but used a fine porcelain wine glass with a strong Chinese style, in order to remind these guys that although my winery is going to your market now, it is definitely not a Chinese or Western thing in a foreign coat. In addition to white wine, wine itself is also one of the wines of our Celestial Empire. But everyone’s paths are different. I want you to know that my wine is definitely not worse than yours!
After playing with these characters for a while, someone started serving the dishes. At this time, the wine served was Bishu.
Wu Ming said: "Since Pan Longzui can satisfy you, why not continue to taste it and see how this green tree tastes like?"
Everyone was excited again. When the taste was finished, a burst of thunderous applause suddenly erupted at the scene.
That's right, no one said a word, but after everyone finished tasting, they silently put down their wine glasses. Their words could no longer express their admiration for Wu Ming, so they could only shut their mouths and slap their own palms frantically.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Wu Ming said with a smile: "Okay, the third wine, Chunxue, drink!"
Chapter completed!
