When the competition officially started, this beautiful ancient castle was enveloped in the strong aroma of wine. Even the Loire River seemed to be solidified by the aroma of wine. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water, swaying in the air, and then

Then he fell back into the water with a 'plop', like a drunken man.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of public judges came down the river by boat, jumped ashore one by one, and walked to each exhibition hall in groups. Although these guys all wanted to go directly into the castle to taste those second-level wines.

According to the competition schedule, they must taste the wines from these third-level wineries outside the castle in the morning two days before the competition. This made some of them frown. They felt that such a rule was too inhumane.

melted.

They are all experts or semi-experts. Some are low-level winemakers, some are bartenders in bars or restaurants, and some are colleagues of Amery. They are all editors and reporters in charge of the food section; among them there are even the most famous drunkards, such as

Mr. Tang De, who once failed in his business due to alcoholism, this guy with one-fifth of Chinese descent was once a billionaire, but because he was addicted to alcohol and ignored his business, he eventually became the top bartender of the Royal Restaurant in Paris, that is,

A figure known as "Dr. Liquor" among Chinese people became a colleague of Master Louis...

Tang De felt that being a public judge was quite hard. He had obviously seen a lot of good wines, but he still had to taste the rubbish brewed by third-level wineries according to the competition system... He was even a little worried.

Doing this will reduce his professionalism. What makes him particularly troubled is that Pinjipinba also stipulates that each booth must taste at least one glass of wine, and there is no limit to more... No limit to you angel.

?I will vomit if I drink too much!

But if he doesn't follow the instructions, his qualification as a judge will be revoked. Tang De is reluctant to give up this opportunity. Now he is no longer a billionaire. If he wants to drink those top-notch wines, he can only rely on his status as a judge. It's really hard~

Damn it, gentlemen of the organizing committee. I wish you can only drink the worst 'daily wine' in your life!

Tang De thought this was the most vicious curse, ten thousand times more vicious than the old witch's 'spindle curse'. After issuing this curse, he felt much better. So he wandered to the booth of a foreign brand.

Oh, is it a Chinese brand with square characters? Tang De felt a little better. As a senior alcoholic and a Frenchman with one-fifth of Chinese ancestry, he naturally had some understanding of Chinese liquor, although he felt it was not as good as

The top French red wine has a unique flavor. Besides, it can come to France to participate in the competition, so it shouldn't be much different, right? At least it is much more reliable than the rubbish from third-level wineries.

After tasting the liquor handed over by a Chinese girl, Tang De nodded. The brand name of this liquor is 'Lanling'. It's not bad, and the taste is very pure. In the end, he was not disappointed, but unfortunately it was not enough to impress him.

He cast a valuable vote. After leaving the China booth, Tang De walked to the island country booth again, but he vomited after only one sip. Sake? This is water, right! Damn, you kid is not kind, so he took it with you

It’s just a wine mixed with water to cheat money, but you actually dare to come here to participate in the competition? Do you really think that there is no one in Lanxi! There is no need to drink the wine from Bangzi, they are probably the same as the islanders...

....

There are many senior drinkers who are as disappointed as Tang De. These picky guys walk around in front of the booth of Idle Manor, but few people are willing to stop and taste it. It’s no wonder that they only need to take a look at the wine and smell it casually. If you smell it, you know that what Old Sean is displaying is just some third-rate regional table wine. It is enough to gargle with it. As for drinking it, then haha...

Tang De and the others were very envious of the specially invited judges. They could taste whatever they wanted without being restricted by any rules. Unlike hard-working people like myself, even if they didn't taste it today, they would still have to deal with these inferior wines tomorrow. Forget it. Let’s put the nightmare to the end, and frown and take a few sips of the ball tomorrow!

Compared with some old third-level strong wineries and wines from China, island countries, and Bangzi countries, the wines of Xianren Manor are really not on the market, but what makes Old Sean the most angry is the inaction of He Wenxiu and Yuan Xuan. After all, there are some decent food, paired with not too bad wine, and if you are lucky, you can still get a few votes, but these two guys made some messy white lotus root and green vegetables, which shows a lack of sincerity at first glance. Not to mention adding points to the manor, it’s good if it doesn’t deduct points!

"Zhou, what on earth are you planning..."

After taking a look at Zhou Yi, who had just walked out of the temporary warehouse provided by the organizing committee, Old Sean couldn't calm down anymore. The face of Xianren Manor had been lost to Corsica, but the real owner of the manor seemed not to be in a hurry at all. You actually lead a girly kid to walk a pig? You just walk a pig, and you actually go to other people's booths to taste other people's wine? Yes, the organizing committee does not prohibit the contestants from communicating with each other, and even I want encouragement, but this is a competition after all. His own booth was deserted, but he went to help others to boost his popularity. Was Huaxia Zhou's head hit by a calf from the Pyrenees?

Unable to wait any longer, Old Sean called out to David, and the two of them threw themselves in front of Zhou Yi with smoke and fire, only to hear that he was still communicating with his competitors: "Not bad, not bad, good wine! Hmm... ..Is this quality obviously reaching the level of fine regional table wine? What grapes did you use, the improved Cabernet Sauvignon? Well, the improvement is good, you have an idea!"

"You're from Shandong Province? Lanling is a good wine. Haha, I'm also from China. Come over here to play..." This conversation was in Chinese, and Old Sean and David couldn't understand it at all. .Actually, there is no need to understand. David admired Zhou Yi so much that he naturally did not dare to question his idol. However, Old Sean was almost furious. He jumped in front of Zhou Yi and shouted: "Zhou! Are you shopping? ?Oh my God! Please go see our booth and see how those picky guys treat us. It’s like they’re watching a joke!”

"Didn't there already be two votes?"

Zhou Yi smiled bitterly. He was not God. In order to improve the precious second-level wine produced by David and others, he put in five barrels of 'Green Cuisine' and made some mistakes in his judgment. He originally planned the day of the competition. It can be used, but it turned out yesterday that these wines still need to be fermented in new oak barrels for a period of time to reach perfection. Of course, it is not impossible to do it quickly, but it will consume a lot of internal air, which is not worth it. .

"Oh my god, Zhou, don't you know that those two votes were given by Tang and the others, and they were completely friendship votes. Our real number of votes is zero. It's zero!" Old Sean was as excited as a cat in heat. , it’s just that I didn’t scream “meow meow” around Zhou Yi.

"Mr. Sean, didn't I just say that the improved wine must be placed in oak barrels for...eighteen hours to achieve perfection. If you really can't wait, take it out now You can use it, but it will destroy the quality of the wine. If you don’t get a good ranking because of this, don’t blame me..."

Zhou Yi shrugged.

"Are you really sure?" Old Sean hesitated: "The good ranking you mentioned Zhou is..."

"Well... there are nearly thirty first-class wineries participating this time. After all, I have never drank their wine. This question is difficult for me to answer..."

Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed. He felt that he should be more conservative and not give the old man too much hope. He thought for a while and said: "But there is no problem in entering the top ten."

"What!"

Old Sean came directly to a dry land to pull onions, and he jumped up to a height of more than four feet. Zhou Yi was startled; Liu Catkin and Xiao Yezi were stunned for a while, and Jin Yangyang's eyes were blurred, looking up and down at the old man.

“Top ten? You mean including those first-class wineries!”

"That's right!"

Zhou Yi quickly replied, "You can't do it if you don't do it quickly." Old Sean's eyes widened. Zhou Yi found it difficult to understand. Isn't it just the top ten? As for being so excited? My buddy originally wanted to say the top three...

"David, David, did you hear that?"

Old Sean looked at Zhou Yi, at the weird-looking golden pig, at the curvy catkins with tall breasts, and at the still-growing little loli. He felt that he couldn't do anything, so he turned around. He picked up David and laughed wildly: "Hua Xia Zhou said it was the top ten, the top ten!"

Before the competition, his expectations were as high as the sky, but after seeing the list of participating wineries, his expectations had already dropped. He originally thought that he could win these second- and third-level wineries in the first two days of the competition. The top ten in the list is considered to have completed the task. In the future, with Hua Xia Zhou and his magical tools, Xianren Manor can definitely rely on the increase in sales to become a second-class winery, and it will take another three to five years to become a first-class winery. Zhuang is also very likely.

But Zhou Yi opened his mouth to be in the top ten! And it was the real top ten including those first-class wineries! Old Sean is a devout Christian, and he now fully believes that Zhou Yi must be God Sent to save Mary... No, it was the angel who saved the Idle Manor. The chicken touched him...

"Zhou, those islanders walked towards our booth, what are they going to do?"

Catkins and Ye Zi were not used to the strong smell of alcohol here. Zhou Yi was about to take them to the accommodation provided by the organizing committee to rest, but was stopped by David who had just landed on his feet. Looking up, he saw people walking out of the island country booth. Several people were heading towards the exhibition stand of Xianren Manor.

"Asshole! They must be looking for trouble..."

Old Sean sneered. According to the rules of the competition, in the first two days of the competition, wineries can challenge each other. The way of challenge is a wine fight. The winning party can not only take away the other party's votes, but also occupy the other party's votes. of venue.

The site location of Xianren Manor is relatively good and has made many wineries jealous. However, few wineries will challenge their opponents unless they have a last resort or have long-standing hatred, because if they fail, they will withdraw from the competition and there will be no chance.

.

However, these people from the island nation came with bad intentions. Not only did they come with several people, but they also brought several barrels of wine. This was obviously not for friendly exchanges.
Chapter completed!
