351 Is There Such a Delicacy in the World?
And because of the large temperature difference between day and night, the grapes here grow slowly, the sunshine hours are longer, and the fructose content produced in the fruit is higher, so the grapes produced here are generally of higher quality.
In addition, the grapes here are not the kind of fruits that are bought on the market, so there are no bulking agents, ripening agents, and anti-disease and insect medicines, and they dare not fight indiscriminately, and they need to be manually caught by insects and carefully served.
So during this time, the winery hired a lot of people, looking at the fruit farmers who went in and out, pruning and supporting seedlings, and catching insects, Helen thought to herself, this winery looks quite formal.
Their family is also a family of red wine brewers, and she can see the quality of a winery at a glance, and she can see the attitude of the workers in this winery, as well as the meticulous efforts of the people to serve the crops, which means that the wine produced here is not bad.
Attitude is the key to making good wine, and on the other hand, it depends on the quality of the grapes.
Not only the grapes are carefully served, but also the kumquat trees planted on the hillside are also carefully served, and the drip irrigation technology is constantly sprinkled, and pesticides are not sprayed indiscriminately, and a large number of manual labor is used, which shows that the manager of the winery is very serious.
All that's left is how they make that unique and layered wine, which is certainly the winery's secret sauce.
There must be some innovation in the process, but these Helen are not good to ask Han Chengguo directly, after all, these are people's unique skills, she is afraid that if one is not good, it will cause Han Chengguo's unhappiness.
If Han Chengguo told Xiao Feng about her secret inquiry, I am afraid it would leave a very bad impression on Xiao Feng.
After all, such a secret, but the good things that anyone cherishes with a broom generally do not easily reveal to others, and even someone will be taboo if they ask.
However, you can not inquire about the secret of brewing, but you can still inquire about some other things.
"Mr. Han, I heard some time ago that there are several very special high-end red wines and fruit wines that are suddenly on the market in Europe. It is said that the taste is very novel, and it has attracted the attention of consumers as soon as it was launched. Now it has become the designated wine for many high-end banquets in Europe, and the wine is still very expensive, and now it seems that it has been fried to the point of hundreds or even thousands of euros a bottle on the market, but even so, it is still sought after by dignitaries. It seems that these wines are from China, and the only distributor in Europe is the French Saint-Road Group, I don't know if you know this?"
As one of the most famous public relations agencies in the West China Sea region of the United States, Helen's family has of course been paying attention to the movements of her peers, not only in the United States, but also in Europe.
In the past, they often heard from their customers that in recent times, in Europe, especially in France, there has been a sudden explosion of fine wine.
And those wines are very similar in taste to the Chinese wines that their family has recently launched, and they are said to be products from China.
In recent days, among their customers, there are just a few of them who have close business contacts with the French side, and one of them has attended a high-end banquet in France, and has been thinking about those fine wines since they came back.
I was looking for those wines in the United States area, and I originally thought that the United States was the number one power in the world, and there should be all kinds of good things in the world, but I searched all over the east coast of the United States and did not find those few fine wines that I had tasted in France, which made the customer very disappointed.
It wasn't until he came to a banquet on the West Coast of the United States that he tasted the limited edition of Helen's wines, and that person suddenly realized that this was not the wine he had been looking for.
As a result, it was only after he came to the door that Helen and her mother really confirmed that Xiao Feng's wines had been sold to Europe and had opened up the high-end market in Europe, which made Helen and her mother nervous.
Otherwise, Helen must have been recuperating at home at this time, how could she rush to Huaguo in such a hurry.
However, although the man and Helen and his mother swore that in France, he did drink exactly the same wine that Helen and the others offered, Helen was still not sure if the wine was sold by Xiao Feng.
So at this time, she deliberately spied from Han Chengguo, but she didn't expect Han Chengguo to be stunned when she heard it.
In fact, after Xiao Feng accepted the winery, although he was retained by Xiao Feng, his main daily work is mainly to maintain the normal operation of the winery, daily management, vineyard management, picking, wine brewing, etc., and now the management of the hotel.
As for the operation of the winery and the sales of wine, he really didn't participate much, and Xiao Feng personally checked it.
As for the sales of red wine and kumquat wine produced by the winery, Xiao Feng never asked him to ask, so at this time, Helen asked him to spy on the situation, and he was really dark-eyed, and he didn't know how to tell Helen.
He didn't know what kind of high-end drinks conquered the French high society, but he knew that Xiao Feng had indeed entertained a Frenchman here before, and that Frenchman seemed to be really from the Shenglu Group.
Thinking about this woman, it seemed that she was sleeping in the same room with Xiao Feng yesterday, and he felt that there was nothing to hide: "Well, Miss Helen, I don't know if the wine sold to France was made by Mr. Xiao." But a few days ago, Mr. Xiao did entertain a Frenchman here, who seemed to be named Pierre. ”
Although the information Han Chengguo said was a little vague, he was basically sure that the high-end red wines and kumquat wines that are currently famous in France and even the upper class in Europe should definitely be shot by Xiao Feng.
As soon as she thought of this, Helen didn't have the heart to continue shopping, and went back to the hotel room directly, and waited until after two o'clock in the afternoon before Xiao Feng came back from outside.
Helen immediately rushed out of the room, and when she met Xiao Feng, he was having lunch in the large office suite on the top floor, a roast leg of lamb carefully prepared by the hotel's chef.
Seeing Helen come in, Xiao Feng asked her with a smile, "Have you eaten at noon?"
Helen then remembered that she really hadn't eaten at noon, and she was not polite, so she sat directly in front of Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng picked up the knife, cut a large piece from the leg of lamb, put it on the plate in front of Helen, and then cut a piece for himself.
Helen picked up the knife and fork and just wanted to eat it, Xiao Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, snapped his fingers, and then turned around and took out two boxes of canned food from the drawer under the desk, and opened them in front of Helen.
As soon as the can was opened, Helen felt a strange fragrance come to her face, and her eyes suddenly lit up when the can was black and shiny with oily roe.
Her mother has opened a public relations company, specializing in hosting all kinds of high-end weddings, parties, and organizing all kinds of high-end banquets, for 20 years.
As soon as she looked at the contents of this can, she knew that it was caviar, which she had often eaten and had never eaten less, but she had never eaten something as fragrant as today.
The caviar she had eaten before, no matter how expensive it was, did not have such a strange fragrance after opening the can, but sometimes she could smell a pungent fishy smell.
Those canned caviar from Persia and Russia, she remembers her mother telling her that only the best sturgeon produced in the Caspian Sea can produce the best caviar, and after three or four hundred kilograms of sturgeon are caught, they are generally slaughtered on the spot, and the roe is immediately put into the can, and the craftsmen will put salt in the caviar canned food according to the grade and quality of the caviar, and nothing else will be added.
And today she actually saw the roe processed in a different way, like the meat of the fish soaked in oil in a can of tuna, and the roe in this can was soaked in a strange oil.
This is a treatment process she has never seen before, doesn't this oil spoil the taste of caviar?
Helen was very puzzled, at this time Xiao Feng smiled and handed her a wooden spoon, she took it and looked at Xiao Feng in a bit of confusion, but saw Xiao Feng holding the wooden spoon, digging a spoonful in the can, and then putting it in her mouth, closing her eyes and starting to chew.
Helen hurriedly did the same, but when the roe was sent into her mouth, and then she put her tongue on the upper teeth, crushed them one by one, and cracked, her expression was stunned.
What kind of fairy food is this? The sweetness of the mouth after the roe bursts, mixed with the mellow brought by the strange oil wrapped around the roe, the two wonderful flavors are blended together, producing a wonderful taste that she has never experienced before, sweet, mellow, soft, fragrant...
Is there such a delicious thing in the world? Helen felt that the caviar she had eaten before was rubbish compared to the one in front of her!
Seeing Helen with her eyes closed and tasting the caviar, Xiao Feng smiled and opened another bottle of kumquat wine and gave Helen a glass.
"This caviar is to be eaten with my kumquat wine, and it is delicious to eat together. ”
Helen only then woke up from that delicacy, opened her eyes, and watched Xiao Feng raise her wine glass, and she also raised her wine glass, took a sip, and ate a bite of caviar.
The sweetness of the kumquat wine still in the mouth, coupled with the mellow aroma of the caviar, hits the flavor intertwined and mixed, well, this taste is really amazing.
Helen, who has eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, feels that the delicacies she has eaten before are all nonsense, and in front of this combination of kumquat wine and caviar, the delicacies she has eaten before are all rubbish.
These are the real delicacies of the world!, she looked down at the caviar in front of her, spoonful after spoonful, and quickly ate up the box of canned food.
