Chapter 1349: Show off your skills and shake the audience!(Happy New Year, thank you for the huge chapter!)
Bai Xiaosheng wants to compete with Master Owen here?
When the guests heard the news, everyone was shocked.
Then, the audience boiled.
"Oh my God, is that young man Asian or Asian, is this going to challenge Master Owen?"
"Master Owen, that's one of the five recognized masters of the Wine Industry Association!"
"Although the master craftsman is only an honorary title, not a rating, it is the pinnacle of real fighting!"
"Whether it's mixology, winemaking, or wine tasting, Master Owen is all proficient, and he is also an all-round master!"
"I remember that in the Gix World Records, Master Owen was the record holder of many times!"
The guests were enthusiastic about it, and they all praised Owen's ability.
The implication is that this young man with an Asian face is challenging an authority.
What an immeasurable act!
Of course, there are many people who have a different view.
"This young man is the original creator of 'Encounter' wine, and 'Encounter' is now the most favored thing in aristocratic circles, limited in supply, and extremely expensive!"
"Didn't you hear? Just now, even Alan White and even Miss Mo Xin recognized him, and even on this occasion, he said in public that his talent was above them!"
"This young man looks calm and relaxed, even if he has no fear in the face of Master Owen, he must not be an ordinary person!"
"In this competition, I don't think there will be a situation where Master Owen will be crushed!"
The guests were divided into two factions, and the two sides supported each other, and the enthusiasm of everyone was greatly mobilized under the collision of views.
Obviously, though, there are a lot more people who support Master Owen.
Bai Xiaosheng won the supporters because of Allen and Mo Xin, and compared with the other party, it was only twenty-eight.
Antonio, who was on the side, was also deeply surprised after hearing the bet between Master Owen and Bai Xiaosheng.
But then, a smile welled on his face.
This competition was held at the Ferro Winery, so if he Antonio didn't spend a penny, he would have a lot of profits.
If Master Owen suppresses the other party and obtains the "Encounter" formula, he can immediately offer cooperation.
Master Owen is now developing a new wine and getting the recipe, how can he not be itchy for a while, make a mixture, and innovate the recipe.
That Ferro winery can be regarded as a follow-up new wine, the first place!
Whether it is fame or income, he will reap a lot of money here.
Conversely, if this young man really wins over Master Owen......
Antonio's heart inexplicably rose with a fiery meaning.
The news itself is enough to make Ferro Winery famous and become an existence in the first tier of major wineries!
No matter how you look at it, Tafero Winery has benefited immensely!
So when Master Owen turned to Antonio and asked him to prepare something, Antonio said yes.
"Young man, I heard Alan tell Mo Xin that you are very good at bartending, winemaking, and wine tasting, so I will try to compete with you in each of these three aspects. I believe that fighting with me will also benefit you a lot. Master Owen said proudly to Bai Xiaosheng.
It's just a gesture of support.
"What kind of master is this so arrogant, it's not comparable to Master Song Kai!" Lin Weiwei couldn't help but whisper to Lei Ying, "Others say that he is an all-round master, so he will take out all the things he knows to gamble? Besides, if a master craftsman really wants to mention others, let others choose their own fields to fight. I think he is simply too focused on winning and losing. Also, the suspicion of wanting to show off what you have learned in public!"
Lin Weiwei has no good impression of this Owen master.
"Everyone has their own pride. Lei Ying responded lightly, as if he felt that this scene was normal.
But then, Lei Ying added, "Do you think you can win what you are good at?
These words were given by Lei Ying to Master Owen.
Lin Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.
In her opinion, what master is not a master, if Bai Xiaosheng is willing, it is not uncommon to knead a master!
She is to Bai Xiaosheng, and she has this kind of confidence.
"You juniors, come and testify. Master Owen turned his head to Mo Xin, Mirose, Allen, Feng Moyu, and Feng Moyan.
Among these five people, in the eyes of others, all three of them have supported Bai Xiaosheng, which seems to be a great benefit to Bai Xiaosheng.
However, Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan are 100% supportive of Master Owen.
And Allen changed his words, calling Master Owen "teacher", saying that he was biased, and he would not be biased towards Bai Xiaosheng.
Mirose also had to weigh up, and now their family could afford to offend a master craftsman from the Wine Industry Association.
In this way, Bai Xiaosheng's supporters are only Mo Xin.
And Mo Xin is a person, Master Owen knows a lot.
Like Allen, she will never be biased in her judgments, and she will not lose her conscience.
"I don't know about this master's attainments in fine wine, but I can see it if I am scheming and calculating!" Bai Xiaosheng has been practicing for all these years, how can he not see this, he suddenly couldn't help but smile secretly, and said in his heart, "I think this master has entered the wrong industry, and it is simply condescending to not enter the business road!"
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng was just joking in his heart, and he didn't show any emotion on the surface.
Mirose, Allen, Feng Moyu, and Feng Moyan were "hand-picked" as witnesses, which can also be said to be "referees", except for Mo Xin, several people were also suddenly a little excited.
Mo Xin's expression was calm, and seeing that Bai Xiaosheng did not have any rejection of what Master Owen said, he was also at ease.
In the past two years on the Internet, she and Bai Xiaosheng have chatted a lot about bartending, winemaking, wine tasting, and even a lot of her inspiration comes from Bai Xiaosheng.
In her opinion, Bai Xiaosheng is the real uncrowned king and the real master.
However, Mo Xin still approached Bai Xiaosheng and said in a low voice, "I have put all my bets on you, even your 'encounter' formula." If you win, we'll make a lot of money! If you lose...... You're miserable, I'm even worse!"
Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but glance at Mo Xin secretly, and whispered, "You still say! It's not you yet, you have to do something!"
"Actually, I really want to see you lose!" Mo Xin bit his lower lip with snow-white teeth, and smiled, "If you lose, will you cry your nose?"
Bai Xiaosheng rolled her eyes.
Mo Xin seemed to have no nervousness since Bai Xiaosheng dared to respond in public.
Then he is sure!
She was also relieved.
While the two were talking, Master Owen had already explained the requirements in detail to Antonio, the owner of Ferro Winery, and Antonio also called the butler to explain the arrangement.
In a huge winery, there are not a hundred but eighty servants, servants, and helpers, and if you work together, you can arrange everything in a very short time.
After the butler left, he led the people back to the hall in a few minutes.
The Ferro winery's employees lined up like ants, and soon three rows of long tables were set up in the hall, all of which were Western dining tables, covered with a thick snow-white tablecloth, and all kinds of utensils, tools, and even raw materials were placed as required.
The efficiency is breathtaking.
In less than ten minutes, the approximate things arrived. Some of the ones that are needed subsequently are also being shipped.
Master Owen saw that the things were almost delivered, so he smiled proudly at Bai Xiaosheng, thinking that he was extremely graceful and said, "In this first round, let's compare bartending, which can be regarded as your field of expertise." Count me in, let you be a junior!"
These beautiful words were all said by this Owen master.
The most powerful thing was the people around him, who didn't think there was anything wrong with him saying this.
Only Mo Xin frowned slightly.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were faintly speechless on their faces.
"Okay, then you're welcome, in a while, I'll ask Master Owen for more advice!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and walked towards the first row of long tables.
Bai Xiaosheng's demeanor, in the eyes of others, is quite detached.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying followed.
Seeing this, Master Owen snorted lightly in his nose, smiled at Antonio, made a "please" gesture, but took the lead and followed.
Antonio followed with a smile on his face.
Mo Xin, Mirose, Allen, Feng Moyu, and Feng Moyan, these five people were designated as witnesses, and they naturally followed.
Guests around the city could not miss the excitement.
They swarmed up and surrounded the arranged "ring" tightly.
The guests in the back couldn't see it, so they asked the maid to bring the chair and stand on it.
In the end, even a few more tables were brought in, and they were full of people.
Appearing in such a high-end drinking party, I have to say that it is extremely funny and rare.
The fact that Westerners, who pay special attention to etiquette and demeanor, can make such a gesture shows how tempting this competition is!
Master Owen said openly just now that this first game was a bartending, which was regarded as a concession to Bai Xiaosheng.
So on this first table, naturally there are bartending tools, as well as a variety of base wines, liqueurs, soft drinks, and juices.
Spare ingredients such as cardamom powder, celery powder, red and green cherries, and vanilla flakes are also available.
Even ordinary people have the impression that there should not be onions, olives, chili paste, and chili oil in wine.
If it were other wineries, they would definitely not prepare these, but Ferro Winery is always ready, and they are more and more prepared for today's event.
Everyone saw the complete sets of bottles and cans, tightly placed, orderly and orderly, and many dazzling, all of which were staggering.
Even a skilled bartender will have to work hard to come up with a cocktail to make and find the ingredients.
"Since it's a competition, and it's with me, then I have to increase the difficulty!" Master Owen looked at Bai Xiaosheng, slowly walked from one end of the long table to the other, his gaze swept over the countless bottles and cans, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a chuckle, in front of everyone, "We don't need the assistant of the winery, find the materials by ourselves, each person takes three minutes to prepare, and five minutes to concoct, how?!"
Master Owen's words made the onlookers all speechless.
"There are hundreds of bottles and cans of raw materials here, just to check where each ingredient is, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!"
"I've heard that the top master craftsmen, they can accurately find out where the things to be used are from the hundreds of raw materials with a sweep of their eyes and a sniff of their noses!"
"No, that's an exaggeration!"
"It's not the most difficult to find the raw materials, the key is to think about what kind of wine to make, you think, the masters have a trick between them, it's impossible to get something ordinary, so wouldn't it give the opponent a chance, I think it will create new wine on the spot!"
"Create a cocktail on the spot, and try it! Oh my God! I'm afraid only a master craftsman has such confidence!"
"Even if you think about it, is it really too late in time? From so many raw materials, I am afraid that I will be in a hurry!"
The guests were amazed.
Master Owen smirked.
He is showing off his skills, and he is also putting psychological pressure on Bai Xiaosheng.
Say what you say in three minutes to prepare, there is a huge hole in this!
Everyone ignored that Bai Xiaosheng was the first to mix a drink, and his preparation time was indeed only three minutes, and the preparation time was only five minutes.
But Master Owen watched from here, from Bai Xiaosheng's bartending to evaluation, the extra time was enough for him to write down the location of many ingredients on that table!
With Master Owen's eyesight and sense of smell, adding the extra "preparation time", noting down the location of the raw materials, and conceiving a new wine is naturally not a problem, not to mention that this young man is not sure of ten or nine, he is still sure!
Seeing that Master Owen was so confident, the guests all drank well.
Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan's brothers and sisters also had bright eyes, and they felt that this time they would win safely.
As a real insider, Alan secretly frowned, he sensed the problem!
But Master Owen is his idol, and Alan wants to stop talking, and it feels really hard to say.
And Mo Xin simply furrowed his brows, ready to make a voice to remind Bai Xiaosheng.
She wants to refine the rules of this competition and make it fairer!
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng spoke.
"Three minutes of preparation time?" Bai Xiaosheng looked at Master Owen, unhurried, and asked with a smile.
Is there less time?
Then I can give you one more minute!
Master Owen smiled slightly, ready to be "generous".
"It seems that Bai Xiaosheng has discovered the pit inside, and that's right, how can a person as smart as him not see it!" Mo Xin said happily in his heart, not ready to talk too much.
Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan brothers and sisters glanced at each other, all sneering.
They all thought that Bai Xiaosheng wanted to reduce the difficulty.
They were ready to wait for Bai Xiaosheng to finish his request, so they sneered.
"My preparation time is waived. ”
When everyone thought that Bai Xiaosheng was going to put forward conditions that were beneficial to him, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said this leisurely.
All of a sudden, everyone including Master Owen and Antonio was stunned.
The guests from afar thought they were hallucinating and couldn't help but ask the people around them with mosquito sounds.
"What did the young man say, didn't he have time to prepare?"
"That's what I heard, I couldn't have heard it wrong!"
Don't even think, don't even have time to check the ingredients?
Isn't this man crazy!
Master Owen's eyes sharpened, looked directly at Bai Xiaosheng, and repeated his words, "You say, you don't need to prepare time!"
"Besides, I'll add a little more difficulty. Bai Xiaosheng smiled, reached out and picked up a napple from the side, "I blindfolded my eyes and bartendered." ”
This sentence directly shocked everyone in place, and even Master Owen was dumbfounded.
Mo Xin and the others also looked incredulous, thinking that Bai Xiaosheng was joking again!
Faced with hundreds, countless ingredients, no preparation time, and blindfolded bartending?
Is this possible!
Is this still something that people can do?
The whole audience could be heard of the pins falling, Master Owen's face twitched a few times, and then he nodded his hair and said fiercely, "Okay! Boy, if you blindfold now, you can make a wine in five minutes, as long as it can reach the A-level level, count me as losing!"
The liquor industry association has an internal rating for cocktails, and Mo Xin and Allen know it.
A-grade wine, already a master-level level!
At this moment, Master Owen is ruthless, he doesn't believe it, the young man who is arguing with him is a monster!
Can you find the ingredients with your eyes blindfolded, and you can still make good wine?
He didn't believe it!
"Yes. Bai Xiaosheng said calmly again.
But this kind of calm seems to others to be arrogant and arrogant!
"This young man is too arrogant!"
"How is this possible!"
"If he can do it, I'll eat this table!"
"I don't believe it, he can make A-grade wine with his eyes closed!"
The audience boiled.
Those who support Master Owen, no one believes it!
How can there be such a monster in this world!
Even Antonio had a different color on his face and didn't believe it at all.
Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan were all sneering.
Even Mo Xin and Allen, who supported Bai Xiaosheng, couldn't believe it.
Not to mention their gang, even Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were shocked in place.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ignored the gazes of others, reached out and folded the napkin into a long strip, and wanted to put it on himself.
"I'll come, you wear it yourself, we don't worry!" On the side, Feng Moyu suddenly raised his voice.
Faced with such a request, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and reached out to hand the napkin to Feng Moyu.
Under the attention of everyone, Feng Moyu strode forward, carefully folded the napkin, and tried it himself, sure that it would not leak, so he put it on for Bai Xiaosheng.
When he wore it, others saw Bai Xiaosheng close his eyes, which were tightly blocked, and there was no possibility of seeing it.
Many people suddenly looked forward to it!
They want to see miracles.
Or, see this young man on the spot!
Feng Moyu was obviously the latter, and he checked again and again before sneering and turning back.
"I'll time you, I said you can start, remember, you only have no more than five minutes! Five minutes to prepare a cocktail, the level must not be lower than A!" Feng Mo couldn't help but emphasize.
She was trying to disturb Bai Xiaosheng's state of mind, disturbing the formula that Bai Xiaosheng might have built in her heart at the moment, and repeatedly emphasizing the time limit, making him nervous.
Although Feng Moyan didn't believe it, Bai Xiaosheng could do it, she only thought that Bai Xiaosheng was grandstanding and making excuses for losing to Master Owen, but she still spared no effort to make trouble for Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng was extremely calm and said softly, "You can start the timer now." ”
Bai Xiaosheng, who closed his eyes, clearly appeared in his mind, a virtual "image" appeared, and on the long table, each ingredient was accurately marked with the name and quality, so that he could "see it at a glance" in his mind. Even where he was standing now, and what existed around him, was successfully modeled in his mind.
Red Lotus does this super artificial intelligence doing this, it is simply "Qu Cai".
Master Owen set up a set for Bai Xiaosheng ring by ring, Bai Xiaosheng is not a fool, how can he not see it.
Since foreigners play yin, Bai Xiaosheng is not polite, when it comes to "cheating", who is afraid of whom. In their words, in English, it is: ho pa ho!
was urged by Bai Xiaosheng to start, Feng Moyan was really a little unaccustomed.
"Yes!" Feng Moyan took out his mobile phone, pressed the timer, and raised his voice, "Let's go!"
In an instant, the audience was silent, the needle drop could be heard, and everyone looked at Bai Xiaosheng.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Xiaosheng was motionless at first, stagnant for about ten seconds.
These ten seconds, in the eyes of everyone, have been stretched to an extremely long point.
When everyone's patience was almost exhausted, and they were about to urge, Bai Xiaosheng moved.
As if walking leisurely, and as if walking by the reins, Bai Xiaosheng walked from one end of the long table to the other, reaching out to take the things he needed from the table, tools, raw materials, stirring, modulating, every step is extremely precise, every step is easy, as if Bai Xiaosheng is the long table, the owner of all the raw materials, has already been familiar with bartending a hundred times thousands of times.
Everyone's eyes were straight.
Those who didn't believe in it were suffocated in breath, and their eyes were round.
How is this possible!
He...... Really did it!
This unbelievable and indeed happened scene made everyone speechless.
Over there, Master Owen's eyes were round, and Antonio was also the boss with his mouth open, and his eyes were straight.
Not only these two, Mo Xin, Allen, and Milos looked shocked, Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the whole person stiffened!
Fake!
This must be fake!
That guy must be a magician, it must be, it's a trick, it's impossible!
Feng Mo even roared in his heart.
Bai Xiaosheng walked to the end of the long table, paused, the cocktail shaker in his hand was thrown high, and then rolled in his hand, and finally stopped.
This is also Bai Xiaosheng showing off his skills, showing off his skills to the horror of the audience.
"That's it. Bai Xiaosheng raised the shaker and said softly.
There was no response for a long time, Bai Xiaosheng listened to it, and said loudly again, "It's already okay, I've adjusted it!"
As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng pulled down the napkin tied to his eyes.
"Knot, is it over!" Feng Moyan, who was in charge of the timekeeping, stammered, and saw that everyone was looking at her, and quickly looked at the phone.
One minute and fifty-five seconds!
It's been less than two minutes......
Bartending is not a thing that is faster or slower than speed, but right now, Bai Xiaosheng has been played to the extreme and played to a new height!
"Is it over?!" someone said in a trembling voice.
"Adjusted?!"
"Yes, it's adjusted?!"
"How?!"
At this moment, countless people seemed to be reactivated, and they asked one after another.
The originally quiet scene was like a boiling pot in an instant.
Everyone looked eagerly at the cocktail shaker in Bai Xiaosheng's hand, and in that small vessel, there seemed to be a miracle, waiting for everyone to reveal it.
"Be quiet!" shouted Antonio, the owner of the winery.
It's a pity that no one listened to him, and the gentlemen and ladies who were originally extremely polite seemed to be in a state of excitement and madness, and kept talking to themselves.
Chanted many times in a row, to no avail, Antonio was also angry, walked over directly, picked up a utensil and slammed it on the ground, and let out an angry roar, "Quiet!"
Finally, the guests' attention was drawn and silenced.
Antonio gasped and said helplessly, "The following is the tasting session, please stay quiet." ”
This worked.
Everyone was silent, and their eyes shimmered at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng poured the wine into a few small glasses, and Lin Weiwei stepped forward to take the tray and gave it to Mo Xin and the five people.
A small glass of amber wine, exuding a translucent and seductive luster, seems to have a faint aroma that makes people salivate.
Mo Xin took a cup from each of them and tasted it carefully.
All the guests stared at them.
After tasting and tasting, Feng Moyu's face became ugly.
Alan and Mirose's eyes lit up.
The guests were anxious and didn't know what level of cocktail it was.
Over there, Master Owen and Antonio also took a cup and tasted it.
The former's face was hard to look at, but the latter's eyes were as bright as a torch.
"This is not an A-grade cocktail!" Mo Xin was the first to speak and gave his own assessment, "This is S-grade!"
