Chapter 197, the situation is reversed
In the venue, with bursts of applause, Leo completed the blind tasting of five glasses of wine.
Several examiners were extremely satisfied, and they all gave high scores, and Leo still sat firmly on the first throne.
Immediately, it was Lin Li's turn.
The staff put five glasses of prepared wine in front of Lin Li and told Lin Li that he could start.
At this time, Lin Li took a deep breath and, with the help of the staff, picked up the first glass of wine.
She put the cup under her nose and sniffed it briefly, then poured a sip of wine directly, turned it in her mouth a few times, and swallowed it.
When the examiner on the opposite side saw Lin Li's appearance, he couldn't help but exchange glances in surprise.
Sure enough, there was a chuckle from the audience.
"This young lady looks very beautiful and elegant, but I didn't expect her movements to be so rude. β
A woman beside Li Bai who looked mature and beautiful couldn't help but laugh lightly.
Hearing this, Li Bai glared back fiercely, and then turned around and stared at Lin Li nervously, beating a drum in his heart.
What's wrong with this Lin Li? Is it because she is so nervous that she has forgotten the basic etiquette?
Actually, Lin Li was just thirsty.
She pressed all the distracting thoughts in her heart hard, tasted it carefully, and then spit it out accurately, the movements were smooth, as if she could see it, and then Lin Li kept inhaling to judge the aroma between her lips and teeth, just when Li Bai thought that Lin Li couldn't answer.
At this time, Lin Li slowly showed a smile, and a light voice sounded.
"The aroma is almost the same as the taste in the mouth, with aromas of lemon and lime with high acidity, and the same light and creamy taste testifies to malolactic fermentation, and this wine is identified as Chardonnay of Chablis in France. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone on and off the field was stunned for a moment, and those who were about to laugh widened their eyes in surprise, while Lin Li continued.
"A layered palate with a long aftertaste, elegant French oak barrels and an ever-changing, complex aroma that confirms what was previously inferred. At the same time, its slightly grassy aroma and fresh fruity aroma prove that it comes from a more mature and high-quality vintage in the recent vintage, 2009, which I judged to be from a good quality winery. β
After Lin Li finished answering, the venue was quiet, and after a few seconds, Li Bai suddenly woke up, stood up directly, and applauded vigorously.
There was a huge round of applause in the room, ten times stronger than Leo's just now.
Looking at Lin Li smiling on the stage, Li Bai was both excited and confused, he turned slightly sideways and looked at Gu Zichen and asked:
"What the hell is going on? What happened after I got out?"
Hearing this, Gu Zichen looked at Lin Li with deep eyes, smiled and did not speak, which made Li Bai even more curious, and at the same time, Leo's mocking smile froze on his face.
Why did this woman suddenly become so strong?
Looking at Li Baide's performance, it seems that he doesn't understand very well?
Could it be that this woman deliberately hid her strength? No wonder she agreed to the gambling contract so readily this morning, and she was still careless!
At this time, Lin Li had already picked up the second glass of wine, and a set of movements was more skilled and elegant than just now, and the process would not take more than a minute, then lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and said in a nice voice:
"The wine seems to be bright gold, with lime aromas and spices such as white pepper, which point to aromatic grape varieties such as Viognier. The fruity flavours of the white peach carry the terroir of this mineral, which points to the higher quality of Viognier from a classic appellation. Medium body and acidity, but with some ripe fruit that doesn't make the acidity noticeable, I guess it's from the RhΓ΄ne Valley. β
The applause rang out again, and at this time, Leo's eyes looking at Lin Li were already very weird.
The five glasses of wine were quickly tasted by Lin Li, she took off her blindfold with a smile, and her sparkling eyes soon appeared on the big screen.
"Such beautiful eyes, this lady is really beautiful, I can't imagine that the strength is so strong, no wonder only the winery has changed people temporarily, even if Lu Qi goes up in person, it may not be able to finish better. β
Hearing this, Li Bai didn't refute, but nodded sincerely, agreeing very much.
"It's amazing! Lin Li, is this open?"
Soon the examiner's scoring ended, and they gave high scores, and the old man sitting in the middle actually gave a high score of 9 points that has not appeared so far.
"This young lady, you know a lot about wine, and you describe it beautifully, and you are as moving as these wines. β
Listening to the examiner's praise, Lin Li bowed slightly and thanked him elegantly and decently.
Soon, Lin Li rose to second place with a high score in this round, and Leo was 1 point apart.
At this time, Lin Li looked at Leo who was leaning his neck next to him, looking at the scoreboard in disbelief, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked over.
"Mr. Leo, I guess remember this morning's bet, remember what you said. β
At this time, Lin Li saw Li Bai waving his hands excitedly, so he also waved at him happily.
At this time, Leo suddenly saw Gu Zichen with a calm expression next to Li Bai, his eyes suddenly cold, glared at Lin Li, and turned to leave.
The competition ended quickly, and people looked at Lin Li on the stage, and their eyes changed again, and there were still many wineries and estates to ask Li Bai how this popping up taster came out.
At this time, Gu Zichen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he grabbed Li Bai, who was excitedly recommending Lin Li, pointed to the scoreboard, and said coldly: "Look, something is wrong." β
Hearing this, Li Bai looked back, suddenly froze, and after a few seconds, his temper exploded directly, and he scolded: "What about the staff! What about the staff! What is going on!"
Hearing Li Bai's roar, Lin Li, who came down from the stage, also noticed the change on the scoreboard and stopped.
Lin Li, who was originally in second place, disappeared from the scoring list at this time, and Leo's first place was so bright and dazzling.
At this time, the official announced on the big screen that there was really no Lin Li in the list of finalists.
At this time, Li Bai trembled with anger and scolded.
"It's Leo's grandson again! See if I don't break his legs!"
Just when Li Bai was angrily looking for Leo, the red-haired little brother ran over with an ugly face and whispered: "Luqi, Leo just went backstage to find the organizer, and insisted that only the people from the winery were cheating, and he also listed a bunch of evidence." β
After hearing this, Li Bai's eyes widened angrily, he couldn't believe what he had heard, he had long known that Leo was despicable, but he didn't expect him to be so hateful.
"As far as he knows the organizer, I'm going to talk about how we cheated!"
As he spoke, Li Bai rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush backstage, when the examiner suddenly walked to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now Mr. Leo questioned our judgment, and he complained that this Miss Lin Li had prepared the question in advance and memorized it directly, because he had some evidence, but it was not enough to explain the problem, for the sake of fairness, we are trying again. β
As he spoke, the old man bowed to Lin Li and asked politely.
"Miss Lin Li, in order to prove your strength, this is the fastest way. β
Without waiting for Lin Li to speak, Li Bai in the audience exploded, he rushed to the side of the stage and said loudly: "Lord Examiner, don't you think this is already unfair? β
At this time, Leo walked up from behind, with a wicked smile on his face, and he looked at the angry Li Bai with satisfaction.
"Mr. Luch, no prisoner will admit that he has made a mistake, and neither will you, if you have not cheated, you will do it again. β
Looking at Leo who was arrogantly leaning up his neck, Li Bai's anger stopped fighting.
Suddenly, Lin Li, who was standing on the side, raised his hand to stop Li Bai's childish scolding.
"Examiner, I think your proposal just now is very good, so let's do it, in order to completely dispel Mr. Leo's concerns, the two of us will choose two kinds of wine for each other, of course, we can't use other means, such as mixing several wines together, so the examiner will help me supervise. β
After that, Lin Li squinted at Leo and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Leo, do you think it's okay?"
Seeing this, although Leo's face was not good-looking, he could only agree.
This sudden increase attracted people who were originally going to leave, and everyone returned to their seats.
Seeing Lin Li's face indifferent, not nervous at all, and even seeing him with pity in his eyes, Leo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he gritted his teeth, but still strengthened his thoughts.
There must be something wrong with this woman, it seemed that her ability was far inferior to her own yesterday, why is she so powerful today?
A few minutes later, the staff came to the stage with four glasses of wine, and the two began to taste blindly, Leo played very steadily, and it was completed in a short time.
stared at Lin Li, hoping to find a flaw.
It's a pity that Lin Li is still the same as just now, although her movements are a little slower and her thinking time is a little longer, she still successfully answered all the points involved in the wine and passed the test perfectly.
At this time, the examiner took the stage again and announced: "Miss Lin Li's competition results are no problem, she has entered the finals." β
"Wait! You're so sloppy! There's something wrong with this woman!"
At this time, Leo had a hideous face and yelled on the stage, and the examiner also frowned.
"Mr. Leo, you say I cheated, but you prepared the wine just now, do you have a problem too?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience laughed, Leo had a hideous face at this time, with teeth and claws, where was there still half a gentleman's elegance.
Syllable!
A loud slap was thrown on Leo's face, and old Pei Ao stood beside him with anger, and his voice was extremely majestic.
"What are you doing! You have lost all the face of my Pei Ao Winery, the game is not over, and she can't win against you, what are you doing this for!"
That slap seemed to have knocked Leo awake, and he saw old Pei Ao and lowered his head deeply.
Later, Lin Li successfully entered the finals.
In the finals, 14 teams took out their newly developed wines this year, let the examiners taste them blindly, choose the two favorites, and finally compare.
In fact, Lin Li is not needed in this link, Li Bai took the stage to operate it himself.
Soon the results came out, and the last two wines were served on the stage.
The big screen quickly showed the appearance of the two wines, one glass was bright red, and the other was shaking golden, clear and bright.
At this time, Lin Li immediately recognized that the golden cup was the one that Li Bai gave him to drink.
After the selection of the examiners, Li Bai's wine finally defeated another glass 3 to 2, that is, the new product developed by Lao Pei Ao, Chixia.
At this time, after Li Bai celebrated with everyone, he walked straight to Lao Pei Ao, and he looked coldly at the disgusting father and son in front of him.
"Mr. Pei Ao, I hope you will be the talker and never be a beauty tear in the future. β
Anyway, Li Baitou won't leave.
At this time, Lin Li was surrounded by people in the center, smiling and answering reporters' questions, and suddenly she accidentally glanced at the door, and her bright green hair quickly attracted Lin Li's attention.
"Is that him?"
