Inside the old town hall, people look up at the numbers on the scoreboard.

Leo, who got ten points, has already firmly stood in the front row, while Lin Li is still in tenth place although it is thrilling.

Seeing such results, Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, she raised her hand to wipe her cold sweat, and looked at Li Bai in the audience, with a happy face.

The first day of competition ended like this, and people were discussing what kind of woman Lin Li was.

Back at Li Bai's manor, Lin Li began to prepare for the next day's blind tasting.

"Okay, here I go. ”

After that, Lin Li took a deep breath and asked Gu Zichen to help her blindfold her with a strip of black cloth.

At this time, Lin Li was standing in front of a large table, which was filled with all kinds of wine and ten crystal clear glasses.

At this time, Li Bai stepped forward and carefully selected 10 kinds of wine and poured them into the glass in front of Lin Li.

In this competition, there is a special competition system in the blind tasting section, and the general blind tasting is that you can see the appearance of the wine, and you can further judge the variety and production area of the wine by the color and viscosity of the wine, but this competition only allows the nose and tongue to be used.

When the first round of the competition ended, Li Bai got the news from the staff of the competition, and the roots of his teeth were itching, he looked at Leo who was praised by everyone in the distance, and couldn't help but scold him in Yaoguo.

"This nasty thing! must be his fault!"

Li Bai is not wrong to think so, Leo's excellent sense of smell and taste is known to everyone, and Lao Pei Ao is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and it can be done by using his position to make some adjustments, not to mention this seemingly reasonable modification of the competition system.

Leo in the distance also saw Li Bai who was going crazy with anger, leaving a contemptuous look that made people even more annoying.

Thinking of this, Lin Li adapted to the darkness in front of her and took the cup that Li Bai handed her.

I put it under my nose and smelled it, and a slightly sour grape aroma rushed into Lin Li's nose, and the tip of Lin Li's tongue jumped with the smell of many fruits and herbs.

At this time, Lin Li tasted the aftertaste of the wine, smashed it, and said with great certainty: "This bright sweetness and acidity must be the Chardonnay of Chablis!"

After answering, Lin Li waited nervously, but unfortunately there was silence around her.

Until Lin Li couldn't wait any longer, she pulled off the blindfold and asked urgently, "How is it!

At this time, Li Bai smiled bitterly and pointed to the first glass of wine in front of Lin Li, which was a glass of wine with a magnificent rose color.

Wrong, you can know it's wrong at a glance, the wine from the wine region that Lin Li answered will not have such bright colors.

Seeing Lin Li's decadent appearance, Li Bai sniffed and comforted her.

"It doesn't matter, the taste of the two is somewhat similar, we're trying. ”

Hearing this, Lin Li looked at the blindfold again, but Leo's contemptuous smile appeared in his heart.

At this time, under the guidance of Li Bai, Lin Li picked up a glass of wine again, put it under his nose, and shook it slightly.

A clear lime fragrance rushed up, and suddenly, a large amount of saliva was secreted in Lin Li's mouth, and then Lin Li also smelled an extremely obvious smoky smell.

She took a small sip slowly, put it on the tip of her tongue and tasted it, rolling it in her mouth, carefully feeling the taste of the wine.

The palate is a bit sour, followed by oak barrels, then a hint of rose, followed by a mouthful of sweetness.

Swallowing the wine, Lin Li took the cup and hesitated, not daring to say the answer easily.

After a few minutes, Li Bai couldn't help but remind.

"Miss Lin Li, the whole tasting time is only 50 minutes, and once it runs out, this glass is considered a mistake. ”

"It's Portugal, the port wine of the Douro Valley. ”

Again, no one responded.

Then, Lin Li removed the blindfold again, looked at the glass of rich wine in front of him, and knew that he was wrong, although the port wine was sweet, most of the wines were light in color, and the dark color was close to coffee.

In the hour of the wine tasting experiment, Lin Li only got three answers right, in fact, this score is already very good among people who have not been trained.

But they all knew they were dealing with Leo's almost genius sense of smell and taste.

"I ...... I went out to breathe. ”

Li Bai, who had always been optimistic, finally couldn't laugh, he put down the timer, took a glass of wine and walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Lin Li smiled bitterly and looked at this Gu Zichen.

"It's okay, a taster can't do it overnight, so don't be too embarrassed. ”

"It seems that Li Bai won't be able to take the tears of beauty this time. ”

After that, Lin Li also put down the wine glass, smiled reluctantly, and suddenly felt a very depressed feeling in his heart.

"I'm out for a walk, too. ”

Looking at Lin Li's back, Gu Zichen suddenly stood up and said, "You go and see the water jade ice spirit." ”

Hearing this, Lin Li turned around and was a little puzzled, but Gu Zichen didn't want to explain.

"Good. ”

At this time, Lin Li was walking to a remote place in the manor with her head down, and when she heard a faint cry, she turned a tall shrub and saw Li Bai who was crying with her head down.

"Li Bai ......"

Seeing this, Lin Li thought about it, but still didn't walk over to call him, just stood behind Li Bai for a while, and then turned around and left.

Li Bai's cry has always been in Lin Li's mind, lingering.

At this time, Lin Li stopped irritably in front of the house where the water jade ice spirit was placed, and took a deep breath.

Seeing this, the shadow guard helped Lin Li open the door and said softly: "The boss ordered you to take a closer look at whether the water jade ice spirit was damaged. ”

At this time, Lin Li nodded and walked in.

Early the next morning, Lin Li and the others came to the venue of the city hall.

At this time, Lin Li was led by Gu Zichen, with her eyes closed and not saying a word.

At this time, Leo in the distance saw them, walked over slowly, and said extremely arrogantly:

"Good morning, Miss Lin Li, are you so scared that you don't even dare to open your eyes? ”

Listening to this provocative smile, Li Bai's face was ugly for a while, he stood in front of Lin Li, and his tone was not good.

"Leo, you'd better take care of yourself, don't make a fool of yourself and get spanked by your father in a while!"

Don't look at Leo usually listens to old Pei Ao, and he is very afraid of old Pei Ao, but he hates being told and listening to his father the most.

"You! You are embarrassed to say that you need someone else to play for you! You can't even get your father's recipe back! You shit!"

Looking at Leo with an arrogant face, Li Bai's anger could no longer be suppressed, a deep roar came out of his throat, he clenched his fists tightly and rushed towards Leo.

Fortunately, Zhang Ou grabbed him quickly, otherwise the two would have scuffled together.

"You two, can you be quiet? ”

At this time, Lin Li frowned, closed her eyes and said indifferently.

Hearing the sound, Leo also pushed away the man in black who was blocking him, then tidied up his tie, and snorted coldly, although he couldn't understand what Lin Li was saying, but looking at Lin Li's calm appearance, he didn't feel very comfortable.

"Hmph, what the hell are you pretending? Do you think you can still be like yesterday? I don't think you can make it to the finals!"

Listening to Leo's disparagement, Li Bai was angry again.

"Shut up!"

"Okay, let me shut up, let's make a bet! If Miss Lin Li can enter the finals today, I will kneel down in front of you and plead guilty to you, if Miss Lin Li can't make it to the finals, then you will bow to me respectfully when you see me in the future, indicating that I am the best winemaker in Basilicata." ”

Hearing this, Li Bai gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, and he still refused to say a word, he wanted to win the game, but he knew that it was not good to put pressure on Lin Li like this.

"Mr. Luch, why don't you speak? Are you afraid?"

As he spoke, Leo burst out laughing in the crowd.

The people around looked over and looked at Li Bai with some pity.

"Well, I agreed, would you like to raise the conditions a little higher? ”

Hearing this, Leo suddenly stopped laughing, looked at Lin Li with some astonishment, and opened his mouth a little ugly.

"What did you say?"

Looking at Leo's expression, Lin Li opened his eyes and walked towards him.

"I said I agreed. ”

Seeing this, Li Bai also reacted, hurriedly grabbed Lin Li, and whispered in her ear: "Don't stand up for me, with your current level, you can't win him!"

After listening, Lin Li looked at Li Bai with a smile and did not speak.

At this time, the morning sun shone into the courtyard of the ancient city hall, and Lin Li's black and white eyes seemed to be filled with golden light, which was very beautiful.

"Hear that, Miss Lin Li, it's not that I don't believe you, and your friends don't believe you either!"

Hearing this, Li Bai withdrew his hand with some embarrassment.

"You trust me. ”

At this time, Lin Li looked at Gu Zichen and Li Bai very firmly, with a bright light in his eyes.

Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but nod their heads, so the bet was established.

The people around looked at Li Bai sympathetically, shook their heads and said that Lin Li didn't know how thick the sky was.

The rules of the competition, except for blindfolding, are no different from ordinary wine tasting competitions, that is, each person has 5 different glasses of wine in front of them, which are served by the staff immediately.

The order of the game is the same as yesterday's, Lin Li and Leo are at the next table.

At this time, Lin Li had already put on a blindfold, and Leo's nasty voice next to him sounded again.

"Miss Lin Li, I'm going to attack with all my might this time, you may lose ugly. ”

Hearing this, Lin Li smiled and stopped talking.

The game began, and because it was played at the same time at several venues, it was soon Leo's turn, and with the help of the staff, he picked up a glass of wine that was extremely colorful.

Then, he gently placed the wine under his nose, took a deep breath, and then shook the glass, his movements extremely graceful and skillful, and the rich aroma was deeply stimulated.

After a few seconds, Leo took a small sip into his mouth, slowly stirred it up, turned his head and spit the wine into the barrel, savoring its long flavor, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The bouquet is full-bodied, with an intense lemon fruit aroma with smoky limestone mineral notes, residual sugars at 4 grams per litre, a full-bodied, rounded body, medium acidity and a creamy mouthfeel, indicating malolactic fermentation during the vinification process. This wine has more peach and apricot flavors while having a softer and rounder mouthfeel. ”

"The high residual sugar taste and the straightforward open aroma both indicate that it comes from a region with a milder climate in a New World country. Intense oak barrel flavours also indicate barrel fermentation, with a rich and complex aroma that points to its high quality, with typical grapefruit and smoky flavours pointing to Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. ”

Leo spoke, and the audience burst into applause.
