Old Sean is a winemaking layman and an expert in drinking, not to mention David, as soon as the two of them drank it, they knew that this wine definitely didn't look like a new brew.

In the jargon of the wine industry, newly brewed wine is also called 'young' wine, this kind of wine actually does not need to be awakened, you can drink it immediately after opening the bottle, while the majestic old wine must be awakened, and it must be poured into the 'decanter' through the 'bottle change', so that the tannins in the aged wine are in full contact with the air, so that the bitter taste can be removed and the aroma of the wine can be released.

From this point of view, the old wine that needs to be awakened first is not necessarily better than the new wine, the reason why the old wine is expensive is because the quantity is limited, drinking a bottle is one less bottle, and the old wine that can be retained for decades or even hundreds of years must be the best in the past, in fact, it is a victory in probability, but it may not be able to prove that the old wine must exceed the new wine, which is the biggest misunderstanding.

So just now Ellen took out the decanter, which already made the old Sean feel very strange, but although last year's wine was a new wine, it was not outrageous to wake up for more than ten minutes, but when they tasted this wine jug, old Sean they immediately felt that something was wrong, this wine is not only delicious and pure, even in the second-class wine, it is also the best, and there is a sense of heaviness that can only appear after the old wine wakes up, which is the taste that the new wine cannot produce, and it is also one of the reference standards for the sommelier to taste the wine, which only the real old drunkard and professionals like David can drink。

Treating old wine as new wine to 'communicate' is bullying people who don't understand wine at Mary's Winery? Old Sean is just that, the most angry is actually David, if it weren't for Ellen smiling and elegant and calm, he really wanted to punch it. Let this guy know what the consequences are of underestimating himself!

"My personal secret is to give a new wine a sense of richness that can only be found in an old wine, which is enough to double its value."

Ellen had a faint hint of pride: "Of course, this is not the key to determining the final quality of red wine, but in the eyes of people who really understand wine, it is also very important, isn't it?"

"Giving new wine the heaviness that can only be found in old wine is the biggest lie I've ever heard in my life. ”

David knows that only a wine that has been aged for three years, or even more than five years, is called an 'aged wine'. This is because the wine is kept out of the air in sealed oak barrels, and an ingredient called TannicAcid is slowly developed in the wine during the decanting process. When TannicAcid comes into full contact with oxygen, it will change in a variety of ways depending on the time, place, temperature, and humidity of the bottle. Why is it that the aged wine in a fine dining restaurant is always buried in ice? It is to use physical cooling to keep the wine in a constant, controllable change after opening, and even if it is not perfect, it can remain above the standard.

The real masters of the tasting do not look down on the means of using ice cubes to control the aging of the wine, and they prefer to control it in a way that they approve of and experience the strange changes of the aging wine. In order to make this characteristic more prominent, top wineries such as Mouton and Lafite even do not hesitate to change the oak barrels every three years for dozens or even hundreds of years. If you're still like this with the cellar masters of the top wineries, do you have the hand to steal the sky and break the rules of time?

David scoffed, he would rather believe that Helen in Greek mythology was a pure virgin~ than believe Ellen's deceitful words.

"My secret can't be passed on. That's why that's all I can say."

Ellen smiled: "Of course, if the two gentlemen have doubts about my words, you can seek verification from an authoritative person. Mr. Sean doesn't think I'm going to pass off old wine as a new bar in front of Miss Emery?"

"Zhou, you see"

Seeing Ellen's eloquent appearance, old Sean and David had no idea for a while, this guy was right. Mermaid Manor is already dominant, and it seems that there is no need to deceive in front of the media, isn't that a bad way to get along with himself? Willie is obviously not so stupid.

The bottomless old Sean turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, and now he can only hope that his young partner can save face in Mary's Manor.

"Mr. Ellen is really an imaginative person"

Ellen is elegant like a gentleman, and Zhou Yi is elegant like a knight, at least in the eyes of onlookers. Picking up the red wine from Mermaid Manor and tasting it, Zhou Yi, a guy who had never made red wine, quickly used the knowledge given by the system to analyze and judge Ellen's so-called 'secret'.

One sip, two sips, three sips, just when Zhou Yi was about to finish the glass of red wine in his hand, and Old Sean's heartbeat increased several times, Zhou Yi smiled. Sure enough, Ellen didn't brag, he put a lot of effort into it. Willie doesn't seem to be just a lustful fat guy on the surface, he has a good eye, and he didn't choose the wrong person.

"Winemaking by hand, a near-perfect threshing, juicing process and a fermented powder suitable for the grapes, right?"

Zhou Yi laughed appreciatively, but Ellen obviously didn't have such a good mood as him, his whole body trembled, as if he saw a ghost, he almost didn't throw away the red wine, what elegant demeanor, gentlemanly style, all went to Java, and now he only has Zhou Yi in his eyes, of course, this is not love, but fear.

"You actually see my leaven powder, you" Even the voice of the voice trembled, Ellen felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, damn, it was a mistake to come to Bordeaux by herself, but shouldn't it be Joseph of Château Mouton and Elm of Château Lafite who revealed their secrets?

"It's a great leaven, it must have been extracted from some kind of grape or fruit close to grapes, right?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said: "This is a genius idea, using this fermented powder to accelerate the production of TannicAcid in new wines, although this cannot fundamentally change the quality of the wine, let alone make the second-grade wine become first-class, but it is enough to add icing on the cake and increase the sense of identity of the taster." Although this is not a revolutionary ~ life technology that changes the history of red wine, it is a technology that can make a winemaker quickly become famous and even stand at the top of the industry, right?"

This is how Ellen feels now, and he stammers and sits on the chair, not knowing what to say. This is actually understandable, and no one can stand their years of hard work. I finally came up with a secret killer idea, and I was about to make a big deal to become a myth in the industry, but I was seen through at a glance

Ellen felt like she had been stripped naked. It's just a matter of stripping, but the other party is not out of love or base ~ affection.

Zhou Yi was relaxed at this time, although Ellen's hand was on the sidelines. But it gave him a lot of inspiration, originally those third-grade red wines in Mary Manor couldn't beat Mermaid Manor in any way, they could only be 'communicated', even if he had no choice, Lovely Lun helped him open a door, a door to cheat.

"Admire, it turns out that Zhou is not only a cook, but also a master brewer"

Willie patted Ellen on the shoulder and motioned for him to calm down: "But now is not the time to discuss leaven powder, let's continue our conversation, Mr. Sean." My old friend, you've tasted the wine of Mermaid Manor, and it's time to bring out your wine, right?"

After all, he is the owner of the manor, and Willy sees the big picture. Grasp the crux of the matter.

"Uh, okay, Zhou you see"

Old Sean knew what kind of wine he had, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't compare these third-level wines with Willy, so he had to look at Zhou Yi again.

"What are you hesitating about, Mr. Sean, just bring out the red wine I made earlier. ”

Zhou Yi smiled indifferently.

"Your improved wine?" Old Sean was confused, looking at the Chinese youth with a sincere face. I can't find the north a little, and my heart said that you have only been here for three days, and you have beaten rabbits, when have you improved the red wine?"

"What? David didn't tell you?

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Actually, I have the same idea as Mr. Ellen, and I have also made some improvements to the red wine of Mary's Manor, but I didn't expect to use it now, so let's go with Mr. Davy and take a bottle of the wine we have studied and improved, and please ask Mr. Willie to wait a minute, oh, and Miss Emery, this wine is very suitable for ladies to drink, you will definitely like it." ”

"I'm Mr. Sean, I'm going to get wine with Zhou, oh, it's amazing. ”

David was slightly stunned, but he soon understood, and followed Zhou Yi to blow up, since the magic week said, then there is a way, but he doesn't know why Zhou Yi pulled him, but he didn't know that the magic week has been looking at the scenery and beating rabbits in the past two days, and he hasn't been to the big wine cellar of the manor at all, and if he doesn't pull up, I'm afraid he won't even be able to find the door

***

"Zhou, are you saying that with these third-level wines, you can win over Mermaid Manor?"

Watching Zhou Yi walk around the cellar, leaning down from time to time to smell the wine barrel, David felt very inexplicable, who would know better? The best quality wine here is only the middle color of the third-grade wine, not to mention the comparison with the second-level wine, I am afraid that if you are not careful, even the second-level wine can't be compared, even if it is a magic week, it is impossible to violate this fact.

"Grade 3 wine, Ellen can use his carefully formulated leaven powder to enhance the purity of the wine, can't we improve the quality of the 3rd wine?

Zhou Yi patted a wine barrel and said, "That's it, David, help get a bottle out." ”

"I really admire you, Zhou, how do you know that this barrel is the best red wine of the season?"

Seeing that Zhou Yi only sniffed with his nose, he found out the best new wine in Mary's Manor, David's mouth could be stuffed into a goose egg, it was really capable of anything, the magic Zhou's nose was definitely smarter than Octavian, but soon he thought that this was a very impolite analogy, how could Zhou say that he was also his own boss, how could he use this to compare?

"Feel"

Zhou Yi didn't explain much, took the wine handed by David, shook it up and down, and looked at the wine: "Barely usable, David, Mary Manor should have a small range of ice grapes, right?"

In addition to those first-class wines, the aristocracy of French wine also has ice wine. Even the cheapest ice wine sells for more than 500 francs, and the most expensive is even more valuable than 82 Lafite and 45 Mouton, because it is made from grapes that have survived the winter, commonly known as 'ice wine'. It is a genetically optimized product, and hundreds of years ago, the French consciously selected those varieties that are resistant to cold and movement in their grapes. Then, after repeated hybridization ~ cultivation, I finally got the ice grape that can grow in winter, and the wine made from it is naturally clear. It is the best drink on a hot summer day. However, even the final survival rate of ice wine is not more than 30%, and the utilization rate is even lower than 5%, so ice wine is more expensive than its peers. Become a treasure on the table.

In Bordeaux, almost all wineries will produce a certain amount of ice wine, especially the third and fourth grade wineries, their red wine is difficult to sell at a good price, but ice wine is different, even if it is a daily table wine grade ice wine, its value is equivalent to the regional table wine grade red wine, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeline of these small wineries.

Therefore, Zhou Yi believed that there should also be ice grapes in Mary's Winery, and Ellen gave him a hint that the system skills of improving ingredients and improving quality would definitely allow him to make something more rebellious than that kind of 'leaven powder'. But this also requires good materials, and the higher the level of the original material, the more perfect the system skills will be.

"Yes, there are, but they are all inferior goods left over from the selection of the manor, and they are all stored in the freezer. Ready for the kids to eat."

David didn't understand what Zhou Yi wanted Bing Lu to do, did this have anything to do with the imminent 'exchange'?

Zhou Yi wasn't ready to explain anything, took a large plate of ice grapes that David found, nodded and said, "Yes, it can be used, right David." Please go out first, help me close the door to the cellar, and when I finish improving this bottle of wine, I will go back as soon as possible."

"Oh, of course, of course. ”

Although David is very curious, he is a qualified winemaker, and naturally knows that master winemakers have strange tempers, especially when using tricks, the most taboo is that someone is present to steal learning.

Seeing David go out, Zhou Yi began to quickly pick up the ice grapes. These ice grapes are all eliminated goods, naturally not full and fresh, and some even have bad spots on them, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is no deterioration and damage to the genes of the ice grapes, he has a way to improve its quality, and it is not too high, it is just to reach the level of the best ice grapes that humans can cultivate

"Ingredient analysis, inferior ingredients, can consume system potential points to transform, medium transformation, requires 100 system upgrade potential points, transformation top, requires 200 system upgrade potential points, top ingredients will have additional effects reflected, the effect is random. ”

It's been a long time since I've used the system to cheat, Zhou Yi feels very kind, and he deserves Willie's bad luck. Although there are a lot of 200 upgrade potential points, and since the activation of the main profession, Zhou Yi can no longer obtain upgrade potential points by absorbing cheats such as treasure gas, fortunately, France is not only beautiful but also a lazy, leisurely excesse, in Paris can automatically get 20 upgrade potential points every day, after coming to Bordeaux, the land of wine, it has grown to 25 per day, 200 upgrade potential points are really nothing, but it is just a waste of eight days, Zhou Yi is not lacking time.

Without hesitation, he chose to transform the top ingredients, and with Zhou Yi's hands caressing, the dozens of ice grapes he picked out immediately became fresh, originally slightly shriveled, and also became full, especially the change in color, these ice grapes were originally biased towards white grape varieties, after his transformation, the skin was still white and transparent, but the flesh revealed a faint blue.

"The ingredients are transformed, and the additional effect is Blue Dream"

Blue Dream?

Zhou Yi looked carefully, only to see that the orchid under the peel flowed like water waves, it was really like a dream, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up the original granulation tool prepared in advance, just like the garlic mortar used by the Chinese people, and gently mashed the ice grape after putting it in

Granulation and juicing are the most critical steps in hand-brewing red wine, and the level of winemakers is divided by this. Granuling, pay attention to the peel and fruit grains at the same time, the more authentic the kung fu, the better the red wine color will be, although Zhou Yi uses the most primitive and difficult tools when granulating, but every time is contained in the internal qi, under the subtle control of the nine turns of Xuanjin, almost this step has reached a perfect level

"Okay, the next step is to squeeze the juice, and then add this bottle of third-grade red wine, and add the new grape juice to the new wine that has been initially fermented, I'm afraid I'm the only one who will do this, right?"

Zhou Yi smiled smugly, filtered the blue dreamy juice and added it to the red wine, and then held the red wine bottle in his hand, and the internal qi seemed to be imported without money.

Accelerate fermentation!

His method is not as simple as adding juice and then fermenting it with internal qi, the Dionysian-level analytical ability allows him to master the most perfect rationing plan, and the internal qi penetrates into the bottle, and the leisurely heart is also immediately activated, turning stones into gold! The red wine that has been fermented for the first time in the bottle and the juice added after it are detected by the leisurely heart and internal qi, as if the fingers are as clear as the lines, and even let Zhou Yi faintly touch the inner mystery of the two molecules, and with a movement of his heart, the two molecules are perfectly combined, not only surpassing each other, but also forming a new substance, which is the improved red wine!

"Hehe, what's your name?"

Zhou Yi held the improved bottle of wine and nodded with satisfaction: "Blue Dream, Mary Winery, well, let's call Lady Mary's Blue Dream, good name!"
