Chapter 100: The Winery

"Charles, where we're going now. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

"ChΓ’teau de la Moon, Zhao, I think you've wanted to taste Bordeaux red wine before, so I'll let you drink enough today." ”

Charles Thomas, who had a childish look, winked at Zhao Lingling from the rearview mirror. It's a miraculous thing for a very old woman to have this kind of expression.

Su Yishui Su Yirou sat next to Zhao Lingling, looking out the window, the vast grape plantation of Bordeaux was like a green wave, since entering this plantation five minutes ago, the time to escape was far away.

"Zhao, what's the big deal with calling out a few of our old guys in a hurry this time, you know, we are all very busy in our respective fields, there are really not many opportunities to get together like this, I also want to thank you, oh yes, I heard that you went to Matilda not long ago, and I heard that it was about the multinational brands that entered Europe, I haven't seen you grow older and stronger for a few years, didn't you say that you want to wash your hands in a golden basin? Charles Thomas, who is in his fifties, began to talk endlessly, and the French accent made the mini translators worn by several girls suffer greatly. "I guess it has something to do with these girls, haha, you are still deliberately hiding it, it seems that you have to hide a little secret, well, tell us when you get to the manor in a while. ”

Zhao Lingling only said one sentence. "Charles, you're still the same as before, and you talk a lot, no wonder Abby doesn't like you. ”

"Haha, everyone is a community of interests, they all come together for their own interests, as for the problem of feelings, it doesn't matter if it's a little less, in the end, even if she is arrogant, she still asks me. After all, the national general wholesaler of cosmetics brands is my company, and it is unrealistic for her not to deal with me. ”

It took three seconds for this sentence to reach Su Yishui's ears from the time it was translated, and when she understood it, she was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the French beauty in front of her, who was not amazing, had such an identity, and then looked at Zhao Lingling with a puzzled gaze, and got a positive nod and reply from the other party.

"I'm a little tired of the cosmetics industry. The money comes too fast, the sales are huge, especially those big brands, such as Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder and other local brands, every time a new product is released, we are not worried about sales, but this is only a few years ago, with the emergence of emerging brands and a large number of homogeneous goods on sale, the market has become saturated, we do wholesale business in the price increase is also a good consideration to figure it out, but also with some small gifts and discounts on the price. It's not easy to do anything now, and it seems that the money that used to be easy to make is now quite difficult. ”

"That's why we came to you in the first place, Charles. ”

"Hey, Zhao, what do you mean by that, oh I see, as Matilda said, you plan to wholesale some of it from me and sell it in your country, right? ”

"Hehe, you guessed right. There's an exchange rate issue between the EU and our country, you know. ”

"Yes. I guess there's also the issue of tariffs. ”

"yes, you know that very well. ”

"When you go through customs, you have to go through this process, which is nothing for me as a travel expert. Then Zhao. Explain the details and ideas to me, and you should have already drawn up a plan. ”

"There's that kind of thing yet, we'll get to the manor soon, and I'll tell you about it when we get to the manor, and I'll get drunk today. ”

"Haha. Of course, if you are drunk, you can sleep in the manor, the manor itself belongs to Abby, she is the owner of the house, and you and you can enjoy the French wine and food to your heart's content. ”

As he spoke, Charles drove his jeep through the neat green lawn towards the manor not far away, with Rococo buildings, retro-style wooden gates, and clean roads on both sides, not even a single tree. Only the occasional distant chirping of turtledoves breaks the silence here, and in the distance is the sea breeze brought by the Atlantic, faint, slightly salty.

After driving into the wooden gate, it is the main body of the manor, the huge marble cornerstone is more than a man high, a row of marble stairs connect to the gate, in front of the door there are several men and women waiting, in terms of age, they must be more than a few hundred years old.

"Oh, my dear Zhao, what kind of fragrant wind blew you into our beautiful land?"

"Oh, old immortal Abby, you're still alive and well, haha, I've heard that Bordeaux wine is good, I said I wanted to taste it last time I left, so come and enjoy it at your Moon Manor this time." ”

"Haha, come on, I have more than fifty barrels of old wine here, as long as you want to drink, it will definitely make you enjoy it." ”

"Well, you're welcome, oh, Joel, Mary, Hebron, hello. Zhao Lingling greeted several people next to her, among whom were two men and three women.

"Those are the little friends you brought, they are all cute little girls, Zhao, introduce us to them, oops, have you left your job to work as a nanny?"

"Abby, you're really good at laughing, these are the protagonists of today, and they're the main factor in bringing everyone together, come, Yishui Yirou, come here. ”

Zhao Lingling beckoned to the twins, and the two sisters hurriedly greeted them.

Damn, there are already a lot of cracks in such an old staircase, why hasn't anyone cleaned it up, my feet hurt.

Su Yishui complained in a low voice, endured the pain in his feet and walked to the side of several people with his sister, and nodded to them as polite.

"Let me introduce them to you. ”

"Zhao, I see that you treat it unfairly, there are two little Loli below, this sea breeze is not a good enjoyment, let's go inside and eat and chat, I have prepared authentic French food for you." ”

"Okay, let's go in and talk, Yishui Yirou, what do you say?"

What objections can the two sisters have, they politely followed behind a few people, and walked towards the gate of the manor, of course, they didn't forget to call the two little Lori.

The two little tails followed, and a few servants, apparently working on the manor, saw that the little sisters with their big luggage were having a hard time walking up the stairs, so they took their luggage and led them into the manor.

As soon as they entered the manor, a cold breath rushed towards them, and Su Yishui and Su Yirou shivered.

"Wow, it's so cold, it's like you've been in an ice cellar. ”

Although the outside temperature in France in January is around -10 degrees, the temperature inside the estate is obviously even lower.

"Hehe, that's natural, this is a winery, mainly a place to preserve wine, not suitable for human habitation at all, the temperature of red wine should be kept at about minus 5 to 10 degrees is the best, not only can be stored for a long time, but also can remove the uncomfortable astringency, if the temperature is lower, it will be more advantageous to preserve." ”

"Hey, Mr. Zhao knows very well. ”

"That's nature, it's all a little thing. ”

"Now you are learning and selling, sister, don't always flatter Mr. Zhao. ”

"It's disappointing that you girl doesn't know how to be humorous. ”

The group walked through the vast empty manor, beams of wood above their heads, deeply embedded in the walls on either side, and not far from them were the huge barrels that Abby described, each nearly two people tall, made of pure oak, some of which had been mottled and apparently had been left for a long time.

"Okay, please sit down, this is our meeting room, it seems to be a little chilling. Ha ha. Abby led the group into a marble room with thick carpets on the floor, curtains on the windows, white European furniture throughout, and a fireplace on one side of the wall that crackled with pine burning.

Then Lin and Nikita, who came with her, also walked in, and everyone sat down in their designated seats.

In front of Su Yishui and his entourage were a fruit bowl with knives and forks and two delicious dishes, one was a fat foie gras with a crystal clear appearance, and the other was a French baked snail, which was much larger than the usual snails.

"Please use it a little bit, I don't know much about your tastes, so I cooked it the traditional way. ”

"Abby, I didn't expect your dishes to look beautiful, well, they tasted good. Zhao Lingling picked up a piece of fat foie gras and put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it.

"Haha, Zhao is still so informal, come, don't be polite, hurry up and use a little, if you don't eat, you won't give me face as a master, come and wait, pour wine for you." ”

After Abby said this, a waiter with a white wig brought a few crystal cups and put them in front of several people, and then bowed his head to ask the owner Abby some questions, and then he took a bottle of wine from the wine shelf behind him, and held it in front of Zhao Lingling with white gloves in both hands.

"Twelve-year-old red wine, well, okay, open it up. ”

As the cork is opened, there is a faint smell in the air, which makes people feel intoxicated after smelling it.

The red elixir was poured into the wine glass, and at this moment, the girls did not know what to do, they knew very little about the process of tasting, and there were still a few French people who looked at them and seemed to be smiling.

"Hey, you taste it, this is a rare wine, oh, I understand, hehe, you don't know much about the process of wine tasting, this is easy to do, you follow me to learn." (To be continued.) )
