Chapter 100 The Hennessy Cup does not stop
Truth be told, in such a place, it is simply too common to fight and throw bottles. All those who play art, regardless of level, must have a top temper. The hearts of the top ones are higher than the sky, even if most of them look like bean sprouts, they all feel that they are special masters, and they will start to work without saying a word, especially after drinking some wine. So it stands to reason that Guo Lie shouldn't care.
But Xiao Peng's bottle just now grazed the tip of his nose like lightning, which startled him, and when he saw Xiao Peng carrying another bottle of wine, he was about to throw the second bottle at any time.
Yang Meng stood up and walked in front of Guo Lie: "What did you just say? If you drink foreign wine, you have to drink fake? ”
Xiao Peng patted Yang Meng: "Be calmer." ”
"What do you want to do?" Di Wei, what's going on with your friends?" Guo Lie took a step back in fright and shouted at Di Wei.
Di Wei shrugged: "Brother Lie, I really suggest that you hurry up and find real wine for them, these are all masters, I really can't stop them." ”
Guo Lie is definitely not an artist, but he is definitely an excellent businessman, I saw him quickly wave his hands and say, "Brother Xiao." Don't be impulsive, I didn't say those words to you just now, you are Di Wei's friend, how can I not entertain my friends? Hennessy VSOP I really don't have it here, but I have a bottle of Hennessy Paradis cognac. I use this to express my apologies, what do you think?" Although he didn't know Xiao Peng and the others, he was familiar with Di Wei, Di Wei belonged to the kind of person who played exquisitely in all directions, but he didn't hesitate to stand on Xiao Peng's side just now, which means that he would rather offend himself than offend Xiao Peng and others, what does this mean?
This is not a plot to watch TV, how can there be so many fools who have been in business for so long and have not grown dead and alive? When it is time to retire, they will definitely retreat, do not make trouble for themselves, and make money with peace of mind. That's what makes a good businessman.
Xiao Peng tilted his head to look at Li Chen: "What do you think?"
Li Chen nodded: "I hope it won't be fake this time." ”
When Guo Lie heard this, he hurriedly ran to the house to get the wine. Xiao Peng asked Li Chen: "Let me ask you a question, don't laugh at me, what are these brandy, cognac, and whiskey? We really don't drink these things, we don't know much about them." ”
Li Chen smiled: "Okay, you really have to understand this, it's not easy to drink Erguotou in a foreign country." It's not as complicated as you think, and the difference is actually the raw material: in the West, the liquor made from grain is called whiskey after distillation, if the grain or potatoes are distilled completely, it is called vodka, the wine distilled is called brandy, and the liquor distilled from mead or sugar cane is rum. As for the so-called 'cognac', it is the origin of brandy, and like champagne, only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be called champagne. Cognac is a brandy that can only be called cognac produced in the Cognac region of France. ”
Xiao Peng thought about it: "Then the Hennessy VSOP you just ordered is brandy, right? It is made by wine distillation, so what does VSOP mean?"
"Basic grading of brandy. Li Chen explained: "After the brandy is made, the more you put it, the more valuable it is. The cognac is represented by these letters, which are VS, VSOP and XO, with VS also being three stars, meaning that the youngest of the blends used in this bottle has been aged in oak barrels for at least two years, while VSOP means that the youngest of the blend has been aged in oak barrels for at least four years, while XO means that the youngest of the blend has been in oak barrels for more than 10 years, and some particularly good XO cognacs may be aged in oak barrels for more than 20 years. ”
Xiao Peng thought for a while and asked, "What kind of Hennessy Paradis cognac is that Guo Lie said just now, what is the level of Cognac?"
Li Chen smiled: "Actually, it was just the basic grading just now, and there are other grading methods for brandy, such as 'EXTRA' grade, 'VIEUX' grade, 'previous vintage' grade, etc. The Hennessy Paradis he just said is definitely a good wine, XO grade. Arguably one of the best brandies in Hennessy, the wines used are aged between 50 and 100 years old. In fact, this wine has another name in China, not called Paradis, but 'cup Mo stop', isn't there a word in ancient Chinese poems 'will enter the wine, the cup will not stop'? I have to say, this transliterated Chinese name is really good. Definitely a good wine. ”
Yang Meng leaned over and asked the most critical question: "How much money is that wine?"
Li Chen heard Yang Meng's words, and replied with a smile: "This wine has long been out of print, and there are not many on the market now, and it is generally in the hands of collectors. After speaking, Li Chen stretched out a slap.
Yang Meng looked disgusted when he heard this: "It's not expensive to say that." ”
"Not expensive?" Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "You were willing to spend money to buy that wine before?"
Yang Meng gave Xiao Peng a middle finger: "I didn't have any money, I definitely didn't buy it, but now that I have money, why don't I buy it? Isn't making money just to improve the quality of life? You go and ask where you have it? I'll go wholesale a dozen bottles when I catch up, let's go home and drink it slowly, wipe it, isn't it just a bottle of wine, this bottle of wine is mine, I'll settle the bill in a while!"
Xiao Peng also gave Yang Meng a middle finger: "Damn, don't you ask Guo Lie if he will ask us for money?"
"Oh, yes, if he dares to take money, I'll find him some iron hooks to hang on the wall. Yang Meng said indignantly: "If we are deceived, we still dare to ask for money? Made, if you don't beat him, you will cheapen him!"
Xiao Peng stopped talking and waited for Guo Lie to come back. But now that I think about it, what Mengzi said is also right, why do you make money? Isn't it just to improve the quality of life? You have earned 100 million yuan every day, eat bran and eat vegetables every day, wear street stalls and go shopping? That is a special person who is purely sick.
No, it's time to consider improving the quality of life! At least I can't wear 'ABIBAS' sportswear anymore, well, I want to buy and buy ADIDAS in the future, I support the genuine I am proud!
After a while, I saw Guo Lie walking out with a gray box, and I don't know how long it had been there, and there was a layer of dust on the box. Guo Lie and Xiao Tang asked for a rag, wiped the dust clean and opened the box, and a gourd-shaped wine bottle appeared in front of everyone.
Guo Lie opened the wine, poured a glass for each of the people, and asked Li Chen: "This gentleman, it seems that he is an expert in this way, why don't you taste this wine?"
Li Chen nodded, took a small sip of the cup, closed his eyes and savored it: "Good wine, it's an authentic cup." ”
"How did you tell the difference?" Yang Meng asked curiously.
"The cup is very recognizable with floral notes of roses and a mix of cardamom and cinnamon. You drink the wine in your mouth, and you will feel the taste as round as velvet. This is definitely a genuine cup of good wine!" Li Chen exclaimed, thought about it and added: "At that time, my father bought twenty bottles, and to this day he has always said that he regrets buying less, and he is a big regret in his life."
Everyone: "。。。。。。 "The second half of the sentence should be ignored, this is Hongguoguo's show-off!
Guo Lie heard Li Chen's words, smiled slightly, and picked up his wine glass: "Friends came from afar, but I didn't arrange it, there is such a big misunderstanding today, please forgive me for being inconsiderate." This glass of wine expresses my apologies, and I give you a glass. I hope you all enjoyed your evening here. ”
Yang Meng couldn't wait for a long time, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup directly, and after drinking, he frowned and glared at Li Chen: "Damn, what you said is so lively, why can't I drink the aroma of roses, the mixed taste of cardamom and cinnamon?
Li Chen was also anxious: "Such a good wine is not your way of drinking! You are a cow chewing peonies! Boss Guo, what real wine do you have here?"
Guo Lie didn't answer him after hearing this, but looked at Xiao Tang, who listened: "Uh, we have a box of black here, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Chen nodded: "All move out and feed this cow!"
Yang Meng didn't dislike it, he opened a bottle directly, and drank a big glass of coo-dong: "Wine has to be drunk like this to be enjoyable, that's like you, that's still called drinking?"
Li Chen didn't reply to him, but clinked glasses with Xiao Peng: "Brother Peng, let's drink slowly and let him take a big gulp." It's just right that he doesn't drink it, so we can drink more if we save it. ”
Yang Meng was also simply, directly picked up the box of wine and walked to the sofa in the corner, sat there, poured himself a drink, and was leisurely.
After Guo Lie asked Xiao Tang to clean up the glass shards on the ground, he returned to his side, since Xiao Peng's side has been settled, then don't mix it up here. The people here don't look like people to mess with, so let's stay away.
Di Wei looked at Guo Lie, who was running faster than a rabbit, and smiled wryly: "My hunch is right, you are really here to smash the field." ”
"Fuck it, who let him sell fake wine?" Xiao Peng was angry, "How many years have you been playing here? How many years have you drunk fake wine? Don't deny it, you must be called foreign wine every time, this is in line with your character!"
Di Wei was speechless and changed the topic: "I said, it's not like that for the five of us to get together, let's go and do our separate activities! ”
His words were echoed by everyone, Pan Peiyu didn't know where he was going, Li Chen was even more awesome, holding a wine glass in his hand and observing the girl playing with the human body hanging at the door up close, this girl is definitely a problem, order wax for Di Wei. Only Yang Meng was sitting on the sofa eating shredded squid and drinking wine, looking comfortable.
Xiao Peng did it to Yang Meng's side: "Hey, don't you go out to pick up girls?
Yang Meng pointed forward and asked a very deep question: "What do you say the men and women here are drawing?"
This question stopped Xiao Peng: "You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Wait, what does this smell like?"
"Marijuana. Yang Meng replied.
", Mengzi, don't be so crazy if you have money, don't you just play around? What can be touched and what can't be touched, you don't know? Don't eat poisonous and don't do it illegally, you don't understand such a simple truth?" When he heard marijuana, Xiao Peng was a little anxious.
Yang Meng pointed his thumb to the back of his head twice: "It's not me who died, what about the back." ”
