Chapter 1154: Out of the wine
For Hao Chau, who has devoted his life to taking care of the winery, wine production is definitely a big deal, and it is no wonder that this old French man, who has always been very kind, seems so strict at this time.
Xiao Ping and Pierre both respected Pierre's serious and strict attitude towards work, and the two of them restrained their smiles at the same time, and said to Hao Sue seriously: "We are ready, please start!"
Hao Suo nodded solemnly, and then instructed the workers of the winery: "Young men, go and bring the barrels up!"
A few young workers answered, and then hurried into the cellar.
Since Xiao Ping bought the winery, he has invested in a series of renovations of the winery. Nowadays, there are not only elevators that lead to the cellars, but even special electric forklifts to carry heavy kegs. It didn't take long for the electric forklift to slowly drive out of the elevator, and in front of the forklift was a huge wine keg.
Under the personal command of Hao Sue, the forklift slowly put the barrel on the platform that had been prepared long ago. After the forklift slowly retreated, Hao Chau came to the side of the wine barrel and announced to everyone: "Everyone, from now on, the Holy Pot Winery will officially start to produce wine, this is also our first time to produce wine, I hope God willing, we can make the winery have a good start!"
After a brief speech, Haucer took it upon himself to open the lid of the sealed barrel, then carefully pulled out a tube of red wine from it and carefully placed it into the wine glass that had been prepared long ago.
Hao Chau almost couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass, shake it a few times, and then leaned it to the end of his nose to smell the aroma of red wine deeply. Everyone, including Pierre, watched Haucer's expression nervously, for fear of seeing him disappointed.
Although everyone knows that the grapes are of good variety, the oak barrels used for winemaking are also superb. But there are too many unpredictable factors in the winemaking process. Even with the best grape varieties and barrels, no one can guarantee that the two will make a good wine together. So everybody was very nervous.
And Xiao Ping may be the most relaxed of all. After all, he had already made a batch of wine from the same grape variety and oak barrels, and he had been praised by the insiders. Therefore, Xiao Ping can be sure that the wine produced by the winery will also be of good quality. Although it is not as good as his own wine, it will definitely be a high-quality red wine.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Hao Sue showed a satisfied smile on his face, he continued to shake the wine glass, and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "This wine smells...... It's the best I've ever smelled in my career!"
With Hao Sue's words, everyone's hanging hearts were put down. Although I haven't officially tasted the taste of red wine yet, as long as the wine aroma is as good as Hao Chau said, the quality of the wine is always not there.
The relieved crowd took out the red wine in a glass tube and put it in the glass, and then shook the glass to smell the aroma of the red wine. Even Xiao Ping got a glass of red wine.
If there were still people who were worried that Hao Chau was a bit exaggerated, but after smelling the wine in person, no one doubted him. All of a sudden, all kinds of words of praise came one after another, all of which praised the excellent aroma of the wine.
After allowing the wine to fully contact the air and undergo proper oxidation, it is finally time to taste the wine. It was Hao Chau who first took a sip of red wine, and then agitated his tongue to fill the entire mouth with red wine, and immediately showed a surprised expression, so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Hurriedly swallow the red wine in your mouth. Hao Chau immediately exclaimed: "Good wine, really good wine! Our holy pot red wine will definitely shine at this year's tasting!"
Everyone knows that Hao Chau's requirements for quality are almost strict, and when he used to drink every year, his most expression was shaking his head and sighing. This is used to express dissatisfaction with the quality of the wine. And this year, Hao Chau actually praised the red wine endlessly, and also said the "bold words" that could shine at the tasting, which shows how satisfied he is with the red wine.
With that in mind. Others tasted the wine in their glasses with a bit of anticipation. After the wine is eaten, almost everyone is intoxicated. Agree that Haucer is indeed not exaggerating.
Today's Xiao Ping knows a little about red wine, and he can also taste the winery's newly brewed red wine is really good. It's much better than the wines I bought at a high price at a wine auction in Paris a few years ago. With such a good quality of red wine, coupled with the already well-known brand of "Holy Pot", it is undoubtedly expected that it will be sought after after being introduced to the market.
Pierre had already drunk all the red wine in the glass, poured another glass and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Dear Xiao, I have seen your ability once, in less than two years, you can actually make such a good red wine in the winery, it can be described as a miracle!"
Xiao Ping smiled modestly: "I just happen to have the right grape varieties and good oak, this is the credit of everyone, without the hard work of everyone in the winery, I would never have been able to make such a good wine." ”
In fact, anyone who knows a little about winemaking knows that if you want to make high-quality red wine, you need to look at the material and the technology. Château Sacred Pot was able to produce such a good red wine this year, thanks to the grape varieties introduced by Chau Ping and the new batch of oak barrels. Everyone knew that Xiao Ping was just modest when he said this, but it did make Hao Sue and other winery staff very comfortable, and felt that it was everyone's luck to have such a boss.
Hao Sue is a real person, although Xiao Ping's words made him feel very comfortable, but he still said honestly: "Mr. Xiao, you are a bit too much to say this. To be able to make such a good wine, the most important thing is the grapes and barrels, and then the efforts of everyone, and you are the most credit. ”
"Everyone has credit, and no one can do without it. Xiao Ping happily announced: "In view of the very good quality of this batch of red wines, it can be expected to be very popular, so I have decided to give each staff member of the winery a reward equivalent to four months' salary, thank you for your hard work over the past year!"
As soon as Xiao Ping's words came out, he immediately attracted a burst of cheers. Even according to the minimum wage of the winery, the salary for four months is more than 10,000 euros. Senior managers like Hao Chau can get tens of thousands of euros in rewards, which naturally makes everyone very happy.
However, in the midst of the cheers, Hao Chau seemed a little unhappy, and there was not much smile on his face, which made him look a little special among the other smiling employees.
Xiao Ping quickly noticed Hao Sue, who seemed a little out of place with the others, and asked him with a smile: "Hao Suo, you don't seem to be very happy, what's going on?"
Hao Sue glanced at Xiao Ping angrily and asked loudly, "Mr. Xiao, you seem to have forgotten something, right?!" (To be continued......)
