354 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Looking at Lu Li's playful expression, Mark's mood was still unfazed, and he maintained a polite smile, "I guess, I'm also one of the guests, right?" But there was a hint of a smile in his words, and he could feel that he was expressing friendship. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Li looked at Mark's expression seriously, and finally smiled dumbly, "Of course." Always welcome. "This Mark is really a wonderful person, until now, Lu Li still can't figure out Mark's routine, it's really interesting.
Lu Li poured another glass of wine, about a third, and then listened to Mark, "That's fine." ”
Mark doesn't seem to want to fill the whole cup like Richard, and small details like this can tell the difference in personality. Lu Li suddenly became a little curious, Mark's origin, what is the relationship between him and Kumo Racecourse, and why did he come to Texas?
It is better to be respectful than to obey fate. Lu Li put away the wine bottle, then pinched the glass of the wine glass, so as not to affect the temperature of the palm of his hand to affect the temperature of the wine, and then affect the taste, then turned around and handed the wine glass to Mark.
Gentleman Mark politely took the wine glass and nodded to Lu Li with a smile. Lu Li then turned to look at Jessica, Randy, and Cole, "Do you need to taste some?"
"Of course, why not?" Cole was the first to speak, tapping the rim of the glass and motioning for Lu Li to pour the wine.
Lu Li put his left hand behind his back and regained the state he used to work in the olive garden, "Obey, sir." Then he began to serve the three of them, and that serious professional posture made Kele and the others exchange a look, but they couldn't help it.
After pouring the wine, Lu Li had time to look at Richard, only to see that he was frowning, tasting carefully, his expression was unpredictable, difficult to judge, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. It's the same wine that the ranch members tasted for the first time.
Ten days is not enough time to make a huge difference in wine.
Although objectively speaking, the fermentation will change every day, but generally speaking, the fermentation of wine is calculated in years, even for New World wines, the period of appreciation period is relatively short, that is also calculated in months, just a few days, it is impossible to produce too many changes, especially new wines that have just been made.
This is also the reason why Lu Li knew that Tony's excuse just now was unreliable. However, he did not poke Tony. To be honest, although this batch of wines is very tanninish, the taste is really very special, rich and layered, and it is really impossible to wonder what kind of changes will happen to the taste after fermentation.
Even he wanted a drink.
Then, Lu Li noticed Mark standing next to him out of his sight.
Mark still didn't start drinking, he was still observing the color of the wine, sniffing the mouth of the wine glass from time to time, and even raised the wine glass and put it under the light, carefully watching the color change under the light, as if he was not missing any change in concentration.
His meticulous expression was as if a scientist was studying a micromicroscope under a microscope, and he was as attentive and dedicated, even if he was no less than Randy who set up the booth.
This expression looks slightly funny, especially in the messy exhibition site, this kind of professional dedication is really out of place, and there is an inexplicable sense of joy.
But Lu Li didn't laugh, because Mark's movements were very professional, which reminded him of Romani Conti's Nick.
Lu Li did not interrupt Mark's appreciation, put the wine aside, observed Mark intently, and began to wait for Mark's response.
Richard was a friend, and even if the wines on the ranch weren't as direct as he would have liked—especially given the weight of the tannins, it would be too impersonal to use too many words, but Mark was different. Lu Li had an inexplicable feeling that Mark would tell the truth.
Perhaps, this is the intuition of the sixth sense.
Even under Lu Li's gaze, Mark was still unhurried and impatient, maintaining his own rhythm slowly, and each step had a pleasing elegance, even more detailed than Nick, not professional, but a natural ease.
Lu Li has never been in contact with the aristocracy, and he doesn't know what the life of the aristocracy is like, but he knows that there are many declining aristocrats living in Europe, but they still continue to be quiet and elegant in their bones. Wine is one of the subjects they must learn, along with painting, dance, music, literature, etc., all of which are the only way to precipitate their temperament.
Mark in front of him has such a temperament.
Of course, there is also some looming in Nick. It can be seen that even if you are not an aristocrat, under the influence of many years, the foundation can be slowly cultivated. This is called cultivating sentiment.
Mark unhurriedly finished all his steps, tasted the first bite, not too meticulous, simply swallowed, felt the flavor, and then tasted the second bite, carefully felt the level of the tip of the tongue, a sip of wine, drank for more than ten seconds, and felt that it was already stuffy in the mouth.
Just when Lu Li thought that Mark had finished tasting it, Mark took a third sip again. The expression that hasn't changed too much makes it impossible to see why.
Mark finally put the cup down, and only then did he notice Lu Li's gaze, raised his head, and showed a friendly smile, but there was confusion in his eyes, as if to say, "What's wrong?"
Lu Li looked at Mark's innocent eyes and smiled dumbly, "The way you looked just now reminded me of the chemistry teacher who was doing research in the laboratory. This is talking about the male protagonist in the American drama "Breaking Bad", making a joke, the male protagonist is a chemistry teacher, and then uses his knowledge to make/poison/product.
However, Mark didn't understand Lu Li's words, and just said with a smile, "Wine tasting is the same as appreciating art, you need to calm down and study slowly." ”
Lu Li's joke was exchanged for a serious reply from the other party, which was a bit embarrassing. However, Mark didn't seem to have any understanding of "Breaking Bad", and Lu Li could only be deflated.
"Yes, it's a study, and it's not that simple, I'm not even getting started right now. Lu Li also pretended that nothing had happened just now, and looked like he was discussing business.
Mark laughed because of Lu Li's words, "Hehe, you are modest, I like this joke." ”
What is going on with this strange joke, which made Lu Li stunned for a moment, why didn't he hear the joke of this sentence just now? He has been an intern reporter for more than two years, and he has seen many special people, but this is really the first time for Mark to be this type.
"Modesty?" Lu Li felt that he couldn't keep up with Mark's rhythm, or rather, since they met, the two had not spoken a few words, and Lu Li had no chance to figure out Mark's rhythm, and at this moment, he was suddenly confused.
Mark didn't go any further, just smiled mysteriously. Because he was not familiar with it, Lu Li didn't understand what Mark's smile meant, and he was thinking about whether he should take the initiative to talk, or use his ability as a reporter to fight well-wouldn't that be too rude?
But before his thoughts could surge, Raymond asked from the side, "How is it?"
The voice of the question was not alarmed, but there was no curiosity or anything like that, just a polite inquiry.
"You should give it a try. Mark replied with a smile.
Such a simple sentence was nothing in Lu Li's ears, but Raymond showed a look of surprise, and even Robinson, who was exchanging cheese with Jessica, stopped his movements and turned his head to look, his face without too many expressions showed a hint of surprise, and the atmosphere in front of the booth suddenly became interesting.
As if he didn't notice, Mark picked up his glass again and took a sip.
Seeing Mark's action, Raymond and Robinson exchanged glances, and then Raymond looked at Lu Li with a smile, "Excuse me, can I taste it?" There was a hint of expectation and urgency in his eyes.
Robinson also put down the cheese in his hand and walked to the side, although he didn't speak, but the action couldn't be more direct.
"Of course. Although he didn't know what was going on, Lu Li's reaction was not slow, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Raymond and Robinson.
Robinson picked up his glass and saluted Lu Li to express his gratitude.
Then, Raymond and Robinson also followed the rules and steps meticulously, from the color to the smell, and began to taste slowly.
Mark was not in a hurry, standing next to him with a wine glass, quietly waiting for the two of them to move.
For a while, the front of the booth was quiet, and the three of them all put on a serious look, and Tony didn't figure out the situation, and looked at Lu Li in surprise, asking with his eyes.
But Lu Li was also at a loss, not knowing what was going on, but looking at Richard.
Richard smiled dumbly, opened his mouth, as if to explain, but found that he could not explain it for a while, and could only say simply and clearly, "They are all people who have studied wine, and they are old lovers." ”
Everyone exchanged a puzzled look: Why did wine lovers come to Texas, and weren't they from Coomore Racecourse with Richard?
However, no one continued to delve into it. It's a general statement, but it makes sense, and there are a lot of wine lovers in Europe, and there are also a lot of people who like to delve into it.
Richard spoke, and the three of them did not respond, and their ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window, and they studied the wine in their hands wholeheartedly, and the gesture showed a little professionalism. As a result, everyone's eyes will not converge on the past, looking forward to the follow-up reaction.
Mark waited for Raymond and Robinson to both take a second sip before he spoke, "Well, how many flavors have you tasted?"
