Chapter 10 The Doorway to Winemaking
In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the fruit growers, Ye Chen pushed Anna out as the owner of the winery. www.biquge.info Few people knew the truth of the matter, and Antoine did not tell his daughter and wife, so when they saw Anna again, the two women thought that Anna was the new owner of the winery, and Anna herself was also beautiful, and after a while, the three women chatted. Of course, most of them were Antovan's two women, who said that Anna was just nodding or shaking her head there.
Seeing the interest of his wife and daughter, Antoine frowned more than once.
Although Ye Chen used Anna to temporarily survive the crisis, he was always wary of this vampire.
"Don't worry, Antoine, Anna isn't the evil monster you thought she was." Ye Chen saw Antoine's strange expression, and couldn't help but call out for Anna.
Antoine finally took his eyes off Anna's body and moved it to Ye Chen's body.
"I hope you're right."
"Uh......"
After a brief pleasantries, dinner officially began.
This is the hottest time in Provence, and people generally choose to eat outdoors to avoid the stuffiness in their rooms. Naturally, the Antoine family did the same, and they chose to eat in a shady place on the platform.
Sitting on a bamboo chair, the breeze blows, making people feel relaxed.
In order to entertain the guests, the dinner is naturally very rich.
Provencal fish soup, cucumber in red sauce, chicken soup with walnuts, sweet and sour lettuce, mushroom egg rolls and other French dishes Ye Chen was dazzled, and before the dishes were ready, Ye Chen's eyes were already straight.
When the Antoine family's prayers were over, dinner finally began, although there were no chopsticks, but under the impetus of a strong appetite, Ye Chen still ate a ditch full of trenches, which made the two hostesses have a good impression of him.
Compared with Ye Chen, Anna eats very carefully, every time she eats, she eats in small bites, and she is full of ladylike fan.
After the dinner, Marie poured the winery's own red wine for everyone, and Ye Chen discussed the winery with Antoine while drinking the red wine.
Obviously, the future of the winery also bothered Antoine, but like Ye Chen, he didn't think of how to get the winery out of the predicament.
The two men sighed there for a long time, and the bell at the gate of the small courtyard suddenly rang, Ye Chen turned his head to look, and found that it was Henry, who had not appeared before.
He had just gotten off his motorcycle, holding an envelope-like object in his hand, grinning as he walked towards the platform.
"How many times have you been told that you can't ride a motorcycle in the vineyard!" Seeing Henry, Antoine was angry and reprimanded loudly.
"Dad, can't you stop scolding Henry in front of the guests?" Hearing Antoine reprimand her husband, Marie complained unhappily.
"Haha, Miss Anna is here too." Henry was quite thick-skinned, and pretended not to hear Antoine's words, but greeted Anna flatteringly.
"Hello, Mr. Henry." Anna stood up and said politely.
Seeing that Anna actually respected herself so much, Henry's heart was overjoyed, and the whole person was fluttering. On the side, Mary's face gradually turned blue.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Chen hurriedly interjected: "Hey, Henry, what are you holding in your hand, it seems to be very important?" ”
After being reminded by Ye Chen, Henry finally remembered what he was holding, he glanced at Ye Chen angrily, and then grinned at Anna again.
"Miss Anna, you would never have imagined what I had in my hand!"
"Don't sell it." Antoine said impatiently.
The father-in-law made an order, how dare Henry disobey, he had to say directly: "This is an invitation to this year's wine tasting in Provence!" ”
"Wine tasting!" Hearing Henry's words, several exclamations rang out in unison.
"What is a wine tasting?" Ye Chen asked, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to Anna, Anna willingly handed the envelope to Ye Chen.
"Every year the Provençal government organizes a grand wine tasting to stimulate the wine producers and to promote the local wines. Every year, the wine that wins the tasting will have a good price, and if it wins the championship, it will become the object of all wine merchants! Antoine looked at the invitation in Ye Chen's hand, and Antoine said foamingly.
"And most importantly, Château Person hasn't been invited to a tasting for two years!" Henry also added on the side.
"That's a good thing." Ye Chen nodded, thinking in his heart how to use this wine tasting to alleviate the dilemma of the Posong Winery.
"Of course, it's a good thing, the organizer gave us an invitation to show that the status of the winery's legal appellation is still recognized!" Antoine nodded hurriedly.
"They don't admit that it matters, what I want to know is how to make money?" Ye Chen felt that Antoine's understanding of the meaning of this invitation seemed to be out of line, and he couldn't help but correct.
"It's easy to go to a wine tasting, but it's not easy to make money......" Henry muttered as he said.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"It's very simple, if you want to sell your own wine at a good price, the easiest way is to let the wine get a ranking at the wine tasting, but the wine tasting will be very strict every year, and if you want to get the ranking, you can only rely on strength, only the quality of the wine can get the ranking, so as to get the order." Henry calmed down and patiently explained.
"But the wines of Château Person do not have this strength, although the vineyards of the winery are the best in the town, but we do not have qualified winemakers, and it is common sense that without winemakers you cannot make delicious wines." After Henry's words were finished, everyone fell silent.
After the excitement of getting the invitation, people suddenly realized that even if they got the invitation, it didn't mean much to change the status quo.
"Then we'll hire a great winemaker this year, and it doesn't matter if we spend a little more." Ye Chen is splitting mountains and building bridges in the water, and his idea is quite direct.
Henry sneered, Antoine sighed, and then explained: "A good winemaker is equivalent to a world-famous artist, how can it be so easy to invite, and for so many years, Château Person has become a joke in the whole of Provence, and there is that winemaker who dares to come and take over this mess, what if the sign is smashed." ”
"Otherwise, go to Elway for help, he will definitely be able to find a way!" Mary suddenly suggested.
"Don't mention that brute!" Antoine yelled loudly, and Ye Chen and Anna were confused.
