Three days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the annual wine tasting festival in Provence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because he had great expectations for the competition, Ye Chen had already prepared the red wine for the competition two days before the competition, and also came to Mena Town, where the competition was held, one day in advance.

Unlike the small town of Erwin, where Ye Chen used to live, Mena is a village surrounded by large lavender fields, and most of the residents here make a living from lavender cultivation, and tourism is also the main source of income for the town.

On the vicissitudes of cobblestone paths, Ye Chen even met several Chinese couples who were taking wedding photos. And the lavender fields outside the village are full of foreign tourists who come to watch.

Like many villages in France, the town of Mena is a town full of humanity and art. The accumulation of history has made every alley in this town full of vicissitudes, and foreign tourists walking in the alleys have added a modern atmosphere to this town.

At this time, it is the season when lavender is ripe, and the freshly picked lavender is placed on the windowsill at the door of the streets and alleys, and the fragrance of lavender spreads throughout the town. This situation is even more unforgettable.

"Ahh Ahh Leaving the residence, Ye Chen took the three little girls to wander around the alleys of Mena Town with great interest, but Li'er kept sneezing, and she always couldn't help but rub her nose hard, and it didn't take long for her little nose to be rubbed red by her, which looked very funny.

"You seem to have allergies, don't you, why don't we go back first?" Ye Chen looked at Li'er's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but say.

Li'er, who had just sneezed a few times, and was still shining under her nose, waved her hand and rejected Ye Chen.

"No, dragons are never allergic, just wait a minute, Ahh As she spoke, Lil couldn't help but let out a big sneeze again.

"What are allergies?" Anna on the side looked at Ye Chen curiously and asked.

"Ugh." Ye Chen thought for a while and explained simply: "It is that a person's body will react violently to a certain thing, this reaction can be strong or weak, sometimes it is just a sneeze, and sometimes it can be fatal." ”

"Is it like me to the sun?" Anna pondered for a moment, then asked.

"yes, it should be about the same."

"Can allergies be cured?" Anna asked again hopefully.

Ye Chen shook his head.

"It's hard, it's almost incurable."

"Oh......" Anna nodded in disappointment, and then subconsciously pulled down the straw hat on her head to prevent the scorching sun above her head from shining on her skin.

Looking at Anna's disappointed expression, Ye Chen was not very comfortable in his heart, so he had to reach out and pat Anna to show comfort.

Because the wine tasting is held in the town, there are also many people from the wine industry in this town. Some of them came with invitations, and naturally received the warm hospitality of the organizers, and were arranged to live in a lavender manor outside the town, and Ye Chen was one of them.

Some of them are food magazines or small wine merchants, who have a relatively low status in the industry, and of course they can't get invitations to wine tastings, so they just stay in hotels in the town like tourists.

Along the way, Ye Chen saw a lot of people he had met in Lavender Manor before, but because he was not familiar with each other, he didn't say hello.

After resting for one night at Lavender Manor yesterday, Ye Chen also had a general positioning of himself and the strength of Person Winery.

In this wine tasting, the personnel can be roughly divided into three categories, the first category is the main body of the wine tasting, the owners of the major wineries.

The second type is the judge of the tasting, who is usually a well-known winemaker or gourmet, or the head of some well-known wine magazine. At the wine tasting, the wines are ranked according to their scores.

The third group is vintners who, like Elaine, make a profit by selling wine, most of them are sponsors or organizers of the annual wine tasting festival, with the help of which they can discover better wines, and the more famous the wine tasting festival, the more profit they can make.

At the same time, they will also arrange some of their own wineries to participate in the competition, so as to hype up the reputation of the wine and increase the price of the wine.

Through the above three types of people, it is not difficult to see that the people who can participate in this wine tasting are basically people who have certain assets or some reputation, in other words, they are either rich or expensive, and they are celebrities in the local society.

And because of the possession of Posong Winery, Ye Chen is actually one of these celebrities in front of him, but because of the bad situation of Posong Winery, Ye Chen should be regarded as the worst among this group of celebrities.

In a group of celebrities who were talking and laughing with luxury goods and goblets, Ye Chen looked inconspicuous and even a little shabby.

At the same time, as the contact slowly deepened, Ye Chen also felt that this group of people had their own rules for interacting with each other, which was very different from the way Ye Chen made friends in China before.

In China, everyone plays together, and hip-hop-hee-hop can be regarded as making friends. But here it is completely different, in the eyes of this group, only people of equal weight are qualified to chat, and there are very few people with true temperament like Pierce and Jacques.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, after all, everyone is an adult, and they come here to make profits. Since you are not a good mix, it is impossible to create value for me, so why should I make friends with you?

And like Ye Chen, the owner of the manor, who is facing bankruptcy and the winery's rating is about to be deprived, naturally has no one to see, originally Ye Chen was still thinking about taking this opportunity to make more friends for the future development of the winery, but when he saw the arrogant faces of those people, Ye Chen didn't bother to do it anymore.

He understands that as long as his strength is not improved, those people will never look up to him. For them, no matter how many good things they say, it is in vain. Instead of spending energy trying to please them, you should find some way to improve yourself.

Standing on the streets of Mena Town, Ye Chen's mind was full of fantasies about the funny expressions on the faces of those who despised him when his wine was ranked. After being dragged around the streets of Mena by the three girls for most of the day, Ye Chen finally returned to his residence.

As soon as he returned to his lodgings, a white invitation was delivered to his room.

"Milani, a woman?" Looking at the name on the invitation, Ye Chen couldn't help but pick up the invitation and smell it. "It smells so good!"

"Perverted!" Li'er, who had just finished taking a shower, saw Ye Chen's movements and scolded with disdain.
