Chapter 12 Winemaker's News
After breakfast, Ye Chen was holding the computer to check the information, thinking about how to find a winemaker to make wine for himself, while Anna nestled on the old sofa opposite to have fun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs, and Ye Chen got up and pulled his slippers to open the door downstairs.
"Aunt Mary?" As soon as he opened the door and found that it was Antoine's daughter Marie, Ye Chen's voice was a little surprised. He had just met Mary, and Ye Chen didn't expect her to come to him.
"Papa Antoine asked you to come?" Ye Chen invited Aunt Mary to the hall and asked politely.
Aunt Mary shook her head, reached out and handed a letter to Ye Chen's hand.
"This is for you."
"Give it to me?" Looking at the French on the envelope, Ye Chen was forced.
"My brother is also a winemaker, and I find a way to get him to introduce a winemaker to the winery, and you take this letter to this winemaker, and he should help." Mary said briefly.
"Also, don't let my dad know about this!" Mary added.
"Uh......" What Mary said was too brief, Ye Chen basically didn't understand, and he scratched the back of his head with a puzzled expression.
Looking at Ye Chen's dazed appearance, Mary sneered, and then slowed down and said: "This is a letter of introduction, if you take this letter and go to this person, you can find a suitable winemaker." ”
"But where is this man?" Ye Chen asked bitterly.
"It's very close, right next to Château Person, Château Knight. He is now the Chief Winemaker at Château Knights, and with his help, this year's tasting will be no problem! Mary said patiently.
"Oh, oh, I see!" At this time, Ye Chen finally understood what the aunt meant, slapped his forehead violently, and shouted excitedly.
Pedaling, hearing Ye Chen's shout, Anna also ran out of the study with the corner of her skirt, waiting to look at Ye Chen with big eyes.
"Can I have new clothes to wear?"
"Soon it will be there!" Ye Chen happily waved the envelope in his hand at Anna.
……
Now that he got the letter of introduction, of course Ye Chen was reluctant to delay, he hurriedly cleaned up, called Henry, and asked him to carry him to the neighbor's winery.
Along the way, Ye Chen asked a lot about the Knight Winery.
Château Cavalier and Château de Purson and Château Millet, which wanted to acquire Château Porson, are the three wineries that coexist on this hillside, with Château Person having the best land, Château Millet being the largest and Château Knight being the most famous.
According to Henry, the current owners of Château Cavalier are the Sánchez family, the largest vintners in Provence. The family is from Spain, strong and well-funded, mainly responsible for the distribution of wine, and opening a winery is just a side hustle for them.
However, because of the strong financial foundation, the quality of the wines produced by the Château Cavaliers has also increased year after year in recent years, and this naturally has a lot to do with the chief winemaker of the winery.
"Listen to you, this winemaker's strength is not bad!" After listening to Henry, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Henry snorted coldly and said, "More than that, this Monsieur Beaune is one of the most famous winemakers in Provence, and is very good at making rosé wines. ”
"So good!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have seen hundreds of thousands of orders flying towards him.
Then Henry's voice rang out again.
"But don't be too hopeful, this Monsieur Beaune is notoriously difficult, and even with a letter of introduction from Elway, he may not necessarily come to help, after all, Château Person's reputation is too bad."
"Oh, too." Ye Chen nodded, his expression became serious again, he also knew the meaning of Henry's words.
"Either way, you have to give it a try." Ye Chen cheered himself up, and then asked curiously: "By the way, who is Elway, I seem to have heard you mention this name several times." ”
"By the way, don't tell Dad about this, or Mary and I will be scolded."
"You've got to tell me who this guy is?"
"Elway is Marie's older brother and now teaches at the University of Bordeaux II." Henry reluctantly said: "He and his father have had some conflicts before, and the father and son are still not talking." ”
"And he's Margaret's father?" Ye Chen remembered the little girl he saw that day.
Henry nodded, and said uneasily: "Don't say it, Mary also took a big risk this time." ”
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-mouthed." Ye Chen hurriedly assured.
While speaking, the motorcycle had already driven to a quaint manor, looking at the pattern drawn on the wooden board at the gate of the manor, Ye Chen knew that his destination had arrived.
After entering the door, Ye Chen directly reported to his home, and the French guy who received them took him and Henry to a stone building next to the main building.
Pushing open the door, a pungent aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of oak barrels rushed into Ye Chen's nose, making him instantly feel as if he was drunk. Looking at the oak barrels more than two meters high on both sides of the aisle, Ye Chen's mouth opened wide again.
"There are so many cellars at the Knight's Winery, how much does it cost to sell!"
"The Sánchez family is the largest wine merchant in Provence, so it's not surprising that they have so much wine in stock." Henry said in surprise, feeling that Ye Chen's expression was a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but remind.
Ye Chen hurriedly closed his mouth and became serious.
The French guy looked at Ye Chen's expression, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he continued to shuttle through the wine cellar with the two of them. At this moment, a vague moan suddenly came into the ears of the three of them.
The sound is like silk, and listening to it makes people feel their blood surging and their hearts beat faster!
As Ye Chen, who has seen countless small films, of course he is familiar with this voice!
Henry also heard the voice, he turned his head to look at Ye Chen, and the two looked at each other obscenely and smiled.
"Ahem, Mr. Boehner, someone is looking for you!" The Frenchman shouted after coughing.
"Who!" An angry voice came from behind the pile of oak barrels, followed by a woman's scream.
"It's looking for your guests." The French guy said respectfully.
"Didn't I say that no one should be allowed to come to the cellar without my permission, and what if it disturbs me to make wine!" The sound of garning sounded from behind the barrel, and Bona reprimanded loudly.
was reprimanded by Bona, but the French guy looked indifferent, and took the time to look at Henry and Ye Chen and smile.
After a while, Bonner had already dressed and walked out, followed by a woman with blonde hair and freckles, Bona was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the woman was wearing a white coat, both of whom still had a flush of excitement on their faces.
