Chapter 356: The Wine Marathon
"You're beautiful! If I miss this kind of good thing, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Qi glanced at Liu Xing, took out the key to open the tempered glass, and carefully took out the wine bottle.
The imprint on the bottle was blurred, and a heavy sense of history came from the hand. Liu Xing was suddenly a little reluctant, as Zhou Qi said, this thing should be stored in the cabinet.
But in the end, it was the temptation that took over.
......
Sitting at the top of the winery, the table in front of you is full of food, accompanied by a bottle of 170-year-old Lafite, looking at the sunset Château Lafite, it really feels different from a roadside stall.
Zhou Qi shook the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "When I first came to the winery, I didn't have a good impression of red wine at all, it felt like drinking cat urine, and I couldn't understand why Westerners liked it."
It's funny to say that the owner of the first-class classified winery doesn't understand red wine, and he has only drunk one or two hundred soft sister coins of inferior red wine before. Later, after studying with the housekeeper for a few months, he made another batch of red wine, and then he began to gradually learn to taste wine.
As the saying goes, wine tasting is like knowing a woman. Good wine is like a woman, you can't look at it from one side, you have to ...... little by little"
In the time when Zhou Qi was chattering, Liu Xing had already eaten two glasses of red wine. The 170-year-old Lafite is really not blown, there is no jerky feeling at all, even a layman like Liu Xing can feel that this wine is good, but he can't say exactly where it is.
Just when he was about to pour himself the third glass of wine, Zhou Qi stopped, looked at the remaining wine in the bottle, put the bottle into his arms with a distressed face, and said vigilantly: "You are really a waste of drinking this wine, it is completely a cow chewing peonies." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll drink waste, then bring me a bottle of '82-year-old Lafite and rinse my mouth, it's always okay." Liu Xing rolled his eyes and looked at the wine bottle regretfully.
Zhou Qi took a sip of the cup, tasted the taste in his mouth with satisfaction, and said after a long time: "By the way, there is an event in the Bordeaux area tomorrow, do you want to participate, our winery is the organizer of the event." ”
"What activity?" Liu Xing scratched his hair and asked suspiciously.
"Bordeaux Médoc Wine Marathon, France.
Held in the Médoc on the Left Bank, the 42-kilometre-long Médoc with more than 50 wineries, was held in 1984 and has a history of 30 years. From 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the award was presented for seven hours.
There are more than 20 food and wine stations along the 42-kilometre route, where you can enjoy food and wine along the way, and the first place winner of the race can take away the same weight as yourself, and this competition has a great influence in Europe. ”
"There's such a good thing, then I have to participate, but is it too late to sign up now?" Liu Xing nodded and said. Anyway, there is nothing to do tomorrow, and the World Sailing Championship has only three days to start, so there is no hurry to get to Cannes.
"Our Château Lafite is the organizer of the competition, so it's easy to stuff people in."
After dinner, the housekeeper quickly brought down the plate and made a cup of tea for the two.
Leaning back in his chair and watching the workers finish their work one after another, Liu Xing said with a smile: "If Château Lafite were in China, it would definitely be listed as a five-star attraction." ”
Zhou Qi burped, rubbed his stomach and said, "It's a pity that this is not Huaxia, and the winery of Han Guo has been renovated according to your requirements." The first batch of wine has already been brewed and will be available for tasting tomorrow at the end of the race. ”
Liu Xing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." ”
Even after so long, Zhou Qi still felt weird, "I hope so, I bought a recipe for 50 million to burn grains, and I took it." ”
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Liu Xing got up and cultivated his internal qi in the courtyard for an hour. A long white mist spit out from his mouth, he slowly opened his eyes, frowned and muttered to himself: "The cultivation of the Sumeru Realm is too difficult, if there is no medicine to assist, it is estimated that it will not be possible to break through in fifty years." ”
At this moment, Zhou Qi came over and said loudly: "Hurry up and wash up, and get ready for breakfast." ”
Breakfast was made by the French chef in the manor, exuding a strong aroma of French bread, accompanied by salty special butter and coffee, Liu Xing gave a thumbs up...... One person can solve the three-person problem.
After breakfast, Zhou Qi wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "The winery is a terminal station of the competition, I won't accompany you for a while, and the formalities have been completed." If you run 40 kilometers and don't die, you have to peel off the skin, I'll wait for you at the winery. ”
During the Wine Marathon, the Left Bank Médocer region is bustling with activity. Marathon enthusiasts from all over the world gathered together, and the surrounding hotels were completely full, and a room was tens of thousands of soft girls a night, and it was not booked.
When Liu Xing arrived at the Médoc on the left bank, it was already crowded, and the total number of participants in the wine marathon was more than 20,000. All the contestants were dressed up carefully, with the men being the pharaohs and kings and the girls being princesses.
The marathon is a feast of pixie, and the participants are not aiming to break records, but are basically based on joy. As long as the race is completed within six and a half hours, it is considered that the task requirements have been met, and they can also get a medal.
The Lafite estate, which is rarely seen in normal times, is also open to runners today, offering its own fine wines. Some savvy people plan early in the morning and control the pace in the first half of the race to reach Château Lafite, and use this as their end point, enjoying the pleasure of drinking Lafite in the sun on the grass.
found a toilet to smoke a cigarette, Liu Xing stood on the starting line with the number plate, quietly waiting for the official start of the game.
In celebration of the Wine Marathon, the organizers invited not only European stars, but also many famous Asian stars of the week: Robert Jr., Britney, Alain Delon, Anthony Hopkins, Emmanuel Bea and many more dedicated themselves to pushing the atmosphere to the extreme.
André, the butler of Château Lafite, stood in the middle of the crowd, and next to him were a number of the owners of the estate. When the time pointed to half past nine, Andre picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Now I announce that the wine marathon has officially begun, and I wish you all a wonderful day." ”
In an instant, the crowd swarmed out like ants. (To be continued.) )
