In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed in a flash, and Liu Xing boarded a plane to Bordeaux, France, at the capital airport. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The village of Boille, in the Pauillac district of Bordeaux, France, is home to fresh air, blue skies, and endless vineyards. Once a small village with an unknown name, a nobleman surnamed Lafite established a vineyard that by the 14th century had become quite famous.

Seven centuries later, Château Lafite remains the leader of the hospitality world. In the 19th century, it became the leader of the first-class wineries, and has maintained this honor until now, becoming a sacred place in the hearts of countless wine lovers.

Among them, the 82nd and 94th Lafite is even more famous in China, as long as the person who knows a little about wine, is familiar with this wine. Countless profiteers saw this business opportunity and made a large number of counterfeit and shoddy products, making huge profits from it.

Some time ago, Zhou Qi has sued this ** businessman, and now he has officially opened a case for investigation.

At Bordeaux Airport, Zhou Qi picked up Liu Xing in the waiting area, and then the group drove towards the winery. There are still three days left before the World Regatta starts, and Liu Xing is ready to take a good look at the winery in the next few days.

In the car, Zhou Qi told Liu Xing that he had sent someone to Cannes to play the front station, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged by the Hilton Hotel, which cooperated with the winery.

......

This was Liu Xing's first visit to Château Lafite, and after just one look, he fell in love with this small village. The buildings are full of classical flavor, and the trees are scattered around the direction, and the blue sky is added, as if you are in medieval Europe.

The camera in Liu Xing's hand kept flashing, no matter from which angle he was shooting, it was a beautiful landscape painting. This lazy, aristocratic aura is like a poison, constantly impacting his heart.

It's a beautiful place!

The two did not enter the castle directly, but wandered around the winery. Château Lafite covers an area of 178 hectares, of which 103 hectares are vineyards, which is the largest of the five first-class wineries and larger than most of the second- and third-class wineries.

September is the season when the grapes are ripe, and the fact that the grapes are weighing down the branches means that this year's harvest is very good. Along the way, countless workers greeted Zhou Qi warmly, and then looked at Liu Xing curiously and guessed his identity.

In the past, guests from the winery were usually received by housekeepers, but this time Zhou Qi actually went to Bordeaux to pick up people. You must know that when the chairman of the Red Wine Federation arrived, Zhou Qi was just standing at the gate of the manor and waiting.

Liu Xing stretched his waist, greedily took a puff of the grape fragrance in the air, and said: "When I retire in the future, I will simply live in seclusion in Château Lafite and live a leisurely life." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qi smiled and shook his head, "You are only twenty-one years old this year, how can you think about retirement so early, so how can you be embarrassed by people who are still keen on rights at the age of fifty or sixty." ”

"I don't think the same way they do, as long as money is enough, no matter how much money you make, it's just a string of numbers in the bank. If I had been running for money all my life, I would have regretted it when I got old. ”

Liu Xing picked a grape from the grape trellis behind him and put it in the palm of his hand to play with it for a few seconds, which felt quite good. But when he chewed it a little, he immediately regretted it, and the flesh was more than half of the seeds, and it was a little sour.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qi couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, there was a big gap between the grapes and the grapes. When he first came to Château Lafite, he was the same as Liu Xing, and even ordered the workers to bring over a plate of grapes...... There were a lot of jokes.

Wine grapes have thicker skins because many of the important components that form the flavor during fermentation are produced in the skins. And the sugar content is also strictly controlled, not too high nor too low, in general, it is not suitable for consumption.

"Why didn't you just remind me!" Liu Xing didn't wrinkle up, picked up the mineral water and drank a big sip, which eliminated the bitterness in his mouth.

"I want to remind you, but you also give me this opportunity." Zhou Qi gloated and said: "Let's go, a few hundred meters further ahead will be to the wine cellar, and there are several bottles of hundreds of years of Lafite in it." ”

Hearing that Liu Xing's harath has flowed out, he only loves brandy for foreign wine, but he has the opportunity to taste Lafite for hundreds of years, which is also a good experience, and he can envy countless people when he says it.

Château Lafite's cellar covers a large area, and when you open the door and walk in, you will find oak barrels lined up one by one, as if you are in a world of wine. The interior decoration is very atmospheric, not as dark and damp as Liu Xing imagined.

The white walls, bright lights, and the faint smell of wine immediately aroused Liu Xing's gluttony. Walking to the deepest part of the wine cellar, Zhou Qi took out a key from his arms to open the door, and the two entered another room.

The wine barrels stored here plummeted, and Zhou Qi pointed to the wine bottles in the tempered glass and said, "This batch is seventy years old, and that one is ninety years old...... This bottle is the king of wine in the cellar, and it is 170 years old. ”

Liu Xing's eyes widened, and he stammered and asked, "One hundred and seventy years, this thing won't spoil and you can't drink it." ”

"Drink? As you can imagine, Lafite at this age is no longer just a wine, it's a work of art. ”

Zhou Qi's face was full of fanaticism, and finally added, "This bottle of wine is well sealed, there is no leakage and turbidity, and it can be drunk even in the past hundred years." But who would be willing to drink such a thing? ”

Liu Xing rubbed his palms, hugged Zhou Qi's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Then let's taste it later, this thing is still safe to drink in your stomach." Otherwise, if there is any problem in the future, there will be a big loss at that time. ”

Zhou Qi: "Forehead ......"

"Okay, isn't wine just for drinking, no matter how much time passes, it won't change its original meaning." Liu Xing licked his lips, "I'll cook it myself in the evening, you probably haven't eaten authentic Chinese cuisine for a long time." ”

"But that's a bit out of place."

Zhou Qiyi moved, and during the time he came to France, he had been thinking about Liu Xing's cooking. Although the winery has invited Chinese chefs, and Bordeaux also has several Chinese restaurants, their craftsmanship is far inferior to Liu Xing.

"There's nothing wrong with it, if you don't want to go, I'll leave this bottle of Lafite to me when the time comes." Liu Xing smiled. (To be continued.) )
