"Andrey, how much do you think should be given to them?" Another winery owner asked.
"Bonus? I don't think I have to give a penny. At that time, there was a contestant who happened to be a doctor, and he treated the injured person, and it had nothing to do with the rescue team. Andrei replied.
"Do you know the information about that contestant? Should we give him a certificate or a bonus? ”
Hearing this, Andrei's face was full of weirdness, "You don't have to worry about it, I will arrange everything." ”
.......
Château Latour, one of the five classified châteaux in the Bordeaux region. Château Latour is very strict about the production of grapes, and in bad years, the grapes are carefully selected by hand to the point of nitpicking.
Château Latour wines are very green and even difficult to taste when they are first made, and they need to be matured in the bottle for at least 10 years. Vintages like 1945 and 1947 have remained strong for 50 years and can be continued to be brewed.
Hugh Johnson, a famous British wine taster, compared Château Lafite and Château Latour: "If Lafite is a tenor, Latour is a bass, if Lafayette is a lyric, Latour is an epic." ”
Standing outside the winery, Liu Xing carefully looked at the Château Latour. Compared to Château Lafite's terrifying 178 hectares, Château Latour is undoubtedly much smaller, and it can only be considered medium among the Premier Wineries. However, the facilities inside are not inferior to those of Château Lafite.
By the time we arrived at Château Latour, the number of contestants plummeted to just one or two hundred. There were only five miles to go, and there were still two hours left to finish the race.
Just as Liu Xing was about to leave, an old man in a tuxedo and meticulously groomed hair walked over quickly. looked at the photo in his hand, bowed slightly to Liu Xing and said, "You are Mr. Liu Xing, our owner Mr. Bruno, please take a step." ”
I followed the old man for five minutes, and after turning a corner, I came to a quaint house. This is a traditional Western manor, with a white stone road extending to the gate, and a swimming pool covering an area of hundreds of square meters more than ten meters away from the gate.
At this time, two parasols were erected next to the pool, and a middle-aged couple in their forties were lying on them. Seeing that Liu Xing had arrived, the man straightened his clothes and hurriedly walked up to meet him, his face full of excitement.
"Mr. Liu, knowing that you are participating in this red wine marathon, I immediately instructed the housekeeper to keep an eye on your whereabouts."
"Why are you keeping an eye on me?" Liu Xing asked curiously: "We shouldn't have met before, and my company has no cooperation with Château Latour." ”
Bruno scratched his hair, brought Liu Xing a cup of tea, and explained: "Mr. Liu, this is my wife Margaret, I invite you over this time just to save her."
I have also sent an invitation letter to the hospital in the capital area before, but their answer is that you do not accept house call services. Margaret is too weak to make the long journey to China, and if you don't participate in this wine marathon, I can only watch her leave. ”
As he spoke, Bruno's eyes turned red, tears fell down in large drops, and his body trembled slightly. It can be seen that the relationship between the couple is very good.
"Then I'll give it a try."
Liu Xing stretched out his hand to check Margaret's pulse, the standard leukemia is in the advanced stage, and it is accompanied by some serious complications. If he doesn't make a move, the other party will only have about half a year at most.
During his part-time job at Bishi District Hospital, Liu Xing personally treated many incurable diseases. Little Lori was suffering from leukemia, and five acupuncture sessions plus a few pieces of Chinese medicine completely cured it.
"Well, I'll give Margaret acupuncture once to see the effect." Liu Xing took out the silver needle from his arms.
"I'm sorry for everything." Bruno's face was overjoyed, and he stood up and bowed to Liu Xing.
......
Ten minutes later, Liu Xingyi put all the silver needles into the box with a wave of his hand, took a piece of paper from the table, and wrote it in a smug manner.
"These are the herbs for Margaret, and you should be able to find them in the Chinese medicine clinic in Paris's Chinatown. Also remember to buy a casserole for decoction and medicine, if this thing is not available in the Chinese medicine hall, it should be found in the Chinese restaurant. ”
Bruno nodded heavily, took out a check from his arms and put it in front of Liu Xing, and said respectfully: "Mr. Liu, this is a little bit of my heart, don't dislike it." ”
"There's no hurry, wait until I cure Margaret's condition, and you can pay me again. I've heard that Château Latour has some very old wines, and I'm a wine lover......"
Bruno immediately understood what Liu Xing meant, and his chest beat loudly, "Mr. Liu, as long as my wife's illness is cured, you can drink any red wine from Château Latour in the future, and you will become my friend for life." ”
Leaving Château Latour, it didn't take long to arrive at the oyster supply point at 38 km.
A crowd of people crowded in front of the oyster stand, and the young handsome British man used a knife to pry open the fresh oysters and pass them on to everyone. The salty oysters are like a booster for a runner who has run 38 kilometers.
After eating dozens of oysters, I finished a large piece of steak at a grilled steak restaurant not far away. Liu Xing rubbed his stomach with satisfaction, and walked leisurely towards the finish line.
The last four thousand meters are almost all in the town. At this time, there were already many contestants who finished the race, holding large bags of prizes and walking back, some people were full of excitement to show off their prizes, and some people were full of loss.
At the end of the Médoc Wine Marathon, participants will be given an all-you-can-drink glass in the tent area. In addition, you can also receive a bottle of red wine in the special red wine box of the organizing committee.
These wines are sponsored by each winery, and the varieties of red wines are also different, so what wine you draw is a matter of luck. If you're lucky, drawing a good vintage and a good winery is like winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.
Liu Xing's luck was good, and he drew a bottle of Latour Manor 1998, and the price was around 10,000 soft sister coins. Seeing the red wine in his hand, the eyes of several contestants were about to bulge, and this bottle of Château Latour 1998 can basically be said to be the best of all the prizes.
Even the staff's eyes were a little hot, and they patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said, "Hey, buddy, you're really lucky." ”
