Chapter Seventy-Three: Acknowledging Wine, Applying for a Successful Job

The man behind the table immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard Wang Xiaorui's words, "Do you know how to drink wine?" Red wine? Do you recognize the year or the origin? ”

Wang Xiaorui looked at the man, her eyes burning, "It's not red wine, it's the wine sold in the bar, any kind, as long as I taste it, I can recognize it." ”

The man put on a very interested look, "This is also a specialty and ability, but there is no evidence, I have to test it, if you really have this ability, I will make you my employee." ”

As he spoke, the man pressed a button on the phone on the table, and said calmly towards the phone: "Pour ten glasses of wine casually, and write the specific situation of the wine at the bottom of the glass, be quick." ”

Ten minutes later, the waiter who had brought me and Wang Xiaorui in had pushed a cart with ten glasses of wine on it. After placing ten glasses of wine on the table, the waiter bowed to the man and turned around and walked out of the office.

The man stood up, picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Wang Xiaorui, and said with a smile: "Come on, see if you really have that ability." ”

Wang Xiaorui took the glass, the transparent liquor shimmered in the light, with a yellow color, making it impossible to tell whether it was the color of the liquor itself or because of the light.

Wang Xiaorui took a sip of wine, then put down the glass and said directly: "Chivas Regal's whiskey." ”

The man picked up the cup and glanced at the bottom of the cup, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he stared at the corner of Wang Xiaorui's mouth with a smile, "Can you say it in more detail." ”

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaorui frowned and said with some uncertainty: "The smell is fruity and floral, and the entrance has a strong apple flavor and a faint dried fruit flavor. The aftertaste is fragrant, smooth and mellow. These characteristics add up to twelve years of Royal Chivas Regal, which I'm not sure about. ”

The man laughed and said, "Very good, all right." Next, a second cup. ”

The second glass was red wine, Wang Xiaorui tasted it and said disdainfully: "I really can't say that there are so many brands of domestic wine, what I can tell you is that they probably added something in the process of making wine, and the aftertaste is not sweet and a little bitter." ”

The man glanced at the bottom of the cup, and looked at Wang Xiaorui's eyes with more and more appreciation, "This is also your pass, the third one." ”

Wang Xiaorui glanced at the liquor in the glass, the yellow was churning with bubbles, Wang Xiaorui didn't taste it and said directly: "There is no need to take out Budweiser beer for testing." ”

The fourth glass, Black and White Dog Whiskey. A relatively rare whisky brand, the Black and White Dog brand is actually very large, and in the 19th century, it was one of the three major whisky breweries in the world. Because the logo is a black and a white Scottish Highland Beagle, it is nicknamed the black and white dog.

In the UK, Black and White Dog is the official whisky supplier for Parliamentary Members of Parliament and the official whisky brand of Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales

The fifth, Bacardi's rum. This is a type of distilled spirit produced from sugar cane molasses. Originating in Cuba. Rum is made from sugar cane pressed from sugar cane, fermented, and distilled. Bacardi's rum is the best of the rums, and this high-end rum from Santiago de Cuba is popular all over the world.

When she tasted the sixth cup, Wang Xiaorui was finally stumped, and after tasting the first sip, she didn't speak immediately, but took another sip, frowning and thinking for a long time without giving an answer.

I was a little anxious to watch from the sidelines, and I couldn't wait to step forward to say the answer for Wang Xiaorui. But when it comes to recognizing wine, I can tell the difference between white wine, rice wine and beer, but when two glasses of whiskey are put together, I am not destined to be able to help me with the test of which one is Chivas Regal and which one is black and white dog.

Ten minutes later, Wang Xiaorui reluctantly put down the only half glass of wine left, "It looks like Wuliangye but it's definitely not Wuliangye, I can't recognize it." ”

The man tasted it, and then laughed, "It's not your fault, this is Gu Beichun, a brand of liquor in Shandong." I also just sent a few cases from a friend so there was this wine in the bar, I didn't expect them to take it out. ”

The seventh, sparkling wine. The professional interpretation of sparkling wine is that at 20°C, the CO2 pressure is greater than 1 bar. In layman's terms, it is a bubbling wine. Sparkling wine is a type of wine rich in carbon dioxide that is suitable for all kinds of festive occasions. In Europe, sparkling wine is used as a pre-dinner aperitif.

The eighth glass, cognac, a cognac speciality of the French cognac region, is made from a light white wine distilled twice and aged in oak barrels. Many people may not know about cognac, but there must be no shortage of people who know about a brand of this wine - Hennessy.

The ninth glass, Baileys. A drink for girls who come to the bar to drink, it is made from Irish cream, Irish whiskey, vanilla and natural cocoa beans, and the alcohol content is not high. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular in bars

The tenth cup, absinthe. The smallest of the ten glasses, the least known, and as the name suggests, absinthe is a high-alcohol wine with an anise-like aroma, mainly made from fense, fennel and absinthe. The liquor is green in color and is said to have a slight hallucinogenic effect.

When Wang Xiaorui frowned and put down the last glass of absinthe, the man suddenly applauded, and I was also impressed on the side, except for the glass of Gubeichun's liquor, no one came out, ten glasses of wine, Wang Xiaorui recognized nine glasses!

The man looked at Wang Xiaorui and said with a smile: "Very good, indeed good." If you pass the test, then you will be a waiter in the night bar, and you don't have to do these things such as serving tea and water and sweeping the floor, you are responsible for showing people your ability. ”

"As for your companions."

The man looked at me, I looked at the man without fear, only Wang Xiaorui came to look for a job, I was purely a companion, whether I was admitted or not, it didn't matter to me at all. So there is no reason to be afraid of him.

The man looked at me for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Wang Xiaorui, "As for your companion, I can only say sorry, he doesn't have any special skills, and admitting him doesn't help you in the night bar." So he didn't pass the guò interview. ”

Wang Xiaorui frowned, and wanted to say something with a single mouth.

Seeing this, I hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a big deal that I'll come over to see you every night in the future, and I can continue my trip in Shanghai during the day." Rest assured, I won't do less than what I need to do. ”

Wang Xiaorui glanced at me, nodded and did not speak.

The man smiled and said, "Okay, then the interview will be over." Go find Xiao Li to get your work clothes, Xiao Li is the waiter who brought you in. You are welcome to join us at the Night Bar. “
