Chapter 409: Self-Brewed Cellar Wine Tasting Meeting

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, in the owner's office on the second floor of the south store of the steamed bun shop, Li Youran invited Liu Senjiang and Chen Chuanzhong, two chefs, to sit down on the sofa, and took out a ceramic long-necked bottle from the cabinet, as well as two small wine cups, and put them on the coffee table.

"This is ......" Liu Senjiang looked at the ceramic bottle and asked suspiciously.

"Master Liu, don't ask so much first, try it and then talk." Li said leisurely, picked up the ceramic bottle and uncorked it, and poured half a cup for the two small wine cups.

Suddenly, a strange aroma of wine overflowed, the aroma was rich and heavy, as if it was substance, surrounding the three of them.

"What a mellow aroma." Chef Liu sniffled, his spirits perked.

"The bouquet is thick and pure, elegant and persistent. It's not ordinary. Chen Chuanzhong also calmly experienced it and commented.

"After smelling the incense, please taste it." Li Youran stretched out his left hand and made a gesture of please.

"That's natural, my Lao Liu doesn't smoke, so he likes tea and wine. Hehe. Chef Liu smiled slightly, and picked up the small wine cup with the index finger of his right thumb.

"Hehe, as long as there is good tea and wine, Lao Liu can not even eat." Chen Chuanzhong teased on the side.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to drink wine and eat food." Chef Liu glanced at him, then brought the small wine cup to his lips and took a sip, closing his eyes slightly and smacking his mouth lightly.

For a moment, his eyes widened and a light flashed in his eyes.

"The entrance is soft and luscious, the lower throat is clean, the taste is mellow and harmonious, and the aftertaste is long. Good wine, really good wine. Chef Liu was full of praise and immediately drank the rest of the wine in the cup.

"Is it really that good? I'll taste it too. Chen Chuanzhong's curiosity was aroused, and he also took a sip of the cup.

"Okay, it's pure puree rice wine brewed from pure grains, well, it's still cellar aged, but it's been a long time." After tasting it, he made a judgment.

Chef Liu, on the other hand, brought the empty wine glass to the end of his nose. Sniffed it.

"Ho, it's an empty cup. It's a great wine. ”

When Chen Chuanzhong heard this, he also learned from the same thing, smelling the empty wine glass. Great appreciation.

Li Youran's reaction to the two chefs was expected. In fact, this wine is the first two jars of rice wine brewed by Chef Liu last year, each jar of 20 catties, put into the wine cellar of Space No. 4, and it has been five months now.

I just took it out yesterday, and I didn't dare to open it on the spot next to the wine cellar at that time, mainly because I was worried about Ang Ang, that guy is a very smart spirit beast. If you are attracted by the aroma of cellar aging, the taste will improve, and you will not be able to drink new sake in the future.

So he brought the jar to the bedroom, and then he slapped the mud seal. After tasting it, he praised it, after all, there is a space stream to escort it, and it is more than two grades higher than the two bottles of puree wine sent by Old Man Qu before, even that kind of wine has also passed through the space cellar.

Fill a bottle with a porcelain bottle that was emptied from the previous one. I'm going to give it to the two chefs today. As for the wine jar, it continued to be tied with hemp rope and was still placed under the bed in the bedroom.

Then. There was a knock on the office door, and then a kitchen guy walked in with two plates and placed them on the coffee table in turn, a plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of braised dried tofu, and three pairs of chopsticks.

This is the snack that Li Youran asked the kitchen to make just now.

"Two, could you please assess how old this wine is in the cellar?" He then asked a crucial question.

Liu Senjiang and Chen Chuanzhong glanced at each other, and then frowned and thought.

"Let me think about it, the wine is full-bodied and full-bodied. The incense at the bottom of the cellar is obvious, there are sixteen or seven years, well, no, less, it should be more than twenty years. "I thought about it for a moment. Liu Senjiang made a judgment.

"Well, almost, the smell of the year is missing, and there must be twenty years, only a little more." Chen Chuanzhong also nodded in agreement. …,

"Twenty years. Yes, you all think so? Li leisurely bowed his head, very satisfied.

The two chefs are not ordinary people, and they recognize this year at the same time, coupled with the tasting of the old man Qu before, which means that the function of the space cellar has been confirmed, and the cellaring effect of about 20 years in the real world can be achieved in five months.

"There should be no problem, and in our experience, the error between this time and the bottom line will not exceed two years." Liu Senjiang confirmed in an affirmative tone.

"Okay, let's be honest with you, in fact, this wine is the first two jars of rice wine that Master Liu made at the beginning of November last year." Li Youran decided to unravel the mystery.

From the initial production of rice wine, to the later finding someone and opening a small wine shop, Liu Senjiang has handled it all, if you hide it from him, sooner or later he will find out, which is not very good.

"What? This can never be done! When Liu Senjiang heard this, he was greatly surprised. He picked up the empty glass and sniffed it, confirmed it again, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, how can a five-month cellar wine have such a mellow taste, Boss Li, you are kidding." Chen Chuanzhong glanced at Boss Xiao Li, who was sitting with a smile on the opposite side, and felt that this person might be in a good mood today, so he joked with them and made a fuss.

"Hehe, of course it can't be in an ordinary wine cellar. This is the latest research from the research behind the agri-food company. The construction of the cellar uses a special material, and the cellaring technology is also very special, and various microorganisms are active in the environment, which can accelerate the lipidation reaction of the wine. The two jars of rice wine were stored in this special cellar for five months. Li Youran made up a relatively reasonable explanation for the change of rice wine.

Hearing this, the two chefs looked at each other again. After staying here with Boss Xiao Li for a long time, my psychological endurance and immunity have been greatly enhanced.

If someone says something like that, they must think it's nonsense. But Boss Xiao Li is different, since the first day I met him, all kinds of good things have emerged in his hands. From the first vegetables and fruits, special water, to the edible fish in the back, and two kinds of excellent tea, they have already been convinced.

Boss Xiao Li must have mastered the unknown special planting and breeding technology in his hands, since this is the case, it is not a strange thing to have another liquor cellaring technology, but it has become logical.

"However, the cellars built with this special technology are very expensive and can only be produced in small batches at present. Come on, don't talk patronizingly, let's talk while eating, drinking. Today's bottle is specially used for trial, you're welcome. Li leisurely greeted, motioned to Chef Chen to fill the three small wine cups, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of dried tofu and threw it into his mouth, and took another sip of the cup.

The small wine with dried tofu tastes really good.

"It's unbelievable." Liu Senjiang said with emotion, then took another sip of the cup, tasted it again, and felt that it was still twenty years of cellar aging.

While eating and drinking, the three of them chatted about the business prospects of this home-brewed brew.

The way of registration and application for trademark listing and sales is definitely not feasible, firstly, the examination procedures for food and beverage are troublesome, and secondly, the plan is to take the high-quality route, and there is not so much output, so it cannot be done.

Then there is only one way left to sell it in your own store.

Chen Chuanzhong said that this wine belongs to the puree liquor aged with pure grain and special water, which is natural and healthy, and the taste is also great, which is much stronger than those blended liquor with artificial flavors and plasticizers on the market.

The customers of private restaurants belong to high-end consumer groups, there are many gourmets, and their requirements for health are higher than those of ordinary people. At the banquet, most of the wines they drank were Moutai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao and other domestic old famous wines, as well as foreign high-end red wines. …,

Moreover, this kind of self-brewing is not bottomless, don't forget that the private restaurant of Leisurely Farm itself has become a golden sign in the high-end catering industry in Tianhai City, with a good reputation.

As long as you are not in a hurry and slowly promote this wine in private restaurants, I believe it will not be long before the situation will be opened.

Liu Senjiang also nodded in agreement, he said that since the production is very low, you can first sell it in a small range of first-class banquets and VIP banquets to try the effect.

As for the price, a 20-year-old liquor like this can't be set too low, because it is facing the wealthy people, which will damage its own image.

It is recommended to let the logistics department purchase a batch of porcelain bottles, which are more delicate and antique. It can be reused after washing. Each bottle is a standard one-pound bottle, and the recommended price is 1,500 yuan. This price is more modest.

"There may not be so many for twenty years old, but what if it is ten years old?" Li asked leisurely. The first two jars of rice wine added up to forty catties, and the later ones didn't last that long.

"Ten years old is much cheaper, set it at 600 yuan, and it is good to divide it by a few grades. However, the years can't be lower, like those who have been in three or five years Chen can't get on the table at all. Liu Senjiang thought about it and quoted another price.

The three of them summed it up and settled the matter.

"By the way, we don't have a name for this wine yet, think about it again." Li Youran thought of another question, after all, it is a high-end product, and he must always report a name in front of the guests.

"This is simple, you don't have to think about anything else, I just follow the brand of the private restaurant, just call it 'leisurely special brew'." Liu Senjiang blurted out this time without thinking.

"Leisurely cuvée, that's a good name, and the origin of the product is clear at a glance. If you subdivide it, you can also add a description of 20 years and 10 years of age, a name, which has clearly conveyed the characteristics of the wine. Chen Chuanzhong agreed, and added.

After a little thought, Li Youran agreed to the proposal of the two chefs.

Half an hour later, the wine was cleaned and a small wine tasting ended. Liu Senjiang and Chen Chuanzhong got up to say goodbye, and left with a smack of taste.

Li Youran then found Xia Minghai from the logistics department and asked him to purchase a batch of ceramic wine bottles, and put forward detailed requirements. (To be continued.)
