Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already one o'clock in the afternoon of April 12.

In another hour, the wine tasting session of this year's Candy & Wine Exhibition will begin. The wine tasting conference was held in the square outside the venue, and the organizers of the candy and wine exhibition have set up a relevant stage in the square outside the venue.

In two days, plus one morning, Anliang's booth did not sell a single bottle of wine. Not only because Anliang's booth location is too remote, but also because Anliang has no intention of operating at all, and Anliang's local method of brewing wine is too expensive and not famous.

Take Wuliangye's vintage wine as an example, the most expensive 50-year-old vintage wine costs as much as 17,999 yuan a bottle, and it only has a capacity of 500 ml.

Although the vintage is claimed to be 50 years old, in fact, it is not naturally aged for 50 years, but a blend of similar flavors.

If it didn't have the reputation of Wuliangye Liquor Group, and there was no market reputation for vintage wine, could it be so expensive? Of course not!

The value of a bottle of wine depends on many aspects, including 'fame', 'taste', 'historical precipitation', etc., if there is only 'historical precipitation' and 'taste', without any 'fame', its value will be seriously underestimated.

Therefore, Anliang's local brewing received a cold reception at the exhibition!

At half past one in the afternoon of the same day, An Liang took Feng Weizheng to the registration point of the Candy and Wine Fair Exhibition and Wine Tasting Conference and chose to register. The registration is not free, but the registration fee is very high, 10,000 yuan, which is called the 'tasting fee'.

After all, the tasting invited twenty renowned sommeliers to evaluate the entries. These are all things that cost money. Also, if there is no entry fee. Regardless of the wine, you have to participate, and you are not drunk with a sommelier. Can't get a first?

With the high threshold of registration fees, some small brands of liquor that know that there is no hope of winning will not choose to sign up, and waste the opportunity in vain.

An Liang paid the fee through his bank card and got a race number plate, which turned out to be No. 44, a very unlucky number.

But An Liang does not believe in evil!

Returning to the booth with the number plate, An Liang took out two small tile jars from the wooden box. Then he instructed Feng Weizheng and Yang Mingyu to transport the three wooden boxes back to the hotel room for safekeeping, and then come over to watch the wine tasting competition.

Feng Weizheng and Yang Mingyu followed An Liang's instructions and pushed the three wooden boxes through a small cart to the parking garage, ready to transport them back to the hotel.

An Liang carried a small tile jar in one hand and walked to the outside of the exhibition, where the wine tasting was held in the square outside, and An Liang found the entrance to the wine tasting conference. After showing the number plate, An Liang was arranged by the staff behind a small table.

There were many other contestants around, and An Liang took a look. Naturally, it is impossible to find any acquaintances, but it is possible to find 'cooked' wine.

Everywhere you look, it's all high-end liquor!

The bottles of high-end liquor are also varied. Traditional glass bottles are the most common, high-end ones with ceramic and crystal materials. A little more upscale, there are even bronzes. Purple clay bottles and so on.

The small tile jar used by An Liang seems to be the most ungrade one, not only the workmanship is rough, but also the appearance is not a little bit.

Standing on An Liang's right was also a young man, and what was on his table was not a high-end liquor, but four bamboo tubes.

When An Liang was looking at the other party's wine, the other party was also looking at the two small tile jars placed on An Liang's table.

"Yo, buddy, are you a bamboo tube wine?" An Liang asked with a smile.

The young man looked a little shy, just smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

An Liang took the initiative to introduce: "I am making wine by local method, that is, my elders, and I brew my own loose wine. What about yours? ”

The young man finally spoke, "Mine is also a local winemaker. ”

"Huh?" An Liang looked at those bamboo knots more curiously, however, An Liang found something different, the young man's bamboo tube wine was not an ordinary bamboo tube wine, there seemed to be some special brewing method, but An Liang did not know the details of the bamboo tube wine, so he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and give a kind smile, "I hope you can advance to the top ten and win glory for our local wine!" ”

The originally shy young man affirmed: "It will be!" I'm definitely going to be in the top 10! ”

An Liang didn't say anything more, but he was thinking in his heart, why does this young man have such a strong self-confidence, could it be that his local method of brewing wine is also very strong?

Time advances second by second, refusing to stop for a moment, two o'clock!

The tasting session begins!

In this year's wine tasting conference, there were a total of 128 contestants, that is, just the registration fee, 1.28 million was collected.

Although there were 128 contestants, in fact, it was not 128 liquor brands that participated, but many of the same brand and multiple branches participating.

Taking Wuliangye Group as an example, they not only participated in the competition, but also some other series of wines, including 'All the Best Golden Diamond', 'Yuanqu Red Bottle' and so on.

One hundred and twenty-eight contestants, corresponding to twenty tasters, naturally it is impossible for each taster to taste one hundred and twenty times, if you taste all of them from beginning to end, it is estimated that the tasters will also be drunk...

An Liang was in the team of tasters, and he actually found Kong Zhengde!

That's right!

It was the first day that he stole his five-year-old native wine!

When An Liang saw Kong Zhengde, Kong Zhengde seemed to have a sense, looked at An Liang, and smiled at An Liang, could it be that Kong Zhengde was planning to take care of An Liang's rhythm?

After a few moments, twenty tasters agreed, twelve of them, to taste six wines; Eight sommeliers with seven wine tastings.

After each taster has finished tasting, he or she will make a rating of the six or seven wines for which he is responsible, and then the first and second places will be promoted, and all the others will be eliminated.

In addition, if the contestant does not agree with the judgment, he or she will be able to pay 50,000 yuan and hire five more tasters to repeat the tasting. This time, the results will be combined with the scores of five tasters to select the finalists.

However, in previous wine tasting conferences, there has not been cheating and buying off the taster, or it has appeared, but it has not been exposed. After all, the reputation of the taster is important, and if the reputation is bad, how will it be mixed up in the future? That's the equivalent of losing your job!

So, the vast majority of tasters are fair!

About fifteen minutes later, after the first round of evaluation, Anliang felt the taster's impartial attitude, because of their group, he and the shy young man directly advanced.

What's more, Anliang only came up with a new brewing grade!

After the first round of tasting, most of the contestants were eliminated, and only forty contestants were left to participate in the second round of elimination.

The second round of elimination is even more brutal!

Because of the rules of the second round of elimination, the forty contestants were randomly assigned and divided into ten groups. Subsequently, two tasters were arranged to be in charge of a group, and the comprehensive score was conducted again, and finally the contestant with the highest score was selected and promoted to the top ten.

It's the final word!

If you succeed, you will become a top 10 player, gain high attention and a lot of fame, and if you fail, you will be eliminated directly.

In the second round of elimination, An Liang was actually assigned to a group with local enterprises in Wucheng, as well as two other enterprises in Xichuan Province.

Facing three fierce opponents, An Liang considered, should he change the liquor for the competition?

After all, what An Liang is currently taking out is only a newly brewed liquor, and the other bottle is a twenty-year-old liquor, An Liang considered whether to use the power of the small space to directly exchange the newly brewed liquor with a ten-year bottle inside the small space.

After thinking about it for a while, An Liang gave up the replacement, after all, in the first round before, there were already tasters who tasted the newly brewed liquor, if the liquor was replaced, what if there was an accident?

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the most I can do is to directly take out the 20-year-old wine and beat the world!

However, this is just An Liang's speculation, is it really that easy to dominate the world?

When the wine tasters were assigned, two middle-aged wine tasters came to An Liang's group, and An Liang found a big problem.

That is, the two tasters seem to be in collusion with the brewing enterprises of Xichuan Province, if there is no accident, their group, the winner of this round, should be the winemaking enterprises of Xichuan Province.

Although the two tasters made a hidden eye contact with the contestant from the brewing company in Xichuan Province, An Liang still found a problem.

It's just that if you find a problem, what should you do? Could it be that he is yelling at the other party to cheat and bribe the taster? This kind of thing without evidence will only make An Liang a laughing stock.

It's just that he is going to be killed by the other party in a conspiracy and trickish way? An Liangcai is not reconciled!

This time at the candy and wine exhibition, An Liang has nothing to gain, even if An Liang doesn't care about being empty-handed, but An Liang still cares about the ranking of the wine tasting conference.

But An Liang is in the game at the moment, and as a contestant, An Liang basically has no good way to deal with the sommelier who is the referee.

Especially when Anliang has no evidence!

Could it be that Anliang really wanted An Liang to say that the two tasters had eye contact with the contestants of the Xichuan Provincial Liquor Company, so they were bought?

That's definitely a big joke!

Before you have the ability to break the rules of the game, you can only better adapt to the game by abiding by the rules of the game. For example, the only person who can fight against the game judge is another game judge.

Luckily, An Liang knows a game referee!

An Liang looked at Kong Zhengde not far away, thought about it for a while, and then suppressed his voice and said, "Teacher Kong, can you come over for a while?" ”

――――

Okay, I'm honestly slowly renewing the monthly pass or something, hehe (to be continued......
