New book request collection, recommendation support, thank you!

---------------------------------

There are not many pedestrians on Tianhuo Avenue, because you need qualifications to come here, not only for money, but also for taste.

All the seventeen assessment items are passed, and it is possible to obtain the Tianhuo badge, of course, you also have to pay money. The name is: Tianhuo Avenue Public Repair Fund.

Lan Jue walked out of Zeus, a faint smile on his face again, and the events in the store didn't seem to affect his mood.

Walk to the opposite side of Tianhuo Boulevard, opposite is a Gothic building in ancient France in the Yuan era.

Towering minarets, pointed arches, large windows, and stained glass depicting biblical stories. Pointed ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and slender bundle columns create a sense of lightness and slenderness. The frame structure gives the strength to fully support the top, so that the whole building is known for its straight lines, majestic appearance, and open space.

Compared to the blue Zeus jewelry store, this Gothic building is almost like a giant, and even the entire avenue of Skyfire is the most eye-catching highlight.

Pushing the door in, Lan Jue touched the stubble on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. I'm going to be criticized by that strict guy again.

"Jeweler, you're here." A tall and beautiful girl with a long golden figure and wearing an ancient French court dress greeted her and made a standard French etiquette to Lan Jue.

Lan Jue bowed slightly to her and said, "Hello Eva, is the sommelier there?" ”

Eva smiled, revealing only eight white teeth, "Yes, the gourmets and baristas are too." ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Jue's eyes, "It's great that the foodie is also there." ”

Eva smiled, "I'll take you there." ”

A long table in the grand French court, large enough to accommodate twenty people at once, sat several people at each. On the throne was an old man, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old. Dressed in an elegant French dress, with a fake headband, sitting upright and elegant, with a stern facial expression.

On one side of the long table, there were two people sitting, one was slender and long, with a white shirt and a black vest, short and very energetic, about forty years old, with a soft smile on his face.

The other was about thirty-five years old, of medium height, dressed in a white suit, with a long golden groom, which hung back from the sides of his sideburns to his shoulders. His eyebrows were thick and his eyes were large, but the smile in his eyes was not rigorous, with a bit of a bad taste.

On the other side of the long table sat three people, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.

Compared to the three people on the main seat and the other side, their love seems to be slightly cramped.

"Hey, is it time for the assessment today?" Lan Jue was led by the girl Eva to the long table, and he pulled out the chair next to the man in the white suit and sat down.

"Jeweler, you didn't shave and take care of your head." The old man on the throne frowned and said.

Lan Jue patted his forehead, "I knew you would say." Well, I was wrong. Although I just want to show the vicissitudes of Xiàn a little bit, and close the gap with you old people. ”

The taster said coldly: "If you are wrong, you will be punished, you know our rules." ”

The man in the white suit sitting next to Lan Jue nodded his head and said coolly, "Yes." ”

Lan Jue glanced at him, then looked at the taster, and said, "What do you eat at night?" ”

The corner of the white suit's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help but smile after all.

The taster also smiled, "I'll talk about what to eat later." Since you're wrong, let's interview these people. You're better at it than I am. ”

Lan Jue shook his head, "No, it's going to drain my brainpower. ”

Enter one of the seventeen qualification exams on Tianhuo Avenue, wine.

The sommelier said, "If the results of the interview are satisfactory to me, I will ask for tonight's wine." ”

"Okay." Blue Absolute Road.

The man in the white suit pouted, "Can't you be reserved?" ”

Lan Jue said lightly: "Then don't drink it." ”

The middle-aged man in the black vest sitting on the other side of the man in the white suit spoke for the first time and said, "Yes." ”

The man in the white suit said dissatisfiedly: "Gourmet, why are you always looking at him?" ”

The gourmand said, "Because he has more taste than you." ”

The taster on the main seat also nodded, "Yes." ”

Lan Jue turned his gaze to the other side at this time, "Three, let's get started." First place. For him, he is not willing to wait longer to have the opportunity to taste good wine.

The expression of the old man sitting in the first place opposite immediately became stern, "May I ask." ”

Lan Jue said: "This is the old Gothic winery, do you know where the wine here comes from?" ”

The old man had obviously made preparations for a long time, and immediately replied, "The Gothic Old Wine Shop is one of the first merchants in Tianhuo City after the opening of Tianhuo City. It is famous for selling fine wines from various countries in the Yuan Dynasty. These fine wines have been preserved through guò space technology, and they have basically remained in the same state as they were in 2020. Its most precious feature is that for every bottle drunk, there is one less bottle. Therefore, the value is high, but the taste of these Shangyuan wines is a symbol of true nobility. ”

Lan continued to ask, noncommittally, "What's your favorite red wine?" ”

The old man seemed to have said smoothly, "Château Lafite." In the upper Yuan era, the left bank of the Bordeaux production area in ancient France, in 1855, it was one of the five first-class estates of the Médoc Classified Estate. ”

Lan Jue said: "If the seven of us drink a bottle of Lafite together today, and you are the master, what will you do?" Be detailed. ”

The old man said, "I will open it carefully, pour out a little first, see its color, smell its fragrance, and then try the wine." Make sure it's not bad, and then give it to you and taste the bottle together. ”

"You can go." Lan Jue leaned back in his chair and said lightly.

"I'm guò?" The old man said with a look of surprise.

Lan Jue shook his head, "No, you're eliminated. ”

The old man was surprised and said, "Why? Am I not saying anything wrong? ”

Lan Jue frowned and said, "You're just memorizing information, not really liking to drink, and you won't drink it." A bottle of Lafite in the Shangyuan era, if you drink it this way, it can only be a violent thing. ”

"Lafite, regardless of the vintage, is stored horizontally, and before drinking, it is erected and left in the cellar for three days to complete the precipitation. When you open it, you do have to try it first, but not just to try the good and the bad. It is also necessary to taste its taste through guò to determine its state. Thus deciding how long you want to be awake. Decanting wine is one of the most important steps when tasting red wine. A bottle of Lafite in a normal state should be poured into a decanter for at least two hours. Otherwise, it won't taste much better than vinegar. It takes time for it to release its fragrance. You don't even know this, obviously you don't know how to drink, or even drink good red wine. So, don't waste my time. ”

The old man said unwillingly: "However, it is written in the books. ”

Lan Jue pursed his lips, "The person who wrote about Lafite in the book has never tasted it at all, so take it for granted." The idea of drinking Lafite as soon as it is bottled is an insult to it. Drink it like that, it's better to pour it in a humidifier. ”
