Chapter 331: Opening the Bottle

Lan Jue dialed the interstellar communication for the old scholar again, and explained the situation in a few simple words. The old pedant just said angrily: "These guys have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures." Then he hung up. Lan Jue knew that this matter was over.

Lan Jue originally wanted to go to the sommelier in the evening, but then he thought that he would drink other people's good wine tomorrow, and he would invite him over when the time came, and he would always meet, so he didn't go again. After a casual meal in the evening, I began to continue meditating in my room.

Ever since Tai Hua Xing came back, he had always felt that his cultivation speed seemed to have increased, at least much faster than before, even after breaking through the ninth and seventh levels, according to this speed, he calculated that there seemed to be a good chance to break through to the peak level of the ninth level at the same age as his brother. He's a dual-line ability, and when the time comes, he'll be able to compete with his brother.

After a night of meditation, my cultivation increased again, and the thunder and lightning abilities around the energy core became more and more stable. For the sake of the bottle of Bacchus, he drank a glass of water in the morning, ate two slices of white bread, and did not dare to eat anything that tasted. Straight to the gourmet's hut.

It was still yesterday, gourmets, tailors, beggars, it seems, that one came earlier than the other.

Seeing Lan Jue come in, the beggar immediately stood up and said eagerly: "Everyone is here, come on!" ”

The gourmand nodded, and took the bottle of the legendary Bacchus Henri Jaye Krohaba from his thermostat wine cabinet.

"Who's going to go with the knife? Or the lower fork? Generally speaking, the traditional seahorse knife is used to open red wine, and sometimes two forks like iron sheets are used to open some old wine. To open a bottle of old wine, it must be standard that the wine stopper is intact, which is called beautiful.

The stopper is oak, and if it is fully opened, it means that the quality of the wine itself is well preserved. Some poorly preserved red wine stoppers will break or even crumble into slag, and the quality of the wine stored in it can be imagined. Generally speaking, if a group of people drink, the one who opens the bottle must be the most knowledgeable and the most steady.

In the New Yuan era, a good bottle of wine is also priceless, especially this legendary wine of Henry Jayer, the world god of wine. Wine stoppers and empty bottles can also be auctioned, and they are rare antiques. I don't know how many people are willing to put them in their collections.

The beggar immediately raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "I'm a notoriously broken hand, don't let me come." Otherwise, everyone will feel distressed. Why don't you suck it out with your ability? The beggar said to the gourmet.

The gourmand shook his head, "Drink this wine with a pilgrimage mentality." If you have to use the most primitive means, how can you use supernatural abilities? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't have asked the sommelier to come over at this time, he actually opened the bottle the best, and he had the most experience. I'm a little bit of a little unconfident, too! Jeweler, why don't you come? ”

Lan Jue said: "Lift the aluminum foil and see the situation of the stopper." ”

"Okay." The gourmand agreed.

The so-called aluminum foil is the layer of metal that seals the cork at the mouth of the red wine bottle, which is used to seal it.

This bottle of Krohaba seems to be quite well sealed, and it is not easy for the wine of 1993 to be preserved in this way. Burgundy wine is more difficult to store than Bordeaux.

The gourmand took out a seahorse knife like a trick, and there was a knife on the top and back of the seahorse knife, which was specially used to open the aluminum foil at the mouth of the red wine bottle.

Seeing this seahorse knife in the gourmand in his hand, Lan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The seahorse knife is much the same, there are two sections and one section, both are a spiral screwdriver and a knife behind the back, after turning into the cork, and then use the clip at the front end to push the mouth of the bottle to pull out the cork.

The seahorse knife in the gourmet's hand is first of all different in grip, very beautiful, and looks very simple and patterned. With Lan Jue's eyesight, I can see at a glance that this is a mammoth handle, a knife handle made of bones from mammoth fossils in ancient times, which is extremely precious and rare.

At the same time, the screwdriver of this seahorse knife is longer than the general one, this kind of seahorse knife is specially used to open old wine, because some old wine in the Yuan Dynasty, the wine stopper will be particularly long, only with a screwdriver completely penetrated, in order to pull out the cork more completely without breakage.

The serrated knife turned around twice, and the aluminum foil on the mouth of the bottle fell off, revealing the wooden stopper inside.

When the four of them saw the appearance of the wooden stopper, they couldn't help but change their faces slightly.

"Infiltration." The foodie frowned.

The cork is not wood, but dark brown, with some pitch-black stains on it. This is a sign that the wine stopper has been infiltrated by the wine inside because it has been too long, but fortunately the wine in the bottle is still transparent, otherwise Lan Jue would probably suspect that this bottle of the legendary wine of the Dionysian is old.

Red wine can spoil if it is not stored properly or for too long. But the term is old, and it will not be directly said bad, in order to show respect for the wine.

The gourmand took a clean white cloth and carefully sprinkled the black stain on the mouth of the bottle, which was not really dirty, but was formed by the reaction of the penetrating red wine and the cork.

"You're coming, I'm coming?" The gourmand looked at Lan Jue.

Lan Jue took a deep breath, "I'll do it." "He has to be the right person when it comes to crunching, and he doesn't think he's as a foodie when it comes to food, but he's still very experienced when it comes to wine. He has also opened a lot of this old wine.

The gourmand handed him the seahorse knife.

Lan Jue said: "If I open the cork intact, this knife will belong to me." He wasn't going to ask for corks and bottles, which would undoubtedly be taken back by the taster.

The gourmand said angrily: "You are simply a robber." Well, as long as you can open it intact, it's yours. But what if the plug breaks? ”

Lan Jue smiled and said, "Then I'll treat you and a bottle of old whiskey that is at least thirty years old." ”

"It's a deal." The gourmand immediately agreed.

Lan Jue broke the seahorse knife, the screwdriver turned outward, and the wine bottle was placed lightly and smoothly in front of him. Slightly concentrating, his breath suddenly became steady.

Seeing this scene, both the gourmets and the beggars couldn't help but nod secretly, although the jeweler was young, his mentality was calm enough.

Lan Jue's movements were not fast at all, and he was very careful. Point the tip of the front of the screwdriver exactly in the center of the wine stopper, then gently press down and rotate the screwdriver at the same time so that the tip of the screwdriver drills into the cork.

His movements were not fast, and each rotation was rhythmic, and the screwdriver, which was more than seven centimeters long, slowly burrowed into the wine stopper without the slightest deviation.

Soon, the entire screwdriver had been fully drilled in, and the wine knife was erected and the metal clip was jammed into the mouth of the bottle. The most important time has come. Pull the wine stopper.

In this process, the wine stopper may be broken at any time, and once the stopper is broken, although it will not affect the wine inside, it must be a great regret.

Lan never pulled the wine knife directly, but slowly placed the wine bottle sideways, and then gently began to exert force.

Experienced people will open the cork of old wine in this way, so that the chance of breaking the cork will be much smaller.

Gourmets and beggars alike stared at his hands for a moment.

Little by little, the wine stopper came out, and it was pulled out very evenly, without any slack or overexertion. The front end of the wine stopper was pulled out a little, and everyone's eyes showed joy, although the surface was penetrated, but the side wall of the wine stopper was still a log color, that is, this wine stopper was not completely penetrated, but the center part was only somewhat penetrated.

All three of them were overjoyed by this discovery, which proved that the quality of this bottle was better than expected.

The wine came out a little bit, a little bit, not broken, not broken!

Finally, at the last point, a faint smile appeared on Lan Jue's face, with his experience and feel of opening wine, this wine stopper was no problem.

With a slight force, the wine is corked out of the bottle, making a soft "poof" sound. But at this moment, a faint silver light suddenly flickered at the mouth of the bottle.

"Not good. Touch-sensitive spatial imprints. ”

With a flash of silver light, a majestic aura suddenly appeared in the gourmet's hut, and a powerful voice mixed with anger rang out, "You guys, I'm going to kill you!" ”

This sudden appearance is undoubtedly the taster.

Lan Jue reacted immediately, raising the wine bottle high with both hands, "Don't do it, be careful of the wine." ”

The taster's originally high momentum froze instantly, and his eyes suddenly fell on the bottle. Lan Jue was still holding a seahorse knife in his hand, and the complete stopper was on top of the screwdriver. The bottle has been opened, and there is no aroma spilling out of it.

"You bastards, my legendary Bacchus!" The sommelier wailed and snatched the bottle from it. It's fast, but it's very steady. Looking at the label on the bottle, it's like looking at the woman you love.

The gourmand and the beggar looked at each other, both of them looking a little embarrassed. Originally, they had also decided to wait for the bottle to open before calling the taster. But that process must have required all of them to drink some first. Otherwise, what if you invite this great god over and don't let everyone drink it? After all, it was dishonorable for them to get the bottle.

"Bring it!" The taster yelled at Lan Jue.

Lan Jue hurriedly handed over the seahorse knife in his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't be scared of the wine, the taste will become." ”

The taster glared at him viciously, "I knew there was you." He took the knife and took a closer look at the stopper. On the cork, Henri Jayer's letters are clear and complete.

Looking at the complete wine stopper, the taster's face finally looked a little better, and he turned his head to look at the gourmet, "What are you doing stupidly?" What about the best burgundy cups? ”――

This bottle is my favorite! It's a pity that Jia Ye has gone to ......, in order to commemorate Jia Ye, today's three watches! R1152
