Chapter 61: The Wine Affair

Chen Chen and Victor walked in the direction of the winery, while Sherlock and Harry discussed equestrianism and swordsmanship together, and it seemed that they would have a common language together.

"Master, how did you save the champion just now? I'm curious, you didn't seem to have anything with you when you came out. Victor hesitated for a long time, but still asked the question he wanted to know.

Chen Chen was silent for a while, and just as Victor was about to apologize, Chen Chen spoke: "Victor, can I trust you completely?" ”

This is a very good question, like asking Victor, and like asking himself, Victor heard Chen Chen's question, and fell silent, he didn't know what to say to make Chen Chen believe him, after thinking for a while, the two walked in silence, and finally Victor mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say.

"Although I don't know what kind of secret my master has, what I want to tell my master is that now that I am your steward, then I will not betray you, it is you who should give me life, and it is you who give me glory, and I will always serve you, Lord Viscount, please accept my loyalty and swear in the name of God." Victor walked in front of Chen Chen, kneeling on one knee as if taking an oath, maybe it was an oath.

Chen Chen looked at the old butler in front of him, it seemed that he really wanted to go to the core of the family.

"Get up, since you swear allegiance, then I promise you, you want to know what it is, it's normal, I'm not an ordinary person, or I'm one of those paranormal people that people see in movies." After saying that, Chen Chen threw a punch at a tree on the side of the road, and then Victor saw a ball of golden light flying out of Chen Chen's hand, directly breaking the tree, it was a decades-old beech tree, and it was broken like this.

I saw the old housekeeper rushing to the beech tree's side, Chen Chen thought he was going to see the effect, Victor spoke: "Master, you interrupted the good tree of these decades at once, what a pity, wait a few more years, sell it when you are older, it is worth more money." After speaking, he glanced at Chen Chen reproachfully.

Chen Chen, who didn't expect this to be the case, smiled awkwardly and said, "Is this, hehe, it's just a matter of convenience, let's go and see the brewing bar, I can't wait to see the wine." ”

In fact, Victor was also surprised that Chen Chen had such strength, although he used to be one of the most famous housekeepers in London, and he had heard that there were many strange people in London, but the housekeeper was a housekeeper after all, and he was not qualified to meet these people, so when he saw Chen Chen's ability, he was still surprised, but he covered it up more naturally.

When the two arrived at the brewery, Rum was directing the workers inside.

"Quick, fast, fast, you lazy bones, usually call you the most active when you eat, why are you asked to move wine so slowly, a barrel weighs, hurry, before the master comes, you have to move it to the cellar, these wines should be put in a cool place, it is best to be careful when moving wine, these are excellent wines, if they are broken and sold, you can't afford to pay for them."

As soon as Chen Chen walked to the door, he heard Rum's roar, if he had a whip in his hand, he would definitely look like a slave owner, Chen Chen frowned, he didn't like such people, Victor noticed his expression and explained on the side.

"Master, you can't blame Rum, you must know that our wages are very high in Wales, as long as the work belongs to the body lì is almost not as high as ours, but the other day Rum reported to me that the workers here are often lazy, and they will steal grapes from the vineyard and sell them, so I asked Rum to implement a high-pressure policy, if someone can't stand it, they will naturally go by themselves, but obviously, none of them want to leave."

Hearing Victor's explanation, Chen Chen felt a lot more comfortable, knowing that in the vineyard, someone had stolen his own things, and he ordered Victor from his heart: "If such a person is caught in the future, he will be directly expelled and sent to the police station, and we will go in and have a look." ”

Rum was directing the workers to carry when he saw Chen Chen and Victor, and immediately came over and said, "Master, you have come at the right time, I have ordered them to move the wine to the cool cellar, do you want to go and see." ”

"Of course, I'm here to see my wine, how is it going this time, I want to sell a batch before Christmas, how many wines will come out." Chen Chen asked Rum.

"This wine is very good, the master, you must know that I have been making wine for so many years, there has never been a great wine like this time, I think it should be related to the grapes in the master's vineyard and the water specified by the master, as for the master wants to sell a batch at Christmas, of course no problem, but the master, you probably have to buy some barrels, the barrels are not enough." As soon as Rum talked about the problem of alcohol, he immediately became refreshed.

"Hmmm! How much do you need for the barrel, just go directly to Victor, if you have any needs in the future, as long as it is reasonable, you can find Victor to solve it, he will help you, go down with me to see the wine, and explain it to me by the way. Chen Chen walked in as he spoke, and Rum followed suit.

"Master, please come with me, I will take you to taste, our own wine." As he spoke, he took Chen Chen to a small cubicle, where a set of drinking utensils was placed.

Chen Chen walked over curiously, picked up the cup on the table and asked, "Why are there so many cups, is there anything special about this?" ”

"Of course, host, you will often attend some drinking parties in the future, so these common sense is what you must know, let me explain it to you, first of all, you have a champagne glass in your hand, this is the glass used to drink sparkling wine, and the one you have at hand is a Bordeaux glass, which is used to drink Cabernet Sauvignon blended wine, as for the other ones are Burgundy glasses for drinking Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay glasses for dry white wines, the general classification of wine is these categories, as long as you know these, the general wine will be enough to deal with." When it comes to wine, Rum's lecture is like that of a university professor.

Chen Chen was indeed very interested in these, so he asked, "The ones you just mentioned are cups, so are there more types of wine?" ”

"Of course, there are many types of wine, according to color, white wine, red wine, rosΓ© wine, if it is divided by sugar amount, it is dry wine, semi-dry wine, semi-sweet wine, sweet wine, of course, you don't need to know this, naturally there are people like us to serve you." Rum saw that Chen Chen's face was still a little unnatural, and knew that he had said too much.

"Well, in fact, I don't care much about these, the key is how to drink, I heard that drinking wine is very particular, let's talk about it, I don't want to make a fool of myself in the future." Chen Chen thought about how to drink it correctly.

"Actually, it's very simple, the first thing is the color." Rum took out a glass and poured half a glass of wine out of the barrel, then came to the white backdrop.

"The range of colours depends on whether you are tasting a white wine or a red wine, which comes in pale yellow-green, straw yellow, golden, golden, dark gold, Madeira and brown; Red wines are purple, ruby, red, reddish, brown. "It's clear that now it's ruby red.

"In addition, it is shaking, please look at the owner here, shaking will release esters, ethers and acetaldehyde, and oxygen to produce aroma of wine, and then it is to smell the wine, of course, smelling wine requires professional ability, so even if the owner can smell something, he will not know how to describe this feeling." Rum became an expert in wine tasting at this time.

"Finally, there's wine tasting, which for most people means taking a sip of wine and swallowing it quickly. But that's not called wine tasting. Wine tasting is something that is done with the taste buds. Remember that it's all around your mouth; The sides of the tongue, the dorsum of the tongue, the tip of the tongue, and extend to the base of the larynx. If you're like most people drinking wine, you're missing all the important taste buds, and you're going to have a glass of wine with the host. As he spoke, he poured a glass for Chen Chen and Victor.

Chen Chen drank the wine made by the expert, and felt really different, as for whether his own grapes were good, or the expert's skills were good, it was obvious, you give the expert a basket of rotten grapes to see if he could make good wine, tasting his own wine, Chen Chen was very satisfied.

"Victor, remember to take a few barrels out later, I'm going to give them away." Chen Chen thought of a few people, his family's wine came out, of course, he had to invite someone close to him to share.

"Okay master, I'll remember." Victor was also pleased with the taste of the wine.

"Rum, you did a good job, I really didn't believe you wrong, and you will continue to be in charge of winemaking in the future, by the way, when the barley comes out, you will be making a batch of whisky, and in England whisky is much better than wine." Chen Chen complimented Rum, and then walked out with Victor.

Rum was in the room for a long time, and finally got the job safely, when he came, he was afraid that he would not be able to satisfy the viscount, but now it seems that he is the head of the wine, and he is seated.

Rum saw that Chen Chen and the others had already gone out, so he hurriedly ran outside to send Chen Chen and them, whether they needed it or not was Chen Chen's business, but whether to send it or not was a matter of Rum's attitude, don't think that foreigners are stupid, I don't know how to pat the boss's ass, in fact, it's the same everywhere.

"Victor, how do you think I can develop my influence and let everyone know about me?" Chen Chen asked Victor on the way back.

"Master, I think you should first develop your own economic strength, and then think about the issue of influence, if you have money, you only need to do a few good deeds, such as donating some money to African refugees, or develop your own career in China, and then recruit more people, place a few more jobs, and even the queen will thank you at that time, you must know that the unemployment rate in Britain is still very high." Victor thought for a moment and said what he thought.
