Chapter 747: Fanatical Ray
(Thanks to my friend Sheep Breed, Violet ~ Qianqian's encouragement)
After the domestic affairs were handled, Liu Yunxuan did not contact Liao Province. Naturally, there were Beiyi here in Liao Province who approached them, and the promised sponsorship given at the beginning would not be less.
Liu Yunxuan: They did not fly directly to the United States, but transited in South Korea. Anyway, I didn't go far, so I sent IU back by the way. However, they also caused a small commotion when they were at the airport.
IU's popularity in South Korea is very high, and even with the protection of the three-proof camouflage, he is recognized, not to mention that he still got off a private jet.
But Liu Yunxuan doesn't care so much, let's let IU and her agency deal with it, he is very worried about the wines he made at the beginning, counting the days, the initial fermentation time should be about the same.
"Ray, seeing that you're so laid-back, it seems that these wines of ours are fermenting well?" After coming to the vineyard, Liu Yunxuan looked at Raymond who was sitting outside enjoying the shade and asked with a smile.
"Andy, I guessed you'd come straight to me when you came back, and it looks like I won the bet with Charlie." Raymond didn't answer, but said happily.
"Oh my God, I've been your bet tool for the second time." Liu Yunxuan said helplessly. The last time I made a bet, it was Fat Man and Ah Yong who saw which yacht they liked, but they didn't expect that they would come back from Huaxia and become a tool for 12ond and Charlie to bet.
"You just tell me how our current wines are, and whether we can move on to the next step." Liu Yunxuan asked urgingly.
On the plane back, Liu Yunxuan and Xiao Fangfang couldn't show off with Miss Li, and their triumphant appearance made Miss Li angry enough. said that when I came over, I must see what kind of wine Liu Yunxuan brewed.
"The wines that have been made using the New World process have been stored in oak barrels. In about three months, it will be available for bottling and sale. Raymond laughs, "But it will be a few days before the Old World craft brews are made into barrels." β
The old-world process was too cumbersome, and the various processes took a bit of time. However, Liu Yunxuan, the time for them to come back was just right. Able to catch up with the modulation.
"Xinyue, don't blame me, this brewing also takes time, and I can't drink it now." Liu Yunxuan looked at Li Xinyue and shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Great, can I carve a nice picture on those casks of mine?" Fang Fang took Liu Yunxuan's hand and asked.
She remembered the cute stamps she had made in Japan when she sent postcards, and the sake she had brewed was meant to be given away. Have your own logo, too.
"Of course you can, you can carve as much as you want, but Fangfang, can you carve?" Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.
Hearing Liu Yunxuan's question, Fangfang's little face suddenly collapsed. Think about it yourself, where will it be carved on the barrel.
"Angela, don't worry, when the time comes, Uncle will help you find an artist to engrave it, you just need to tell Uncle SΓΉ what kind of pattern you need." Raymond solves the problem for Fangfang.
βrayγ Do you know anyone else in this area? Hearing Raymond say this, Liu Yunxuan was also interested.
"Yes, the workshop where we make barrels will do." "Over the years, a lot of people have come here to contract vineyards and want to make their own wines as gifts for their friends. Most of them also choose that kind of keg. Some have a nameplate on the top, and some have carved it directly. β
"That's good, we're going to design the pattern today." Liu Yunxuan said happily.
People have daughter red brewed for their daughters, which can be buried in the ground for many years, waiting for their daughters to get married and take them out and drink them. I can also make my son red. And these red wine Xiao Afu also contributed to the little feet to help step on.
With a new job, Liu Yunxuan and the others are busy. I was trying to figure out what pattern to use. Fangfang's don't worry, the people are simple, the small animals in the ranch are easy to come, anyway, there are many animals, and the relationship with her is very good, anyone can use it.
Liu Yunxuan was a little worried. You said that it would be more meaningful to draw one yourself. I don't have that talent yet. Then, he also wanted to express the elements of his family's brewing.
"It's stupid, now that the process is so developed, wouldn't it be nice for your family to take a group photo and then laser print the photo on the nameplate." Miss Li looked at Liu Yunxuan and said angrily with an old monk in a settled manner.
"Hmm. The new moon is very feasible, so it is decided. Liu Yunxuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Hehe, Brother Xuanzi, do you want to give me some when you see it, and I'll give it to my grandfather and my parents when the time comes." Li Xinyue said with a smile.
I didn't catch up when I brewed it, and now I have to cut two knives when I have the opportunity, otherwise I won't have my own share when Liu Yunxuan finishes it.
"That's fine, but you have to see if you need to be in a hurry." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile, "We make all the old crafts, and the storage time is generally relatively long." If you can't wait, just wait for the new ones to come out and fill you with some kegs. β
"Our handmade brews need to be stored for at least half a year before they are bottled. Because it is the first time to brew, if the taste is not up to standard, it may be stored for a longer time. Raymond explained on the side.
The requirements for old-world winemaking are too high, no matter which part. And depending on the vintage of the grapes, the time required to be stored varies. Some of the top ones will be stored for more than a year before they are bottled.
"Then I'll still use those new techniques to brew, and I can bring some back during the Spring Festival." Li Xinyue thought about it for a while and said.
It's been too long, she can't afford to wait, and she wants to bring it back to China as a New Year's gift to Beiyi's parents.
After a few days of busy work, these nameplates were all printed. Xiao Fangfang loves these glittering nameplates.
"Andy, you can make a concoction today, can you try it with me?" Raymond looked at Liu Yunxuan and sent out an invitation.
Liu Yunxuan thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so he took the family and followed Raymond to the wine cellar.
In the past, the old Hades also worked very this wine cellar, and all the equipment was very advanced. Even the spare generators are prepared with two. Even in the event of a power outage, the normal temperature and humidity standards of the wine cellar can be guaranteed.
"Andy, I'm afraid I can't do it today. These also need to be changed for secondary precipitation. Raymond opened an oak barrel and tasted the juice of the grapes before saying regretfully. The juice was only the first to settle, and it was even worse than I had expected. β
"It doesn't matter, as long as it makes delicious wine. It doesn't hurt to wait a few more days. How long will this precipitation take? Liu Yunxuan said indifferently.
"It's about the same in three weeks, and then it's ready to be concocted and stored." Raymond said after tasting each one more carefully.
The number and duration of this precipitation depends entirely on the taste you want to achieve. After tasting it just now, Raymond actually tasted the same taste as he had expected, but he felt that the taste of the grape juice could be improved again.
If the taste of the second precipitation is improved, you will be absolutely sure that you will be able to concoct a delicious new wine. And this is much better than I originally expected.
"Ray, don't get excited. It's your responsibility here, and it's all based on your opinion. Liu Yunxuan patted Raymond's shoulder and said.
If you don't shoot, you can't do it, this guy doesn't know what he thinks, and the blood vessels in his forehead are bulging. I don't know, I think I'm angry with him.
"Andy. How could I not be excited. Our wines may have a chance to win awards in the future. Raymond said with a twinkle in his eyes.
What winemaker doesn't want to win a prize at one of those international wine competitions. As long as it gets a high position, the price of this wine will go up dramatically.
And it's not the Brussels International Wine Competition, it's not the International Wine Challenge, it's the Vinalies tasting.
This is an international competition organized by the French Winemakers Union, which has been established 19 times a year by 2013 and has become a grand event in the world of winemaking.
The most important thing is that when he first debuted, he achieved a good ranking in this tasting competition, and then he was poached by Harris Sr.
Who knows that creation makes people. Those who participated in the competition in the same period have achieved good results in recent years, but what about themselves? In the past few years, no red wine has been launched to participate in the competition. The wine I have made over the years. I can't pass this level, so there is no need to lose face in the tasting competition.
Originally, he thought that even if he wanted to participate, he would have to wait until he had accumulated enough experience to brew again next year, but today he saw an opportunity to use this year's sake to participate in next year's tasting competition without waiting for next year's brewing.
"Ray, I'm still saying that. You're solely responsible for the winery. It is and will be. Liu Yunxuan looked at Raymond's shining gaze and nodded, "Edward's dream is to build a three-Michelin restaurant. I think your dream is to win the first place in the competition. β
"I'm very happy. Because in that sense, you have a goal. I will get the most in the future. It's true that I'm a businessman, but making money isn't my only purpose. Only excellent products can guarantee that I can make more money. β
"I don't know how to run a restaurant, because there's Edward. I don't know about winemaking, because of you. I believe in you, and we all believe in you. But we also have to be mentally prepared, even if it doesn't work out this time, we have a next time, and a next time. β
"Nothing happens overnight. It is only through continuous exploration that we can experience fun. Take me as an example, now that you let me make enough $100 billion at a time, do you think I still have the desire to make money. Hopefully? β
Liu Yunxuan had to pour some cold water on Raymond because he felt that Raymond's gaze was too fanatical. Persistence is a good thing, and if you don't go crazy, you can't live. But if you are too persistent, when the results you get are too far from your desired goals, it will be easy to go to extremes and never recover.
"Andy, thank you." Raymond calmed down a little after Liu Yunxuan's reminder and said gratefully.
He really smelled of madness just now, because the more he tasted it, the more he felt that the awards at the tasting were at his fingertips. But as Liu Yunxuan said, he feels good now, but he may not necessarily win the award.
What wine taster is not after years of accumulation, and some people have not even won the highest honor in their lives. However, his faith did not fade, but became stronger.
Since this year, I have to hit the rankings of various world-class wine conferences again and again. (To be continued......)
