Chapter 36: The First Glass of Wine
Chen Er thinks that this kind of problem is probably the problem of the century.
Zhou Shirui just wanted to say what she had been suppressing in her heart.
Mark was silent, and seemed to find it difficult to solve.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Mark naturally set his sights on Chen.
It seemed to be waiting for Chen Er to speak.
Chen Er sighed silently in his heart, Emma, as the eldest one, really couldn't avoid speaking.
Chen Er thought about it and said to Zhou Shirui.
"Do you still want to learn Chinese?"
Zhou Shirui nodded firmly.
Chen Er said, "Learning is no matter whether it is morning or night. ”
"You just need to tell your parents that you have found an internship and need to use Chinese."
Zhou Shirui feels that this method is feasible, and as a college student, internship is also a very important thing.
If that internship position is one in a hundred, there is no possibility for parents to refuse.
"But ......," Chen Er continued, "it has to be done decently." ”
"It has to be true, or it's true."
Chen Er was suggesting that Zhou Shirui really look for an internship position that required the use of Chinese.
In this way, parents will really have nothing to say.
Everyone sat together and talked for a while before leaving.
The next day, Chen Er was leaving Oxford, and Zhou Shirui and Mark sent Chen Er to the station together.
Chen Er plans to take the train and visit some nearby cities.
Before Chen Er got into the car, Mark asked Chen Er, "Can I go to Huaxia to find you in the future?" ”
Chen Er nodded, "Of course." ”
Then he waved goodbye to the two of them through the window.
Chen Er wandered around England for a long time, and it was not until the day before the wine tasting that Chen Er returned to London.
At the same time, I also saw Zhao Chengping, who I hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhao Chengping looked full of spring, and locked the silver wine in the safe as if it were a rare treasure.
When he saw Chen Er, he asked mysteriously in his ear, "Do you want some silver wine?" ”
He seemed eager to get Chen'er's evaluation.
Chen Er shook his head, "Don't worry, anyway, tomorrow is the wine tasting, are you afraid that you won't have time to drink?" ”
Zhao Chengping nodded with a smile, and then asked Chen Er what wine he brought.
Chen Er told him that he was a drunkard in Hengyang.
Zhao Chengping, as a wine lover, certainly knows what this Hengyang wine is.
He felt that although this wine was also a treasure, wouldn't it be a little too inconspicuous compared to a series of famous wines at the tasting?
The people who participated in the tasting were from all over the world.
Chen Er saw what he was worried about, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just watch the excitement." ”
The next day, the wine tasting began.
The organizers chartered a large hotel.
Chen Er and Zhao Chengping went in with invitations, and were surprised to find that there were surprisingly few Asian faces among the people who participated in the wine tasting.
Chen only occasionally saw one or two Asian faces weaving through the crowd, most of them speaking Japanese or Korean.
There are not many Chinese people?
At least for now, Chen Er only saw himself and Zhao Chengping.
Zhao Chengping was by Chen Er's side and played a chattering role.
"We Chinese people don't seem to like to participate in this kind of activity very much, and when I came last year, including me, there were only three Chinese people......"
Zhao Chengping said and scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and continued, "I'm afraid there will be fewer this year......
Chen Er nodded silently, "Originally, there is a big difference between Chinese and Western cultures, and many Westerners should not be used to the taste of liquor......
Perhaps because they find it difficult to find a sense of resonance, Chinese people rarely come to participate in this kind of activity.
Chen Er and Zhao Chengping became very conspicuous in the crowd.
Although everyone does not look at them like giant pandas, all kinds of curious eyes have been sweeping over them and never stopped.
However, Chen Er is a thick-skinned person.
Zhao Chengping is also quite accustomed to this kind of occasion, so the two of them did not feel uncomfortable.
They carefully bypassed some of the crowds and easily walked to the front.
Because there were many people who participated in the wine tasting and a lot of wine was brought, the organizers did not introduce them one by one.
Only the more well-known sake or the sake of the brewmaster will be selected and introduced on the spot.
As for Chen Er and Zhao Chengping's wines, they were also very "lucky" to be selected into the introduction list.
Because there were only two of them who came to the scene.
There was nothing left to choose, so it was sent directly to the organizers.
As soon as Chen Er and the others entered the hotel, the staff came forward to contact them and brought the wine they brought to the front of the exhibition area.
After a while, the host walked out, followed by two beautiful women in dresses.
The two big beauties stood behind with a smile and immediately illuminated the stage.
almost overshadowed the limelight of the crystal lamp overhead.
Chen Er casually raised his eyes to look at the platform, and actually felt that a beautiful woman on the stage was very familiar.
He thought about it for a moment before he remembered who the man was.
It was Jenny, who had translated for him before.
Jenny was standing on the stage, her eyes scanning the audience at will, and she suddenly found Chen Er standing in front of her.
He showed a sweet smile to Chen Er's side.
Chen Er also nodded and smiled at her.
After doing this, he noticed that there were suddenly a few more unfriendly male eyes around him.
Chen Er pretended not to see it and continued to listen to the host's chatter.
After a while, the moderator finished speaking.
Begin to introduce today's good wine.
Because this wine tasting was held in London.
So, the organizers first introduced British wine.
When it comes to British liquor, the most famous ones are probably whisky and bitter beer.
Both of these wines have a long history in the UK and are not only loved by the British, but also recognised around the world.
One of the most well-known is whisky.
Whiskey is a strong liquor.
Whisky is a strong distilled spirit made from grains such as barley, aged in oak barrels for many years, and blended into a strong distilled spirit of around 43 degrees. The British call it "water of life". Whiskey can be divided into four categories: Scotch whiskey, Irish whiskey, American whiskey and Canadian whiskey according to the place of origin.
One of the most famous is Scotch whisky.
Because whisky has been produced in Scotland for more than 500 years, it is generally considered that Scotland is the birthplace of all whisky.
Depending on the raw material, whiskey can be divided into single malt whisky and grain whisky, as well as rye whisky, among others.
Depending on how long the whisky has been aged in oak barrels, it can be divided into varieties ranging from several years to decades, and all Scotch whisky has a requirement that it needs to be aged in oak barrels for no less than 3 years.
The first drink introduced today is whisky from Scotland.
This year's whisky is slightly different from previous years, as it comes from a privately owned winery that is not well known.
This is very interesting to everyone.
