"Yan'er, rejoice and rejoice." A smug look appeared on Fu Duozhi's face, "What's the use of those wineries no matter how many they come, in the end they are still defeated by our Huaguo." ”

"Are all the shortlisted wineries from Huaguo this time?" Xia Yan said curiously.

"Not exactly." Fu Duozhi scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, "Of the ten shortlisted, five are from Qin County, and four are from other states and counties, and the remaining one is ...... It's a wild ......."

"Savage?" This result is really unexpected, if it is said that any other country has entered the semi-finals, Xia Yan will not feel strange, but this is wild......

Do the people there make wine?

Seeing the doubts on Xia Yan's face, Fu Duozhi smiled and said, "Yan'er, I was also taken aback when I saw this result. The Barbarians have always valued the wine of our country, and if it weren't for them to participate in the competition this time, I really didn't know that they already had such a skillful winemaking technique. Their mare's milk wine is a little old, and I also drank some in the early years, although the taste is special, but it is far inferior to the wine of our country. The wine they used to compete this year was still mare's milk wine, but they didn't expect it to lose the strange smell before, although it was not used to drinking, but because of the freshness of the wine, it attracted the attention of many people. ”

"That's not a good thing." Somehow, Xia Yan had a vague sense of foreboding.

"It's not a good thing that our Huaguo's wine has been won by the wilderness." Fu Duozhi sighed, "But the wine fighting conference only speaks based on strength, people do have the ability to win, what can we say?" ”

The result has been decided, and there is no possibility of change, even if other wineries are not convinced, it can only be like this.

"This year, not only have there been more sake breweries coming to participate in the competition, but there are also many more guests who have come to visit the competition." Fu Duozhi smiled, "The county master knew that there were more wineries participating in the competition, but he specially prepared a bigger venue, but he didn't expect that there would be so many guests who came to join in the fun, and the prepared signs were almost insufficient. ”

Xia Yan knew what the brand Fu Duozhi was talking about, it was an item that the guests who entered the venue must bring, and it was also the key to determining whether each winery could be shortlisted for the semi-finals.

Qualified breweries will set up stalls along the road in the venue, and each guest will be handed out three small wooden signs when they enter the venue. Guests choose the sake they are interested in as if they were visiting a market, and if they drink their favorite sake, they will put the wooden tag in their hand in the wooden box next to the corresponding sake. Of course, if you are extremely satisfied with one wine, it is okay to put all three brands in the same wooden box.

But if you don't keep it, there are people who are dissatisfied with all the wine, so there are also the kind of customers who don't vote for a single vote.

After all, these people are a minority, and most of them are still cooperative.

The whole preliminary round lasts for three days, and after three days, the top 10 wines with the most brands will qualify for the semi-finals.

In order to facilitate the distinction, the signs used to enter the market every day are different, the signs of the day are only used up on the same day, and the brands of the previous day are invalid when they are voted on the next day.

If the possibility of counterfeiting the brand is basically zero, because the brand has been marked in advance when it is made, and they will be arranged in order when counting the brands every day, so the brand will only be less, not more. If there are more than duplicate numbers, it will naturally be discovered by the censors.

Not to mention anything else, a single number of brands is a huge project, and Xia Yan can't calculate how much manpower and material resources are needed, at this time she can already imagine the headache of the dedicated county master.

No matter how large a person's amount of alcohol is, there is a limit to it, and the wine of more than 200 wineries is put together, and almost no one can drink all the wine at once, even if they go for three days in a row, there is basically no such possibility.

Therefore, if you want to be shortlisted for the semi-finals, you must not only rely on strength, but also have luck against the sky and the ability to attract guests.

can stand out among these more than 200 wineries, Xia Yan has to admit that this Gao Yuxing really has some ability.

You know, other wineries participated in the competition with a lot of people, and he ......

He and Xia Huai are still at home, and those guys on Sweet Island will never help him without his own orders, and the only people he can count on are Tian Wenran and Jiang Xiaoyu.

It's just that I don't know if the two of them are busy with affairs, and there is no possibility to help him.

Of course, it was okay for him to go home and call a few servants......

Just when Xia Yan was guessing, Fu Duozhi gave the answer: "Or I said that Young Master Gao is surprising, other families only went to the competition after bringing all the manpower, but that Young Master Gao is good, he will open by himself." ”

"Alone?" This incredible answer made Xia Yan stunned.

"That's right, he's the one who is alone." Regarding the shock on Xia Yan's face, Fu Duozhi expressed his understanding, and when he first heard this, he also had the same expression, "If you want to say that Gao Yuxing is true, even if you don't bring people, you don't even want to ask us for help." He doesn't know what our relationship is, so what's the point of lending him a few people for use? Pity...... I knew it was already after the game, otherwise I would have sent a few people over to help him. ”

"Uncle Fu, since you didn't know that he went to the competition, he probably didn't know that there would be people from the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce in the venue this year." Xia Yan frowned, "But he's not stupid, how could he not know the rules of the game and not find good people in advance?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Fu Duozhi sighed, "I haven't seen him in person, and I can't figure out what the hell is going on." ”

In order to ensure fairness, all the participants must be set before the competition, and even those who go to the venue to help must register in advance. 360 Literature Network

There were people in turn throughout the conference to investigate, and if they were found to be in violation, they would be directly disqualified, so the possibility of exploiting loopholes was eliminated.

For three days, all the participants could only stay in the venue, and no one could go out, so the possibility of going out temporarily to transfer troops was gone.

Even if you can ask someone to transfer people, but you haven't registered in advance, it's still in vain, you can only stand aside and watch silently, but you don't have the qualifications to go in to help.

Of course, this rule does not block all roads.

If you don't have enough manpower, you can borrow a few registered people from other breweries, and the interests involved in this are all discussed by each brewery itself, and the organizers have no interest in knowing at all.

There is also a very inconspicuous rule that almost everyone ignores: if no one registers before the conference starts, the only person who can enter the restaurant is the shopkeeper.

What a grand event the wine fight is a big event, the participating wine shops are eager to use the whole family, how can they come alone, if there is such a person, I am afraid that there is not a problem with the brain.

Because almost no one would choose to do this, this rule has been forgotten over the years.

If it weren't for Gao Yuxing...... I'm afraid no one will remember it again.

In other people's words, it's a real brain problem.

"Yan'er, we all underestimated that Young Master Gao." Fu Duozhi admired him, "Don't look at him alone, but it's more effective than the wine shop with dozens of people." You must know that 'Alley Deep' not only made it to the semi-finals, but even got a good ranking. ”

"What's he?" When it comes to rankings, Xia Yan is really concerned.

"Sixth." Fu Duozhi smiled, "How can you not be admired by fighting a few or even dozens of people with your own strength." ”

As he spoke, Fu Duozhi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "By the way, the second place this year is the Ruyi Winery of my Ruyi Chamber of Commerce." ”

On Fu Duozhi's face, Xia Yan not only saw his admiration for Gao Yuxing, but also saw a strong ...... Flaunt.

Xia Yan just shook her head and smiled, she could understand Fu Duozhi's performance.

At the beginning, she personally told Xu Yichen that she was not optimistic about the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, but now that she has got the second good result, it is natural to show off.

But Fu Duozhi is a calm person, according to his character, even if he wins the first, he will not show such a look, and now he will be like this, I am afraid that he has been instructed by Xu Yichen.

To be honest, Xia Yan was really a little surprised by the ranking of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, I thought that Xu Yichen was just playing around temporarily, but who would have thought about it...... He's really famous.

At this point, Xia Yan has completely seen through Xu Yichen's character, that is, he is a complete villain.

Others participate in the competition, which is not prepared many years in advance, but he is good, but he can get such a good ranking for things that are temporarily decided, if he is really improvised, Xia Yan does not believe it.

So...... What he said to himself before was completely a lie.

As for the purpose of doing this, Xia Yan couldn't guess.

Maybe...... Is it to let your guard down and ignore him as an opponent?

But "deep alley" is just a small winery with no name, how can it pose a threat to Ruyi merchants.

Just when Xia Yan was puzzled, Fu Duozhi's voice sounded again: "The Ruyi Chamber of Commerce can get this ranking, it is really stained with the light of the Gao family." ”

"The Gao family?" I don't know why Fu Duozhi suddenly mentioned the Gao family, Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Yan'er, you also know that the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce is somewhat famous in China, and it also has a high status in Qin County." Fu Duozhi smiled, "In order to thank the young master for his help over the years, the county master specially arranged the booth of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce opposite the Gaojia Wine Workshop. ”

The county magistrate will arrange it like this, and Xia Yan can understand it.

Although Qin County has a large population and is much more prosperous than other county seats, it is extremely remote in terms of location, and the road from here to the capital is not very safe, so there are not many chambers of commerce willing to come here to do business. Even if they come, in order to ensure that they are not robbed by the mountain bandits on the road, they will not bring too many things.
