Chapter 353: Status

"Young Master Gao, congratulations." Those people's attitudes were extremely respectful, and even the title of Gao Yusheng's second young master on weekdays had changed.

The Gao family finally determined the heir, and then the goal of their flattery was clear.

At this time, not many people knew the news, and they took the opportunity to have a good relationship with Gao Yusheng, which could be regarded as preparing for the future.

Most of the people surrounding Gao Yusheng have this kind of thought.

These people disrupted Gao Yusheng's plan and made him feel very uncomfortable, but because of Gao Zhong's face, he couldn't embarrass people at this time, so he had no choice but to come and be polite to others.

Gao Yusheng on the side is happy with pain, Xia Yan and they don't have this kind of trouble.

After dealing with the matter in front of you, all that remains is to concentrate on waiting for the start of the wine fight.

Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't make them wait for a long time, and after a while, his figure appeared at the venue, followed by three people dressed as small servants, each holding a tray in his hand, and in these three trays there were three large wine jars that looked exactly the same.

Seeing this scene, everyone knows that an exciting game is coming.

After the three little servants neatly put the wine jar on a large table more than ten meters long, they bowed to everyone and retreated, and at this time, the ten judges who participated in the finals had already arrived, and they sat on the judges' seats in front of the table after a polite exchange with the county master.

The county magistrate exchanged pleasantries with Gao Zhong and a few others, then got up and came to the middle of the venue, and after an impassioned speech, he announced the official start of the finals.

As soon as the county magistrate's voice fell, accompanied by a crisp gong, three people dressed as small servants stepped forward, each of them holding ten exquisite wine bowls in their hands, and after placing the wine bowls next to the wine jar, a small servant who was completely different from the previous dress walked up.

He saluted to the county magistrate and the judges seated, then turned around and saluted to the pergola where Xia Yan and the others were, and then saluted the onlookers, picked up the stack of wine bowls on his left hand, opened them in turn, and then lifted the first jar of wine on his left hand, and poured the wine seriously.

Looking at his smooth movements, you don't need to introduce everyone to know that this person is the bartender of this final.

The reason why they use wine bowls instead of wine glasses and wine cups is completely due to the folk customs of China.

You know, they have always liked spirits, spirits can only be enjoyed when they are drunk in a bowl, those wine glasses and the like are only suitable for drinking, and they can be used on weekdays, and they still have to be served in a wine bowl when they are excited.

The bartender filled the ten bowls one by one, placed them in front of the judges, and bowed respectfully to them, "Gentlemen, please." ”

The ten judges nodded, and almost colleagues picked up the wine bowls in front of them, raised their bowls to each other, and began to drink the wine in their hands.

This drink is incredible.

They were stunned for a moment, then frowned and took another sip as if they were sure of something.

Then, almost at the same time, they put the bowls back on the table and looked at them thoughtfully.

The reaction of the ten judges was unanimous, which made the onlookers explode.

"Do you say, is this wine good or not?"

"Nonsense, can it not taste good, when has there been a bad wine at a wine fight?"

"But isn't it, if this wine doesn't taste good, how can it be on that table."

"But...... I saw that the reaction of several gentlemen was not quite right, if they really drank good wine, they should be excited or happy, how could it be such an expression? ”

"Maybe it's because this wine is too special, and it's the first time they've drunk it, so they're a little unsure for a while."

"That's right, this year there are two new breweries in the finals, so it's not surprising that they can come up with new wines."

"If you want me to guess, this first jar of wine is either Ruyi Winery or the alley is deep, I have seen the judges drink Gaojia wine a few times in previous years, and none of them have this reaction."

"Do you have to guess it, we can all see if it's good or not."

……

The onlookers reacted differently, but they still guessed for the good, but after Xia Yan saw the reaction of the judges, his heart chuckled violently, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

Sure enough, after the ten judges exchanged their heads and ears, as if they had figured out something, one of the slightly older judges stood up and walked in the direction of the county master.

"Master Lee." The elder judge bowed, "I'm sorry to move to the wine table, we may be in some trouble." ”

The county magistrate presided over several wine fighting conferences, and it was the first time he encountered this situation, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came back to his senses, nodded in agreement, and followed the older judges to the wine table.

"Gentlemen, what happened?" The county magistrate frowned and said, inexplicably, he was the same as Xia Yan, and he had a premonition that he didn't want to.

"Hey, it's hard to put into words." The elder judge didn't explain, took a new wine bowl, poured out some of the wine in the opened wine jar, and handed it to the county master, "My lord, you can taste it first." ”

The county magistrate took the wine bowl with a suspicious face and took a sip.

This taste...... Seems a little weird?

With doubts, the county master drank again.

"Poof!" As soon as the wine was drunk into his mouth, the county magistrate spit it out.

This is wine, this is clearly water, if it is ordinary water, but this is the muddy water in the ditch!

This thing can't be drunk on weekdays, so how can it appear in the finals of the wine fight.

The wine competition is wine, how can there be water, and it is impossible to appear in the muddy water in this ditch!

The onlookers have been paying attention to the direction of the judges' seat, and seeing that the county magistrate reacted so violently, they knew that something big must have happened without anyone to explain it.

For a while, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what would happen next, and they didn't know what the county master would do, but they were more interested in what the county master had drunk than those.

There are many people who have watched the wine fight several times, but none of them have seen today's scene.

In previous years, the finals did not start smoothly and ended smoothly.

The judges drank, evaluated, and voted, and they were tired of watching this set, and this year there was finally a little bit of a problem, although it was a pity that they couldn't see the results immediately, but they still had a little inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

After all, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement at all.

The people watching the excitement over there were eager to make things bigger and bigger, but a few people under the pergola didn't have such thoughts.

No matter whose wine the wine in the jar is, it has nothing to do with them, and if something happens to one family, I am afraid that the competition between the other two will be difficult to continue.

What's more, judging from the current situation, they don't know whose jar of wine belongs at all, so the representatives of these wineries all frowned, paying nervous attention to the county master's reaction.

If anyone present knows whose family this jar of mud wine belongs to, I'm afraid that only the county master is the only one.

This was the wine he poured with his own hands, and he sealed it with his own hands, and even the order of placement was decided by him in advance, how could he not know who this wine belonged to?

Now was not the time to study this, he had to figure out the truth first.

The county magistrate frowned, walked to the jar of muddy water, picked up the jar and sniffed it carefully.

This taste...... Something isn't right.

He remembered it clearly at the time, as soon as this jar of wine was opened, there was a strong aroma coming from the surface, and the county lord, who had held several wine fighting conferences and had seen many good wines, couldn't help but drool. It was with great difficulty that he resisted the urge to drink and poured all the wine into the jar for the competition.

He was the organizer of the wine fight, not a judge, and he was not qualified to drink until the results were known.

Although I don't know how this wine tastes, but the county master of the aroma remembers it clearly, this jar of mud and water is full of sass, how can it be the jar of wine he prepared yesterday?

There must be something wrong with this, and he must investigate it carefully.

The wine fight conference is a major event in Qin County, and some people dare to make trouble in the finals, which is simply lawless.

The county magistrate wanted to leave immediately to investigate the case thoroughly, but his other identity did not allow him to do so.

He is not only the county magistrate of Qin County, he is also the host of the wine fighting conference today, if even he leaves desperately, how should this competition go on today?

You know, there are thousands of people waiting for the results of the game outside the stadium under the scorching sun, and if they don't give an explanation today, how can those people accept it?

If they find out that today's game is canceled, I'm afraid there will be some big mess.

If nothing else, even if it is for the sake of the security of Qin County, he will let today's game go smoothly.

Therefore, the matter of arresting the murderer can only be put aside, and for now he still has to deal with the matter at hand first.

Although from the current point of view, there is only this jar of muddy water, but for the sake of insurance, the county master still opened the rest of the wine and sniffed it carefully.

The thick aroma came to the surface, and the county lord finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these two jars of wine have not been replaced, and they are still as fragrant as yesterday.

Only one of the wines was replaced with muddy water, but for the sake of fairness, the county magistrate decided to inform the three wineries about the matter.

The county magistrate beckoned to the catcher who was standing on the side, and the catcher immediately walked over, and after some exchange, catcher nodded and walked in the direction of the pergola.

"The high shopkeeper, the pay shopkeeper, the county master is invited." Catch quickly and salute.

"Oh...... Good. The few people who were named were stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Brother Guancha, do you know what's going on?" Not being called by name was completely expected by Xia Yan, but she was really worried about the situation over there, and couldn't help but ask.
