Chapter 1538: New Tang City

The door of the cellar was locked with a copper lock, and it was not a vault, so there was no need to set up heavy protection, and a lock was enough.

A few years ago, there was an incident in which a maid stole wine from the cellar and sold it, and there were some rare editions of good wine, a bottle of which could be worth more than 100,000 yuan, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it was not at all worrying that it would not be able to find a market.

Many things in this manor are quite valuable, working here every day, it is inevitable that you will be stimulated by money to have evil thoughts, in the invisible corners of ornaments, oil paintings and other items, there are electronic sensors, things will be out of place will sound an alarm, relatively speaking, red wine is relatively easy to steal.

After that incident, Adolf's butler added a lock to the door, and every time the master needed it, he would open the door and go in to get it himself.

This old housekeeper who used to work in Princess Diana's mother's house, that is, the old British Earl Spencer's family, is now in his seventies, and his body is quite tough.

He has white hair, he is combed to the bare seam, the wrinkles on his face are very deep, his skin has age spots, his waist is still straight, he always wears a pair of white gloves, and he wears a black tuxedo all year round, Han Xuan guessed more than once that maybe there was only this one in the wardrobe of Adolf's housekeeper.

Professional full-time housekeepers who are engaged in this profession rarely quit their jobs suddenly, because after living in one place for a long time, the employer's family is like their own home, and they are reluctant to leave.

Unless they have been dismissed, sick, or too old to continue working, the stewards will continue to work, and when they are old, no manor will deserve their long-term dedication.

If you are willing to continue to stay, there is no problem to live until death, of course, there are exceptions, even if you leave the place where you work, according to their usual high income, it is not a problem to live a comfortable retirement life, this is a position that no one values, but it seems very important......

Hearing Han Xuan say that he was looking for a few bottles of liquor, Adolf's housekeeper was silent for a while, probably thinking of something bad, his face was a little tangled, and he said speechlessly: "I really don't understand, why Chinese people like to drink this kind of wine."

I've only tasted one sip, and not long after I came to work here, I knew I would never drink it a second time in my life, it was so bad it felt like I was drinking alcohol.

How about red wine? Whiskey is fine, I know where the gentleman's best liquor is, but if he asks, please say that you saw it yourself and took it with you, or I might be in a bit of trouble.

He is usually reluctant to drink the reserve, and several times he wanted to open a bottle of 1947 Cheval Cheval dry red wine, but in the end he was still reluctant to start, that bottle of wine is now impossible to buy with money, it is really the best wine.

If not, there are more than a dozen bottles of Snow White Champagne, which were just salvaged from the bottom of the sea this year, and you know their history, right?

Last month, I spent a full $2.4 million on fifteen bottles of Snow White Champagne, and now there are eleven bottles left, and the lord gave three bottles to others, and I drank one bottle myself, and I was lucky enough to taste half a glass, and it tasted great......"

Just this September, a batch of 2,000 bottles of Champagne-Heidsieck 1907 was salvaged by "treasure hunters" from a Swedish shipwreck on the bottom of the Finnish sea.

The ship was sunk by a German submarine in 1916 and was loaded with the snow champagne of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, which was rediscovered at auctions around the world for $275,000 per bottle, or $2.4 million for fifteen bottles, which is a bargain wholesale price.

"Haha! You're so funny.

I know them, those treasure hunters have made a lot of money this time, and the starting price is a bit high, but I think I can sell them all one day, and by the evening you can please open a bottle of Snow White Champagne for me to taste, I haven't drunk it yet.

Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Adolf, but no.

We Chinese have been fond of drinking liquor since thousands of years ago, just like the Chinese don't understand why residents of Western countries like to drink vodka, brandy, and whiskey, and you don't want to understand why Chinese people like to drink liquor, each with its own hobbies.

I'm going to entertain my dad's friends today, who are also Chinese, so it's better to bring liquor, and you can tell me where they are. ”

Hearing Han Xuan's words, the old housekeeper Adolf sighed helplessly and stopped persuading him.

Housekeepers have a professional habit of expressing their opinions on something, but they will not force the employer to do something, which is the professionalism that most housekeepers have, because no employer likes to hire a big-mouthed and wordy housekeeper.

The little master only needs liquor, so after the housekeeper Adolf opened the door, he took Han Xuan and his father and went straight to the wine cabinet where the liquor was placed.

No one knew this place better than Adolf, and the old man had never been in a few times, and he usually needed to clean before the other servants were allowed in.

The total area of the wine cellar is about 200 square meters, and when you enter it, it is a staircase leading to the ground, which is undoubtedly located underground, which is conducive to controlling the temperature and prolonging the "life" of the wine.

There are all kinds of wine in the wine cabinet, purchased from all over the world, and there is a special person responsible for collecting, coming here is like entering a wine museum, even the air has a faint aroma of wine, and the fat Ding who comes with it is almost drunk.

The ventilation system runs all year round, so there is no dampness and musty smell that is common in other wine cellars, and the floor is clean, and the rows of wine cabinets are lit up, which looks very beautiful.

"There are more than 1,700 bottles of liquor stored here, and there are only so many liquors, and there are also shelves next to it.

I don't know the quality of liquor, so I can only put the same bottles together, what need please feel free, I can't understand Chinese, I can't help you, I'll go find a packing box first, so that you can take it later. ”

After seeing Han Xuan nodding, Adolf's housekeeper walked not far away alone.

Daddy's eyes searched for the wine shelf, and he said, "What about the Moutai used in the founding ceremony and state banquet?" Where did it go, did you find it? ”

"I'm looking for it, the bottles are all placed horizontally, I can only see the cap, I can't see the label, you go and carry a ladder for me."

Soon, Daddy Han pushed a wooden ladder equipped with pulleys and walked over, Han Xuan climbed up after setting it up, looking left and right, it was easier than expected, because on the paper of the bottle, "Founding Ceremony" was clearly written, and the words "Lai Mao" were written below.....
