Chapter 301: Wine Tasting under High Pressure

People in the midst of war are anxious and panicked, they don't know what will happen in the next second, they don't see their future path.

Gradually Maria opened the Colonel's heart to music as a force for herself in her struggle against a difficult fate.

They gradually fell in love with each other and eventually came together.

However, happiness in real life often does not come smoothly to people's hearts, but the situation begins to become serious.

** The elements had entered their homeland and extended their claws to Austria, and Berlin sent a telegram to the Colonel asking him to take up a post in Germany, and the Colonel, who loved his country more than himself, would not agree.

In order to protect his wife and children from being hurt by **, he decided to flee with his family, but they were surrounded by the Germans.

The Colonel and Maria once again sang the familiar "Snow Lotus", and although they were surrounded by the ** elements who were eyeing them, all the Austrians present burst into tears and sang aloud with the Colonel's family.

The Colonel was a great man who loved his family, his wife, and his children, and he was also a brave patriot who would rather die than give in.

It can be said that Maria brought the sound of music to the Colonel's family, and this family interpreted the soul of music for all Austrians.

In the dark moment, he used his meager strength to fight against the boundless darkness, and he used the power of music to lead and inspire the Austrian compatriots to defend the motherland together, and vowed not to bow to the **.

The theme of the story is sublimated here and ends in this passionate and generous singing.

And the music reminds countless people who are in darkness and despair all the time, never give up hope, never give up hard work, for their own future destiny, for the future destiny of the country, fight, fight, fight!

The sound of music is definitely the most powerful brainwashing tool of the 20th century, and Li Yaoyang can't wait to get started.

And as a family carnival, it couldn't be more suitable for the first performance, and with the beautiful scenery of the garden of the Atlantic Theater Center, it couldn't be more suitable.

As for the Atlantic battlefield, he is not ready to let it go, and when the story is written, it will be put first, and when Hollywood develops, it will be useful!

And there is a lot to reflect on in this story, such as children, every child is an individual, and he is not what he is because of what you want him to become.

In particular, simple, rough and coercive education will not only suppress the naughty nature of children, but even more may vent their naughtiness to other places, and even worse, it will develop the "naughtiness" that cannot be released into evil.

Even if Mr. Colonel is very strict with them, they will still make pranks in order to get rid of the tutor, which is actually a bit of a bad sign!

If you can't take advantage of the situation for your child, then he will "become bad", and he can't guess the possible consequences, and he doesn't know the benefits.

Mr. Colonel, he treats his children like soldiers, and even five- and six-year-olds.

And that whistle is an order, and when they hear the whistle, they reflexively occupy a row, especially the children who have just come out of the water, drenched, and stand very well when they hear the whistle.

Some rules are a good thing, but they are different in age, the eldest is sixteen, the youngest is only five years old, and they are facing their own father, and when the father becomes a commander who can only give orders, it is not very friendly to these children.

In what capacity should they face his father?

That's why Mr. Colonel heard the children singing, and he sang along, and the children gathered around his father, and then Mr. Colonel realized his mistake.

There is also the change of human nature under war

For example, the little newspaper courier, who for the first time delivered a letter from the Baroness, and exchanged love and danced with the eldest daughter of Mr. Officer.

At this time, he was a naΓ―ve young man, full of imagination about the future, and he was very enthusiastic to remind the colonel to be careful.

The second time he sent a letter to Mr. Mak, probably wanting to see his lover again, looking around there.

But when Mr. Colonel found out, he made a gesture that was very popular at the time and shouted a slogan, probably this sentence, which made Mr. Colonel very disgusted, so he was very fierce to him and told him to get out.

But the messenger felt resentment in his heart. He resents those who are on high above.

The third time, this time he didn't have the feeling of a lover anymore, maybe there was a trace of tenderness, but the sense of alienation was strong.

In these turbulent times, it may be best for him to follow a new leader, and he has the opportunity to become the powerful man he once wanted to be.

The fourth time, after the concert, Mr. Colonel's family fled, and it was he who reported it, and there were many people in the venue at that time, and it was impossible that no one noticed that they had fled.

But everyone else was silent, and he came to report, apparently that he had disregarded the general interests of the nation in order to fight for merit.

The fifth time the officer's family fled to the monastery, and he was the only one who found out, and in the face of the begging of his former lover, he was indifferent, and only wanted to capture Mr. Colonel for meritorious service.

But after all, he was too young and not that ruthless man, so the gun was snatched away by the colonel, and he shouted that the person was here, but the colonel did not shoot and fled.

In the story, the colonel is flying the Austrian flag at home, and at the ball, he is warned that it is out of place, and the colonel is an ostrich who cannot recognize the situation.

Uncle Xi asked him to be an official, but he did not go, and resolutely did not serve the reactionaries.

The most obvious is the Austrian folk song Edelweiss, which was sung by the colonel at the concert, and finally choked up and couldn't make a sound, or the children and Maria came to the rescue, and their soulful singing even caused the audience to sing in chorus.

The colonel went home and saw the flag hanging on the door and pulled it down

There is also a unique Austrian dance, which is the love dance that the colonel and Maria do outside during the ball.

In fact, the story has a strong Austrian style, from the story to the music, and the educational philosophy and patriotism contained in it are still valuable even if they cross national and national borders.

The story is fine, the only thing that needs to be changed is the timeline, and the story location is better in a rural country in the ugly country, not Austria!

After the revision, he wrote the story in a letter and sent it to Pelop, and if he was satisfied, the opening show was set.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Albert hurried and made the first batch of 2,000 bottles of 'Bison', inheriting the wild character of 'Wild Boar'.

The boar's bottle has tusks, while the bison's bottle has horns, both are very chic shapes, and the rugged style is easily accepted.

500 bottles of this batch were left for the dignitaries to drink in Atlantic City, and the rest were sent to Philadelphia.

He's going to use those 1,500 bottles to completely dry up the Philadelphia market!

To make a splash, he plans to host a small tasting party at the bar.

Holding a wine tasting party under the pressure of the prohibition office, this is equivalent to Lao Wang next door entering the next door when he knows that the other party's husband is about to get off work, and what he pursues is a thrill!

Originally, he just wanted to make a gimmick and sell alcohol by the way.

But when Cecil found out, he offered to host this wine tasting, and even told him not to care about anything, just take the wine with him when the time comes.

Li Yaoyang is naturally happy, the wine is ready-made, and there is no need to bother at all.

When everything was ready, he took Emma to an ancient castle on the outskirts, which was once a plantation estate, mainly for oak trees, but was later bought by a private person and converted into a ranch.

It wasn't until he entered the manor that he heard from Hendry that this was Cecil's home.

In the evening, the flow of people is like weaving, vehicles come and go, and the manor is not lively.

Some of tonight's guests are gourmets, and some are pure newcomers, presumably brought to the world.

For first-time wine tastings, or for first-time whisky tastings, such occasions are not friendly.

Because it is difficult to understand whisky in depth by relying solely on whisky books, such as what kind of smell is the smoky, fruity, and peated smoke in whisky.

It is only with the right tasting method that it can be transformed from a literal understanding into a sensory impression.

As a general rule, the organisers of the tastings do not ask too much about the dress code of the participants.

However, the vast majority of whisky consumers are high-end people, so when participating in a whisky tasting, you should not dress too casually.

For men, it is not necessary to wear expensive clothes to participate in the whisky tasting, but it is not advisable to dress too casually or too differently, which is easy to have a sense of visual distance from other participants.

The best option is a suit that is neither as rigid and formal as a tuxedo nor as casual as casual.

And for women, participating in a whisky tasting is more taboo than spraying too strong perfume.

Because whisky itself is a highly aromatic alcoholic beverage, if the perfume on the body is too strong, it may affect the whisky tasting.

At a whisky tasting, it's important to learn how to taste it, and it's just as important to communicate with other whisky friends.

Because tastings are often not as comprehensive, you can learn something that wasn't covered at the tasting by talking to experienced whisky fans.

When facing a group of strangers, the psychological tension and the difference in topics may lead to unsmooth communication between novices and gourmets, so how to solve this problem?

Whisky has evolved from its European origins to the present day, and has developed a lot of surrounding cultures.

If you're just a beginner, you may not be as good as those old gourmets when it comes to professional whisky, but doing some homework on whisky can probably help you open up such an awkward situation.

For example, talk about the history of whisky and golf, talk about the eighteen holes of golf and the origin of whiskey; Maybe you might also talk about the history of the Scottish plaid skirt and bagpipes.

Whisky is not like a low-alcohol wine like wine, and its tasting needs to be divided into three steps: looking, smelling, and tasting.

When you get the wine, don't rush to drink it, look at the color of the wine first.

Whisky can vary in colour due to the use of oak casks, some of which are dark brown, amber or even a little golden, which is important information.

Whisky that has been matured for 10 years or more has a very strong aroma.

Place the tasting glass on the edge of your nose and gently smell the aroma.

If you can't tell the difference at one time, you can repeat it several times, or follow the organizer's instructions for tasting.

When tasting whisky, try to spread the whisky evenly throughout your mouth, so that your throat and tongue can experience the taste of the wine, and you can experience the changes in taste and texture. If it is some good old wine, it has a satisfactory performance in terms of taste and sweetness.

Li Yaoyang is one of the organizers, so he came a little early, so he looked for something to eat by the way.

Tasting wine when you're full is also a tip that doesn't need to be explained.

Find a clean place, prepare a snack, and eat a bite to eat before the tasting session begins, so as not to get drunk after two drinks.

Then prepare enough mineral water to rehydrate and relieve drunkenness, and at the same time reset the taste.

If you want to continue your sober tasting after three rounds, it's best to taste the whisky in order of low to high alcohol, light peat to heavy peat, and short to long vintage.

Then, the organizer will provide you with a tasting registration form, and at the same time taste the whisky, just note down the flavors you like or dislike, such as "smoky", "soft in the mouth", "clear color", etc.

In addition, the choice of glass chosen by the organizer is important for the success of watching a wine tasting.

The flavor of whisky changes depending on the shape of the glass, so choose your whisky glass carefully.

The whisky glass must have enough space for the nose to enjoy the aromas of the whisky, and a tightened mouth will help the nose intercept more layers of aromas.

Therefore, the more classic is the tulip glass, the belly of the cup is the shape of a tulip bud, the mouth of the cup is tightened to condense the aroma, and the shape of the high feet makes the temperature of the wine not rise due to the temperature of the hand, especially suitable for pure drinking high-alcohol, heavy body whisky.

There is also a pure glass that resembles a spittoon, with a flat base, a round belly, and a large opening, which is the most pungent to reduce the irritation of whisky, especially suitable for high-vintage or rare whisky.

Of course, a classic cocktail glass is fine, but as the name suggests, it's okay to use it on the rocks, water, or soda for whiskey, but not for tasting.

Once you've started your tasting, observe the color of the whiskey with your eyes.

The colour of whisky depends on the process of cask maturation, and generally speaking, the longer the whisky is stored, the darker the whisky will be.

Look at the length of the whisky hanging glass, slowly tilt the glass in your hand, and then return to its original shape.

When the wine flows back from the wall of the glass, the wine marks left behind are the hanging glasses of the wine.

The speed of the wine scar flow is called "long hanging cup", and the speed of flow is relatively fast is called "short hanging cup".

Whisky with a long hanging glass is more mellow, older and has a higher alcohol content.

Then you can drink it when you smell it, and the wine tasting is generally pure.

Pure drinking means that it is 100% pure and has no additives, allowing the whisky to have a direct impact on the senses with its powerful personality.

It can be said that it is the traditional way to best appreciate the original color and flavor of whisky, and most of the pure drinking methods are connoisseurs.

No matter how bad it is, you can show your man's side!

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
