Chapter 61 The matter of wine

Chen Chen and Victor walked towards the wine shop, while Sherlock and Harry were discussing equestrianism and swordsmanship. It seemed that these people would have a common language together.

"Master, how did you resuscitate the champion just now? I'm curious, you didn't seem to take anything when you came out." Victor hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question he wanted to know.

Chen Chen was silent for a while, and just when Victor was about to apologize, Chen Chen spoke: "Victor, can I completely trust you?"

This is a very good question. It seems like asking Victor, but also like asking himself. Victor heard Chen Chen's question and fell silent. He didn't know what to say to make Chen Chen believe him. He thought about it.

For a while, the two of them walked in silence, and finally Victor mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say.

"Although I don't know what kind of secret the master has, what I want to tell the master is that since I am your steward now, I will not betray you. It is you who should give me life and glory.

It's you, and I will always serve you. Your Excellency, Viscount, please accept my loyalty and swear in the name of God." Victor walked in front of Chen Chen and knelt down on one knee as if he was taking an oath, or maybe it was an oath.

Chen Chen looked at the old housekeeper in front of him, and it seemed that he really wanted to get to the core of the family.

"Get up, since you have sworn allegiance, then I promise you, you want to know what it is, it is normal, I am not an ordinary person, or I am one of those people with super powers that people see in movies." After that,

, Chen Chen punched a tree on the side of the road, and then Victor saw a ball of golden light fly out from Chen Chen's hand, directly breaking the tree. It was a tree that was several decades old.

The beech tree just broke.

He saw the old butler rushing to the side of the beech tree. When Chen Chen thought he was going to see the effect, Victor said: "Master, you have interrupted the good tree that has been standing for decades now. What a pity. I have been waiting for you longer."

I'll sell it in a few years when it's older, it'll be worth more money." After saying that, he looked at Chen Chen reproachfully.

Chen Chen, who did not expect such a situation, smiled awkwardly and said: "Is this it? It just happened for a while. Let's go to the wine bar. I can't wait to see the wine."

In fact, Victor was also surprised that Chen Chen had such power. Although he was once one of the most famous butlers in London and had heard of many strange people in London, the butler was a butler after all, and he was not qualified to see him.

These people, so when he saw Chen Chen's ability, he was still surprised, but he concealed it more naturally.

When the two came to the winery, Rum was directing the workers inside.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, you lazy guys. I am usually the most active when I ask you to eat. Why are you so slow now when I ask you to move the wine? A barrel only weighs more. Hurry up. Before the master comes, we have to move it to the cellar.

Go, put these wines in a cool place, and you'd better be careful when moving them. These are top-quality wines. If they are damaged and sold, you won't be able to afford the compensation."

As soon as Chen Chen walked to the door, he heard Rum roaring. If he had a whip in his hand, he would definitely look like a slave owner. Chen Chen frowned. He didn't like such a person. Victor noticed his

Expression, explained on the side.

"Master, you can't blame Rum. You must know that our wages are very high in Wales. As long as it is manual labor, almost all jobs are not as high as ours. However, Rum reported to me a few days ago that the wages here are very high."

The workers were often lazy, and they would steal grapes from the vineyards for sale, so I asked Rum to implement a high-pressure policy. If someone couldn't stand it, they would naturally leave on their own, but obviously, no one wanted to leave."

Hearing Victor's explanation, Chen Chen felt much better. After learning that someone actually stole his things in the vineyard, he immediately became angry and ordered Victor: "If you catch such a person again in the future, just kill him directly."

Fire him and send him to the police station, let's go in and take a look."

When Rum was directing the workers to move, he saw Chen Chen and Victor, and immediately came over and said: "Master, you came at the right time. I have ordered them to move the wine to a cool cellar. Do you want to go and have a look."

"

"Of course, I came here just to see my wine. How is the wine this time? I want to sell a batch before Christmas. How much wine will be sold?" Chen Chen asked Rum.

"The wine this time is great, Master. You know, I have been making wine for so many years, and I have never had a wine as good as this one. I think it has something to do with the grapes in the Master's vineyard and the water designated by the Master."

, As for the master who wants to sell a batch for Christmas, of course there is no problem, but master, you probably need to buy some wine barrels, and the barrels are not enough." As soon as Rum mentioned the issue of wine, he immediately became energetic.

"Well! If you need more wine barrels, just ask Victor directly. If you have any needs in the future, as long as they are reasonable, you can ask Victor. He will help you. Go down with me to look at the wine and explain it to me.

"Chen Chen said as he walked inside, while Rum followed step by step.

"Master, please come with me. I will take you to taste our own wine." With that, Chen Chen was brought to a small cubicle, where a set of drinking utensils were placed.

Chen Chen walked over curiously, picked up the cup on the table and asked, "Why are there so many cups? Is there anything special about it?"

"Of course, Master, you will often attend some cocktail parties in the future, so you must understand these common sense. Let me explain it to you. First of all, what you are holding is a champagne glass, which is a glass used for drinking sparkling wine.

, and the one you have on hand is a Bordeaux glass, which is used for drinking wine blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, and the other ones are Burgundy glasses for drinking Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay for dry white wines.

Cup, the general classification of wine is these categories. As long as you know these, general wine will be enough to deal with it." When it comes to wine, Rum's explanation is like a university professor.

Chen Chen was really interested in these, so he asked: "Those you just mentioned are cups, so are there more types of wine?"

"Of course, wine is divided into many categories. According to color, they are white wine, red wine, and rosé wine. If they are divided according to the amount of sugar, they are dry wine, semi-dry wine, semi-sweet wine, and sweet wine. Of course, you can actually do these.

You don't need to know, naturally there are people like us here to serve you." Rum saw that Chen Chen's face was still a little unnatural, and he knew that he had said too much.

"Okay, actually I don't care much about these. The key is how to drink. I heard that drinking wine is very particular. Let's talk about it. I don't want to make a fool of myself in the future." Chen Chen thought about how to drink wine correctly.

"Actually, it's very simple. The first thing is color." Rum took out a cup and poured half a glass of wine from the oak barrel, then came to the white background board.

"The color range depends on whether you are tasting white wine or red wine. White wine has light yellow-green, straw yellow, golden yellow, gold, dark gold, Madeira and brown; red wine has purple, ruby, brick red,

Reddish brown, brown." It is obvious that this cup is ruby ​​red now.

"In addition, it means shaking. Please see the owner here. Shaking will release ester, ether and acetaldehyde, and combine with oxygen to make the wine aroma. Then smell the wine. Of course, smelling the wine requires professional ability, so even if the owner

I can’t smell anything, but I don’t know how to describe this feeling.” At this time, Rum turned into an expert in wine tasting.

"Finally, it's wine tasting. For most people, wine tasting means taking a sip of wine and swallowing it quickly. But this is not called wine tasting. Wine tasting is something that is done with taste buds. Remember it

It fills all around your mouth; both sides of the tongue, the back of the tongue, the tip of the tongue, and extends to the bottom of the throat. If you drink wine like most people, you will ignore all the important tasting taste buds. Come on, master, you have a glass too."

As he spoke, he poured a glass for Chen Chen and Victor each.

When Chen Chen drank the wine brewed by the expert, he felt that it was indeed different. As for whether his own grapes were better or the expert's technology was better, it was obvious. You gave the expert a basket of rotten grapes to see if he could make good wine. Taste

Drinking his own wine, Chen Chen was very satisfied.

"Victor, remember to take out a few barrels later. I want to give them away." Chen Chen thought of a few people. His wine was out, so of course he had to invite his close friends to share it.

"Good master, I will remember it." Victor was also very satisfied with the taste of the wine.

"Rum, you did a good job. I really believed you right. You will continue to be responsible for brewing wine from now on. By the way, when the barley comes out, you will make a batch of whiskey. Whiskey sells much better than wine in England."

Chen Chen praised Rum and then walked out with Victor.

Rum was excited in the room for a while, and finally got the job safely. When he came here, he was afraid that he would not be able to satisfy the Viscount. Now it seems that he is settled as the head brewer.

When Rum saw that Chen Chen and the others had gone out, he hurriedly ran outside to see Chen Chen and the others off. It was Chen Chen's business whether they were needed or not, but whether or not to see them off was a matter of Rum's attitude. Don't think that foreigners are stupid and don't know how to take pictures of the boss.

Flattery, it’s the same everywhere.

"Victor, how do you think I can develop my influence and let everyone know about me?" Chen Chen asked Victor on the way back.

"Master, I think you should develop your own economic strength first, and then consider the issue of influence. Once you have money, you only need to do a few good deeds, such as donating some money to African refugees, or developing your own business in the country.

Then recruit more people and place more positions. Even the Queen will thank you. You must know that the unemployment rate in the UK is still very high." Victor thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
