Chapter 2185 Wine Evaluation

There was no wine critic at this meeting. None of the people present were professional wine tasters, but they all acted in the same way when they picked up the cup. They first smelled it with their noses.

Zhou Shijie was no exception. He directly brought the wine glass closer, smelled it first, and squinted his eyes.

Then he slowly swung the entire cup, and the eight-percent-full wine inside immediately rippled. Of course, the whole move was done carefully, just for fear of spilling even a little bit, which would be heartbreaking.

"It's consistent with the rumors. It's a emerald-colored wine. It's worthy of the legendary monkey wine." Zhou Shijie said with emotion as he looked at the rippling wine.

Most white wines are colorless and transparent, and most of the colored wines are fruit wines, such as mulberry wine, but Monkey Wine is known as Baiguo Wine, which means there are many kinds of fruits in it. Just looking at this clear and green wine It’s hard to imagine how the wine was brewed.

Feeling like his saliva was about to drip out, Zhou Shijie hurriedly came closer to his mouth and took a small sip. Normal wine tasted either spicy or mellow, but Monkey Wine was different. The first sip he took in, it was soft and smooth, not like... The taste of the wine has the sweet and sour taste of fruit, mixed with a little bit of wine. If you taste it carefully, you will find the strong taste that comes with it. Generally, fruit wine definitely does not have such a strong taste.

This is why Monkey Wine is different from other fruit wines. It not only satisfies the smooth characteristics of fruit wines, but also has the stimulation of spirits.

As a chef, Zhou Shijie has a very sensitive tongue even though he is old. After tasting it deliberately, he felt the sweetness of pears, the sourness and sweetness of apples, the pure sweetness of lychees, etc. There are many but not complicated.

All concentrated in a small wine glass, every sip is all-encompassing, integrated and extremely harmonious.

"The taste is completely different from what I imagined. I haven't drunk such good wine in many years." Zhu Dakang looked intoxicated.

Obviously he is very satisfied with the monkey wine. Of course, even so, he is still as careful as ever when drinking. Instead of drinking in big sips, he cherishes small sips and tastes them in small sips, for fear of drinking too much. Not for a while.

"Indeed, I have always thought that fruit wine is not wine and is not strong, but the current monkey wine has subverted my senses." Mr. Wan also likes the taste.

"Chef Yuan took action, I knew it must be..." Ding Yuanshan couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

It must be thunder, the sky is falling and the earth is falling into the purple gold hammer, and the dog's head is trying to save his life.

“It’s not easy to master anything, but there are people who are good at everything.

"Mr. Ma's friend Mao Ming sighed.

"This guy is really good, he still needs to work harder." Although Mr. Ma tried hard to suppress the upward curve of the corners of his mouth, he still gave away the slightest hint.

Obviously he is very happy about Houerjiu and Yuanzhou's current achievements. He regards Yuanzhou as the heir and descendant of his craftsmanship. Even though Yuanzhou's cooking skills are already top-notch, there is nothing wrong with him being able to make waves in other fields. good.

There were thirty or forty people standing together, except for the sound of drinking and sighing, there was no other sound, it was too quiet.

"How's it going, Uncle Zhou, is this wine okay?" Yuan Zhou asked after looking at Zhou Shijie who was almost finished drinking.

"Xiao Yuan, don't speak for now. Let me finish the last sip before talking." Zhou Shijie said.

Zhou Shijie carefully turned the cup over and put it into his mouth. He poured the last drop of wine into his mouth and then smashed it in his mouth. He swung the cup a few times and put it down after making sure it was empty.

"You don't need any proof, this is monkey wine, although I have never drunk it. By the way, how much wine was poured just now, and how much is left?" Zhou Shijie asked subconsciously in a lowered voice at the end.

This is related to how much monkey wine he can take home. This is a very important issue that must be clarified.

"There are a total of thirty-five people present, including Uncle Zhou, a total of thirty-six people. Each person has 2 taels. A total of seven jins and two taels of wine have been consumed, leaving two jins and eighty taels." Yuan Zhou glanced around and figured it out. .

"Why are there so many people here?! These people who have nothing to do and want to drink all day long should have limited the number of people if they had known better." Zhou Shijie said.

It was simply too much for a group of people to drink so much of such a delicious wine.

Of course, this is Zhou Shijie's prejudice. The chefs present were all drinking the monkey wine slowly and cherishedly. Not to mention others, Zhu Dakang, Zhou Shijie's friend, must know more about wine.

But it's one thing to know, but it always hurts to see such top-quality wine disappear so easily.

Of course, complaints are complaints, and Zhou Shijie did not forget that today was a wine tasting conference for Yuan Zhou, so he straightened his clothes and stood on the podium.

"Everyone has tasted the Monkey Wine just now, so you have an idea of ​​the situation. Now let's get to the tasting part." Zhou Shijie said and got straight to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Dakang was the first to speak.

"Based on all the descriptions of monkey wine I've seen in books, even though I haven't actually drank it, I feel that it must be the most authentic when I drink it." Zhu Dakang said with a serious face.

The next person to speak was Mr. Wan Niang beside him. Everyone agreed with each other on the authenticity of Houer Wine.

Of course, at the end, someone couldn't help but asked if there was still wine. Of course, Zhou Shijie refused directly. The reason was quite good, "Such a precious wine is not Chinese cabbage. How can there be a lot of it? In Chef Yuan's bistro There is a supply of monkey wine, please take care of Xiao Yuan's business." Finally, everyone's attention was diverted.

This was something that had been confirmed with Yuan Zhou before, so Zhou Shijie said it without any pressure, but what he was thinking in his heart was, "It's really not easy to finally save the remaining two kilograms."

So for the next time, everyone gathered around Yuan Zhou to ask about the tavern. The regular customers of the tavern didn't know that a group of people were coming to compete with them for the few places in the tavern.

There were already too many monks and too little gruel, and more wolves and less meat. Now a new batch of people came in. A group of people headed by Chen Wei and Lao Lu were probably going to cry.

Just when Yuan Zhou was dealing with all kinds of strange problems from various people, the system came out to join in the fun.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, would you like to receive the reward?" the system displayed.

Yuan Zhou paused for a moment. He had completed quite a few hidden tasks, such as the first ones of "being famous throughout the city" and "self-developing the ultimate taste of dishes". I wonder what it is this time?

"Let's talk when I'm free." Yuanzhou thought silently in his heart.

Then he continued to chat with the people who squeezed in. Everyone tacitly kept the topic within the scope of monkey wine, but no one asked about the secret recipe or brewing method. They were all mature adults. No matter how curious you are, you can't ask such words.

In this atmosphere, the tasting conference came to a successful conclusion. It can be expected that Houer Wine will become famous in China tomorrow.
