Even though Eric said this, Owen Gable was self-aware, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm glad you can say that, but... I don't think my wine is better than h? c?d, I've drank that kind of wine, and I bought that kind of wine specially for experimentation... Haha, good wine is good wine. It's not good if you can't tolerate others saying it's bad. Come on... let's start Let's have a drink." The three raised their glasses and took another sip each.
The three of them drank from the wine cellar to the lawn outside the manor. Next to a row of trees beside the lawn, a servant helping here set up a grill to help grill some food. Then another person brought it over and put it on a long table. It seemed that the three of them had a good chat, especially Zhen Fan and Owen Gable. In some aspects of wine making, sometimes when encountering some difficult things to solve, when he frowned, Zhen Fan gave him a little advice, and he felt a sense of enlightenment.
Zhen Fan is not afraid of him stealing lessons. This person's wine is delicious, but if you want to reach the level of h?c?d, I'm afraid it can't be done with a few commands, and the actual operation is also very important. But for Owen Gable, this really feels like a treasure.
In the end, Owen Gable was not even willing to let Zhen Fan leave, and insisted on keeping him in the manor for a night. Zhen Fan is optional, this man is a wine fanatic and is very concerned about wine making, which is why he can keep his own manor and his own vineyard. Many people have changed their careers. After all, many of the land here have been converted into various high-rise buildings and vineyards that were originally planted. Either be acquired at a high price, or change careers by yourself. In the face of technological development. It is only natural that such a primitively operated workshop-style manor be swallowed up.
But Owen Gable persisted. And his persistence. It also gave him some rewards. After going through the most difficult time, his only surviving vineyard has become a landscape of this reinforced concrete city. Instead, those who are in charge of the city feel that there is a fragrant wild flower blooming next to the city. It is also a very sentimental thing. Therefore, these dignitaries and rich people who devoured the dignity of the grapes in the past persuaded Owen Gable to continue the management of the estate.
The reward is that all the wines brewed in his estate will be purchased by the people here, and the price is right. There are also people who often come here to visit and vacation. But Owen Gable fears being interrupted. Only some unique country house-like accommodations were built on the outskirts of the manor, and services were provided. This measure is definitely a great attraction. Just imagine, drinking wine next to the grape rack and then eating barbecue, this day must be very comfortable, so this place has become a good place for city people to relax and vacation. And Owen Gable also made a lot of money.
Of course he was impatient to run such a thing, only thinking about how to make wine. So he simply sold such a leisure and vacation business for a big price in the end.
Then he retreated back to the manor, concentrated on making and tasting wine, and lived a very comfortable life. But it is also very deserted, which is how it looks to others.
He is full of many eccentricities that a person has. Owen Gable had few friends. There are very few people who can talk to him. He is withdrawn, indifferent, and rarely communicates with people, only people he likes. He will only say a few more words, when the words are not speculative. He saw off the guest and left without saying a word. Today is an exception.
"It's been a long time since I entertained guests like this!" Owen Gable said with a smile to Zhen Fan, "Actually... the last time I entertained guests was several years ago. I am a freak in the eyes of others... ...Yes, don't look at me with such surprised eyes, that's how I describe myself, I'm a freak..." Owen Gable said, laughing again, "But that's okay, I saved a lot of trouble Time for those worldly people to deal with."
"It tastes good!" Zhen Fan wiped his lips with a napkin, then put down the knife and fork, and said with a smile, "At least you didn't regard me and my apprentice as freaks, because people always say that birds of a feather flock together. People are divided into groups. I think it makes sense."
"This sentence is quite philosophical, I think it's very good!" Owen Gabriel smiled, then waved to the fat maid who was carrying the plate, and said to Zhen Fan, "Later, we After some coffee, I went to see my vineyard, to be honest, I prefer to be in there, it is much easier to deal with grapes than people... make us a cup of coffee each, thank you very much , Tapo!" He turned his head and said to the fat maid.
"Very happy, sir!" The fat maid named Tabo smiled and walked towards the house in the manor. After a while, three cups of coffee were served, and one cup was placed in front of each of them, "Sir, do you need to bake something else?" Eric.
Owen looked at Eric, then at Zhen Fan, and Zhen Fan smiled and said, "Just say hello to this gentleman, don't worry about me."
Owen nodded, and said to the maid: "Okay, just do what this gentleman said...Mr. Zhen, can I invite you to visit my vineyard together? Although at this time... It’s getting late, but the vineyards at this time are the most peaceful, which is also a very beautiful feeling.”
"Ha - I had a lot of experiences for the first time today, tasting wine in the cellar for the first time, going to the vineyard at dusk for the first time, and...Of course, I still enjoy this first time. Once." Zhen Fan nodded with a smile, then drank the coffee slowly, and the two stood up. Owen said goodbye to Eric with a smile, looking very gentlemanly.
Zhen Fan said to Eric: "Enjoy your dinner!" He made a gesture of shooting at him, and Eric immediately leaned back in cooperation, and then talked about his greasy The tongue sticks out, the mouth and eyes are crooked, as if he has been shot and died.
The vineyard at dusk really has a special flavor. The two walked in it, discussing the growth of the grapes, and then the winemaking. The more two people discussed like this, the more they felt that the other party was their confidant. Owen was very interested in talking, and the two of them walked aimlessly. It was getting dark and they hadn't returned yet.
"So... what do you think of h?c?d wine?" Zhen Fan felt that he could test him, so he said, "As you said, I also drank h?c?d, and I always thought it was A perfect wine."
"H?c?d wine?" Owen Gabriel smiled, "It's a perfect wine, but... I have a feeling that there is no problem with the original brewing of this wine. It's like a comparison In good craftsmanship, another foreign thing is added to make the original craftsmanship perfect. But... its shortcomings are here. This is also when I drink this wine, a very regrettable place. What a pity."
"What?" Zhen Fan didn't expect him to raise dissatisfaction with h?c?d. He had been waiting for Owen Gable's compliments, but he didn't expect to hear this, so he smiled calmly, "So... what is it that makes people regret?"
"Uh, it's the problem of the fusion of the two. The original craft is not bad, but it's just good. And the other kind of craft that is mixed in can make up for the shortcomings of the original craft, but they are two different kinds of crafts after all. Things are mixed together, it is very obvious, left is left, right is right.” Owen Gabble shrugged and said, “Maybe no one can taste like me. This is a hobby of mine, let’s say Not one iota of difference."
Zhen Fan didn't know there was such a layer. Originally, my own wine-making process came from Taoism, but there is no complete wine-making process and method in Taoist classics, so Zhen Fan can only discuss with Alfonso to come up with a set of wine-making procedures, and Such a program is based on Alfonso's winemaking experience. Although I have continuously improved it for him, I have never thought about the problem of integration. Maybe it's because his Taoist winemaking method is too heaven-defying, covering up all the bad things, so no flaws have been exposed so far.
But once a real master brewer or wine taster, like Irving Gable, really puts his heart and soul into studying the taste and spreads it everywhere, perhaps the myth of his own h?c?d wine will come to an end. Thinking of this, Zhen Fan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
"It's a pity that I can't meet the master winemaker, otherwise... even if I use up all my family property, I will explore with him a way to make a perfect wine. I believe that at that time h? c?d is the most perfect and outstanding wine in the world. Although... there is no wine that can surpass it, but... it can continue to evolve." Owen Gable said, his eyes It is full of longing.
What an alcoholic. This is Zhen Fan's evaluation of this person. Suddenly, an idea flashed into his mind. If he brought this guy into his winery, adding his own understanding to his own wine-making formula, he wondered if he could create a new wine. What kind of wine will come out. In short, people are very looking forward to. Although Alfonso Jennings, who wrote the h?c?d recipe with himself before, is also a very seasoned winemaker, but after all, something is still lacking. Not exactly a master at winemaking. And this person, through communicating with him, Zhen Fan absolutely believes that his wine making is much better than Alfonso, not only the difference in skills, but also the difference in wine culture. What Zhen Fan needs is not only to brew delicious wine, but also to create a new culture of wine. This is the root of the ultimate spread of his wine industry. (to be continued...)
