Chapter 217 Award Yourself a Gold Medal [11,600 Monthly Votes Plus More Updates]
Looking at the intermediate turntable that shone with extra bright golden light, Mr. Wang took a deep breath, then turned around and picked up the decanter covered in crushed ice, and poured himself a glass of red wine.
The red wine is the genuine brand of Chateau Latour. The 2003 cellar wine received perfect scores from Parker, Falstaff, and "Wine Review", as well as 99 points from Jeff River and 98 points from "Wine Spectator".
Historically, the most successful year for Chateau Latour was 2003.
The bottle of wine in front of Wang Yan was truly brewed in 2004. It has been cellared to this day. It has just entered the drinking period and will remain at its peak for at least 30 years.
Harvesting in one year and brewing in the next year, or even storing grapes using special techniques for later brewing, is the real norm in the wine industry.
Wang Yan understands the secrets more and more, so he can choose such a most special red wine.
The 2003 Latour is far superior to the 1982 Lafite in terms of quality and taste, but the price is only one-third of the former.
Of course, price is not the point.
The point is, on the premise of ensuring that it is genuine, this is the highest quality wine that Wang Yan can buy in Star City.
Star City has Lafite, Haut-Brion, and Romanée-Conti, but the perfect wines from those wineries are not authentic.
It's not about money, it's about the lack of connections at that level.
The bottle of 03 Latour in front of me is from a friend contacted by Mr. Ai from the Kerry Hotel in Shanghai.
Ms. Hu, the vice president of the Star City Red Wine Association, runs a red wine foreign trade company and has her own wine cellar. She is willing to sell a bottle of 03 Latour to Wang Yan to make a friend.
He said frankly: "If it weren't for the reputation of a good friend, and you were willing to pay three times the price, I might not be willing to sell it to you. In fact, I would rather give you a bottle of genuine 1982 Lafite for 400,000."
True Gil exaggerates.
But it’s not an exaggeration at all.
The 2003 Latour sold for a high price of 7,400 pounds at Christie's as early as 2012, and it was not even ready for drinking at that time.
Three years later, if there is no £8,500 at auction, it is basically impossible to get it.
As we all know, the import tariffs on famous wines are very high. After all the miscellaneous calculations, the various expenses in China have to be increased by at least 50%, and it can easily be sold for 125,000 yuan.
Wine dealers and collectors are not in a hurry to get rid of this 2003 super wine.
What is the concept of the peak period still being 30 to 50 years away?
It means that no matter how you sell it now, you will lose money.
Wang Yan spent 150,000 yuan to get this bottle of wine. It was actually President Jia Liai repaying a favor. Isn't it ridiculous?
All in all, this is the best quality red wine that Wang Yan can taste at this stage.
Wang Yan slowly shook the red wine glass, sniffed for a moment, then took a mouthful of red wine, letting his tongue fully contact the wine, and then swallowed it completely.
When first tasted, the tannins are rich and the taste is full.
When I swallowed it, I felt a strong and powerful rush of energy.
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt it was long and gentle again.
What a wonderful layering!
With a balance of hardness and softness and a complex taste, it is indeed the master’s choice!
It was the first time for Wang Yan to taste red wine with such a rich and wonderful taste. For a moment, he felt a sense of satisfaction that "the money was well spent" welled up in his heart, making his mood very happy.
Ding!
[You truly appreciate the beauty of top-quality red wine, feel happy, and activate a mysterious reward]
【Wine Tasting Card】
【Disposable Card】
[Wine is consumed but not drunk. Shenhao can get drunk occasionally, but he cannot always appear drunk in front of the world]
[Wine tasting is not a necessary skill for Shenhao, but it can improve your taste appreciation]
[When you decide to use this card, the system will give you 5 glasses of wine, and you will rate them]
[The closer the score is to the actual score, the higher the critical hit multiplier you can get]
[The critical hit multiplier will be multiplied by the price of a single drink as your reward]
[Note: This card will expire on September 23, 2016, please use it before]
After successfully receiving the reward, Wang Yan was filled with ecstasy and punched hard.
The description of the European Emperor’s arrival buff is very clear——
[Within 30 minutes, your luck will soar to an extremely high level]
[After the time limit is over, all critical hit probabilities in the system will be halved within 7 days, but this bad luck will not continue into your life]
After the "time limit ends", the chance of a critical hit is halved.
"Within the time limit", you will be lucky.
Therefore, within the time limit, the European Emperor's critical hit probability to the system should be increased!
The bonus may not necessarily be very high, but Wang Yan specially selected a bottle of high-scoring wine that he had never tasted before to artificially increase the chance of a critical hit. It was extremely cool.
Sure enough, all the calculations were in vain!
Next, it’s time to try other categories!
Just in time, the microwave oven in the kitchen suddenly made a "ding" sound, indicating that the snacks brought back were cooked.
Wang Yan solemnly opened the League of Legends interface, called up the lottery menu, and then went to get the specially prepared snacks.
As soon as the microwave was opened, a strong smell wafted out from the sealed carton, almost killing Wang Yan.
"Damn it! That's so good..."
The dignified Mr. Wang scolded me on the spot.
What is the most famous snack in Star City?
Stinky tofu.
In particular, the century-old Fire Palace is famous throughout the country.
The stinky tofu at Fire Palace is made from high-quality Liuyang fermented soya bean, cooked with winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, koji wine, etc. The fried stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma...
vomit!
Mr. Da Wang quickly drank the brine from 2003 to press it down...
Pooh!
This is a Latu from 2003!
Frowning, Mr. Wang poured the stinky tofu with chili oil, sesame oil, soy sauce and other seasonings. He took a deep breath...
vomit!
In fact, it's not that Wang Yan has never eaten stinky tofu, but the stinky tofu sold at the stall at the back door of Mining Province School is not that powerful. It only has a faint smell, but it is quite delicious when eaten.
The reason why I chose this famous food in Star City is based on two reasons.
First, Ou Huang has a 30-minute time limit, so Wang Yan has no time to enjoy the food.
Most of the delicacies are freshly prepared and eaten, and there are very high requirements for the store, chef, and freshness of the ingredients.
You can keep the original taste by heating it in the microwave at home. The only thing that is even better is street snacks, and they are one of the few types of snacks.
Second, stinky tofu is very unique.
Mr. Wang has been spending a lot of time recently, hanging out in various high-end restaurants, and is very corrupt.
Ordinary delicacies have become increasingly difficult to satisfy Wang Yan's requirements for delicious food.
On the contrary, the more special and less tried something is, the more likely it is to explode.
After thinking through everything, Wang Yan had no choice but to risk it all.
Confucius said: The smell comes from afar. The smell is stinky and the food is fragrant. Three bowls of it are not enough.
Wang Yan, Wang Yan, you are the toughest!
Grit your teeth, close your eyes, and take a sip...it smells so delicious!
The stinky tofu of Fire Palace really lives up to its reputation, the texture and taste are simply amazing!
But goose...
No rewards were revealed.
Wang Yan didn't have time to be disappointed. He quickly took a sip of red wine to neutralize the taste, and immediately picked up the mouse and clicked to draw a card.
[Congratulations on drawing a Shadow Stream Lord...]
roll!
I hate Zed!
[Congratulations on drawing a Zyra skin and nurse outfit...]
(⊙⊙)
Do you have any skins? !
Okay, next time four guarantees one, take Zyra to the center.
【congratulations……】
While drawing prizes, I stuffed stinky tofu into my mouth and took a sip of 150,000 bottles of red wine from time to time. It was so delicious!
Seeing that there was not much time left, Wang Yan was not in a hurry.
Nothing in the world is perfect.
Delicious and fun, that’s enough.
After relaxing, you can more and more appreciate the wonder of that mixed taste.
Really, the 2003 Latu is already sharp and complex, and the Fire Palace Stinky Tofu is even more spicy and spicy. The combination of the two is simply indescribable.
Next time he goes to the imperial capital, Wang Yan will recommend Pingzhi, Nawu, and Xiaogong Juqiankai.
Liu Li?
No, no, it’s fine if my family has 30,000 yuan to be responsible for beauty. I have a delicate body and can’t stand such a spicy mouth...
As soon as my mind wandered and my attention moved away, there was movement in the system.
[You get great complex enjoyment in special delicacies and activate a mysterious reward]
【No end to the smell】
【Disposable Card】
[There is more than one kind of special food in the world, which smells strange and smells great, and tastes amazing when eaten]
[Stinky tofu is just one of them]
[There are five famous delicacies that are still ranked above]
[Respectively: durian, Korean stingray, Icelandic dry shark, Spanish TEX MEX, canned herring]
[You can use this card on any target, and the opponent will get a debuff: No Ending Stink]
[The effect is: long-term loss of appetite, pleasure when smelling bad smells]
[This negative state can only be relieved by tasting the five most smelly foods]
[After being lifted, the target will regain its perception of the odor, but will retain the feeling of enjoyment]
[Note: This card may have a long-term and wonderful impact on the target's taste, please use it with caution]
Tsk tsk...
What a vicious card!
If stinky tofu and durian can actually be called delicious, then the other ones are simply biochemical bombs.
If this card is released, Tyson or The Rock will have to kneel down...
Wang Yan shuddered as he imagined being surrounded by those five kinds of food.
If the target is not a particularly bad person, it cannot be used easily.
Too cruel……
After putting away the cards that had not been used for the time being, Wang Yan rubbed his hands and finally decided to use his final move.
"Use the Euro-African Wheel (Intermediate)!"
The golden light flashed, and the pointer on the turntable spun crazily.
For the first time in the whole night, Wang Yan felt a little nervous.
In the carousel, there are three items that exceed the standard!
800w, 1200w, 2500w!
Any one of them would be a rare prize for Wang Yan.
However, Brother Fugui is a little confused about the effects of two of them.
What is it used for? !
After three comparisons, Wang Yan suddenly hoped to draw that 12 million item, which would at least be clear and practical.
The pointer slowly stopped, passing through white and green grids one after another, and finally passed by the edge of 1200w and stopped in the middle of two white grids——
Gold award!
Wang Yan's heart finally relaxed. Regardless of whether he was satisfied with the result or not, the dust had finally settled.
Although I don’t understand what the use of that thing is, the price of 2500w is there, which is twice as high as 1200w. Brother Wang thinks it can be used.
Well, it’s so floating!
A special double-choice card has been utilized to the extent it has been today, which is indeed something to be proud of.
Regardless of EQ or IQ, Wang Yan is becoming one of the top few.
A generation of great heroes is by no means the end.
I can't stand it anymore, there's only so much today. Go to sleep. . .
