Chapter 344 [The Marquis's Private Goods]

If a qualified British butler said that since the guest ordered this famous wine, the family would definitely choose to give it to the guest to taste as soon as possible. But Butler Rafiel looked embarrassed, like a shy girl, and was timid and motionless.

This made Bell feel very strange, and he asked in confusion. "Why, Butler Rafiel, didn't you say that the Marquis family had brought it back, and a ship was not stored in the wine cellar? Since I ordered the wine, why didn't I go to get it?"

Butler Rafiel had never encountered such an embarrassing thing in his decades-long career as a butler. The British butler lost all his face. But the guest asked, and he couldn't help but say it, so he said in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Mr. Singh, it's not that I don't want to go to the wine cellar with you to get the wine, but I don't know the Chinese characters, and I don't know which jar is marked as Gujing Gongjiu."

The British are really rigid and can't be flexible. The names of Chinese liquors are very distinctive. Gujing Gongjiu is obviously four characters. If you don't know Chinese characters, can't you count? Isn't the four-character one Gujing Gongjiu?

But Belsinger was not angry. He knew that his chance had come. He wanted to observe closely how many secrets were hidden in the string of liquor that the first generation marquis brought back in the first half of the year. Was it worth his effort? So he waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I thought it was something else? I know Chinese characters. After all, I have drunk Chinese liquor. Do you know how to write the name of the wine? Then I will go to the underground wine cellar with you and I will choose it myself, right?"

This completely solved the dilemma of Butler Raphael. He was very happy to personally take a flashlight and accompany Belsinger to the underground wine cellar. After opening the underground wine cellar, the heavy wooden door was turned on, and the lighting system built in the underground wine cellar decades ago immediately lit up.

The light in the wine cellar was very dim. After all, no matter what kind of wine it was, it was very sensitive to light. If the light was too strong, the fine wine would deteriorate. The temperature in the underground wine cellar is not high, making people feel very cool or even a little cold. When the eyes adapt to the light, all that comes into view are rows of wine racks, and the wine racks are filled with bottled wine.

These wines are placed in a very special way, with the big end facing up, and the corks soaked in the red wine, which can prevent the dry air from the corks from entering the wine bottle and reacting chemically with the red wine. Why does the wine go bad? So when storing red wine, you must choose to put it with the big end facing up and the cork facing down, which is the safest way to put it.

Each wine rack is stacked with famous wines produced by major wineries, and there is another one on each rack. The list is hung on the wooden rack so that people who choose table wine can see it at a glance. There is a winery on each rack, producing wines of various ages. For example, the wine produced by Lafite Winery is on a wine rack. Each row of red wine on the wine rack is densely packed with bottles produced in the same year, and they are covered with various dust and spider webs. They look dirty, but the value of each bottle of red wine is definitely not less than 500 pounds.

Butler Rafael led the way with a flashlight, and Belsinger followed behind, turning around in front of various tall wine racks. After walking more than 20 meters in, what came into view was the middle stage of the wine cellar. Belsinger had never been here before. What was stacked was not wine racks, but boxes of unopened wine or brandy champagne.

After walking 30 meters after passing these boxes of wine, we came to the deepest part of the wine cellar. What came into view were all large and small wine jars. The largest wine jar is called the wine sea. It is the largest type of wine jar, with a capacity of more than 500 kilograms. If you want to move this big wine sea, you can't do it without seven or eight strong men.

Because the wine sea is too large, it is placed on the bottom layer, and the wine jars on it are all 100 jin each. The third layer is 50 jin, the fourth layer is 20 jin, and the top layer is small jars of 5 jin. Each wine jar is attached with a square red paper standing upright, which is marked with the name of these liquors and the production year.

Belsinger has a dog's nose. He smelled carefully and found that there was no smell of liquor around, which proved that these wine jars were very well sealed. There was no damage or smell for hundreds of years, which proved that the wine in the wine jars had not deteriorated. Wow, what caught my eye were all large and small wine jars. The wine cellar was 30 meters wide and long, 50 meters high and five meters high. The bottom layer was filled with them, without any empty space.

Belsinger took a flashlight and carefully identified the many types of Chinese wines shipped from Guangzhou hundreds of years ago. Including white wine, yellow wine and even famous medicinal wine, there are more than four kinds of white wine, including Fenjiu from Shanxi, Xifengjiu from Shaanxi, Gujinggongjiu, and the last one is unexpectedly Zhuyeqing.

There are only two most famous yellow wines, one is Nv'erhong and the other is Shi Guogong. The types of medicinal wine are very rich, including Jimo Laojiu, Hongmao Medicinal Wine, Lamb Wine, etc. This is an exposition of Chinese white wine, and all the famous wines can be found here.

Even if I can drink two catties of white wine, I will fall unconscious on the bed, and the women in the family can't drink white wine. It's even more impossible for the servants to come to the table to eat with me, so Belsinger climbed up the hill formed by the wine jars and got a five-jin jar of Gujinggongjiu. On the way back, he took two bottles of sweet wine produced in Canada 60 years ago for the women in the family.

I had planned to walk out of the wine cellar after getting the wine, but when I came to the door, I accidentally glanced at the stone on one side. A dark piece of stone was dug into the wall. I couldn't see what was inside. I used a flashlight to see that it was an independent small wine cellar sealed by iron fences.

There were not standard wine bottles placed inside, but some wooden stakes hollowed out from whole logs. This made Belsinger very curious. What was in these wooden stakes? Could it be wine? How could wine be stored in wooden stakes? Wouldn't it move? Wouldn't it evaporate?

As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. Belsinger was also very curious. He quickly grabbed the old butler who was about to walk out of the wine cellar. Pointing to the independent small wine cellar sealed by iron fences in front, he asked. "Butler Lafite, there is a small wine cellar inside the wine cellar. It is enclosed by iron fences and is filled with wooden stakes. What is inside?"

At this time, everyone can see that Butler Rafite is full of pride. The old man smiled confidently at Belsinger. "Mr. Singer has sharp eyes. That wine cellar is an independent small wine cellar. The wooden stakes enclosed by iron fences are actually pine stakes with a history of 500 years."

Isn't this nonsense? Can't I see that they are pine stakes? I asked what is inside. Seeing Belsinger's impatience, the old butler smiled and said. "These wooden stakes are enclosed in a peerless wine produced by the Norwegian BJ circle, called ice crystal nectar wine. Due to the destruction of the environment in recent years, the temperature in the Arctic has risen sharply, so ice crystal nectar has become a rare product and no longer produced."
