Chapter 416: Spiced red wine
Auntie, Chinese, and that red dragon...
While Lu Ningshuang exclaimed, Li Yi had already seen the familiar figure standing in front of a huge fish tank with a smile on his face.
"Oh... Mom, can I say that gold medal, except for some super high-level sports meets, isn't everything else made of real gold?"
With a helpless moan, Li Yi finally remembered. One time when he called, he seemed to hear his mother say that she would form a team with Lin Yule to participate in the World Ornamental Fish Expo. Lin Yule was responsible for the public relations of the expert judges, while she was responsible for bragging... Wrong, she was responsible for summarizing experience and making a speech to look forward to the future and show her strength...
Just thinking about whether to tell Lu Ningshuang the news that this Chinese aunt was his mother, suddenly, Li Yi heard Lu Ningshuang's scream in a low voice.
"Wow, I didn't expect that raising fish would be so hard. Not only did the amount of feeding every day should be very accurate and timed, but I also had to get up and eat in the middle of the night, but I also had to create a surfing effect in the fish tank to exercise the muscles of the fish... Li Yi, fish... do you have muscles?"
In an instant, Li Yi decided not to tell her for the time being, because it seems that my mother is really bragging responsibly!
"Maybe, it seems, there should be?"
"Hmph, when I don't know, how can fish have muscles? Also, horses don't have night grass, how can fish need extra meals at night... I think, if this aunt was bragging, or the reporter was writing randomly!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be the reporter writing randomly, so that there will be a topic! Otherwise, how could a person who raised the fish king not even understand this common sense?"
Lu Ningshuang nodded, pointed to the long list of numbers on the page and said:
"This aunt is really amazing. Look, $620,000 per person... Oh my God, the five red dragons she has not been named the Fish King are priced at 620,000 yuan, but they were snatched away in less than an hour!"
Lu Ningshuang casually clicked on several related web pages and found that the information on it was almost the same. Moreover, almost without exception, they used large photos of the Fish King as a picture.
"This should be called "the best player in every industry, well, I have to work hard too. Otherwise, it would be too low to have the top three hectares of vineyards in the world but not be able to make the corresponding wine!"
She threw the apple pie into Li Yi's arms and stood up.
"I'm going to the vineyard, are you going?"
Li Yi glanced at the sun outside the window and frowned.
"Or why don't you go when the sun sets?"
"It's not yet noon, when will the sun set? The vines are blooming these two days, so you have to keep an eye on it... Otherwise, you're resting here and I'll go over?"
Li Yi shook his head, unless he was stupid, he would let Lu Ningshuang go to the vineyard alone at this time.
However, it was indeed a bit hard to go to the vineyard to bask in the sun at this time. He also noticed that Lu Ningshuang seemed a little tired, and he couldn't help but feel moved. He dragged his luggage that had moved to Lu Ningshuang's dormitory before going to Milan and turned out the bottle of added wine.
"Anyway, it's almost time to eat lunch before going over. In this way, let Hongchen drive later, you can teach me how to taste wine."
When Lu Ningshuang saw that he actually took out a bottle of opened red wine, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"When will your wine be opened? In the future, remember that if there is no suitable storage conditions, try to drink the red wine you open within two days, otherwise the ingredients inside will change."
Li Yi nodded, picked up the goblet on the table, poured some wine in,
"You try it first and see if the taste has changed."
Lu Ningshuang took the cup, first spiraled it, then sniffed it gently, and then took a small sip.
“Huh?”
Soon, her delicate eyebrows were tied up, and then she picked up the mineral water on the table and rinsed her mouth, took another sip.
"The wine seems to be a little wrong..."
She said as she put down her wine glass and picked up the bottle that was placed on the table.
"This kind of wine should be the kind we drank at Dean's last time, but the structure and maturity of this bottle seem to be different. The structure seems to be much more complicated, and the content of tannins seems to have changed a little, strange..."
Seeing that Lu Ningshuang had tasted the difference between adding wine, Li Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He only added a few drops of Polygonum multiflorum water to this bottle of wine! Could it be that it was really broken?
"Then... has this wine tasted better or worse? I'll try it."
Lu Ningshuang shook her head, ignored him, frowned and opened her wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of fresh wine that was exactly the same but had never been opened.
"I'll drive."
Li Yi rushed to open the wine, then changed a cup, and poured out a little.
Lu Ningshuang didn't bother to sober up, so she picked up the cup and took a sip. Then, her brows were tightly locked together.
"There is no change in this bottle of wine... Li Yi, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the vineyard today. I want to go to the laboratory immediately and test your bottle of wine. If we can find the reason for this change, I think we will make a fortune!"
"Making a fortune? What does it mean?"
"In fact, Lafite, the most famous in China, is not the top red wine, and the top red wine is not in Bordeaux, but in Burgundy. For ordinary consumers, the wines of the Eight Mingzhuang are probably the ultimate ones, but for real wine fans or wine lovers, Burgundy is their ultimate paradise."
"In the world of red wine, the top and famous garden-level Burgundy wines are always the ones that stand at the highest level of red wine prices. Among them, Romani Conte, known as the superstar among red wines, even the latest vintage wines, will sell for about 4,000 euros per bottle! There is also the Saint Victory Romani produced by Lehua Wine Garden, and a new bottle of wines will be sold for about 1,500 euros. And Lafite, the new wines launched in the latest vintage, will only cost at most 200 euros per bottle."
Lu Ningshuang picked up the glass of red wine with added ingredients and tasted it carefully.
"And your bottle of wine, both in terms of tannin content and complexity, is close to 10 years of Romani Conte, you said, if we had a way to make this wine, would we make a fortune?"
I just wiped... a few drops of Polygonum multiflorum water, and actually raised a bottle of very ordinary legal wine to a level that can rival the world's top red wine... Is it so exaggerated?!
"Well, that's it. I'll go find my teacher right away and ask him to help me taste wine. In addition, I probably won't have time to come back and have lunch with you. You can go out with Hongchen and find something to eat."
Lu Ningshuang bent down and printed casually on the corner of Li Yi's mouth. He took two bottles of red wine and hurried out. Li Yi was left alone sitting on the bed with laughter and tears. Damn, if he had known, he would have added Polygonum multiflorum water to the mineral water, but he insisted on adding it to the red wine... Now, it seems that he was causing trouble.
What if Lu Ningshuang tests the ingredients of Polygonum multiflorum from red wine? Confess directly? Then use Polygonum multiflorum water to make wine?
He shook his head. He had already calculated that he now has three hectares of vineyards, and each hectares of vineyards are planted. To make the best quality red wine, a bottle of 750 ml packaged requires almost two to three grapes produced by vines.
According to this calculation, the number of wine produced by his winery every year should be about 10,000 bottles. If you want to improve each bottle to this current quality, you will need to consume at least 50,000 drops of concentrated Polygonum multiflorum water.
And this is obviously impossible. With the size of Polygonum multiflorum, even if it is cut into pieces, it will probably only be enough to make the red wine from last season!
However, judging from Lu Ningshuang's current performance, she should be very obsessed with red wine. Will she ask him to use Polygonum multiflorum water to make wine as much as possible? Li Yi felt that he should have caused a big and small trouble by accident.
After thinking about it for a while, scratching his scalp, Li Yi found that he seemed to be a little out of line again.
Because, even if the ingredients of Polygonum multiflorum are tested, what can they do? Will they doubt him? Besides, even if he confesses that he has a magic Polygonum multiflorum, with Lu Ningshuang's temperament, he probably only lets him brew a few bottles of wine enough for her to drink by herself, how could he cause trouble for him? Is it possible that he is worried about here?
Shaking his head and being ashamed of his strange ideas for a while. Li Yi took the apple pie and began to carefully browse the news about this Ornamental Fish Expo.
This International Ornamental Fish Fair was held in Singapore and started on the day he had just arrived in Bordeaux.
The fair lasts for five days, and it will go through several stages such as exhibition, primary election, member voting, expert election, etc. before and finally produce a so-called gold medal fish king.
At the expo, there may be many fish with similar quality as the King of Fish, but only one of them wins in the end, so the fierce competition can be imagined.
Therefore, Li Yi felt that it was amazing that my mother's red dragon could actually win, and the organizer of the expo specially added a special prize that had never appeared before.
After browsing the official website of the expo for a while, Li Yi found that the interview published by the official was not as outrageous as the one Lu Ningshuang saw just now, but also that my mother's performance seemed to be particularly outstanding, so she couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
Sure enough, the dragon gives birth to dragon and phoenix gives birth to phoenix. He is so outstanding, which is definitely because he inherits his mother's excellent genes! Because my mother didn't have the chance to perform before, but this cannot cover up her excellence. Once she gives her a little sunshine, she will really dare to show you!
