“I didn’t think that the new generation would really surpass the old. The future of our winemaking industry is promising.”
Holding the wine glass tightly in his hand, President Yan stared at Yuan Zhou attentively, wanting to hear the name of the last liquor. His expression was full of expectation as usual.
A Top Chef’s winemaking skills had already swept away most people in the world of winemaking, and he was almost on par with many famous masters.
The most important thing was that this person was still very young. His future was limitless. Not to mention that he was taking this path full-time, it was also a part-time job. It was unimaginable what he would become in the future because it was impossible to estimate.
The only thing President Yan felt lucky about was that he had already made up his mind to invite Yuan Zhou at the very beginning of the exchange meeting before he had even tasted the wine brewed by Yuan Zhou. Moreover, he had even offered the best conditions that he could offer.
It was easy to get the title of the honorary Vice President, but the authority to read ancient books and recipes was very rare. He himself only had this authority. It could be imagined that President Yan had a high opinion of Yuan Zhou.
Now that Yuan Zhou had been firmly tied to the winemaking Association, President Yan believed that he would become better and better after he joined the Association.
“Indeed, chief Yuan’s wine is really beyond our expectations.” Secretary Xu’s face was full of admiration.
Secretary Xu’s state of mind could be said to be full of twists and turns in the past two days. Before he came here, he was full of arrogance and had the lofty attitude of mortals. After being defeated yesterday, he became much more humble and low-key. After being defeated today, the admiration he had for Yuan Zhou in his heart was simply like a surging River, unending.
If the system had this function, it would be like this now. ‘Ding, congratulations to the host for once again obtaining a hardcore ashes fan.’ And this voice would probably be endless in the venue. After all, Secretary Xu wasn’t the only one who had such a change in mentality.
Hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things.
Many people were like this when they first saw Yuan Zhou,”I heard that not only is chief Yuan’s culinary skills quite good, but his winemaking techniques are also quite good.” After the exchange meeting, they were like this: “chief Yuan’s wine is really so amazing. It’s simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”
She Lin wasn’t very eye-catching in the crowd. However, as the most promising new generation of winemakers in the world of winemaking apart from Yuan Zhou, he still had some face. At least, he could attend such an event.
He knew about Yuan Zhou’s capability. Therefore, he didn’t have any other thoughts except for a strong sense of expectation, especially for fear of being compared with by others. Therefore, he had been hiding in the crowd.
If you were to compare him with an Ordinary Genius, even if he couldn’t win, he would at least have a direction to work hard in. Comparing him with Yuan Zhou was not something that an ordinary human like him could have. Was he worthy?
While the audience was in a turmoil and full of thoughts, Yuan Zhou’s thoughts were much simpler on the stage. Seeing that everyone had almost tasted it, he began to introduce the last one of the 10 wines, which was also the last one of the exchange meeting.
“Today’s fifth liquor is the nine-holed autumn liquor. As its name implies, it’s derived from the nine-holed spring liquor in ancient times. I got some inspiration last autumn and brewed it using the ancient nine-holed method. You can all taste it together and check its color. It’s either a fresh variety or you can enjoy it together. “
As soon as he said that, they couldn’t help twitching the corners of their mouths as they knew what kind of person Yuan Zhou was. Yuan Zhou would say that every time he introduced a wine. The key was that they had never even heard of this wine, let alone brew it.
Now, not only did Yuan Zhou cook it, but the taste was also quite good. This was a slap to his face. Even if he didn’t know how to compare because he didn’t even duplicate the key, he still felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had taken the title of a senior, didn’t he?
It was the same for the nine orifices Autumn Wine. The nine orifices Spring Wine was the earliest record of the ancient well tribute wine as a tribute in Haozhou. It was mentioned in Cao Cao’s “law of upper nine orifices wine”. It also described the brewing method in detail and gave suggestions for improvement.
The book “Qimin Yaoshu” also had a more detailed description of the nine orifices Spring Wine. However, from the spring Wine to the present ancient well tribute wine, not only had it experienced the transformation of the times and the carving of time, but even the brewing method had also changed.
One was the brewing method and the other was the distillation method. Although in a broad sense, the nine orifices Spring Wine was the predecessor of the ancient well tribute wine, there were actually many differences.
On this basis, Yuan Zhou had even improved it into the autumn Wine. It wasn’t a simple change of one word.
In particular, Mr. Huang was the one with the most right to speak among the people present. It was because he had brewed the nine orifices Spring Wine in his early years out of interest. However, due to the cumbersome process, many things were similar but not the same. Although the wine he brewed was drinkable, he always felt that it tasted wrong. However, he just couldn’t find the reason. It was a bit of nonsense.
As soon as Yuan Zhou finished his words, old Huang became especially excited.
When the autumn Wine came out, Mr. Vulture stared at the pot without blinking. Perhaps to match the characteristics of autumn, although the overall color was black, there were pieces of fiery red maple leaves on it, which brought a sense of liveliness to the black pot. It didn’t look dull at all. Instead, he felt a little joy, as if he had just seen a harvest.
As soon as the flagon was put down, old Huang grabbed one at lightning speed. This was definitely the first time he had performed so well. He opened the flagon immediately and couldn’t wait to try the autumn Wine brewed by Yuan Zhou.
“Pa”
As the cork was opened, a rich and mellow fragrance immediately rushed out. If one carefully distinguished it, there was the fragrance of rice, the sweetness of fruit, and naturally a little sourness. The smell of fermented rice and fruit acid combined with the fragrance made it not so strong, but instead, it had a hint of freshness.
Although there were many flavors, they weren’t complicated or heavy. They were like a double-petal peony. They looked complicated, but they were layered and distinct.
“Oh, this taste is completely different from the one I brewed. It’s an improved one. The spring Wine has always been made with rice, but now I’ve innovative added autumn fruits. I wonder how it will taste?”
Mr. Vulture sniffed and carefully savored the aroma before pouring the wine into the glass. In order to match the characteristics of the wine pot, the glass was shaped like a Maple Leaf. The wine was poured out bit by bit, and the dark red color dyed the glass, making it look like a red maple leaf.
After taking a sip, Mr. Huang felt the hustle and bustle of the world fade away. There was no one around, and the autumn wind blew. The heavy ears of rice played a symphony of life. The sound of nature was low-key and contained meaning, allowing one to relax and immerse themselves in it. It was just like Eve’s first time stepping into the Garden of Eden. It was novel and relaxing, and there was an indescribable joy. Every cell in her body was telling her what they were thinking.
