Chapter 302 The banquet is over
But Bai Xiaobai calmly picked up half a glass of rice wine, took another sip, and after a slight pause for three seconds, he finally spoke the answer in his heart.

"This rice wine is six years old." However, Bai Xiaobai directly stated the year with a pretentious and cumbersome description.

All the guests waited with bated breath for Mr. Chen's answer.

Mr. Chen answered negatively, and it was related to whether the agarwood bracelet worth six figures would be given away, which really made people get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Everyone focused.

I saw Chen Chen clapping again, stretching out his thumb again, and excitedly praising, "Young man, it's so wonderful. You opened my eyes today, and you guessed right, it's six-year-old rice wine. But I'm curious how you figured it out once?"

Chen Chen had unspoken doubts at the moment.

As for the top sommeliers in Huaxia, if you ask them to taste foreign wines, they are very good at it, such as various high-end foreign wines, such as high-end wines, XO, whiskey, or local liquors, they can indeed directly obtain them with a small sip. Know the brand, year, and even the place of origin.

But when you ask him to taste a glass of rice wine, he probably doesn't know what year it is.

To say that the secrets of wine making before can be completed by dabbling in various knowledge, then what Chen has been studying for a few years is the real hard work.

Facing Elder Chen's doubts, Bai Xiaobai explained in detail: "Actually, I'm not a professional wine taster, but my father made rice wine every year during his lifetime, so I'm familiar with this kind of wine."

"Yellow wine is not the same as white wine. Good white wine can become more fragrant as it is stored, but rice wine is special. After this kind of wine is stored in the cellar, its aroma changes greatly in the early stage. For example, one-year-old new rice wine is more pungent and pungent. A special rough and spicy taste. After the mid-term, the wine will gradually become mellow and harmonious, delicate and mellow. In the later stage, the mellow body of the wine will become prominent and elegant. Short, 1-2 years old in the early stage, 2-4 years old in the middle stage, 4-6 years old in the later stage, if you go further, because the alcohol content of rice wine is not high, it is not suitable for long-term storage, and it is easy to be oxidized and sour."

"I finished drinking rice wine just now, which is more in line with the taste of the later period. In addition, the color of this rice wine is amber with a touch of green, so I can guess that it is 6 years old."

After Bai Xiaobai uttered a long section of hanging book bags, it also became very interesting.

In particular, Bai Xiaobai's voice is charming, deep and magnetic, natural and not artificial, plus the enunciation is clear, flat and tonal, listening to his speech is particularly enjoyable, and it feels like the ear can be pregnant.

Bai Xiaobai speaks clearly and logically, both professionally and popularly, and all the guests present admire him from the bottom of his heart.

Even the two guests who criticized before felt their faces turned red, as if they had been slapped.

Chen Chen raised his glass and said, "Young man, I really admire you. Come, let me toast you."

Chen Chen knew that no amount of likes could compare to this toast.

Chen Chen took the initiative to toast Bai Xiaobai wine, fulfilling his preface, and personally presented him with the agarwood bracelet in his hand. Those sophisticated guests changed their attitudes 180 degrees and toasted Bai Xiaobai one after another.

"Brother Xiaobai, come on, I'll toast you too, even if we know each other, my name is Li Daren, I'm in the clothing trade..."

"I'm in the medical business..."

Bai Xiaobai's alcohol capacity has always been good, and he won't get drunk after drinking a pint of beer. However, although the alcohol content of rice wine is not particularly high, it has a bit of stamina, so when facing the toasts of many guests, he just takes a sip to express himself.

If he really wanted to drink one cup at a time, no matter how good he was at drinking, he would have to collapse.

After the crabs are finished, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas will be served in turn.

Grilled sea cucumber in abalone sauce, grilled venison, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried asparagus...

In the evening, due to the lack of exercise, it is easy to indigestion when eating too much, so Bai Xiaobai eats every dish in moderation.

He didn't remember how many dishes were served, and Bai Xiaobai's head was already a little dizzy.

He only remembered that the last dish was stewed official bird's nest with rock sugar.

During the banquet, when many guests were drunk, they punched each other for fun.

The banquet continued until after nine o'clock.

Bai Xiaobai was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep after taking a nap. After Bai Yuanshan was full of wine and food, he didn't stay long, and said goodbye to Chen Chen.

Bai Xiaobai also said goodbye to Gao Chao.

Old Chen persuaded his uncle and nephew to stay overnight at the villa, but Bai Yuanshan declined on the pretext of having something to do.

Old Chen could only give up.

Bai Yuanshan took a taxi with the software, got in the car with Bai Xiaobai and left the Chen family villa.

The two uncles and nephews sat in the back seat of the car.

Bai Xiaobai closed his eyes and rested his mind.

At this time, Bai Yuanshan said, "Nephew, you really gave our old Bai parents face at the banquet tonight, and your uncle and I also have face."

Bai Xiaobai hummed casually, and continued to close his eyes to rest.

Bai Yuanshan continued, "Nephew, can you give the agarwood bracelet you got today to my uncle?"

This evening, he was able to stand out at Qiuju's crab feast and get the agarwood bracelet. In addition to the miscellaneous books that Bai Xiaobai usually reads, his uncle Bai Yuanshan also contributed a lot.

The missing chapter of "Plum Blossom Wine" in "Shi Zhen Lu" is recorded in an ancient book given by my uncle.

What's more, my uncle gave a lot of things during the New Year and holidays, and he bought the suit for more than 3000 yuan without hesitation.

This deep uncle and nephew relationship is by no means ordinary, and you can't find it even with a lantern.

Since my uncle likes this agarwood bracelet so much, a gentleman does not take what others like.

Bai Xiaobai didn't say anything, he took off the agarwood bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Bai Yuanshan, which can be regarded as offering flowers to Buddha.

"Uncle, if you like it, then I will give it to you."

Bai Yuanshan took the bracelet and said, "Nephew, I'm going back to Yundian tomorrow to make troubles. The next time I go home, it will be Chinese New Year. I'll get you a piece of top-quality old pit glass jade."

"Okay, same old, bigger one."

"That is required."

"Uncle, how much is Chen's agarwood bracelet really worth? Seeing that your eyes are going straight."

"This is a bracelet made of Nha Trang Qinan Agarwood from South Vietnam. It costs at least 20 yuan. Looking at the appearance and workmanship, the market price will definitely increase."

Bai Xiaobai "..."

Uncle, this old fox, indeed, a pair of 24K titanium alloys are rare treasures in the world!Why did Mao always feel that he was cheated by his uncle? ? ?

……

That night, the two uncles and nephews returned to the hotel where Bai Xiaobai was staying.

After Bai Xiaobai and Bai Yuanshan washed and scrubbed, they fell asleep together.

The two uncles and nephews shared the same bed, each covered with an air-conditioned quilt, and had nothing to say all night.

The next day, when Bai Xiaobai woke up, the uncle was already gone.

There is a bank card and a note he left on the bedside table.

There were ten words written on the note: 5 yuan in the card, and the password is your birthday.

Every time my uncle comes back, he will either give money or bring antiques and the like, anyway, he will never empty-handed, Bai Xiaobai has long been used to it.

After putting away the card, washing and brushing, Bai Xiaobai put on a T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of flip flops, and went downstairs to the hotel to have a free buffet breakfast.

Just halfway through breakfast, a cool electronic sound rang in his mind.
