Yunding Ranch

Chapter 347 Forced Tasting
Raymond put the pendant in the palm of his hand and looked it over carefully. The small pendant, like a red clay seal, is elegant and graceful, full of charm, with a strong Chinese flavor.This is completely different from the Western design style, and it can even be said to be a thousand miles away. Just a shape is enough to make people's eyes shine.

For Westerners, Chinese culture means mystery, as if it is a strange symbol that cannot be solved.

Not only that, but there are dragons and phoenixes on this seal, which looks even more difficult to understand than the official logo of the 2008 BJ/Olympic Games, but it has an inexplicable charm, "What does this mean?" Raymond De couldn't hold back his curiosity, and raised his voice to ask.

"Yun Dian." Lu Li's explanation made everyone look enlightened.

But Lu Li knew that they only understood the term, and didn't really understand the real meaning behind it, so he continued to explain with a smile, "Hiding outside the sky, on the top of the colorful clouds, in the mist, mysterious Unpredictable, the rosy light is overwhelming, dense and blurred, a mysterious country that yearns for..."

The slow words, like poetry, narrated eloquently, which made everyone look surprised, even Cole was no exception. This was the first time they heard Lu Li's interpretation like this, it was really a big surprise. Eye-opening.

In the end, Mark was the first to come back to his senses, "Is this the source of the ranch's name? Yunding Ranch."

Lu Li lowered his chin and didn't speak, but his smiling expression was enough to explain everything. Everyone sighed, and Richard nodded repeatedly, "I finally have the real feeling now, you are a Chinese .”

A name can tell the cultural and historical background, but for most of the ranches in Texas, there is a lack of precipitation.China, that is an ancient country with 5000 years of culture.

"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Li laughed heartily.

After Lu Li's explanation, looking at the word "cloud top" now has a different meaning, especially Tony and Cole, both of them showed amazing expressions, and Cole also picked up a bottle of wine , caressing fondly.

It's not just a bottle of wine, it's a culture.Now, it belongs to the culture of Yunding Ranch.This is really commendable for the United States, which is always criticized as "no culture".

In the past, it was just rumors, knowing that China is one of the four ancient civilizations, but these small details in the life process gave them a real sense.Just like Richard said.You must know that the United Kingdom, which has always called itself the "British Empire", has its own pride and self-esteem for cultural inheritance, but they are still insignificant in the face of China's long-standing culture.

Raymond nodded meaningfully, then let go of the charm, nodded and exclaimed, "This is an interesting idea." But only "interesting".

Afterwards, Raymond turned his head and continued to study those vegetables and cheese, and Robinson was no exception.That simple action revealed the true thoughts deep in their hearts.

For them, all of this is just a gimmick, a gimmick from Chinese culture.However, wine has never been an object that can win by relying on gimmicks.

Although, with the changes of the times, wine is also making constant changes in order to adapt to the market, but those can only be regarded as fast food products, and truly excellent wine is the crystallization of history, heritage, culture, and even art, and it is still not possible. easily replaced.

Yunding Ranch is a New World wine, and this is Texas, and it is the first year that the ranch has made wine.All factors are pointing to the same result: the wines here are of no noteworthy value.

The appeal of the rest of the booth was much higher than the wine.

Richard also noticed Raymond's movements. He turned his head to look at Lu Li, expressed his apology with his eyes, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. That vivid expression was enough to explain many problems.It can be seen that Richard and Raymond should not be familiar with each other, at least not friends.

Lu Li waved his hand nonchalantly. It wasn't just Raymond. In fact, Richard didn't have too much expectation for the wine from Yunding Ranch. It's just that they are friends, so Richard still maintained basic courtesy. .Raymond's performance is much more direct.But in fact, this is not bad, at least, Raymond didn't say anything bad directly.

In the future, Yunding Winery will face incomparably long challenges and difficulties when it enters the market, and those strangers may not be merciful.Raymond's reaction was just drizzle.Lu Li had a clear understanding of this.

Richard looked down at the wine again, and politely said, "Can I have a glass?"

"Even if you don't ask, I will invite you to have a drink before leaving." Lu Li said in turn, taking the wine from Richard, and then said with a smile, "This is an exhibition, and our purpose is to let more customers to taste our products. I finally tricked you here, how could I let you go so easily?"

Lu Li didn't want to be a scribe, saying that they weren't interested, so don't force them, and politely let them leave.If things go on like this, the wine from the ranch will never be able to hit the market.

Lu Li clearly knew that it was difficult for Yunding Winery to open up the situation. He seized every opportunity to let more people taste their wines, and then waited for the evaluation, hoping to win more good reputation, and then Spread slowly.

Evaluation is an extremely important first step.For better or worse, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.

"To be precise, I will force you all to taste it." Lu Li teased without concealment, and the tone of the joke really made people laugh.

Richard looked at Lu Li who was not polite, and was taken aback for a moment, then he chuckled and nodded, "Of course, why not. Today is a long day, and I need a little alcohol. Only in this way can I have enough alcohol." motivation to keep going.”

"Hey, guys, it's still a while before the show officially opens." Randy's characteristically lively voice came over, and then Tony yelled, "Jessica, Fourteen said, these Hanging ornaments are put in boxes, don't hang them up."

Jessica put the cheese in her hand on the table, glanced at Lu Li, then at Tony, and nodded, "Oh, I see." This understatement made Tony feel like he was punched in the face. There is no one in the cotton, and I don't know how to continue to respond, which is really depressing.

Randy put the wine in his hand aside, and then he heard Lu Li say, "Where's the corkscrew?"

This made Randy a little dazed.As he said just now, it is not the time to entertain guests, because the booth has not been decorated yet, and the products have not been placed yet, so it is really not appropriate for guests to come to the door now.

But Randy still pointed to Jessica reflexively, indicating the location of the corkscrew.Lu Li stepped forward, patted Randy's arm, and said in a low voice, "This is Richard, Richard from Coolmore Racecourse." After speaking, Lu Li turned to Jessica and began to look for her. Decanters, and wine glasses for tasting.

Randy froze for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out, "Brandon's good friend, that Richard?"

Richard laughed, stepped forward and introduced himself, "Hi, I'm 'that Richard'." He also made a quotation mark gesture with both hands, and Randy's expression suddenly became awkward , "Hey" laughed dryly.

Later, Richard stretched out his right hand and introduced himself to Randy, "I hope Brandon didn't speak ill of me." A simple sentence shortened the distance between him and Randy. I immediately started talking and laughing.

"Richard, this is the first batch of wine from Yunding Winery. Welcome to taste." Lu Li served himself, quickly uncorked the wine, gently raised the bottle in his hand, and said with a smile.

Then, Lu Li poured a shallow layer of wine into the wine glass. Since this was just a wine test, it didn't need much, just like what he learned at the Romanee-Conti winery.

Richard's teasing voice sounded from the side, "So stingy? I don't know when wine started to be so precious. A little more, a little more, I don't ask for the whole glass to be filled, give me at least two-thirds .”

Lu Li picked up the wine bottle, and wanted to tell Richard that this was a new wine with heavy tannins, and tasting it was not a joyous experience.But after thinking about it, Lu Li closed his mouth, spread his hands to express his apology, and then filled the glass for Richard.

"Fourteen, give me some." Tony picked up a glass and put it next to him, with a eager smile on his face, which made Lu Li smile, purposely put on a straight face, and said seriously, "Today Still have a busy day at work, start drinking now?"

"Taste, just taste." Tony clarified again and again.

Lu Li looked disbelieving, "Taste, or like?"

"Who do you think I am?" Tony said solemnly, puffing out his chest on purpose because of his guilty conscience, "Nearly ten days have passed since the last tasting, and the fermentation results of the alcohol are different again , of course I need to monitor their situation at any time, what do you think?"

Lu Li watched Tony open his eyes and talk nonsense, and didn't expose him, but warned him kindly, "One cup, only one cup." Then he saw Tony's entire expression bloom.

"Excuse me, do I have the honor to have a drink?" A voice sounded from the side, and Lu Li couldn't help but pause for a moment. He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was actually Mark, which was really a surprise.

Look at Raymond and Robinson who still don't care about the situation here, as if they are not aware of the situation next to them.

Originally, Lu Li planned to let Richard taste it first, and then invited the other three people to taste it as a courtesy.Unexpectedly, Mark actually took the initiative to take this step, interesting, this is really too interesting.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?"
