Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Yang Li looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of the top make-up artist and stylist in the entertainment industry, this technique is so superb that he can't even recognize himself.

What appeared in the mirror at this moment was undoubtedly an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

Yang Li's face was covered with a lot of fake leather like rubber, which made his face look a lot bigger.Secondly, something was pasted on his eyes to make the double eyelids into single eyelids, his nose was moved a little, and he also wore a wig. After various minor changes, the whole person feels completely different.

"Come on, say hello to everyone in front of the camera." Zhou Cheng raised the camera and smiled.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yang Li who is going to participate in the primary election secretly." Yang Li smiled at the camera, and by the way, he also lifted up the spring he had prepared and shook it in front of the camera, "This is my greatest achievement." , it's called Fengchun, it's a mixed fruit wine, I made it myself."

"Why did you go secretly?" Zhou Cheng asked from the side, "You can go there in a fair manner, right?"

"Because I'm afraid that the judges and teachers will worry about my face and point out my shortcomings directly." Yang Li replied to the camera, "It's not that I am narcissistic. Experts and professors in the brewing industry seem to like me very much. If I Going normally, they will definitely criticize and criticize inappropriately, I want to face the shortcomings of my wine directly, so that I can improve in the future.”

"Well, are you ready to go?"

"Ready."

After filming this section, Yang Li took his own wine and got into the car. The ride in the middle of the car definitely needs to be filmed, and then it will be fine to cut it out properly.

Because the time is getting closer, and the publicity of this event has been increasing, the later the stage, the more people will come to participate in the competition.It's just that there are more people who collect wine than winemakers.

But this is also normal.Collecting wine is easier than making it, and a little more well-informed.

somewhere.

"Dad, look at these videos, all of them are those who went to the exchange meeting." A young man turned on the computer and clicked on the video to show his father, "All the people here are as fond of brewing as you are , I think Dad, you can try it too."

"That's a skill that people specialize in opening a shop, but I can't do it." The old man waved his hand, "I didn't learn the art from a teacher back then, I figured it out by myself. Do you remember the old man next door who hugged you when I was young?" , I just learned two hands from him, and it’s fine for our own family to drink, isn’t it a shame to participate in such a competition?”

"It's not ashamed." The young man shook his head and said, "Dad, the wine you make is really delicious, better than the ones sold outside. Anyway, it's not a disadvantage if you try it, as long as you don't sell fake wine, you can eat it." Not to mention the reimbursement of all the living and transportation expenses, and free advertising. I think you are idle here every day, why don't you try it."

For the son, being able to find such an interesting event for his father to participate in is undoubtedly much better than watching his father attend some elderly care lectures. At least this is not a scam!

For this reason, he persuaded his father for several days.

"I'll take a look." Fortunately, the son's persuasion was not ineffective, so the father clicked on the video and started watching.

It seems that there is no drama at all.

Similar things are happening in many places.

"Grandpa, why don't you go? Everyone is talking about this now, and the teacher also said that this is the revival of traditional culture. If you go, Grandpa, I will have materials for my next composition."

"Dad, Mom, I also think this is an opportunity. You can also advertise our restaurant, and they will reimburse the board and lodging expenses!"

"Teacher, time waits for no one, there are only a few days left."

"Mr., we are developing tourism in our city. Your wine is very famous here. If you are willing to go, our company is also willing to provide sponsorship..."

Yang Li came two days before the deadline for the preliminary round.

He originally thought that there should not be many talents at this time, but after he came, he found that there seemed to be an unexpectedly large number of people. Even the judges and teachers came over a dozen in one go, adding three rooms for selection!

Hey, why are there so many people?

It is not too conspicuous for the assistant to take pictures of Yang Li with his mobile phone, because there are many people with mobile phones or selfie sticks, and many families come to participate in the preliminary competition.

Oh, it's hotter than expected!

"Are you also playing X sound?" A girl in line behind Yang Li asked with a smile, "What's your room number? Let's add a friend."

"I didn't play. I asked a friend to help me take this video and show it to my lover." Yang Li casually made up an excuse, "What about you?"

"My room number is XXXX, and I came here in place of my uncle." Because of the live broadcast, the makeup on the girl's face is a bit heavy, but it looks very normal in the beauty filter, "My uncle is a tsundere, afraid that he will make a fool of himself." It would be embarrassing if your wine failed the preliminary round, so I was asked to come. It just so happens that this event has been very popular recently, and after I said that I would come here to live broadcast, the popularity increased a lot.”

Now the anchors are not having a good time.

What the audience sees are top-notch anchors who are already famous, but in fact, more anchors are unknown or even unable to earn food money for a day.In order to attract popularity, it is definitely not enough to just sing and dance, but to change tricks.

"This is a sorghum bar that your uncle brewed?" Yang Li looked at the wine jar in the girl's hand, "The fragrance is very strong, and I will definitely pass the preliminary round."

"You can smell it too?" The girl was stunned, "I think it's all wine, so I can't tell the difference."

"I'm not too sure about the perfumes girls use, but you can tell the difference, it's just that our interests are different." Yang Li replied.

"Haha, that's right." The girl said with a smile, "You are amazing, come on, do you want to say hello to my water friend?"

Yang Li approached with a smile, and found that the number of people in this girl's room was pitifully small, there were probably only twenty or thirty living people, and the barrage was very slow, with only one occasionally drifting past.

Is this after the increase in popularity?

"It's okay, in two days, the popularity of your room will definitely increase a lot." Yang Li smiled at the girl, "At least two zeros can be added at the end."

"Haha, I don't have the money to buy a recommendation seat. I just had fun." The girl thought that Yang Li was just comforting her, but she accepted Yang Li's kindness with a smile, "I can sing and dance, and I look average, so Not so many people look at me, it is so easy to increase my popularity."

No, when I post this welfare video, someone will follow Weibo to the live broadcast room to watch you.

In this regard, Yang Li will not underestimate the fighting power of his fans.

Girls are good at chatting, and people who are not outgoing are basically not good at the job of anchor.

While waiting in line, it would be so much better to have such a person by the side to chat with.

"My favorite star is Lin Yueqiu." The girl said after Yang Li asked this question, "Actually, I also like Pei Rong, and Rong Zaiqing also has a few very good songs, which are must-orders on KTV." !"

Yang Li didn't even hear his name, and seemed a little depressed: "What about Yang Li?"

"Well, didn't Yang Li act in "Seven People Tell Ghosts" before?" The girl cried, "I hate horror and bloody movies the most, and I faint when I see blood, so I don't know him well."

"He still acted in other TV series."

"Pfft, don't mention that "Civil Servant". I actually have my own job, but I am relatively free. I occasionally work as an anchor at home to earn some pocket money. My mother yells every day for me to take the civil service exam. The one filmed by Yang Li "Civil Servant" is the enemy of my generation. Do you think Yang Li failed the public exam and deliberately made such a TV series to torment us young people who don't want to take the civil service exam?" The girl was furious, "Hmph, if I Become a top anchor and see Yang Li, I must give him a lot of real civil servant questions."

—Actually, you have already seen it.

When the assistant heard what the two said, he secretly laughed and took pictures of Yang Li's expressions.

When the time comes to edit, this section must be released without any cut hahaha.

"Are you a bit poisonous?" Yang Li broke into a cold sweat, "He also has a difficult life, and needs to make money by making TV dramas."

"It's okay, anyway, I can't become a top anchor, that's just bragging. If I really see it, I'm afraid I'll think I'm dreaming. How can I remember to send him the real question?"

Yang Li chatted with the girl for a few more words, and soon came to him.

"Okay, I'm going in." Yang Li waved at the assistant's camera, "Wish me good luck."

The assistant handed the phone to Yang Li, and he couldn't follow him in.

"Hi teachers, I'm number 473." Yang Li took out his number plate and put his wine on the table.

Very good, he doesn't know any of these judges.

However, his number plate has already reached more than 400, which means that so many people have already come to participate in the competition, plus the people waiting outside, and the contestants tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there may be 1000 people!

The number of people who passed the primary election in the early stage was almost two to one to the number of people who did not pass. Those who really came to participate in the competition still had a bit of real talent. In the later stage of the qualifiers, a group of people would definitely be eliminated. In the end, only one person could be left Five or 60 people is already considered very good.

But even if there are only a few dozen people, they are already a group of forces that cannot be ignored for this industry!

Thinking of this, Yang Li felt that everything he had done before was meaningful.

There are still so many great people in this country.At the beginning, he was able to appear in "Special China", because he was really honored as an entertainer in the entertainment industry.

"Teachers, can I put my phone here?" Yang Li chose a more convenient location for shooting.

"Okay." The judges are already used to it, this is also a kind of event promotion.

"According to the information you filled in, this is a mixed fruit wine. There are 45 types of fruit, the degree is 4.5, and the fermentation time is 45 days. Do you have any thoughts on the number 45?" One of the judges filled in before holding Yang Li. The data sheet asked.

"This is a gift from me to my important person. He is both my teacher and my friend. He holds a very high status in my heart. His birthday is April [-]th, so I specially brewed it for him. , called Fengchun." Yang Li said bluntly.

And of course, the most important lover.

But he didn't need to say this sentence, and Zheng Wushu, who saw the video, would know it.

"Well, self-created wine is usually brewed for friends, relatives and loved ones. Brewing wine for important people in life is indeed a winemaker's romance." Another female judge liked this method very much, looking at Yang Li's The eyes are much gentler, "However, when there are many kinds of fruits, it is difficult to achieve a balance. The taste of each brew may also be different. Sometimes it may become delicious, and sometimes it may taste mediocre. The stability is much worse."

"Yes, so I try my best to keep a constant average value in the post-production process, and try to make the taste of each jar infinitely close. The size and variety of fruits are also strictly controlled, but the sweetness of the fruits varies with the rain every year. So it's impossible to be exactly the same." Yang Li nodded in response.

Several judges came out with new disposable paper cups.

This is also to prevent the taste of other wines from getting on the glass, so that they can fully taste the taste of each wine.The reason why the selection time is long is also because they need to wait until the aftertaste of the wine in their mouths disappears before tasting the next one.

The color of Fengchun is light green, and only when it is poured into a cup can it show such a faint green color. The fragrance is not so strong, but the aftertaste is very long.

"The aroma of the wine is clear and the color is clear. As far as these two points are concerned, the Fengchun wine you brewed is a good wine." The judges first observed the color and smell. In these two points, Fengchun can undoubtedly win a very high ranking. score.

"That's right, with these two points, it's almost in the top ten of the self-brewed wines we've seen in the past few days, but I don't know how it tastes."

"I'll drink first."

"I'll try it too."

The judges are willing to do this job largely because they can drink countless kinds of good wine that they can't usually drink.

Each self-created wine reflects many characteristics of the winemaker, such as personality, craftsmanship, philosophy and so on.For the judges, doing this kind of work is not hard at all, but it makes them ecstatic.

Originally thought that there were not so many people in this industry who were still persisting, but the past few days as a judge overturned their thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that drinking is easy to hurt the body, they really want to be the judges all the time.It's a pity that the judges work in shifts, and they have to rest for a few days after a day of drinking. Whether they can meet good wine depends entirely on luck.

It seems that there is a group of judges next door who drank fine wines over 20 years old three times in a row and blew them for a full week, which made people jealous.

This kind of vintage wine is usually not available with banknotes, but now someone offered to bring it over for them to drink, it was really cool.

It would be great if this exchange meeting could be held every year, and they could come to be judges every year.

All the judges couldn't help but think so, and they were very glad that they accepted the invitation.Now those who didn't accept the invitation see the videos and comments they posted and regret it.

But what's the use of that?

There is only one opportunity to drink all the good wines in the whole country.

Next year, the year after, the year after, as long as this exchange meeting continues, as long as they still need judges, they will come to be judges every year, even if they don't give money, they are willing to come!

Closer to home.

The altar Fengchun brought by Yang Li was almost the best wine they had seen that day.The first two items alone can pass the preliminary round. If the taste of the wine is not bad, they might be able to enter the finals directly.

They have worked so hard, it's time for a final seed!

Ashamed to say, although there are many people who come to participate in the competition and the wines sent have different tastes, there are very few self-made wines that really catch people's eyes and leave a deep impression on them.Most of the wine is brewed by imitating the wine recipes left by the predecessors. Although this kind of craftsmanship is also admirable, for the judges, they definitely hope to see more vigorous and fresh wine.

But if a good wine can be created casually, there will not be just a few wine industry groups in their country.

I hope that this altar will bring them a different feeling in spring.

With this mentality, they slowly savored Fengchun.

As soon as the wine entered their throats, the judges found themselves underestimating each other.

This wine is so good.

So good that you can directly go abroad to participate in the awards!

really weird.

Obviously, the days of fermentation are not too long, and it is not the type that accumulates aroma through time, let alone the famous traditional famous wine, and the alcohol content is also very low. I thought it would not have much taste, but after drinking it, it gives people the feeling very different.

Fruit wine is not as strong as white wine. It tends to be more palatable and more acceptable to women and children. The selling point is "sweetness".

But Fengchun has two characteristics of "sweet and sour", with unexpectedly many layers.

It is slightly sour in the mouth, but it will gradually become sweet, and there will be a touch of coolness after drinking.When you take a second sip, the taste will merge with the aftertaste in your mouth, and it will be replaced with a new texture.

This taste is like a top cocktail made by a bartender with various alcohols, and every sip is unique.

In a blink of an eye, the glass of wine was all drunk.

The judges were silent for a while, not busy commenting, but still immersed in the aftertaste of Fengchun.

Good wine can have a long aftertaste and make people never forget it.

"It's great." The female judges gave a good review, "I thought I would drink a certain fruit taste in it, but I didn't. Every fruit seems to have a fragrance, but it seems that there is nothing in it. No. When I drank it, I seemed to smell a little grass, but when I drank it, I wondered if mint was added in it? The taste is very smooth, but it stands to reason that the aroma of such a low-alcohol wine should not be heavy. , I don’t know what’s going on here?”

"It's fruit acid." Yang Li smiled and said a few words, "The first wine was originally made from fruits combined and slowly fermented. Compared with wheat and sorghum, fruits are inherently unique in wine making. I tried hundreds of fruit combinations for Fengchun before finally deciding on this one."

In order to achieve a balance of these fruits, Yang Li tried to avoid picking those fruits with very strong aroma, and did not choose to pick them when they were the sweetest, but used them to make wine before they were ripe, using their "greenness" to neutralize the sweetness of the fruit. And it's sweet inside.

Afterwards, in order to make the wine rich and layered, Zhuyeqing and Xinghuachun were added to neutralize it.Soak the fruit in these two wines to absorb the aroma of the two wines, and finally release this aroma during brewing, thus forming different tastes.

Originally, Yang Li also tried adding Zhuyeqing and Xinghuachun directly, but in this way, their own taste would easily overwhelm the taste of fruit wine.

After Yang Li finished brewing, he knew that he would not be able to brew better wine than Fengchun in at least ten years.

It can be brewed, one is based on Yang Li's rich contacts, and the other is based on Yang Liu who has already laid the foundation for him.

However, the winemaking industry is always advancing based on the experience of the predecessors. If you can use it in your own wine, the best wine will be produced.

Yang Li is really confident in it.

"Fengchun, I think this name is suitable for this wine." Another judge praised again and again, "If you drink such a bottle of wine while outing, the taste will definitely be better."

Its taste, its concept, everything is suitable.

"Yes, it was born for spring. Spring is the best season to brew it. If it is brewed at other times, it may not have such a taste." Yang Li is very happy with the judges' reactions, which means that his spring is really good. The most important thing is that it can be put on the table, and no matter who drinks it, they will not be stingy in praising it.

That's what I feel about Wushu.

If one day, the relationship between the two of them can be officially made public, then I hope that their relationship can receive countless praises like this bottle of wine drunk by the world.

"I have drank many kinds of good wines, but even so, this Fengchun can still rank among the best among the wines I have drunk." The older judge gave Yang Li a passing number plate and treated Yang Li with a pass number. Li's attitude has also changed a lot, and even the address has been changed to "you".

Each group of judges has a "Pass" sign, which can directly let the contestant's wine appear in the exchange meeting of the day.This is also to prevent the good wine from losing its original taste in repeated competitions.

After all, good wine is hard to come by and should not be wasted.

However, the wines that can get this number plate can be counted in one hand.

In this kind of industry, age and qualifications are of course important, but the craftsmanship of winemaking is even more important.

Even if Yang Li came here in his true colors, as long as he can brew amazing wine at a young age, he can be called a "master".

Great craftsmen should be respected like this.

Fengchun also deserves such praise.

"I don't understand why a winemaker like you is unknown, but please believe that after this exchange meeting, you and your altar will surely have a place among the wines in the whole country and even in the whole world! "
