Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Pei Rong and Lin Yueqiu found their place in Yang Li's booth after trying their best.

"Hey, can't I drink Fengchun?" Pei Rong's eyes were already a little confused, basically being dragged away by Lin Yueqiu.

Pei Rong's drinking capacity is definitely not bad, but he always went to the booths with the highest alcohol content to drink, and followed Lin Yueqiu to drink.When all kinds of wine are mixed, they are particularly intoxicating.

Probably because the atmosphere here was too relaxed and Lin Yueqiu was by his side, Pei Rong was a little presumptuous.

"You have to wait a little longer. You can drink when the second round begins." Yang Li was also a little embarrassed. The other party came to support him for free, but now he can't even drink a glass of wine.

But a precedent cannot be set.

If it was given to Pei Rong, the others would also have to give it, so it would be very rude to the guests who had been waiting in vain.

"But seriously, do you want to shoot a TV series with a similar theme in the future?" Pei Rong regained his sanity a little after drinking the water that Lin Yueqiu handed over, "I think the atmosphere of this exchange meeting is really Very good. In my estimation, the artists who came here this time will come if there is another event next year. Everyone is very happy, very happy."

"I don't have this plan for the time being, but it can be considered. It's okay to act by yourself, it always feels weird, investment or something is okay." Yang Li thought for a while and said, "But you are all having a good time here, then The best. In fact, I was also worried at the beginning, what if you think this place is boring and don’t like drinking.”

"Haha, is there anyone in the entertainment industry who doesn't drink?" Pei Rong smiled, "But we have all drank a lot of good wine, and it is not so easy to satisfy us. But the ones I drank here this year The wine is better than anything I've ever had before."

"It's all about everyone's efforts."

"I hope you can continue to do it this time next year." Pei Rong suddenly became serious, "My biggest worry now is that I'm a little too popular, and I have to make excuses wherever I go, because I don't know if someone will secretly take pictures behind my back. Me. It’s the only meeting I’ve seen so far that allows me to relax and drink to my heart’s content.”

"Yang Li, you really did a great thing." Lin Yueqiu followed Pei Rong's words and said, "No one would have thought that this exchange would be like this."

"It's only halfway through now." Yang Li was already a little embarrassed.

It would be fine if he was praised by people in the brewing industry. After all, he is a young man, and it is only natural for him to be praised by the elders.

But being praised so much by his peers in the entertainment industry, Yang Li felt very shy.

I always feel that I don't seem to be so powerful.

"I can tell if it's only half opened." Lin Yueqiu said firmly, "I may not be popular next year, but you must send me another invitation letter for the exchange meeting."

"Dalin, you are too unambitious, how could we be too angry?" Pei Rong curled his lips, "As long as we don't violate the bottom line of the law, we will not be too angry at all. Besides, your acting skills are better than mine, so I don't worry about you What are you worrying about?"

Lin Yueqiu didn't refute, but just replied lightly: "That's all I said."

"Haha, for sure." Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little off, Yang Li said hastily, "Please also make room for this time next year."

"I must keep it for you."

"Don't worry, I will advertise for you for free after the exchange meeting." Pei Rong laughed and said, "Do you want to join the brotherhood?"

"Brothers?"

"Yeah." Pei Rong looked at Yang Li with a smile, "It's no different from the sister group that Xiao Hua created."

"No, there's no need." Yang Li thought of the incidents of the sister groups' tearing up, and quickly refused.

"Well, I still expect you to make some wine for our group after joining." Pei Rong sighed, "Since you refuse, then forget it."

How could I agree to such a thing?

Yang Li was speechless.

He doesn't want to join any messy group, he just needs Zheng Wushu.

Zheng Wushu rubbed his nose and turned to talk to Spike.

"I can't find them either." Spike was extremely depressed, "There are too many people here."

"How about I ask the staff for help." Zheng Wushu thought for a while and replied, "The exchange meeting is already over half, and the voting has already started."

"Okay." Spike agreed with Zheng Wushu's suggestion, "It's beautiful to meet spring, but there are still mostly men on the court. Many men may think that this wine is too soft, so they may not vote for your lover."

"He won't care about winning or losing." Zheng Wushu didn't worry about it.

"My friends are too good at hiding." Zheng Wushun didn't care, but Spike cared a lot, "I like his wine so much, even if he doesn't get the first place, he will take the top three. Don't worry, wait for my friend After everyone praises Yang Li, his votes will definitely far exceed the others!"

Zheng Wushu looked at Spike with a confident look, and was embarrassed to tear him down.

Perhaps Spike's friend is really well-known internationally, but in China, few people would know about it.Even if it is the first time for an exchange meeting of this level, let alone pay attention to the judges of the red wine festival.

How many can recognize them?

But this was also Spike's kindness, so Zheng Wushu obediently kept his mouth shut.

The few foreign judges brought by Spike can be regarded as the most leisurely people in this exchange meeting.

Although the language is different, the sense of taste is interlinked.

The reason why they readily agreed to Spike to come to this exchange meeting is definitely not just for Spike's face, his face is not so valuable yet.The main reason is that they want to come, want to come to this ancient civilized country where the wine culture has been developed for thousands of years.

It is understandable that developing countries choose to develop their economies at the beginning, and every country does so.When the country's economic strength is improved, it will develop culture, and the same is true for this country.

Today, the country's economic strength has attracted the attention of the world, and its cultural construction has also begun to gradually advance.If Spike had submitted the meeting with them ten years earlier, perhaps these judges might not have come, but they would have come at this time.

Thankfully, although they were prepared to come here in vain, this time it was worth it.

Although this exchange meeting is far inferior to the European countries that are familiar with this kind of exchange meeting in many details, the sincerity and heart can be seen simply and intuitively.

It's better than anything else.

Of course, the wine here is also very good.

Several judges spread out and went to different booths to taste fine wines.There are self-brewed wines and some rare wines, and they don't pick them. As long as the wine is good, they will come forward with a smile, express their love with simple English and body language, and basically get a smile.

Soon, two of the judges met again at a certain booth.

"Dennis, don't you dislike this kind of wine made from wheat? Since you don't like it, I'll drink it for you." Weldon held the wine glass and wanted to dismiss his friend.

He could see clearly that there was only one last cup left in this booth.

It has to be his!

"Since when did I hate wine made from wheat? Don't talk nonsense." Dennis was unwilling to give up the wine in front of him, "Speaking of which, there is a wine bar that you like very much, why don't you drink it? "

"I've drank that one several times, but I haven't drank this one here once."

"You go over there."

"Why don't you go?"

Seeing that the two foreign friends were about to quarrel, the owner of the booth panicked.

He doesn't speak English, and he doesn't know how to persuade him if he wants to.

By the way, staff, let's call the staff.

"Two gentlemen." Just when the owner of the booth was at a loss, he saw a lady in casual clothes come to talk to him.

Hey, this person seems to be from the Ministry of Culture.

The owner of the booth still remembered the other party, because there was only a group of people from the Ministry of Culture, and this was the only woman, so it was naturally impressive.

"I'll take care of it." The lady turned to look at the owner of the booth, "Keep busy."

"Okay, thank you." The booth owner finally breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he didn't want to lose face in front of international friends.He has heard it all, and if this exchange meeting is done well, people from other countries will be invited to come in the future. First impressions are very important, so don't be rude.

"Gentlemen, hello, I'm Chen Haiqin, I belong to the Ministry of Culture." Chen Haiqin looked at Dennis and Weldon with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the two should be Mr. Dennis and Weldon. I'm in France I was lucky enough to meet the two of you at the Red Wine Festival, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chen Haiqin actually spotted them from afar, but she never came up because she was not sure.

When Province C was preparing to hold this exchange meeting and submitted it to the Ministry of Culture for record, they had already considered whether to invite famous winemakers or judges from abroad.It's just that after everyone held a meeting to discuss, it was decided to hold the domestic exchange meeting first, and talk about other things after it was completed, so as not to waste time if the exchange meeting was not completed.

And Chen Haiqin was also sent to help guide the work because of her experience in participating in similar activities.However, this exchange meeting was much better than they imagined, let alone to guide the work, this exchange meeting can become a case for them to learn from!

Originally, Chen Haiqin was still wondering if she had come here for nothing, but fortunately, there was still room for her.

Soon, Chen Haiqin started chatting with Weldon Dennis.

With such a translator, Weldon and Dennis can more easily communicate with the winemaker about the quality of the wine and share their thoughts.

"There are two masters here, I think it should be a good communication opportunity for the winemakers present." Chen Haiqin gave a small compliment, "I can translate at the side."

"It's not just the two of us." Dennis replied in a daze, "Except for me and Weldon, Kenneth and Frank are all here."

Dennis knew all the names Chen Haiqin mentioned.

Although she has only seen the faces of these two people, she has also read the names of other people in the corresponding materials.

If I remember correctly, all of them are the leading sommeliers abroad, serving as special guests or judges in various wine competitions.

Unexpectedly, have all of them come?

Chen Haiqin felt that it was necessary for her to write a report on this matter.

It seems that their plan to invite international friends after holding three exchange meetings set by the Ministry of Culture is still too conservative.

There is no need for three terms, nor three years, just next year!

At this time next year, they can continue to hold this exchange meeting, inviting winemakers from Asia, Europe, and North America to let them see the variety of wines in their countries!

In terms of export trade, we must add several more wines.

Chen Haiqin immediately called his colleagues and asked them to follow other foreign friends who were scattered in this venue, and try to let them communicate with the winemakers in their own countries. It would be even better if they could ask about the excellent experience abroad.

And she went to other booths with these two people, and acted as a middleman to translate simultaneously.

Halfway through the exchange meeting, voting can already begin.Similarly, wines from different booths can also be displayed in the second round, inviting more people to come and taste them.

Those who didn't get their favorite wine in the first round can line up in front of the booth of the wine they want to taste in advance when the second round starts.

Yang Li's booth was surrounded by people early on.

Taking advantage of his height, Spike shamelessly occupied the most favorable position with a few friends.

"Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you." Spike smiled and showed his white teeth, waiting to deliver Yang Li's wine to his friends.

The friends hadn't had Yang Li's wine yet, and they dispersed as soon as they arrived at the venue.Compared with this kind of fixed itinerary, they are more willing to pan for gold according to their own ideas and find their favorite wine in the vast crowd.

It took Spike a lot of lip service to get the people together.

He has blown out the cowhide, and he is waiting for Zheng's lover to help smooth things over!

Zheng Wushu also came over and gave Yang Li a "reassuring" look. Yang Li felt something, and smiled and agreed to Spike's request.

"Please taste it slowly." Yang Li skillfully poured wine on the table.

This time there are twenty cups, and one cup is exactly one bite.

Of course Spike's friends all know about Yang Li.Spike showed them the video of Yang Li fighting wine, and knew that the other party was currently China's leading young winemaker.But Spike blows each other up so much that they are less eager to taste each other's wine.

Before coming to the exchange meeting, their impression of Huaxia wine was "strong".

Whether it is Moutai, which is famous in the world, or Luzhou Laojiao, which gradually became famous later, or sorghum wine, etc., almost all of them have a strong and fragrant taste.After one sip, it is so spicy that people's throat hurts, which is completely different from foreign wines.

Foreign wines are generally sweeter. For example, rum is fermented and distilled from sugarcane juice.The degree of beer is often not high, and the same is true for red wine.Therefore, when tasting this spirit, almost everyone is not used to it.

Of course, there are also people who are obsessed with this kind of wine.

But eating habits are not so easy to change. It is also an Asian culture. People in Europe and the United States prefer Japanese sake or some fruit wines from Korea.

But after this exchange meeting, these people knew that this country not only has spirits like Moutai, but also many good wines with unique taste but not so strong.

And these good wines are almost all good things that are not well-known in the world and can't be drunk at all.

These judges were almost fascinated by the wines displayed in this exchange meeting.

Eastern culture.

This is the oriental culture!

Maybe their taste is not top-notch, and their color is not so clear, but the vitality and variety they present are simply not seen in ordinary red wine competitions.

No matter how much red wine becomes, it is still red wine, but there are so many varieties that you can't name.Different raw materials, different temperatures, and different brewing methods give completely different tastes!

After the drinks, the judges found themselves a little lingering.

But what is presented to them now is not this ancient formula containing oriental culture, but a fruit wine fermented for one and a half months brewed by a young man with his own knowledge.

Although the judges will not directly make a conclusion, they still feel a little pity in their hearts.

For fine wine, historical background is also very important.

Because there are many wines here that they have never drunk before, they will have a great sense of freshness when drinking.This novelty greatly lowered their expectations and made them more tolerant of these wines.

But for things like fruit wine, the judges drank more types than Yang Li had eaten.

How amazing fruit wine can this young man make?

The seemingly numerous ideas just simply turned around in the minds of these judges.

One bite size, easy to handle.

After Fengchun entered the mouth, the judges knew that this glass of wine was specially brewed for someone.

Even though they have drank so many fruit wines, this wine can be called top-notch in terms of its delicate taste and unique aroma.

It's hard to imagine that the person who brewed this fruit wine was such a young man.

It's just that as obvious as the advantages of this wine are, so are the disadvantages.

The degree is too low.

But any wine made for the public will increase the alcohol content, which can be achieved with a slight modification of the recipe, and increasing the alcohol content will also make it a step further for this wine.

The aroma of wine is closely related to the alcohol content.

But even though its alcohol content is very low, even though it is brewed for one person, its taste can still amaze the judges.

Spike wasn't lying.

The minds of the judges are quite complicated.

If it is from the direction of humanities and art, this kind of good wine that contains the inner feelings of the winemaker can undoubtedly get a high score.But in terms of taste and publicity, this kind of wine is too unfriendly to ordinary people.

Even if it is placed abroad, Yang Li's wine will probably only be popular among some people and be regarded as a classic, but it may take a long way to be recognized by the public.

Increasing the alcohol content is the easiest thing for winemakers, just use a little refreshment when distilling.

But Yang Li chose the most troublesome method.

Not only did he not increase the alcohol content, but he tried his best to lower the alcohol content, and even shortened the fermentation time, so as to control the alcohol content.Later, in order to make up for the lack of aroma of the wine, various techniques were used to enhance the aroma.

This kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive wine has the highest intentions, the highest artistic quality, and the lowest commercial quality.

The judges can't do what they want.

Seeing that the judges paused for a while, Chen Haiqin felt a little anxious.

As the host, if Yang Li can't get a good evaluation from the judges of these international competitions, it will definitely not be good news for the next cultural exchange meeting, and for Yang Li himself.

But why are the judges silent?

Before Chen Haiqin could think about it, soon, the judges spoke one by one.

Chen Haiqin was conscientiously doing the translation work on the side.

"Your wine is very good, just like its name, spring is beautiful."

"Although I don't like this low-alcohol drink, I like your heart, which is better than your wine."

"Your wine is brewed for a specific person. I am very touched by your heart. But I hope that when I come back next year, your wine can be slightly changed to become more suitable for the taste of the public. I I think this wine should be more famous at that time.”

If you choose to make wine for one person, you must be prepared not to be accepted by the public.

"If you want to increase the alcohol to produce this wine..." Chen Haiqin paused, but still translated the words of the judge named Frank, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Great.

It's not that the judges hate Yang Li's wine, it's just that they can't think of what to say for a while.

Especially the words of this person who is both a top sommelier and a famous wine company are quite amazing.

"When the time comes, the agency right in the United States, I hope it can be settled now. All the girls will be crazy about your wine."

Zheng Wushu listened, and smiled unconsciously.

Yang Li brewed this wine for him alone.

Maybe Yang Li has a way to make the wine more delicious, but he still chooses a low alcohol content in order to cater to his taste.

This is Yang Li's intention.

Knowing such a thing from others made Zheng Wushu unexpectedly happy.

He and Yang Li may not have a public day, but everyone who has been drinking Fengchun may understand that Yang Li is using wine to express his love to someone.

Small, secret love.

No one knows.

But everyone knows it.
