Chapter 47 [Master Chef's Wine Tasting Skills]

"I'm ashamed. I had nothing to do after I graduated from graduate school. Finally, a friend introduced me and helped me find a job in a nursing home. Now I'm the resident doctor in the nursing home. I usually help the elderly with physical examinations..."

"Oh, really?"

Liu Ke looked Zhou Yi up and down, his eyes full of smiles.

Zhou Yi said he was ashamed, but there was no shameful expression on his face. Instead, he looked indifferent. Even when facing him, the president of a Fortune 500 company, he was not nervous at all, let alone flattery.

With his status, let alone a graduate student who has just graduated, even a golden-collar worker who has been working hard in the workplace for many years and a part-time emperor will feel nervous. But this young man's tone is calm, as if he is talking to an ordinary friend. , and there is a hint of laziness in the words.

This young man is not simple...

Liu Ke also saw countless people, with a strange light in his eyes, he turned to look at Zhang Zhao and said: "Okay, Zhang Zhao, you kid is very interesting. Open the bar, and before you go to see anything, you can have a glass of wine with Brother Zhou. It’s also one of the great pleasures in life.”

"Okay, you two are both knowledgeable. Today's bottle of Mouton is a chance to meet a close friend. If you drink it from the two of you, you will definitely not feel aggrieved..."

Zhang Zhao picked out a bottle of wine from the wine rack and placed it gently on the coffee table, but he was not in a hurry to open it. He looked proud, just like a good boy waiting for praise from an adult.

"Oh, is it a 1945 Mouton?"

Seeing the unique 'V' logo on the bottle, even Liu Ke, a well-traveled man, couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He took the bottle and turned it over in his hand, exclaiming in wonder: "Zhang Zhao, they say that your business is not flashy, but it is actually very profitable. It seems to be true? Even I can't bear to take out such a luxurious thing easily, but you are very generous."

"Brother Liu said this, didn't you and Brother Zhou come here?"

Zhang Zhao looked at the bottle of 1945 Mouton with some pain: "Didn't you just say that if I have something good to share with my friends, of course I can't keep it secret..."

1945 happened to be the end of World War II and the moment when the world celebrated together. It also happened to be one of the best years for Mouton wine. Compared with the perfect wines of 1959, 1982 and 1986, it was even more precious.

But after a few decades, there are not many Moutons in the 1945 vintage left in the world. One bottle currently costs three to four million RMB, which is more expensive than gold! This bottle of wine by Zhang Zhao was bought in Du Shi in Xiangjiang eight years ago. It was bought by Li' Auction House, but it cost him a full 1.5 million yuan.

This is no longer drinking, but drinking a lot of money. So even Liu Ke, the president of a listed company, felt that it was too luxurious. Of course, he did not believe Zhang Zhao’s sweet words, and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I am not the first." This is the first time I've been to your place. Why haven't you given me a drink before? I'm afraid you gave it to Brother Zhou, right?"

Having said this, Liu Ke couldn't help but look at Zhou Yi again. He was even more curious now. Although this young man had a unique temperament, as the saying goes, he was "very aura", but his clothes were ordinary, and he didn't have the spirit of a disciple of an official. His arrogance and extravagance are not like those of a wealthy person, right?

To put it bluntly, when he saw that Zhou Yi was neither a second-generation official nor a second-generation rich man, he really couldn't figure out why Zhang Zhao was so attentive to this young man, and even felt a little flattery.

Who is Zhang Zhao? Although he has only average strength in his eyes, he is still considered a powerful person in Chudu. He is usually a very careful man who never engages in loss-making business. He would be so interested in an ordinary young man. ?

"Haha, Brother Liu, you are overthinking, why don't you try my bottle of Mouton..."

Zhang Zhao was a little embarrassed. Liu Ke guessed right. He opened this bottle of Mouton just to curry favor with Zhou Yi. The old place will soon be upgraded to a five-star hotel, not to mention the old five-star hotel Jiamei. Dolele, which has suddenly emerged in recent years, and 'Janggeum Cuisine', a restaurant run by South Koreans, are also eyeing him.

Zhang Zhao can imagine that it won't be long before these opponents will challenge the old place in various ways. With Zhou Yi's lazy temperament, he will be in trouble if he fails to work hard.

"Well, yes, it is indeed a good wine!"

Liu Ke took a sip of Mouton and did not rush to swallow it. Instead, he let the wine roll on the tip of his tongue and enjoyed the unique taste of the wine: "Chateau Mouton has always insisted on using the most original oak and cherry. The wine is made in wooden barrels, so the Mouton wine is full of the fragrance of roasted wood, which is most intense the moment you swallow it. It is really an incomparable enjoyment..."

"Haha, can Brother Liu help me identify whether this bottle of Mouton was really produced in 1945?"

There are many Mouton wines on the market, but 45-year-old Mouton wines are extremely rare. Even in the auction house, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not buy fakes. Even though Zhang Zhao has a private wine cellar, in fact, it is It's just an arty stick, and he also wants to hear Liu Ke's evaluation.

"My specialty is appreciation of literary and art works. I'm not a professional wine taster. I'm really not sure..."

Liu Ke glanced at Zhou Yi with a smile: "You just said that Brother Zhou is a great connoisseur. I also want to hear what Brother Zhou thinks of this bottle of wine."

"Yes, brother Zhou, just say a few words. If it turns out to be a fake, I will treat guests like treasures, and it will be a big loss..."

Zhang Zhao followed Liu Ke's words and asked about the Book of Changes. Chefs may not necessarily know how to taste wine, but if a chef in the realm of the God of Cooking doesn't understand wine, it would be a joke. This can be regarded as a test of the Book of Changes.

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

Zhou Yi smiled, how could he not see that Liu Ke wanted to test himself? His lazy temper did not mean that he was not competitive, not to mention that he and Liu Ke would have a deal to discuss soon, so naturally he could not let him take it lightly.

Taking a sip like Liu Ke did, Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is indeed a good wine. Brother Zhang, don't worry, you won't lose your face, but..."

"But what?"

Zhang Zhao said anxiously: "Is there really a problem? I spent 1.5 million to take this photo?"

"Zhang Zhao, why are you anxious? Let's listen to what brother Zhou has to say first..."

A look of surprise appeared on Liu Ke's face, but it soon turned into a deep smile.

"This wine is also a rare good wine, but it's a pity that it was not produced in 1945..."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "In the past century, the best wines of France's top winery 'Chateau Mouton Rothschild' were produced in 1945, 1959, 1982 and 1986. The Moutons of these four vintages were once ranked by the world. Top sommeliers rated the wines with full marks. In fact, the quality is almost the same. If we had to rank the superior and inferior, the 45 and 59-year-old Moutons had a stronger cellar aroma due to their longer cellaring time; in comparison, the 82- and 82-year-old Mouton wines had a stronger cellar aroma. The 1986 Mouton is like a slightly undercooked coffee, which always makes people feel a little less sincere..."

"Brother Zhou, you mean that this bottle of Mouton is also a perfect wine, but it is not produced in 1945?" Liu Ke took a deep look at Zhou Yi: "Then can you tell which year this bottle of Mouton was produced? Did it come out?"
