Chapter 346: The way to drink
"Do you have something to do later?" Mahi Valen asked Qiu Kai while eating the raw meat in front of him.
Hearing her words, Qiu Kai thought for a moment, and seemed to be nothing, so he shook his head.
"Then have you visited here?" Seeing Qiu Kai shook his head, Mahi Valen asked with a smile.
"Yesterday, your elder sister took me to see the courtyard in front and the forest outside." Qiu Kai said when he heard Maxi's words.
"There is also a bathroom on the roof?" Maxi said with a smile when she heard Qiu Kai's answer. When she heard what she said, Qiu Kai smiled embarrassedly, but he knew that this matter should not be hidden. After all, there was a maid who encountered this matter yesterday.
Besides, Qiu Kai could also feel that when they were taking a shower, there was clearly a big bat outside the glass.
Ordinary bats won’t grow so big! They will also watch Qiu Kai and the others’ movements there.
You should know that bats are actually blind. The way they use to locate is to use sound waves, not eyes.
"At that moment, are you interested? Come and have a look at our wine cellar? There are a lot of good things there." Seeing Qiu Kai's appearance, Maxi did not discuss too much on this topic, but said to Qiu Kai with a smile.
"Okay!" Although Qiu Kai had no interest in this thing when he heard the wine, he nodded, and it didn't matter.
"Then let's eat quickly!" Seeing Qiu Kai agreeing, Maxi smiled and began to speed up.
After lunch, the two of them came to Qiu Kai, after brunch, they came to the yard behind the castle. There was a very ordinary decoration of wooden house. After walking over, Qiu Kai discovered that there were actually many grape stakes behind the wooden house. There was also this thing in his manor, and it was known that it was used to make wine.
Moreover, it seems that these wooden stakes have been here for a few hundred years, and now he really has some expectations for this wine. When he goes to see what wine it is, it deserves Mahi's joyful praise.
I walked into the cabin, but there was nothing in it. There was only one bed. This was specially kept for guarding people when grapes were abundant in order to avoid being destroyed by wild animals or birds.
In addition to a bed, there is a wardrobe. Because it is very close to the castle, there are also ii here. Just go back to the castle and eat directly, so there is no need to worry about it.
He pushed away the wardrobe next to him and a tunnel appeared. Maxi turned around and smiled at Qiu Kai, then walked in first. Qiu Kai followed her to the ground, walking about a hundred stairs. Qiu Kai followed Maxi to the cellar underground in their family. As soon as he came in, Qiu Kai smelled a very fragrant smell of wine.
At the same time, after Mashi turned on the light, Qiu Kai couldn't help but be a little surprised. He only saw that the underground cellar of the Valen family was no smaller than his manor, and there were separated rooms everywhere. On the walls of these rooms, wooden shelves were placed one by one.
The oak barrels were placed on it. Qiu Kai scanned it and knew that the wines in it all seemed to look very vintage.
"Romanians like to drink red wine. We are one of the top ten wine producers in the world. The wine here has been brewing since my father became an earl. The oldest one should have been 337 years." Looking at Qiu Kai's gaze, Mahi smiled and said to Qiu Kai, and then introduced him to the story about Romania and the wine.
When it comes to red wine, everyone’s first impression is France, which is indisputable.
French red wine has good quality, good quality, high price, medium and low prices. Among the top 100 red wines in the world, France accounts for about 80% of them. From ancient times to the present, France has always been a giant in the wine industry.
In addition to France, Rome in Europe is also a place of red wine, mainly because the Holy See is here.
People in the Holy See like drinking red wine, calling it the holy blood of Jesus, so gradually the powerful people in the Roman Kingdom liked to drink this thing. With a market, people naturally grew it, and Roman red wine was also very good.
In addition, Spain, Germany, the newly released Australian, South American intelligence, Argentina, Portugal, and Romania, among the top ten wine-making countries, is only ranked ninth, and South Africa is tenth.
But don’t think that Romanian wines are worse than those of the eight countries above. Romanian wines are not famous, not because they are not delicious, but because they are so delicious, so they don’t take out Romanian wines.
This is not only a big grape producer, but also a big wine consumer. People in this country are willing to drink this.
A large number of people store it, don’t sell it, keep it and drink it slowly, producing 100 bottles of wine. The owner of the winery may have to keep five or ten bottles of wine himself, and most of the remaining ones are digested in the country. It would be nice to have two bottles of wine sold out in the 100 bottles of wine. The export volume is so low that others can’t drink it even if they want to drink it, so the evaluation is naturally not too high.
But generally speaking, as long as it is a wine produced in Romania and whenever it is a wine exhibition, it is like winning gold and silver. It can be seen that the wines in this country are indeed good.
However, Qiu Kai really doesn't understand these things very much, but it doesn't prevent him from watching the fun.
As for Maxi, he was also walking, and introducing the situation here to Qiu Kai.
Generally speaking, the best time to drink red wine is 5 to 10 years. After 10 years, the wine will easily die and cannot be awakened with a decanter. According to Mahi, wine that has been more than 300 years old is basically the same as vinegar.
Of course, there are exceptions in everything. If the quality of the wine is really excellent, it may be stored for more than fifty years. However, basically, there are very few wines that have been stored for more than one hundred years, because the wine can no longer be drunk.
But the Valen family is not an ordinary family after all. They will change oak barrels every twenty years, and ordinary people will change barrels. This is the most terrifying thing, because while changing, water and bacteria will follow it into the wine, so the wine will be over.
But the Earl of Valen had a way, and he transported the wine to the sterile vacuum laboratory of the court, where he changed the wine.
Every time you change it, it costs about 20 million to 30 million euros. This is just a loss of money, just to change the wine once.
However, it can be seen from here that this Earl of Valen has quite a research on red wine.
Qiu Kai and Maxi walked into the depths of the cellar, where there were nearly 10,000 barrels of wine, all of which were brewed over the years.
It is only for people of the Valen family to drink. Of course, if sometimes the "subjects" outside make good, they can also give them some. For these wines, the subordinates are envious of a lot.
"This is the first batch of wine brewed at that time, only this barrel is left. Try it." Walking to the middle of the cellar, Mahi took out a goblet from the shelf next to him. This cup is different from ordinary wine glasses.
It is not made of glass, but polished with a kind of jade. This jade is only available in China. It was specially introduced from China. It is called Jiuquan Luminous Light. It is a very expensive drinking utensil. This wine glass looks nothing surprising when it is usually done, but as long as you pour wine and put it under the moonlight, the cup will shine in it. It is named after it.
That luminous glass of grape wine refers to the kind of cup. It may be worth tens of millions of dollars just by these two cups.
He opened the wine plug, pulled out half a glass of wine, and Maxi handed the wine to Qiu Kai.
Qiu Kai smelled it first and it smelled really fragrant, but there was a hint of sourness in the fragrance, which felt pretty good.
As Old Thor taught him before, he picked up the wine glass, tasted it, flowed the wine from both sides of his tongue, and then returned from the middle, feeling the taste of sourness and bitterness and sweetness. After all, it has been stored for more than 300 years, and it is better to taste than what is grown in Qiu Kai's winery, but it is also delicious. After all, Qiu Kai's wine is sprinkled. If it has been stored for three or five years, it will probably be difficult to catch up with the wine.
"Well, it's really good." Nodded, Qiu Kai swallowed the wine in his mouth directly, and said with a tut.
"There is another way to drink this wine. Do you want to try it?" Seeing Qiu Kai swallowing the wine, Maxi here also smiled and said. When she heard her words, Qiu Kai became interested. There is another way to drink it? Don't you drink it with your mouth?
"This wine is OK, drink it like this..." Maxi looked at Qiu Kai, and after saying that, he took the wine glass in Qiu Kai's hand, took a sip into his mouth, hugged Qiu Kai's head, and kissed her lips heavily. When the two of them met, the wine slowly passed along the tongue. The taste of the wine, now with the human taste, was indeed better than before.
"How do you feel?" After about five minutes, Maxi's mouth slowly left Qiu Kai and asked him with a blink of an eye.
"It seems that I haven't drunk it..." Looking at Maxi's seductive red lips in front of me, Qiu Kai chuckled and went to meet again.
As the kiss took longer, the two of them moved more and more. Finally, a trace of blood that was even more bloodier than red wine fell on the ground of the cellar with a soft moan...
Two hours later, when Qiu Kai and Maxi left the mill again, Maxi's face was still very red, and her walking posture was a little weird, but this could not stop it. The joy on her face at this time was because she also broke through. Originally, her level was only at the eighth level of the dark energy, and after these two hours, her strength had been improved to the second level of the Huajin.
Although she is not as strong as Heda, for her, such a span has to be waited for decades. (To be continued)
