Mysterious city

Zhang Chao's words did have the effect of diverting the firepower. As soon as he pointed the finger at Jiang Zhe, Yang Xiaoting and Lin Lu cast reproachful glances at Jiang Zhe.

That look seemed to say, it’s all your fault for ruining our more than 20,000 bottles of good wine!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhe also sighed helplessly. Lu Yunru's two best friends were too deceptive.

In fact, it was expected. If these two girls were "smart people", they would not have been fooled by Zhang Chao and Gu Teng's poor disguises before.

But since Zhang Chao is unkind, Jiang Zhe thought to himself, don't blame me for being unjust. Since I helped you out of kindness and you didn't appreciate it, but instead slapped me in the face, then Jiang Zhe should have a good talk with him.

However, Jiang Zhe did not rush to fight back. Instead, he picked up the wine glass, shook it gently twice, and then put it under the light to examine it carefully for a few seconds.

After that, he gently took two sips of the dry wine in the cup, but it was different from Lin Lu and others' drinking.

Jiang Zhe only touched it lightly with each sip, letting his lips and tongue touch the wine like a dragonfly, and separated without taking a big gulp.

But after just two simple "processes", Jiang Zhe basically knew the "true identity" of this wine.

Although Jiang Zhe prefers high-alcohol liquors such as white wine and vodka that are strong and easy to drink compared to dry whites and dry reds that have a softer taste.

But Kenshin has a special liking for dry whites and dry reds. Not only does he have a collection of many expensive wines from a long time ago, he is also very knowledgeable about all kinds of wines. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a tasting expert.

Therefore, as Kenshin's "personal disciple", although Jiang Zhe is not interested in dry white or dry red.

But the master always drags him to drink together. A boss like Kenshin who exudes an "old aristocracy" all over his body and gives people a "very pretentious" feeling even if he doesn't do anything, naturally doesn't like it. Maybe it's like a rough guy like Jiang Zhe who drank a lot of white wine.

Therefore, even though he was very helpless, under the influence of Kenshin, Jiang Zhe had drank a lot of expensive wines and had some knowledge of wine appreciation.

The more expensive the wine, the more difficult it is to taste it, because it is the same in almost all industries in the world. There are few perfect works, and this is especially true for wine.

There is a little difference in the brewing process. The color, luster and taste of the produced drinks are all different.

Even if there are flaws in expensive wine, they are very small. It requires extremely high experience and extremely sensitive taste talent to accurately judge the quality of a bottle of expensive wine with a long history.

But Zhang Chao's low-quality wines bought at roadside supermarkets are different. Compared with famous wines, tasting poor wines is countless times easier because there are so many faults and they are very obvious, so you can easily pick out many of them.

The so-called "wine tasting", to put it bluntly, is a process of finding faults. Only perfect works without faults are worthy of bragging.

And now these are in vain, just like what Jiang Zhe did just now, with just a simple look and taste, he has already discovered many clues.

"Brother Zhang, it seems like you don't know much about wine as you said."

"I can see such a simple problem at a glance. How can you slander me and say it's my problem with sobering up? I did it for you because I saw that you don't know how to do such a simple thing, Brother Zhang."

Jiang Zhe sneered and told the truth bluntly.

Zhang Chao's expression immediately changed when he heard this, but how could he admit it now that the matter had come to this?

But Jiang Zhe didn't give him a chance to continue making up lies. Before he could formulate his words, Jiang Zhe immediately blocked his mouth.

"Since Brother Zhang knows nothing about wine, Xiao Jiang will take the liberty of giving Brother Zhang a lesson today on why this wine is so astringent."

"First of all, the way you drink it is wrong. Wine is not beer, so how can you drink half the glass in one gulp? If it doesn't feel astringent, then your taste buds are too strong."

"It seems like you should drink beer more often than wine."

As he said this, Jiang Zhe glanced at the people present casually. When he said this, the faces of Zhang Chao, Lin Lu and others immediately turned from white to red, and their clamoring looks softened a bit. They all lowered their heads.

"Secondly, Brother Zhang, these dry white wines you are getting cannot possibly be good wines worth 20,000 yuan a bottle."

“To judge whether a wine is good or bad, first of all, you have to look at its color.”

“The color of white wine reflects the craftsmanship, flavor and body of the wine.”

Jiang Zhe began to tell the story in an orderly manner. Not only Zhang Chao, Lin Lu and others were stunned, but even Lu Yunru cast a curious look at Jiang Zhe.

She also knows a lot about wine, but after so many years in the business world, she has met very few people who have such a systematic understanding of wine.

This is an impetuous era. Most of the "second generation" people who have money and the ability to drink good wine basically only pay attention to the price of wine. This is where they show their superiority.

As for the brewing process, history and culture of famous wines, they have no interest in learning anything about them.

At that time, the second generation was more willing to mix with beautiful girls with thin waists, long legs, and perky butts.

Even those who are knowledgeable about wine tasting are mostly middle-aged and can calm down when they are older.

It is very rare for a young man of Jiang Zhe's age to speak so eloquently.

However, Lu Yunru was a little more curious about Jiang Zhe's identity.

You must know that the knowledge of famous wine tasting cannot be learned from books alone. The training of this ability requires personal practice.

It can be said that this ability is "splashed" with money.

How can children from ordinary families have enough money to learn wine tasting?

As for Jiang Zhe's family background, Lu Yunru didn't know anything about it, and she didn't know about it because she didn't care about it at all.

However, looking at Jiang Zhe's dress and habits, he didn't look like a rich second generation from a well-off family. This made Lu Yunru a little confused about where Jiang Zhe learned his skills.

Jiang Zhe could naturally feel Lu Yunru's hot and slightly curious eyes staring closely at him. He coughed lightly, turned to smile at Lu Yunru, and continued talking.

"Let's not talk about red wine, let's talk about dry white wine for now," Jiang Zhe paused, "If the dry white wine is lemon color, it means that the wine did not come into contact with the peel during the fermentation process."

“This type of wine is generally very light in body, crisp in taste, and of a refreshing style.”

When Lu Yunru heard this, she looked at Jiang Zhe with a hint of approval, because her understanding was basically consistent with what Jiang Zhe had just said.

“If the dry white has a deep golden color, the wine may have been exposed to skins during fermentation or over-aged in oak barrels.”

“Such wines are generally fuller-bodied and more complex in flavor.”

Having said this, Jiang Zhe paused for a few seconds, while Lin Lu on the side had already asked impatiently: "What about these bottles of dry white from our Ah Chao? What type are they?"

Lin Lu had her own answer in mind. The so-called rich and complex taste was actually a bit dry, bitter and astringent, right?

But no matter how you look at these glasses of wine, they don’t show the golden color that Jiang Zhe said!

"Don't worry, I haven't mentioned the type of this wine yet," Jiang Zhe paused and smiled mysteriously, "This wine is different from the two mentioned above."

At this point, Zhang Chao felt his heart was in his throat.

Whether your "coffee status" will drop in price because of these bottles of wine depends on what this guy says next.

At the same time, he also felt an inexplicable sense of excitement, because although he didn't understand the two wines mentioned by Jiang Zhe, they sounded very high-end.

Since the wine I bought is different from either of the two, did I accidentally buy some "higher-end" wine?

Although Zhang Chao knew that the bottles of dry white he bought were just cheap goods, maybe that kid Jiang Zhe didn't understand wine at all and was just talking nonsense?

But there is no such good thing in the world. Jiang Zhe's next words directly made Zhang Chao's heart sink to the bottom.

"This kind of wine is turbid in color. There is still a lot of sediment after sobering up. It tastes astringent but not fragrant. Brother Zhang, you must not have kept it at the right temperature, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chao's expression changed drastically, and he said unconvinced: "How, how is that possible? I keep it frozen and it will never go bad!"

In order to make the taste better, Zhang Chao froze these bottles of wine early after buying them.

Zhang Chao's harsh words played right into Jiang Zhe's hands. If he was not a professional and insisted on making up his words, he would only make himself look ugly.

"That's right, how can dry white be placed in the freezer? It will affect the taste. The best drinking temperature should be consistent with the cool room temperature, about 18 to 21 degrees Celsius."

"But Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry about it, because judging from the body and quality of the wine, these bottles of wine only cost 200 yuan, so there's no need to feel too sorry."

Jiang Zhe smiled and gave Zhang Chao a fatal blow. Zhang Chao's face turned pale when Jiang Zhe accurately reported the price of the wine he bought.

He couldn't figure out how a guy who wore a broken crown and looked like a loser in both his dress and temperament knew so much about wine.

And from what he said before, it seems that he knows a little bit about the culture of Oxford and Cambridge. Where does this guy come from?

But despite this, Zhang Chao still refused to admit defeat and said angrily: "Nonsense! I have more than 20,000 bottles of wine, and now you have more than 200 bottles of wine. You think I am a fool!" "

Zhang Chao was already hurriedly swearing, but even though his voice was loud, anyone could feel that he lacked confidence.
