Chapter 13 Promotion to Junior Sommelier
"Is this wine so good? Can you tell me more about it?" Jiang Feng wanted to know more about it.

Now Jiang Feng is as thirsty for wine knowledge as a baby sucking milk.

"This wooden barrel winery has a lot of stories. It is also called 'Wudang Wangzhuang'..."

"What is 'Wudang Wangzhuang'? Is it the Wangzhuang of Wudang?"

Li Yu had already moved behind them at some point, and couldn't hold back his chatterbox, so he interjected.

"Where are you talking about? I said 'Mouton Wangzhuang', which is one of the eight major wineries in France. The free translation of Chateau Mouton is 'Wudang Wangzhuang', and the transliteration is 'Mouton Chateau'. It was in ten The [-]th century has been a garden for planting wine grapes, but for a long time, the winery has not been well taken care of, and the quality of the wine produced has a tendency to decline.

In 1855, during the reign of Napoleon III, Bordeaux, France established an official classification of Bordeaux wineries, namely the "Bordeaux 1855 Classified Growths". The classifieds represent high-level wines from the Left Bank region of Bordeaux, France.

It is a pity that 'Wudang Wangzhuang' was not included in the first level, and was only ranked No. 1 in the second level.

Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the banker who bought the 'Wudang Wangzhuang' in 1853, expressed dissatisfaction and swore, "I can't be the first, I'm not willing to be second, I am the king of Wudang".Although the winery is officially classified as a second-tier winery, he never regards his wine as a second-tier wine, and spends a lot of money to improve the quality of the wine. The same odds are given.

This unremitting effort finally bore fruit 150 years later. When the classified wineries were revised in 1973, other wineries maintained their original classification. The only exception was Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, which was upgraded from the original Class 2 winery. The winery was promoted to a first-class winery.

This is the story of 'Château Mouton'.Others may regard you as second-class, but if you insist on being that unique existence, others will have to recognize you! "

"This story is so inspiring! It's like being slapped in the face, and now it's back!" Jiang Feng also heard his blood surging, and asked: "The only wine that has been promoted from a second-tier winery to a first-tier winery. , I don’t know how many bottles I can sell now?”

Yan Jia is obviously very clear:

"The price of the collector's edition of Mouton Chateau's red wine has soared very high at present. In China, the price of the 1945 Mouton red wine has soared to more than 18."

"18 a bottle?" Li Yu couldn't help interjecting again, "Isn't this price too outrageous? A bottle of 82 Lafite is only 1973 to [-]. Is his Mouton Château cheaper than Lafite?" Is it amazing? After all, Lafite is an old first-growth, but Château Mouton was promoted to first-growth in [-], and the price is higher than Lafite, why?”

"There must be a reason for this?" Jiang Feng guessed, "Existence is reasonable. If someone buys 18, it must have its value. This is the same as spending 1000 million overnight, right?"

Yan Jia felt that this metaphor was a bit strange, but she nodded and said, "Jiang Feng is right. There is indeed a reason behind this. For Chateau Mouton, 1945 was a special year."

"That year was particularly good?" Li Yu asked.

Yan Jia shook her head slightly: "I don't know if the grapes in 1945 were a good year. But I know that 1945 is a very important year for the whole world. You know, this year the world Did any important event happen in history?"

Jiang Feng has two fatal advantages. The first advantage is that he is handsome; the second advantage is that he is good at studying.These two things are inborn. It is too difficult to become a male god by working hard the day after tomorrow. It is easy to have accidents if you have plastic surgery. In addition, you have to participate in various extracurricular remedial classes to cultivate a top student, and the possibility is almost zero. , On the contrary, it will lead to side effects such as weariness and light body.

Therefore, to outsiders, possessing such advantages means that they are exceptionally talented and can be called gods.

But for Jiang Feng, who was born with it, he couldn't feel it.

Just because you don't feel it very much, your strengths will be exposed inadvertently.

When Li Yu racked his brains and couldn't think of anything special about 1945, Jiang Feng blurted out:

"In 1945, there were many major events, such as the victory of China's Anti-Japanese War, the victory of the World Anti-Sistism War, the establishment of the United Nations, the establishment of the World Financial Organization... and so on."

Jiang Feng mentioned eight or nine important events in a row, as if he had installed the software of world events in his mind.

Li Yu said jealously: "Jiang Feng, you don't know how to do it, right? Did you do your homework in advance?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "What homework do I need to do? In high school, I got full marks in history."

"..." Li Yu thought to himself, will he die if he doesn't pretend to be B?But in front of Yan Jia, he didn't dare to talk about Jiang Feng.

Yan Jia nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, the Anti-Sist War was won in 1945. For the French, the year when Hitler fell was particularly commemorative. To celebrate this historical moment, the French wine industry, Named 1945 the 'Year of Victory'. So this year's wine also has commemorative value.

For Château Mouton, it is even more memorable.Because Mouton Chateau has invited an artist to design a wine label for them every year since 1945. The wine label of Château Mouton Red Wine in 1945 was created by the famous painter Philippe Julien. Its main body is the initials of "Victory", which fits well with the background of the year at that time.There are only a handful of collections in the world now.

"So, it's not surprising that the 1945 Mouton wine can sell for more than 18."

There are so many stories behind one wine, Jiang Feng is becoming more and more interested in the wine world.

"If the Mouton wine Jiang Feng brought can be sold for 18 bottles, we will all be rich." Li Yu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Jiang Feng looked at him strangely: "Li Yu, I am the one who got rich, not you."

Li Yu wilted, and then said: "It hurts my heart, old man, I didn't expect you to say such a thing."

Yan Jia said from the side: "Don't argue about this matter, the price of Mouton wine outside is not so high. After all, wine is wine, a consumer product, and it will be gone after drinking. Except for a few special types, other Wine still respects the laws of the market. Now, the price of dry red wine from Chateau Mouton after 2000 is about 5000 yuan to 9000 yuan."

"Ah, is this the price?" Li Yucai calmed down, "If it's 5000 yuan a bottle, then the price of 3 bottles of Mouton is around [-] yuan."

Three bottles of 1000 were already very satisfying to Jiang Feng.Because before, he originally wanted [-] yuan a bottle and sold it, but now with Yan Jia's explanation, the price has directly increased by four times.What's not to like?
Yan Jia then said: "Jiang Feng's Mouton Chateau red wine costs more than 5000 yuan a bottle. I took a look just now and saw that these wines are all from 2008. 2008 is a good year for Mouton Chateau. Domestic wines The spot price is more than 8000 yuan. For Chinese people, there is another interesting thing about this wine in 2008.”

Li Yu asked anxiously: "What's interesting?"

"As I said before, Chateau Mouton has hired an artist to design its wine label every year since 1945. The label of the 2008 Chateau Mouton red wine was designed by the Chinese painter Xu Lei. Therefore, Chinese people will be more I like this wine. Jiang Feng, I think, you can bargain for 9000 later and ask the other party to repay the price. A bottle of 8000 will definitely be sold."

A bottle costs 8000 yuan, and 3 bottles is 24000 yuan. In addition, there is an 82 Lafite in the system wine cellar.Jiang Feng felt that his worth had soared from a few hundred yuan to over 5 yuan, and his living standard was well on the way to a well-off life.

"How is your discussion going?" Zhang Manxin also came over and asked in a low voice, "Boss Qin is still waiting."

"We've discussed it, we'll go out right now."

Jiang Feng and the others returned to the restaurant counter.

Jiang Feng said to Mr. Qin who had been waiting until now: "Mr. Qin, is 8500 a bottle acceptable?"

Jiang Feng's conscience is very flat. Even though Yan Jia asked him to bid 9000, he still chose 8500. If Mr. Qin really likes it, he won't pay too much. If he doesn't like it, he won't buy it no matter how high the price is. .

"This is your honest price."

Mr. Qin originally thought that when they went in to discuss, they wanted to ask for a sky-high price, but he didn't expect that they only offered an average price for domestic spot goods.

The key is that he likes the painter Xu Lei very much. He has always wanted to put the 2008 Mouton wine in his cellar: "Well, let me also express my sincerity. For 3 yuan, these three bottles of 3 wine Mouton belongs to me. But if you have good wine in the future, please let me know first, do you think that’s okay?”

What's wrong with this?I have wine and you want to buy it.I make money, you drink, everyone is happy.

"Deal." Jiang Feng said simply.

With a sound of "ding", 3 yuan was instantly transferred to Jiang Feng's WeChat wallet.

Li Yu's eyes turned green. When did money become so easy to earn?

He had previously warned Jiang Feng not to go to the closed Hongfeng Winery, saying that there was nothing there!But what happened?Not only did Jiang Feng go, but he also got 3 bottles of Petit Lafite and 3 bottles of Mouton, earning 3 in one day!
Li Yu thought he could be the protagonist, but after a long time, he found that he was a supporting role. The only consolation was that he felt a little happy.

Jiang Feng, who received the transfer money, suddenly heard another "bang" in his mind, and the system prompted:

"The novice stage task has been completed.

The host can start the junior sommelier stage task,
Is it on? "

Looking at these lines of words in his mind, Jiang Feng hesitated.

After "novice", there is "junior sommelier", so what is after "junior sommelier"?
he asked:
"System, where will you take me in the end?"

The system replies: "In the distance."

Jiang Feng: "Then what should I do next?"

The system replied: "Wolfberry."

Wolfberry?Just be content!There are not only poems and distant places in life, but also the wolfberries in front of you.

Your system is so down-to-earth!

The system prompts: "The host can choose to start the task of the junior bartender stage,
Is it on?
If it is not enabled, it will be deemed as giving up and the system will automatically uninstall it. "
