The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

Chapter 179: [The smell of alcohol hits people]

Xu Ning usually goes to the store every two days to have a look. These decoration workers are all highly skilled and can do small things very carefully. Xu Ning is very satisfied.

After seeing the decoration, she stepped out of the shop, ready to go to the company, and eat with her mother at the company at noon.

Walking to the fountain in front of the company, a raindrop fell down. The moment Xu Ning raised his head, the sun quickly disappeared, and a heavy rain poured down.

She raised her hand to cover her forehead, stepped on her white shoes and ran into the company lobby, her clothes were already half wet.

Fortunately, it is October, and I have already put on my coat.

During the recent period, there has been a lot of rain in the imperial capital, and the next one will happen every now and then.

The receptionist did not stop Xu Ning, but greeted her with a smile, and took out a towel from the cabinet under the reception and handed it to her.

"Miss Xu, the towel is new, please wipe it."

Xu Ning stepped forward to take it over and thanked the other party, "Is my mother busy now?"

"Boss Qin was in a hurry to hold a meeting with the company's top executives just now, and it should not be over yet." The front desk still knows about this kind of thing, at least someone came to Boss Qin, and they knew how to answer.

Xu Ning nodded, poured a cup of hot water from the water dispenser next to him, walked to the soft linen sofa in the hall and sat down, turning his head to look at the rain scene outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Pedestrians outside were in a hurry and were caught off guard by the rain, but fortunately, there were many places to shelter from the rain nearby. First of all, there were various beautifully decorated restaurants, as well as the large shopping mall opposite and the square with sheds. Seats on the roof, etc., because there is no wind, and there is no need to be afraid of being swept by the wind and rain outside.

Xie Zheng has been away for almost twenty days, and he doesn't know where he is now, nor what specific task he is on. The two of them haven't talked on the phone since they left.

Xu Ning felt that Xie Zheng couldn't find a phone number, otherwise he would definitely call her.

The house will be handed over at the beginning of December. Let Zhang Meng come over and design it for her. A few nights ago, she also saw the complete set of furniture that her mother customized for her. After seeing it, Xu Ning was very satisfied, although she liked it. Simple style, but this European style is also very beautiful, especially the big bed, which is very elegant at first glance.

Xu Ning didn't ask how much it cost, and it doesn't matter whether she asks or not. Qin Xuejuan is her mother, and she doesn't need to be polite, as long as she remembers her mother's goodness, that's enough.

Before, Xu Ning wanted to go to the gold shop with Xie Zheng to order a wedding ring, but he said that the wedding ring had already been made by a friend to a special designer, so she could just wait with peace of mind.

Xu Ning was very warm in her heart. She knew that the price of an exclusive custom-made wedding ring was naturally not cheap. It seemed that in order to marry her, Xie Zheng was really planning to go bankrupt.

In fact, Xie Zheng also knew that Xu Ning didn't care about these things before marriage, but he always wanted to give her everything he could.

My daughter-in-law doesn't know that she is in pain, who is she going to hurt, and who is she going to hurt?

"Xu Ning?" The elevator door opened, and a capable-looking woman came out, and saw Xu Ning who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, "Come to see President Qin?"

"Manager Wang, have you finished the meeting?" The other party was Wang Liang, the HR manager recruited two years ago.

"It's over, you go up." After Wang Liang finished speaking, she walked to the door of the hall, held up her umbrella and walked out.

After Xu Ning entered the exclusive elevator, he came to the CEO's office on the top floor.

Qin Xuejuan was talking with Bai Lang in the lobby on the top floor, when she saw Xu Ning coming over, she smiled and lowered her head to continue her work.

She didn't bother, walked into the office alone, took out a magazine from the small bookshelf in the corner, and slowly flipped through it.

Qin Xuejuan walked in ten minutes later, "Go to the store to see?"

"Well, the decoration is going on very fast, and it will probably be finished next month." Xu Ning flipped through the magazine in his hand, "I want to wait until it's a day off, so that all of our family members can be there."

"You are the boss, you have the final say." Qin Xuejuan sorted out the documents in front of her, "Mom is planning to go to Hangzhou next month, and the company has a good idea of ​​a piece of land there."

Speaking of Hangcheng, Xu Ning suddenly looked up at his mother, "Did Brother Shen not ask about tea in recent years?"

"Not to mention, I call every year. I said that the tea tree was tossed before, and it was replanted in the past few years." Qin Xuejuan looked completely indulgent, and other excuses were less credible, although this also made her Ms. Luo Xijun was very sorry, but fortunately, the tea tree could recover, and that was enough.

Xu Ning grinned. Although this excuse was quite distressing, it didn't mean that he couldn't grow up well.

In recent years, the family has earned a lot of income from tea, and as time goes by, the quality of tea is getting better and better, and because of the crazy price increase, the price of tea is constantly rising.

The Shen family is in the tea business, and they also followed the market conditions to increase the price of Xu's tea.

After all, the Shen family is also a kind person, and they still can't do such unconscionable things.

The quality of the Xu family's tea is top notch. If they are fooling people behind their backs because of this small profit, they might stop doing business with their family.

Although the Shen family is a tea-making family, the Shen family is definitely not the only one who can make tea in the whole of China. This family can't be replaced. The quality of their tea is good, so there is no need to beg you at all, just get along with each other sincerely. Well, if they still do those despicable actions, the Shen family will be ashamed to death.

After having lunch with her mother at noon, Xu Ning took her bag and went to the shopping mall, bought some things for the family, and then drove to Xu Rui's school to pick her up after school.

After all, the rain hadn't stopped, even though it wasn't heavy, she couldn't let the two old people pick up their children from school.

Almost all the children in the school know this off-road vehicle. When they see it, they know that it is here to pick up Xu Rui. At this time, Xu Ning will also bring back the child who lives near his home, provided that the other party's parents have arrived at the school. The door, otherwise she would not rush to pick up other people's children.

On the day when the renovation was halfway through, Xu Ning received a call from his mother at home, asking her to drive to the company to pick her up, and the two went to the manor together.

Victor said the red wine was ready.

Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard that, he drove straight to the company, and drove Qin Xuejuan to the winery.

"After tasting the wine, our hotel will hold a wine tasting conference. Mrs. Victor will personally call and invite wine tasters from all over the world. If she can hit the market, it will be a very profitable business." Qin Xuejuan said with a face. Can't stop smiling.

It has been more than three years, and the wine is finally brewed, and she is also anxiously waiting.

All the way to Ningrui Wine Manor, this place is very lively at this time.

After the mother and daughter got out of the car, Victor and his wife were already waiting here. Seeing them coming, they hurriedly led them to the wine cellar.

It was the first time for Xu Ning to come here. As soon as he stepped into the wine cellar, a rich wine scent lingered in his nostrils. Layer upon layer, each layer of taste is a supreme enjoyment.

"This taste is very special." Qin Xuejuan said after a moment of silence: "It seems that there are many flavors in the middle, but each flavor can be distinguished individually, and at the same time mixed together to produce a more fascinating flavor. "

Mrs. Victor's brows and eyes stretched as if they were about to bloom, and her silver-gray pupils showed a kind of admiration for rare treasures.

"This smell became more and more intense afterward. Even though the wine barrels are very good at sheltering from the wind, the whole wine cellar is gradually soaked with this intoxicating fragrance." She introduced to Qin Xuejuan excitedly and depressingly, "I taste wine It has been thirty years at least, and this is the first time I have smelled such a fascinating smell, this smell is like first love, and it will be unforgettable forever."

Qin Xuejuan smiled and said, "Have you tried Mrs. Victor?"

"Not yet, I want to wait for Ms. Qin to come and taste it." Victor said with a smile: "The drinking period of this wine can be reached after bottling, and if it is well preserved, the drinking period can reach at least 50 years time."

"Then let's taste it together." Qin Xuejuan looked at the bottles of wine that had been registered and sealed in the wine cellar, and she was eager to try it. The taste is really very attractive. People can't wait to taste the taste of this fine wine immediately to relieve the wine bug in their stomachs.

Victor took out two bottles of wine from the wine rack, "Let's taste dry white and dry red together?"

"Of course." Qin Xuejuan looked at Victor in front of her, who looked like a child who was greedy for sugar in an instant.

Victor and his wife, the artist, held a bottle of wine carefully, and the four of them left the wine cellar, calling everyone in the winery to come and taste the wine they made for the first time.

Use a corkscrew to remove the cork on the wine bottle, and with a bang, the cork is pulled out.

Xu Ning didn't feel much, but Victor and his wife were intoxicated.

Well, Xu Ning couldn't understand that he would have such a reaction because of the cork's voice.

She never drank red wine.

Pour some of the wine glasses in front of you one by one, because there are twenty or thirty people, this bottle of wine can be regarded as the bottom of the bottle.

Everyone sat on their chairs, raised their wine glasses and put them under their noses to smell gently. Xu Ning followed suit and actually asked for a wonderful smell that made her smoky and intoxicated.

Xu Ning is the most layman here, not to mention the people who came with Victor and his wife, even the employees who have worked in the winery for several years are better than her.

The color of the red wine is not too dark, but when it is shaken slightly, it seems that a faint golden color can be seen looming in it, and the aroma of the wine becomes more rich and mellow.

To Xu Ning's senses, she seems to be in a boundless mysterious garden at this moment, with aromas everywhere, but with distinct layers, this is an indescribable taste feast.

Then, when Xu Ning saw that everyone started to taste, she also took a sip.

The taste is not bad, at least better than the red wine she drank in the hotel where she worked in her previous life, but the taste is still obedient, I can't describe it.

But Victor and his wife were stunned after tasting it. This extremely elegant aroma seems to be clearly felt when it is drawn from the mouth to the stomach. , and the tannins are even more delicate and soft to the point of astonishment.

Victor did not expect that this red wine was so stunning in appearance, with a shockingly clear body, and such a long life cycle, and its taste was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

When he first tasted the grapes, he had this premonition that the wine produced this time must be top-notch, but now this top-notch wine cannot be positioned for this wine, which is really fascinating.

Mrs. Victor, as a professional wine taster, has more feelings than her husband.

After tasting more than 30 years of wine, she has never been so shocked by a wine. She feels as if she has returned to her girlhood after taking a sip, like a dream.

Xu Ning finished drinking the red wine in the glass, and looked at the person in front of him quietly, anyway, she was not going to drink dry white wine, as expected, she could only drink soft drinks, yogurt was fine, she would lick the bottle cap.

Of course, it's fine if you drink it, but for Xu Ning, red wine is really dispensable, not like those fans who follow red wine, anyway Xu Ning can't understand that kind of emotion.

After that, it was dry white, which also made the opposite couple very fond of aftertaste.

At the end of the wine tasting, Mrs. Victor said, "It's a superb product."

"Agreed!" Victor nodded very satisfied, "Call the International Wine Association and ask them to come over and taste it. By then, this batch of red wine will be sold at a perfect price. Of course, those sommeliers Invite them too, their reviews can boost the reputation of a winery."

Qin Xuejuan has no objection to this point, so she nodded and agreed, and the wine tasting will naturally be held in the wine estate. There are here, so Qin Xuejuan doesn't need to worry about preparations.

That is, within two days, Mrs. Victor called the well-known wine tasters she knew one after another, asking them to come and taste the fine wine that Victor had just brewed.

When those people heard that they could taste fine wine, they agreed without hesitation.

Mrs. Victor is very well-known in the circle of sommeliers. Although she is not considered top-notch, she can definitely be ranked in the top ten. They need to sit together to taste and decide.

Xu Ning thought, when the time comes, she will have to go and learn from those big bosses, not because she wants to delve into this industry, but this winery is under her name from the beginning to the end, if she is the owner of the winery, she can't even know red wine It would be a failure to say it out.

Therefore, in the following time, Xu Ning followed Mrs. Victor, humbly asking for advice, while immersing himself in the study.

Although the wine tasting will be held half a month later, Xu Ning will definitely not learn much. Maybe it is better to learn a little bit than to ask three questions.

"Ning, the profession of wine taster is very important. Whether a wine can be successfully brewed or not, wine tasters also occupy a dominant position. If the Victor family wants to inherit the family business, they must either be able to brew wine and taste good wine at the same time. Or you need to marry a sommelier's wife, Victor and I grew up together, and I took the road of sommelier because of our good relationship."

Xu Ning looked at Mrs. Victor, her eyes showed a kind of nostalgia and tenderness. Her career as a wine taster is not just for the sake of marrying her husband. She must also like the wine culture very much.

"The pricing of a wine is often closely related to the sommelier. Nowadays, wine is getting more and more popular. After their tasting, our wine will easily enter the international market." Mrs. Victor looked gently Xu Ning, "This year we only produced 1,000 cases. Counting the ones left alone, there are about 15,000 bottles. As long as two or three of them give a high evaluation, the sales of these wines will increase." Opening up the entire international market in an instant, red wine is probably the fastest way to open up the global market.”

Xu Jing listened to her words quietly, and wrote them down carefully.

She is willing to learn, and Mrs. Victor will naturally be happy to teach. After all, Xu Ning's ability to accept is very good in Mrs. Victor's opinion.

If you want to become a wine taster, it is useless to rely on intelligence, you need talent and time accumulation.

The newly brewed wine this year is still maturing in the wine cellar, and it will take about three or four years. The longer the grapes are in the space, the more exquisite the grapes will be. It's getting better and better.

She suddenly really looked forward to the evaluation of those international wine tasting masters, presumably it should be very high.

Ten days later, the Imperial Capital International Airport welcomed some foreigners one after another. Of course, this is not unusual, after all, there are a lot of foreigners traveling to and from the Imperial Capital International Airport every day.

But this group is the internationally renowned wine tasters they are waiting for.

One of the foreign men who looked very mature was Bernard, the world's number one sommelier. Hearing that Mrs. Victor said that there was wonderful wine here, Mr. Bernard, who was already busy with work, immediately postponed all his work. I took out ten days of free time to come here for a walk.

He is about the same age as Mrs. Victor, and they often meet at major international wine parties as wine critics, so they are really familiar with each other.

Mrs. Victor has very high requirements for wine. She can say that it is a wonderful wine, and its quality must be rare. As a leader in this industry, Bernard must spare no effort, otherwise he may Can't eat or sleep well.

For him, wine is his love, which he cannot give up in this life.

This time Mrs. Victor invited more than a dozen friends, and they arrived one after another two days before the wine tasting, and Ningrui Winery suddenly became lively.

Many wine tasters who arrive here want to see the vineyards as soon as possible. Even if the grapes have started to wither in this season, they can still see the quality of the grapes from the vines.

But when they learned that Putao was not here, they felt a little puzzled. This operation was not right.
