Xu Ning usually visits the store every two days. These decorators are skilled in craftsmanship and can do all the subtle things very carefully. Xu Ning is very satisfied.

After watching the decoration, she raised her foot and walked out of the shop, ready to go to the company, and by the way, had a meal with her mother in the company at noon.

When he walked to the fountain in front of the company, a raindrop fell rustlingly. As 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 quickly ran into the company lobby, when the clothes were mostly wet.

Fortunately, in October, I have already put on my jacket.

During the recent period, the imperial capital has been raining a lot, and the next game is about to happen every other time.

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

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

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

"Mr Qin was anxious for the company's high-level meeting. It shouldn't be over yet." The front desk still knows things like this. At least someone comes to Mr. Qin and they know how to answer.

Xu Ning nodded, poured a cup of hot water from the drinking fountain next to him, walked to sit on the soft linen sofa in the hall, and turned to look at the rain scene outside the huge French glass window.

The pedestrians outside were in a hurry and were caught off guard by the rain, but fortunately, there are many shelters nearby. First of all, there are various beautifully decorated restaurants, and the large shopping mall and sheds on the square opposite. The top seat and so on, because there is no wind, 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. He doesn't know where he is now, and he doesn't know the specific task. The two have not talked on the phone since they went out.

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

About the beginning of December, the house will be handed over there. When Zhang Meng comes over to design her, and the other night she also saw the complete set of home custom-made for her by her mother. Xu Ning was very satisfied after seeing it, 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 spent, and it didn't matter whether to ask or not. Qin Xuejuan was her mother. She didn't need to be polite. Just remember the mother's kindness and that was enough.

Before, Xu Ning was thinking about going to the gold shop to get a wedding ring with Xie Zheng, but he said that the wedding ring had been made by a friend by a professional designer, so she could wait with peace of mind.

Xu Ning's heart is very warm. She knows that the price of exclusive customized wedding rings is naturally not cheap. It seems that in order to marry herself, Xie Zheng is really planning to bankrupt her family.

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 she could.

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

"Xu Ning?" The elevator door opened, and a capable-looking woman walked out of it. She saw Xu Ning who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, "Come to Mr. Qin?"

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

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

After entering the exclusive elevator, Xu Ning came to the president's office on the top floor.

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

She didn't bother, walked into the office alone, pulled out a magazine from the small bookshelf in the corner and looked slowly at it.

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

"Well, the decoration is very fast, and it will probably be over next month." Xu Ning flipped through the magazine in his hand, "I want to wait until it opens on the day off, so that everyone in our family can be there."

"You are the boss, you have the final say." Qin Xuejuan sorted out the documents in front of him. "Mom is going to take a trip to Hangzhou next month. The company has a good view of a piece of land over there."

Speaking of Hangzhou, Xu Ning suddenly looked up at her mother, "Did Brother Shen ask about tea in recent years?"

"Don't say, I call every year. I said that the tea tree was tossed before, and it was replanted in the past few years." Qin Xuejuan is completely indulgent, and other excuses are less credible, although this also makes Ms. Luo Xijun regretted it, but fortunately, the tea tree could be relieved, which was enough.

Xu Ning chuckled. Although this excuse was very distressing, it didn't mean it was bad.

Relying on tea at home has been a lot of income over the years, and with the passage of time, the quality of tea is getting better and better, and because of the rapid growth of prices, the price of tea is constantly rising.

The Shen family was in a tea business, and they followed the market to raise the price of tea from the Xu family.

After all, the Shen family are also kind, and they still can't do things that are so ignorant of their conscience.

The quality of Xu's tea is top-notch. If it is because of this small profit, they will fool others, they may not do business with them.

Although the Shen family is a tea-making family, the entire Huaxia tea-making family is definitely not the only one in the Shen family. This family can't change the family. The quality of their tea is good, and there is no need to ask you at all. Just get along with you so honestly. , If you still do those things that people don't look down on, the Shen family will be ashamed to die first.

After lunch with her mother at noon, Xu Ning went to the mall with a bag, bought something for her family, and then drove to Xu Rui's school to pick her up from school.

After all, the rain hasn't stopped, although it is not heavy, she can't let the two old people pick up the children from school.

Almost all school children knew this off-road vehicle, and they knew that they were here to pick up Xu Rui. At this time, Xu Ning would also take the children living near her home along with them, provided that the other party’s parents had already arrived at school. At the door, otherwise she would not pick up other people's children rashly.

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

Victor said that the red wine was already brewed.

Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard it, and 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. It will be a very lucrative business if she can tap the market." Qin Xuejuan face The smile on my face couldn't stop.

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

All the way to Ningrui Wine Estate, here 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 the two to the wine cellar.

Xu Ning came here for the first time. As soon as he stepped into the wine cellar, a rich aroma of wine lingers in the nose, the taste is very special, fruity and floral, not even just one, but Layer by 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 of them can be distinguished separately, and at the same time, they mixed together to produce a more fascinating flavor. "

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

"This taste will become stronger and stronger in the future. Even though the barrels have good wind shelter performance, the entire wine cellar is gradually saturated with this intoxicating fragrance." She excited and suppressed Qin Xuejuan's introduction, "I am tasting the wine. It's been thirty years, let alone. This is the first time I have smelled such a fascinating smell. This smell is just like first love, which is unforgettable forever."

Qin Xuejuan smiled and said, "Has Mrs. Victor tasted it?"

"Not yet, I want to wait for Ms. Qin to taste it together." Victor said with a smile: "This wine has a good drinking period after bottling, and if it is stored well, the drinking period can reach at least fifty years. time."

"Then let's taste it together." Qin Xuejuan looked at the wines in the wine cellar that had been sealed after trademark registration, and was eager to try it. It was such a taste, and it was really tempting. People can't wait to taste the taste of this wine right away to relieve the wine bugs in their stomachs.

Victor took out two bottles of wine from the wine rack, "Shall we taste dry white and dry red together?"

"Of course it can." Qin Xuejuan looked at the Victor who seemed to be a gluttonous child in front of him with joy.

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

Use a corkscrew to remove the cork from the wine bottle, and with a sound of "pop", the cork is pulled out.

Xu Ning had no feelings, but Victor and his wife were intoxicated.

Well, Xu Ning couldn't understand this reaction because of the sound of the cork.

She has never drunk red wine.

Pour some of the wine glasses in front of you one by one, because there are people on the 20th and 30th, this bottle of wine can be regarded as straight to the bottom.

Everyone sat on their chairs, raised their wine glasses and placed them under the wings of their noses and smelled them gently. Xu Ning also learned something, and actually asked her a wonderful smell that made her drunk.

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 deep, but in the slight shaking, it seems that a faint golden color can be seen looming in it, and the aroma of the wine is more rich and mellow.

For Xu Ning's senses, she is now in a mysterious garden with no boundaries. The fragrance is everywhere, but the layers are distinct. This is an indescribable feast of taste.

Then, when Xu Ning saw everyone starting to taste it, she also took a sip.

The taste is okay, at least better than the red wine she drank in the hotel where she worked in the previous life, but the taste still feels obedient, it's hard to say.

But the Victors were stunned after tasting them. This elegant to the extreme scent seems to be clearly felt when it is drawn into the stomach from the mouth. After a long time, it seems that there is a faint scent brewing in the mouth and it lasts for a long time. , And the tannins are delicate and gentle to the point of surprise.

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

When tasting the grapes, he had this hunch that the wine produced this time must be top-notch, and now this top-notch cannot be positioned for this wine, which is really fascinating.

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

After tasting more than 30 years of wine, she has never been so shocked by a wine. It feels as if the whole person has returned to the teenage years after a sip, like a dream.

After Xu Ning finished drinking the red wine in the glass, she quietly looked at the people in front of her. Anyway, she was not going to drink dry white anymore. Sure enough, she could only drink drinks, yogurt was also good, she would lick the bottle cap.

Of course, if you drink it, you can, but for Xu Ning, red wine is really dispensable, not like those fans who chase red wine. Anyway, Xu Ning can't understand that kind of feeling.

After that, it was dry white, which also made the opposite couple very memorable.

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

"Agree!" Victor nodded very satisfied. "Wait for a call to the International Wine Association and ask them to come over for a tasting. By then, this batch of red wines will be sold at a perfect price. Of course, those tasters Also be invited, and their reviews can drive the reputation of a winery."

Qin Xuejuan has no objection to this, nodded and agreed, and the wine tasting will be naturally set up in the wine estate. The decoration here is already very luxurious and exquisite. Then someone will send some fresh grapes to taste. Of course, the chef There is it here, so I don't need Qin Xuejuan to worry about preparing.

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

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

Mrs. Victor is well-known in the circle of tasters. Although she is not the top, she definitely ranks in the top ten. Since she says it is delicious, it must be absolutely not bad, but just how good it is. They need to sit together and taste the decision.

Xu Ning thought, she would have to go over and learn from the big guys at that time, not to delve into this business, but this winery is under her name from beginning to end, if the owner of the winery does not even know how to red wine Product, it would be a failure to speak out.

So in the next time, Xu Ning followed Mrs. Victor, humbly asking for advice, while immersing himself in research.

Although the wine tasting will be held in half a month, Xu Ning must not be able to learn much. It may be better to learn a little bit than one question and three questions.

"Ning, the profession of sommelier is very important. Whether a wine can be successfully brewed, sommelier also occupies a dominant position. The Victor family wants to inherit the family business, or they will be able to make wine while tasting fine wines. Either you need to marry the wife of a wine taster. Victor and I grew up together since we were young. It was because of a good relationship that I embarked on the journey of a wine taster."

Xu Ning looked at Mrs. Victor, and her eyes showed nostalgia and tenderness. Her career as a sommelier is not simply a combination of her husband, and she must also like the wine culture of wine very much.

"The pricing of a wine is often inseparable from the taster. Nowadays, wine is becoming more and more popular. After their evaluation, our wine will easily enter the international market." Mrs. Victor looked at him gently. Xu Ning, "This year we only brewed a thousand cases, including the remaining alone, about 15,000 bottles. As long as two or three of them give high evaluations, the sales of these wines will be To open the entire international market in an instant, red wine is probably the fastest way to open the global market."

Xu Ningjing listened to her quietly, and at the same time wrote 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 view.

Want to become a taster, but it is useless to rely on cleverness, but also has talent and time accumulation.

This year’s newly brewed wine is still matured in the wine cellar, and it takes about three to four years. As the time of the grapes in the space is longer, the grapes must be more exquisite, and the brewed ones should be better. It's getting better and better.

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

Ten days later, the Imperial Capital International Airport welcomed some foreigners. Of course, this is not uncommon. After all, there are a lot of foreigners coming to and from Imperial Capital International Airport every day.

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

One of the foreign men who looked very mature was Bernard, the number one wine tasting master in the world. He heard Mrs. Victor say that there are wonderful wines here. Mr. Bernard, who was busy at work, immediately postponed all his work. I took ten days of free time to come and take a walk.

He and Mrs. Victor are about the same age. The two often meet at major international wine parties and serve as wine critics. They are really familiar with each other.

Mrs. Victor has very high requirements for wine. She can be said to be a wonderful wine. Its quality must be rare. As a leader in this industry, Bernard must spare no effort to come here, otherwise he is afraid. Can't eat and sleep well.

For him, wine is his love, and 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. The Ningrui Wine Estate suddenly became lively.

Many wine tasters who arrive here want to see the vineyards for the first time. Even if the grapes are beginning to wither this season, they can still see the quality of the grapes from the vines.

But when they learned that the grapes weren't here, they suddenly felt a little puzzled. This wave of operations was not right.
