C48 The Soul of Wine

But there's one thing Mao Yunyun has to do before he leaves the race.

The bottle in her hand was one of the works that her father was most proud of. It combined the true charm of the Taibai Baijiu into one. It was even more precious than the bottle of accompanying wine that she had before.

She knocked on the door. When Jason saw that it was MaoYunyun, a trace of awkwardness flashed across his face.

The unhappiness between the two was still vivid in his mind. In the semifinals, Jason had forcefully lowered the Great White Wine's score in order to save his face.

"What are you doing here?"

Mao Yunyun had a calm smile on her face as she handed the Great White Wine over to him. "I'm treating you to a drink. "

Although he did not know why she was doing this, Jason still invited Mao Yunyun into the room out of courtesy.

"Please take a seat. "

Mao Yunyun placed the Great White Wine on the table and looked at Jason's wine cabinet. Sure enough, it was filled with fruit wine. It seemed that his preference was very obvious.

"I heard that you came from Shandong and only migrated to the United States after that?"

Jason nodded. "Yes, I grew up abroad. You came today not only to buy me drinks, right?"

There was a look of understanding on his face. Before the finals started, many managers of the winery had looked for him in private. He was certain that Mao Yunyun was trying to please him and felt a little disdainful.

Mao Yunyun pointed at the Great White Wine on the table and said with a smile, "You think too much. Of course I'm here to treat you to a drink. "

She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "The Shandong Fenjiu in your hometown is very famous. I was fortunate enough to go to Shandong with my father to try it once. There was an old man with the surname Bai. The fen wine he brewed was a local delicacy. Unfortunately, he is no longer out of the mountain now. "

She had a regretful expression on her face. She picked up two wine glasses from the table and poured the precious bottle of liquor into them.

Mao Yunyun handed the glasses to Jason. "Although the Great White Wine is not as strong as the Fen Wine, it has a better and longer texture. Want a try?"

Jason looked at the clear and transparent wine in front of him. The intoxicating fragrance of the wine lingered in the room. He instantly recalled the taste he had tasted in the semifinals.

He was silent for a moment, but he didn't take it. He poured himself a glass of white wine.

"Personally, I think the taste of the fruit wine is better suited to the public and can be recognized by the main market. "

He shook it lightly and took a sip elegantly, not giving any face to Mao Yunyun.

Mao Yunyun did not feel awkward either. Before she came to find Jason, she was already prepared to make things difficult for him.

She looked straight at Jason. She did not put down the wine glass in her hand. There was a stubborn determination in her eyes.

"It may not be the best for the public, right?"

Her voice was not loud, but every word clearly struck Jason's heart.

"I think that wine has a soul. As long as you put your heart into brewing it, it will be good wine. There is no distinction between good and bad. "

"Everyone has a different taste in wine, just like how you like fruit wine. I prefer traditional white wine. I've studied wine brewing since I was a child, and have come into contact with hundreds of different types of wine. The only thing I love is a type of Grand White Wine. Grand White Wine contains Mao Clan's persistence. The belief of the Mao Clan is a legacy left behind by the Old Ancestor. I will also do my best to bring it to greater heights. "

She smiled, her eyes bright.

"But at the same time, I also accept new things, learning and studying wholeheartedly. This is what a real wine maker should do, don't you think so?"

Jason was speechless when he heard that. After a while, he said dryly, "It's like this. "

Mao Yunyun's wine glass was still in front of him. This time, Jason had no reason to refuse.

He knew that it wasn't just a glass of wine in front of him, but the sincerity of a bartender towards wine brewing.

He reached out his hand and held the glass in his hand, his heart moved.

Mao Yunyun clinked glasses with him. "Charles. "

Then, she drained the glass in one gulp. Her actions were very straightforward.

When Jason tasted red wine in the past, he habitually took a small sip elegantly to savor the aftertaste.

However, white wine was particular about drinking a large mouthful to be satisfying. He also imitated Mao Yunyun's actions and raised his neck to drink an entire cup.

All kinds of flavors instantly filled his taste buds. The most intense taste was still the alluring wine fragrance. The aftertaste carried a trace of sweetness, making one salivate. After drinking a cup, one could not help but want to drink a second cup.

Jason's face was slightly red. His occupational habits almost made him say good wine, but he held it back.

"How is it? It tastes good, right? This bottle of wine is my father's work. My father's skill in brewing wine is far below mine. This bottle of wine that we have drunk has been stored in the cellar for more than 30 years. It is even older than my age!"

Mao Yunyun looked at the wine cup in her hand. It was as if she had seen her father busying himself in the cellar all those years ago. A trace of nostalgia flashed across her eyes.

Jason was a little surprised. Since it was such a precious wine, why was Mao Yunyun willing to give it to him to drink?

She filled Jason's wine glass once again. The two of them tasted the wine while Mao Yunyun introduced the wine brewing customs in various places to him.

"If I have the chance, I will bring you back to Shandong to taste the Bai family's fen wine. There should be a lot of good stuff in the old man's wine cellar. For someone like you who is used to drinking fruit wine, fen wine is definitely a novel experience. "

Jason looked at Mao Yunyun silently, as if he wanted to see some flaws on her face.

"If you only want to win in the finals, then you used the wrong method. Don't think that just because you said something to me and drank with me, I will change my determination. "

Mao Yunyun shook his head when he heard that. "I have never thought of winning the competition by relying on this. Taibai Baijiu has the ability to win the first place. What do I have to worry about?"

"Oh? So you admit that you're here to bribe me?"

"I just want to change your biased opinion of Baijiu. " Mao Yunyun shook the wine cup in her hand. The liquor is not all spicy and spicy, and it is not only good liquor. I believe that after tasting it too much, you will understand its charm. "

Jason was a little impatient. He could not guess what Mao Yunyun was really thinking, so he simply put the blanket on the table and said directly: "Just say it. Didn't you want to get first place in the International Wine Competition?"

What Mao Yunyun said next stunned Jason. He opened his mouth and did not say anything for a long time.

"No, it's the opposite. I want to withdraw from the competition. "

Withdraw?

Jason felt like he couldn't understand the little girl in front of him anymore.

He laughed lightly and said in a testing manner, "I have to admit that you have indeed changed my view on Baijiu. Maybe I will give you a high score in the competition. You want to withdraw now, are you teasing me? "

" I am very serious. "

" Why? "

Mao Yunyun had delicate facial features to begin with. The confidence on her face made her shine even more brilliantly.

"The liquor doesn't need to be proven by competitions. I will use my own method to let more people know about it. "

Her firm tone made Jason understand that Mao Yunyun was finally not lying. She really wanted to withdraw from the competition.

Giving up the supreme honor, this girl's courage made him admire her.

Jason respected her choice and raised the wine glass in his hand towards Mao Yunyun.

"If you really want to withdraw from the competition and sign the relevant documents, you just need to hand it over to the organizing committee on the day of the competition. "

Mao Yunyun didn't regret his decision this time. She only regretted not being able to fulfill her father's wish and obtain first place in the wine competition.

"No problem, please give me the withdrawal document. "
