The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 171 A Cluster of Famous Wines

"Distinguished guests, welcome to this wine tasting event. We have invited 37 wineries, all of which are well-known restaurants in Daliang." Fan Jiqing's clear voice echoed in the courtyard. "Today, we gather at Lianyuan to exchange ideas and appreciate fine wines through the language of wine. We hope you all have a wonderful time."

"Let's start with the Lotus Fragrance Wine from our Luo'an Restaurant to set the stage for this first drink!"

As Fan Ji finished speaking, a group of well-trained maids appeared and began pouring wine for the guests. The aroma of the wine, mixed with the delicate fragrance of lotus flowers, was invigorating.

Lin Yan picked up a glass of wine, took a gentle sniff, and the aroma of the wine wafted over, carrying a faint fragrance of lotus.

She took a sip, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "The lotus aroma in this wine is really pronounced, it's smooth on the palate and has a sweet aftertaste."

Quan Wenxue also picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and nodded in praise: "It's really good, and the alcohol isn't too strong. I don't even feel any burning sensation when I drink it."

Zhao Yuncheng said softly, "This is a special 'Lotus Fragrance Wine' made by Luo'an Restaurant. Fan Yizhou said that it is made from lotus flowers in the height of summer and brewed with lotus dew, so the aroma is very strong."

Lin Yan took a sip and said contentedly, "Drinking lotus wine by the lotus pond! Smelling the lotus fragrance and tasting the lotus fragrance, it's so satisfying!"

Lin Yu took a small sniff, then sipped it, his eyes shining.

Fu Bo smiled and shook his head: "You guys shouldn't drink too much. We still have a lot of wine to taste later, so don't get drunk."

Zhao Yuncheng sat to the side, his gaze fixed on Lin Yan. Seeing her enjoying her drink, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

He picked up a glass of wine, took a small sip, and felt the wine swirling on his tongue, carrying a faint lotus fragrance.

I can no longer tell whether the lotus fragrance is coming from my nasal cavity or my mouth.

The judges' panel at the very front.

Chen Fuzun said with a smile, "As expected of Luo'an Restaurant, this Lotus Fragrance Wine is truly delightful."

Prefect Xia nodded and said, "It's not just Thousand Days Intoxication; Luo'an Restaurant itself is a renowned establishment. No wine from Luo'an Restaurant is bad."

Quan Rongzhi laughed and said, "That's right, Luo'an Restaurant is famous all over the world, and we wineries all regard it as a role model."

Changsun Huai shook his head, completely intoxicated, "Master Fanli is a god, the wine at the Jade Pool Banquet is like lotus blossoms!"

Fan Li, a master chef at Luo'an Restaurant, was very familiar with this Lotus Fragrance Wine, and showed no expression.

Hearing Changsun Huai's words, he laughed and said, "I don't deserve it. This wine was not brewed by me, but by the young master."

"Oh? That brat from the Fan family?" Changsun Huai was somewhat surprised, then laughed and said, "It seems your Luo'an Restaurant still has a worthy successor! This old man will be able to drink some good wine again in the future, hahahaha!"

Seeing that the guests below were thoroughly enjoying themselves, Fan Ji nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since everyone has given such high praise to Lotus Fragrance Wine, we have made a good start. However, the main event of today is yet to come. Next, we would like to invite representatives from various wineries to showcase their carefully crafted wines."

Having said that, he slightly raised his hand in a gesture, and the servant struck the gong again.

Each distillery sent a representative to the front, each introducing the unique features of their wine. Some said that precious medicinal herbs were used in the brewing process, which had the effect of strengthening the body; others said that the wine was brewed in a special cellar environment, which gave it a unique and mellow flavor.

After each type of wine was introduced, the maids moved among the guests, pouring wine for everyone. Lin Yan was overwhelmed, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. As the number of wine glasses in front of her increased, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, but she still remembered to remind Lin Yu not to drink too much.

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her: "You should say that to yourself!"

Lin Yan watched as the amber-colored wine poured into the glass, creating tiny golden sparks. She glanced at the wine tag on the maid's sandalwood tray; the ink on the three characters "Snowy Spring Valley" was still wet, carrying with it the crisp scent of pine needles.

"It's said to be brewed with snow water." Zhao Yuncheng plucked a leaf from Lin Yan's hair, his black sleeve brushing against the jade hairpin in her hair, and casually said, "This wine is refreshing on the palate, but its aftereffects are like an avalanche. Take it easy."

Lin Yan didn't take it seriously. As long as the liquor wasn't distilled, she didn't believe it could have a high alcohol content. Lin Yan drank the liquor in her glass in one gulp. She didn't see Zhao Yuncheng raise his eyebrows with amusement and anticipation. The slightly sweet liquor slid down her throat, and before she could even taste it, it instantly turned into a scorching heat.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening, thinking to herself: Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated...

Lin Yu also stuck out his tongue from the spiciness: "Ha!"

"Heh." Zhao Yuncheng chuckled as expected, handing Lin Yan a cup of tea. His cold, jade-like eyes reflected the sunlight. "I told you it would have a strong aftereffect."

"Next, please welcome the fourth company, Yangcheng, Liulin Winery," Fan Ji announced loudly.

Fu Bo chuckled, "Hey! Isn't this the guy who begged for wine the other day?"

Lin Yan and the others looked up and saw that the arrogant young master who had a minor conflict with them at the restaurant that day was indeed standing in front of them.

"They brought Yuquan wine, nothing new," Quan Sinian said.

"Yuquan Wine..." Lin Yan had never drunk this before. She looked at the wine in the glass. It looked good and tasted very mellow.

"Not bad at all!" Lin Yan commented objectively. Although it can't compare to wines like Thousand Days' Intoxication or Snow Stream Spring, it's still considered a good wine.

Quan Sinian didn't take it to heart: "We're better."

"Hahaha, definitely."

Changsun Huaiding, who had drunk Yuquan wine before, showed no change in expression this time. However, he said to Fan Li, "Next time, don't just arrange the order randomly. Put the good wine last. Otherwise, after drinking the good wine, drinking this will really be a hardship for my palate."

Fan Li coughed twice but didn't say anything, since the people from Liulin Winery were right next to him.

The young master did hear it, and felt somewhat indignant, but he was also extremely ashamed. However, since the person was a judge, he couldn't offend him by speaking up, so he could only suppress his anger.

……

Upon reaching the sixteenth winery, Quan Sinian reminded Lin Yan, "Young Master Fan mentioned this winery."

Lin Yan looked up and saw that the person introducing the man in front of her was a young man who looked very honest and seemed a little nervous and at a loss.

However, their wine is no ordinary wine. Pingyang Defeng Restaurant holds the same status in Pingyang as Luo'an Restaurant does in Luocheng.

Lin Yan waited expectantly for the maid to pour the wine.

At this moment, the young man in front introduced, "This is our new, newly brewed product. The raw materials for this wine are a variety of grains, including sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn, in a balanced ratio, so the resulting wine has a harmonious blend of flavors!"

"Wow!" Lin Yan exclaimed after taking a sip.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Lin Yan: "...I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this wine is too good! I'm shocked."

Everyone:...

Quan Wenxue took another bite, grinned, and said, "What's wrong with you? Is it really that good? I can't taste the difference."

"Wuliangye! Isn't this Wuliangye?!" Lin Yan exclaimed inwardly.
