There was no wine critic invited to this meeting. None of the people present were professional wine tasters, but their first action was unified when they picked up the glass. They first sniffed it.

Zhou Shijie was no exception. He directly put the wine glass close to him and sniffed it first. Then, he squinted his eyes.

Then, he slowly shook the entire glass. The wine that was eighty percent full immediately rippled. Of course, the entire set of movements was done very carefully, as he was afraid that even a little bit of it would spill out, and it would be a heartache.

“It’s just as the rumors say. It’s a green wine. It’s worthy of the legendary monkey wine.” Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion while looking at the rippling liquor.

Most white wines were colorless and transparent, and most of them were fruit wines, such as mulberry wine. However, monkey wine was known as the hundred fruit wine, which meant that there were many kinds of fruits inside. It was hard to imagine how it was brewed just by looking at the clear green wine.

Feeling that his saliva was about to drip out, Zhou Shijie hurriedly moved closer to his mouth and took a small sip. Ordinary wine would either be spicy or rich, but the monkey wine was different. The first sip was soft and smooth. It didn’t taste like wine. Instead, it had the sweet and sour taste of fruits mixed with a little taste of wine. If one were to taste it carefully, one would discover that it was strong. Ordinary fruit wine definitely didn’t have such a strong taste.

This was the reason why the monkey wine was different from other fruit wine. It not only satisfied the smooth characteristic of fruit wine, but also had the stimulation of strong wine.

As a chef, Zhou Shijie’s tongue was still very sensitive despite his old age. When he tasted it on purpose, he felt the fresh sweetness of pears, the sourness and sweetness of apples, the pure sweetness of lychees, and so on.

They were all concentrated in the small wine glass, and each sip was all-encompassing and integrated into one, extremely harmonious.

“The taste is completely different from what I imagined. I haven’t had such good wine in many years.” Zhu Dakang had an intoxicated expression.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with the little devil wine. Of course, even so, his drinking action was still as careful as ever. He didn’t drink it in big mouthfuls, but rather cherished it very much, tasting it bit by bit, afraid that if he drank too much, it would be gone in a moment.

“Indeed, I’ve always thought that fruit wine can’t be considered wine and isn’t strong, but the current monkey wine subverted my senses.” Master Wan brew also liked this taste.

“Head chef Yuan is cooking. I knew it was …” Ding Yuanshan could not think of a suitable description.

It had to be a Thunderbolt. This heaven-collapsing earth-sinking purple-gold hammer, dog head to save life.

“It’s not easy to be proficient in one thing, but there really are people who are good at everything. ” Mao Ming, the friend of Mr. MA, sighed with emotion.

“This kid is not bad. He still needs to work harder.” Although Mr. MA tried hard to suppress the curve of the corner of his mouth, he still revealed a little bit.

Obviously, he was very happy about the monkey wine and Yuan Zhou’s current achievements. He regarded Yuan Zhou as the inheritor and junior of his craftsmanship. Even if Yuan Zhou’s current culinary skills were already top-notch, it wasn’t a bad thing for him to be able to stir up trouble in other fields.

There were thirty to forty people standing together. Other than the sound of drinking, there were only low sighs. Other than that, there was no other sound. It was too quiet.

“How is it, uncle Zhou? is the wine okay?” Yuan Zhou asked when he saw Zhou Shijie was almost done drinking.

“Little Yuan, don’t say anything. Let me finish the last mouthful first.” Zhou Shijie said.

Zhou Shijie carefully turned the cup upside down and put it to his mouth. After pouring the last drop of wine into his mouth, he smacked his lips and shook the cup a few times. He only put it down after he was sure that there was no wine in it.

“There’s no need for any proof, this is monkey wine, even though I’ve never drunk it. By the way, how much wine did you pour just now, and how much is left?” Zhou Shijie subconsciously lowered his voice and asked at the end.

This was related to how much monkey wine he could bring home. This was a very important question, and he had to figure it out.

“There are a total of thirty-five people present. Including uncle Zhou, there are thirty-six people in total. Each person has two taels. In total, we have consumed seven catties and two taels of wine. There are two catties and eight taels left.” After Yuan Zhou glanced around, he had an idea in his heart.

“Why are there so many people? If I had known earlier, I would have limited the number of people who have nothing better to do and want to drink all day. ” Zhou Shijie said.

It was simply too much for a group of people to drink so much of such a good wine.

Of course, this was Zhou Shijie’s prejudice. All the chefs at the scene were cherishing the monkey’s wine and drinking it slowly. Not to mention others, even Zhou Shijie’s friend, Zhu Dakang, definitely knew more about wine.

However, knowing it was one thing, but watching such a high-quality wine disappear so easily made him feel a heartache.

Of course, despite his complaints, Zhou Shijie didn’t forget that today was the wine tasting conference held for Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he tidied his clothes and stood on the rostrum.

“Everyone has already tasted the monkey wine just now, so you should have an idea of the situation. Next, we’ll enter the appraisal segment.” Zhou Shijie went straight to the point.

When his voice fell, the first one to speak was still Zhu Dakang.

“Combining all the descriptions of the monkey wine I’ve read in the books, although I’ve never really drunk it, I feel that it’s definitely the most authentic.” Zhu Dakang said with a serious expression.

The next person to speak up was president Wan’s brew beside him. Everyone spoke one after another and agreed with the authenticity of the monkey wine.

Of course, in the end, someone couldn’t help but ask if there was any more wine. Of course, Zhou Shijie directly refused. His reason was quite sufficient.”Such a precious wine is not cabbage. How can there be a lot? head chef Yuan’s small pub has monkey wine. Take care of little Yuan’s business.” Finally, he managed to divert everyone’s attention.

This was something that Zhou Shijie had confirmed with Yuan Zhou before. Therefore, Zhou Shijie didn’t feel any pressure when he said that. However, what he was thinking in his heart was,”finally, I managed to keep the remaining 1.5 kilograms. It really wasn’t easy.”

Therefore, in the following time, everyone gathered around Yuan Zhou and inquired about the pub. The group of regular customers in the pub didn’t know that there was actually a group of people coming to fight with them for the limited quota of the pub.

There were already too many monks and too little gruel. There were too many wolves and too little meat. Now, a new group of people had actually rushed in. The group of people led by Chen Wei and old Lu would probably cry.

Just when Yuan Zhou was dealing with all kinds of strange questions from different people, the system came out to join in the fun.

“Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission. Would you like to receive the reward?” The system displayed.

Yuan Zhou paused for a while. He had completed quite a number of hidden missions, such as “become well-known throughout the city” and “develop the ultimate taste of dishes on his own” at the very beginning. He wondered what it was this time.

“We’ll talk when I’m free. ” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart.

After that, they continued to chat with the people who squeezed in. Everyone tacitly controlled the topic to be within the scope of the monkey wine, but no one asked about the secret recipe or brewing method. They were all mature adults, and no matter how curious they were, they couldn’t ask such a question.

In such an atmosphere, the tasting conference successfully came to an end. It could be expected that the monkey wine would be famous in the country tomorrow.
