Chapter 1358: The wine cellar full of meaning
Just when Yin ya sighed in her heart and then looked at those red wines and prepared to choose them according to her taste, Yuan Zhou spoke again.
As the expression on Yin ya’s face was too obvious, Yuan Zhou naturally understood it at a glance. He understood the disappointment on her face after he refused to recommend her.
When Yuan Zhou said that, Yin ya was staring at a bottle of dry red wine.
“Were you used to drinking dry red wine?” Yuan Zhou asked quite seriously.
Yin ya also answered habitually, “It’s alright, I drink a little sometimes. ”
“Are you used to the bitter taste of dry red wine?” Yuan Zhou continued to ask.
“I don’t really like it, but it’s okay.” Yin ya knitted her brows and said.
“The red wine here is divided into dry, half-sweet, and sweet types. Basically, it includes the taste of all the wine, and all of it mainly depends on your taste. Dry red wine is considered dry.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Oh, but actually, I don’t think I can tell the difference.” Yin ya raised her head and said with a little annoyance and uneasiness.
“In fact, our sensitivity to wine is inborn. Many wine tamers are born with a high sensitivity to wine. This research came from the PROP sensitivity test conducted by Pennsylvania State University’s Department of Food Science and Brook University. The experiment has been published, so it’s normal that we can’t taste it.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to say so many words at once.
“And the sensitivity of the PROP is determined by the TAS2R38 gene. Only about 25% of people have tasted the bitter taste of the PROP, and only 10% of them are men, so it’s normal.” Yuan Zhou said solemnly and earnestly.
Yin ya, however, just looked at Yuan Zhou who was talking non-stop without saying anything.
Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at Yin ya. When he found the vexation and uneasiness on her face weren’t so obvious, he swallowed the words about the second half of the experiment.
The second half of the experiment came to a conclusion, which was that the PROP only allowed one to taste bitterness, so it was not completely accurate. Many wine experts were not particularly sensitive to the taste of the PROP, but they were still very sensitive to the taste of wine.
Of course, judging from Yin ya’s current appearance, she didn’t need to know about the second half of the experiment.
“Shouldn’t girls be impressed by the Big Brother in science popularization?” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart. He peeked at Yin ya and found no expression of admiration on her face.
“Well, what kind of red wine do you think I should drink?” Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou and asked curiously.
Under Yin ya’s intense gaze, Yuan Zhou tilted his head uncomfortably and then continued,””White wine has a stronger fruity fragrance.”
While saying that, Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and signaled Yin ya to look at the area where the white wine was placed.
Although the White grapes were white, they looked lively and translucent in the bottle. They were very beautiful.
“This feels pretty good,” Yin ya nodded her head.
“If you like white wine, you can choose this one. The wine brewed from this has a refreshing taste, a strong aroma, a long aftertaste, and a variety of vitamins. It is rich in nutrition, and its taste is delicate and smooth. It has the effects of relaxing muscles, improving blood circulation, beautifying skin, and nourishing the lungs.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while seriously and then pointed to a bottle of white wine in a dark-colored bottle.
“Yes, yes. It feels very good.” Yin ya nodded her head continuously. However, it was obvious from her face that she still wanted to learn more about red wine.
“Actually, the bitter taste of the dry red wine that you don’t like is the tannins, and they are the anti-oxidation and anti-aging element.” Yuan Zhou glanced at Yin ya’s delicate and white face and then said.
“I see.” Yin ya revealed an expression of being taught, even though she actually already knew that.
That’s right. Although Yin ya didn’t know anything about red wine, she knew some simple knowledge. On one hand, this knowledge came from her work, and on the other hand, it came from the intensive study she had last night.
She had really been cramming and only went to bed at four in the morning. She had not even worked so hard in the third-year exams.
After all, she was going to drink at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant today. If she knew nothing, she was worried that she would leave a bad impression in Yuan Zhou’s heart. But now, it seemed that knowing nothing was actually a good thing.
This was the first time that Yin ya had talked to Yuan Zhou so much. When she saw Yuan Zhou explaining all this with a confident look and not the least bit impatient, she was very attractive.
“Yuan Zhou is really awesome. Even this kind of wine-making knowledge that is only related to culinary skills is like a family treasure to him.” Yin ya had a little admiration in her heart.
Although the things explained by Yuan Zhou just now could be found in books and on the internet with some effort, they felt like they had become his things when they came out of Yuan Zhou’s mouth.
This was a true learning, not just an ordinary understanding.
“Maybe I can try to translate the laws of baiconi.” Yin ya couldn’t help pondering.
Baikeni was a famous judge in the United States he wrote a book to help ordinary people understand the law, which could be said to be a classic among the science books.
As the Secretary of the president, Yin ya’s English was quite good. Therefore, she had been receiving some small orders for translation.
The business partners felt that Yin ya was very capable, so they invited her to translate the law of baikeni, but Yin ya had not agreed yet.
First, he felt that he was not good enough. After all, it was such a professional law Science book. Second, he felt that he did not have the time.
Now that she thought about it, no matter how busy she was, could she be busier than Yuan Zhou? As for the professional style, he could learn anything with any professional style, just like Yuan Zhou, who had started from nothing.
One didn’t need a reason to become a better person, but an opportunity was needed. It could be said that what Yuan Zhou did today was an opportunity for Yin ya.
“Half-dry white or peach red wine is sweeter. If you like, these few bottles taste good.” Yuan Zhou pointed out several wines with beautiful packaging again.
Yin ya came back to her senses and pointed at the peach red wine,”Indeed, all the colors look beautiful, especially this color.”
“Yes, this wine is quite refreshing.” Yuan Zhou said casually.
After a brief introduction, Yin ya started to walk around the shelves filled with bottles of wine, as if she was having a hard time making a decision.
Most girls had difficulty choosing, and Yin ya was no exception. Although some people said that it was because they were poor, they could choose whatever they wanted.
However, it was very difficult to do so in the current situation.
However, Yuan Zhou wasn’t in a hurry. He just watched Yin ya choose quietly.
Yuan Zhou had never lacked patience.
While Yin ya was choosing quietly, she turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou from time to time. When she looked at Yuan Zhou for the fifth time, he finally understood that she wanted him to make the decision for her.
“In fact, the grapes used to make red wine here are all Pinos, and Pinos were grown in Burgundian by the Gaul people before the Roman rule. Later, they were gradually grown in Arthas Germany, and even in the coldest places in the states of Oregon in Spain and the United States.” Yuan Zhou continued.
“So they’re all the same type of grapes? It’s amazing that you can make so much wine from a single breed. ” Yin ya praised him sincerely.
“It’s just that it’s a little troublesome to plant this type of grape, but it tastes good. The tannins in it are fine, like silk, and especially easy to melt, so you don’t have to worry. Even if this wine is aged, it won’t be very bitter.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
Yuan Zhou said it in a relaxed manner, but if the wine cellar was seen by foreigners who knew about wine, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
The title of a Master of Wine brewing would be hung above Yuan Zhou’s head. Of course, that was a story for later. Currently, there was only one customer in the wine cellar.
“In that case, just get me a bottle. I think everything you choose must be delicious.” Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou full of trust. However, when she saw Yuan Zhou looking at her, she realized that her words were too coquettish and hurriedly added,””Because this red wine is all yours, and you know a lot, so there’s definitely no problem.”
Yin ya twirled the loose hair beside her ear uneasily. When talking with the right person, every word and every action could make his heart beat faster.
Yuan Zhou didn’t let them down and directly went to choose the red wine. He stood there and thought for about a second before walking straight to a bottle of red wine.
“Today’s weather is good, and there’s sunshine. This wine is rich in fruit, full of the flavor of cranberry, pomegranate, and dark cherries. It also has a faint smell of animals and truffle in the mouth, as well as the fragrance of spices such as licorice. You should be able to accept it.”
“Hmm, then I’ll choose this bottle.” Yin ya nodded her head and said without any hesitation.
