The five-year grand event of the entire Xishan Road finally ushered in the opening day, and the focus of Yunshan Mansion was all shifted to the Royal Wine Selection Conference set up in Xicheng in an instant.

The venue for the imperial wine selection was set in an open field in the west city. The local Ministry of Industry had sent people to set up the venue in advance. The venue was huge, surrounded by half-person-high wooden fences, forming an extremely large area. In a large field, around the wooden fence, there will be a guard soldier with a sword every ten steps.

Every distillery that participates in the royal wine selection will spend 20 taels of silver to buy a qualification in advance. If you have the qualification, you will receive a bamboo stick from the Ministry of Industry. This is the qualification sign for admission. Only those who hold a qualification sign for the representative winery are eligible to enter the venue within the wooden fence.

The bystanders, however, can only watch a grand event outside the wooden fence.

The people from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering were ingenious and came up with an idea. Any winery that could pay another 20 taels of silver could plant a flag next to the wooden fence next to the site, and the name of the winery could be written on the flag.

For a small wine shop, spending 20 taels of silver to plant a flag is too expensive and not worth it at all, but for a large wine shop, 20 taels of silver is simply a drop in the bucket. It was tantamount to publicity, so forty or fifty flags were planted around the wooden fence. There was no rain and wind on this day, and the flags fluttered in the wind, hunting and hunting, which was truly majestic.

According to the rules, Shen Jing, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, does not have to participate in the first knockout round, but is judged by ten wine masters. These ten people are carefully selected wine masters, and must have high morals The four characters come from all over Xishan Road.

Before the selection of the final four major wineries, all the selections in the knockout stage will be decided by these ten people.

At this moment, the top ten bartenders were already sitting in a row on big chairs. In front of the ten people was an extremely long wooden table covered with a large red cloth, showing a grand atmosphere.

During the selection process, people from the winery will come across the good wine brewed by their own winery, from the No.1 winemaker to the last winemaker, and the winemakers will evaluate the color, aroma, taste, etc. of the wine. several aspects.

After each sommelier has passed his own evaluation, he will show his brand.

The signs displayed are divided into nine levels: upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower, and the last brands given by the ten bartenders will be registered. , and wait until later to make a fair verdict based on the evaluation of ten bartenders.

Although some shady scenes are unavoidable, after all, everyone is watching, and the position of each wine shop in the wine world of Yunshan Prefecture is actually very clear to everyone in the real wine industry.

The competition among the restaurants present will not be supercilious, they will consider the reality, they just want to compete among the wineries of the same level, some unknown wineries in the Xishan Dao wine world suddenly pop up, or they are very famous If a restaurant is easily eliminated, it will arouse people's suspicion, so the government will not make random evaluations.

On the first day, they entered the knockout stage. This time, there were more than 140 winemakers participating in the imperial wine selection. Although the ten wine masters are all people with a lot of alcohol, it is impossible to judge all of them in two or three days.

Although there are a lot of people in the wine channel who come to watch, and they are surrounded by people, but the people in the wine channel who come to Yunshan Mansion are still aiming at the final finals. The first day's picture is fresh, and only six or seven of the ten stops Just stop.

Naturally, both He Shengquan and Miaocaotang sent people over, but the protagonists didn't leave the city at the beginning, neither Lin Lang nor Fang Zhenghao showed up, and He Shengquan sent Su Bo with a qualification visa.

In the first few days of selection, there was more than excitement but not enough excitement. The real concern was nothing more than those distillery owners who hoped to get a good ranking.

It wasn't until the sixth day that the atmosphere really became lively and exciting, because the top ten wineries will be selected on the sixth day. Lin Lang and Fang Zhenghao still didn't show up, but He Shengquan's Bamboo Sake and Xinzhou Fang's Chian However, Ye Hong entered the top ten as expected.

These two great wines are in people's minds, and it is only at the end that they can decide the outcome. It would be too weird if they were eliminated before the final.

After the top ten wines were selected on the sixth day, the owners of the wineries who were selected into the top ten had to celebrate in the city. Being able to enter the top ten also represented the future of the winery in the future.

Although Chu Huan has been on duty in Xingyuan during the day, when he returns to Su Mansion every night, he will learn about the progress of the current competition from Lin Lang. He has not returned to Su Manor that day, but he has learned about the top ten wine players from the people on the street. As soon as it came out of the furnace, Heshengquan's bamboo sake naturally entered it without any suspense.

When I returned to the Su Mansion when it was dark that day, I felt that the atmosphere in the Su Mansion was oppressive, the lights in the main hall were flickering, and when I walked to the door, I found that there were already several people sitting in the main hall.

Sitting in the main seat, Lin Lang looked extremely haggard, and her face looked very pale. The expression on that pale face made Chu Huan feel sad, but she also vaguely knew that something serious had happened.

Besides Lin Lang, Su Bo was also in the main hall, and there were two other people who were also Chu Huan's acquaintances.

The deadly silence in the main hall was extremely depressing. Chu Huan stood outside the door, but no one in the room noticed it. This atmosphere was not broken until Chu Huan walked in.

When Chu Huan entered the hall, Su Bo was the first to see him. He looked at Chu Huan, but he smiled wryly and shook his head. This made Chu Huan suspicious. Several people turned their heads. Seeing Chu Huan, Lin Lang seemed to want to stand up, but felt powerless and smiled sadly.

Fangzhu Liang and Han Yuan saw a man in armor at first glance, but they didn't recognize him for a while, and were taken aback. When they saw Chu Huan's face, Han Yuan held his hands together, but did not speak, while Fangzhu Liang lowered his head, and even Did not say hello.

Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "Uncle Han, why are you here?" Looking at Fangzhu Liang, although he hated him extremely, he also knew that Fangzhu Liang was Lin Lang's elder. For Lin Lang's sake, he still bowed his hands , smiled and said: "Master Liang Fang, don't come here without any harm!"

Fangzhu Liang looked up at Chu Huan, with an embarrassed expression, and laughed dryly, but that smile was uglier than crying, and his eyes were sparkling, he didn't dare to look at Chu Huan, and he didn't know if he was afraid that Chu Huan was wearing armor .

Lin Lang sighed weakly, and said, "Chu...Chu Huan, sit down too!"

Chu Huan sat down next to Han Yuan, then looked at Lin Lang, and said with a smile: "Da Dong, I heard on the way that He Shengquan's bamboo sake has entered the top ten. Tomorrow, I will rest for a day, and I will be able to choose it the day after tomorrow." The top four will go to the final." Seeing that Lin Lang's expression was very bad, he frowned, then scanned everyone in the field, and said with a frown, "Could something happen?"

Fangzhu Liang trembled, raised his lowered head slightly, and took a peek at Lin Lang, but soon lowered his head again, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and finally couldn't help saying: "Lin Lang, this time... My fault, you...no matter how you punish uncle, uncle...uncle will never blame you...!"

Lin Lang didn't even look at him, let alone pay attention to him, she just frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Chu Huan frowned and thought about something, and suddenly thought of something, approached Han Yuan, and asked in a low voice: "Han Bo, you are here this time, but... are you here to send the wine king?"

Chu Huan and Lin Lang had been to the county town a while ago, and they saw the secret room in the Jindi cellar. There were two altar wine kings hidden in the secret room, which could be said to be the biggest weapon for competing with Sheng Quan for the title of royal wine.

Now that the top ten have been selected, tomorrow's royal wine selection conference will be closed for a day, and the top four will be selected in the morning of the next day, and in the evening it will be the climax of this year's royal wine selection, which will be the final royal wine duel.

Han Yuan and Fangzhu Liang appeared together in the Su Mansion today. If there were no other accidents, it is likely that they sent the two treasured wine kings over to prepare for the final.

Hearing Chu Huan's question, Han Yuan looked even more embarrassed. He glanced at Fangzhu Liang and then at Linlang, but didn't say a word, but his expression quickly changed from embarrassment to seriousness.

Lin Lang finally sighed softly and said with a wry smile, "Chu Huan, our wine king...is gone!"

Chu Huan was startled, and frowned: "No more?" Instantly understood that the atmosphere in the main hall was so oppressive today, it seemed that there was really something wrong with Shengquan's biggest killer, the Wine King.

Fangzhu Liang couldn't sit still anymore at this moment. As an elder, he actually knelt down and said with snot and tears: "Lin Lang, it's useless to be uncle, I can't... I can't help you guard the wine king, you ...You slap uncle a few times to relieve your anger...!"

Lin Lang frowned, stood up and said, "Get up quickly, what's this like?" She motioned for Su Bo to help him up, and Su Bo and Han Yuan, who was beside him, went forward to help Fangzhu Liang up.

Fangzhu Liang looked very upset and annoyed: "Lin Lang, uncle didn't expect such a thing to happen, if I had known it earlier, my uncle wouldn't get out of the car no matter what...!"

Linlang took a look at Fangzhu Liang, didn't say much, and walked out the door. Seeing that Linlang's delicate body seemed to be shaking, Chu Huan hurriedly followed. Linlang walked into the yard, then stopped under a tree, stood There, it looked unusually fragile and helpless.

Chu Huan walked to her side and said softly: "Since the matter has already happened, don't think too much about it, let's find another way."

Lin Lang turned to look at Chu Huan, her eyes were red, and her voice was weak: "I wanted to rely on the wine king to make a final fight, but...but God bullied my Su family so much that he didn't even give me this last chance... Chu Huan, what do you think I should do? What should I do?" If she didn't have scruples, she really wanted to throw herself into Chu Huan's arms and cry.
