Chapter 3, Shangyuan and Xinyuan
A hint of a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Being stingy with it, the sommelier could probably manage that, leaving him no chance to back out." With a flick of his wrist, he produced a seahorse knife specifically designed for opening wine corks from somewhere.
When Lan Jue saw them, his eyes almost instantly turned blue, a blue filled with electric light
Whoosh
It is merely a lamp, yet its halo seems somewhat too large
This is a vast underground wine cellar, with wine racks made of premium French white oak from the Proterozoic era arranged neatly, extending as far as the eye can see. Nearby, a series of enormous oak barrels are stacked, occupying an entire wall.
The young man who was originally sitting beside the middle-aged man also stood up, wearing a bitter smile. "I think I will leave as well. Let me find a way to drink a bit more before I come back"
Lan Jue stepped forward and opened his palm. The metal block in his hand seemed to sense something, floating up gracefully. It lightly imprinted itself upon the grand door.
The sommelier looked at Lan Jue and said, "Every time you are assessed by https://mhetushucomcom, you are able to resolve the issues in the shortest time possible, even though some of them are quite challenging"
The gate rippled like water, devoid of brilliance, and then vanished in a strangely melting manner
The middle-aged man said: "Bordeaux and Burgundy, among which Bordeaux is further divided into the Left Bank and the Right Bank"
Tianhuo Avenue, Gothic Old Winery
Goodness, this is a treasure for wine connoisseurs! Unfortunately, it can only be one bottle
Each bottle is a fine product! Indeed, one bottle less with every drink. He exclaimed in admiration while watching.
Burgundy and Bordeaux are completely different; Burgundy can be aerated slightly, generally not exceeding half an hour, while the best Burgundies actually do not require aeration. What you enjoy is the continuous changes that occur as it comes into contact with air. Perhaps you have tasted Burgundy, but certainly not in abundance.
Here, both time and space are at a standstill. If it were not for the metal block hovering above Lan Jue's head, emitting a soft glow that enveloped him, he too would become a part of this stillness
Although it is not the first time here, Lan Jue still cannot help but marvel. It is truly hard to imagine how the sommelier managed to bring so many exquisite wines from the Yuan Dynasty to Tianhuo City. Moreover, they were sealed using such vast spatial and temporal technology. Just the white oak here, with each square meter of wine rack, is worth more than 10,000 New Yuan. The average monthly income of a typical family on Tianhuo Star is about 1,000 New Yuan. Just the white oak here, with each square meter of wine rack, is worth more than 10,000 New Yuan.

Lan Jue smiled, "Do you think you are very clever?"
It was a lamp, emitting a dim yellow glow. To the average person, it was merely a lamp. However, Lan Jue discerned some subtle nuances within it
He stood still, while everything around him subtly distorted. After half a minute had passed, the sense of distortion finally disappeared, and everything returned to normal
The term "Five First Growths" refers to the five first growth estates of the Médoc classified in 1855 on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, as well as the three major estates on the Right Bank. Specifically, the five first growths on the Left Bank are Château Latour, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux, Château Haut-Brion, and Château Mouton Rothschild. The three major estates on the Right Bank are Château Pétrus, Château Ausone, and Château Cheval Blanc
The middle-aged man nodded earnestly and said, "I have learned a lot." He stood up, saluted the four people from Lan Jue, and then turned to leave
The middle-aged man hesitated and tentatively said, "The need for decanting depends on the condition and storage of the wine, so it is difficult to make a judgment."
Lan Jue's gaze turned to the middle-aged man, "What are the two main wine-producing regions of the red wine from the Upper Burgundy region of France?"
After traversing a corridor that reaches a height of ten zhang, he descended a spiral staircase, winding down for another ten zhang, until an ancient, brown wooden door appeared before him
In the year 2235 of the Shangyuan era, the first batch of interstellar migrants entered Mars in the solar system. From that time onward, humanity entered the era of interstellar migration, marking a new epoch, referred to as the New Era.
"Good." Lan Jue immediately stood up, and as he passed by the sommelier, he picked up the piece of silvery metal and walked towards the back
He turned and was about to walk towards the dim yellow halo, but just as he took a step, he stopped.
Lan Jue smiled faintly and walked in slowly
Lan Jue walked slowly inward, glancing at the labels of the rows of bottled ancient wines as he moved
Which eight estates are referred to as the "Eight Great Châteaux of Bordeaux"
A layer of soft blue light illuminated around Blue Absolute's body, causing him to float off the ground. When his body made contact with the dim yellow halo, the distortion of space reappeared.
Only by suspending time and space can the condition of these exquisite wines be ensured
You may leave now, Lan Jue said
On the wall, a series of bottles of red wine are displayed horizontally on a separate wine rack before his eyes
Lan Jue smiled and said: "But it also points directly to the heart, does it not? The reason you are reluctant to ask too sharply is that you wish to maintain your composure. I am a jeweler, not a sommelier, or rather, I am just a drunkard eager to enjoy fine wine. So, what shall we drink today?"
In just a short span of one hundred years, humanity has acquired twenty-three administrative planets and books, including Mars and the home planet.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, stopped in his tracks, and looked up.
He arrived at another room, which was smaller than the outside, approximately around 500 square meters. The layout was almost identical to that of the outside.
The middle-aged person's heart tightened
The middle-aged man stood up with a wry smile and said, "Where did I go wrong?"
He, who had always been calm and elegant, could not help but quicken his pace. Arriving at the wine rack, he picked up a bottle of red wine. Gazing at the pristine white label, he looked as if he were admiring a stunning beauty who had opened her heart to him, his eyes filled with infatuation
The old man walked away dejectedly, while the expressions of the middle-aged man and the young man became even more serious
Lanjue said: "Very well. As we just mentioned, the Lafite Rothschild from the Left Bank generally requires about two hours of decanting. How long does the top red wine from the Burgundy region typically need to breathe? For example, the Latache from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti."
The sommelier said: "Feel free to take one bottle from the wine cellar yourself. Any additional bottles will require payment." As he spoke, he placed a silver-colored metal block on the table in front of him
