Chapter 56 Is this also called wine tasting?
After the host’s detailed introduction and explanation, the staff carefully arranged the stage.
The leaders sit in the background in an orderly manner.
In the center of everyone's attention, a glass table stood, covered with a clean white cloth, like a piece of pure snow.
Liu Damao was sitting behind the table, smiling.
The host then explained the rules of the competition.
Very simple.
Next, a staff member will pour three large glasses of red wine and place them on the glass table.
Each bidding winery will have a sommelier representative come on stage to taste, and then fill out a form, and then Liu Damao will score and select.
The total time is ten minutes.
At the moment when the host loudly announced that the game officially started
All the guests took the initiative to step back to leave a passage for the participating sommeliers.
Sommeliers from ten wineries who came to participate in the competition also took to the stage.
Now Qinghe was panicking. She no longer cared about the problem of face, and hurriedly walked to Lin Yuan and smiled awkwardly: "Handsome guy, my dad hasn't come back yet. We don't have a sommelier at Qinghe Winery. Can you take my place, please?”
Lin Yuan, who was watching the show, was stunned when he heard this and looked at Qing He's expectant look.
"Huh? Me? I thought you were just helping me out, but I didn't expect you to actually let me in."
Qing He smiled bitterly and replied: "I can't help it. My dad is missing and I don't have my phone with me. If I don't go up, I will automatically give up the game."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked strange and smiled faintly: "Aren't you afraid that I will mess it up?"
"Don't be afraid!" Qing He shook his head firmly, and then said with a smile: "Even if I lose, I won't blame you, and I believe in you!"
Seeing Qing He's eyes full of expectation and trust, Lin Yuan stood up directly, smiled and reassured: "What a big deal, isn't it just wine tasting, which I am good at, I can just go up there. "
Hearing Lin Yuan's cheerful agreement, Qing He nodded excitedly: "Yeah! Thank you!"
"Okay, wait for my good news!"
After saying that, Lin Yuan stood up, waved easily, and walked onto the stage confidently.
In front of the stage, all the sommeliers stood in a row, looking nervous.
Only Lin Yuan looked relaxed and comfortable, not caring at all.
The waiter slowly walked over pushing a trolley. On the trolley were neatly placed empty wine glasses, spit buckets and mineral water for tasters to rinse their mouths.
At this time, a girl in a suit walked over with a smile carrying a large plate.
Three large glasses of red wine were placed on the plate. The color was bright and the attractive aroma of the wine filled the air.
She gently placed the red wine on the plate firmly on the table in front of the judges.
Everything was ready, and without the host saying anything, the sommeliers from each winery lined up to pour the wine and conduct a tasting.
The photographer stood in the audience and watched them all chattering away, exactly the same as what Lin Yuan taught him before.
The scene was filled with the sound of gargling.
It didn't sound like wine tasting, but more like taking a bath and brushing teeth in a bathhouse.
Everyone spits it out after tasting it, then cleans their mouth and tastes the next cup.
Only Lin Yuan drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then directly took three forms to fill in the relevant information of the red wine.
This posture made the judges and leaders on the stage stunned.
Good guy, why are you here to taste wine? You are obviously here to drink because you are greedy, right?
Others haven't finished their first cup, and you're going to end it now?
Especially when paired with his sportswear, he looks like a college student who hastily written down answers to an exam and is in a hurry to hand in the paper.
In less than a minute, Lin Yuan raised the form in his hand and shouted in a calm voice: "I'm done!"
Netizens in the live broadcast room were completely confused when they saw this scene.

——[Why does this look like the exam I took when I was in school? But even if they were all multiple-choice questions, they wouldn’t be filled out so quickly, right? Why do I feel like he wrote it blindly? 】
——[What a pity, that girl, you have no choice but to find Lin Yuan. The photographer was already tricked so badly just now, why don’t you teach her a lesson? I already had a premonition of the result, he must be last. 】
——[You have to say that he doesn’t understand. From what he said before and how he acted and helped the waiter, I always felt that he was very professional. But if you want to say that he understands, it seems unreliable no matter how you look at it. I really don’t know what this guy is. 】
——[I'm fine with you. I'm just drinking some wine and writing a few words. It's just a formality anyway. 】
The staff heard the sound and hurriedly came over to take the form and gently placed it in front of Liu Damao's desk.
The guests at the scene were all sighing when they saw this scene.
After what happened before, Lin Yuan's performance on stage can be said to be the focus of the audience, and many people have high expectations for him.
It turns out that this guy's main focus is to do whatever he wants and it's unreliable.
How can a sommelier not look at it, not smell it, and just take a sip of it?
Let alone three drinks in a row.
I don't know what the taste is like in my mouth.
Look at the other players present, who didn’t look and smell and smell.
I didn't dare to take a sip, for fear of destroying the sensitivity of my taste buds and making it impossible to judge accurately.
Qinghe was also made nervous by Lin Yuan's seemingly relaxed performance.
At this moment, her whole body was so tense that her fingernails unknowingly pinched a large mark on her flesh.
This way of tasting wine completely subverted her traditional thinking about wine tasting.
But she didn't waver in her heart at all, firmly believing that she was not wrong.
Before this, she was the only person who knew how terrifying Lin Yuan's wine tasting skills were.
Perhaps, as he said, he has reached the stage of returning to his original nature.
After waiting for a long time, ten minutes seemed like an eternity.
The sound of gargling at the side of the stage stopped abruptly.
The staff collected the forms they filled out one by one and placed them in front of Liu Damao's desk.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, and the contestants could not stop sweating from their foreheads, as if they were waiting for a century-long trial.
Of course, except for Lin Yuan, he had moved a chair from nowhere and leaned there to eat dessert, which was completely out of tune with the atmosphere of the scene.
Under the expectation of everyone, Liu Damao slowly picked up the first form and read it carefully.
The guests at the scene held their breath, anticipating his reaction.
However, he acted calmly, reading one after another, just like a teacher marking student exam papers.
It wasn't until he saw Lin Yuan's form that his face finally changed slightly.
Then his expression gradually became serious, and his brows wrinkled into the character "Sichuan".
In the end, he even stood up and picked up an empty goblet, poured red wine from the competition wine glass on the right, and tasted it carefully.
This sudden scene stunned everyone at the scene.
There was an uproar immediately, and there were many private discussions, everyone wanted to know what Liu Damao was doing.
In their impression, the table at the bottom seemed to belong to Lin Yuan.
Why did Liu Damao only glance at other players' forms, but his reaction when he came to Lin Yuan was extremely cautious.
Didn't he write the form casually?
Is it even beyond the master’s cognition?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became tense and mysterious.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yuan, full of curiosity and expectation.
Only Qing He felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that she had made the right bet!
