The cause and effect, all rely on exploration.
If it weren't for spending a long time together and having a built-in translation mode, Artie would find it very difficult to get all the necessary information out of such a frugal speaking style.
"I am the Wine Winters Ambassador, much richer than you."
Artie made a big gesture before continuing: "Why would I need you to support me? Can you even afford it?"
Artie laughed with puffed cheeks and wiped away the remaining tears on her face.
"What live broadcast?" Summer Fairmont only returned to the main topic after judging from Artie's voice that she had stopped crying.
"What do you mean! You didn't even watch it! And yet you made me cry for so long."
"Two minutes and twelve seconds." Summer Fairmont accurately reported the duration of their call.
Two minutes and twelve seconds and half a day could never be equated in Summer's book.
"Summer, wait a little bit for me. I want to get revenge for you first before calling you! It was too much! I won't be called Vaughn unless I make that hypocritical bastard notorious."
Artie, filled with righteous indignation, adjusted her sleeves without realizing she was wearing a sleeveless dress today.
The Devilish Lolita instantly switched to an aura of swift vengeance.
The Pouting Siren Artie, a Lolita face, a devilish figure, with a 36D chest harboring a gangster's heart.
Have you ever seen a gangster with extraordinary coquettish skills?
If not before, you have now.
...............
Artie, having composed herself, returned to the venue of the annual Top 100 Liquor Gala.
The tasting session was not yet over.
The pretentious, fame-seeking, money-grubbing, so-called, national-level Wine Taster was tasting the last wine he had numbered himself, No. 66.
When Sean Lowell noted the top ten wines, the numbers were written in ascending order.
Yet he had written No. 66 separately at the end of all numbers in this year's top ten.
Sean Lowell did not write a brief review for No. 66 but began a professional assessment directly—
With mature sauce fragrance, smooth and rounded, full-bodied, with delicate flavors, and well-coordinated tastes. The fragrance fills the nose when open; it is aromatic in the mouth; the fragrance remains after the cup is empty.
Before and after the Double Ninth Festival, two sets of ingredients were used, spread and aired eight times, added alcohol koji, steeped in high-temperature stacked fermentation, and distilled seven times before storage.
After three years, it was blended with over eighty kinds of base liquor and was bottled with 1990 Vintage Mountai blended with this year's new liquor.
The final assessment of No. 66: Factory liquor strength was 53 degrees, and the mixed liquor strength was 51.2 degrees.
As soon as Sean Lowell's assessment was released, it first ignited Gordon Sterling's live room:
[Whoa! Who's the idiot who blended a 1990 Vintage Mountai with this year's new liquor?]
[66666, having money really lets you do whateverヾ|≧_≦|〃]
[Heaven and earth! I was born in 1990 and have never tasted 1990 Mountai...]
In fact, even if Artie hadn't come to "cause a scene,"
Winters Spirits' annual blind tasting gala always had "Easter eggs."
Inside the 100 black boxes each year, there would be a uniquely brewed liquor mixed on-site.
But these wines have always just been for the entertainment of the distillery and the viewers in the live room and could never pass Sean Lowell's three-second selection of the best.
Compared to the restless fans in the live room, the well-experienced distillery representatives were not overly surprised on the spot.
They often see news like '1992 Vintage Mountai, auctioned off at an astronomical price of 8.9 million yuan'.
But that was a limited edition Han Emperors Mountai, with only ten bottles ever made, even the packaging of which won global awards.
A regular 1992 Vintage Flying Mountai fetches a price of only ten to twenty thousand.
Which are the types of liquor that all the present distillery representatives can afford.
What the distillery representatives couldn't understand wasn't the blending of a 1990 Mountai with this year's new liquor, but the fact that Sean Lowell, after completing all ten tasting results, didn't leave right away like in the previous four years.
After rinsing his mouth with strong tea, Sean Lowell drank two-thirds of the glass of blended Mountai liquor he just tasted.
Witnessing the "Divine Palate" drinking was unheard of.
A Wine Taster isn't a profession everyone encounters.
In the public's imagination, a Wine Taster should be someone who never gets drunk.
In reality, a top-notch Wine Taster requires a sense of smell rivaling a dog's nose and taste as sharp as a doping tester.
Wine tasting isn't about indulging in wine, nor about loving it.
Many Wine Tasters find their drinking capacity increases due to the profession, eventually leading them to have to abandon the career.
To maintain sensitivity of the tongue, Sean Lowell couldn't be greedy with alcohol, couldn't drink ice water, can't eat spicy food, and couldn't eat hot food.
The life "The Divine Palate" leads is more disciplined than an Ascetic's.
No one has ever seen Sean Lowell drink wine before, not even his roommate Gordon Sterling.
So no one ever knew that this Hall of Fame Wine Taster, with a "speech disorder," turns into a completely different person after drinking.
"May I talk to you about this glass of wine?"
The chief Wine Taster, who was supposed to have left the soundproof glass room, took the initiative to speak, breaking his usual silent demeanor of only writing wine reviews.
If the previous "money-grubbing and murderous" was like an atomic bomb, then Sean Lowell's current proposal was a hydrogen bomb.
"Blending a 1990 Mountai with this year's new wine would surprise many."
"That's what I thought before drinking it."
"The 1990 Vintage Flying Mountai used for blending was not stored in a good environment."
"There's a severe loss of alcohol, with the strength dropping to around forty degrees."
"Poorly stored Mountai can't be considered antique, and its price wouldn't even exceed half of this year's new Flying Mountai."
"However, while the alcohol level escaped, the esters and acids remained."
"A bottle of unusable wine for collectors has suddenly turned into the best base for blending new Mountai, giving it a taste of over ten years."
"People say that Mountai's Wine Tasters are the industry's benchmark, and after drinking this, I deeply understand."
A speech resonating with the distillery representatives present.
A commentary shared joyfully by the live room's fans.
The feedback received from Artie was: "Gosh~ This is just way too sycophantic~"
Pouting with deep breaths, Artie's 36D chest couldn't contain her full indignation anymore: "Just bootlicking famous distillery brands, may Artie wish you end up with nothing, hmph!"
