Ready

The master took the initiative to accept disciples!

This tense atmosphere lasted for about five minutes before Liu Damao finished his wine tasting.

Amidst everyone’s expectant gazes, he surprisingly walked directly towards Lin Yuan, his expression grave, and asked a series of questions: “Xiao Hu, which winery are you from? Who is your master? Are you interested in becoming my apprentice?”

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Gasps of surprise rose and fell across the scene.

Everyone’s face was filled with shock.

What was going on? What exactly happened?

Why did Master Liu, after a series of perplexing evaluations, suddenly decide to take Lin Yuan as his disciple?

It should be known that Master Liu is a prominent figure in the entire Chinese wine tasting industry; almost no one who loves red wine doesn’t know him.

Such a person, simply being listed as a consultant for a winery, can easily earn millions a year, not to mention his other income.

Every day, countless people wear out his doorstep, just hoping he can help evaluate their wine, which can double its value.

It could be said that whoever became his apprentice would have a life of wealth and glory secured.

Moreover, in everyone’s impression, Liu Damao had never had any apprentices before.

If Lin Yuan were to agree now, he would become Liu Damao’s only disciple, and his future achievements would be limitless.

It was unimaginable.

Just a single form could make Liu Damao lower himself and actively seek an apprentice.

At this moment, everyone’s curiosity had reached its peak; what exactly was written on that form?!

Lin Yuan was also caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.

What the heck?

Take me as your apprentice?

Are you sure it’s not me taking you?

Of course, he also knew that for someone to publicly offer to take him as an apprentice was a great honor, and he couldn’t simply reject it outright.

He could only offer an awkward smile and politely decline: “I’m sorry, Master Liu, but I’m used to being free and don’t like being someone’s apprentice. Plus, I prefer selling houses. If you don’t mind, you can buy a house from me, and I’ll give you a discount!”

Upon hearing this, the Photographer immediately turned his head and covered his face.

This scene was too familiar.

He had guessed this would be the outcome.

But Liu Damao was not doing so well; he froze on the spot, his face filled with astonishment.

In his understanding, as long as he spoke, there should be few wine lovers who could refuse, right?

He had never even considered that Lin Yuan would refuse.

He had already thought about what to say next.

But you, you just rejected me without even thinking? And then you want to sell me a house?

This is just too infuriating!!

Looking at Lin Yuan’s harmless, sunny boy face, Liu Damao’s mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath, shaking his head helplessly: “What a pity, what a pity! Such a good talent, I see the shadow of a future world wine master in you, sigh…”

Lin Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, only managing a forced smile to ease the tension.

Many people in the audience looked at him, their eyes red with envy.

Such a great opportunity, and he just threw it away.

If you don’t want it, give it to me! I’d even call you daddy, or if that’s too much, being a grandson isn’t out of the question.

But now, the chance was gone, and everyone wished they could rush up and bite Lin Yuan to death.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Lin Yuan quickly sat up straight, no longer daring to show off. He was truly afraid these people wouldn’t be able to resist rushing up and beating him.

Fortunately, at this moment, the leader behind them, unable to contain his curiosity, stood up and asked: “Master Liu, can you tell me what this contestant wrote? We are all very curious!”

As soon as he spoke, a chorus of agreement immediately erupted: “Yes, tell us quickly.”

“Wine tasting is just about colors and flavors, isn’t it? What else could there be?”

The netizens in the live stream were also completely stunned at this moment.

— [Now I suddenly have a feeling like a top student taking the college entrance exam, being the first to leave the exam hall, and then getting the top score in the country. What exactly did this guy write?]

— [I want to know too. It directly led the judge to want to take him as an apprentice. Even if he got everything right, it shouldn’t be that much, right? Could there be some other trick?]

— [I said it before, this is just the show’s script. It doesn’t make sense no matter how you look at it. Out of ten people, someone else must have gotten a perfect score, right? Even if he was the only one, why should he be taken as an apprentice? Is it because he’s more impressive?]

— [Script your grandma, you idiot. Doesn’t a wine master care about his reputation? To be rejected publicly to cooperate with a script? Doesn’t he care about his face? Your brain is useless on you, just throw it away.]

Liu Damao looked at the eager eyes of the crowd and nodded with a smile.

He walked to the glass table, picked up Lin Yuan’s three forms, then put down two, keeping only one, and slowly raised it, saying: “Firstly, I carefully examined the tasting results of all ten contestants, and generally, there were no problems. The tasting results were basically accurate.”

“However, Lin Yuan’s form was unique because, on his form, he not only wrote the basic information but also the annual rainfall and soil pH value of the origin.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What? Annual rainfall? Soil pH value?

Oh my god!

Is this called wine tasting?

Are you sure it’s not fortune-telling?

Can this also be tasted?

However, that wasn’t all.

Liu Damao continued to explain: “Not only that, but his form also contained the tasting results for two different red wines.”

He truly wouldn’t stop until he shocked everyone to death.

As soon as his words fell, the scene immediately erupted.

Hearing such a result, everyone felt their heads buzzing; it was simply too incredible.

One glass of wine, with two tasting results?

Did the organizers intentionally mix two kinds of wine?

But that didn’t make sense either; the other contestants didn’t write it, only Lin Yuan did.

And the biggest taboo in wine tasting is mixing flavors; even if the organizers were stupid, they wouldn’t do something so foolish.

Recalling Liu Damao’s public offer to take him as an apprentice, this indicated that Lin Yuan definitely didn’t write randomly, and everything he wrote must be correct!

Could there really be two flavors in one glass of wine?

Everyone discussed animatedly, unable to comprehend this result, feeling their perceptions completely overturned.

The Photographer and Qing He also had expressions of disbelief, their reactions more exaggerated than the last.

Having been tricked several times before, the Photographer thought Lin Yuan was just a swindler who couldn’t taste wine at all. As for drinking and detecting rainfall and soil pH values, he simply thought he was bragging.

But it turns out, you were serious?

As for Qing He, she thought she had already held Lin Yuan in high regard.

But now she realized how much she had underestimated Lin Yuan. His skill was more than just higher than her father’s?

It was completely incomparable, a world of difference!

She never expected that just casually pulling someone in to save the day today would bring in a trump card!

Liu Damao looked calmly at everyone and spoke again: “You might be very curious why this is the case.”

“Actually, I was also very curious just now. In my decades of work, I have never encountered such a thing.”

“But after my careful tasting, the conclusion I reached is: he is correct!”

After speaking, he turned to the Girl in the suit who had brought the wine earlier and asked curiously: “Xiao Guniang, I ask you, when you brought this glass of wine earlier, did you pour the wrong one before? And then poured a new one.”

The Girl trembled involuntarily upon hearing this question, her face showing a look of terror: “It seems I did pour the wrong one.”

“Good, then tell me, did you wash the glass?”

“Huh?” The Girl paused, asking in confusion: “Wash the glass? I don’t know.”

Seeing the surprised looks around her, she panicked, immediately realizing she had made a mistake, and quickly bowed her head to apologize: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!”
