Chapter 346 Chapter 25 Burgundy
() Found the way home!
The launch conference of Warwick came to an end, but the impact of this launch conference is still continuing. First, the Warwick P7 mobile phone has a delicate appearance, ultra-thin body, and extremely compact. It also uses metal and double glass structure for the first time, which makes global consumers shine.
What surprised consumers the most was the song "DreamItPossible" and the song singer Han Xiao. Her popularity suddenly increased. Many domestic netizens found that on May 8, the number one hot search on Weibo was #Han Xiao?#.
Who is Han Xiao? Many netizens who did not watch the Warwick press conference were confused. Why did this topic become a hot search list immediately? And it was a hot search that netizens spontaneously searched for non-money purchases. With such questions, netizens clicked on the topic list and found the press conference singing video specially edited by Warwick. Then they were attracted by this song and the girl's voice. After listening to it, they had a bigger question in their hearts: "Who is Han Xiao?"
Early the morning of the second day of the new product launch of Warwick, Tang Yuan took Han Xiao and Chen Lan back to China. The company had helped her receive an exclusive interview with Zhalang Music Channel. Although it was just a small column report, it was a promotion for a newcomer. In addition, the award ceremony for the "Chinese Music Rankings" held on May 17 had sent her an invitation letter, inviting her to sing as a guest on live.
"Brother Xiaoye, Sister Mo Han, thank you." At the airport entrance, Han Xiao hugged and said goodbye with Shen Fang and Qin Mo Han excitedly. She also understood that she could have the support of Shen Fang today, and that she would never be different from the past after she returned this time. Such improvement is both an opportunity and a test for her.
"Tang Yuan, Han Xiao must be steady when he goes back this time, not too radical. Please give feedback to Director Qu. Han Xiao only has this song now. What we need to pay attention to now is to take the reputation route and not expose too many parts of the person." Shen Fang was worried that the sudden impact of fame would make her mentality unbalanced. If some media praised her, she would make her lose weight: "And then I will attend the ceremony as an award presenter, and you will walk the red carpet with me and Mo Han."
"Brother Xiaoye, I will pay attention. After I go back, I will hide in school except for the notice received by the company and not contact the outside media." Han Xiao knew that Shen Fang was for her good, and a singer still had to rely on his works to support him. If you change a company, it would be strange if you don't take advantage of her topic to make a big splash.
"I really don't know whether this sudden fame is good or bad to her." Seeing the few people disappearing into the corridor, Shen Fang couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Mohan comforted him and said, "Don't worry, although Han Xiao is not old, his mind is still mature. Children from poor families have long been in the family. After the hard life before, she knew what she wanted and what she should do."
Shen Fang shook his head and threw this worry out of his head. Then he looked at Qin Mohan and said, "We have three days left. Let's talk, where will we go to play?"
"You decided that I will follow you all the way." Qin Mohan threw a charming look at him: "Ireally want to hold your hand, walk theroado for happiness. (I just hold your hand like this and keep walking happily."
"I prefer: hold your hand and grow old with you." Chen Fang pulled her hand over and grabbed it tightly: "We'll go to Burgundy today, and I'll take you to meet Jill Kiriya, a wise old man."
Qin Mohan asked in surprise: "Is it the master who once taught you wine tasting?"
Chen Fang looked at Qin Mohan and said, "Yes, it was my most confused period at that time when I was on a cruise ship. At that time, I just wanted to escape. It was this old man who saw my thoughts and then guided me to step by step out of the haze in my heart."
More than 250 kilometers from Paris to Burgundy, the winery in Killia is even further away. In order to make it more convenient to visit, Chen Fang decided to drive there.
After leaving Paris, along Highway A6, the lush trees on both sides, the farms and the castles that appear from time to time show the unique charm of this Western European country to several people. After passing Auxerre, you will see many bicycle enthusiasts riding on both sides of the road. From the end of June to mid-July every year, it is the prosperous era of the annual Tour de France. Last year, the Tour de France has gone through a century-old journey, which has also injected vitality into the international arena. Riders from China also appeared in the Tour de France for the first time.
The winery of the Killia family is located in the village of Gervre Chambedand in the southern part of Dijon, with Fixan to the north and Morey-St. It is a very famous wine-producing village in the Burgundy region. After Chen Fang was injured in skiing in 2009, he was taken here by Jill Gillia for a period of injury.
Burgundy is a narrow and long area, close to the central highland. When you approach Dijon, you will feel that the whole sky above Burgundy seems to be filled with a kind of wine flavor. It can be said that Burgundy is a wine kingdom, starting from the Chabley region, to Bona and Masson, just south of Dijon, and to Lyon, the hillsides on both sides are full of vineyards. The names of wineries that appear from time to time seem to tell you that this is the red wine capital of France and even the world.
Chen Fang did not notify Jill in advance, but he also knew that the old man must stay at home. After retiring from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 12 years, Jill returned to his hometown. His family has a 2.63-century first-class vineyard, which belongs to the entire Killian family.
Burgundy is not like Bordeaux, another red wine capital in France. The vineyards in Bordeaux are dozens of hectares. A winery can have multiple vineyards. In Burgundy, you will find that their vineyard planting area is much smaller. This is why most of the wineries in Bordeaux are castles, and the winery here is winery here. The winery here is more traditional, just like the "small peasant economy" in China. Sometimes a vineyard can be jointly owned by several companies.
This is the case with the vineyard of the Killia family. His grandfather once assigned the vineyard to his three sons and explained that if the grade cannot be upgraded to the special level, it will never be allowed to divide. In the rating of the vineyards in Burgundy, the rating requirements are higher. It is necessary to be able to have the three branches of the Killia family have their own small wineries. Each of them has their own unique winemaking technology. Although they are all grapes from the same vineyard, the red wines produced by the three wineries have different tastes.
"Wang...Wang..." The door of the winery was closed, and two Brittany dogs barked at Chen Fang inside the gate.
The busiest time for wineries every year is November, which is the time to pick grapes and prepare for winemaking, and May and June are the most leisurely moments. At this time, in addition to going to the vineyards from time to time to see the quality of the fruits, they basically focus on leisure. Now the local government is calling on many local wineries to let them open up their estates and use tourism to drive the local economy in their leisure time. The French rural areas have gradually become tourist attractions, attracting a large number of tourists. Leisure and comfortable rural life is also a symbol of French culture.
"Carl, Tony, who is here?" The door of a wooden villa next to the winery opened, and an old man with silver hair and an old woman with long brown hair came out. The old man covered the dazzling sunlight with his hands and looked here with his eyes squinted. This is the teacher Jill Killia.
"Gil, it's me, I'm Charles." Chen Fang waved to the old man. He hadn't seen this old man for four years. His body was as tough as before. His taller body made him look extremely burly, with his white hair combed back delicately. However, Chen Fang remembered that he was always dressed in a black suit, and now he was wearing a Polo shirt, while his wife Fiona Kiria was wearing a long linen skirt and a bohemian shawl, which was still as elegant as before. After hearing the sound, he barked the two barking dogs to his side and grabbed them.
"Oh, Charles." Opening the iron door, Jill hugged him, and then gave Chen Fang a veneer kiss.
"Gill, how many times have I said that we Chinese are not used to your etiquette." Chen Fang pushed him with a disgust look on his face, then faced Fiona who was walking over and gave her a big hug.
"Haha, a few Chinese tourists came to my winery some time ago. Didn't they say that you Chinese are saying "Accompanies the local customs?" Jill was not angry with his attitude, and understood that only when he was close to him could he have such a childlike temper.
"Gil, Fiona, let me introduce you." Chen Fang pulled Qin Mohan who was standing beside him: "This is my fiancée, Monica? Qin."
"I know you." Fiona said with a smile: "The news of Charles' proposal to you is reported in France. Unexpectedly, Jill's primary apprentice on the cruise ship has become a world-class rich man." Fiona hugged Qin Mohan, and then invited several people to enter the house.
Jill's winery is not big, just two red bricks made of five meters high and ten meters wide and thirty meters long workshops, and a not-so-large wine cellar. The entire area is not as big as the sunken whiskey winery. Because wine does not require distillation, there is a huge distillation workshop and condensation workshop. The living area of the villa occupies one-third of the area of the winery. Outside a villa and several workers' rooms is a huge garden with all kinds of flowers blooming inside. The romantic feelings of the French must be accompanied by flowers in the place where they live.
Only Jill and his wife live here in this winery, plus two Brittany dogs. They only have one son, a professor of biology at the University of Burgundy in Dijon. They have been studying how to use scientific methods to improve the quality of red wine, which has a great conflict with Jill's traditional methods. In Jill's view, not following the tradition is a betrayal.
