Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1352: Beauties and Fine Wine, the Final Question (Part 2)

In Master Owen’s eyes, Bai Xiaosheng was like a wild, untamable stallion. To get him to behave, one must first completely tame him.

”Let the third round begin!” Master Owen declared aloud.

In an instant, everyone’s emotions were reignited.

Led by the sibling duo of Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan, many once again directed sarcasm at Bai Xiaosheng.

”This time, if it’s just Master Owen showcasing his skills and he concedes, it would be boring.”

”That would be too dull. At least let us have a comparison!”

”I hope he has the courage to stand up and not shrink back like what the Orientals refer to as a turtle hiding in its shell!”

A flood of taunts came their way.

Even those who initially supported Bai Xiaosheng changed their stance after he withdrew without a fight.

Master Owen had stated from the beginning that there would be three rounds with Bai Xiaosheng: mixing, brewing, and tasting wine.

This third phase was of course wine tasting.

”Next, we’ll be tasting wine. However, I’ve tasted almost every fine wine at the Ferro Winery and am intimately familiar with each. Using those against you would be bullying,” Master Owen said aloud.

These words indeed carried the grace of a Great Master.

Master Owen’s gaze swept over to Mo Xin, and he smiled, ”Miss Mo Xin, you are reputed as the most talented divine-level mixologist under your teacher. You shall be the one to set the challenge. I hope you won’t disappoint me! After all, I respect your teacher greatly!”

Everyone looked at Mo Xin.

In this final round, even Mo Xin unwittingly became a candidate being tested.

Master Owen deliberately mentioned Mo Xin’s teacher. If Mo Xin’s crafted wine wasn’t skillful enough, even her teacher could become the subject of Master Owen’s ridicule.

As for why he chose Mo Xin, a supporter of Bai Xiaosheng, others might perceive it as a reflection of the Master’s magnanimity.

But Master Owen had his own considerations.

Among everyone present, besides Bai Xiaosheng and himself, the one with the highest expertise in wine was not Allen, but Mo Xin. She alone was qualified to prepare the wine as the final ”challenge.”

Mo Xin, known for her straightforward and upright nature, would never resort to trickery in a contest.

Master Owen was confident that even if she went easy on that young man, as a Great Master, he would still prevail!

With her teacher being mentioned in public, Mo Xin knitted her brows slightly, then responded aloud to Master Owen’s request, ”Fine, I’ll be the one to set the challenge for the two of you!”

”But this time, I need ten minutes to prepare, as my newly crafted wine takes time,” Mo Xin said, ”I hope both of you agree.”

Bai Xiaosheng and Master Owen nodded immediately.

Mo Xin looked at them, a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes, ”This is my meticulously crafted work, and I hope both of you will give me some honest feedback!”

As she spoke, Mo Xin took an extra moment to glance at Bai Xiaosheng.

What she most hoped for was to gain Bai Xiaosheng’s evaluation and suggestions.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled back at Mo Xin; he naturally recognized the anticipation in her eyes and was ready to taste her labor of love.

”That’s fine. Even if you need more than ten minutes, it’s okay. Just don’t let us down; after all, you are the direct disciple of that great figure!” Master Owen chuckled, mentioning Mo Xin’s teacher once more.

Mo Xin nodded, stepped forward, and walked over to the first table.

On that table, the mixing equipment and ingredients were the most complete, whereas, on the third table, there were only some exquisite crystal utensils for holding wine to be tasted.

Mo Xin walked slowly from one end of the first table to the other, her beautiful eyes gliding over every ingredient, her rosy lips moving slightly as if silently reciting each ingredient’s name.

The entire audience watched her with rapt attention, maintaining silence.

Many had long heard the reputation of the divine-level beauty mixologist and were full of anticipation.

A couple of years ago, this title was still unknown, and Mo Xin even traveled far to the East, attending small venues to gain experiences.

It was during this time that she had the serendipitous encounter with Bai Xiaosheng.

And now, a couple of years later, Mo Xin had truly made her name in Europe, becoming the direct disciple of her own teacher!

At this moment, unlike Bai Xiaosheng’s exaggerated behavior, she made two passes, grasped everything in her mind, and then turned to whisper to Antonio with a lowered voice.

Antonio nodded repeatedly and then waved his hand to summon his butler, giving him detailed instructions.

The butler carefully noted everything and ran off.

”Everyone!” Antonio addressed the crowd, ”Miss Mo Xin requires some special materials for preparation, which will take a few minutes. We kindly ask for your understanding!”

Since it was for material preparation, naturally the guests had nothing to say.

If there was anything on their minds, it was the itch of anticipation, wanting to witness the final showdown quickly.

After about seven to eight minutes, the butler returned, followed by several people carrying jars and bottles, fresh fruits, a blender, a grinder, a small power supply, and distillation equipment.

As the people from Ferro Winery set everything on the table, Mo Xin went over to them, courteously expressing her thanks.

The old butler nervously said he didn’t dare, and then led his people away.

Mo Xin moved to the table and began working methodically.

She did not shy away from the crowd. All the guests widened their eyes, focusing intently, with many even planning to ”steal the technique,” including Master Owen, who stepped forward two steps, watching intently.

The ”Encounter” wine, although Bai Xiaosheng’s original creation, was brought to the West by Mo Xin.

Earlier, during the face-off between Master Owen and Bai Xiaosheng, Master Owen had let Bai Xiaosheng go first with the hope that he would mix the ”Encounter” wine, giving the Great Master an opportunity to witness its true form.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng chose not to.

Now it was Mo Xin’s turn to mix. Whether she would create a variant of the ”Encounter” wine was still unknown.

Master Owen closely monitored her every move, hoping to gain some insights.

Mo Xin ground the nuts, freshly juiced the fruits, mashed the vegetables and fruits into a puree, then distilled them to extract water.

Each step she took sparked frequent discussions among the guests.

Some wondered what was the point of juicing fruits and veggies only to distill water from them?

After all, the extracted result was colorless and tasteless distilled water.

When Mo Xin utilized the distilled water, smashing the remaining fruit and vegetable pulp to juice them again, people were astonished. They had focused so much on the distilled water step that they overlooked what fruits and vegetables Mo Xin had mashed, as well as the proportions.

”Evaporating the excess water greatly alters the sugar content and flavor, and the remaining juice is the key. The distilled water is just a byproduct!” someone realized when they saw Mo Xin mix the distilled water with regular mineral water, placed in a vessel, then quick-froze it into ice using liquid nitrogen.

”Not necessarily! Water quality varies in hardness. The mix of distilled and spring water proportion in making ice could also affect the taste!” someone couldn’t resist exclaiming.

”But who remembers the proportion of the two waters mixed?!” someone exclaimed.

Mo Xin’s open demonstration left them puzzled by the deeper meaning behind each of her steps.

The prowess of the divine-level beauty mixologist was astonishing!

Even Master Owen’s face showed several expressions of doubt.

Ultimately, while a versatile Great Master was formidable, specialists like Mo Xin, with their deep focus in one niche, could sometimes be even scarier.

This organized process continued, leaving the crowd already abandoning any prior thought of stealing the technique. What they considered vital steps turned out to be insignificant, and the inconspicuous byproducts were what Mo Xin needed.

Such technique, such thought process, who could possibly keep up?

The audience decided to stop trying to figure it out and instead immersed themselves in appreciating the splendor of the divine-level beauty mixologist.

Finally, Mo Xin conventionally shook the mixer in her hand.

The two bracelets on her fair wrists collided, producing a crisp, pleasant sound.

The wonderful sound came to a sudden stop.

Mo Xin placed the shaker on the table and made a ”please” gesture towards Bai Xiaosheng and Master Owen, smiling.

”The wine is ready, gentlemen, please come and try it!”
