The weather in Montana gets very cold in October, and sometimes there will be one or two snows. Ju An is very busy today. He has to follow Wang Fan to pick up the wine from the winery, the first batch of wine last year.
It is ready to be put on the market. The whole process took more than a year before the winemaker was finally satisfied. It is said that the taste is very good. Of course, Ju An also heard what others said, and the red wine that costs 1,000 yuan and the wine that costs 5 yuan are placed together.
Andu may not be able to taste it, so Ju An left it to himself.
Eight hundred bottles, Wang Fan also kept 300 bottles for himself, and several hundred bottles are still stored in the winery. Half of the remaining 20,000 bottles of bottled wine are sold domestically, and half are supplied to the American market. One bottle of wine
The price is not higher than sixteen dollars. The competition in the American wine market is too fierce. It is not easy to promote a new wine. It is the credit of Miles and Mike that it can enter several large supermarkets. As for the domestic market, of course
It was Wang Fan who bore the brunt.
Each winery generally has its own wine label designer. Being able to design wine labels for famous wineries can also make the designer's career even better. Of course, a winery with just a few people in Ju'an cannot hire a big-name designer, so it can be handed over directly.
Dinah's second brother-in-law, James, an illustration artist, was given the job to hold a press conference for the new wine. Mike and Miles used a lot of contacts, and the event was quite successful. Some tasters were very enthusiastic about the winery's wine.
also
It has a high degree of praise, but it is not easy for a new winery to get a share of the American market. Sales are still modest after more than a month on the market. This is already one of the best achievements of the new winery.
.Many people are slowly beginning to like the taste of Ju'an Winery. According to the report given by the survey company, 57% of the customers are repeat customers, indicating that the new wine has begun to be slowly accepted by the market.
In comparison, the domestic market is pretty good. Wang Fan's relationship is strong enough. More than 10,000 bottles of wine were sold out in one month. The winery has been profitable since four people took it over. It doesn't take a few people to invest again.
Money.
The area around Ju An's new home has gradually gained popularity. Of course, most of them are cowboys from the ranch. These cowboys have chosen land to build houses by the lake. Most of the cowboys are young people in their thirties. Ju An
The salary offered is probably one of the few in Montana and even the United States.
Yes, these cowboys have basically reached the age of starting families and getting married. Of course, they have to prepare houses. In this way, there are more than 20 new houses on the edge of the lake, and a new community has slowly begun to form. The town
People on the street habitually call this town Xishuihe Community.
The two of them drove to the airport and took boxes of red wine home. Then they went into their own wine cellars to sort out the wine. Ju An was too lazy and just asked the cowboys to stack the wine boxes together. Later,
Well, I didn’t just close the stall later. There were more than a dozen wooden boxes piled in the more than 200-square-meter underground wine cellar. As for the squares on the wall for storing wine bottles, they were still empty.
After finishing the wine cellar, Ju An entered the living room and saw Cora and Dinah with a stroller beside them. The two babies were sleeping. When Ju An came over, Dinah asked: "The red wine has been stored.
?So fast?”.
Ju An nodded: "Yeah! Save it, what's the trouble? Just put the box in the wine cellar." He walked towards his son's stroller. Looking at his son's fair and tender face,
The two pieces of flesh on the cheeks are almost drooping. He is sleeping soundly with his little mouth pouted, and he wants to scrape his son's face with his hands.
Before he could reach out, Dinah slapped his hand away: "My hands are so cold, don't wake him up."
Ju An had no choice but to laugh, and sat on the sofa next to Dinah, touched a magazine, and started reading. Then he listened to the two women chatting happily about the baby, and a lot of things about the baby that would smile at him.
matter.
After flipping through the magazine for a while, Wang Fan didn't show his head. Ju An stood up from the sofa and asked Cora: "Why does Wang Fan take so long and find it so difficult to get a box?".
Cora smiled: "He said he wanted to serve wine. Just go and find him yourself."
After hearing this, Ju An put on his coat and walked out from the back door towards Wang Fan's house. He shouted at the door: "Wang Fan! Hurry up! It's time to ride a horse."
"Come in yourself, I'm in the underground wine cellar" Wang Fan replied.
Ju An pushed the door open and entered the house, and walked straight towards the basement. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wang Fan with his butt sticking out and wiping the wine bottles. After wiping, he started to put the labels on, and then put the bottles on the wooden slope beside the wall.
Fang Li glanced at Ju An and said to Wang Fan: "Why put a trademark so early? Wait until the children grow up and drink wine. If you put it on now for more than ten years, it will be broken."
Wang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Damn! Why didn't I think of this? Just thinking about the bottle, it looks ugly! Then where can you store the wine label for more than ten years?"
"I put it in my study. How many have you posted?" Ju An asked.
Wang Fan looked at it and said, "It's half pasted. Do you want to tear it off again?"
Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and said, "Forget it! That's it, I'll just put the box in the wine cellar and wait until the baby grows up before opening the box."
Wang Fan thought for a while and said, "Then help me put the remaining wine on the shelves." After hearing this, Ju An squatted down and started to help Wang Fan put the wine. Within a few minutes, the remaining wine was put on the shelf.
Wang Fan looked at the shelf and said, "It looks much better now!".
Ju An pushed: "Hurry up and take advantage of the nice weather. Let's go horseback riding."
The two locked the door and went to Ju'an's stable. They led their horses for a ride and trotted for a while. The two of them felt warm and looked at the dark green hilltop not far away. Wang Fan said: "Next year.
I quit my office in New York and will work here in Montana from now on.”
"Well, it just so happens that you can save yourself the trouble of running in both directions," Ju An said with a smile.
Wang Fan smiled: "Kora fell in love with the air here. She felt uncomfortable after staying in New York for two days. She refused to continue living with her son."
While the two were talking, a loud eagle cry came from the sky. Ju An looked up and saw two black spots flying towards the two of them. In a blink of an eye, they were not far away. Ju An stretched out an arm and Dajin stopped steadily.
Coming down, another black spot landed on a nearby tree.
Wang Fan looked at Da Jin and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Da Jin got married."
A little over a month after Xiao Jin got a girlfriend, Da Jin also found a companion, a black female eagle. Now that Da Jin and Xiao Jin no longer live at home, Xiao Jin chose to build a small eagle on a big tree across the lake.
For their love nest, Dajin and his partner found a big tree on the mountain not far from Ju'an's house. Now Dajin and Xiaojin go home every two days to pick up some meat and return to the nest. For the Golden Eagle family,
, Ju An’s home became a takeaway shop.
The four golden eagles have a strong sense of territory. No raptors can enter the territory of these two couples, which is the big lake. Moreover, these two couples are lazy eaters. They never have to hunt and rarely leave their nests very far.
At that time, many birds living by the lake took advantage and got four free bodyguards to avoid the attacks of raptors.
Ju An held Daijin with one arm and touched Daijin's head with the other hand: "What? Seeing that you two are empty-handed, are you planning to go home to get something again?".
Dajin barked twice as if in response to Ju An's words. Ju An shook his hand and Dajin flew into the sky. The nearby female eagle also flew up, and the two eagles circled towards Ju An's house.
Fly away.
In the afternoon, Ju An flew a helicopter to inspect the ranch alone. Wang Fan followed him twice and waited for the interest in taking the helicopter to pass before he was no longer willing to follow.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I finished reading to Nini and went back to my room. I watched TV for a while and then fell asleep.
He vaguely felt someone pushing him, and heard Dinah say: "Ann! Go and see if Nini has gone to sleep on the little lion's bed again."
Ju An rubbed his eyes: "What?".
Dinah repeated it, and Ju An had no choice but to get up from the bed. When he saw the clock on the bedside, it was already past one o'clock at night. He staggered towards his son's house.
After entering the room, she turned on the wall lamp and walked to her son's crib. She saw that the girl had already crawled into her brother's crib and was sleeping soundly with her arms around him.
Ju An had no choice but to hug the girl up. Nini rubbed her eyes in confusion: "Dad!" Then she lay on Ju An's shoulder and got ready to sleep again.
"Mom won't let you sleep with your brother, and your brother doesn't like to sleep with others," Ju An said after carrying Nini into the girl's house.
Nini murmured vaguely: "I like my brother, he has a scent."
Dinah was breastfeeding, and her son still had a good-smelling ** before weaning, which the girl liked very much. When she got up to go to the toilet at night, she would subconsciously go into her brother's room and crawl into the crib.
Ju An tried to talk to Dinah several times but it didn't work, so he had to take her back to the girl's room every time.
Dinah let her son sleep in a separate room because she was afraid that the boy would be clingy in the future. She didn't want to put the cradle in Ju An's and her bedroom. She cultivated the child's habit of sleeping alone from an early age, which would save her trouble in the future. This girl would undoubtedly be beaten as soon as she entered.
It messed up Dinah's plan.
Every night when Dinah goes to the toilet, she wakes up Ju An and asks Ju An to see if the girl is in her son's room. During the day, Dinah takes care of the children and Ju An takes charge of the night. The division of labor between the two is very clear. Basically
Ju An has to get up two or three times every night, either to hug the girl or to cry for his son. Fortunately, Ju An’s body has enjoyed the space to exercise. If he hadn’t been tortured and collapsed, I really don’t know how an office worker can take care of his children.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sympathetic to Wang Fan who was sleep deprived.
He carried the girl back to the room, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. The girl vaguely shouted: "Dad."
"Huh?" Ju An helped tuck the quilt and waited for Nini to say anything. Who knew that the girl yawned and fell asleep again. Ju An kissed Nini's forehead, returned to his bed and continued to seize the time to sleep.
, I don’t know when I will be woken up by Dinah again, but I am always prepared.
