After squatting in the villa for another five or six days, it hadn't even started to rain yet. Ju An felt increasingly uneasy, not because of anything else, but mainly because this year's space water had not yet been poured into the well in the garden.
Well, plus the weather is so hot, this thing will make a big loss this year, so why not, even though I don’t drink red wine very much, the bottles are filled with red dollars. (/baojian/宝盈) Early this morning,
So I took Wang Fan and drove to the vineyard to have a look.
The car drove out of the villa area. Wang Fan sat in the passenger seat and called Bernster, the winemaker of the winery. After saying a few words, he put down the phone, turned to Ju An and said: "
Burnst is already waiting for us. You said that this time you are not as anxious as the emperor and the eunuch, but suddenly you have become a good boss and know how to care about your own industry."
"I just noticed that the weather was weird. We happened to be nearby. Let's go see the vineyards." Ju An said to Wang Fan while driving and looking at the road.
We went directly from the starting point to the end point and followed the navigation without fear of getting lost. When passing through the city of Los Angeles, Ju An saw the guy opposite the city hall entrance. He hadn't left yet. A small tent was set up illegally at the door of the government.
Pointing to the white guy sitting on the deck chair, he said to Wang Fan: "This petitioner is awesome, he is still here this year."
Wang Fan stretched out his head and looked at the white man on the side of the road. It couldn't be said to be an open tent, it could only be said to be a big white parasol, surrounded by white cloth, forming a simple tent with two
There is a sign on it, which says that he is opposed to the California government charging taxes or reducing expenditures. Two years ago, Ju An saw this guy squatting here. He still hasn’t left. I don’t know if I haven’t worked in the past few years.
What to survive on.
There are a lot of cars on the road now, and there are slight traffic jams from time to time. At this stall, a man who looked like a tourist walked up to this guy and asked to take a photo with this white guy. A few meters away from the illegally built
There were two policemen standing on the roadside talking with their police dogs, as if they were waiting to cross the road.
They don't even look at the illegal buildings nearby. It's very irresponsible. There is no specialized urban management profession here in the United States. The patrol officers usually have to do this work themselves. The American government is relatively poor and cannot afford to hire these part-time workers.
Moreover, American labor is also expensive, so we have to let the police take the role of domestic urban management when they have nothing to do.
"It's such a hot day, squatting here, no matter what you do at night, there is no air conditioning or anything." Wang Fan was actually concerned about other people's heatstroke prevention and cooling conditions.
Ju An said with a smile: "Don't worry about it. Maybe they are protesting in three shifts, with several people taking turns to be on duty at the government gate." Don't think that this situation can't happen. There are all kinds of strange protests here in the United States.
I have seen so much over the years that I don’t have any tricks. To paraphrase a sentence, there is no way you can’t do it, only you can’t think of it.
The two of them started talking about this person who had been working in front of the government for several years. After a while, the traffic started to move.
Ju An drove the car and joked to Wang Fan: "The United States is busy enough in China. These netizens directly regarded the White House as the petition office, and also asked Xiao Aohei to stipulate that the tofu must only be salty and not salty.
"If you put sugar, you don't know how troublesome Ohei is." Ju An wanted to laugh when he remembered seeing this message on the White House website.
Pfft! Wang Fan laughed when he heard this: "That's a bunch of people who are just idle and miserable."
The two people were driving, and some were chatting and joking. They felt that time passed a lot faster, and they quickly drove out of the city. Walking up the hillside and entering the mountain forest, they suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped a lot. Waiting
When we arrived at the entrance of the vineyard valley, it was getting hot again. The tall trees were almost gone, and we could only see patches of vineyards everywhere.
Ju An drove the car and followed Wang Fan to talk nonsense, and then looked at the grapes on both sides of the road from time to time. It was obvious that the hot weather had an impact on the grapes. Many leaves were drooping listlessly due to the sun. But these vineyards belonged to others.
, it has nothing to do with Ju'an. Although it is not your own, your own winery still has to select part of the wine from nearby vineyards.
The car drove through a gate. On the square gate, there were words written in cursive English like "Golden Eagle Feather". This was when I arrived at my own vineyard. I immediately felt a different scene. Although Ye Zi was not too energetic,
But it's much better than what I saw just now. At least I didn't see a few drooping ones, as if they were dehydrated. At least the aura of space water has not completely disappeared yet. The growth of grapes is quite gratifying, with bunches of green grapes like
They are small agates hanging on a grape trellis.
We drove to the door of the winery, and as soon as we got out of the car, Burnst stood at the door waving to the two of them, and Ju An and Wang Fan walked over with a smile.
"Old Bern! His complexion seems to be getting better and better," Wang Fan said to Bernst.
Bernst laughed loudly and said: "The winery's wine is so famous now, of course I am in a good mood." After that, he led Ju An and Wang Fan into the office.
Ju An asked Burnst: "We are on vacation nearby. It hasn't rained for many days. It won't have much impact on our grapes."
Burnst asked: "There will definitely be an impact, but it won't be as big as other vineyards. If it continues like this, this year's grapes will ripen much earlier, and the yield will be much lower. There are some vineyards nearby.
Expenses have already been made to remove some of the grapes from the vines.”
"Are we planning to reduce the number of grapes?" It's enough to know that others are reducing the number of grapes. The most important thing is to see if the number of grapes is decreasing in your own garden.
Bernst said: "I haven't thought of this step yet. I am going to observe and observe first. If things continue like this, we may also have to consider reducing the number of grapes to allow the remaining grapes to develop better."
Ju An nodded after hearing this, and then said to Burnst: "Find a hat for me and Fan, I'm going to go to the grape fields to have a look."
After hearing what Ju An said, Burnst turned around and walked to his office, and then brought out two large wide-brimmed hats. They were not cowboy hats, but rather like a smaller version of a Mexican hat. The entire brim of the hat could almost
Covered shoulders.
Ju An and Wang Fan took the hats and stuck them on their heads, and followed Burnst towards the vineyard.
When he got to the field, Ju An squatted next to a long grape net and looked at the grapes on the net. When he walked in and took a closer look, he discovered that many grapes had red threads on them. Indeed, this year
The grapes ripened earlier than when I saw them before, and they were probably still small at this time.
"Now the grapes in our garden are the best." After saying this, Bernst shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, the grapes in our vineyard are the best every year. This year there is less rain, it is hotter, and the sunshine is relatively abundant.
, It’s a relatively good year, but it’s a bit too early to say this now. If it continues like this, it will be perfect with a little drizzle.” Burnst squatted next to Ju An and said with a smile.
After looking at the grapes, they were roughly the same. Ju An, Wang Fan and Bernst wandered to the edge of the large wellhead, which still had a steel mesh on it. He stretched his head and looked inside for a while.
Burnst said: "The water here is good. It is probably connected to some underground water veins. The water level has not dropped at this time. Now we rely on it for watering twice a day in the morning and evening."
Ju An smiled and turned around, sitting on the edge of the well. The edge was already hot from the sun. After sitting for a while, Ju An moved his buttocks down. While Wang Fan and Bernst were chatting about grapes,
Then he put his hands behind his back and put the space water prepared yesterday into the well.
That's it for the grapes. After seeing this, Ju An and Wang Fan went with Burnst to see the vineyard workshop, followed some workers to say hello and so on. As for the first time barrel master,
Of course Ju An was going to chat. The old man was now commanding seven or eight people. He was obviously different from when he was squatting and looking at the oak barrels standing next to the broken workshop. His voice was much louder.
When the three people entered the wine cellar, they suddenly felt that the heat outside had disappeared. The entire wine cellar was filled with barrels of red wine. Ju An reached out and patted the barrels, and then looked at the label on the barrels.
It was a wine from two years ago. The entire wine cellar was filled with the aroma of oak barrels mixed with wine.
Wang Fan looked at the oak barrels surrounding him, smiled and said to Ju An: "Think about it, when we first took over, the entire wine cellar was sold out, and now this looks like a winery.
, the entire large wine cellar is filled with fine wines." Then he suddenly thought of what happened to the old winemaker he met for the first time, so he asked Burnst: "The old winery,
What's going on with the old brewer who litigated the case?"
Burnst shook his head and said: "Since losing the lawsuit, I have owed a lot of debt. I heard that I went to a small red wine company that just opened, and it seems to be in Chile or somewhere in South America. The specific situation is unknown.
"It's too clear." Who cares about a loser in wine-gathered California.
"What a pity, old man." Wang Fan reached out and patted the oak barrel and said, "If you sell the grapes to us, you might be able to make a fortune. Fortunately, you didn't buy them at that time, otherwise they would have fallen into our hands."
Now Wang Fan and Miles all think that the grapes are ripe due to the unique climate of the year. Who in the right mind would have thought that Ju An has a huge killer weapon in his hand.
I don’t know. The reason why Ju An doesn’t want to buy it is not that he can’t raise it well, but because he dislikes the old man’s asking price. He thinks that the things he cultivated in the water of his own space are too expensive to sell to his buddies. How can such a good thing happen?
At that time, Ju An lost his temper. It had nothing to do with whether Ju An was forward-looking or not.
