Norman's car was a very old Toyota pickup truck, and although it was not rekindled, it could not be driven. Xiao Peng dragged Norman's car in an RV and came to Norman's house.

To be precise, this is where the Norman family estate is located. Their family runs a winery.

South Australia's wines are some of the most famous in the whole of Australia. It also has to do with the environment, after all, South Australia is one of the driest regions in the world, which also makes the grapes taste particularly good. This is because South Australia is dry and has long sunshine hours, so the grapes are high in sugar and low in water, and the wine made from the grapes here is naturally delicious.

If there are three words that describe the world's image of South Australia, it is: mountains, minerals, and wine sellers. Almost all of Australia's red wine is produced here.

The Norman family's winery is very big in Xiao Peng's eyes. It turned out to be told that they were a small winery, and they had to admire the living area of Australians, which was too big.

Entering the winery, Xiao Peng's first feeling is that it is so beautiful, it looks like an old British manor in the movie, which is a standard traceable wine, that is, a wine of origin.

After Norman parked the car with Xiao Peng, he came to a room similar to a reception room, the wall was full of red wine, Norman took a bottle casually, and Xiao Peng introduced: "Our White family has been running this St. Simon Winery for more than 100 years, but we are not afraid of your jokes, the current business is not as good as before, and the wineries in the Adelaide area are too competitive." Forget it, let's not talk about those worries. Come, get a taste of our unique Australian wines. ”

"Unique wine, what wine?" Xiao Peng was curious, aren't there only so many kinds of wine made from grapes?

Norman explained: "It's called Shiraz wine, it's different from other countries' wines, it has blueberries, pepper and spices, it's Australian style, and there are Shiraz wines in France, and the taste, the cut." Norman gave a look of disgust: "Come and taste the authentic Australian Shiraz wine. ”

Xiao Peng knows that Shiraz is a type of grape and a good material for making dry red. It is also the most widely cultivated variety in Australia, and the wine made from it, with unique ingredients, has a very pronounced pepper and blueberry flavor, which is very suitable for oak barrel aging, and can perfectly integrate the aroma of oak into the wine, this Shiraz wine is also a representative of Australian wine.

But to be honest, Xiao Peng is really not used to this taste, and he always feels weird, maybe it is for this reason that Australian red wine is not as popular as New Zealand red wine.

Norman took Xiao Peng and others to visit their wine cellar, and a row of large oak barrels three meters high looked extremely shocking, which was a large barrel for winemaking. In the cellar, there are rows of shelves, each of which is filled with oak barrels, each with a year number, and the earliest one even has the word 1882, which is also the characteristic of wine, and each vintage is stored separately.

Norman explains: "The weather is different every year, if it's very hot, we pick the grapes later so that the grapes are sweeter, and if there is more rainfall, the grapes are more acidic, so the wine is different every year." So these wines have to be arranged by vintage. ”

After speaking, Norman took out a flat wine bottle and poured Xiao Peng and the two a glass of wine: "It seems that Shiraz wine is not suitable for your taste, so how about trying this sweet wine?"

Xiao Peng tried to take a sip, and after drinking it, his eyes lit up: "This wine tastes good, a bit like eating dessert, how can it have the taste of butter toffee? It feels like eating chocolate." ”

Norman smiled: "Your description is really good, this is the special wine of our winery, if you like it, bring some when you leave, as a thank you for helping us today." ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "That's just a gesture." Don't be so polite, just buy you some wine when we go. ”

Norman wanted to say something, but Giselle walked in, gave Xiao Peng and the two an apologetic expression, and called Norman out. After Xiao Peng and the two drank the wine, they didn't see anyone back, so the two walked out curiously and found that Norman was standing in front of his car arguing with someone about something. By the time Xiao Peng walked out, the two had already ended their quarrel, and the man drove away angrily.

Xiao Peng was curious, and saw that the Normans were still standing there, so he and Yang Meng stepped forward to ask what was going on.

Norman said indignantly: "These blood-drinking car repairmen, don't take them into my hands! How much does it cost me to buy a new car?" Looking at Xiao Peng's puzzled expression, Norman replied: "In Australia, it is very cheap to buy a car, but it is very expensive to repair a car! Why do so many people buy cheap second-hand cars? If something goes wrong, they would rather buy another one than repair it, these car mechanics are bastards who drink human blood!"

Hearing him say this, Xiao Peng understood. These Australian cars cannot afford to be repaired, and the cost of repairing them has become a big burden for Australian car owners! The price of a part reaching consumers can be more than 20 times higher than the factory price! Some people have made statistics that a Corolla in Australia is about more than 20,000 Australian dollars, but if you buy parts to manufacture it, the cost may be close to 250,000 yuan, or even more!

This is really not blind, it costs more than 2,000 Australian dollars to change the bumper, who can stand it?

Of course, choosing non-original parts can be cheaper, about 2/3 of the price of original parts, but just like that, ordinary people can't stand it!

So in Australia, if there is a problem with the car, go to the 4S store for a few days in the insurance, and if it is not covered by the insurance, many people simply do not repair it. So in Australia, it is common to see all kinds of broken cars speeding on the road.

Yang Meng walked to the front of the car and looked: "Norman, you take me to your tool room to have a look." "Foreign families generally have tool rooms with all kinds of tools and so on.

After a while, Yang Meng came back with a toolbox, and Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What?

Yang Meng nodded: "The key is the problem of aging lines, the rescue just now is timely, there is no big situation, according to the package of this car, it is no problem to deal with it for two or three years after repairing." ”

Norman was overjoyed: "Is what you said true?"

Yang Meng shrugged: "Even if it's fake, you don't have any other way, right? ”

When Norman heard it, Yang Meng was right, no matter what, it could only be handed over to Yang Meng to deal with.

In view of Yang Meng's obsessive-compulsive disorder, after eating a little casually for dinner, he continued to repair the car, Xiao Peng had nothing to do, so he walked out of the winery by himself to see this strange place.

South Australia is characterized by drought and a large number of seaside thorn grasses. In the Australian mouth, this kind of seaside thorn grass is also called shoe grass, which means that they are as hard as old boots, and it is the only grass that can grow in the most barren and arid soils of Australia. Across Australia, at least 1/5 of the grass grows. Here in South Australia, the grass is very common, and that's because of the lack of herbivores. Even kangaroos can't chew on this grass.

And it is not uncommon for animals to eat this grass, walking on the grassland, sometimes you will see raised mounds of red soil, which are the nests of termites. Since termites are the only animals that eat the stinging grass, in Australia, although everyone knows that termites are very harmful, they cannot eliminate termites in large quantities, otherwise the stinging grass will be rampant again。。。。。。 It is indeed not easy for the kangaroo people to obtain.

And this termite is food for centipedes, spiders, small lizards, anteaters, skinks and the like. Don't underestimate termites, this kind of animal that is closely related to cockroaches in the eyes of some animals, that is, 'walking protein', if the number of termites changes, the number of these small lizards, spiders, centipedes and the like will decrease, and if their number decreases, the number of those large lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. will also be affected, which will lead to problems in the entire Australian biological chain system。。。。。。

From this point of view, it is not that the kangaroo country does not want to govern those animals, but it does not dare to govern。。。。。。

When Xiao Peng went out for a stroll at night, he found N species of lizards, including venomous snakes such as the inland Taipan snake and the eastern cobra. There are also mammals such as red kangaroos, wallabies, yellow kangaroos, opossums, burrowing maniacs, and other mammals, and already parrot owls are birds.

It is said that there are a lot of marsupials in Australia, there are more than 200 kinds of marsupials in the world, and Australia itself has more than 170 species, take the koala as an example, the scientific name is koala, in fact, there are four kinds of wombat alone in Australia, in addition to koala, there are Tasmanian wombats, Queensland woolly nose wombats, and South Australian woolly nose wombas. In fact, the most precious thing is not the koala koala, but the Queensland woolly nose wombat, which is currently Australia's most endangered wild animal. Much more precious than koalas.

Xiao Peng ran around for most of the night, please, Australia has a wide range of animals, but also collected a lot of animal genes, now this number should be blocked by the mysterious person's mouth, right?

When he went back, he found that Yang Meng was not sleeping, but was busy with the computer in the car.

"What are you doing, why don't you sleep?" Xiao Peng asked curiously. "The broken car was fixed?"

Yang Meng smiled: "Lao Yang is out of the horse, a top one, a small CASE, I'm thinking here, let's not come to play in vain, isn't it? We have so many cameras in the car, and we take a lot of scenery, I'm sorting out the video here, and it's good to make a travel commemoration." Seeing that you were really handsome when you grabbed the gun and knocked Luke unconscious that day, it's good to send you an online scam to the little girl. ”

Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "What do you mean by deceiving a little girl? But your suggestion is not bad, and it is not bad to take some videos and keep them as memories." I've got some good stuff here. After speaking, Xiao Peng walked to the rest area, and handed Yang Meng a large bag from the ring, which was full of photographic equipment, and a DJI None - man-machine: "Look at these things, right? ”

Yang Meng was stunned: "Where did this special thing come from? You're not Doraemon, right?"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly and explained, "Did we buy it at KMART when we came?" ”

Yang Meng was speechless and pouted: "Xiao Peng, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, but don't talk nonsense and come here." After speaking, he pointed to the box of the JVC camera and said, "It says: limited to sales in Chinese mainland." RUB, DON'T TELL ME IT'S IN CHINA'S KMART! Is there such a thing in China? You're not honest, so I won't talk to you. ”

Xiao Peng: "。。。。。。 Look, there's a flying saucer!"

Yang Meng really looked up: "Dude, I didn't see the flying saucer, but can you tell me what that person does?
