Chapter 328: How about opening a restaurant
A short time later, several pickup trucks arrived, and Alexander's height and physique stood out in the crowd.
Cowboys laughed and shouted, rolled large oak barrels more than half a man high to the river, rolled up trouser legs, took off their shoes and went down to the river to wash.
There are more than 20 barrels of pale red in color, tied tightly at both ends with iron hoops, and the wine stains left over from previous years melt when the water melts, staining the river with a lilac color.
Han Xuan took a deep breath, as if he could still smell the aroma of wine, a cowboy didn't grasp the wooden barrel, was carried away by the water, hurriedly chased downstream, raised his arms and shouted: "Barrel!
The cowboys laughed like crazy when they saw him.
The oak barrels were cleaned and the juice extraction equipment was brought in.
There is a lever next to the cylinder, which can drive the iron to press down, lift it up and try it, a little difficult, Han Xuan turned his head and asked them: "This is all rusty, can it still be used?"
"I'm afraid not. John came over and said, "It's not well maintained in the warehouse, and I forget about it when I don't use it, so I can only juice it by hand." ”
"I've got gloves in my car, hurry up, it's getting dark. Alexander hurried out, walked over to the tractor, untied the rope, and began to move the Cabernet Sauvignon, placing a basket on the side of the Mori River to rinse.
The others plucked the washed grapes and threw them into the barrels, and Ryan saw the boy come to help, and said with a smile, "Just pick the grapes, you can't have those stalks." ”
"Well, got it. ”
Han Xuan grabbed the bunches of grapes and picked them quickly, "How long does it take to make the wine?"
"After this time, we have to ferment for half a month, and then clarify the cellar for a period of time, about nine months, and you can drink it in six months, but the taste is not very good, and the wine we used to make in the pasture was good for a long time. ”
Ryan said. "Those wineries in France have a unique technology, the wine can be drunk in an hour after opening, the taste is different at different times, we make it ourselves, and the wine is poured out for ten minutes, and the fruity aroma is light. If you can't sell it at a price, people usually pay six or seven dollars a bottle when they come to buy it. ”
"So cheap? Let's do it this this year, keep the sake for yourself, and ask the winemaker to help you brew it later." More than a dozen people quickly filled a bucket, and after Han Xuan finished speaking, he saw Alexander go to the river to find a stone, wash it and move it here, wipe his hands and retreat.
He lifted the large stone and smashed it in the bucket with great force, splashing him with fuchsia grape juice. He wiped his face with his hand and went to pick grapes.
"Is that okay?"
"If the skin is broken, go back and put some sugar to ferment, seal and hide for a few days. ”
In the distance, there was another sound of a tractor, and then it stopped on the side of the road and a group of people came down.
When Old Patton saw that they were all looking at him, he explained, "The boss promised to give Gonzalez Jr. five hundred bottles of wine, and the men from his ranch helped us make it." ”
John looked at the grape juice on his body. Helplessly, he said: "Then it's better to give them these pieces." ”
"I didn't know just now, let's come along. Get it done!" Old Patton cried as he rolled up his sleeves, and when he heard a burst of laughter, he turned around, "What?"
"It's nothing, I just think it's funny that you talk in a leaky voice. Han Xuan looked at him and said.
Barton touched the missing tooth and grinned, "I'll be fine when I get used to it."
Go home with Daddy first. He didn't drive out, chatting with each other and walking a long way quickly.
When he came to the car, Han's father walked to the driver's seat as a matter of course, and when he saw his son staring at him and not getting into the car, he reacted for a few seconds. He said, "You want to open it, okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, I feel furious in my heart when I see it, drive it slowly." ”
"Now go home. Fasten his seatbelt, Han Xuan asked him, the Ferrari muffled, and quickly turned around and drove away.
"Otherwise, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the orchard. ”
"Okay, I went there once when I first planted, and I don't know what it turned out of, Mr. Miller shouldn't have gotten off work yet......"
Herds of Holstein cows were scattered in the grass, the grass had been cut and some stakes were left, and some of the cows ran to the hills to graze, flapping their tails and strolling.
Pointing to a group of black Danma cattle, Father Han said: "Now the number of cattle in the pasture is enough, and there are more than 400 cattle that can be bought this year, all of which are about one year old and are fattening in the pasture. ”
"After a few years, I can finally sell it, who will buy it? and hand it over to my grandfather's company to sell?"
"I didn't give it to him this time, I couldn't sell it at a price in the supermarket, so I asked people to contact some high-end restaurants, and more than 50 of them have already been ordered.
But they only know Japanese Kobe beef, and they don't believe me very much, there are so many left. If you can't sell it, you should breed cattle first, and when they run out, you will know what happens to our family's meat.
Isn't the price of $600 a pound for grade 5A and $350 a pound for grade 4A? A cow is $120,000, and it can sell so much, which is beyond my expectations. ”
"A grade 5A steak sells for more than 200 dollars in high-end restaurants, and a serving of less than 50 grams can be sold for 4,000 dollars just for one pound of meat, and the cost of raising it is high, and the price you offer is quite low, so people don't believe it!"
The wind poured in, and the ears were whistling, Han Xuan said loudly, passing by the residential area, pushing the gear to speed up, "If you sell 5A-grade meat, you directly ask the restaurant for a thousand dollars a pound, maybe you can sell more!
"Eat my whole cow, if you don't taste it, you won't be able to sell it! People have to sign a contract to guarantee that it tastes like that, otherwise they won't buy it!"
"If you want me to say, our family opens our own restaurant! It doesn't cost much, as long as we do a good job of decoration, whether it's beef, sheep, vegetables, or seafood and fruits, we have them in our house!"
Father Han suddenly became energetic, turned around and wanted to speak, the wind poured into his throat, and he choked and coughed a few times, "Open slower, open your own restaurant?" I have thought about it before, but I am not a good cook!"
"It's not easy, pay a headhunter to poach from all over the world! I'll have someone arrange it for you. ”
"No, that's boring, I'll come by myself, look at your left, and the airport will be built here." ”
"It's a good location, and it's better to move a few hundred meters to the west, or we'll cut down the birch trees." Han Xuan quickly looked at it, looked ahead and said.
The hands showed a hundred and a few yards, there were more corners ahead, and the throttle slowed down a bit.
Passing by the junction with Smith Ranch, the belgian blue cattle with thick limbs appeared, they were all muscular maniacs, and when they saw a car coming, they chased with their legs and mooed.
Dad was distracted by the side, and Han Xuan knew that he wanted to do something about the restaurant, so he didn't bother.
After a few minutes, we arrived at the orchard, and the hills were planted with low shrubs, and the leaves were all cut off, and it looked like blueberries.
The road was a bit bumpy, and the downshift was going forward at twenty or thirty yards, and there were trees planted on both sides.
In some places, blueberries grow on the top of the slope, grapes on the mountainside, and cherries at the bottom of the mountain.
When he saw a group of people planting trees, he raised his hand and patted his father on the shoulder, "Mr. Miller is here ......" (to be continued.) )
