Chapter Eighty-Three: The Iron Box

Straight up the steep slope, the car climbs up, and it feels very exciting.

Ye Xiaoxi screamed: "Can you climb up?"

"Yes, don't let go of the accelerator. Chen Mo got up from the stool, grabbed the railing on the roof of the car, and shouted.

"Hey, be careful. Lacey shouted from behind, watching them climb halfway up the slope before following up.

Dome hills, bare summits.

When you drive to the top of the hill, you can see a lot of wheel marks on the hard clods and a lot of charcoal barbecue marks. Except for Chen Mo's occasional visit, other people in the manor will also come over to play, climb mountains and cross the road, and have a picnic and barbecue.

Those who can climb to the top of the mountain are pickup trucks, off-road, and SUVs. Come for a barbecue, the scenery here is unique, 865 meters above sea level, you can see almost the entire canyon estate, you can see the Napa Valley, and the Atlas Peak appellation that corresponds to the Verde Mountain appellation.

The clear blue sky is overhead, and the white clouds like marshmallows seem to be able to reach it by jumping up and stretching out your hand.

Ye Xiaoxi jumped downstairs from the car, ran over to look at the slope that had climbed up, and shouted, "Lacey, come on." ”

"No problem. Lacey responded, and the car slowly climbed onto it.

"You should give the big throttle, just step on the bottom and rush up quickly, it's great. Chen Mo said.

"OK, I'll try again. Lacey smiled, turned the car, and prepared to go down and come up again.

Ye Xiaoxi stopped her: "Stop playing, come over and help me take a photo." If you see the white clouds like horses, help me take a picture of them. ”

"She plays with hers, and I'll take pictures for you. Chen Mo hurriedly said.

"Do you take pictures?" I still trust Lacey......" Ye Xiaoxi handed the phone to Lacey.

Lacey shook her head: "I feel like I'm superfluous, I knew I wouldn't be here." ”

Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly went up and grabbed Lacey's arm, revealing a grinning smirk: "Quick, help me take a photo." ”

Chen Mo also took out his mobile phone and secretly took a picture of Ye Xiaoxi's bright smile.

"Why did you bring us to the top of the mountain?" Ye Xiaoxi took a photo, came over to hold Chen Mo's arm, and gestured an old-fashioned scissor hand: "You also smile." ”

Lacey helped take a photo of the two, and Chen Mo said: "The manor is opening up a new park, a total of 700 acres, and plans to complete the planting by the end of the year." The decoration of the vineyard, that is, ecological planning, will be planted with flowers and plants that can sense in advance whether the vines are sick or not. I don't know what flowers you like?"

The vineyard is planted with other plants, such as the French vineyard, which has a tradition of planting roses, with a rose planted in front of each row of grapes. Roses are very sensitive plants that wilt first when pests and diseases strike, and can serve as an early warning for vineyard managers. In addition, the roses from flowering to withering are another part of the vineyard, which plays a role in the beauty of the vineyard during the growing season.

In addition, after the end of autumn, the aisles of the vineyard can be planted with flowers and plants, which not only have an ornamental effect, but also prevent the growth of weeds and increase the economic income of the plantation. In Napa, mustard or rape flowers are grown in many vineyards......

"How about planting lavender?" Ye Xiaoxi rubbed the corners of his clothes: "Like a vineyard in Provence." ”

"Uh...... OK. Chen Mo was embarrassed and nodded. The vineyards of the Provence delon region are often next to the lavender groves. They are grown separately...... Chen Mo: This is going to be planted together. Mixed cultivation of lavender and vineyards is certainly not possible, and only the fields can be divided and planted separately.

"I don't know much about vineyards. Ye Xiaoxi saw Chen Mo's expression and knew that her proposal made Chen Mo embarrassed, and said: "Lavender seems to be planted alone, if it doesn't work, forget it, you can plant a circle of roses around the vineyard." ”

"This one does. ”

The planning of these 700 acres of land was too hasty, and there was no time to plan it properly.

Moreover, he had just inherited the manor at that time, and he did not have a perfect idea of the future of the manor. If the manor is planned from the new now, Chen Mo will definitely listen to Ye Xiaoxi's opinion, reserve land to plant lavender gardens, and build the canyon manor into a tourist manor.

"Let's go to the new park. ”

In the new area for viticulture, the vineyard has reserved space, such as a dirt road 3 or 2.5 meters wide, and the road is two meters wide from the area where the grapes are grown, which is reserved land, usually planted with turf......

The 700-acre new campus is divided into a total of 99 vineyards, with the largest vineyard being 11 acres and the smallest being 4 acres.

For every 50 acres also known as the Regional Vineyards, a 2-metre-wide reserve is reserved at the edge of the vineyard, plus the width of the reserved land between the road and the opposite vineyard, for a width of 7 metres between the Regional Vineyards. Separated by a road and separated by meadows on both sides, the main purpose is to prevent the vineyard from spreading infectious diseases on a large scale.

The 700-acre new park, in addition to roads and reserved land, has an actual planting area of 650 acres, with a uniform planting density of 1.5 times 1.53 for mechanical planting, and about 1.15 million grapes are planted.

With such a planting density, it is a waste of land, but this piece of land in the Canyon Manor is arid, the soil fertility is poor, and the fertility of the soil is also poor. The planting density of 1.5 times 1.53 meters is convenient for mechanical operation, secondly, the soil needs to be improved for a long time after the vines are planted, and thirdly, it is convenient for the ecological planning of the estate.

Napa Valley, the most famous wine in the United States. In California, Napa vineyards account for only 4 percent of the state's vineyard area and 30 percent of the state's total production value.

In Napa, the vineyard doesn't have to be a lot of grapes, but it has to be of good quality. Good quality can make up for the loss caused by the reduction in production, and even higher income.

Coming to the new park, Chen Mo explained to Ye Xiaoxi the future work and future planning of Canyon Manor.

Ye Xiaoxi wasn't actually interested in these things, but just saw that Chen Mo was looking forward to the future with great interest, and kept nodding vigorously 'mmmmmmmm', happy for Chen Mo......

"When the new park is completed, I still want to develop tourism. For example, the winery project, I have a unique wine here, and if it is released, it will definitely cause a huge sensation......"

Ye Xiaoxi puffed out his cheeks: "I don't know how to drink, and I don't understand the quality of wine." ”

"I'll teach you. Chen Mo smiled.

"Neither will I. Lacey said faintly beside her.

"You learn it yourself...... If you drink too much, the way of nature is good or bad. Chen Mo glanced at Laixi, who disturbed him in love.

"I'm really at the wrong place. Alas, I shouldn't have come here to see you two kissing me and me, sadistic. ”

Ye Xiaoxi smiled and looked at Zhang Feng who was walking in the distance: "Someone is coming." ”

"He is Zhang Feng, and the development and planting of the new park is what his company does. Chen Mo took Ye Xiaoxi's hand, walked over to Zhang Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang." ”

"Mr. Chen. Zhang Feng smiled and looked at Ye Xiaoxi: "Who is this?"

"My girlfriend, Ye Xiaoxi. ”

"Mr. Zhang is good. Ye Xiaoxi was a little shy and shouted.

"Call me Brother Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, it sounds awkward. Zhang Feng said and looked at the two men next to him, who stepped aside.

Ye Xiaoxi was about to let go of Chen Mo's hand when he saw it, and Chen Mo held it hard: "What is Brother Zhang looking for me?" There is nothing between himself and Zhang Feng that Ye Xiaoxi can't let know.

Zhang Feng smiled wryly, took out a rusty iron box from his briefcase, and handed it to Chen Mo: "This is found in a demolished dilapidated house during the previous construction, and there are four gold coins, two silver coins, three gold bars, and a diary. After thinking about it, I'll give it back to you. ”
