Chen Mo put the photo away, closed the door, and left the wooden house.

To the right of the hut was a small vineyard, and the vines in it were almost as thick as their arms.

If the vines here are not old vines transplanted from elsewhere, the only possibility is that they were irrigated with the source spirit.

Chen Mo was more inclined to the latter, and the vines used source spirit irrigation to make the vines grow so thick. The grapes used in the wine made by Duanmuqing should also come here......

The vines are stout and have budded to the point where they need to be pruned.

The place where he used to live was too lonely. If you were to be myself, you would definitely go crazy if you lived here alone for a few years......

On the way back, Chen Mo's mobile phone rang.

"Hey. ”

"I'm back, haven't slept yet? ”

"It's just morning ...... here"

The call from Rayong, this is Chen Mo's best buddy, he was in the same dormitory in high school, and he was later admitted to the same university. After graduating from college, the two also stayed in the same city...... Later, I learned that this guy was a native of Rongcheng, a rich second generation. When I was in high school, that guy's temper was the same as his name, a 'brave' word, he got into a fight in Rongcheng and was expelled from the school and transferred to Hongcheng High School.

"Where are you?" asked Luo Yong, stunned for a moment.

Chen Mo took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one: "Greater United States of America." ”

"Why did you go to the United States, I just got off the plane, and I'm going to find you out to eat chicken. ”

"It's a long story......"

"Then you make a long story short. ”

"I came to inherit the legacy of an elder, and that's it. ”

"Damn! really?"

"Believe it or not, buddy is going to settle here. ”

"QQ video ......," Luo Yong said, hung up the phone, and sent a QQ video call a few seconds later.

Chen Mo gestured to the camera with scissors: "Looking at the vineyard behind me, can you guess where this is?"

"Napa?"

"Clever. ”

"I'll go, you're really in the United States?"

"Paralyzed, believe it or not. ”

"At least a hundred acres of vineyards next to you, all yours?" Rayong exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"It's just a part, 200 acres in total, that's 1,200 acres. What's the matter, I'm stunned. ”

"Why don't I have your good luck......"

chatting, unconsciously returned to the door of the house, Stephen stood in the yard and moved his body, and saw Chen Mo say hello......

Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at the camera: "I'm home, I still have something to do here." If you have time, apply for a passport and come and play. ”

"Yes. Hurry up and install the network cable, and have time to eat chicken together. ”

"Okay, bye-bye. ”

"Bye-bye. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Mo walked towards Stephen with a smile on his face: "Good morning." ”

"Morning ......" Stephen raised his eyebrows and looked up at the sky, the sun was slanting above, and it was almost noon.

"Is Elson up?"

"Cooking. ”

In the living room, there is the aroma of rice and braised beef.

Had breakfast...... No, it's lunch.

Chen Mo and the three of them acted separately. Elson went to the agency to post the job posting, and Stephen took Chen Mo out to familiarize himself with Napa's environment......

Buy a computer, go to a broadband provider, and go to the wine market......

To run a vineyard, you should also know about the market.

The Napa Wine Market offers most of the Napa Valley's wines......

"The most famous wine in Napa Valley is Cabernet Sauvignon, which usually sells for upwards of $9, Cabernet Sauvignon for $10 to $15 accounts for about 40 percent, and there are many ...... for $15 to $20 Cabernet Sauvignon."

"A dozen yuan a bottle of wine, isn't it expensive?" Chen Mo, a rookie who had just arrived, asked suspiciously.

Stephen pursed his lips and blinked his eyes: "The wholesale price does not include tax, and when you arrive in San Francisco, a 13-yuan wine will be sold for 15 yuan a bottle." In addition, the best-selling wine supermarket in the United States costs 3 yuan. Compared to other U.S. regions, Napa Valley wines are undoubtedly much, much more expensive. ”

"How many bottles of wine can be made on an acre under the Napa appellation system?"

"The Napa appellation system?" Stephen tuaned into his glasses.

"I remember reading a story about a French wine region where different regions limit the yield per acre of vineyards. There are no clear restrictions here in Napa Valley?"

"There are no clear rules, but wineries and plantations that demand the quality of the grapes limit the production of grapes. After all, the yield is too high to produce enough sugar to produce grapes to make wine. Sweetened fermented wines are forbidden in Napa Valley. In general, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards produce 5 tonnes of grapes per acre. But grapes on plantations tend to be yield-oriented, such as vineyards at Canyon Estate, and ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, which can yield up to 7 to 8 tons per acre. ”

Stephen touched his chin and continued: "One ton of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes can make about 750 bottles of standard wine, and at a 5-ton yield, an acre of vineyard will produce about 3,750 bottles." In the actual brewing and bottling process, there should be no less than 3,000 bottles. I don't know much about the winemaking industry......"

Stephen went on to talk about a census of American supermarkets about wine.

Napa wines, which are commonly found in supermarkets, sell for an average of $16.4. Wines from the Sonoma appellation sell for an average of $13.6. The average selling price of Central Valley wine is $8.2...... as well as several other appellations.

Napa Valley can be said to be Bordeaux or even Burgundy in the United States, recognized for its great fame and high land prices. According to last year's data, the average land price per acre of vineyards in Napa Valley was as high as $260,000 per acre, while in California's Central Valley real estate region, vineyard land prices were less than $50,000 per acre. In addition, the most famous grape growing region in Oregon has vineyard prices of only $50,000-70,000 per acre......

"The high price of land, the fact that it is a well-known vineyard tourist area, and the high level of consumption have led to an increase in labor costs...... According to data from February this year, the average price of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in Napa Valley last year was US$6,829 per tonne. High-quality production areas, vineyards of a certain age, the output of Cabernet Sauvignon sold for 20,000 tons. ”

Wandering around the wine market until dark, the two of them didn't buy a bottle of wine. Came out and called Elson, who had called him for dinner, but the guy had already gone back to the manor......

Passing by a pet store, Chen Mo stopped and said, "Hey, wait." I want to have a pet ......"

"Go in and have a look. Stephen looked back.

As soon as he walked into the pet, he didn't have time to look at other pets, a chubby little golden retriever came running with his tongue out, and hugged Chen Mo's ankle tightly with one paw.

Chen Mo smiled, bent down and rubbed the little guy's head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... The little one was so naughty that he escaped from the cage again. Sorry...... "A blonde woman with a nice figure came running and bent down to pick up the little golden retriever.

The little guy struggled restlessly in the arms of the blonde woman, making a milky cry, but his little eyes were looking at Chen Mo tightly, pitiful.

"It's just a pet for sale?"

Chen Mo was not fluent in English pronunciation, and after Stephen translated it, the blonde woman understood: "Yes." Are you going to take it with you?" The blonde woman looked at Chen Mo and blinked: "The little guy doesn't have a name yet, he's three months old, and he's very smart, but he's too lively and active." But I feel like it seems to like you very much. ”

Chen Mo caught the little golden retriever, and the little golden retriever rubbed in his arms, sticking out his tongue to lick his face......

"The little guy is very close to you, so it's better to buy it. Stephen shrugged and laughed.

"That, I'm going to raise a cat......" The little golden retriever seemed to understand Chen Mo's words, and barked twice unhappily. Chen Mo shook his head amusefully when he saw this: "Okay." That's it...... How much does this Golden Retriever cost?"

"$1,100. ”

"Such an expensive ......" Chen Mo has just received the 'cheap price' in the United States, and now a golden retriever costs 1,100 US dollars.

"$1,100 includes its six-disease vaccine. ”

Stephen nodded and told Chen Mo in Mandarin, "This is a very reasonable price. This golden retriever has a nice coat color......"
