Chapter Seventy-Eight: Organic Vineyards
Both of them were startled by the sudden sound of kicking the door, and Ye Xiaoxi's body trembled violently.
"Oh oh ......" The haughty and slightly dissatisfied husky walked in with his head held high, and Ah Huang, who was following behind, seemed to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, poked his head outside the door, and retracted.
"Ah Hua. Chen Mo roared angrily, eager to lift it and beat it.
Ye Xiaoxi patted his chest, stared at the husky speechlessly, and leaned into Chen Mo's arms again: "What time is it?"
"Seven o'clock. Chen Mo rubbed the head of the husky lying on the bed, and said speechlessly: "They come to urge me to get up almost every morning and let me go out for a walk." ”
At this time, Ye Xiaoxi really didn't have any sleepiness, and it was no longer good to lie on the bed, so he pushed Chen Mo: "Get up." ”
"Hmm. Chen Mo lowered his head, looked at Ye Xiaoxi, and felt more comfortable than ever in the warm and fiery quilt, and was reluctant to get up.
Ye Xiaoxi blinked, raised his head and kissed Chen Mo's lips: "Hurry, get up......"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Mo suddenly kissed it, her beautiful eyes widened and blinked, her two hands against Chen Mo's chest wanted to push him away, Chen Mo had already pried open Ye Xiaoxi's teeth, and the tips of her tongues touched each other soft and delicate......
Ye Xiaoxi whimpered twice, his body seemed to have no strength to push Chen Mo away, and his eyes widened and widened. Chen Mo also began to be restless with one hand, and he roamed, slowly exploring from his back to his chest, and touching the soft ...... through his clothes
Before he could feel it carefully, Ye Xiaoxi pushed Chen Mo away in fright and glared at him angrily: "Old driver...... You're such an old driver. ”
"What?" Chen Mo pretended to be stunned.
"Old driver...... Your movements and skills are full of skill. Ye Xiaoxi said with a red face.
Chen Mo's old face was hot: "Instinctive reaction...... Instinctive reaction. ”
Ye Xiaoxi asked jealously, "How many girlfriends have you had before?"
What does she look like...... I should be jealous.
Sweat!
Chen Mo's nervous mood relaxed: "There are few." ”
"Not a few, a few, a few. ”
"There aren't really many. ”
"Don't say it. Ye Xiaoxi looked aggrieved and bullied.
Chen Mo hugged her in his arms again: "Don't make trouble, be good." Get some more sleep. Chen Mo looked at Ah Huang, who was probing his brain at the door, and waved his hand. This guy shook his head and ran in, bit Ah Hua and dragged him out.
……
The restless desires slowly subsided.
Chen Mo hugged this innocent and lovely person, his mood slowly calmed down, and before he knew it, he really fell asleep.
After waking up after nine o'clock, Ye Xiaoxi didn't know when he left his arms, and there was a ding-dong sound from the kitchen downstairs.
Chen Mo went to the bathroom to take a cold shower and change his clothes, Ye Xiaoxi had already prepared breakfast, and was about to go upstairs to wake up Chen Mo.
Very simple morning, toast and fry slices of ham and much more.
"Come and try the breakfast I made. ”
Chen Mo sandwiched the ham slices with the bread slices: "It's delicious." ”
"You manage such a big manor, don't you have anything to do? I have to go back at noon and prune the ......flowers," Ye Xiaoxi said.
"I don't have to worry about the day-to-day work of the estate, I'm usually very idle. After eating, Chen Mo found a pair of pliers, pulled out the key piece left in the pickup, and replaced it with a car key: "I'll go to the manor first, you go with me or wait for me at home." ”
"How long will it take?"
"Soon, half an hour. ”
"I'll go upstairs and take a shower......"
Chen Mo kissed Ye Xiaoxi's forehead and drove to the valley to find Jeff.
Yesterday I asked Jeff to do the production cost budget form, Jeff has already produced.
There are 29 employees in the estate.
Elson, 20 vineyard workers, 4 members of the ecological planner, 4 security guards.
According to the current workers, the annual salary is 1.534 million. Then there is the approximate budget for all kinds of expenses, about 500,000 yuan.
The salaries of the four security guards are $200,000 a year.
At present, the annual expenditure of the estate is about two million. If 200 acres of vineyards were managed according to organic standards, the annual expenditure would be about 700,000 yuan more.
The table made by Jeff is very detailed, and the actual situation should be about the same.
There are pros and cons to fully transforming Canyon Estate into an organic estate.
On the upside, it is more demanding, and on the downside, it is the yield of organic vineyards. Moreover, it is more difficult for organic vineyards to grasp the quality of the grapes produced......
Another point, Chen Mo has to consider whether he can make more money. The answer is no, unless there is a collaborator like Wilser Winery.
The grapes of Canyon Estate are already selling for a very high price. Adopting organic farming has increased costs and reduced yields, and if you want to maintain your previous income, you will inevitably increase the price of grapes again, and the winemakers who buy them will not buy it?
But Canyon Estate also really needs organic vineyards as experimental sites. It is possible to work with Wilser Winery to gain experience in organic vineyard operations.
Haberon, the chief winemaker at Wilser Winery, is picking grapes in the vineyard.
Harvested by hand, there are about forty workers in the three vineyards, and they are in full swing.
Chen Mo walked over: "Hello Mr. Haberon. ”
"Hello. ”
"I've already read your proposal. I am very interested in the cooperation of organic vineyards, but some of the details and interests of the organic vineyards, we still have to study before we can give an answer, after all, it is a ten years of cooperation, I hope you can understand. Chen Mo said.
Haberon spread his hands: "On the cooperation plan, that's the highest chip we can give." The annual rent of 580,000 yuan is enough for us to buy a vineyard in ten years......"
Chen Mo smiled: "After all, it's not a one-time payment. "There are a lot of additional clauses in the cooperation agreement that do not meet the requirements that Winery Wilser can refuse to perform the contract. To achieve a certain fixed yield, to obtain organic certification within three years, if there is a natural disaster, what estate bears by itself, etc.
I went to the vineyard and took a look at the grape picking.
The first grapes were purple-red in color and not very evenly grained, that is, grapes that were not of very good quality and did not accumulate enough sugar. The grapes, which were evenly sized and full, were left unpicked and continued to accumulate sugar. Cabernet Sauvignon is now harvested with higher acidity, less sugar, but a fresh taste, and is fermented for blending.
Chen Mo knows how to make wine, but the specific process and the so-called flavor after blending are not very clear.
Of the 11.6 acres of vineyards, no more than 10 tonnes should be harvested today, with the rest not until October.
The sight of the harvest makes people happy, especially when they think of the tens of millions of dollars from the sale of grapes.
