One Hundred and Three, Planting Grapes (I)
Tang Ming parked the car in the yard, got out of the car with a few bottles of wine, and when he walked into the house, he saw his parents sitting in the living room watching TV.
Su Huiqin said: "Son, you are back, have you eaten at noon, do you need me to make you something to eat?"
"Mom, don't eat, I'm not hungry now, let's eat together at night. Tang Ming shook his head and asked, "Where did Cornelia go?"
Su Huiqin said: "It seems that I went outside to ride a horse." ”
"Oh, I'm going to get the wine to the cellar. Tang Ming said a word, turned around and walked towards the wine cellar.
After putting these bottles of wine away, Tang Ming came out of the cellar and walked outside, and as soon as he walked near the stable, he saw Cornelia riding chestnuts galloping on the grass, and her sassy heroic posture reminded Tang Ming of the first time he saw Cornelia.
Cornelia also saw Tang Ming, controlled the chestnut and ran towards Tang Ming, and after getting close to Tang Ming, she slowed down, turned over and got off the chestnut, and led the chestnut to Tang Ming's side.
"Herod. When Chestnut saw Tang Ming, he hissed happily.
"That's good. Tang Ming smiled and patted the big head of the chestnut.
Cornelia smiled and asked, "How is it, how many wineries have you seen, have you gained anything?"
Tang Ming said: "The harvest is very great, I not only watched, but also partnered with Tony to buy a winery, and when I have time, I will take you over to see, the scenery in the winery is very beautiful, very suitable for vacation." ”
Cornelia said, "Didn't you say to go and see, why did you suddenly buy another winery?" ”
"Hehe...... Tang Ming laughed a few times and said, "It's nothing sudden, it's not sudden, I bought it if I like it." ”
Cornelia smiled and asked, "Is this what Chinese netizens often say about being rich and capricious?"
Tang Ming was surprised: "You even know this sentence, it seems that you have been wandering around the Internet in China these days!"
Cornelia smirked and said, "Of course, I have also registered accounts on several big forums in China, and although there are many Chinese characters that I can't read, I am slowly learning. ”
Tang Ming stretched out his thumb and said sincerely: "My dear, you are so powerful. ”
They wandered outside for a while, and then returned to the house at supper.
During the meal, Tang Ming saw that Tang Xiaoyu had tanned a lot, so he asked, "How did you learn from Mike?"
Tang Xiaoyu said with a bitter face: "It's okay, it's just that I got up too early, and I was sleepy during the day." ”
Tang Ming said: "It's like this at the beginning, it's good to get used to it, in addition, you make up your English when you rest, and take an IELTS test in the future, so I can get you a work visa." ”
"I see, uncle. After Tang Xiaoyu answered, he said weakly: "However, uncle, my English is not very good, and I may not be able to take the IELTS test in a short time." ”
Tang Ming said: "It doesn't matter, just pass the exam in a few months." ”
Tang Xiaoyu heard Tang Ming say this, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll work hard." ”
……
The next morning, a truck drove over from Hanwei Racecourse, and Tang Ming and Cornelia coaxed Black Charcoal to deliver it to the truck.
After the truck drove away, Tang Ming and Cornelia drove a Ford Raptor F650, pulling more than a dozen buckets of water and a basket of carrots to Hanwei Ranch.
These pools of water are all prepared for the black charcoal head, enough for it to drink, and when it finishes drinking, Tang Ming will send it over again.
When he arrived at Hanwei Racecourse, Tang Ming parked the car outside, got out of the car, and walked in with Cornelia.
Black Charcoal had already been arranged in a stable, a little restless, and it was better to see Tang Ming and Cornelia.
Tang Ming picked up a carrot and put it in the palm of his hand, the black charcoal head lowered his head and ate it, with the carrots produced in Xia Hedong to eat, it didn't care about anything.
For the black charcoal head, there is no carrot that can't be solved, and if there is, then two.
After eating the carrots and drinking some pool of water, the black charcoal head snorted and wanted to go out for a stroll.
Tang Ming opened the stable door and released the black charcoal.
Tang Ming touched the black charcoal head's smooth fur like satin, and said, "Black charcoal head, you have to train hard in the future, you can't be as free and loose as in the pasture, you know?"
For a thoroughbred, if it can't be on the track, it is worthless, although Tang Ming also wants to keep the black charcoal head as a pet, but he also wants it to compete with other horses on the track.
"Herod. The black charcoal head hissed and ran across the meadow.
Then Tang Ming went to Cornelia's house to visit her parents, and stayed at Hanwei Racecourse until the evening, and Tang Ming drove back by himself.
Back at the ranch, Tang Ming did not go back to the house, but circled around the villa.
Tang Ming wanted to choose a place to plant grapes, looked around the villa, and chose a place on the east side of the villa, ready to plant grapes here.
As for how many grapes to plant, Tang Ming calculated, it is more appropriate to plant ten acres, the area is not big or small, and a few people in Tang Ming's family can be busy.
Tang Ming calculated in his heart again, according to the calculation that 440 vines can be planted per acre, ten acres will need about 27,000 vines, and he called Lucy and asked her to buy grapevines, materials for building grape trellises, a tractor and a rotary tiller, these two machines are used to plough the ground.
Lucy was very fast, and the next morning, she led the men to bring everything.
Tang Ming and Lucy watched the workers unload the truck, and Lucy said: "Boss, according to your requirements, all the ones you buy are ten-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon, and you can grow grapes that year." ”
"Hmm. Tang Ming nodded, because the planting area was relatively small, he didn't choose too many grape varieties, and only asked Lucy to buy Cabernet Sauvignon, which is known as the king of grapes.
Tang Ming believes that the Cabernet Sauvignon watered with pond water will be of better quality, and the taste of the wine will definitely be the top.
When everything was unloaded, Lucy left with the workers.
Tang Jianguo walked over, saw the tractor, and said, "I also bought a tractor and a rotary tiller, I'll go up and try it." ”
Tang Jianguo got on the tractor as he spoke, fiddled with it for a while, figured it out, then started the tractor, stopped after turning around, got out of the tractor, walked to Tang Ming's side and said: "It's very simple to drive, it's similar to a domestic tractor." ”
Tang Ming originally wanted to call Mike over to drive the tractor, but he didn't expect Tang Jianguo to drive it, so he immediately said: "It's just right, Dad, you can drive the tractor and turn over this piece of land." ”
"Okay. Tang Jianguo got on the tractor again, drove to the side of the rotary tiller, and after hanging it, he began to turn over the ground.
It took more than half a day to turn over the 10-acre plot twice, and the weeds were uprooted, left to dry for a few more days, and when the weeds had completely withered, the grapes could be planted.
