Three hundred and fifty-eight, the Golden Tree barrel
"What should I use for these wines?"
The best option for wine was of course oak barrels, but there were no barrels on the ranch and he didn't want to go out to buy one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Do you want me to make my own oak barrel out?"
"But what if there's no oak in the pasture?"
"Or ...... Make a trial ...... with a golden tree"
Suddenly, the idea of using the golden tree as a barrel came to him, and he couldn't control it.
There are not many other things in Xia Hedong, but there are golden trees, and although the golden trees outside can be sold for tens of millions of tons, they are not precious to him.
As for the effect of the barrel made of the golden tree, he didn't care, just regarded it as a small experiment, if it succeeded, it would be the best, if not, there were still many grapes outside, and some could be re-made at any time.
With the plan settled, he walked to the hut and looked for the carpenter's tools, which were already covered with dust.
These tools were bought for the purpose of installing the wooden house when he first got Xia Hedongtian, and now it has been several years, and he has not taken them out, this is the first time in several years that he has taken them out.
Now that he has these tools, he can do a little carpentry work himself, so he no longer hesitates to start working immediately.
There are two types of oak barrels, one is made by hollowing out the whole oak wood, which is suitable for high-end wines, and the other is made of wooden planks, which can often be seen.
He only had some simple tools in his hands, and he could not use the barrel to make the overall structure, so he could only do it by assembling it.
First of all, he had to cut the golden tree into planks of about the same size, and he had both a chain saw and a manual wooden saw, which was very simple to make, and it didn't take long to sawn out dozens of one-meter-long planks.
However, looking at these planks of different widths, narrowness, and thickness, he was a little helpless, so he could only pick up a planer and scrape them flat.
This job is not difficult, but very tired, busy for more than an hour, tired his arms are sore, finally scraped these planks, although there are still many flaws, but it does not affect the next assembly.
At this point, he is a little difficult again, and he doesn't know how to assemble it? I had to go out and check on the Internet, understand the general steps, and return to Xiahedongtian with a pair of pliers and a roll of wire.
Assembling was a simple task, but it was the hardest, and it took him a long time to assemble the barrels.
Tang Ming sat on the ground, looking at the one-meter-high wine barrel in front of him with a few coils of wire tied outside, and he still felt a sense of accomplishment.
Then came the final test, and he kept staring at the barrel after pouring the wine from the glass bottle into the barrel.
One minute, two minutes...... Ten minutes.
After more than ten minutes, the barrel was still the same, the wine did not leak out of the barrel, and he knew that he had succeeded.
Although the barrel looked ugly, he still cheered and was satisfied.
After admiring the wine barrel for a while, I looked at my watch, it was already noon, and I hurriedly went out from Xiahe Cave.
"Hi, Tony."
As he walked downstairs, he picked up his phone when he heard it ring.
Tony asked, "How did I pick it up after I called it several times?" ”
Tang Ming said: "I went out just now, I didn't bring a phone, what's wrong, is it for the sake of the beverage company?" ”
Tony didn't care about it and said, "No, I'm looking for you for something else." ”
Tang Ming asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Tony didn't sell it, and said directly: "I came to you to invite you to participate in the Sotheby's Spring Auction in Hong Kong on April 2nd." ”
"Sotheby's Hong Kong Spring Auction." Tang Ming repeated, and then asked curiously, "Why did you think of inviting me to the auction?" And you're no longer an employee of Sotheby's, how can you still help them? ”
Tony smiled and said, "Although I don't work at Sotheby's anymore, I'm still a shareholder of Sotheby's." ”
"Oh." Tang Ming then remembered that when Tony's grandfather died, he seemed to have left him some Sotheby's stock.
Tony explains: "The new president of Sotheby's approached me and asked me to help bring in some clients, he was my boss at Sotheby's, and I had a good relationship, so I agreed, and if you go to Hong Kong, I can introduce you to some of the world's top fashion designers." ”
Tang Ming asked curiously, "Why did you introduce me to a costume designer?" ”
Tony smiled, "You and Cornelia are about to get married, but you haven't decided on the various dresses you will wear when you get married, right?" ”
Tang Ming said: "No, what's the urgency about this matter?" Let's wait until the next day. ”
Tony exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh my God, Don, you don't think it's so simple to make a wedding dress, every dress is made by hand, it takes months from design to production, if you don't want to get married wearing low-end goods sold in the store, it's best to come to Hong Kong." ”
Tang Ming was a little speechless by what he said, and said with a wry smile: "Is it so exaggerated?" ”
Tony shouted again: "This is an exaggeration, with your current status, if you really buy a dress in the store, you will be laughed at by others, and others will think that you don't value the wedding with Cornelia, you don't want to make Cornelia sad." ”
Tang Ming felt that Tony's made sense, and said: "Okay, then let's go to Hong Kong, Tony, you help me find a few top designers, don't find second-rate goods to fool me, if you want to do it, you can do the best." ”
Tony smiled, "Don, don't worry, I'll help you find the best designer." ”
Tang Ming said: "Then it's decided." ”
After ending the call, Tang Ming suddenly felt that time was urgent, although the date for the yacht to come back had not yet been set, but it would definitely be handed over to him before June, and now he still had a lot of things to do, such as proposing, registering, taking wedding photos, etc.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone again and dialed Xiao Yang's number.
Xiao Yang is the assistant to the chairman of Tianhe Shipbuilding, who is responsible for liaising with Tang Ming, and sends an email to Tang Ming every week to report the progress of the yacht's manufacturing.
Tang Ming hadn't called him before, and they usually contacted him online, so after receiving Tang Ming's call today, he felt a little strange, but he still said respectfully: "Mr. Tang, hello, do you need my help?" ”
Tang Ming said: "I want to ask when the yacht can arrive in Australia?" ”
Xiao Yang thought for a while and said, "Mr. Tang, now the yacht is in sea trials and is in good condition, if nothing else, it can be in Australia before May 20th." (To be continued.) )
