So you may ask, is the wine made from the grapes you step on clean and hygienic? In fact, there is no need to worry about this, the alcohol produced by grape fermentation can basically kill most of the fungi and spoilage bacteria, and the foot stepping method is generally used in the spirits, and the 70-degree brandy will be added to the spirits, which itself has a bactericidal effect. So there's no need to worry about athlete's foot, foot odor, and all kinds of bacteria.

Moreover, it is also said that the grapes stepped on by the foot are broken more evenly, so the wine will be more delicious, so in the movie "Glass Bottle", there will be such a line "This is 82-year-old red wine", "Zhang Feng can drink it, and the person who steps on the grapes has not washed his feet." ”

In today's mechanized age, of course, it is no longer necessary to make wine by stepping on it, but this method has been preserved and has become a very characteristic activity during the grape festival.

Zhang Feng and a few friends who came here together participated in this activity, Zhang Feng and the six of them were divided into two groups, each stepped on for a minute, there was a device to catch the grape juice below, and then according to the amount of grape juice obtained in each instrument to judge the winner, winning which group can get a special T-shirt of the grape festival.

An old brother helped Zhang Feng measure the amount of grape juice with an instrument as a referee.

In the end, Zhang Feng and their group defeated the other two groups of 1.6L and 1.2L with a final score of 1.8L, and won the final reward. It's going to be something special.

After stepping on the grapes, it was almost time for Zhang Feng to make an appointment, so Zhang Feng and the others came to the previous practice ground, and finally arrived at the long-awaited link.

Before the real shooting, Zhang Feng and they first visited the store, where there were some crocodile skins and antelope heads hanging on the wall, Zhang Feng thought at first that these were just handicrafts used for decoration, but casually the people in the store told Zhang Feng that these were the prey they hunted with guns, and then found craftsmen to make it into what it is today, which can not only be used as decoration, but also as a symbol of honor.

In fact, Zhang Feng knows a lot about firearms, especially the trip to Somaliland, in addition to being able to distinguish some classic firearms, he also knows a lot of uncommon firearms, including the bullets they use, Zhang Feng can probably know what bullets they are.

Then after the visit, it was time for Zhang Feng's long-awaited gun session, because Zhang Feng had shot before, so there was no special coach to guide him, but he just started to take a look, but later, Zhang Feng still talked with the coach about a lot of knowledge that he knew or didn't know.

Zhang Feng learned a lot of key points from the coach, such as shooting guns due to a certain amount of anti-shock force, so first of all, your physical fitness must be excellent, otherwise it is easy to be shocked by yourself; Another important point is the principle of "three points and one line", that is, if the gun is straight, then the two points on the gun have formed a straight line, assuming that the bullet is running in a straight line, then it will hit the extension of the straight line of the gun. However, after the bullet is discharged, it runs in a falling parabola, but the front sight has been calibrated in advance to estimate the amount of error compensation of this parabola. So strictly speaking, when aiming, the muzzle of the gun is aimed at a certain position above the target. It's just that the front sight is just aimed at the target; And most importantly, it's important to be calm and don't get too excited before pulling the trigger.

Another thing that must be reminded is that if you go to the gun practice shop to practice shooting, then remember not to practice shooting the day before returning home, because if you shoot before returning home, no matter how you wash your hands, when you go through the security check back home, the security machine will sound an alarm that may be explosive. Of course, if you are too late in time and have a gun the day before returning home, then you must remember to take a business card from their store in the gun practice shop, so that when you pass through the security check and the alarm sounds, you can take out this business card and tell the security check that you practiced shooting here the day before, and then they will go through the phone number on the business card to verify, and after confirmation, you can pass safely.

After the shooting, Zhang Feng and the others returned to the MAIN St in Grapevine City, where the afternoon event was held.

The organizers gave Zhang Feng their tickets, which can be used to buy food and gifts here, one for 50 cents, and Zhang Feng took these tickets to buy food first. Seeing that Zhang Feng, who sold dumplings, did not hesitate to buy dumplings, wanting to taste what the dumplings here tasted like, but Zhang Feng was disappointed, this cost Zhang Feng 16 US dollars, and only 4 dumplings, not only expensive, but also particularly unpalatable, so that Zhang Feng missed the domestic delicacy very much.

After a hasty meal, the atmosphere on the main street has gradually warmed up, and there are quite a few characters and performances with very interesting costumes.

Wine festivals are of course inseparable from wine tasting, and there is a very special wine tasting event called people's choice. At this event, thousands of wines will be launched for people to taste at once, and anyone who attends the event can come here to participate in this event. The organizer will give everyone who participates in this wine tasting a selection table, and for each wine tasted, they can choose the favorite of them, and then the organizer will count the most popular wines according to a table.

Tickets are required to participate in this event, the price is about 25 US dollars per person, there will be 6 sessions per day, each time the time is about an hour and a half, the number of people allowed to enter each time is 750 people, after entering can taste the wine inside, although the price is slightly higher, but it is very popular with people who come here, and many people sign up for this event every day.

Although Zhang Feng has a bad amount of wine, he still has some strength in wine tasting, but he can still feel the warm atmosphere here, and everyone is fully engaged in it, actively participating in the vote, and enjoying the fun.

When I went back, I took some street scenes and other activities related to the Grape Festival, which were more lively, and finally met a baby two or three weeks old, which made Zhang Feng have to sigh at the strength of the Americans, if it is a country, the newborn baby will not be taken out for a month or two, even if it is brought out, it will be carefully cared for, always worried, afraid that the baby will have an accident accident, but in the United States... So I really admire their open-mindedness.
