Xiao Ping, who had just gotten out of the car, also saw Hao Suo, and originally wanted to greet him. Who would have thought that the manager of the winery would be like a ghost when he saw him, which undoubtedly surprised Xiao Ping. His smile froze on his face, and he watched Hao Sue run back to the villa, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Jia, who saw this scene, was stunned at first, and then forced a smile and said to Xiao Ping: "It seems that your boss is not very popular!"

"Actually, I'm very much loved by the staff. Xiao Ping explained awkwardly: "Misunderstanding, there must be something misunderstood." ”

Xu Jiacai didn't believe Xiao Ping's words, although she didn't refute it, the expression on her face had already revealed her thoughts.

Xiao Ping didn't talk nonsense, and pulled Xu Jia to the villa, he wanted to prove to Xu Jia that he was not a harsh boss.

The villas in the winery are divided into two parts, which are connected by a cloister and are easily accessible from each other. The small building on the front two floors is the common part of the winery, including the showroom and offices, and the entrance to the cellar is in front of it. The small building on the third floor is Xiao Ping's private territory, and every time he comes to the winery, he will stay in a room with a terrace on the second floor.

At this time, Xiao Ping and Xu Jia entered the public part in front, and as soon as the two walked into the hall, they saw Hao Chau talking to several other winery workers, and several of them looked a little flustered, and it seemed that everyone felt that it was not a good thing for the boss to come to the winery.

Seeing the expressions of Hao Sue and the others, Xu Jia also glanced at Xiao Ping with meaningful eyes, as if to say, "You are indeed not a good boss, and the employees don't like you."

Xiao Ping couldn't help it now, and immediately asked the winery manager loudly: "I said Hao Suo." Why do you think that when you see me, like a mouse seeing a cat? The boss is coming'? What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!"

Hao Chau glanced at the other colleagues. Then he said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "You are the boss, we are part-timers, and it is normal to see you like a cat!"

Xiao Pingcai didn't believe Hao Sue's words, and frowned and said, "Don't be forceful, why haven't I seen you so afraid of me before?"

Seeing that there was no way to fool the past, Hao Sue said with a sad face: "Have you forgotten that we made a bet with you that the grapes will not bear fruit this year? Now the grapes are not only bearing fruit, but they are also ripe and early, and we can't afford to lose anymore." You come at this time. We can't keep 1,000 euros, can we be better?"

"Holy. Hearing this, Xiao Ping couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then said to Hao Suo: "Look at your stinginess! Forget it, I don't want this thousand euros, and when this grape picking is over, you can use this money to invite everyone to have a good meal in the best restaurant in the city, and I will make up for it if the money is not enough, so it's okay, right?"

Xiao Ping's words made everyone very happy, and Hao Sue nodded in agreement. Several other young workers cheered loudly.

Xu Jia, who was next to him, saw that now, he also knew that Xiao Ping actually had a good relationship with the winery workers, and the two sides were just joking just now. Looking at the heartfelt smiles of Hao Sue and the others, Xu Jia couldn't help but smile and ridicule Xiao Ping: "I can't see it." You're pretty generous. ”

The others had already noticed Xu Jia, and now that she had spoken, Hao Sue also said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Boss." Who is this beautiful young lady, and you won't tell us about it?"

"This is Miss Xu Jia. My friend, I came to the winery for a vacation. Xiao Ping introduced Xu Jia first. Then introduce Hao Sue and others to Xu Jia one by one.

Since getting the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping's memory has become better and better, and he remembers the names of every worker in the winery clearly, and the introduction is also very smooth at this time.

Starting from Hao Suo, the workers greeted Xu Jia in turn. Everyone remembered that Xiao Ping brought Jessica last time, and this time he actually changed to a beautiful girl, and they were all a little surprised.

However, the French are romantic, and not only do they not have any opinion on this kind of thing, but they are very happy about it. When greeting Xu Jia, they also squeezed their eyebrows at him, in order to express their blessings to Xiao Ping.

Of course, Xiao Ping knew what these guys meant, but he didn't bother to explain to everyone that he didn't have a special relationship with Xu Jia. Some things just get darker and darker, and there is no need to explain them at all.

After the workers had greeted Xu Jia, Hao Sue said to her with a smile: "Beautiful Miss Xu, you came at the right time." Tomorrow the harvest will begin, and this is the most fertile time of the year, and I swear you'll make it worthwhile. ”

Haucer's words are full of pride, which speaks volumes about how important the work of harvesting the grapes is to him. Hearing him say this, Xu Jia also had some expectations for tomorrow, and smiled at Hao Sue and said, "When I came, I found that our grapes were very good, and I am looking forward to coming tomorrow as soon as possible." ”

Xu Jia's words could be regarded as scratching Hao Sue's itch, and he immediately said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Isn't it, our grapes are much better than other vineyards." Not only is it high-yielding, large-scale, just right-sweet-acidity, but it also ripens a few weeks earlier than ordinary grapes, which is perfect for winemaking!"

Hearing that Hao Chau was very satisfied with the winery's grape varieties, Xu Jia said politely: "Thanks to the careful care of you and others, the grapes are growing so well." ”

Xu Jia thought that Hao Sue would agree with his statement, but he didn't expect him to shake his head seriously and said: "Seriously, this really has little to do with us, thanks to the good enough grape varieties provided by the boss!"

Hao Sue's words surprised Xu Jia, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ping. She had long known that Xiao Ping had a hand in cultivating animals and plants, but she didn't expect that she was even so good at cultivating grapes. Xu Jia has a special affection for capable men, and the more she knows Xiao Ping, the more attractive she feels this man is.

However, Xiao Ping didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "I will only start picking grapes tomorrow, which means that Xu Jia and I are not late." The two of us are tired all the way here, so we should have a good rest today, and we will be busy from tomorrow!"

Since Xiao Ping said so, of course Hao Sue and the others would not talk nonsense with him again. Xiao Ping took Xu Jia through the corridor to the small building at the back, and let Xu Jia choose a bedroom to rest in, of course he still enjoyed the largest and most luxurious bedroom in the whole small building.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the workers of the winery had already arrived one after another. Xiao Ping and Xu Jia also got ready early and went to the vineyard to pick grapes with everyone.

Although most of the work in the winery is now done by machines, the work of picking grapes is still done manually. Each person involved in the grape harvest brought a large basket and a pair of scissors, and two people were responsible for a stack of grapes, working on both sides of the trellis, cutting out the ripe grapes and temporarily placing them in a plastic basket.

In addition to the grape pickers, there are also special people driving small tractors around the vineyards, gathering the grapes picked by everyone and transporting them to the small factory of the winery to prepare the juice.

Since arriving at the vineyard, the workers at the winery have been working hard, cutting bunches of grapes and putting them in baskets without wasting a single moment.

Grapes are living creatures, and their ripeness changes by the hour. The most suitable level of ripeness for sake brewing is only a few days at most. So everyone has to work hard to pick the grapes at the best time for winemaking, so that the best wines can be made.

In order to speed up the harvest, in addition to all the workers in the winery, Haucer also hired many temporary workers to help. This is also standard practice at the winery, and it is not easy to hire enough temporary workers when the grapes are ripe. Many vineyards can only watch the grapes pass their best winemaking period, and many of the grapes will rot in the fields.

To Hao Chau's pride, the grapes of other wineries are not yet ripe, and I am afraid that only Château Saintjug has started picking grapes in the whole of Provence. So now he has enough people to pick all the grapes during the best winemaking period.

Since buying the winery, Xiao Ping has often worked in the vineyard with the workers, which has become a tradition, and this time is no exception.

Xiao Ping and Xu Jia were in charge of a grape stack, picking grapes on both sides of the trellis. Both of them have stronger physical fitness than ordinary people, and they haven't rested much along the way. And Xiao Ping and Xu Jia's cooperation is also very tacit, one person misses the grapes and there is always another to help pick them, so although the speed of the two is not as fast as those veterans, they don't pull down much.

Xiao Ping and Xu Jia kept busy, and after more than three hours, they finally finished harvesting a bunch of grapes. However, the two had no intention of resting, and soon went to another grape to continue their work.

The harvest lasted until noon, and Haucer carefully inspected the last basket of grapes, looked at the sky for a while, and then announced that the harvest was over for the day, and everyone could go to dinner.

Harvesting grapes is not only based on ripeness, but also on the moisture content of the grapes and many other factors. Today's sun is so blazing that the moisture content of the grapes after noon becomes too low for winemaking. That's why he told everyone to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue the grape harvest.

During this season, everything at the winery revolves around the grape harvest. So everyone had a very simple lunch, just to fill their stomachs so that they could continue to work in the afternoon.

After lunch, Hao Sue came to Xu Jia and asked her with a smile: "Miss Xu, we are going to start pressing grapes in the afternoon, are you interested in stepping on the first bucket of grapes?" (to be continued......)
