Two days later, timber flowed into the Cloud Peak Ranch, piling up on top of each other to fill the clearing; After another two days, Edward began work with the construction team; At the same time, Lu Li did not stop, he first bought a batch of beech saplings, and then tried to find the banyan tree - however, he failed, Texas is not suitable for banyan trees, which also means that the plan to plant a century-old banyan tree in the garden of the main house has failed, and it seems that the only choice is oak trees.

Vivien spent ten days at the ranch, witnessing the early foundation work and the initial framework setting, and after confirming that everything was correct, she returned to Boston. She needed to go back to her final project - she had already decided to use the new design of the ranch for her final project, but she still needed to refine more details and interior design, not to mention that she had to leave in a hurry and there was still a lot of work to be done at the school.

At the same time, there was good news from organic farms, where the seeds germinated smoothly, slightly earlier than expected, but still within the normal estimates. The shoots are also growing very well, thicker and more lush than expected, depending on the next two weeks, but it is clear that everything is moving in a positive direction.

Even the herd has good news that three cows are pregnant, which means that the ranch is about to have their first calves.

"Fourteen, I think this soil is particularly suitable for growing vegetables." On this day, Randy returned to the main house in a good mood with the green manure he had just cut, and then he saw Lu Li sitting on the porch reading a book, so he shouted, "You see, even the growth of green manure is particularly gratifying, not only the yield is more than expected, but the quality is also very outstanding." I'm extra confident in the first vegetables on the farm. ”

Lu Li put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Then let's wait and see." ”

What is certain is that the positive impact of the space spring on the organic farm is real, but the specific effect will not be confirmed until the first vegetables are harvested, and now, Lu Li is faintly looking forward to the final harvest.

"If the tomatoes are harvested, we can collect enough tomatoes to make ketchup. Another day, we can try to make our own pizza. "Lu Li is an absolute lover of Chinese food, but it's also fun to try some different flavors and styles of Western food once in a while. What's more, making your own pizza is still different after all.

"Homemade ketchup? That sounds great, but are you sure this is a vineyard? Why do I look more like a farm? ”

A sunny voice came from not far away, shouting energetically, Lu Li and Randy looked at it together, and then saw a navy blue pickup truck, a tall and strong blonde boy, carrying a tattered hiking bag, the dark gray tarp was almost invisible at this time, he patted the door of the passenger seat of the pickup truck, and said loudly, "Thank you for giving me a ride!" ”

The driver of the pickup truck smiled and said, "I wish you all the best!" Then he let go of the handbrake and walked away.

The blonde boy turned around, his wheat-colored skin shimmering in the sun, the bright smile on his face showed a mouthful of neat white teeth, and his whole body exuded the scent of a beach boy, he looked left and right, without the slightest jerkiness of just arriving in a strange place, he looked at the surrounding scene familiarly, and pointed to the villa under construction, "Is this building a winery?" Or is it a farmhouse? Why don't I have any idea? ”

Randy turned his head to look at Lu Li, his eyes full of questions, "Who is he?" ”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't understand either, he stood up, and was about to ask, but found that Teddy rushed out directly, rushing towards the blonde boy head-on.

The boy who was still very cool just now suddenly panicked, "Can you take him away?" Or is she? Hurry up, hurry up......" He couldn't help but run up quickly, which made Teddy even more excited, and chased after him relentlessly, the boy panicked, and directly threw the hiking bag in his hand, and began to run away next to the construction site lightly, "God, I really don't know what to do, who told me how to deal with such a situation?" Quick, help me! I'm serious! Ahhh ”

The scene is completely running in all directions, chickens flying and dogs jumping. The matter was not over, and the two little ones, Yuzu and Grape, came out of nowhere and joined Teddy - compared to Teddy, who was not very flexible when he was older, the two little ones were much faster, and they caught up with the boy at once, so the shouting turned into a scream.

Everyone burst into laughter, and even the people of the construction team temporarily stopped their work, looking at the living treasure in front of them, and they were overjoyed.

Lu Li remembered that when he had just arrived at the ranch, his appearance was probably not much better, and the screams in his ears had begun to change his voice, and he shouted, "Teddy, Teddy, come back!" Teddy! Soon, Teddy ran back with a cheerful pace, and the two little ones, Grapefruit and Grape, followed him and ran back in a hurry.

Teddy squatted at Lu Li's feet, sticking out his tongue and looking coquettish; Grapefruit and grapes were constantly circling around Lu Li's feet, unable to be quiet at all, as if complaining: we haven't moved our bodies yet.

Not far away, the boy stood on the spot panting, his face was full of palpitations, and he simply sat on the grass with his hands behind him, panting heavily, and his strong muscles and healthy complexion were suddenly eclipsed under the panicked and embarrassed appearance just now.

"Hey, man, aren't you going to introduce yourself? Or are you just going to sit still? As the master, Lu Li still asked.

The blonde boy waved his right hand to answer, but his eyes remained on Teddy, Yuzu, and Grape, and he couldn't take his eyes off them, as if he was still worried about them. Sure enough, he immediately spoke, "I'm sorry, I'm really not good at animals, can you let them into the house?" “

"Rest assured, they don't bite." After Lu finished speaking, he realized that his tone was exactly what Cole had been.

In fact, Lu Li knows better than anyone the feeling of rejection and even fear of animals, he knows that most animals will not bite, let alone be dangerous, but the rejection in his heart is still helpless. "I mean, it's a ranch and animals are the most basic components. Behind us, there were many sheep, cows, and horses. These three guys are just a trivial part, and if you're not good at animals, then I guess you're lost, right? ”

Having said that, Lu Li still thoughtfully asked Teddy to take the grapefruit and grapes to the sheepfold, he completely empathized with the mood of the boy in front of him, and naturally he would not force it.

"What? Isn't there a recruitment of winemakers here? The blonde boy stood up with a bone, and then looked warily at the three sheepdogs passing by, and when he was sure that they were gone, he strode towards the main house.

"Winemaker?" Lu Li was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

"Yes, winemaker." The blonde boy picked up his backpack and stood in front of the garden, "I saw a job posting on the Internet that it was looking for a winemaker. The job posting linked to a Facebook post with a short video showing the vineyard land. It's called ...... Uh, Cloud Ranch, is this it? ”

After being reminded, Lu Li finally reacted. The job posting was posted when he first came to the ranch, and at that time he only had a vague idea of the development of the ranch, so he impulsively posted the job posting, but then realized that it was almost impossible to find a professional winemaker through the Internet.

Because most professional winemakers follow the traditional mentorship system, even if they come out of a professional university, they will spend countless hours in the winery learning. So, once they graduate or graduate, they either go smoothly to work in the winery or become a wine taster, even if they are headhunters looking for professional winemakers, they are also looking for winery connections, which is a traditional industry, and few people will look for a job online.

Therefore, Lu Li began to think about when he should go to Europe, especially France, to find a professional winemaker. But the ranch was just starting out, and it was always busy, so there was no time. As for the job posting, and the short video on Facebook, he had long forgotten about it.

"Yes, this is Cloud Ranch." Lu Li first gave an affirmative answer and paused for a moment, "But...... Wait, so you mean, you're a professional winemaker? ”

Looking at the young man in front of him again, Yingting's eyebrows stretched out along the sockets, the deep silhouette could glimpse the shadow of the Nordics, the short blonde hair and wheat-colored skin showed the traces left by the beach for many years, the combination of bright yellow tank top and lake blue shorts, and a pair of Vance's high-top skateboard shoes confirmed the suspicion. Every cell in the body exudes the smell of "surfing", and it is really impossible to connect with the winemaker.

"I'm an apprentice winemaker, but you're right, I can be considered a winemaker, albeit just in preparation. However, I had four years of formal education and had all the relevant qualifications. Experience is my weakness, but my youth and enthusiasm are my strengths. I believe that I can be a good winemaker, and when I was in Hunter Valley, my master said that I have talent, I have passion, and most importantly, I have skills. So, I think I really want to be a good winemaker in the future. “

Confident and calm, bright and brisk, although a large paragraph of self-introduction is a bit casual, but the meaning could not be clearer.

Lu Li had countless questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start, and finally squinted his eyes, "What's your name?" ”
