370 Ranch Cruise

As the master, Lu Li immediately stood up, took the initiative to greet him, and warmly welcomed him, "Welcome to Cloud Peak Ranch!" A bright smile appeared on his face, "Why didn't anyone talk to me in advance? Without the guidance of a guide, you didn't find the wrong place? This is not an easy task." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Li's first reaction was to hug, but then he realized that the group of British gentlemen in front of him were not interested in hugging, so he stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Robinson, Raymond, and Mark respectively to say hello, but Richard unexpectedly gave Lu Li a big hug, which seemed very enthusiastic.

"We were in the wrong place. Richard happily patted Lu Li's back, complained to himself without hesitation, rolled his eyes, and spread his hands to express helplessness.

Raymond, who was standing nearby, added, "And twice." Rubbing salt on the wound again, everyone's eyes were silently projected at Robinson, and the meaning could not be more obvious, if not in words—the culprit of the wrong path was here.

Robinson, however, was calm, as if he was not aware of his gaze at all, and put his hands behind his back comfortably, looking extremely leisurely and comfortable. It's just that the small detail that pretended to look at the garden but avoided direct contact with Lu Li still revealed his inner embarrassment.

Lu Lihuai laughed, but instead of facing Robinson, he looked at Richard, "Fortunately, you are not chased by the sheepdogs. It was as if it was Richard who made the mistake, which eased Robinson's embarrassment a little.

Over Lu Li's shoulder, Richard glanced at the situation in the porch, Teddy was still intently biting the document, not noticing the arrival of a stranger at all, there were wet and clumps of paper scattered on the ground, which looked so bad;

"Hopefully we're not uninvited. Richard raised an eyebrow and said half-jokingly.

Lu Li noticed Richard's gaze, and immediately reacted, "If you have advanced fifteen minutes earlier, I'm afraid I'll have to drive away the guests, but now it's ......" The following words did not continue, but dragged out the end of the note, with a playful look, the meaning was clear enough.

"Instead of standing here and chatting, you can take us to see the vineyards first. Robinson spoke, his rampage still with a strong personal style, even a little unreasonable, "We're not here to enjoy the ranch. The ranches in Texas are all the same. ”

But this kind of straightforwardness, with a little spikes, is not disgusting, and naturally there is a kind of naïve romance, as if ...... It's like the eldest young master who doesn't know the suffering of the world, but he has a sense of joy.

"Vineyards everywhere in the world are the same, nothing more than vines and trellises. Raymond said quietly, and Robinson choked on it, "What's more, now that winter is approaching, there is nothing to admire in the vineyards." ”

Robinson was stunned by that natural expression, but Raymond didn't notice it at all, and his face was still the serious look of "just talking about things".

Lu Li held back his laughter very hard, and he knew that it would be too rude if he laughed out loud at this time. But Robinson and Raymond are like a cross talk duo, and the laughter is extraordinary. It's just, who is the joke and who is the joke?

"The scenery in every corner of the world is similar, but it is also different. It is the appreciative eye and the mindset that have the right to decide. The scenery is so, and so is life. Lu Li held back a smile and said seriously, then took the initiative to step forward and lead the way in front, "Since you have come to our ranch, this is my mission to meet the needs of our guests." ”

Raymond and Robinson stood still, staring wide-eyed, and Richard didn't know for a moment whether he should laugh or pretend nothing had happened. Only Mark, chuckling, Shi Shiran took a step, followed Lu Li, and stepped forward.

"This is a beech forest, right?" Mark was still in that taciturn style, after meeting, this was his first sentence, he didn't even say hello before, but the content was confusing.

Lu Li followed Mark's line of sight, and the tall and thin beech forest on his right hand has the coolness and tranquility of autumn, different from the surging of spring, the irritability of summer and the silence of winter, the beech forest in autumn has a special temperament, as if the naked eye can see the trajectory of the breeze gliding, dragging out a long tail.

"Yes. Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "What, you have research on trees?"

Mark tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said, "Did you know? France is famous for its beech wood, and many vineyard regions also have a lot of beech wood. During the summer harvest season, standing on the ridges of the vineyards, you can see a large field of beech trees at the end of the horizon. Burgundy is no exception. ”

Lu Li seriously recalled the memories of his previous visit to Burgundy, and those blurry images gradually became clear, but he didn't expect that Yunding Ranch was invisible, with a similar landform and climate to Burgundy.

It seems that when Jack and Liz ran the ranch in the past, wine was able to become a pillar of their income, and it was not for nothing. Now, catalyzed by the space spring, the wines of Cloud Peak Ranch have the top qualifications. This is information that Lu Li did not expect, or that he ignored as a layman.

"But this is not Burgundy. Lu Li was not carried away by the joy, and said with a smile.

Mark nodded in the affirmative, "It's not Burgundy here. ”

He stopped, turned around, and looked along the neat row of tall beech trees, and at the end of it was a calm lake, the refraction of light that made the lake look verdant turquoise, and the dense water vapor swirled on the surface of the lake, like a fairyland.

"There are no oak trees in Burgundy. The smile on Mark's lips lifted slightly, then he pointed to the forest on the other side of the lake, and asked, "Also, is there a metasequoia over there?"

"Looks like you know a lot about trees. Lu Li, this can be regarded as an affirmation.

Previously, Lu Li planned to plant bamboo forests along the lake, with Chinese/Chinese characteristics. However, after asking for professional opinions, Lu Li still gave up such an idea, and finally chose Metasequoia, a species that is closer to the North American style but integrates the Chinese/Chinese landscape painting style.

Metasequoia is a living fossil tree species, but also an ornamental tree species with autumn leaves, with a beautiful temperament, quiet and quiet, like a humid environment, slow growth but long vitality, planting around the water's edge, softening the roughness of oak, refining the high coldness of beech, adding a touch of grandeur and charm like ink painting to the whole ranch.

"That's what makes Ranch the Clouds different from other wine regions. Mark didn't explain much, a simple and clear sentence, but it seemed meaningful.

Lu Li's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Li did not delve into the flavor of the wine, he just took it for granted that the space spring water played a decisive role.

But here's the problem, the land is the same land, the climate is the same climate, and even the environment doesn't change much, although the space spring is magical, it is not a magic that can turn decay into magic, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing. Just like the vegetables on an organic farm, the spatial spring water has not changed their genetic arrangement, but has only been optimized, and the same must be true for the vineyard.

So, why is it that in the past, the wines of Beech Ranch could only be said to be good, but the wines of Cloud Peak Ranch can be said to be top-notch?

Now it seems that the space spring is just a catalyst that brings out the potential of the minerals, wild birds, plants, and water vapors of the land, which makes such a remarkable wine - at least in terms of potential, it has the potential to be of the highest quality.

The difference between Beech Ranch and Yunding Ranch is not only that Lu Li has a space spring, but also that Lu Li has drastically reformed the entire ranch. The natural factors that affect the quality of the finished wine are intricate, and the climate, environment, biological chain, etc., may create completely different quality wines. Two ranches built on the same land are now very different.

Of course, all this is just Lu Li's own speculation - based on Mark's guess, and it is unknown how much truth and accuracy there is. Anyway, Lu Li will never reveal the secrets of the space spring to the public, and all possibilities will forever stay in the speculation stage, or the theory stage.

Lu Li stopped and looked at the ranch again, in just one year, the ranch had changed drastically, except for the lavender field in the corner, everything was completely different from the appearance when he first arrived. This is the Cloud Peak Ranch, which belongs to him.

"I just saw the sheep and the herds, and I heard Richard say that you still have horses. Mark's voice came from the front, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts, he hurriedly followed, walked side by side with Mark again, and chatted, "Where do you usually graze, far from the vineyard?"

In Burgundy, it is a pure wine region, except for vineyards, which are vineyards, and naturally cannot be as diverse as the top of the clouds. Mark is scrutinizing every detail of the ranch, trying to find the secret of the Izumo Peak Winery.

Lu Li could sense Mark's intentions, but he didn't seem flustered at all, the secret in his heart, he believed that no one could guess, "When it comes to grazing, we don't have a fixed range, you know, because every once in a while, the same grass needs to be re-cultivated......"
