371 Innocent fawn
"Mark, are you sure you don't need a magnifying glass? Or do you just move the kitchen over and start eating here?" Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Robinson complained without giving any face.
They were standing in the cellar at this time, and in the quiet and cool space they could faintly hear the flow of air, an old and decaying atmosphere, mixed with a rich oak aroma, and a faint aroma of wine, a little sweet, a little sour, not dull at all, but a little drunk, addicted.
Professionals know that the design of the wine cellar is very intricate, the air circulation and temperature maintenance, which are the wisdom of the ancients, but even so, no one wants to stay in the wine cellar for a long time, this is not an ideal holiday destination.
But at this time, everyone stayed in the cellar and did not leave.
Mark in front of him was standing bent down in front of the barrel, tapping it carefully, touching the exterior of the barrel with his fingers from time to time, then tasting the taste of his fingertips with the tip of his tongue, sniffing in and savoring the smell of it from time to time, knocking on the barrel again and again, and then approaching to listen to the echo inside......
Smell, taste, hearing, touch, sight, all five senses are used, it is like tasting a gluttonous feast.
That crazy posture makes people really laugh. Robinson couldn't bear it anymore and began to sneer, but Raymond, who was standing next to him, replied calmly, "Do you cook?"
Poof. This time, Lu Li didn't hold back and laughed directly, even Robinson himself couldn't help it.
But Mark was still unhurried, Shi Shiran stood up straight, and said with a smile, "If you are in a hurry, you can leave by yourself." Although the ranch is not small, it is not lost. This time, he didn't linger any longer, but slowly walked towards the door of the cellar.
"Finally!" Robinson spat with a long sigh, and the group left the cellar and returned to the outside. Robinson couldn't wait to say, "Next, let's go to the vineyard." I've seen it just now, at the other end of the valley, right?"
After receiving Lu Li's affirmative answer, Robinson took the lead and walked forward.
Lu Li slowed down, waited for Mark to follow, and then took the initiative to ask, "Are you still satisfied with this afternoon tea just now?" Eton's afternoon tea made from oak barrels.
In the face of Lu Li's cold humor, Mark was not surprised, and replied in the same seriousness, "Not bad." It should be said that it is very good. The ingredients are excellent, the cooking methods are excellent, the seasoning and ingredients are also excellent, and I enjoyed this afternoon tea very much. ”
The contrast effect created by the cold-faced smile maker was even more joyful, and both Lu Li and Mark couldn't help but smile. Mark then went on to say, "You've got a great batch of casks that will be worth a thousand dollars in five years' time." ”
"I know. When I was in the cellar just now, I was worried about the robbery. Lu Li said seriously and seriously, "You know, we did experience a theft crisis not long ago, and I deeply believe that I must insure the ranch." ”
Mark raised his right hand, stretched out his middle three fingers, and made a sworn gesture, "I did have such a thought in my mind, and it flashed. ”
The two cold-faced smiling craftsmen, neither of them broke the gong first, and brought their ability to talk nonsense to the extreme, always maintaining a serious and serious tone, but the content of the conversation was full of bizarre absurdity. After saying that, the two of them nodded, as if they had just finished a formal meeting.
Richard, who was walking in front, heard the conversation behind him, only felt that he was about to be injured, turned around, and looked at the two people depressedly, only to find that Lu Li and Mark were both looking at Richard with innocent faces, and their eyes seemed to ask, "What's wrong?
Richard opened his mouth, but was speechless, and could only shake his head sadly, "It's okay." Then he turned around and walked quickly, he had to stay away from the two guys behind him, or he would vomit blood before the sun went down today.
Lu Li and Mark exchanged a puzzled gaze, as if to say, "What the hell is going on with this guy?"
Lu Li found that he had finally caught Mark's laugh. The last time the two of them talked, the rhythm didn't match the frequency at all, which made Lu Li very frustrated; when they met again today, the content and atmosphere of the conversation changed drastically, and the laughter of the two people strangely stepped on a strange rhythm.
Such a conversation is inexplicably relaxed.
The two of them walked and chatted, and before they knew it, the group had come to the vineyard. But, as Raymond complained, the vineyards are all the same.
Similar trellises, similar vines, even if they are of different soil compositions, in fact, to the layman's eye, there is not much difference.
Even in the fruitful autumn or the green summer, the vineyards look the same, without the beauty of the mountains, the grandeur of the artifice, and the precipitation of history. What's more, it's late autumn now, and the harvested vineyards look sluggish, and all the vitality seems to have dissipated in that light brown earth, waiting for the long winter to pass and then regain its vitality.
As they walked around the vineyard a few times, Robinson and Raymond argued several times about the soil of the vineyard, as if it were the scene of a debate match, but Mark surprisingly did not join the discussion, but walked slowly with his hands behind his back, as if he were just coming for a walk.
"Aren't you going to pick up the soil and take a closer look?" Lu Li asked curiously.
Mark shrugged his shoulders slightly, "If I could, I'd be more than happy to crush a clod of dirt and put it in my mouth to taste, and with the sawdust just now, to continue with today's afternoon tea." ”
"It's like cheese stirring a salad?" Lu Li asked, raising his last note.
Mark paused, smiled lightly, and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, it's like finishing a plate of salad." "However, I don't know enough about the soil, and even if I taste it, I can't taste it, so I'm going to taste the wine." ”
"Wise choice. Lu Li nodded seriously, then raised his chin and gestured to Raymond and Robinson, who were still arguing, "When will the argument between the two of them end? I'm a little hungry." ”
"Now it's their turn and we have to be fair. Mark replied unexpectedly, ironically, but with an indescribable sense of joy.
At this moment, Mark's expression and movements came to a standstill, abruptly stopped, as if time had stopped flowing in his body, which attracted Lu Li's attention, he couldn't help but follow Mark's line of sight, only to see a large area of forest, the late autumn breeze blowing, dyeing the forest with different colors, not the magnificence of Canadian maple leaves, but there is a kind of ruggedness and wildness that belongs to Texas.
Such a view was indeed amazing, but Lu Li didn't think Mark would be shocked, "What's wrong?"
"Shhhh Lu Li's voice was not loud, even a little soft, but before he could speak, Mark stopped him directly, and even held his breath, looking intently in the same direction, and his calm eyes suddenly became bright.
"Look. Mark reminded loudly, confirming Lu Li's guess again.
Lu Li recast his gaze, searched carefully, and then involuntarily held his breath, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of incredible shock.
It was a deer.
It walked gracefully and vigorously, strolling through the grass at the edge of the forest, then paused to chew on the tender leaf tips, its well-proportioned and supple muscles combined with powerful explosiveness and balanced flexibility, and every movement was so graceful and moving, as if even the thin sunlight that fell through the trees fell on it, and that ray of brightness easily lit up the world.
Suddenly, the fawn seemed to sense Lu Li and Mark's gaze, and it raised its head and looked in their direction.
This startled Lu Li, even Mark, he quickly stopped breathing, the muscles in his body were tense to the extreme, and he didn't dare to move, lest any rash move might startle the fawn.
Those eyes, bright eyes, clear to the bottom, watery, vivid and bright, revealing a pure and simple sincerity between Gu Pan, without the slightest impurity, without any turbidity, everything was so simple, as if the filth and squalor of the world could not erode its soul at all.
It is always said that the fawn is the spirit of all things, just like the unicorn in mythology. Lu Li didn't understand what this meant, until today, until he saw those eyes.
The last time Justin encountered a deer in a car accident on the road, but it was a deer that had lost its vitality, and even so, the eyes of that deer could still awaken the softness in people's hearts, and today, the deer in front of him is alive, real, and vivid. Lu Li suddenly understood why the cartoon "Bambi" was so influential in the United States.
No, not one deer, but three.
Its companions stepped out from behind the bushes, and walked slowly and gracefully through the grass, casually and casually searching for the tender grass tips and leaves, and they walked freely, enjoying a rare afternoon. Such a real and vivid scene is staged right in front of your eyes, showing the magic and beauty of nature's creatures to the fullest.
"You two ......" Robinson's words came from his ears, but Lu Li and Mark turned their heads at the same time, "Shh", the same breath made Robinson startled, almost choked, couldn't help but burp, and then looked at the two people with a confused face, and then, Robinson found the answer-
He followed Lu Li and Mark's gaze, turned his head to look over, and then involuntarily held his breath.
