Although Lu Li is a layman, during his time at university, he not only interviewed many people as a journalism student, but also learned some common sense with his college classmates. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This naturally includes red wine - although it is said that Americans always like beer, especially college students, red wine is not their first choice, but this does not mean that they do not know, on the contrary, almost everyone has learned some basic knowledge of red wine to some extent.
In their words, it's a necessary skill for the future of dating.
After understanding, Lu Li realized that the formal date of Americans is generally dinner, and the formal dinner will basically be full of appetizers, main dishes, desserts and alcohol, and the selection of each link will reveal their taste, class and connotation, and will also become the topic of their chat. Sometimes, just picking a bottle of wine can tell if you're a good match, and a date in a formal restaurant and a small talk in a bar are two very different things.
Strictly speaking, in a French fine dining restaurant, it is the woman's job to choose the wine, and they will show their knowledge and temperament, while the order is the man's job, and they will show their financial resources and ability. The menus of both parties are different, the menu that the woman gets is not priced, the menu that the man gets is marked with the price, and the wine list is given to the woman.
However, in the United States, there is not so much about it, and both men and women need to know more or less about red wine.
It can be said that red wine is an important part of the cultural makeup, and if wine can be made in beech pastures, it is even more profitable than cattle and sheep. Even if you don't talk about sales all over the world, just selling in Texas is very profitable. When Jack was alive, he chose to grow grapes, and the beech pasture had a good cycle of income, which is the best confirmation of Lu Li's idea.
Of course, regardless of the sales channels and the quality of the wines, growing grapes is not an easy task in itself.
The reason why Lu Li came up with the idea of red wine was because the space ring was behind his back. The water should be good for the grapes, which means that they have an increased chance of producing a good quality wine, and the rest of the world will not be a problem.
"This area used to be divided into two parts, one part was a place to put horses, and many tourists were willing to come here to ride horses...... "Cole and Lu Li continued to walk north along the valley, and on the side near the main house, the grassland looked slightly yellow, and the slight difference could be detected from a visual angle.
Standing here, passing through the large beech forest, you can see the edges and corners of the eaves of the main house and the shed loomingly, "Tourist?" Lu Li was looking around, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Cole's words.
"Yes. Cole nodded approvingly, "The horses at Beech Ranch are not only for competitive cowboys, but also for tourists to ride. This horse farm can be used all year round, but after all the horses are sold out, Liz does not have a clear idea of how to use it for the time being. ”
"What about your suggestion?" Lu Li's question made Cole pause, seemed a little surprised, and a little suspicious, Lu Li showed a smile, "I'm serious, compared to me, a professional, you should have a better opinion, don't you?"
"I think a racecourse is still a good idea. Cole seemed to be encouraged, tentatively said an idea, saw Lu Li nodded his chin slightly, and continued, "It's true that the competitive cowboy is not as good as it used to be now, but in fact, this has become a tradition, and the two competitive cowboy conferences are still held as scheduled every year." For the cowboys, life is getting tougher, but the demand for horses has not declined. ”
Lu Li interjected and asked, "Excellent horses will always be favored. ”
"Yes, that's what it means. Cole smiled widely, but he immediately hesitated, "But the upfront investment will definitely be larger, after all, good breeders/horses are always more expensive." Lu Li nodded in understanding, and Ke added, "As a tourist ride, the demand for horses is not very large, it mainly depends on your planning, if you want to develop tourism, then this piece can be persistent, and with activities such as sheep shearing, lavender harvesting, apple picking, bonfires, etc., it will be very interesting." ”
"You mean tourists from abroad?" Lu Li immediately understood the deep meaning of Cole's words.
Cole scratched his head, "yes, I just think that you're Chinese, and in the last two years, the number of Asian tourists willing to come to Texas and experience the cowboy life has really increased. ”
Lu Li didn't answer, but thought carefully. Developing/international tourists, this is indeed a feasible solution, but the problem is that he is only a student now, and the university is still in the United States, and the domestic network is very limited, how can this be promoted?
"The other part is used to grow corn and potatoes. Cole's explanation continued, pointing to the vast land used to be in the racecourse, "Our production is not bad, it can be considered medium, this is the most stable income." "Corn and potatoes are staple foods in the United States, as opposed to rice in China.
After going around the circle, the beech ranch is a little wider than expected, and I finally know how big the 1,500 acres are, and the ranch has far more things than I imagined, and it is obviously not so simple to operate.
"Aren't there pigs raised here?" Lu Li suddenly thought of this, corresponding to beef and mutton, pork is also one of the main foods in the United States, but they didn't see it.
Cole shrugged, "There's not enough space. "Fifteen hundred acres looks very large, but every part is fully utilized, and there is really not much space left," and the food of pigs is quite different from that of cattle and sheep, which is more troublesome to raise. In the past, there was a ranch in Lily's Ranch that was dedicated to pigs, and that was our largest source of pigs here. However, there are not many ranchers in New Bronfels who raise pigs, and we buy more from other towns. ”
If you think about it carefully, now only sheep, cattle and corn are making money in beech pastures, and other places are temporarily empty, and the situation is indeed hard, but it also means that there are more possibilities, waiting for the landing to be re-planned and re-operated, and the future development potential will naturally be greater.
Lu Li is already a little geared up, and he doesn't know how much that Degas can sell for, and this start-up capital will determine how high Lu Li's future plans can be formulated.
After walking around, forty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Lu Li and Ke Le went around again, looked at the sheep grazing, and then returned to the main house.
Lu Li was about to dismount, but Ke Er quickly jumped off the horse and said loudly, "I'm here to help." ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Li had already jumped down directly, and then he looked at Ke Er in confusion, as if he didn't understand the meaning of "helping", but when Lu Li's feet landed, he understood.
The hot pain in the inner thighs swept over, the sourness was simply too ecstatic, Lu Li almost couldn't stand, his knees were weak, and then the severe pain made him clench his teeth and stand up straight with a bang, he strongly doubted that the skin on the inner thighs was worn out.
Looking at Lu Li's funny appearance, Ke Er laughed out loud without giving face, "It's like this for the first time to ride a horse, no one can be an exception, just ride a few more times, just get used to it." Cole greeted him, stretched out his hands, and helped Lu Li towards the porch, "It's good that you didn't ride your horse impulsively today, otherwise you would really not be able to stand on your feet now." “
Lu Li didn't have the heart to respond to Cole, he finally understood what it was like to be a little mermaid now, and the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife was truly unforgettable.
Finally walked up to the porch, Lu Li's back was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, he refused to go indoors again, and carefully sat down on the chaise longue at the door, grinning again, and finally settled down. Teddy, who was lying next to him, seemed to sense Lu Li's embarrassment, stood up and shouted twice, and then lay down again.
"He's laughing at me, for sure. Lu Li gritted his teeth and said, and Cole couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
After resting, the hot feeling on the inner thighs finally calmed down a little, looking at the crystal clear blue sky overhead, the white clouds were floating lazily, and the feeling of fullness and comfort made people feel unprecedented satisfaction.
Looking at the ranch in front of him, Lu Li couldn't help but start to sketch the scene of the future, although he wasn't sure which plans could be executed and which couldn't, but he couldn't help but start depicting, "Cole, many people feel that staying here is a very boring thing, they have all chosen to leave, and some people even feel that they have been trapped here all their lives, don't you have this kind of thought?"
"Of course, I used to think that way. "You know, the outside world is so exciting, the bustling New York, the sunshine of Los Angeles, the architecture of Chicago...... Not to mention that the world is so wide away from the North American continent. I'm still young and I'll always want to go out and see. ”
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of Cole's mouth, "But the city has the excitement of the city, the countryside has the taste of the countryside, everyone is chasing happiness, but only what suits you is right, isn't it?"
Some are suitable for the city, some are suitable for life, some are suitable for stability, some are suitable for turbulence, some are suitable for the office, some are suitable for the outdoors. There is no one path that is suitable for everyone, so we are always searching, always exploring, hoping to truly find our own path, instead of blindly following the instructions of others, following the mainstream of society, and being trapped in a cage that does not belong to us.
Lu Li nodded, raised his head again, and looked at the blue and intoxicating sky, "What do you think of this place in the future, it will be called Yundian Ranch in the future, how about this idea?"
Rising and falling, the clouds are rolling up.
