112 Adventure attempt

"Boss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Tony thought for a moment and spoke.

Lu Li laughed because of this title, "Fourteen, you can call me fourteen." He also forgot to introduce himself, so Tony was a little confused.

"Fourteen?" Tony frowned and asked curiously, but Lu Li didn't want to deviate from the topic, so he waved his hand and motioned for Tony to continue, and Tony gave up, "This Pinot Noir is growing very well, to be precise, it's really good." I've never seen Pinot Noir grow so well in Australia, and I don't know how it compares to Burgundy. Of course, wine grapes should not only look at the growth, but also the grapes, the skins, the flesh, the seeds, and we will have to wait until autumn to make further judgments. However, judging from this seedling alone, it is really outstanding. I didn't think of it, I really didn't think of it. ”

Lu Li's heart hanging in the air returned to his chest, and the spatial spring water did have a role, and it played a positive role in adding to it. This is definitely the best news for Yundian Ranch, perhaps, one day in the future, red wine will become the representative product of Yundian Ranch.

Lu Li's mood couldn't help but start to jump, compared to the income from red wine, he was more looking forward to what kind of red wine he could make from the grapes he planted himself, and what kind of taste it would taste. Harvest is a joy at all times.

"So, that's a good thing, right?" Lu Li found that Tony was actually distracted again, and he was intently looking at the grape leaves around him, so he had to break the silence with a voice.

"Of course, of course." Tony turned his head again, "It shows that we got off to a good start. However, Pinot Noir is so delicate that any mistake in the growing process can affect the taste of the final wine. It's definitely not that easy, so now is not the time to be happy. ”

"Is that why you looked so solemn just now?" Lu Li asked curiously, as a layman, he never didn't know how to pretend to understand.

"Oh no, it's not." Tony shook his head, "Growing grapes is a different challenge every year, and every week is different, and it's part of winemaking, and I'm used to it. It's just that Pinot Noir is more troublesome. Tony lightly brushed the matter off as if it weren't worth mentioning at all, which reminded Lu Li of Cole and the others, who in his eyes worked hard but were just a part of everyday life among professionals.

"I'm just having a headache...... "Toni didn't speak immediately, but gathered his thoughts, "You know, in general, grapes are bud in the spring and then planted in March and April ......"

"Planting? But there weren't enough seedlings. Lu left his mouth and said.

"Grape seedlings?" Tony was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Now the technology of growing grapes has been updated, and in order to ensure that the quality of the grapes is the same as the original grapes, we all use the technology of cuttings. In some vineyards, pruning is carried out every winter to ensure the healthy growth of the grapes; In some vineyards, every few years, all the grapes are plucked in the winter and then all the grapes are replanted from the same vine in the spring. “

Lu Li suddenly realized, "So, you mean that all the grapes in the entire vineyard come from this one grape seedling?" “

"Yes!" Tony simply gave the affirmation, and then Lu Li looked at the vine behind him in surprise, Tony immediately understood Lu Li's eyes, and smiled dumbly, "Don't worry, this grape seedling won't be bald." “

Lu Li is indeed worried that such a large vineyard all comes from the same vine seedling? Can it hold it?

Hearing Tony's explanation, Lu Li nodded, which is a good thing - because this grape seedling has been watered and cared for for for two months, and its condition is undoubtedly the best guarantee of quality.

"Go on, what did you just say you were worried about?" Lu Li has not forgotten this incident.

"Yes, generally speaking, we start cuttings in March, and April at the latest." Before Tony finished speaking, Lu Li understood, it was already the beginning of May, which was equivalent to missing the best opportunity.

"So what? Are we going to wait until March next year? "Lu Li is not in a hurry, anyway, the life on the ranch is originally leisurely and comfortable, there is no need to rush for a while.

Tony didn't answer immediately, but pondered earnestly. This made Lu Li a little surprised, judging from the short time they got along just now, Tony is an enthusiastic and proactive personality, and he is only twenty-six years old this year, and his personality is inevitably impatient, but in terms of professionalism, Tony has never been too impulsive, but has shown his delicate and thoughtful side.

"Fourteen." Tony crossed his hands on his hips and said solemnly, "You say, in the next week, we will try to start cuttings, what do you think?" ”

"You're an expert in that." Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "If you miss the season and delay the cuttings, what will happen?" ”

"The worst possible thing is to miss the good time for germination, and at the same time, it is possible that the quality of the fruit will be affected due to insufficient delivery of nutrients." There is no need to say the rest of Tony, and then it affects the quality of red wine - the delicate Pinot Noir, Lu Li has a full understanding.

Lu Li thought about it seriously. As a layman, he knew that any change could have an impact on Pinot Noir, but he didn't know how much of an impact it would have and how far the outcome would be. But Lu Li believes that under the moisture of the space spring, the nutritional part does not need to worry too much, and missing the time for germination does not seem to be a serious problem. However, this is all speculation by his amateurs.

"Tony, you're a professional, you tell me your decision, and then I'll make the decision." Lu Li said with a smile.

Tony suddenly felt the pressure falling on his shoulders and muttered for a moment, "Fourteen, as I said earlier, in the first year we were all trying, trying all kinds of possibilities. The world knows that Texas is not a great wine region. This sentence made Lu Li laugh, he remembered the pride of Texans, Cole was full of pride when he talked about this vineyard, Tony was a little surprised, Lu Li waved his hand, and motioned Tony to continue.

"Pinot Noir can be grown here in Texas, but it's not top-notch. Therefore, I think that the planting time also needs to be considered. "I think we should divide the vineyard into three blocks, one part of the vineyard one week, and two other parts of the next week and the next, and see what the differences are between the grapes in the three different areas." ”

Lu Li understands this, and in short, the planting time also needs to be tested.

"Next year, we can divide the vineyard into three more areas, with a portion of each planted in March, April and May." Tony added, "My opinion is, let's start working tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Tony looked at Lu Li with burning eyes, and he said without trepidation, "Are you willing to hire me?" He didn't take the initiative to sell himself, but confidently finished the plan, and then waited for Lu Li's decision.

Lu Li deliberately didn't answer immediately, but paused for a moment, he could feel the restlessness and eagerness on Tony's body, this was really an interesting thing, "Otherwise, let's talk while walking." Lu Li pointed in the direction of going back, which made Tony chuckle, as if he had a sense of foreboding.

Lu Li and Tony walked back slowly, and Lu Li said, "You should have a real feeling now, right?" This is a pasture, and animals are an integral part of it, and it's a threshold that can't be skipped. Tony's face stiffened slightly, "I don't know if you noticed just now, the ranch has been under construction recently, and there is no way to complete it in a short period of time." The residence was the residence of the ranch employees, which meant that there may not have been a place to live until the house was completed. Do you have any plans? ”

Tony was still full of confidence, but now he couldn't help but get nervous, "Tent...... Well, I mean, I have a tent with me, and I don't sleep in the open...... Yes, camping is a lot of fun, and I've been going camping a lot before...... Accommodation, well, is not a serious problem. ”

"Makes sense." Lu Li nodded seriously, and then continued to say in a negotiating tone, "So, do you have any requirements for each month's salary?" Or do winemakers get paid a weekly wage? ”

"Salary?" Tony's head was still messy, and his speech was a little sluggish, "Well, the monthly salary, the weekly salary is also available, in fact, it depends on the discussion, as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter." Anyway, I don't spend money every day, and besides, living here on the ranch doesn't cost much. Tony was always absent-minded, and he finally couldn't help it, "Fourteen, I'm willing to work here for a while, six months, what do you think?" I know that hiring a recent graduate is a risky and potentially loss-making, but I really want you to give me a chance. ”

"Tony? Are you sure? Don't want a salary? Lu Li also followed Tony to stop and said jokingly, "I was already thinking about your weekly salary just now. ”

Tony's train of thought paused for a moment, rewinding the conversation just now, and then his pupils suddenly dilated, "You mean...... You mean ......" but the words behind him were stunned, as if he was stuck, and in the end, he simply jumped up and hugged Lu Li fiercely, then tightened, tightened again, "God! Thank you, fourteen, thank you! You won't regret it, trust me, I'll be the most famous winemaker in the industry! Believe me! ”

Tony's mood soared, let go of Lu Li, and ran all the way in the direction of the main house, "I've got a job, I've got a job!" Then at the sight of everyone, Tony stepped forward and yelled at them, "I've got a job, Cloud Ranch!" Top of the Clouds Ranch! Top of the Clouds Ranch! That cheerful appearance infected everyone, and the sky above the ranch began to reverberate with hearty laughter.

Lu Li suddenly felt a little headache - first a randy, and then a Tony? Why did he feel that there would be no peace in the pasture? He seems to ...... Dig a hole for yourself. Is it too late to regret it now?

"Fourteen! I love you! Tony came back to his senses, put his hands to his lips, made a megaphone look, and shouted loudly.

It's too late.
