323 Harvest of grapes

In the early morning, you can hear the birds chirping outside the window, the chirping is so lively, the sun fills the whole room, the cold of the night quietly dissipates without a trace, the dense heat wave still seems to still leave traces of summer, and the footsteps of autumn never seem to really come to this land. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Li turned over, and then he saw a fluffy fart/strand, he didn't react at first, and he was stunned, only then did he realize that he had returned to the ranch, and the little guy lying on the pillow was naturally Bucky.

Lu Li raised his hand and touched Bucky's soft hair, and then he heard Bucky shout "meow", and then rubbed Lu Li's cheek with his head, this intimate coquettish appearance made Lu Li laugh dumbly, "Is it that during the time I left, you were abused by Cole? Now you finally know that I am good, so come and slap me?"

Bucky, who is usually arrogant, has become a clingy little devil star from yesterday afternoon to today, and even follows more closely than Teddy, which really makes Lu Li cry and laugh.

teased Bucky a little, and then Lu Li turned over and got up, came to the windowsill, pushed open the window, took a deep breath, the refreshing oxygen factor was stirring in the lungs, and the endless green spread out from under the soles of his feet, like the waves of the ocean, magnificent, quite a kind of heroic sky pointing the country, and the whole person was refreshed.

Even though it is the same green, it is still divided into different levels and contents, so that people can clearly distinguish where is the meadow, where is the beech forest, where is the forest, and where is the organic farm......

Surprisingly, after the corn field of the organic farm was harvested, it was not sown for the time being, and large bundles of corn stalks were placed next to the field and were not directly transported, and the barren scene did not seem to be in a hurry to sow seeds.

Last night, Randy briefly communicated the progress of the organic farm to Lu Li.

At the end of August, after all the corn was harvested, Randy did not rush into a new round of cultivation, but first applied green manure to nourish the land, and last week, Randy had just started to install the watering equipment and insect repellent equipment, and then, after the harvest of the vineyard, he would start to expand the organic farm.

Just a short distance from the organic farm, the vineyards are easily visible, with a turquoise carpet stretching in the direction of the stream towards the far end, lush grape trellises and turquoise ravines that are lined up like thousands of marching teams waiting for a military parade, and boundless green waves roaring towards the forest.

This made Lu Li stunned, shouldn't Pinot Noir be purple? But the vineyard in front of him was a fresh green, and it looked almost non-variegated, which was too abnormal!

Red wine is red because the red pigment is squeezed out when the wine is pressed, resulting in a red color, while white wine is made from green grapes. In this case, Pinot Noir should be purple.

At least that's what Lu Li thinks, or is he mistaken?

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the whole green began to cheer, swaying, and rejoicing, and even the streams and forests began to echo each other, and the world became noisy in an instant, and the rich vitality overflowed, as if calling for the good season of harvest, and then the green swayed like a wave of wheat, revealing the purple hidden under the branches.

The dull purple was mellow and steady, and because of the distance, the purple glowed with a layer of dark red under the golden sunlight, and there was an indescribable charm, mixed with the vast expanse of green, as if a ray of bright light penetrated through the darkness, beautiful and moving, wonderful.

Occasionally, you can see some bees and butterflies flying above the waves, jumping lightly, as if stepping on the strings of the sun, playing a classical music of nature, quiet and far-reaching, but lively.

Just such a scene, without any extra embellishment, the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth rose, overflowing with happiness.

Sure enough, autumn is the most pleasing season. Because, this is the harvest season.

The next few months will be so busy that there will be no breathing room – first the vineyards, then the organic farms, and the horses, and more importantly, the winter will come and all the work plans will have to be adjusted accordingly.

Every day is busy, every day is fulfilling, and every day is precious. A good harvest not only means harvest, but also means that the time for the labor has finally come to the test, and just thinking about it in the mind makes people excited.

Today, the vineyards are in the lead, and the time has come to harvest the grapes.

This will not only be the first batch of products harvested at Top of the Clouds, but it will also be the first wines to be made at Top of the Clouds. After being busy for more than half a year, I finally waited for this season.

Objectively speaking, the experimental nature of the first batch of wines was very high, no one can say for sure what the quality of the grapes in the four batches was, for all of them, it was the first time for everyone, and the first batch of new wines was bound to suffer due to the limitations of fermentation and sedimentation time, and it was impossible to make an accurate judgment in a short time.

Still, it's full of anticipation.

Lu Li couldn't help but start to rub his hands at this time, stretched his waist greatly, turned around and went to wash up first, then changed into a set of light clothes, and went downstairs for breakfast.

It was just over six o'clock, and the sun had barely climbed to the edge of the mountain, a long way from the head, but the hall on the first floor of the main house was already bustling with activity.

Everyone was bustling with chatting, some eating in the restaurant, some walking across the hall with sandwiches, some loitering in the kitchen doorway, some sitting on the hall couch drinking coffee, and some wearing work suits......

Seeing Lu Li coming downstairs, everyone greeted each other, and when they saw a few unfamiliar faces, they also took the initiative to come forward and introduce themselves, "You are fourteen, I'm Morgan." ”

Morgan was a burly middle-aged man, who looked to be about forty-five years old, with a messy beard and a sincere smile on his face, warm and kind, and then he pointed to a few other people, "This is David." Then, the one who was drinking beer in the restaurant, it was Lincoln, and rest assured, he only drank one can, which was good for work. If it is more, you can directly deduct his salary. ”

"The one standing at the door of the refrigerator is Benjamin, who just ate a stick of corn and said it was delicious, and then got Cole's permission to rummage through your refrigerator. ”

With a few simple words, the images of several people suddenly became vivid, and the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth also rose, "Welcome to Yunding Ranch." These four people should have been invited by Cole to help harvest the grapes, "Did you come here this morning?"

"No, we came to Texas yesterday and settled in Austin. Morgan said briskly, "It's rare to leave the house once, and we don't have the control of the other half, and we don't need to work for the time being, so we have a good party." I drove straight here this morning. ”

Lu Li showed a knowing smile and nodded, "After the work is over, we can carnival again, before going home." ”

This made Morgan laugh heartily, and David couldn't help but laugh too.

Lu Li turned around, ate breakfast unhurriedly, and then drank a large glass of milk, and then followed most of them out of the main house and headed in the direction of the vineyard.

Early in the morning, the power of the sun has not yet burst out, and it is not hot, but it is warmly sprinkled on the body, resulting in more comfort. A group of people walked away with laughter and laughter, and everyone except Brandon, who was taking care of the horses, came to help, even Justin, Edward, and Sean, who were free.

The lively atmosphere of hip-hop and laughter doesn't look like it's coming to work, it's more like it's on the way to an autumn outing. The group crossed the creek and were already not far from the vineyards.

Last night, Lu Li had planned to take a closer look at the vineyard, but after dinner, he was too lazy to walk so far, and it was too bumpy to ride a horse, so he had to give up. Now, finally having a chance, Lu Li immediately ran forward and looked at it curiously.

The plump and small grapes are piled up together, and the crystal clear color looks like matte purple jadeite, and is covered with a layer of tiny dewdrops, which makes the grapes look even more pleasant. Before his consciousness could react, his right hand had already been raised, and he cautiously stretched it out, touched it, and then saw the dew drop disappear into his fingertips, which startled Lu Li.

I was stunned, and then I realized that it was the space spring. He hadn't collected the dew in a while, and he had almost forgotten about it.

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was really making a fuss.

Shaking his head helplessly, he lifted the bunch of grapes again, the sun spilled down through the bunch of grapes, and after the rich purple reached the extreme, it was a light bright purple, transparent and clear, like a pool of spring water, which was not thrilling.

Such grapes are so cute, the language is indescribable at all, and there seems to be no difference between them and the grapes they eat, which makes Lu Li can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he depicts in his mind what this grape should taste like, the sourness that can be imagined, not only does not make people retreat, but it makes people more and more greedy.

At this moment, Tony's loud voice came to his ears, "Everyone, be careful, don't get so close like this gentleman, and don't pick the grapes and throw them in your mouth." This grape is not to be eaten. ”

Lu Li suddenly had black lines on his head, stood up straight, carefully loosened the grapes, and glanced at Tony speechlessly.
