Lu Li sat in the old chair on the porch, staggering, looking at the starry sky, the dense stars seemed to be touched as long as he stretched out his hand, and the dark night sky was dyed navy blue by the soft halo, with a sense of grandeur. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a full meal and wine, a cigarette and a cup of tea, such a leisurely time is enough to make the gods envious.

Kele kept peeking at the pot of tea in Lu Li's hand, and finally didn't hold back, "Fourteen, can I take a sip?"

"Of course. Lu Li nodded generously, "This is the tea I brought from home, it is different from your tea bags, but the taste is stronger, don't drink too much......"

Before the words fell, Ke Er took a big sip, and Tie Guanyin's bitterness suddenly filled his entire mouth, even Lu Li felt bitter when he looked at it, Ke Er almost squirted out, gritted his teeth and swallowed, and then began to spit, trying to spit out the bitter taste on his tongue, "God, what is this? God......! What the hell are you thinking about? Why are you drinking this?"

Looking at Cole's jumping appearance, Lu Li laughed heartily. Considering their tastes in tonight's dishes, Lu Li didn't put too many chili peppers, but they didn't feel it at all, they adapted well, they didn't expect it, but they fell because of a cup of Tieguanyin.

Ke Er felt that it was too bitter, like a headless fly, looking for water to drink, but Lu Li persuaded beside him, "Bear with me, thirty to sixty seconds, and you will taste this tea." "The sweet aftertaste of the good Tieguanyin is clear and long, and there is a trace of bitterness in it, which is really intoxicating.

"God, you just kill me!" Cole couldn't take it anymore, so he went back to the house, found a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, and poured it down.

Lu Li said that he spread his hands, and it seems that there are still some things that are unacceptable to Westerners. It's as if Lu Li has never been indifferent to British fish and chips.

Cole soon walked out again, his round eyes and a strange expression on his face, "Fourteen, so you mean...... This sweetness is ......?"

Even if you pour a simple and crude beer, you can't suppress it. Lu Li nodded, "Yes, this is the characteristic of this tea, that kind of rich bitterness will have an intoxicating sweetness at the end. With that, Lu Li picked up the quilt, took another sip, and savored it carefully, enjoying it with a look of enjoyment.

Cole nodded as if he didn't understand, he finally understood something now, but remembering the unbearable bitterness just now, he shook his head again, "I don't understand you, why do you want to suffer such torture, is it just for the sweetness in the back? If so, then it is better to drink honey directly!"

Sure enough, it is the logic of the Americans, simple and crude.

Lu Li put down his cup and said with a smile, "Beer and red wine, you choose beer, tea and coffee, you choose coffee." That's it, right?"

Ke Le also heard the ridicule in Lu Li's mouth, and shrugged calmly, "That's the case, there's no need to pretend, those simple things are good." I can't stand eating a meal for four or five hours, like the French. The appearance of the big horn made Lu Li laugh heartily, "However, I am not averse to red wine." In the past, when Jack was still around, the red wines on our ranch had received a lot of praise. ”

"Making wine is a complicated job. Lu Li checked a lot of information before, not only because grape cultivation is very difficult, but also because the grapes suitable for making red wine are of better standards, and if you want to make top red wine, soil, rainfall, sunlight and so on are indispensable.

Cole nodded in affirmation, "This is an industry that depends on God's face. Moreover, there must be professionals, and Jack hired a professional wine brewer to come over, from cultivation to brewing, all of which have professional craftsmanship. Now that set of professional tools is still stacked in the warehouse, useless for many years, and I don't know if it is still up to date. ”

"Red wine is a traditional craft, and it is not changed so quickly. Lu Li still knows this.

Thinking of this, Lu Li realized that he hadn't seriously taken a look at the grape seedlings until now, this was a first-class event, so Lu Li decided to go over to see it in person, just because he was too full, he took a walk by the way.

"I'll go out for a walk." Lu Li stood up, said hello to Cole, and walked slowly in the direction of the grape field.

Before riding chestnuts, it didn't feel very obvious, but now after walking, the breadth of the pasture suddenly becomes obvious. Walking through the dense beech forest, the cold moonlight spilled down through the slender and tall branches, and the faint halo slowly spread the silence of the night, as if the whole person was integrated into nature, and even the goosebumps on his skin from the cold air jumped happily.

There was a squeaking sound in his ears, and Lu Li couldn't help but wonder why there were rats in the woods? raised his head and looked, and then he found that there were several black shadows moving in the treetops, and he was stunned, and then Lu Li reacted, not a mouse, but a squirrel, there is an oak forest not far away, so there are squirrels are not used to it.

However, the squirrels were nimble and vanished in an instant, leaving only the rustle of the wind chasing the treetops.

Continuing on, past the wooden bridge that allows a horse to pass, the vineyard land comes into view. The land had been ploughed again, presumably Liz's work to plant the apple trees, but she left before the work was finished.

The dark soil in front of him had some moist moisture, Lu Li had no professional research on farming, and he did not know whether the soil was fertile or barren, and more importantly, whether it was suitable for grape growth.

Walking along the ridge, I walked all the way, and after a while, I came to a large beech forest, which was much smaller than the one next to the main house, but it reminded Lu Li of the olive groves in Europe. In many European countries, especially France, Spain and other places, olive oil is world-famous, and the large olive trees are very spectacular, forming a beautiful landscape. It would be interesting if olive trees could be planted in the Yundian Pasture.

However, Lu Li quickly denied his idea, not to mention whether the soil and climate here are suitable for the growth of olive trees, only that Yundian Ranch is just starting out, and there is not enough energy to take care of olive trees. What's more, a small patch of olive trees will not be climate-friendly unless the entire vineyard is expropriated, as is the case with apple trees.

For the first time, Lu Li felt that the ranch was a little small.

This made Lu Li laugh dumbly, at this point, he may not be able to manage it, and he is still too small, it is really beyond his strength.

The vines are planted in the middle of the beech tree, and a simple stand is built next to it, and the vines climb up slowly, mainly to protect the seedlings, to maintain their health in the event of a fire or insect infestation, and to prevent sheep or other animals from coming and gnawing the vines.

Opening the fence outside, Lu Li walked in, the vines at this time were not luxuriant, only a few small leaves, mixed in a patch of green, not conspicuous at all. By the moonlight, Lu Li carefully looked at the leaves, trying to use his shallow knowledge to make a judgment, he had read a lot of materials in the library before, and also consulted many pictures, but at this time, Lu Li felt confused, this is the world-famous Pinot Noir?

Anyone who has a basic understanding of red wine should have heard of the name of Pinot Noir, because this is one of the most popular grapes in the world, although the plantations are all over the world, but the climate is very picky, and it can even be said to be delicate, it is called "the princess of grapes", it must be carefully served, it is not easy to plant, even if good grapes are planted, but the winemaking process must be careful, its "mood" is very unstable, and it is very difficult to make excellent wines, so the real top Pinot Noir is very rare.

Pinot Noir is currently the best performer in its native Burgundy region of France.

Because of the difficulty of cultivation and brewing, the difference between low and high Pinot Noir is very obvious, the lowest price Pinot Noir can be less than ten dollars a bottle, anyone can easily taste it, but the top Pinot Noir costs tens of thousands of dollars, and more importantly, even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy it, because only a specific winery can grow on a specific land.

Unlike wines, which rely on wineries to grade wines, Pinot Noir is graded by land, in other words, only the best land and the right climate can make a top-quality Pinot Noir. Therefore, every year, the top ordinary Pinot Noir is made from one piece of land or two - all concentrated in Burgundy, France, in limited quantities, and at the very least, less than 2,000 bottles a year.

Anyone who wants to buy a top-of-the-line bottle of Pinot Noir, even a billionaire has to stand in line. It is said that the queue for Pinot Noir in Burgundy has been in line for three years, and it is difficult for even locals to buy a bottle.

Due to the pampering of Pinot Noir, its taste is also very fine, always full of rich fruity aroma, light color and light taste, delicate and elegant, not only different years of Pinot Noir will have a fine difference in taste, the same year of Pinot Noir shelving for a different time, the taste will be different.

This is also the reason why Pinot Noir has attracted countless people.

The highest concentration of Pinot Noir in the world is naturally France, followed by the United States, California and Oregon, and the taste is very different.

If Lu Li can grow excellent Pinot Noir in Yundian Ranch, then there is absolutely no need to worry about future development. But the question is, in the former beech pasture, although the Pinot Noir planted by Jack is good, it is a long way from the top, and now it is taken over by Lu Li, is it really so easy to change?

Thinking about it, Lu Li summoned the ring space.
