The vineyard is about a few hundred meters from the villa, and it is only an inconspicuous corner of the valley plain. The pen "fun" pavilion is surrounded by a white wooden fence around www.biquge.info, green grape seedlings, and red workshops, which looks very beautiful.

There is a cement path that connects from the villa to the vineyard, and now the temperature is mild, without the scorching heat of noon, Zhang Yuan is too lazy to drive, so he walks leisurely towards the vineyard.

This was the first time he had entered the vineyard since moving into the estate, and he had only seen it from a distance, and he could see the neat vineyards and the towering winery, but he had never seen what it looked like inside.

As he approached the vineyard, he saw a group of people gathered in the distance, unsure of what they were discussing. Zhang Yuan was curious, but he didn't say anything, so he quietly leaned over. However, he underestimated the attention paid to him, or rather, it was too quiet for people to hear.

Zhang Yuan didn't mean to hide his whereabouts, so when he walked less than ten meters away from the crowd, he was still discovered.

"Boss, you're here!"

One of the outermost farmers turned to see him and immediately shouted hello.

Hearing this, the others turned their heads one after another, and when they saw Zhang Yuan, they greeted him one after another, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly smiled and waved his hand.

"I've never been here to see it, I didn't have anything to do today, what are you busy with?"

Zhang Yuan greeted everyone with a smile and walked towards the crowd, where Martin was in the middle of the crowd, holding a bunch of grapes and observing carefully. When Zhang Yuan came over, he didn't put down the grapes in his hand, but waited for Zhang Yuan to get closer, and handed the grapes to Zhang Yuan.

"We're looking at the quality of the grapes this year."

Martin said as he handed the grapes to Zhang Yuan.

"This year's grapes are not bad, although the specific situation will not be known until the winemaker comes to see it, but BOSS, you can see ......"

As he spoke, Martin plucked one from a large bunch of grapes, tore the skin of the grapes with his fingernails, and then gently rubbed his fingers, which were suddenly stained with a faint layer of purple.

"The grapes are basically ripe, I just tasted the grapes, the grape skin and grape seeds are relatively astringent, but not bitter, not irritating, the flesh color is also brown, it is a good batch of grapes."

"So you can start picking?"

Zhang Yuan asked, while picking a grape and tasting it, well, it is still quite sweet, but the skin is thicker, the flesh is less, and the juice is less, which is still much worse than ordinary grapes. However, this is normal, wine grapes are not suitable for consumption in the first place. For example, with ordinary table grapes, so much juice and so thin peel, the wine will taste very light.

Many people like home-brewed wine, and white sugar will be added when brewing, that is, it needs to be fermented with sugar to obtain a moderate alcohol and sweetness, but such "wine" can only be called an alcoholic beverage after fermentation of grape juice, which is still fundamentally different from wine in the general sense.

Zhang Yuan spit out the grape skin, the more he chewed this thing, the more astringent it became, and it would be very uncomfortable in his mouth after a long time.

"I can't pick it yet, I have to wait a little longer, the grapes are not fully ripe. And we also need the winemaker to come and take a look and help us adjust the wine ratio, which is more complicated and we can't handle it. ”

"Don't we have a winemaker here?"

Speaking of winemakers, Zhang Yuan looked around with some confusion. All he could see were fruit farmers with red skin, and the winemaker should not be such a tall and tall presence.

"Of course, we have specially hired winemakers on our estate. But recently, he had some personal matters and asked me for a period of leave, and you hadn't come to the boss at that time, so I granted him a vacation. But don't worry, boss, our winemaker is a relatively stable person, and he will come back before the grape is picked. ”

Martin explained.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything about this, the grape field, with the brewing workshop next to it, and the basement of the villa are a complete system. Picking, brewing, and storing already have their own rules, and there is no need for him to meddle casually. Haven't you been here all these years? He believed in Martin's abilities and personality.

After looking at the grapes, I went to the workshop to take a look, good guys, it's all big machines!

He didn't even know what a lot of the equipment was used for, so Martin had to explain it on the sidelines. This machine is for grinding grape fruits, this machine is for fermentation, that machine is heating, and the machines on the side are doing this and that, in short, after looking around and having a certain understanding of the process of making wine, Zhang Yuan and Martin returned to the villa.

"When are we going to buy cattle? Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Zhang Yuan asked.

"It depends on the boss your choice, we can go tomorrow, there are a few good cattle farms around this area, all breeds, large quantities, and the price is also appropriate, and I know the owners of these cattle farms, they won't pit you if I have me."

Martin said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Then tomorrow morning, don't come tomorrow, I'll go to the town to find you, and then let's go to the cattle farm together." ”

Martin smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

……

After dinner, Zhang Yuan came to the back of the villa.

Martin is off work, the workers in the vineyard are also off work, and Zhang Yuan is the only one in the villa at this time, to be honest, it is really a little boring.

When I was in China, I always felt that there were many people making a lot of noise, children crying and adults yelling, and a group of old ladies dancing square dances downstairs, and the sound of the horn made people feel particularly noisy. You can't theorize yet, it's all at the level of mom and grandma, a person can drown you with a mouthful of spit, and Huaxia pays attention to respecting the old and loving the young, many times even if you are reasonable, as long as the object is replaced by the elderly or children, the reason will become unreasonable.

At that time, how he longed for such a space where he could be quiet and alone, but for the densely populated Huaxia, it was basically impossible, unless he was ready to get away from the world and live like a savage.

It's quiet now, but there are some crooked nuts with white skin and blue eyes around him, and his parents and relatives are thousands of miles away in the country, he suddenly feels a little lonely, and he runs to Canada so far alone, is this really good?

He sometimes asks himself, but he is a little reluctant to let him give up all this he has.

"Maybe that's the price of all this."

Zhang Yuan said to himself silently, walked out of the villa, and walked towards the grape field by taking advantage of the dim sun in the west.

Before, he was still thinking about when he would have the opportunity to try to use the druid's spells, but when he saw the vineyard today, his heart suddenly moved, isn't this a good test ground? This idea was a little uncontrollable as soon as it rose, and he didn't show much during the day, and when dusk, after everyone was gone, he couldn't wait to come to the vineyard, ready to test it, to see if his druid spell could be done, and how effective it was.
