The preparation process before fermentation can be roughly divided into three steps: picking, sorting and pressing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In many wineries in France, the degree of automation is so high that even the grapes are harvested by machinery.

In Provence, however, most of the wineries here still maintain the traditional process of harvesting the grapes by hand, as this preserves the integrity of the grapes to the greatest extent. When the harvest is over, the picking and pressing process begins. In fact, in some modern wineries, these two processes are carried out on a single set of equipment.

Last month, Ye Chen spent a lot of money to purchase a set of such equipment for the winery.

When the grapes are harvested, the growers transport them to the winery's warehouse. First, the growers pour the grapes onto the conveyor belt, while the other growers stand on both sides of the conveyor belt to pick and destem the grapes.

At the end of the conveyor belt is an open press with which the grapes are fed into the press. With the push of a button, the grape pressing is easily completed.

After the grape pressing is over, it is the final step in the production of wine.

Ferment.

In fact, fermentation is much less work-intensive than the previous steps.

After pressing, the grapes are transported to open fermentation tanks, where they go through three stages: alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and maceration, after which the grapes are officially fermented and then transferred to oak or stainless steel barrels for ageing.

The fermentation period is strictly regulated depending on the temperature, and in Provence the general fermentation period lasts for almost a month and a half. This period is the main period of wine growth, so for many wineries, this period is the most important period for winemaking, and no one dares to ignore this period.

Although Ye Chen didn't know much, after this period of time, he also had a general understanding of wine making, so he naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, although he had a bandage on his head, he still ran to the winery behind Bona's ass every day. Sometimes, even if Bona doesn't go, he will go to the winery for a while on his own.

Two weeks have passed since the harvest festival, Ye Chen has finally removed the bandages on his head, and Jacques and Pierce's injuries have also improved a lot.

And what surprised Ye Chen the most was that after the last car accident, the gap between the three of them dissipated, and they actually became good friends. The two Erha fellows ran to Person when they were fine, even with a plaster cast on their legs.

For these two sons and brothers who have nothing to do all day, although Ye Chen is very annoyed, but after all, Jacques is his creditor, and Pierce's Bugatti Veyron is still lying in his yard, and Ye Chen has to pinch his nose to entertain them when they come.

In the spacious and bright hall, the lame Jacques and the hanging arm Pierce were looking expectantly at the kitchen door, where Ye Chen and Anna were busy preparing dinner.

"Hurt us like this, rubbing him a few meals is cheap for him." Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Pierce said proudly.

Jacques hurriedly nodded.

"I still want to soak Elaine, how can I do it if I don't please me."

"Your sister is mine!" Pierce hurriedly emphasized.

"You two can't do it, your IQ is too low, and Ye's family is too ordinary. Neither of you Elaine will choose. Seeing that Pierce was still a thief, Jacques couldn't help but strike.

While the two were chatting, Ye Chen had already come out of the kitchen with the dishes.

"Oh, mushu persimmons, vinegar cucumbers, and salted peanuts." Ye Chen put the plate on the table, wiped his hands with a towel and prepared to start eating. Jacques and Pierce looked at each other, then tacitly pulled out a bottle of wine and a bottle opener from their bosoms.

Ye Chen, who was pulling rice into his mouth, raised his head and happened to see the scene of the two tacitly cooperating to open the bottle, he grew his mouth and shouted: "Hey, haven't you two been banned from alcohol by your family?" How dare you drink! ”

"That's why I came to you because I can't drink it at home!" Pierce uncorked the oak, grabbed a goblet, and began to pour the wine.

Jacques also hurriedly grabbed a full wine glass, took a large sip, and then showed a very intoxicated expression.

"I miss this smell so much, Ye, do you want to have some?"

"I ...... Just be free. Ye Chen said hesitantly.

"Come on, you're welcome!" Pierce said generously, took the wine glass and poured a full glass for Ye Chen.

Looking at the bright red liquid in the goblet, Ye Chen licked his lips, and he looked at Anna beside him as if he pleaded.

"You can only have one drink." was quietly picking up the rice in her small mouth, Anna looked at Ye Chen's appearance, frowned, and said angrily.

"Okay, I'll just have one drink!" Ye Chen hurriedly raised his hand and swore.

"Miss Anna is so harsh, hehe." Jacques said embarrassedly, he never figured out the relationship between Ye Chen and Anna, Ye Chen had only vaguely told him that Anna was his sister. But Jacques is not an idiot, Ye Chen is a pure-blooded Chinese, and Anna is a standard French girl at first glance, how can the two be relatives.

And looking at the appearance of the two, they don't look like normal brothers and sisters.

But it didn't matter to Jacques, the thought flashed through his head, and Jacques turned his attention to the glass in front of him.

"Come on, come on, it's hard to get together once." Pierce excitedly raised his glass. Ye Chen and Jacques also echoed with their wine glasses, and with a crisp collision sound, the small gathering of the three of them officially began.

Half an hour later, Anna had finished eating and went to the study to read.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, looked at his empty wine glass and licked his lips.

"Come on, I still have a box in the car, and I'm not drunk today." Pierce whispered, pouring all the remaining wine in the bottle into Ye Chen's glass.

Looking at the wine glass that had become full again, Ye Chen said with determination: "The last glass, if you drink it again, you will be drunk!" ”

Another half hour passed.

There were four or five empty wine bottles on the table, Jacques and Pierce had fallen asleep on the table, and Ye Chen, the only one who was awake, had also become a little delirious.

"You ...... Two...... Okay, it's over......" Ye Chen pushed Jacques in a daze, and then grabbed the wine glass and wanted to drink again, but at this time a strange scene appeared.

A human face appeared on the surface of the wine, and then the human face gradually became larger, and gradually became a real thing, like Aladdin's magic lamp, and a little girl in a white dress actually floated out of the wine glass.

The girl landed lightly on the surface of the table and bowed politely to Ye Chen.

"I ...... No way! ”
