Chapter 30 It's very French

A gentle kiss symbolizes the official opening of this year's harvest festival, and amidst the boisterous sound, people run to the large wooden barrels placed in the shade of the trees. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The women took off their shoes and socks and lifted their long skirts, while the men picked them up and placed them in the barrels containing the grapes.

Just as Ye Chen was stunned when he looked at this strange scene, Elaine beside him explained softly: "This is our tradition, the men harvest the grapes, and the women are responsible for pressing the grapes. ”

Although the flush on her face has not subsided, Elaine's voice is still the same as before, neither repulsive nor close, calm to death.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen couldn't calm down at all, not because of the kiss just now, but because it was difficult for him to understand what this group of French people were doing.

"Crushing grapes with your feet?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

As a Chinese, Ye Chen already felt that the environment in which he lived was worse, but when he saw this group of French women happily dancing with arms in the barrels full of grapes, Ye Chen was completely uncalm.

Oh my God, these grapes are going to be used to make French wine, one of the most stylish and covetable things in the world.

Maybe the grape juice under the feet of these women will become a drink on the table of some rich man that day, and nine times out of ten, this rich man will proudly introduce to the guests: "This is the rosé wine of Provence, France, the best rosé wine in the world!" ”

Not bad, very graphic. But why did Ye Chen feel weird.

"Of course, that's how we made wine a long time ago. When stepping on the grapes, the girls' feet will introduce fungi suitable for grape fermentation, so that the grape juice can develop healthily. It can be said that there is no French wine without the feet of the French girls! Bona didn't know where to come out, explained to Ye Chen, and then before Ye Chen could react, he had already pulled his schoolgirl and ran towards the crowd.

In Ye Chen's sight, Bona's female student Alina held on to the edge of the barrel and took off her shoes, and then jumped into the barrel with Bona's help like the other women, jumping with the other women, and the sound of laughter filled the entire forest.

"Very well, it's very French." Looking at this group of crazy women, such a word suddenly popped up in Ye Chen's mind.

"Don't you Chinese still say that tea leaves dried by tea pickers with their breasts are the best, and the group of people in Cuba don't shout all day that the cigars rolled out of the girls' thighs are the most delicious, isn't it strange that our French girls step on the wine with their feet?" Jacques also leaned over and said in a timely manner.

"Sounds like a lot of sense." Ye Chen nodded, and then looked at Elaine with bad intentions.

As if sensing the meaning in Ye Chen's gaze, Elaine hurriedly grabbed Jacques beside her and said, "No, I just have Jacques to help." With that, he pulled Jacques towards the crowd and left Ye Chen there alone.

"Really, kiss all the kisses." Looking not far away, Jacques carried Elaine into the barrel, and Ye Chen muttered dissatisfiedly.

Standing there, Ye Chen was thinking about whether to dance with this group of crazy Frenchmen, when he suddenly felt that his clothes were being pulled, he turned his head impatiently, but saw a pitiful little face.

"Ye Chen......"

"Ann, Anna!" Ye Chen was taken aback by Anna, and then he remembered that he didn't seem to have taken care of this girl since he entered the knight's manor.

With Anna's IQ, it's a blessing that she didn't get lost.

"Ye Chen, what did you do just now? I just searched for a long time and couldn't find you. Anna looked at Ye Chen and asked faintly, with a slight hint of complaint in her tone.

"I, haha. Let's not talk about that, do you want to go and dance with them? Ye Chen laughed and skillfully changed the topic, and then pointed to the women in the barrel not far away.

"Hmm!" Anna's eyes lit up as she looked at the women who were going crazy in the barrel, and she nodded vigorously.

"Let's go!" Ye Chen took Anna's little hand, and the two ran to a wooden barrel together, Anna took off her shoes and socks, and Ye Chen put Anna in the barrel with her arms.

Anna's body is very petite, but it is only a little more than one meter and a half, Ye Chen picked her up with a little force, and then almost used a throwing action to get Anna into the barrel easily.

As soon as she entered the barrel, Anna screamed, Ye Chen looked up, only to find that it was Alina and several girls who hugged a large handful of grapes and threw them on Anna's head, including the eldest lady Elaine.

The girls laughed at the fresh grape juice and helped her up, holding hands in the barrel.

On the periphery of the barrel, Bona and Jacques also grabbed Ye Chen and pulled him into the dancing team, a group of people of different ages were like children, dancing a simple dance without heart or lungs.

Under the beautiful camphor tree, a group of men danced to their heart's content, while in the barrels full of grapes, the women laughed happily, the purple grape juice stained their skirts red, and the white calves were hidden between the grapes, making it all seem incomparably fresh and beautiful.

………

The grapes in the barrels are ready to be transferred to the fermentation vats after the women have stepped on them, and it turns the juice into a living wine, just as Bona said, because the woman's trampling introduces the must's fermentation to the must, which will gradually convert the sugar in the must's sugar into alcohol over the next two months, thus transforming the must into a living wine.

The grape stampede was over, and it was already dusk. After bathing and changing into clean clothes, the people went to the lawn of the Château of Knights, where two long tables were set up with all kinds of food, loaves, lobsters, roasts, etc. In addition, there is a square table on each side of the table, and on the square table is a glass tower made of glasses.

When Ye Chen returned to the manor, the experienced staff was holding a wine bottle and pouring wine from the wine glass at the top of the glass tower, when the first wine glass was full, the wine would automatically overflow to the three wine glasses on the second floor, and so on, when the last layer of wine glasses was poured, Ye Chen was shocked to find that the wine was not spilled at all!

And in the innermost part of the manor, near the door of Elaine's brother and sister's apartment, a simple stage had been set up at this time, and several musicians dressed in very fashionable clothes were tuning on the stage.

"Every year at the Harvest Festival, Château Cavalier invites one or two of France's more famous bands to sing, but I don't know which one to invite this year?"

"I don't like to listen to rock, I like country music."

A couple walked past Ye Chen, and through their conversation, Ye Chen finally understood what that stage was for.

Just invite a band to celebrate the harvest, well, it's very French.
