Chapter 540: Grape Picking

"Hold it up and cut it down...... Be sure not to cut it crookedly, and then put the cut out in this box...... Do you understand? Standing under the vines of the vineyard, Afra leaned on Jiang Hai's side with a serious face, telling him the precautions, unconsciously, the days of August have finally passed, and with the passage of time to September, the grapes in the manor have been more than 90% familiar, and today is also the first day of grape picking.

Counting Jiang Hai, since returning from Atlantic City, he has been at home for almost ten days.

This week he was not idle, first to teach Jiu Fei, and then to buy Arowana, a few days ago, after the fish tank was sent over, the fish tank was used for another day, according to the release of water, circulation, although these water are very pure groundwater, but Jiang Hai still according to the past habits in the country, put it for five days, only to drive his F650, to pick up the Arowana back.

In fact, Jiang Hai released water for so many days, which is a little redundant, because in China, it needs to be circulated for more than four days, mainly because the drinking water in most cities in China is basically the water in the water plant.

Bactericidal substances such as bleach are placed in it, which not only cools the water, but also kills most of the bacteria inside.

Therefore, after the water arrives at each house, it needs to be boiled before drinking, and if you raise fish, you also need to be sleepy for a while, because the chlorine in the water is very heavy, and after the fish is put in, if it is some broken fish, it is very adaptable, and the good fish die a lot because of this.

But in the United States, elsewhere Jiang Hai is not clear, but in Winthrop. his home. You don't have to.

Because of the line of the water veins in Jiang Hai's house. It is directly received from the Alabachian Mountains, almost the same as the water quality of a domestic spring brand, you can drink it directly, you don't need to burn, of course, there will be some sediment and the like, so every household has installed a water purification network, a very fine water purification network. Make sure that no residue comes over.

So this kind of water, in fact, you can drink it directly with the tap turned on, there are no chemicals, and there is no sediment.

But for the sake of insurance, Jiang Hai still filtered for five days before bringing the fish back.

The top of the fish tank, directly connected to the second floor, there is a lid where Jiang Hai wants to pour the fish in.

Before pouring it in, Jiang Hai consumed four pieces of aura. Inject these auras into the bodies of these fish.

As for what these fish eat, it's small fish. This is also a common sense in China, feeding the arowana is to feed the living.

Although some people say that such fish will lose their eyes, Jiang Hai believes that his aura is enough to help him.

As for the small fish caught, it is very simple, there are some in the river, there are not in the river, and there are still in the sea.

So these guys don't have to worry about their own food.

After two days of busy work, these fish finally settled down honestly in Jiang Hai's home, and Jiang Hai finally felt that he was going to relax a little more, when the grapes ripened and became the owner of the manor.

The most idle people in the manor, Jiang Hai and the others, were all called by Dulles-Gerard to help harvest the grapes.

"Uh......" Hearing Afra's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but sigh slightly embarrassed, because to be honest, she didn't listen carefully to what Afra said just now, because she was too close to herself just now.

Not only did he smell the faint scent of Afra's body, but most importantly, his body touched the back of Afra.

With a gentle rub together, Jiang Hai, who hadn't opened meat for many days, couldn't help but have some ...... Spiritual slip call.

"What do you think, if you do, I'll look for you in the evening." At first, seeing that Jiang Hai didn't react, Afra was stunned for a moment, but then she felt Jiang Hai somewhere, and her face couldn't help but turn red all of a sudden.

If it was in normal times, she wouldn't be happy that Jiang Hai would mean this to her, but not now.

It's not that she's shy, it's because these grapes, but they grow them with their own hands, and if they rot in the ground, she will be very distressed.

"Ahem, you misunderstood, ah, cut it like this, I know......" Hearing what Afra said, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, and then picked up a bunch of grapes and cut it, only to be slapped by Afra just after cutting.

"Cut here, root here, instead of cutting vines, are you going to let it grow grapes again next year? You can't cut it here, cut this! Hearing Afra's words, Jiang Hai also smiled, to be honest, he really didn't know this, but after listening to what Afra said, he also scratched his head and cut it seriously.

"Teacher, you're tired, take a break." When Jiang Hai was carefully cutting grapes, O'Connor Murphy in the distance also walked over with a big box of grapes with a smile and put it next to Dulles Gerard, who was still cutting grapes.

"Hey, it's okay." Although he was covered in sweat now, Gerald waved his hand unconcernedly.

In fact, his previous physical condition was not as good as it is now, after all, he was old, and there were no major illnesses in his body, and there were constant minor illnesses, but since he arrived at Jiang Hai's manor, he drank good water every day and ate food with aura, and any minor illness could be cured.

And the excess aura energy can also slowly transform the human body.

So don't look at Dulles-Gerrard's age, but his physical fitness is really good.

"It's not something that can be harvested in one day, teacher, you still need to prepare for brewing." Looking at Dulles Gerrard's unyielding appearance, O'Connor Murphy on this side also laughed and forcibly pulled him under the vine.

"Okay, okay, but I really didn't expect to harvest so many grapes this year." Looking at the bunches of grapes like jewels in the garden in front of him, Dulles-Gerard said with a satisfied expression.

"yes, I didn't expect that either." Hearing his words, O'Connor Murphy also spoke seriously.

In fact, when the grapes are just planted, the first year of climbing the vine, the main nutrition is concentrated on the vine, so the grapes will not produce grapes in the first year, and a small amount will bear some in the second and third years, and the grapes will be in full bloom later.

O'Connor and Dulles naturally knew this, and they came here to make money for Jiang Hai, they could wait, Jiang Hai couldn't wait, so they didn't buy new vines and grapes, in March, they directly bought four-year-old vines and planted them, but according to their ideas, although they were old vines, they were newly planted after all.

It would be nice if the first year could be a little longer, but they didn't expect that Jiang Hai was a treasure.

Kidding, the grapes grown in the first year have already caught up with the other estates, and the amount produced in the time of abundance in five or six years.

"Not only is the quantity good, but the quality of the grapes is also very good, so I wondered, isn't it Cabernet Sauvignon that we grow? How's this okay. Shaking his head, O'Connor pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and the moment the grape entered his mouth, the fresh aroma, accompanied by the sweet and sour, went straight to his taste buds, although he may be a little unbearable after eating too much, but I have to admit that the taste is very good.

It's not even worse than the grapes that can be sold.

"That's why I'm a little worried that it's going to be a bit of a hassle when it comes to removing the sugar." Hearing O'Connor's words, Dulles sighed, also pinched a grape and put it in his mouth, and said as he ate.

The grapes that make wine are different from the grapes that are eaten, and the grapes that are eaten are very sweet and sour, and they are very good to eat.

The grapes used to make wine are particularly sour, accompanied by an astringent taste, which is unpalatable to eat.

Anyone who has ever made wine knows that very few people like to eat it.

But winemaking is to use this grape to make it, and red wine is mainly to shave off the sugar in it, which is also the difference between ancient Chinese wine and foreign wine, but with Jiang Hai's aura.

Now Jiang Hai's grapes taste very good, which makes people a little embarrassed......

Now this grape is indeed still Cabernet Sauvignon, it is very large, very full, and very delicious, but no one knows what the taste of such grapes is made by wine, but now it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, try it.

"Okay, let's go on, according to Jiang's words, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's talk about it here, it's useless for us to say it here, wait until the grapes are harvested, brew a batch out, and taste the taste." Seeing that O'Connor also looked a little worried, Dulles smiled, even though it was the first time he had encountered this situation in decades of making red wine.

But he knew that he couldn't panic now, besides, Jiang Hai had also told him that these grapes tasted bad even if they were winemaking.

You must know that in the United States, the price of vegetables and fruits is not cheaper than meat, and with this abundant vineyard, he can't lose money when these grapes are sold, and he can even make a small profit of hundreds of thousands.

Of course, if it is made into wine, it is really profitable, and the most important thing is that Jiang Hai does not think that this grape can not be made into wine, everything must wait until it is brewed, there is nothing to worry about.

Unconsciously, the morning's picking time was over, and Jiang Hai and his team picked more than 30 boxes of grapes.

And these grapes actually only occupy about a tenth of this vineyard, and it seems that they will have to be busy for a while.

After eating at noon, because the weather outside was still a little hot, everyone did not go to pick grapes immediately.

Instead, he sat in his room, plucked the grapes from the vines, and threw them into large wooden barrels, which, according to Dulles Gerard, were traditional, though somewhat ...... Disgusting? (To be continued.) )
