Section 48: Transplanting old vines
After a small episode, Ye Mo sat down in a quiet position in the corner.
Mike brought him a drink: "Cheers." β
"Cheers."
After drinking, Ye Mo asked, "How is the operation of the bar?" β
"Very nice. This month's net profit was 138,000. The venue is large, and there are many customers. Mike was smug and said, "I'll remit this month's profits to your account tomorrow." β
"Hmm." Ye Mo nodded, a net profit of 138,000 a month is indeed something to be proud of, this profit is higher than his Bai Ge winery: "The bar business is good, please hire two more security guards." Be sure to ensure the safety of your guests. β
βOKγβ Profits are divided according to shares, and Mack has 49 percent of the shares, 67,000. According to the previous agreement, half of Mike's profits every month will be returned to Ye Mo, leaving 33,500. It's so much better than it used to be.
"Ye, that brown-haired beauty is looking at you."
Ye Mo turned his head, and the beauty smiled sweetly at him.
"Wouldn't you like to have a romantic evening? I think she's interesting to you. β
"Forget it, she's not my thing."
Back at home, White Spot and the princess were still playing around the house, chasing each other, but fortunately they didn't bite anything.
The little squirrel lay quietly on the sofa, looked at Ye Mo coming back, pointed at the Labrador running around the house with an aggrieved expression, and then patted its flat little belly. It may be that the Labrador is making trouble, or it may be that the food that Ye Mo left for it in the morning was snatched away by the Labrador. Although the little squirrels are powerful, the two stupid ones are also very good. The big guys, and the source liquid has been taken, and they are strong and strong, and the two of them often bully the little squirrels together.
Ye Mo was a little distressed, and took the dried fruit from the refrigerator: "Here." β
The little squirrel picked up the dried fruit and ate it, obviously hungry.
This little squirrel is cute and cute, and it looks like it should have been born for a few months.
After feeding it three nuts, Ye Mo didn't dare to feed it anymore, for fear that it would eat and support its stomach. Then the little thing stared at Ye Mo pitifully......
"It's almost enough." Ye Mo put away the dried fruit and patted his thigh: "Come here." β
The little squirrel jumped up very obediently, Ye Mo picked it up, looked at its furry belly, and flicked it on its little Ding Ding with a wicked taste: "Little boy, it's time to give you a name." β
"What about the name Kim? Look at your golden ......"
"Squeak." The little thing shook its head and screamed.
Ye Mo didn't understand, and only felt that the little thing didn't seem to be very satisfied with the name: "Why don't you call it gold coins...... Gold bar? Gold Bricks? β
"Okay. I'll call you a gold bar. β
"Gold bars, from now on you will not be wild gold bars but domestic gold bars, pay attention to hygiene." Ye Mo picked it up and went to the bathroom: "I'll give you a bath." The little thing has been living in the wild all the time, and I thought that there was a lot of dirt hidden under its golden fur, but when I used the shower gel to clear the little thing, I couldn't find a little dirt: "Well, I admit it, you are a very clean young man." β
"Squeak."
The two stupid ones in the house are too naughty. One doesn't pay attention, and the home is often messy. It's better than gold bars, not too noisy, and smarter than Labrador.
The harvest festival is over, and it's grape harvest season in Napa Valley.
The tourism boom in Park Song Manor continues, and the final ultimate treasure has been found with seven keys, and the remaining key treasure maps have all been found, but they are scattered in the hands of different people, and it is only a matter of time before the final ultimate treasure is revealed.
During this time, Park Ge Manor has gained a lot of money. In addition to fame, there is also actual income.
During the crazy treasure hunt, Kevin sold a total of 67,000 maps of the Waka Mountains, with a net profit of 120,000. The rental business of mountain bikes and camping tents has a net profit of 50,000 yuan. The huge flow of people has made Kevin sell a large number of peripheral products and commemorative gifts, with a huge profit of 300,000 yuan.
Park Ge Restaurant is considered a high-cost restaurant in Napa Valley, and Park Ge Restaurant has been full during the event, with a profit of more than 350,000 yuan in ten days. The largest head is the ChΓ’teau Distillery, where many of the wines that have been aged to their peak have been emptied, and various red wines are sold, which is almost two-thirds of the reserves of the ChΓ’teau Distillery. For a long time to come, there will be no need for distributors at Park Color. There may even be a lack of sales......
The winery sells directly without middlemen, and the red wine here is one-fifth cheaper than the market. According to Kevin's incomplete statistics, more than 160,000 tourists came to Park Ge during the event. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, the vast plains of the Pak Ge Valley are full of cars, and the road into the valley is almost crowded.
Overall, it was a very successful event.
The $1.65 million spent on the event was a small profit, and more importantly, at least a third of Internet users in the United States knew about Park Ge Winery through the event.
Next, Kevin intends to build a website for Park Parker. Once the harvest is over, Park Cord will limit the number of visitors unless they are members of the winery, and ordinary visitors will need to apply in advance to enter Park Color.
Ye Mo's definition of Park Song Winery is a high-end route.
Just like the Howling Eagle, the Deer Leap, the Joseph Phelps Winery. The number of visitors to the estate is limited and the highest level of service is provided.
It's not easy to achieve this step, you have to take your time, and Ye Mo is not anxious.
After breakfast, Ye Mo got on an all-terrain vehicle and drove Bai Dots and the princess to exercise.
As soon as he went out, Robert, who was walking towards him, beckoned and shouted, "Hi BOSS, isn't your phone turned on?" Steve called me and asked you to go to the vineyard. β
"Did Steve say something about me?" Ye Mo stopped the car and asked.
"He wants you to go to the vineyard and discuss something with you. As for what he didn't say, you know, Steve is a man who is in a hurry......"
"I didn't bring a phone, you call him and tell him that I'm already leaving."
"Okay."
Workers are picking grapes in the vineyard.
Steve was standing on the edge of the vineyard when he saw Ye Mo coming over and said, "BOSS, are you serious about what we talked about last time?" β
"What was the last time we talked about it?" Ye Mo filtered it in his mind, then remembered, and said, "Of course it's serious." β
Steve smiled and said, "You need the best grapes to make top wines." Obviously, the vines in our vineyards are not yet up to this standard. The vines on our estate are more than 40 years old vines with well-developed root systems......"
"Isn't the old vine very nice?" Ye Mo thought that Steve was going to replace the vines, and he was a little unacceptable, so he interrupted.
"The old vine is very good. The problem is that the old vines here are too dense. The 40-year-old vine vine extends at least five square meters of underground rhizomes. But here, the two vines are only 1.5 meters apart. I built yΓ¬, and only four of the ten old vine trees were kept, so that the remaining grapes could absorb more nutrients. β
Ye Mo is a vine farmer and knows more or less about this knowledge. In general, vines can live for more than 80 years, and in the wine industry, vines that are more than 40 years old are generally referred to as old vines. The main branches of the vine that are more than 40 years old are at least as thick as the thighs of adults. But the old vine here is also thicker than Ye Mo's arm.
As far as he knows, most old vine vines have vines at least 3.5 meters apart, many of them 4 meters or even more than 5 meters.
The older the vine is, the more developed its root system and the more nutrients it can absorb from the soil. As the vine ages, its fruit yield decreases. In this way, the nutrients it absorbs are more concentrated in the distribution of each bunch, resulting in a more intense flavor.
"OK, let's dig it." Ye Mo lit a cigarette and said, "Choose some good quality, dig them out as much as possible, and transplant them to the hillside of my villa." β
"It's not transplant season. I'll keep some and come back to porting at the end of the year. β
"I want about 2,000 plants, more Cabernet Sauvignon and less Zinfandel."
