Chapter 25 A Visit to the Winery
Zhou Yi makes more than one jar of wine, more than one kind.
It's more like a brew than an experiment.
Distinguish from the materials used to make the wine, and see the difference.
Needless to say, the result was all in Zhou Yi's expectation - the best wine is naturally brewed in the space with grapes and spiritual water in the space that has evolved today, and it has long been forgotten by Zhou Yi, and he didn't even think of the wine that Zhou's mother didn't think of when she arrived - the four words "Qiong Jelly Jade Dew" are worthy of evaluation. The taste of it is unthinkable for those who are idle.
The next level is the use of materials in the space, and the wine brewed outside the space is the kind that Zhou's mother drinks; It's a pity that Zhou's mother has seen a lot of good things here in Zhou Yi now, and for such things, it is not so rare and sensitive. Although I think it is delicious, I have a taste in it, and I have an emotional memory brewing and fermenting, but it is not the first time that outsiders have come into contact with the amazing feeling of space things, and they are regarded as immortal products.
What's worse is that Zhou Yi selects a part of the grapes that are watered by the spiritual water the most by the house, and makes it with a mountain spring diluted with spiritual spring water, which can be regarded as a delicious drink for Zhou Yi.
Again, it is made with Dongtian grapes and water from Dongtian Lake, and it can barely be eaten. After all, it is made of Dongtian grapes, and the lake water used is soaked by the mountain spring water that dilutes the spiritual water flowing out of the ditch, and it is also somewhat spiritual.
The worst is the wine made from ordinary mountain streams. Although the water is still a good water in the stone, it is moist with spiritual water, and when it comes to Zhou Yi's mouth, it is one layer worse after all; Although the grapes are good grapes, the Zhouyi process is not up to par, and the lack of absolute advantages in materials highlights the roughness of the process, even so, it is much better than the general wine on the market.
Wine is a thing, six or seven parts of the color lies in the quality of the grapes, only three or four points in the wine making process, and the quality of the grapes in the cave is easy to see; Therefore, even if the craftsmanship is inferior, the quality of the wine is obvious.
Aside from the brewing experiment of Zhou Yi.
He saw that so many vines were blooming, and in a few days they were going to bear fruit again, and the yield of grapes per 1,000 acres of land, at the rate of fruit-bearing last year, was about nearly two tons per mu, and 1,000 acres was 2,000 tons.
With so many grapes, Zhou Yi wants to maintain the high price of grapes and continue to raise prices, and starvation sales are necessary.
Of course, the so-called "hunger sales" are all supplements to Zhouyi's wine plan, and most importantly, Zhouyi not only wants to sell grapes directly, but also wants to make grapes into products to increase the added value of grapes.
Uncle Zhou, who has ideas, money and leisure, naturally wants to realize it.
If we want to carry out large-scale production, we naturally can't make a fuss like we do now, and let our own temperament do it. He needs to be familiar with the procedures and processes of winemaking in wineries, and purchase winemaking equipment to operate them.
He opened a well-known wine forum.
Dongtian Xiaoyaozi: Friend, didn't you say that you opened a winery at the foot of Mt. Lanhe? Do you have any time lately? I'm planning to build a winery and make wine, can I come to you to visit and learn?
"Dongtian Xiaoyaozi" is a screen name taken by Zhou Yi indiscriminately.
He's now in that wine forum, and he's a bit famous. Because he has a lot of time, he often pours water on the forum and buys all kinds of low, medium and high-end wine tastings; Under the nonsense, almost all the acquaintances in the forum know that this guy is a domestic vineyard owner and a local tyrant in the countryside, as for some gossip people guessing, someone is the second generation of hidden wealth, Zhou Yi laughed and said nothing.
Mingcheng Gongzi: I don't have any other hobbies, just good friends. Friends, you can come, accommodation, drinks, hospitality and travel fun, brother is all inclusive!
Zhou Yi looked at the flash of reply, and almost saw a bold and inclusive big man patting his chest and talking.
Zhou Yi was a little polite to him, asked for the address, took the contact information, and didn't say more, and went to the forum again, who knew that when he opened the "glass of wine rivers and lakes", there was a hot spot, as if it was sent by Mingcheng Gongzi: Dongtian Xiaoyaozi wants to visit someone's small winery, and wait for someone to reveal his face of Lushan!
In the post, in addition to talking about Zhou Yi's affairs, he inevitably continued to advertise his own small winery, pasted countless landscape photos, and invited all wine friends to visit the winery.
It's such a post.,Because it involves two characters.,Both are super sofas that are often filled with water in the forum.,It quickly attracted everyone's attention.,What's even more strange is that I don't know what madness Banzhu has.,I actually added a fine.,Make this post a mess.,It also made someone proud.。
In fact, this season is not a good time to visit wineries, especially for small wineries in the country, there are no new wines, no ripe grapes, and it is completely stupid to stare at the grape fields. Therefore, although the post is hot, although there is a strong invitation from "Mingcheng Gongzi", the number of applicants is also very small, a few, and it is also booked to visit the autumn grape ripening season.
When Gongzi Mingcheng received a call from Zhou Yi, he didn't expect Zhou Yi to act so fast.
On the first day, I drove to Baisha on the same day, and Zhou Yi, who was so energetic that he had nowhere to vent, flew to Chuanyin overnight, took a break, ate some local specialties, and drove straight to the destination.
When Gongzi Mingcheng received a call from Zhou Yi and was about to come out to answer it, Zhou Yi had already arrived near the vineyard at the eastern foot of Lanhe Mountain.
Zhou Yi looked at a foreigner and a woman in her thirties and forties in front of him, dumbfounded.
"Hello, are you a 'cave sky Xiaoyaozi'?" The woman looked at Zhou Yi, who was surprisingly young and had a loose temperament, and felt that the person in front of her was still compatible with the word "Xiaoyao" on the screen; Looking at what he is wearing, it is in line with the speculation of the rich second generation on the forum.
Zhou Yi looked at the woman who stretched out her hand and didn't seem to hesitate much, and said in surprise: "Are you 'Mingcheng' - 'Childe'?" Despite his doubts, he reached out and shook the woman's hand in a friendly manner.
"I'm just, what, not like it?" The woman smiled and blinked, and her slightly dark and yellow face with a little wrinkle suddenly became vivid.
"It's not quite like 'Childe.'" A lot of people in the forum are going to be scared to pee! ”
The woman smiled, didn't answer, pulled the bearded foreigner who had been smiling and looking at the two of them, and introduced: "This is my lover, you can call him Miller." He met me when I was studying in France. ”
"Miller? Much like the artist's name. Zhou Yi said.
"Hello, my name is Miller, Zhang Cheng's husband." The bearded French "old man", wearing a pair of rubber shoes, with mud on his big rough and long-haired hands, spoke Mandarin mixed with local dialect pronunciation, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Zhou Yi.
"Thank you for the compliment, although I was born into a peasant family like that 'sower' 'Miller', I am far worse than him." He said with a smile. As a Frenchman, I seem to be born with an artistic element.
It's a pity that Zhou Yi is not the art lover he imagined. His words are destined to play the piano to the cow.
Zhou Yi still has a little fun and appreciation for traditional Chinese art, but he is not sensitive to the vast majority of Western art.
He said, "Miller, it's a lot like an artist's name," which was just a familiar name to him, maybe he heard such a name in a class many years ago, and suddenly remembered it and said it casually.
In any case, in short, this friendly meeting quickly shortened the distance between the three of them.
After entertaining Zhou Yi for dinner, let him wash up and rest for a night, and on the second day, the two people who had already known Zhou Yi's purpose led Zhou Yi to visit their own winery.
Chinese wineries, especially such small wineries, have almost no history, and are far from being like foreign countries - many vineyards are almost museums of wine and even the history and art of Western culture.
But Zhang Cheng still has something for Zhou Yi to show - her winery, passed down from his father, has a history of several decades, although it is still only a small winery, but there are still some things worth her "showing off" and aftertaste.
Because she was sent to France by her father to study winemaking, coupled with the French husband, the couple who know the role of soft culture on wine itself, in the past two years, they have gradually organized and established a small showroom to introduce wine culture, the inheritance of wineries, and the knowledge of various tastings and brewing of wine.
Zhou Yi was almost the first guest in this small showroom.
He stopped in front of a picture of wine grape varieties, looked at the picture and text, and said stupidly: "It turns out that the grapes that make wine are different from the grapes we usually eat!" ”
"Puff - have you always thought that the grapes used for wine are similar to the grapes you eat?" Zhou Cheng felt that this was something that could not be more common. She didn't expect that the "water god" who often poured water in the forum, and the people who clamed for the establishment of wine estates, didn't even know such knowledge.
Zhou Yi looked at the introduction of wine grapes: thick skin, large seeds, thin flesh, and high sweetness - isn't this the wild thorn grape on his own mountain?
Although the new grape varieties in Dongtian have a lot more flesh and a lot larger fruits, they have inherited the genes of wild grapes, and they still have thick cortex, round and large grains, and most importantly, after his simple experiments, the wine quality is good.
Originally, he was still muttering, Dongtian grape seeds are big and thick, how to improve it better, but now he suddenly found that there was still a "wine grape" word, and he immediately smiled.
Zhou Yi saw the exhibition hall, and at his strong request, Zhang Cheng accompanied him to the grape production workshop.
At this time, the grape production workshop was vacant because the grapes were not ripe; All kinds of instruments inside, shining silver, were placed haphazardly.
"Do you really want to build a winery? In Shonan? Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Yi constantly asking around the winemaking equipment, with a curious and serious look, thinking that when he came here to play, he said that he wanted to "build a winery", and couldn't help but be surprised.
She didn't take Zhou Yi's words of "building a winery" to heart.
The establishment of many wineries in China, at the beginning, comes entirely from the owner's love and understanding of wine, from drinking wine to self-brewing, and then embarking on the road of factory production, and the last step is to establish a winery.
Her family is like this, and even many foreign wineries, at the beginning, were far from being built overnight.
But the person in front of her, looking at his performance on the forum, is a new tender hobby, who doesn't even know that making wine requires special wine grapes, and said that he wants to build a winery, which is really surprising!
What's more, in the place of Shonan, the warm and pleasant and rainy subtropical climate, it is good to live in it, and grow wine grapes...... No famous winery, no "grape belt" has ever been in such a climate.
Zhou Yi looked at the other party anxiously and continued to popularize the knowledge of wine grape cultivation to him, and the other party looked at him with an unrepentant look, and almost didn't want to explain in his heart: "Brother has a mysterious space as a super cheat, invincible, how can he not grow a grape?" ”
Of course, this cannot be said, but only that people will never believe it, and most likely, he will be sent to a psychiatric hospital.
"I found a wild grape at home, which I named the alpine grape, and it was similar to a wine grape in the mountains. In the local climate, it also grows well. ”
"My current vineyard is full of improved varieties of this grape."
"Some time ago, I made some wine from the grapes I planted! It tastes pretty good! It's a pity that I didn't bring it here, otherwise I would have let you taste it. ”
Zhang Cheng, as a person in his thirties and forties who still maintains a young heart, felt so powerless for the first time.
She didn't believe in how good wine could be made from a man who didn't know what a wine grape was, using wild grape varieties from the mountains, with primitive and crude techniques.
Perhaps, this is just a joke of the rich second generation!
"Dude, you play like this, do your parents know?" In desperation, Zhang Cheng seemed to return to the state of the forum, and complained in front of Zhou Yi.
"It's okay, my brother has a lot of money, so I have to spend it hard!" Zhou Yi also felt that no matter how much he strengthened his tone and his own explanation, in the eyes of experts, he was so powerless. He simply broke the jar and broke it, pushed the boat down the river, and played the role of a rich second generation who had nowhere to spend his money.
The last visit is the wine cellar.
"Wine cellars need to have a constant temperature all year round, ideally around 13 degrees Celsius. Of course, this can be fine-tuned based on personal experience and alcohol content and the quality of the wine......"
Zhou Yi listened to Zhang Cheng's words, and immediately thought of those caves in the cave, aren't they the ideal wine warehouse? All natural!
A one-day visit to the winery was spent in Zhang Cheng's helplessness and Zhou Yi's curiosity.
Zhou Yi didn't expect that after he had eaten a warm meal of hand-handled mutton, after lying down on the bed coolly, Zhang Cheng went to a wine forum and left a full article of complaints about Zhou Yi, a "little white face", "rich second generation" and "ignorant cheaters".
She is not afraid of Zhou Yi seeing it, because it is not uncommon for such friends to complain after meeting in the forum; Moreover, in the only knowledge and worldview she has, she feels that what she says is what she "saw with her own eyes", and there is no slander at all.
A certain forum looked at the photos that broke out one after another, and made a fuss-
Read to the white head: the sofa is watery, sit first and then watch
The old man wants to drink: upstairs-masturbation-out hand speed
Niruo: It turns out that "Dongtian Xiaoyaozi" is so handsome and pink a little fresh meat, begging for a bag-raiser!
Boiled water salty: The rich second generation, I guessed right, the money was spent, and a winery was built in the mountains of Shonan, and I served you!
Golden Gate Hero: I am optimistic about this kid, he has a future, he has courage, and most importantly, he has a strong brain and creativity - he will open a winery in Shonan
Past Life Beach: Can I complain about the various second generations? Sure enough, if you are rich, you will be willful! @洞天逍遥子, kneel and beg for support!
Gu Dong: @洞天逍遥子, didn't you say you started your business from scratch before? Self-made, are you so two? It can't be stealing your dad's white gloves......
Amin: Stupid fork cheats, don't explain!
Ban'er You: I only saw Dongtian Xiaoyaozi, and Mingcheng Gongzi also showed his face......
Ming Cheng Gongzi: A rough man, @板儿油口味太重?
……
――――
The above tricks are not responsible for entering indiscriminately.
In addition, there is actually a "winery" in Shonan, which should have been newly built in recent years due to breakthroughs in planting technology; However, in the wine industry, there is no presence at all.
Thank you for the support of "Past Life Beach" and "Reading to the White Head"!
Regarding the urging of "beach land in my previous life", someone wants to say that four or five thousand a day is probably my temporary limit, after all, there are other things to do every day, and writing is a hobby after all, and I can't delay my main business.
