Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei was woken up by the sound of David slamming the door. £∝ Tint Novel, the old man's breathless voice drilled into his ears through the window:

"Xiao, boss, are you up?"

This old man, today is the day of the bonus, is he really not afraid that Xiao Yifei will deduct his bonus?

opened the window directly, and the cold air outside made Xiao Yifei shiver. David was seen and another old man standing in front of the door, as if it was the old sommelier, now the acting winery manager Eric. Blacknose bounced around them and played with him.

"What for?"

"Boss, do you want to be Santa Claus?"

I'll go, there's something wrong, ask this early in the morning? He seems to be Santa Claus today, but instead of small gifts, he gives everyone checks. Why didn't anyone send me a check?

"Not at all."

"Oh, excuse me, you go back to sleep. Black nose, go, I'll take you to something delicious. ”

David and Eric happily walked away with the black nose. Xiao Yifei was dumbfounded, there is something wrong with these two old men, they slammed the door early in the morning to ask this? I continued to sleep, and I was woken up and what were I sleeping.

Xiao Yifei complained as he cleaned up and went downstairs to make breakfast. After a while, Wang Nan, who was also woken up by two old men, also came out.

"It smells so good, did you make it? I can't tell you still have this hand. ”

Xiao Yifei took a look, it was fried eggs, bread and milk, where was the fragrance? Except for the bread, which is made with wheat from Isis Space, the others are bought in supermarkets, which is very ordinary.

"That's because you're hungry."

"Let's go buy champagne after dinner, okay?"

"You had a grudge against Champagne in your last life? Let's take a look at how you've been doing these days. ”

"What's going on in the vineyard? Why did you beat gongs and drums early in the morning. ”

"You'll find out when you see it later."

As soon as he went out, Wang Nan began to chatter:

"The vineyards are yours?"

Xiao Yifei pointed to her. She then became interested in the workers working in the vineyards:

"What are they doing in the vineyard?"

"That's setting up drip irrigation, that's installing fans."

"Fan? Why install a fan? ”

Xiao Yifei could only explain to her again. It's the black nose that doesn't know where it came out.

Xiao Yifei looked at the progress of these workers a little, glanced around, and did not see David, but his two subordinates were supervising the work. Xiao Yifei chatted with them for a few words and told them to go to the winery for a while.

On the way, I passed by the plot where they were cutting in winter, and I didn't see David, or his subordinates overseeing the work. This old man, wake himself up early in the morning, where did he run away without work? Did you go to the winery? Xiao Yifei looked at the time. It's still a while before I arrive, so why don't I run to the winery so early to receive the year-end bonus?

Coming to the winery, Xiao Yifei consciously hung up the black-nosed dog leash, although Monterena does not restrict pets from entering, but the winery may have tourists at any time, a dog running around, how much will affect the mood of some tourists. The black nose had long known the rules, and honestly followed behind Xiao Yifei.

There were no visitors to the tasting room yet, and it was the deliberately snarky Beth who went to work.

“hi。 Blacknose, did you miss me? ”

The black nose was made by the smell of perfume on her body, and turned her head to look at Xiao Yifei. This girl has to tease the black nose every time she comes back, but the black nose never gives her a good face.

"You have no conscience, I fed you when the boss abandoned you."

Xiao Yifei's face darkened:

"You're pretty quiet today. Has the wine woken up, and has the glass been wiped clean? ”

Beth stood up. seems to have only seen Wang Nan now:

"Boss, have you changed your girlfriend again?"

Depend on. There is something wrong with this guy, every time he sees Xiao Yifei with his female companion, he deliberately snorts, which makes Xiao Yifei have goosebumps all over his body.

Wang Nan, who was following behind, also asked in a weird way:

"Yo, who's this?"

I'll go, I won't stage a tearing x battle between the two daughters fighting for their husbands on the spot, I have nothing to do with the two of you.

"Beth. Then tease the boss, and when you give out the year-end bonus, be careful, I can't remember you. ”

Beth went on to perform:

"Boss, don't, people have worked hard for a year, I have already taken a fancy to a dress, so I pointed to the year-end bonus. It's a big deal, you can do whatever you want. ”

After speaking, maybe it was funny, and a coquettish smile actually appeared.

"You're so naughty. What about Kim? ”

"He's on his turn today, but he's coming over later, you know?"

"Boss, how many year-end bonuses are there?"

"You'll know when you get it later, what are you asking about now?"

Beth exclaimed again:

"Boss."

Xiao Yifei shuddered:

"Okay, you better talk about people."

Wang Nan probably could see that Xiao Yifei should have nothing to do with this woman.

"Beth, this is my friend Alice, you can try Chardonnay for her."

Xiao Yifei planned to fool the past, anyway, champagne is generally white, and Chardonnay is also white.

"I want champagne."

"It's not cultured, it's called sparkling wine. Out of the French champagne region, who dares to call champagne now. ”

"Then I want sparkling wine."

"You came to my winery to ask for sparkling wine, you smashed the field. Beth, change her for Riesling. ”

Riesling has a slightly sweet taste, but it is colorless, and compared to sparkling wine, it is just no bubbles. A $25 Riesling is cheaper than a $50 Chardonnay, and you can save a bit.

As a result, this girl actually wanted sparkling wine, Xiao Yifei had no tricks:

"Beth, which of our closest wineries has the best sparkling wine?"

"That's Schramsberg, of course."

"World Brewing Borg, is their winery's sparkling wine really good?"

"Of course, they're the best in Napa or even California."

You just blow it, and you're not afraid that the cowhide will blow up. Xiao Yifei was too lazy to talk to Beth, and turned around to appease Wang Nan:

"You taste the wine here first, and I'll go look around the other places. I have time to take you to buy sparkling wine. ”

"Wherever you're going, I'm going too."

"I've got something to do."

Entering the small conference room, the middle and senior management of the winery were basically waiting. David and Eric, who woke him up in the morning, were of course there, and it seemed that everyone was very active in taking the money.

Xiao Yifei didn't talk nonsense, and took out the year-end bonus check prepared by the winery's finances.

"I know there's something going on for everyone, so let's get started."

When the check arrived, everyone looked at the amount and smiled with satisfaction. David flicked the check with his finger before he folded it up satisfied, put it in his pocket, and reached out to pat it.

"Don't panic, everyone, it's just the year-end bonus that the winery gives you, and then my personal thanks to everyone for your help during this time is a little little, I hope you don't mind."

Xiao Yifei took out red envelopes one by one, which he bought in a Chinese supermarket in Los Angeles. There is a fixed amount check in it.

A few people couldn't wait to open the red envelope, and David actually dared to complain:

"Why is it so troublesome, just give it to us."

Xiao Yifei glared at him:

"This is our Chinese custom, this is called red envelopes."

David looked at the face value of his check, and actually leaned over to look at Eric's face.

"Don't look at it, it's all a thousand dollars, and everyone is the same to express my gratitude to you, to say that you are both as important as me."

Xiao Yifei casually said a reason.

"Red envelopes?"

These two words Xiao Yifei speaks Chinese. It's a pity that they made it a "Hangzhou bag".

The next thing is for everyone to bring people from their own departments to the conference room to receive the year-end bonus and red envelopes, and Xiao Yifei finished distributing the red envelopes. I said a few words to each team, thank you for your hard work this year, and hope that everyone will work harder in the coming year. For low-income employees, coupled with the $1,000 red envelope given by Xiao Yifei personally, their income is a little higher than last year, which is already good in this period.

Tomorrow is Christmas. The winery is closed, and everyone will enjoy the Christmas break after work at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It is said that for office workers, the Christmas holiday is only one day or one and a half days. But in practice, many people simply take annual leave back-to-back so that they can have a long, long vacation. Even up to a month.

In the wine industry, because everyone is very busy, vacations are generally concentrated in winter and early spring. Therefore, the winery simply starts tomorrow and continues to be closed until after the New Year, so that everyone can have a good time for ten days.

In this big holiday, the winery must still have someone to work overtime, and the overtime is only the tasting room team and the vineyard team. The tasting room team was the penultimate to come in, and Xiao Yifei sent out red envelopes and asked them in detail about their holiday duty arrangements. The vineyard team was the last to come in, and after handing out the red envelopes, Xiao Yifei had to say a few words as usual, and then asked about the holiday arrangement.

"I just asked, tomorrow Ah Pei and they will not have a holiday, so we may also have someone on duty, and the two installation equipment will also start work from the day after tomorrow, and we will not leave it for so long this time."

"Work is going to start tomorrow?"

"Most of them are the kind of people who don't want to spend Christmas here alone. Besides, their progress was a little slow in the early stage, so they had to catch up with the progress. ”

The winter pruning process was indeed a bit slow, and it took them half a month to prune 50 acres at first, so it would take four months to prune the winery's existing 390 acres, which is definitely not possible.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yifei remembered the vineyard he had newly purchased and the hosting company.

"David, in the next year I will become a vineyard management company, and your whole team will first put a name on this company."

"Vineyard management company?"

Xiao Yifei told him his overall thinking about the winery and the intermediary.

"Then the management company will inevitably use black ......"

"No, the management company can outsource the work."

David nodded, understanding Xiao Yifei's train of thought.

After finishing the business, Xiao Yifei began to gossip:

"What are you talking about with Eric about Santa Claus early in the morning, you see I'm going to be Santa Claus this morning."

"Xiao, you don't know, do you?"

"Don't know what?"

"Forget it, you'll find out in the afternoon."

"You guy. Okay, I don't bother to care what you sell, I'm going to go to the horse farm to be Santa Claus. (To be continued......)
