After a few days of studying, Xiao Yifei finally finished learning what Jesse spent an hour talking about that day, and after previewing the next content, he drove to Berkeley again.

Or the café near the school, Xiao Yifei only waited for a while, and Jesse Shi Ran appeared.

"It's a gift for you."

Jesse naturally took the red wine handed over by Xiao Yifei.

"You really gave me red wine, thank you, I love this gift."

Next, Jesse began to check the content that Xiao Yifei had studied on his own in the past few days, and found that Xiao Yifei had mastered it well. When explaining new knowledge, because Xiao Yifei had already pre-studied some of it, this time it was much faster.

There is also a Chinese restaurant near the school, so the lunch for the two is the weird Zuo Zongtang chicken that can't be seen in China. Please, Lord Zuo can't fight every day, where did he get the kung fu to make chickens. In addition, this dish is to hammer the chicken loose, fry it and then pour it with sweet sauce, which is the practice of Chinese food.

When paying the bill, although Jesse proposed AA, Xiao Yifei was embarrassed to ask her to pay.

"Continue in the afternoon?"

Xiao Yifei shook his head, the new content of more than two hours in the morning was already close to his brain capacity, and any more of it would explode.

"No, it's too much. Why don't you take me around your school, I haven't seen what an American university is like. ”

American universities are indeed different from those in China, and the biggest difference in appearance is that there is no school gate. The whole school feels like a school for Xiao Yifei, but like a forest park. It is not at all obvious that among the alumni of this university, there are 70 winners of the world's top scientific awards such as the Nobil Prize, 15 Turing Awards, and even 20 Academy Award winners. Won 159 Olympic gold medals. Berkeley's achievements in science, arts, athletics and more are difficult for many private universities to match.

Jesse smiled and told Xiao Yifei that there is an exaggerated saying that it is said that an old man who is not good-looking on campus may be a Nobel Prize winner. This made Xiao Yifei suddenly awe here, this is simply Shaolin Temple, any sweeping monk may be the first master of martial arts.

The campus is quiet. The campus is very green, and the tall trees with strange shapes require two or three people to hug them. The wide lawn, the withered yellow fallen leaves, the old teaching building in the shade of green trees, and the old and tall bell tower. (The bell tower actually costs $2 for an admission.) Are you a school or a scenic spot? ）

"Isn't that pretty? Then you should be even more amazed when you watch Stanford. ”

When Xiao Yifei heard this, he immediately became curious about Stanford. Stanford and Berkeley are two of the most famous universities in the Bay Area, and although Stanford is private and Berkeley is public, they are brothers and rivals in a sense. Generally faced with this situation. Everyone admires their alma mater, is Stanford really so beautiful that its rival students are admiring it? Xiao Yifei had an urge to go to Stanford to see and see.

In the process of walking around the campus, Xiao Yifei saw a lot of Chinese or Asian faces, and it seems that Berkeley University will have a nickname related to Chinese at some point. And the most Chinese I see are near the library, and it is not unreasonable for Chinese Americans to have good grades.

Xiao Yifei's other feeling is not to look at Berkeley's old campus, but in the face of that pile of achievements, you really can't underestimate it, maybe this is what Mei Yiqi, president of Qinghua University, said in his inaugural speech: "The so-called university is not a building, but also a master." In addition, Liu Yuxi said, "The mountain is not high. There is a name for immortals. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual", which is probably the situation of the situation.

The two unknowingly wandered to the school's art museum. There is also a cinema here, and Xiao Yifei saw that there was a promotional poster for "2012" at the entrance of the theater. The publicity of this movie some time ago made a lot of noise, which made the apocalyptic plot that many Americans already have to a higher level, and even Xiao Yifei was thinking about whether he would be able to survive if the end really came.

Some time ago, he still remembered that he wanted to watch this movie, and he was busy in the dark these days. If he hadn't seen the poster today, he wouldn't have remembered this:

"Huh. 2012 was released? ”

"yes, it was released yesterday."

Sweat. Yesterday was the 13th, and it was Friday, which is the standard Black Friday, and this film was selected to be released on this day, which seems to be a bad omen.

"Beautiful Teacher Jesse, may I invite you to watch a movie?"

Jesse was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Yifei.

"You want me to watch 2012?"

"Of course, do you think I'll watch those romance movies?"

"What's wrong with your tone, what's wrong with watching a romance movie?"

Xiao Yifei hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just didn't think that kind of movie was for me."

"Hmph, you can be careful, in case I accidentally teach you something wrong......"

"Students don't dare, students know it's wrong."

"Okay, seeing that you admit your mistakes so well, I'll accompany you."

I guess you want to watch it too, after all, the publicity some time ago is about to become a household name, and it is known as a spectacular special effect, which is a big-scene movie.

The movie is really a big scene, not long after it began, Xiao Yifei was excited to watch the destruction of Los Angeles, and the theater was screaming when the protagonist drove across the viaduct that was about to collapse and a building that was about to collapse. Jesse next to him nervously grabbed Xiao Yifei's hand, and Xiao Yifei felt that her palms were sweaty.

When this period of Xiao* passed, she found that her hand was actually holding Xiao Yifei's hand, she smiled at Xiao Yifei embarrassedly and withdrew her hand. After a while, the plot developed to the volcanic eruption in Yellowstone Park, and when the protagonist's family was nervous to flee for their lives, she involuntarily held Xiao Yifei's hand. When the plot eased, she was embarrassed to withdraw her hand this time, and still put her hand in Xiao Yifei's hand.

In the last self-sacrifice, Xiao Yifei saw her wipe her eyes with her hands, so he handed her a tissue, and she was a little embarrassed to take it.

finally arrived in the play, and the happy ending made the theater burst into applause, it seems that Americans are very fond of this. Xiao Yifei, a visual animal, also thinks that this film is still very good, if there is a 3D or IMAX version, then it is estimated to be better.

After watching the movie for more than 2 hours, it was dinner time, and after dinner, nothing good happened, Xiao Yifei sent Jesse back to Danville directly.

In the evening, Xiao Yifei entered the Osiris space, and the vegetables in the space finally produced seeds after several months of growth, flowering, and finally bearing seeds. He carefully collected the seeds, and he planned to dry them and plant some of them in Isis Space for a second reinforcement.

Back at the winery, just when he thought he would be able to relax for a while, another trivial and long task was placed in front of him, and that was to add barrels.

Because oak barrels have a certain degree of air permeability, when the wine is aged in oak barrels, there is a certain amount of evaporation. And during the aging phase, every once in a while, the winemaker has to suck a little bit of wine from the barrel and taste whether the aging is in place, which can also cause wine loss.

These lost areas will be occupied by air, and as we all know, wine will inevitably oxidize and deteriorate if it comes into contact with air for a long time. So every once in a while, the "cellar rats" have to refill the barrels with wine to drive the air out and prevent the wine from oxidizing. The job is to add buckets.

It's easy to say, just take a barrel of wine, stuff the pump inlet into the barrel, start the motor, and then take the injector on the other end and fill it up one by one. The whole process is like filling up a car, but if you multiply the number of cars by 1,000, you're going to feel miserable. And when filling, it is also important to turn off the injector, otherwise, the wine will overflow the keg. No, the curious Xiao Yifei made a mistake in the first raise.

Martin unceremoniously pointed it out:

"Boss, you're not up to the mark."

Xiao Yifei looked at it, and there was not much wine that spilled. He comforted himself:

"It's the first time, mistakes are inevitable, and it doesn't seem like there's much."

"It's not much, it's just half a bottle."

When I went, this half bottle of wine was worth 25 US dollars, which means that he wasted 200 yuan at once.

The next day, Xiao Yifei was still half a beat slower, and although the wine did not flow to the ground, a large piece of the barrel was wet.

"It's another couple of dollars wasted."

Martin's words made Xiao Yifei's teeth itch. He was especially careful with the third barrel, and after opening and closing it a few times, finally no wine spilled.

"Well, I'm a quick learner."

Who knew that Martin continued to hit him:

"Although you have kept the wine, can you fill 100 barrels a day at your rate?"

Martin, it seems that you think that the salary is too much.

After a few more buckets, he wisely handed the injector back to Martin, which seemed simple, but it still required experience, so he would better go and work as an overseer.

On this day, Xiao Yifei found a letter in the mailbox, the payment was actually in Chinese, which said the Anhui Hui Association of Northern California, the content of the letter was probably happy to hear that Xiao Yifei, a person from Anhui Hui, had come to settle in the United States, and they welcomed and congratulated them as fellow Anhui Hui villagers in Northern California, and invited Xiao Yifei to join them and become one of them.

When Xiao Yifei bought the Monterena winery, he invited not only wine magazines, but also local media in Napa and San Francisco, especially Chinese media, to hold the signing ceremony. Therefore, the news that he bought a winery also showed a small face in the local newspapers, which attracted some Chinese tourists to the winery, and also brought Xiao Yifei, a new face, into the eyes of local Chinese. As a result, he received many invitations from Chinese associations and chambers of commerce in the United States, including the invitation letter from the Chinese Association in the United States.
