Back in San Francisco, they drove back to Xiao Yifei's home in Danville.

Just got out of the car, Li Qinglin saw Xiao Yifei's home and praised it:

"It's a nice house."

There are no flowers this season, but the leaves of several maple trees on the lawn have turned red. The dark green lawn, with some red leaves, white walls, and gray roofs in the setting sun, is indeed good.

When I entered the room, the basic brand new furnishings in it were also good.

"The house is so big."

The whole house is 300 square meters, with 5 bedrooms, 1 study, plus living room, dining room, utility room, each room is more than 40 square meters, and the domestic house is larger, but compared with other American rooms, even compared with the neighbor's room is smaller. Xiao Yifei has seen a room type of more than 60 square meters.

Putting things away, a few people came to the backyard. Xiao Yifei has just moved in, and he hasn't touched these things at all, only the pool, lawn, big trees, and sun umbrellas.

A few people pulled over a few deck chairs, each holding a bottle of drink, chatting while basking in the sun.

"Yes, and the swimming pool, you're living a rich life now."

"Compared to other rich people's houses, that's still far behind."

This is not Xiao Yifei's modesty, but the truth. Xiao Yifei is only one person now, and he has just obtained the space and the wealth in the space for less than 1 year, and he has not yet realized the consciousness of being a rich man.

Li Qinglin asked directly: "How much money do you have now?" ”

Xu Shuyun pulled him: "Why do you ask such a question." ”

"It's okay, I'll see how thick his legs are, if they're worth hugging."

Xiao Yifei thought for a while and said:

"It's hard to say how much money I have right now. The winery was originally bought for more than $100 million. ”

"Why do you have so much money, if it's me, just buy a big house, surrounded by beautiful women all day long...... Oops, it hurts, it hurts, let go. ”

Li Qinglin said that he was smooth, and he forgot who was next to him, so he was pinched by Xu Shuyun's little black hand and immediately came to his senses.

Li Qinglin changed the topic: "It's over, how much is your house?" ”

Xu Shuyun asked vigilantly, "What's wrong, you also want to buy a set?" ”

"No, look at what U.S. housing prices are doing."

"This house was bought for $1.2 million."

"Such a large land, there are several acres, but it only costs 1.2 million US dollars, only 8 million yuan, so cheap?"

"There are nearly 0.7 acres of land, which is more than 4 acres, but the size of the land is not an important aspect when buying a house here in the United States, and the price is mainly determined by the house."

"And how many square meters is your house?"

"Not counting the 2 garages, the house is 300 square meters."

"It's not expensive, it's only more than 20,000 square meters, which is cheaper than the center of the magic city. What's the name of your place? ”

"Danville."

"It's a rich area, right?"

"Well, although it is not a top rich area, it is also a rich area in the San Francisco Bay Area."

"Then the housing prices in the United States are cheaper."

Xu Shuyun reminded him beside him: "You forgot, this house has to pay property tax every year." ”

Li Qinglin muttered: "Don't look at the current domestic non-existent, it will definitely be collected, this aspect is very positive in line with international standards." Xiao Yifei, how much tax do you pay for this house every year? ”

"Last year it was 17,000, and this year's I don't know, but it's probably a little more than 1%. This year, housing prices have fallen, and taxes should also be reduced. ”

A few people didn't bother to cook dinner, so they went out to eat something casually.

Xiao Yifei said while driving: "Li Qinglin, tell me something you are interested in." ”

"What, how do you get rich?"

"No, the road in front is called Big Pineapple Road, and the highest mountain over there is called Big Pineapple Peak."

"Big pineapple? Game that big pineapple? ”

"yes, that's it."

"Is there lava in the mountains? Is there a Death Knight? Fire or poison? These two are the most difficult to deal with. ”

"Get out."

The next day, everyone slept well and delayed until 10 o'clock before leaving for the winery.

Li Qinglin grabbed the right to drive, and Xiao Yifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had to remind him to pay attention to some details at any time.

The car drove slowly into Napa Valley, which is now a bleak place, and after the grapes were picked, the leaves slowly changed from tea-blonde to brown, dark brown and finally completely withered. When the wind blows, some of the withered old leaves fall to the ground.

Xiao Ya looked outside and muttered softly: "Napa is so famous, it looks like a rural area!" ”

Xiao Yifei said with a smile: "Napa Valley is originally rural. ”

Get off at the door of the winery. Xiao Yifei pointed to the address of his new house next to him and said:

"I'll live here in the future, and it hasn't been fixed yet. On the opposite side is the winery's castle, this is what I call Jade Lake, and the pavilion and curved bridge with Chinese characteristics are there. ”

Take them around to the winery.

"You guys go to the tasting room first, and I'll go see the winery first."

"There's no rush to taste the wine, we'll go with you to see how the wine is made."

"Alright, let's go."

First, we will go to the fermentation room on the first floor of the castle. Martin was also busy with other cellar rats, and when he saw Xiao Yifei coming in, he hurriedly took the opportunity to hide from him.

"Boss, you're back so soon?"

"yes, how's it going?"

"What else, wait until the fermentation is complete."

"How long will it take?"

"Chardonnay still has to wait, but Merlot is fermented, and it can be changed tomorrow."

"Change cans?"

"Well, change to another fermenter for malolactic fermentation."

"What about Cameron and Beau?"

Martin let out a long sigh:

"Hey, this hard work is what we low-level employees do, and they don't use it."

"No, what's the hard work?"

"You'll find out tomorrow."

He had to ask the person who came with Xiao Yifei:

"Boss, what are these?"

Xiao Yifei introduced the two sides, and after saying hello, he cared about Chelsea Barrett by the way.

Li Qinglin: They are very interested in the wine that has not yet been aged and want to try it. During this time, Martin had to taste every fermentation tank, and he was tortured by raw wine, and some people wanted to ask for their own hardship, of course he was very welcome, and one person gave a wine glass, and even Xiao Yifei was forced to stuff a wine glass.

After smelling it, the smell of raw wine is really stronger, and after shaking it a few times, the taste of raw wine is stronger, and after tasting a small amount, it can only be regarded as barely able to eat.

Li Qinglin and the others learned Xiao Yifei's steps, smelling, shaking, smelling, shaking, and continuing to smell, and finally tasted.

"The taste is so-so, it smells of wine, but it is a little bitter at the end."

Li Qinglin's evaluation is okay, basically saying that the difference between after secondary fermentation and without secondary fermentation.

Leaving the fermentation room where Martin was sitting, Xiao Yifei and they came to the tasting room. Now that Napa is gradually entering the off-season, there are very few tourists coming to the winery, and the handsome guys and beauties in the tasting room are not so busy.

Seeing the boss coming, several people hurriedly greeted him. One of the beauties shouted delicately behind the bar:

"Hi, boss, it's hard for you to be here."

Xiao Yifei sweated profusely, I want to drink and take it from the wine cellar myself, why bother to come here? Besides, as for speaking in this tone?

Li Qinglin and Xu Shuyun's eyes swirled on Xiao Yifei and the beauty, while Xiao Ya quietly hugged Xiao Yifei's arm and announced her ownership.

Xiao Yifei could only answer slowly:

"I'm going to come and see you, these three are my friends, and they've come to the winery for a few days."

Xiao Yifei hurriedly asked the handsome sommelier Kim to pour them wine to divert everyone's attention. Holding the wine glasses, Xiao Yifei took them on a tour of the tasting room and introduced them to the history of the winery in front of the photos. In particular, the bottle of the 1973 Chardonnay, which brought great honor to the winery, was kept in the wine cabinet.

After the tour of the tasting room, we took them to the hill behind the winery and showed them the scope of the winery.

"Local tyrants, such a large piece of land, just use it to grow grapes, if you grow enough food, how many people will eat."

Xiao Yifei almost fell down in anger. Is the soil used to grow crops the same as the soil used to grow wine grapes? As far as the vineyard is concerned, it is estimated that the grain planted will not be recovered.

"I'll take you to see the soil, and you can sigh again."

Too lazy to drive, a few people entered the vineyard, which was lined with rows of vines, and the empty vineyard was unusually depressed and decadent in the wind.

Li Qinglin finally knew why he didn't grow crops and grapes here, the soil in the vineyard was very poor, and there were half of the pebbles or something like that when he grabbed a handful. It's all barrenland.

If you choose fertile land, it is not impossible to grow wine grapes, but then the vines will grow wildly, and the roots will be shallow, unable to absorb deep minerals, and the wine will not have flavor. Therefore, there is a consensus in the wine industry that the more barren the land, the better the wine.

For example, the Côte de Blanc, one of the Champagne producing regions in France, is planted on chalk soil. Chalk is a thing, its main component is calcium carbonate, which is equivalent to limestone. You plant other crops on the chalk soil and try it to see how it goes.

Passing through the vineyards, David and his men were busy.

David saw Xiao Yifei standing on the road,

"Shaw, are you back?"

"yes, David, what are you doing?"

"They're sowing mustard greens, and the ones behind them are watering. As I told you, the grapes are watered once after harvest, which helps the vines to store nutrients for the winter. ”

"I remember, you said that. On drip irrigation, we won't have to be so troublesome next year, you're all connected, right? ”

"Well, it's okay, it's $3,000 per acre, because you are asking for a centralized water supply, so the storage tank and water supply pipe on the mountain pack need to be calculated separately."

A total of more than 200 acres, that would cost more than 600,000 US dollars, plus the large pool, pipelines, and labor, it is estimated that the entire project will cost millions.

"I don't know much about the market, what do you and Bo have opinions on this price?"

"We all agreed, it usually costs 3,200 yuan, we have a large project area here, and some vineyards have large plant spacing, so they give it cheaper."

"Okay, I agreed. When will the construction start? ”

"Work can begin next month when the dormant period begins."

"By the way, David, shouldn't you take a vacation?"

"I made an appointment with Jonathan to go hunting together, Jonathan won't be available until next week, and I'm waiting for him."

Jonathan is the sheriff of Callistoga, and he and David are hunting friends.

"Are you going there?"

"We're going to go to Canada and see if there's a chance to hunt black bears."

I'll go, you guys are too good at playing, not to mention going to Canada, but also to hunt bears.

"Shaw, how about it, come with us."

Xiao Yifei is not interested in hunting, plus there are a lot of things to do now, the fermentation room has to study, the stock has to wait for news, the gold has to take over, and the vineyard in the Osiris space needs to be sorted out, so he basically can't spare free time.

"Forget it, I'm not going this time, you guys have fun."

Li Qinglin saw that they had a lot of fun driving tractors and all-terrain vehicles, and he wanted to go too. Xiao Yifei grabbed him.

"Don't make a mess, if you run into the vineyard next door, you're in trouble. You have to really want to do something, and you will do it tomorrow. ”
