When he got home, Xiao Yifei sorted out the materials he took today, and Wang Nan also came over.

"Look at how beautiful other people's floats are, and then look at yours, it's too ordinary."

"Yes, yes, but I can't be blamed for that, I didn't even know there was such a thing."

"Don't quibble, facts are facts."

"No quibble, it's true, isn't it an antique tractor that won the award, I'll buy a few antique tractors next year, and just take care of it."

"Xiao Tuhao, you really deserve to be a local tyrant, and the nouveau riche is your style."

When it came to doing it, Xiao Yifei began to search for antique tractors on the Internet. After a search, I found that there are so many antique tractors in the United States, there are so many shareholder tractor enthusiasts, and antique tractor shows are held all over the United States every year, and there are 7 shows in California alone.

The next day, Xiao Yifei took Wang Nan to continue to work near the bee hill, still the same as yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yifei took the pruning shears and cut the branches, and Wang Nan pulled the cut branches down with gloves.

The branches were tied to the top wires, which were bound with staple-like tape, and with a little force they could be torn off the wires. Yesterday the two actually only cut for less than half an hour before they finished work, but today is a full day. Wang Nan has been pampered since he was a child, basically has never done any work, he is tired after a short time, he is drenched in sweat, his hairstyle is messy, his clothes are dirty, and his gloves are full of dirty things on grape branches. Wang Nan took off his gloves. wiped the sweat off his forehead, combed his hair, and expressed serious protest to Xiao Yifei:

"It's not fair, why is your job so easy, just take the pliers and cut it, and I have to pull the branches hard. You have to drag the branches and put them together. You're a man, and you should do this work. ”

Xiao Yifei raised the scissors in his hand and pointed to the spores:

"I'm doing a technical job, you know, to determine which spores to keep, it's related to next year's harvest. Do you know that those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people? ”

Wang Nan could only stare at Xiao Yifei angrily.

"Well, I won't stare at you anymore. Come. Take a break with your saliva, and then you'll continue to pull. ”

With that, he took out a bottle of water from his kit and handed it to her. Wang Nan took a sip of water, looked at the movements of those Mexican laborers, basically clicked the lower scissors at a glance at the grapevine, cut them in three or two, dragged a few branches to a pile, and then went to the next vine to repeat this action.

She felt that what Xiao Yifei said didn't seem to be right. But I didn't know how to refute it, and my eyes rolled. She began to call for foreign aid:

"David, David."

David walked over, and Wang Nan began to ask him how to prune the branches. David took out the scissors and began to explain endlessly, demonstrating in his hand. Poor Wang Nan could still understand at first, and the back two eyes were full of mosquito coils. All that remained was the mechanical nod.

David talked so much that he could talk about the shape of the vine next year with or without the spor, and then about the advantages and disadvantages of such a shape. It's too complicated to say this, and it's not something that Wang Nan can understand. Wait until David is done. When he put the scissors into her hand and motioned for her to operate, Wang Nan was completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Yifei looked at Wang Nan holding the scissors, looking at the spores at the bottom of the branches, and didn't know how to start, feeling that it was wrong to cut like this, and it was not right to cut like that. Xiao Yifeile's laughter:

"Hahaha, you learn from David, you don't want to learn for a month or two."

David also shook his head and smiled, he could only kindly call Ah Pei and let him teach Wang Nan.

Xiao Yifei was tossed like this once, and he was also honored to accept David's indoctrination, feeling that the winter cut was so profound and mysterious, and he was at a loss, not knowing which branch to leave or how many spores to keep. But in fact, if they teach this thing, you can cut it as you want, as long as there are no fewer than 10 spores left in each vine, and no more than 20. As for which branches you want to keep, it is also a sentence, you can keep whichever one you like. If you have to tell David, they can't cut many vines in a day, and the whole winter pruning period will be very long.

David asked Xiao Yifei:

"It's almost time to start composting, and this year the area has expanded so much, and we have to do more composting."

"You can just look at these things."

"It's okay to use raw materials, just order more. But the compost requires land, and the original site next to Highway 29 was good, but this year it was taken up by your resort. ”

It doesn't seem to have been composted there before, otherwise it would be strange if those two families didn't make trouble. The purpose of what he said, Xiao Yifei didn't bother to think about it, he knew that David must have taken a fancy to something:

"Tell me where you want to take it. First of all, don't hit the idea of a racecourse. ”

"How could it be, I'm sure I don't think about the horse farm, it's too far away. You see, didn't Ivey's house also be bought by you, you definitely can't look down on their simple house, and it's a waste where the house is empty, so it's better to pile up the compost there. ”

Xiao Yifei thought for a while:

"Then you can pile it up there."

The method taught by Ngapoi was very simple, Wang Nan finally learned it, and cut off a branch with a click, and stopped to admire it, as if he was very satisfied with the fact that he finally cut the first grape branch. Then, with a click, the pruning of the first vine was finally completed.

Xiao Yifei's strength was much stronger than Wang Nan, and he tore off the branches and threw them in a pile in a few clicks. Seeing that the girl was really willing to work hard, Xiao Yifei asked casually:

"David, is the sparkling wine from World Brew Borg good?"

"Well, of course, their sparkling wine is arguably the most French champagne sparkling wine in Napa and even in the United States."

David said the same thing, and it seems that their sparkling wine should be of good quality. David continued:

"Their sparkling wine often goes to White House dinners, and Nixon brought their sparkling wine to your China, and the toast to peace is their wine."

Oh, and here's the thing. Wang Nan next to him couldn't wait to ask:

"Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, they still have photos from that time and a thank you message from President Nixon."

Xiao Yifei is also interested in this winery now, and it seems that visiting them should not be boring.

"That's right. Do they need to make a reservation? ”

"No, you can go at any time, even if you need to make an appointment, it doesn't matter if you go, aren't you a director of the Wine Merchants Association, they are also a member of our Callistoga. It's normal for you to get to know their needs. ”

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"I just don't know if Hugh is free, he had a big fight with his brother last year."

"Who is Hugh? What happened to their brother? ”

Hugh that David is talking about is Hugh Davis, the owner of World Brew Borg.

The World Wine Borg was originally founded in 1862 by Jacobschram, a German immigrant, and after his death, his descendants sold the winery, just like the Tubs descendants of Château Monterena. The estate then changed owners several times until it was sold to Jack Davis in 1965. The winery was in the hands of Jack Davis, just as the Monterena winery was in the hands of Jimmy, and it was revitalized again.

Jack did not produce the still sake that was popular at the time. Instead, they chose to make sparkling wine in the same way as French champagne. Jack chose the right path, and the winery's business got better and better, and he often appeared at banquets and cocktail parties where the president entertained foreign people.

Jack died in 1998 and the winery was run by his wife, Jamie Davis. Jamie died last year, and in accordance with her will, her youngest son, Hugh Davis, became the winery's CEO.

Soon, Jack and Jamie's second son, John, took her mother and Hugh to court for kicking him out of the family trust. So that he did not get a stake in the winery. (This is explained in hindsight.) ）

Although the court ruled against John in the first half of this year, he said he would appeal to the California District Court of Appeals.

Just talk and pull the branches. Xiao Yifei pulled the branches very easily, but Wang Nan thought that the easy pruning of the branches, although it did not have much technical content, but it tested the strength of the hands. Wang Nan didn't have enough strength in her hands, and she couldn't pinch the scissors for a while, so she began to hold the scissors with both hands.

"You can talk about it for a while. If you're really tired, take a break. ”

In this way, the two took turns, and by the time the work was about to end in the afternoon, Wang Nan had no strength to pull the branches, so he simply pulled the branches and carried them on his shoulders. Turn around and pull the branch down with force. Xiao Yifei asked her to rest, but she didn't do it, and continued to pull the branches silently.

When he went home from work, he took off his gloves, and Xiao Yifei found that this girl's hands were actually foaming, it seems that this girl was tossed miserably today. When he got home and touched the blisters on his hands, Wang Nan wanted to cry a little.

Xiao Yifei naturally took her hand and looked at it:

"I'll see, it's okay, I'll be fine when I break it for you."

Wang Nan finally spoke:

"I've never done that much work."

Hearing her voice, it was a little sour, Xiao Yifei could only comfort her:

"Okay, tomorrow we'll buy champagne to compensate you, and we'll die and buy the most expensive one, okay."

"My arms are sore, and my back hurts."

The height of the vine's arms is only about 60 centimeters, and Xiao Yifei also needs to bend down to prune, and he himself has some back pain.

"Me too, then let's go to the hot springs and get a massage."

Xiao Yifei didn't bother to cook at all, so he drove her to the town and invited her to eat in Su Garden.

Uncle Tian and his wife went back to the capital today to spend Christmas with their daughter and little grandson, and only Chef Lao Mo was there, so Xiao Yifei only ate the improved Chinese food. During the meal, Xiao Yifei saw that Wang Nan's hands were a little trembling, and he saw that this girl was really tossed miserably today.

"It tastes okay, it's not as weird as you say."

Xiao Yifei thought to himself, you are tired and hungry, of course you think it's not bad.

"I guess you're from Zhijiang, get used to this taste."

Xiao Yifei ordered less today, Wang Nan didn't feel full after eating, and wanted to add vegetables but was stopped by Xiao Yifei.

"What for. I've done a day's work for you, and I'm not allowed to eat? I'll pay for it myself. ”

Xiao Yifei explained while checking out:

"No, we're going to the hot springs later, we can't eat too much, otherwise it's easy to get indigestion."

Out of Su Garden, the two chatted while walking:

"The Indian Hot Springs Resort is just around the corner, and winter is a great time to enjoy the hot springs. Don't look so tired now, waiting will ensure that your fatigue will be swept away. ”

When he came to the resort, Wang Nan changed into a bikini and came out, and Xiao Yifei found that this girl was really expected.

"What do you see, be careful that I gouge out your eyeballs?"

Xiao Yifei couldn't belittle her figure against his will, so he could only ignore it.

"Let's go. Here is the mud bath. ”

"Mud bath?"

"yes, mud bath and hot springs, full set. And mud baths are good for the skin, don't you girls like to have delicate skin? ”

came to the door of the bathroom and saw Xiao Yifei also follow her in:

"Don't you have a ladies' room?"

"No, either with me or by yourself in a single room."

Wang Nan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to go to the single room. Standing next to the bathtub, he reached out and touched the smoky volcanic mud. Wang Nan hesitated:

"It's so hot, do you really want to go in?"

Xiao Yifei also endured the heat, stepped into the cast iron bathtub, and turned back to her:

"It's okay, you see, I'm all in."

Wang Nan frowned and stepped into one foot:

"It's really hot, I've never taken a mud bath so hot before."

"What's the name, it's volcanic mud from an underground hot spring. That's the temperature. ”

Wang Nan finally stepped into the bathtub with the support of the old aunt. But she was shy after all and didn't dare to take off the bar. , with a strange scream in his mouth and sinking into the volcanic mud.

During the whole process of smearing the volcanic mud, Wang Nan was sweating wildly while drinking the cold and delicious cucumber and orange water.

"How long will it take? It's so hot. ”

"If it's hot, just drink more water, and 10 minutes will be fine."

"So long."

I finally rinsed off the volcanic mud on my body and lay down in the hot spring bathtub. The aunt next to her removed the volcanic mud between her fingers and toes. Wang Nan stretched his waist, took a sip of a cold drink, and said comfortably:

"It's so comfortable, I want to sleep like this."

Xiao Yifei said with a smile:

"This makes up for your fatigue today."

Wang Nan stretched out her red and smooth little hand and gestured in front of Xiao Yifei, blistering her hard work.

Xiao Yifei said with a smile:

"Do the math yourself. It's $20 for dinner, $80 for a hot spring, and $100 for a day of work. ”

Wang Nan shook his head:

"I don't care, I just know I'm tired enough."

Finally, the two were taken to a rest room, where they drank drinks and the two chatted. chatted and chatted about the movie again, talking about the Avatar that had just been released. Toronto is one of the IMAX headquarters, Wang Nan is of course looking at the IMAX version of Avatar, she and Xiao Yifei tout how good-looking IMAX is, and they don't even stop talking during massage. Xiao Yifei watched the ordinary 3D version at the premiere, and when he heard Wang Nan boast like this, he wanted to see if IMAX was so magical.

The next day, Xiao Yifei decided to fulfill his promise and take Wang Nan to buy wine. When she came to the garage, Wang Nan saw Xiao Yifei's Ferrari sports car, she didn't want Xiao Yifei to drive an SUV, she had to take a Ferrari.

"You're a second-generation person, you don't even have a Ferrari."

"The second generation is also divided into people, people have been good girls since childhood. Although my dad hated forcing me to get married, he didn't like money, he just liked to climb up. ”

Is there a cat in the world that doesn't steal? Looking at your boldness in swiping your card to buy wine, Xiao Yifei didn't believe what he said. But what does it have to do with him, so he wisely ended the topic.

It's okay to drive a Ferrari, but the tail box is small, so you can't buy that much wine. Xiao Yifei has seen her ferocity in buying wine with her credit card in France.

Xiao Yifei originally arranged for the black nose to watch the house, but this guy occupied the front of the car and did not move.

"Blacknose, get out of the way."

The black nose lowered his head and made a whining sound from his mouth, looking very pitiful and helpless.

Xiao Yifei could only get out of the car to appease it:

"Black nose, that's someone else's winery, I don't know if you can bring pets, you just stay and watch the house."

The black-nosed tail wagged like an electric fan, and even his tongue kept licking Xiao Yifei's hand, as if he was coquettish to Xiao Yifei: Take me, take me.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but if people don't let you bring pets, you'll have to stay in the car."

The hood opens, and the black nose naturally goes to the back seat.

Just on Tubbs Street, Xiao Yifei turned right, and before he reached the Old Faithful Fountain, the black nose sat in the back seat, with two front paws on the back of the chair in front of him, and screamed at Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei hurriedly pulled over.

"Blacknose, what are you doing?"

Blacknose turned and yelled at the back of the car.

Xiao Yifei looked at the rearview mirror suspiciously, there was nothing, but the black nose still kept yelling at the back of the car. Xiao Yifei could only get out of the car, and walked around the car without finding anything abnormal.

"Blacknose, what's wrong?"

Wang Nan looked in the direction of the black nose.

"Oh, I see."

"What do you know?"

"I know why Blacknose is called."

"Then you can tell me quickly?"

"What's in it for you?"

Xiao Yifei looked up to the sky and sighed, gritted his teeth and said:

"Buying wine is mine, okay?"

"Oh yes, that's great. I guess Blacknose must be going to the horse farm to play with the foals. ”

The black nose seemed to understand her words, and immediately wagged his tail at her and stuck out his tongue. Poor Wang Nan originally turned around and knelt in the co-pilot's seat, licked her black nose, and directly washed her face with saliva.

"Nasty, Blacknose, you're going too far."

Xiao Yifei watched hahaha, and now he can't think of going to the racecourse.

When he arrived at the horse farm, the black nose pulled the rope and ran to the stocking farm.

"Lawrence, I'm sorry, Blacknose wants to play with the foal."

"It's okay, anyway, Chardonnay III by the river is not yet 1 year old and can't train."

Chardonnay III by the river is the name of the foal, because he is white, and the horse farm is located on the banks of the Napa River, so it is called Chardonnay by the river, and as for the third, it means that there are two horses with this name in front of him. When Xiao Yifei first heard that the Arabian horses in the racecourse were called "Merlot" and "Syrah" according to their color, he finally realized what it meant to be thundered.

After finishing business, Xiao Yifei said with a smile:

"Okay, besides, where is the bathroom, Alice needs to wash her face."

Wang Nan was told about the trouble, and directly flew over with a "amorous" white eye.

When passing by the rehabilitation center that scared Wang Nan yesterday, Xiao Yifei specially pointed it out to her, saying that he did not lie to her. (To be continued......)
