Chapter 609: A Good Year
After squatting in the villa for five or six days, before it rained, Ju An's heart became more and more unsettled, not for anything else, mainly because this year's space water has not been put into the well in the garden, plus the weather is so hot and dry, the thing has made a big loss this year, so how to get it, although I don't drink much red wine, the bottle is red dollars. Early this morning, I took Wang Fan to drive to the vineyard to have a look.
The car drove out of the villa area, Wang Fan sat in the co-pilot's seat, called the winemaker of the winery, Bernst, put down the phone after a few words, turned his head to Ju An and said: "Bernster is already waiting for us, you said that the emperor is not in a hurry this time, the eunuch is in a hurry, and suddenly he has become a good boss, and he knows that he cares about his own industry."
"I just look at this strange weather, it's nearby, let's go see the vineyards," Ju An said to Wang Fan while driving and looking at the road.
Directly from the starting point to the end point, follow the navigation and are not afraid of getting lost at all, when passing through the city of Los Angeles, Ju An saw the guy opposite the gate of the city hall, and he has not left yet, and the small tent is still illegally set up at the door of the government.
Pointing to the white buddy sitting on the recliner and saying to Wang Fan: "This petitioner is still here this year."
Wang Fan stretched out his head and looked at the white man on the side of the road, it could not be said to be an open top, it could only be said to be a big white parasol, surrounded by white cloth, forming a simple tent, and there were two paper signs next to it, which said against what taxes the California government would collect or reduce expenses, Ju An saw this guy squatting here two years ago, and he hasn't walked away yet. In the past few years, I don't know what to survive by not working.
There are a lot of cars on the road now. A little bit of a block from time to time. At this stall, a person who looked like a tourist walked up to this buddy and asked to take a photo with this white buddy. A few meters away from the illegal construction, two policemen stood on the side of the road with police dogs talking, as if they were waiting to cross the road, and did not look at the illegal buildings that were close at hand. It is very irresponsible, there is no special urban management profession here in the United States, and these patrol officers generally have to do this work by themselves. The U.S. government is a little poorer and can't afford to hire these part-time workers, and the U.S. labor is also expensive, so it has to let the police play the job of the domestic urban management when they are idle.
"On such a hot day, squatting here, there is no air conditioner or anything to do at night" Wang Fan is concerned about people's heatstroke prevention and cooling situation.
Ju An smiled and said: "You don't care about this, maybe the protest is still in three shifts, and several people take turns to come to the government gate on duty." Don't think that this situation can't happen, the strange protests here in the United States have been rotten over the years, and there are no tricks. To paraphrase, you can't do it. Only you can't think of it.
The two of them began to talk about this nail household who had been in front of the government for several years, and after a while, the traffic began to move.
Ju An drove the car and joked to Wang Fan: "Lao Mei is busy enough in this country, these netizens also directly regard the White House as a petition office, and also ask Xiao Aohei to stipulate that tofu brain can only be salty, not sugar, and I don't know how troublesome Aohei is." Remembering that he saw this message on the White House website at that time, Juan wanted to laugh.
Poof! Wang Fan laughed when he heard this: "That's a group of people who are idle and hurt."
The two of them drove the car, some people talked and joked, but they felt that the time had passed a lot faster, and soon drove out of the city, walked up the hillside, and entered the mountain forest, and suddenly felt that the temperature dropped a lot, and when they reached the entrance of the vineyard valley, it was hot again, and the tall trees were basically gone, and only patches of vineyards could be seen everywhere.
Ju An drove the car and followed Wang Fan to talk nonsense, and then looked at the grapes on both sides of the road from time to time, it was obvious that this hot day still had an impact on the grapes, and many leaves were slumped listlessly in the sun. However, these vineyards belong to other people, and they have little to do with Ju'an, although they are not their own, but their own wineries still have to select some of the wines from nearby vineyards.
The car drove through a gate, on the square gate, there were a few flowers written on the golden eagle feather feather, this is to their own vineyard, and immediately felt another scene, although the leaves are not too energetic, but much better than what they just saw, at least they did not see a few drooping down, as if they were dehydrated. At least for now, the aura of space water has not completely disappeared. The grapes are still on the rise, with bunches of green grapes hanging on the trellises like small agate.
Heard the car at the door of the winery, and as soon as he got out of the car, Ernst stood at the door and waved at the two, and Ju An and Wang Fan walked over with a smile.
"Old Byrne! This complexion looks getting better and better," Wang Fan said to Burnster.
Burnst laughed loudly and said, "The winery is so famous now, of course I'm in a good mood." After speaking, he took Ju An and Wang Fan to the office.
Juan asked Burnst, "We're on vacation nearby, and it hasn't rained for many days, so it doesn't affect our grapes much."
"The impact will definitely have an impact, but not as much as in other vineyards, and if it goes on like this, this year's grapes will be much more early and the yields will be much lower, and now some of the nearby vineyards are already spending money to remove some of the grapes from the vines," Burnst asked.
"Are we going to reduce our grapes a little bit as well?" Knowing that others are reducing the fruit, the most important thing is to see if there is less fruit in your garden.
"I haven't thought of that yet, I'm going to observe and see, and if the weather continues like this, we may also have to think about reducing the number of grapes and making the rest of the grapes better developed," Burnster said.
Juan nodded, and then said to Burnst, "Find me and Van a hat, and I'm going to take a look at the vineyard."
Hearing this, Burnst turned and walked to his office, and then came out with two large, wide-brimmed hats, not cowboy hats, but like miniature Mexican hats, the whole brim almost covered his shoulders.
Ju An and Wang Fan took the hat and stuck it directly on their heads, and followed Bernst towards the vineyard.
When I got to the ground, Ju'an squatted next to a long grape net, looked at the grapes on the net, and then walked in to take a look, only to find that a lot of grapes have been flushed with red silk, indeed, this year's grapes are ripe earlier than when I came to see them, and it is estimated that the grapes are still small at this time.
"Now the grapes in our garden are the best" Bernd himself shrugged his shoulders first: "In fact, every year our vineyard grapes are the best, this year there is less rain, and it is hotter, the sunshine is more abundant, it is a better year, but it is a bit too early to say this, if it goes on like this, it will be more perfect with a little light rain." Bernst crouched next to Juan and said with a smile.
Looking at the grapes, they were all about the same, Ju An took Wang Fan and Burnster to the edge of the big well, still with steel mesh on it, and stretched his head to look in for a while.
Bernst said: "We have good water here, it is estimated that there is some underground water vein, and there is no water level falling at this time, and now we have to rely on it for watering twice a day, morning and evening."
Ju An turned around with a smile and sat down at the edge of the well, which was already hot from the sun, Ju An sat for a while, then moved his buttocks, and took advantage of Wang Fan and Burnster chatting about grapes, so he put the space water prepared yesterday into the well with his hands behind his back.
That's it for the grapes, after reading this, Ju An and Wang Fan followed Burnst to see the workshop of the vineyard, and followed some workers to say hello or something, as for the first hoop barrel master, of course Ju An had to go to nag, the old man now commanded seven or eight people, obviously different from when he squatted and looked at the oak barrel erected next to the broken workshop, and he spoke much louder.
When the three of them entered the wine cellar, they suddenly felt that the heat outside was swept away, and the entire wine cellar was filled with barrels of red wine. The entire cellar is filled with oak barrels mixed with aromas.
Wang Fan looked at the oak barrels around him, and said to Ju An with a smile: "Think about it, when we first took over, the entire wine cellar was sold out, and now it looks like a winery, and the whole big wine cellar is full of fine wines." Then I suddenly thought that the old winemaker I met for the first time didn't know what was going on, so I asked Burnster: "How is the old winery, the old winemaker's lawsuit?" ”。
Burnst shook his head and said: "Since losing the lawsuit, I have a lot of debts, and I heard that I have gone to a small red wine company that has just opened, and it seems to be in Chile or where in South America, the specific situation is not very clear." Wine gathering in California who cares about a loser.
"What a pity old man" Wang Fan stretched out his hand and patted the oak barrel and said: "If you sell the grapes to us, maybe you can make a profit, but fortunately you didn't buy it at that time, or it would have been smashed in our hands." Now Wang Fan and Miles all thought that the grapes were ripe due to the unique climate of the year, and who would have thought that Ju An would have a big killer weapon in his hands.
I don't know, the reason why Ju An didn't want to buy it was not because he couldn't raise it well, but because he disliked the old man's offer was too expensive, thinking that the things he cultivated in space water were expensive and sold to his buddies. There is no forward-looking Mao relationship with Ju'an. (To be continued.) )
