***********************************************

Perhaps many people think of France when they think of wine. In fact, Australia has become another important producer of wine in the world. The right climate, the loose soil and the pure air all make Australia capable of producing the most delicious wines.

South Australia is Australia's largest wine producer, producing more than half of Australia's wines. The climate is warm, and the wines are rich and full-bodied, dark in colour and fruity, often with hints of chocolate and coffee.

Originally, it was a high-quality grape variety, but now with the embellishment of Wang Hao's magic power, the grapes produced by Golden Ranch are naturally more delicious and delicious, making people want to eat one bunch after another.

Wang Hao stuffed his space ring with grapes before returning to the pickup truck and carefully placing the grapes in the ring in the cargo box. Now I am afraid that it will be too shocking when the time comes, and Wang Hao is not easy to explain.

After the boxes of grapes were loaded, Wang Hao put on his sunglasses, and then carefully drove the pickup truck, taking some good roads, so as not to damage the grapes because of the bumps.

It was morning when I went out, and it was evening when I returned, and most of the cowboys on the ranch were busy driving their livestock back, except for Luna and Katie, two cowgirls, who were busy in the kitchen, and little Susan was in the middle of the day.

The smaller turtles that grow larger and larger have already grown beyond their faces, and they have to eat a lot of meat every day to sustain themselves. It wandered aimlessly around the room. After seeing Wang Hao come back, he couldn't help but stretch his neck. But it still climbs very slowly.

"Little one, you can still put it in the pocket of my shirt when you just pick it up. Are you now evolving in the direction of a tortoise? In the future, I will have to find a truck to load you. Wang Hao touched its towering tortoise shell, and even stretched out his finger and flicked it gently.

At this time, the little milk cat soup dumpling that was curled up on top of the refrigerator was also interested, and it jumped down agilely, rubbed its head on Wang Hao's leg, and then naughtily ran to the back of the little turtle! At this time, the size of the baby turtle has become extraordinarily large, so the soup bag is still a little loose when sitting on top of its shell.

The cowboys at the ranch are curious about this growing little turtle, and when they first picked it up on the side of the ranch on a rainy day, it is definitely a different breed than it is now, for example, Neil strongly suspects that Wang Hao has bought a tortoise breed again.

But at that time, Wang Hao was examined at Katie's pet hospital. This is the usual Australian tortoise, but now that it is a tortoise cub, no one will question it.

"Susan, Katie, Luna, the grapes have been brought back, they can be eaten after washing them with water, they are very sweet!" Wang Hao shouted loudly, it is impossible to use all of these grapes to make wine, which is too wasteful. Anyway, the vineyard is still a little unripe. Fresh grapes can be eaten every day.

Susan, who was drawing, threw the crayon directly on the table, and ran over with a brisk pace like a little butterfly, she didn't care whether the grapes were washed or not, she picked one casually and threw it in her mouth. Then he narrowed his eyes happily, and it was very sweet.

"Have you gotten all the grapes back? I'll go and see if the oak barrels outside are dry. Luna walked out resolutely, and she didn't forget to take a string with her. This made Wang Hao cry and laugh.

As early as today, when he went out, Wang Hao told them to get the containers and equipment for making wine. Wang Hao, who didn't know anything, didn't expect to make a Grand Cru wine this year, he just wanted to try it. Since there is this condition. So why not try to do it yourself, maybe it's more real than buying it outside.

Huge oak barrels sit side by side on the balcony, and the juicer has been cleaned, just waiting to put the grapes on it. The wine is not made here with primitive technology like the wineries in France and Spain, but bravely introduces technology, no longer crushing the grapes with their feet, but crushing them with machines.

Boxes of grapes were poured on the conveyor belt of the press, and after Wang Hao turned on the power, the grapes were sent to the press with a steady shake. The grapes are full of luster and turn into crumbled residues after passing through the press, and a rich grape aroma is released, which makes people can't help but taste buds.

The juice of the grapes pressed from the machine is slowly transported from the red pipe into several large oak tanks next to the machine for further processing. The mythical grape elixir is born in these large oak barrels. This ancient wine cellar is still in use today and makes wine in the traditional way. The wine settles quietly in oak barrels, ferments slightly, and waits for ripening and filling.

In the cellar left behind by Joseph, the previous rancher, barrels of bulky puree were brought in and fermented in a dark, dry place. These weather-beaten historical objects seem to have frozen in time.

The wine that Joseph Sr. didn't take with him had been largely drunk by the cowboys on the ranch, and the shelves that had been holding wine bottles were already empty, as if waiting for another boom this year.

Almost two tons of grapes were crushed and fermented like this, Wang Hao was so hungry that his chest was close to his back at this time, he was busy all day, and there was nothing else in his stomach except grapes. So I'm looking forward to dinner.

The growing emus were driven back to the hut by Leonard, and it was likely to rain heavily tonight, so I didn't worry about these animals running around outside. Even the haughty alpacas were locked in their rooms, not to mention the merino sheep and the beef cattle, which was not a good day.

"Boss, the policewoman called you today and asked why you didn't go to the police station to make a record." Katie said to Wang Hao while serving the dishes in the kitchen. "In addition, your girlfriend Su Jing also called and said that you should pick her up when you have time, and if you don't have time, she will take the train to Swanseal by herself."

Wang Hao wiped his hands with a towel and sat down at the long table, he patted his forehead in annoyance and said, "Shit, I forgot about the police." After eating, I called the detective again to explain the situation. I'd better pick up Su Jing myself and let her deal with the police tomorrow. ”

"Great, my aunt is finally coming." Susan clapped her hands excitedly, looking forward to tomorrow.

Before the meal, Wang Hao opened the last two bottles of wine from the ranch and poured the tall glass in front of each cowboy, which has the characteristics of South Australia's high-quality vineyard fruit. Aged in old oak barrels, Penfolds is smooth and fruity, with a rich depth and a long flavour, and with seven ripe Grand Cru beef, it's not too good. (To be continued......)
