After the little turtle swelled in a circle, it seemed to grow a lot, and became docile and obedient. After Wang Hao thought about it to no avail, he picked up the little turtle and put it in his pocket. After enjoying so many ripening techniques, the little turtle naturally couldn't be let go by Wang Hao, it obediently shrank in the turtle shell and didn't make trouble.

When passing by a small lake, Wang Hao was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot of wild geese on the lake, dozens of wild geese were wandering on the lake, and from time to time they lowered their heads to bite a small fish, and swallowed it with their necks tilted.

He didn't come forward to disturb, but stood aside and watched quietly for a while, there are very few places in China where wild geese can be seen, except for large lakes like Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. Along the way, feeling the different scenery from riding a horse and driving, Wang Hao felt that his trip was worth it.

In the distance, I could see the small hill where the vineyard was located, different from the green of the pastures, and it was a little dazzling and pleasing to the eye. After climbing the stairs and opening the latch of the iron door, Wang Hao found the footprints next to him, and he didn't know whether the footprints of a rabbit or a fox were left on the dirt next to him.

"These little things aren't going to bite off the vines, are they?" Wang Hao frowned and explored along these footprints, but after looking around, he found that the footprints were broken, and he didn't know where he had gone.

He exhaled, a small ripple in his heart, as a druid who should love nature and live in harmony with animals, what he wanted at this time was to hunt a hare to barbecue, which was definitely influenced by watching martial arts movies when he was a child, and the sign of a hero is to kill chickens and rabbits in the wild, and then what seasonings are still fragrant.

Shifting his gaze to the grapevines here, Wang Hao shook his head helplessly, these vines are really like some naughty children, restlessly growing their own branches. I haven't come here for a few days, and the branches have grown like hedgehogs.

Wine growers need to cut off the branches, leaving only the old wood, let the vines pass the winter, the cut branches can be used to grill steak, in Sydney or Melbourne and other cities there are special restaurants to keep the old vines to grill steak, the meat is naturally soaked in the flavor of the old vine smoke, delicious tight, can be regarded as a famous dish. After pruning one by one, the pruning process for the whole winter is completed, and then spring comes, and everything recovers, and the new branches that are used as the ingredients for grilling steak in the new year will grow from the old trees again, and they will grow like crazy. Joseph directly crushed those branches and used them as fertilizer for the land at that time, and did not get barbecue, but Wang Hao was different, he

If left unchecked, each grape will probably grow into a hedgehog, and then people will grope between the branches to pull out the underdeveloped bunches of grapes when picking them. In the days when Wang Hao was lazy and didn't come, these vines developed very quickly, and now they are all climbing with branches, looking disorganized.

Some of the branches he had fixed last time he came over continued to climb and split at a higher level, so he had a difficult battle to complete today. Such a large piece of grapevine is estimated to take two or three days to complete, he couldn't help but sigh, and then took out the sharp scissors that had been stored in the space ring and prepared to start working.

The standard for pruning is six new shoots per plant, and these branches will be retained, and the rest will be ruthlessly pruned, which is similar to the previous bud. These six new shoots will also be cut down after the grape harvest and used for other purposes, and Wang Hao plans to use them to roast his own meat, and the beef roasted from the vines will definitely taste good.

Wearing headphones, the music flowing out of the mp3 accompanies him to work continuously, pruning is regardless of the season, sometimes bending over, sometimes standing on tiptoe, Wang Hao enjoys it. The indiscriminate growth of the branches was in a difficult time, and one by one they were cut and laid on the ground, and each vine became clean and neat, except for the main vine and a few thick branches, the rest were not retained.

At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and after pressing it directly on the headphone cable, he heard his cousin's voice: "Mouse, didn't you say that you would teach us to ride a horse today?" Why can't I see you people early in the morning? ”

Wang Meng was standing in the room at this time taking care of her three children, they were reluctantly trying to go out for horseback riding, but the cowboys in the ranch were not there, so she could only call Wang Hao for help.

"Sister, I'm pruning in the vineyard right now, and I really don't have time to leave. If we don't deal with it now, the vineyard will be ruined in the summer. Otherwise, bring some of the little imps and let them play in the vineyard. Wang Hao looked at the results of his work, because the craftsmanship is not skilled, it took more than an hour to cut less than 50 grapes, but there are more than 1,000 vines in this vineyard, and he is still far behind!

"Mom, I want to ride a horse!"

"I want it too!"

"I said yesterday that I could ride a horse when I got up today, you lied."

The three little guys began to make trouble, Wang Meng couldn't resist it at all, in order to give birth to these three children, she not only quit her job, but also paid a fine of two or three hundred thousand, which is not a small amount.

She didn't hear what Wang Hao said on the phone, so she hung up the phone. Gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the third child's eyes with his hand, and said softly: "Yes, we said that we would ride a horse." But let's go to my uncle now, the horses are his, don't cry." ”

The three little guys held hands and walked outside with Wang Meng expectantly, ready to find Wang Hao. It's so big outside, Wang Meng doesn't know where the vineyard is, and there is no one to ask here. She gritted her teeth, looked at the rut marks and followed.

Wang Hao, who hung up the phone, continued to work, his job was not easy, even if it was an old wine farmer, it would be hard to do it. Fortunately, the newly cut vines do not have to be pruned, and only the remaining hundreds of old vines need to be cut off.

Gently beating his waist, Wang Hao felt that his back was starting to ache. The grape field is densely spread with scattered grape branches, and there are palm-sized leaves attached to them.

Looking back at the fruits of his labor, Wang Hao was really a little proud. More than 200 vines seem to have changed their hairstyles, refreshing and neat. He looked at his watch and whispered, "Why haven't you come here for so long, where have you gone?" ”

It's been two hours since Wang Meng's call, but standing in the vineyard and looking into the distance, I still haven't found Wang Meng and the others, and I don't know what's going on.

Anyway, it's all in the ranch, there shouldn't be anything wrong, he started to gather branches with confidence. As the name suggests, pruning is to close the branches together, hold them in place with wire, and let them grow upward. Don't let the branches slope into the aisle between the rows of grapes, in order to give way to the leaves and fruits, when picking grapes, and also to give way to all kinds of agricultural machinery, so as not to let these machines accidentally hurt the grapes used to make wine and the branches of grilled steaks; The vines are sandwiched in wire to allow the vines to grow upwards so that a machine can cut off the branches that are too tall and not to waste energy.

How to grow grapes is already a science abroad, and the few books on grape planting that Wang Hao bought were published locally. Australia's grape history is not new, but its reputation is not small. As an emerging country of immigrants, Australian wine is made in a way that is unique compared to the wine-producing countries of the Old World, using advanced winemaking technology and modern winemaking equipment in addition to strictly following traditional winemaking methods. In fact, the life of Australian wine comes not only from the sun, the soil and the essence of the grapes, but also from the long history of wine tasting and exquisite winemaking techniques, the experience of winemaking from a multicultural background, and the winemaking techniques that advocate the preservation of the highest original flavor and fruitiness of grape varieties.

The sun had already risen overhead, but thankfully the vines were leafy enough to cast patches of greenery to withstand the sun's heat. After Wang Hao wiped the sweat on his body, he was about to walk back to the living area for lunch, as for Wang Meng and the others did not come, it may be that the little ones have some new discoveries or changes and are unwilling to come.
