As soon as the rice planting came to an end, Yunyi began to prepare for the digging of a cave in the cliff wall in the river valley; Quietly taking out a geological detector and several sets of rock excavation equipment from the agricultural and animal husbandry auxiliaries, Yunyi handed over the matter of digging the cave to Chen Ming to deal with.

The things in the village soon spread to the mid-level platform, everyone was discussing, the honest Zhao Baogen has always had a good temper, and it was the famous man in the village who was afraid of his wife (rake ears) why he suddenly exploded and beat his daughter-in-law, and the matter went to the branch secretary.

After Li Dazhuan understood what was going on, he couldn't help but sigh, he had no heirs, Zhao Baogen's heart was hard enough, and after marrying such a superb aunt, it was only a matter of time before he was beaten.

Later, Li Dazhuan criticized and educated both of them, and each of them hit fifty boards, and the matter was mediated, but everyone in the village knew about Zhao Baogen's daughter-in-law's defeat; Inadvertently, Yunyi also received strong support from the villagers in many things after that.

Hegu Village is located in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, and the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is a typical limestone formation, known as karst landform (karst landform).

Karst (kaRsT) is karst, which is a general term for the geological action of water on soluble rocks (carbonate rock, gypsum, rock salt, etc.) mainly by chemical dissolution, supplemented by mechanical actions such as erosion, latent erosion and collapse of flowing water, as well as the phenomena caused by these actions.

It was recorded as early as the Jin Dynasty, especially in the "Xu Xiake Travels" written by Xu Hongzu (1586~1641) in the Ming Dynasty. According to the characteristics of the rock, it is divided into: limestone karst, dolomite karst, gypsum karst, salt karst.

The surface water of the dissolution ditch and the stone bud flows along the rock surface, and the many grooves formed by dissolution and erosion are called the solution ditch. The protrusion between the dissolution grooves is called the stone bud; The tall stone buds that are 2o-3o meters tall and densely packed like a forest are called stone forests.

A cave, also known as a cave, is an underground tunnel formed by the dissolution and erosion of groundwater along the layers, joints, or faults of soluble rocks. The karst forms in the cave mainly include stone stalactites, stone pillars, stone mantles, etc.

Chen Ming took the machine and geological exploration instruments to explore the inside of the river valley in five days. In the cliffs around the river valley, the places where there are caves have been simply marked by Chen Ming and recorded, which is the instruction given by Yunyi to Chen Ming before.

After Yunyi finished reading Chen Ming's records, he also had a general understanding of the size and distribution of the karst caves in the cliff wall; There is a dry and large cave in the cliff, Yunyi is ready to dig out and store the liquor brewed by the winery, anyway, the cave wine still has to be fermented more fragrant and richer, compared to storing the wine in the warehouse outside, the storage time can be shortened a lot, and the "cave" is also a highlight of the "wine culture" commercial hype, the same wine, more "cave" gimmick will improve the overall grade.

In the next level of karst caves, Yunyi prepares fruit wine and wine for later brewing, as well as medicinal wine and health wine for different purposes; Although the market for this kind of wine is small, Yunyi believes that with the bioactive liquid, the quality and quantity of medicinal materials planted in the future will be guaranteed, and the medicinal function of medicinal wine made from such medicinal materials will not be weakened in the slightest; The number of people who want to accept this type of sake will continue to increase.

There are caves with water and undercurrents inside, and Yunyi is also ready to dig a few out, which can be used to breed some aquatic products that grow in the dark river, second, it can also increase the gimmick of Wine Valley Manor, and third, it can also provide some places to play and explore.

Got Yunyi's instructions, Chen Ming took the machine qì people to start work, I have to say that the technology of time and space is Niu 13, the machine of digging holes and drilling rocks, cutting stones is as clean as cutting tofu with a knife, a piece of one-meter square stones, the thickness is 3ocm, and the cutting surface is smooth and flat, these stone slabs are just used to pave the road pavement in the manor, which looks not only simple and generous, but also simple and resolute.

In addition to paving roads, it can also be used to build some stone houses, dotted among the green mountains and green waters, which will make people linger and revel in the meantime.

Yunyi asked Chen Ming to assign a few people, and asked the auxiliary program control system to burn some poems, articles and pictures related to wine culture; After importing these contents into the smart chip of the machine, the machine is carved out on the cut stone slabs, and the stone slabs finally form a stone mural like a puzzle, or inlaid on the wall, or tiled on the ground, or standing on the bank of the Qingshui River.

Chen Ming is digging this place, extending more than 30 meters into the rock is the largest karst cave, and the space inside is huge, which is also the karst cave suitable for storing liquor detected this time; After a few hours, more than ten rows of ten-meter-long, smooth and flat stone slabs were neatly stacked on the ground outside, and the excavation progress on the cliff wall was also very fast.

Yunyi is ready to dig the entrance of the cave into a width of 4.5 meters and a height of 6.5 meters, so that it is convenient for the car to drive directly into the cave in the future to load or unload the goods, especially the wine jar container for storing liquor in the future.

The grinding sound of machinery and rock, echoing in the excavated tunnel, is deafening, like thunder rolling above your head. Yun Yi, who couldn't stand it, came out of the tunnel, squatted on a stone slab, and thought about the opening of the second phase of "Wine Valley Manor", and the current first phase of the opening has extended to "Pine Valley".

It is a primeval forest full of red pine trees, and the red pine trees that grow in it are towering and leafy, and a large number of pine cones provide abundant food for the small animals; The pine needles on the ground are more than a foot thick, and under the pine needles there are many kinds of medicinal herbs, as well as delicious truffles and matsutake mushrooms.

Truffle is an annual natural fungal plant that grows mostly under pine, oak and oak trees; Its pine wind, morning dew and long.

In China, the truffle is arched out of the ground by wild boars, and the Chinese people call it "pig arch fungus", "arch fungus", also known as "rootless vine fruit".

There are more than 30 types of truffles, among which white truffles and black truffles are the most delicious. Because truffles are very picky about the environment in which they grow, they cannot grow as long as there is a slight change in sunlight, water or the pH of the soil, which is why truffles are so rare.

How expensive are truffles, the best quality truffles in the world are white truffles from Alba, Italy, which once cost $35,000 a kilogram, and black truffles from Pelligo, France, which cost at least $5oo.

White truffles are rarer and therefore more expensive than French black truffles and Périgord truffles, and are only grown in northern Italy and Croatia. This white truffle is known as the Grand Duke of Truffles. The best of the white truffles can only be found in the Piedmont region of Italy, especially near the town of Elma.

White truffles only grow from mid-January to the end of December each year. It is very difficult to find them because they grow in the soil near the roots of trees. Truffle hunters usually use trained hunting dogs to sniff them out. Truffles cannot be cultivated in captivity, which is one of the reasons why they are so expensive. The price of white truffles fluctuates from year to year, but is usually between $8oo and $15oo per pound (453 grams).
