In early winter, the Hunter Valley is quieter than in summer, and the red wine is especially delicious against the blazing flames of the furnace rising indoors.

Outside, the mountain fog is still thick, locking the winery in the valley, in this hilly area of Brokeback Mountain, like a plain and quite undulating, like a mountain with no peaks, there are no grapes on the branches, only bare vines swaying in the wind.

"Have all the vines at our winery been pruned?" Seeing this scene, Wang Hao couldn't help but ask, these dry vines in front of him looked like old trees with roots, like dragons.

John Cliff explained: "Yes, the vines have been pruned, they are hired masters, they are very experienced, they don't prune indiscriminately. ”

Pruning the branches in autumn and winter is an important part of vine management, cutting off those branches so that they can re-sprout and grow in the next spring, providing more nutrients for the good shoots.

At this time, the inside of the vineyard looks very clean, and the pruned branches, dead leaves, diseased branches and leaves, fruits, tendrils and even weeds are cleaned of the vineyard.

Rows of neat vines grew lonely in the cold wind, Wang Hao stroked them one by one with his hands, John and Andrew thought he was remembering or sighing, but in fact, they couldn't guess that he was using magic to fertilize these vines that were silently accumulating strength.

"Alright, don't follow me, I want to walk around here alone. Arrange some games, otherwise it won't be fun here. ”

There are still acres of vines that have not been moistened by magic. Wang Hao didn't want these two people to follow him all the time, so he found a reason for them to do something else.

John only thought that Wang Hao wanted to inspect these vineyards casually, and he didn't think much about it. He said: "Actually, we have a few small games here, because life is too boring to develop, let's play after lunch, what do you think?" ”

Wang Hao turned his head to look at him, nodded and agreed, "It sounds good, you can arrange it." ”

John Cliff was not pretentious, he said to Wang Hao: "Then boss, take a walk slowly." I'll call you when it's time to eat. ”

Andrew scratched the back of his head: "I'm going to go back and play the game for a while, and the boss will come and play Dota 2 together in the afternoon!" ”

"You should play by yourself, but you should go to our ranch and guide the winemaking and management of the wine." Wang Hao has not forgotten that there is also a small vineyard in the Golden Pasture. It's just that the vineyard is not as productive as here, but the quality of the grapes produced is better than here.

After finishing speaking, Wang Hao walked slowly by the grapevine alone, he was wearing a short slim windbreaker today. Hunter Valley in May is a little cooler.

In fact. The Hunter Valley is much bigger than most people think, and in addition to hundreds of wineries, it is also the most representative of the Australian life pursuits.

In the Hunter Valley, no matter which winery's vineyard you are in, Wang Hao can always see kangaroos bouncing around.

Golden Winery also keeps some kangaroos, a biodynamic cycle that makes them an effective "weed-wrestler" and their droppings make a good fertilizer. The Hunter Valley became the de facto organic wine region.

It's hard to touch all the vines on foot. Wang Hao thought about it, and simply performed a large-scale improvement technique. Anyway, only vines are left in the vineyard at this time, and the weeds are cleared.

Thanks to the crazy birth of iron thread grass some time ago, Wang Hao now has a very meticulous control over the magic power in his body, and he slowly stopped after casting several spells in a row.

Anyway, he's going to spend a few days at the winery and perform a refinement every day, which is pretty much enough.

At this time, a kangaroo stood beside the barbed wire fence in a daze, its little ears turned slightly, and the animal that would not retreat immediately turned around and jumped towards the meadow in the distance.

Winters in the Hunter Valley aren't too cold, and while the vines have all lost their leaves, the meadows are green and don't starve the kangaroos.

Wang Hao looked at the bleak scene of the vineyard here and the thriving green grass not far away, these are completely two seasons.

Although the major wineries in the Hunter Valley are working hard to develop members, and then there will be rich activities every month to meet new people and expand social contacts, red wine also attracts people of a certain social status with its different levels, which is why more and more wealthy people are willing to buy wineries, including Yao Ming and Zhao Wei.

In addition, many events also like to be a winery superstar, such as weddings, press conferences, and the rich can charter a winery when they are happy, hold a wedding or press conference on the lawn, and then drink together and have a good conversation.

If you can, you can stay at the winery for a few days, take a painting class, a cooking class, and sit in a hydrogen balloon to enjoy the winery completely. Wine is just a substitute, and behind it is more of a lifestyle and social circle.

However, the Golden Winery is like an outlier, it has been almost eight months, it does not sell wine, it does not develop members, but this kind of action makes people always pay attention to the Golden Winery, waiting for its big move.

Standing outside the two villas, Wang Hao found that the European-style architecture matched the winery as a whole, one of which was for the general manager John Cliff and his family, and Andrew and the rest of the winery's employees all had properties in the Hunter Valley.

Although Wang Hao's villa has not been inhabited for a long time, there are cleaners who come to clean it every week, so everything can be used normally after moving in now.

"I really wanted to call you just now, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself." Su Jing was standing on the edge of the kitchen, she was cleaning the fungi in her hands, and on the dining table on the side was an induction cooker, with the smell of hot pot on it.

It's just that Wang Hao smelled a strong aroma of wine in the air, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Eat hot pot at noon today?" But why is it so big that you break the wine on the ground? ”

Leah, the bodyguard, has already put on an apron and turned into a chef, she is slicing the beef, and after hearing Wang Hao's question, she immediately replied: "No, this is a new way of eating that we have developed, using wine as the bottom of the pot, Su Jing put forward this idea, the clear soup of cheese and wine, and the red soup full of chili peppers and peppercorns on the outside, she is really a genius!" ”

"Hear me, I'm also very good at eating." Su Jing touched her nose, she also had a whim, so she put this idea into practice.

Looking at the mandarin duck hot pot in front of him, Wang Hao said with admiration: "You are indeed very thoughtful, you are really a genius in terms of foodies." (To be continued.) )
