Chapter 763: Relax Properly
78_78594 (Thanks to my friends yliu, sheep breed, Bei Lingling, and Tang Shen's appreciation of the lollipop wow)
After sending Liu Zaishi and his gang away, Liu Yunxuan rushed directly to Fangfang's vineyard with his family.
I didn't know where to go to play last night, but I came back here in the morning, and Meimei enjoyed a small bucket of small fish blistered in the space and followed Fangfang and them for a while before leaving again.
Now Liu Yunxuan has a bottom in his heart, at least although the dark circles under his eyes don't regard this side as his home, it's not bad to treat it as a hotel, and after a long time, it won't run around.
Xiao Fangfang on the plane was not idle, and kept talking about how she picked grapes and made wine with her, and let her grandmother guess how to squeeze the grapes into juice.
Although Mansour doesn't drink, he also listened attentively to Xiao Fangfang's explanation there, because this Xiao Fangfang is quite interesting even talking and analogizing.
"Uncle Zhao, you're done here, are you going to stay here at the ranch for a few days or go over to see Yanzi?" Liu Yunxuan asked after coming to Uncle Zhao's side and sitting down.
"Go over there and take a look, and then go to the island where I bought him and pick it up, I guess this kid doesn't have anything to manage over there." Uncle Zhao said with a smile.
He also misses his precious grandson a little, and now the little guy is also the time to grow up, he has to go over and take a look, don't know himself for a long time. And since you bought the island, not to mention that it is as good as Liu Yunxuan's side, you have to make it almost the same.
"Yo, ray, why are you still dressed like this today? Is it necessary? After coming to the vineyard, Liu Yunxuan looked at D in a white Tang costume and asked jokingly. The last time I went into the cellar, D was dressed very casually, but now this one is obviously deliberately dressed.
"Andy. This will be a new beginning in my career, and I have to do it with a religious mind. D said with a straight face.
"Uncle D, does Fangfang want to change her clothes too?" Xiao Fangfang came to D's side and asked nervously. I don't have such clothes, so Uncle D shouldn't let me go in then.
"Uncle is just dressed, let's go to the wine bar together. When the time comes, just mix the wine in a certain proportion as my uncle said. D looked at the ghost-like little Fangfang and said.
After coming to the wine cellar, it looked very new to these elders of Liu Yunxuan who came here for the first time. The rows of barrels are displayed here, and it is a spectacular sight to behold.
Now they also have to drink some red wine every day, because Liu Yunxuan said that this is good for the body. However, they have never seen the specific process of making red wine.
"Ray, will the wine in these barrels be bottled in a few days?" Mother Liu asked, pointing to the wine barrel.
"The ones on the left are fine, and the ones on the right are brewed with the old process. I'm here today to give them the final mix. D said with a smile.
"Grandpa. Look, here's Fangfang's wine. Fang Fang smiled and pulled Father Liu to the grape juice she brewed and said prominently.
"Our family is really good, brewed so much, it's enough for grandparents to drink for a long time." Father Liu said with relief.
"Not necessarily, the little guy has given away a lot. It would be nice to save a bucket by then. Liu Yunxuan revealed Fangfang's old bottom.
"It's very bad, they all said that they promised to give Fangfang a barrel of wine." Xiao Fangfang said with a red face.
"Sister Angela, can we drink it now?" Pakarina asked, picking at the edge of the barrel and looking at the grape juice inside.
She didn't know what red wine was and didn't drink, and she often drank all kinds of juices in the pasture, thinking that they were sweet grape juices.
"If you drink it now, you'll probably get drunk. After a while, Uncle will give you all some of the wine, and then let Uncle D help you mix it, and when the wine is ready, you can give it to your parents. Liu Yunxuan took Paralina's little hand and said.
Children don't have a very big sense of value in their hearts, and they never think about whether they are worth anything. Or what you really like. The only thing they care about is that they have a little partner, and they don't have it.
So usually Liu Yunxuan pays attention to this. Xiao Fangfang was not good at showing off just now, so in order to make Doudou and Pakarina not jealous in the future, she had to give them some shares. can't let this affect the friendship between their friends.
After hearing Liu Yunxuan's words, the expressions of the two little guys immediately became much more vivid. Anyway, they now know that they can participate in this time.
D didn't have time to deal with the balance between the children on Liu Yunxuan's side, and after coming to the wine cellar, he also concentrated on tasting the grape juice in the barrel.
"Andy, you can come over and taste it." After closing his eyes and reminiscing for a while, he handed the Cabernet Sauvignon grape juice he had just taken out and saved to Liu Yunxuan.
Liu Yunxuan tasted it carefully. Sour and astringent, this is much worse than the taste of red wine that I have tasted in the past.
"How?" D looked at Liu Yunxuan and asked.
"Are you sure that this fermented Cheng dΓΉ is already okay? Isn't it too sour? Liu Yunxuan said with some doubts.
"Haha. Remember this texture, it's the same as I expected in the recipe. In the future, if you want to make your own sake, you can try it according to different tastes. D said happily.
Now he is even more confident that the juices will be fully blended and matured according to his own recipe, and will surely make a more mellow and delicious red wine.
Liu Yunxuan didn't understand anything about this, so he did what D said anyway. After tasting one of the three grape juices at a time, I try to memorize the taste in my mind, and then rinse my mouth with water and taste the next one again.
In the future, he will make his own wine on the island, and he will not have so much time to study, anyway, the craft has been almost learned, and it should not be a problem to ferment according to the taste in his memory at that time.
But he also knew that the future would definitely not be so easy. Because the quality of the wine made by this old-world craft has too much to do with the age of the grapes, it is not certain what the grapes will be grown in the future.
"Aren't you pouring it directly into those oak barrels that we've ordered?" Liu Yunxuan asked curiously after filtering and filling the mixed grape juice into the new oak barrel.
It took a lot of brain cells to get these nameplates at the beginning, but the small barrels with nameplates were still put aside and not used.
"It takes at least three barrel changes before it is finally sealed into a keg." D explained with a smile, "Although this time it has been concocted. However, there are still a lot of impurities in the wine, which takes time to settle. β
In fact, this time and again filtration and precipitation is also a ripening process of red wine. Because each time it is filled with new oak barrels, these new oak barrels are excellent containers for fine wines.
"That's right, Andy. I'm going to put these wines on the market in different batches. Let's see if the taste will be better under different ripening times. D continued.
A qiΔ is groping. Although he had some previous experience, it was also the previous one. This year's grapes brought him hope but also some minor troubles.
Because these vines have been watered by Liu Yunxuan, the grapes produced are also a little different from the original. Therefore, D does not have so much basis for time control.
"Ray, I told you a long time ago. It's all up to you, and our only goal is to make the best wine possible. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. Liu Yunxuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile. This is also a process of accumulating experience. Whether there will be better development in this area in the future depends on this time. β
"Anyway, those New World craft wines are completely up to your wine appraisal meeting, and you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."
The more you care, the more pressure you put on yourself sometimes. It's good to have pressure, and when there's pressure, you're motivated, but if there's too much pressure, it's easy to crush people.
D has been up and down lately, and he knew about his eye disease at the beginning. I almost didn't go to treatment for sake brewing; The last time I came over, I expressed my enthusiasm for this winemaking, and this time I came here again to express my enthusiasm for winemaking. Liu Yunxuan didn't want his nerves to be too tense.
"I understand what you say, but what I think about every day is how the quality of these wines will look in the future." D said with a wry smile.
Some things are said. It can also be understood clearly. But when you really put it on yourself, it's not so easy to handle.
It's easier said than done. He also knows that his recent form is a bit unopposed, because he has to come to the cellar several times a day to see it before he can rest assured.
"If you're fine, I'll find you some work." After coming outside, Liu Yunxuan said with a smile, "Take some workers to my island, anyway, you don't have anything to do now." Just go over there and help me set up a small area of wine-growing area. β
"It's not far away, and you can get back quickly if there's anything here. Just give yourself a little vacation to relax. Also helped us feed the baby dolphins we had just taken in. β
If D is left here, he will probably be too old to worry about this matter, so I will arrange something else for him now. It can also be distracted.
"Are there any dolphins near that island of yours? That's not bad. D said with a smile.
"Uncle D, the Black Circles family is very pitiful, all the relatives and friends of their family together are only more than a hundred. When you go by, you must feed it more small fish. Fang Fang said from the side.
"The black circles are the name given to that dolphin, the little guy of the national treasure level, the vaquita, the entire population is endangered, and now there are only more than a hundred." Seeing D's puzzled gaze, Liu Yunxuan explained simply.
"Okay, I'll go over and relax, and feed Fangfang the dark circles well." D nodded and said.
He also thinks it's better to relax now, but he is more nervous than when he first made sake himself.
"Yun Xuan, let's bring an oak barrel back, I see that Ah Fu likes oak barrels very much, and he was holding the oak barrel just now and smelling it carefully." Michelle came to Liu Yunxuan's side and said.
Just now they were busy making wine and bartending, so no one paid attention to the two of them. After the arrival of the wine cellar, the little Ah Fu became very interested in these oak barrels.
Although Michelle has become a mother, she is also a little naughty. Seeing that the inside of these oak barrels was well polished, he put little Ah Fu inside.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Afu was very happy all of a sudden, sitting against the bottom of the barrel and turning his head from time to time to smell the smell of the oak barrel.
"If he likes it, bring him some back, and then find a craftsman to help him make a keg that he can hold and play with." It should be interesting to put him in a circle when the time comes. Liu Yunxuan took Ah Fu's little hand and said.
His son is not ordinary, and the things he likes are also non-mainstream, who knows that he also likes oak barrels. But as long as he likes it, he has to help get it, and when the time comes, not only the oak barrel, but also an oak basin for him, and let him go to the sea, so that he can play with the black circles when the time comes.
"You two, I really don't know if it's a child or a toy." Mother Liu listened to the conversation between the two and said angrily.
She is now a little sympathetic to her little grandson, and it is no problem to meet her parents who are so playful. (To be continued).
