Chapter 435
It really made people feel a little irritable when it started to rain again, but this interaction between Lin Wan's master and servant succeeded in this irritability, making the originally somewhat dull atmosphere seem a little lively.
After getting into the carriage, Lin Wan did not go directly to the winery as everyone thought, but let the carriage go to the orchard first.
The road from Zhuangzili to the orchard is not difficult to walk because it is a stone road.
It's just that at this moment, the orchard is almost not even a place to put your feet because of the heavy rain for days.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the orchard, and Lin Wan got off the carriage and stood on the stone road to look at the orchard.
The originally neat grape trellis obviously fell down due to the violent storms for several days, and although some reinforcement was carried out later, it still looked a little decadent.
The grapes that were blown off by the wind everywhere under the grape trellis, Lin Wan's eyes flashed with darkness.
Looking at such an orchard, Qi Jun's face, which was a few points darker than everyone present, suddenly turned red: "This, I ......"
In fact, Lin Wan didn't mean to blame, it took a lot of hard work to be able to be like this after the storm.
She just felt sorry that this year's hard work was ruined by God like this!
She didn't come here to catch anyone's loopholes, but to see if there were any places in the orchard that were not in place, and try to check and fill in the gaps, so that the loss of the orchard could be minimized.
Although the current condition of the orchard did not allow her to go in and take a closer look, it still made her see that there was something wrong.
"Brother Qi Jun, you instruct you to go down and let people dig the drainage ditch in the orchard again to eliminate the problem of water accumulation in the orchard." Lin Wan interrupted Qi Jun and pointed to a stagnant waterway in the orchard.
In the past few days, because of the sour wine problem in the winery, Qi Jun pounced on the winery day and night, and the orchard was naturally negligent, and after listening to Lin Wan's words at this time, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted at the orchard.
Soon a man ran out of the orchard, one foot deep and one foot shallow, who was Shi Lin, one of the directors of the orchard.
Shi Lin is the old man in the vineyard of Zhennan Houfu, and the family lives in Zhuangzi in Zhennan Houfu, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all cooks in Zhuangzi's kitchen, so they naturally know the news that Lin Wan came to Zhuangzi.
However, at this moment, I was still very surprised to see Lin Wan and others standing outside the orchard.
Because of the mud, Shi Lin stopped a foot away from Lin Wan and the others, and said hello to several masters with a little crampedness.
After Shi Lin asked for peace, Qi Jun opened his mouth and explained: "Uncle Shi, you take a few people to drain the stagnant water in the orchard, and pass the drainage ditch by the way." ”
Shi Lin hurriedly responded.
Then I heard Lin Wan say: "Uncle Shi, let everyone stop picking up grapes on the ground." The grapes on the hanging trees are harvested as soon as they are seven ripe. ”
Listening to Lin Wan's words, Qi Jun couldn't help but look at Lin Wan in surprise.
Seven ripe grapes can be made into wine, but because the ripeness is insufficient, the sweetness is naturally insufficient, and more sugar needs to be added when making wine, which will naturally increase the cost of winemaking.
Lin Wan smiled indifferently: "I don't know when this rain will fall, instead of making fertilizer, it is better to pick it earlier." As a result, the cost of sake brewing will increase, but the yield will be guaranteed. ”
Originally, Lin Wenqing also planned to speak against it, although the profit of wine is large, but it is not wise to increase the cost for no reason.
However, after hearing Lin Wan's words, Lin Wenqing's heart moved again, and he quickly calculated an account in his heart, and immediately gave Lin Wan a big thumbs up for her decisiveness.
Compared to the grapes lost due to the storms these days, the increased cost of adding sugar by picking them early is really nothing!
"I agree with Sister Wan'er's proposal!" With this account in his heart, Lin Wenqing immediately expressed his opinion.
Lin Hongxuan has only followed Lin Wenqing for a few months, and he is not clear about the process of winemaking, so he doesn't know the inside story, but he believes that Lin Wenqing will not do a loss-making business, and he believes in Lin Wan's judgment of fruits and wine.
Qi Jun has been by Daddy Ye's side for seven or eight years, and even if he hasn't learned all the essence of Daddy Ye, the accounts will still be calculated, and the speed is not satisfied.
At this time, he already had an account in his heart, knowing that Lin Wan's decision was the right response to the bad weather.
Just gave up all the grapes that were blown off the ground by the wind, Qi Jun was really reluctant, so he looked at Lin Wan and put forward his own suggestion: "Forget about the scattered grapes on the ground, but those bunches of intact ones still have to be picked up." ”
Lin Wan looked at Shi Lin, Shi Lin hurriedly nodded and explained: "Every day, there will be a lot of grape trellises blown down by the wind, when you lift the shelf, no matter how careful you are, there will still be bunches falling to the ground, of course, some grapes that have not fallen will also be blown down by the wind." There are dozens of baskets of these grapes to pick up, but after sending them to the winery, it takes a lot of effort to sort them. ”
Lin Wan has dozens of baskets a day, which is not much compared to the entire orchard, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, but it takes some effort to reduce the loss, and naturally stands on the side of reducing the loss.
So Lin Wan said: "Then please ask Uncle Shi to bother more, collect as many bunches of grapes as possible, and forget about the scattered and corrupt ones." The water in the orchard should be as good as possible, which is related to the future of the orchard. ”
Shi Lin replied again and again, and after making sure that Lin Wan had no more explanations and Qi Jun had no other explanations, he saluted everyone and entered the depths of the orchard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Soon a few villagers with hoes came out of the depths of the orchard and began to dig ditches from the entrance of the orchard to drain the water into the depths of the orchard.
Lin Wan nodded with satisfaction, and then got back in the car and went to the winery.
Despite the ups and downs, the brewery is as hot as in previous years.
When Lin Wan entered the winery, she began to inspect the fruit sorting process as she usually did when she came to the winery.
The amount of work brought by the wind and rain to the sorting process has increased significantly.
This process is mostly for some older women with weak physique, and it has always been the most lively process in the brewery, but today it seems a little dull.
Even when he saw Lin Wan and his party coming in, he raised his head and said hello to Lin Wan and the others, but no one stopped what they were doing.
This year's grapes were so hard to sort!
Lin Wan saw from this end to the other, and her brows almost never relaxed.
Although these women sorted them carefully, almost every basket of sorted grapes was mixed with a few grapes that looked okay but were actually a little rotten.
These spoiled grapes enter the winemaking process, which can affect the quality of the wine at least or ruin a pool of wine.
In order to expand the scale of wine production and also for the quality of wine, the winery was renovated at the beginning of spring last year, and several winemaking pools were built, each of which can make thousands of pounds of grapes.
Even if calculated according to the lowest-grade wine produced by the winery, the loss of spoiling a pool of wine can be hundreds of taels.
