"Nice to meet you, Camille."

Camille Steele, a pretty handsome girl, smiled at Long Yun when she greeted him.

"Welcome to visit, Mr. Yun."

Hearing such a three-legged cat Chinese, Long Yun and Shangguan Ling both smiled, and they didn't mean to say anything to correct them. Taking Camilli's hand, the two radiant girls walked into the villa talking and laughing, and Long Yun followed behind with his luggage, looking around curiously as he walked.

As far as the eye can see, the vines and plants that crawl on the walls, and the traces of rain washing on the steps, these details are not very inconspicuous, but Long Yun's semi-professional sensitivity allows him to see them one by one.

At a glance, the first impression of this estate is that it has a long history, as can be seen by looking at the architectural style and traces of time.

Walking into the villa, in the retro-style villa hall, they meet the male owner Brown Steele; This man is fifty years old, his face is ruddy, but his figure is really a little blessed. exchanged a few words with them in a loud voice (in fact, Long Yun didn't understand it at all), and after chatting for a while, he politely said goodbye and went to get busy with the matter at hand. Recently, it was the season of grape and lavender harvesting, which is about the same as the farming work he has not seen in China for a long time.

After talking to Ka Mili very happily, Shangguan Ling noticed the bored Long Yun after a while, so he asked him to go out and walk casually, and then call him when she needed it.

In the huge manor, Long Yun wandered around at will, but he only looked at a few nearby buildings to know that the area here was indeed not small; Although there is no danger of getting lost, he can't go too far because of the work of the bodyguard.

Walking along the manor path, with a little care, he could feel Shangguan Ling's consciousness activities. Although he couldn't touch the specific thoughts because of the distance, he could still detect the general situation immediately. Just now, Shangguan Ling also said that he would call him if there was something, and it was useless when there was really something wrong; If it weren't for the ability to consciously snoop, he would definitely not let his employer out of sight.

Basking in the 3 p.m. sun and seeing the intoxicating violets of the rolling fields in the distance, you don't need to make a distinction to smell the faint scent of lavender in the air. On the way by car, Long Yun can smell the unique fragrance of vanilla here, and now stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and there is a warm majestic breeze, which is indeed very pleasant.

It is said that the south of France is a paradise for summer vacations, and the beauty of the Mediterranean climate seems to be true: in such an idyllic place, it is really difficult to think about whether it is the mood or the body.

For the rest of the day, Long Yun and Shangguan Ling, accompanied by Camille, visited the winemaking workshop near the estate.

Unlike Long Yun's, when he heard about the wine produced here, he thought he would see traditional handicraft workshops and quaint underground wine cellars. But now what is presented in front of you is a huge scene of clean and tidy, and the equipment is shining with stainless steel, and it can be seen at a glance that many processes have adopted fully automatic control, and there is no longer a lot of manual participation.

As far as he knows, there are many methods of making red wine, and the common characteristics are destemming, pressing, and then the pulp, kernel, and peel are all packed into fermentation vats for fermentation, and the fermentation process is carried out at the same time as the alcohol fermentation and the extraction of pigments and aromatic substances. While the must is fermented in vats to produce alcohol, the skins and pulp are soaked in the must, which releases the colour and durability of the wine within 5-7 days.

The whole process seems simple, but in fact it is exactly the case, many people can buy fresh grapes from the market and make their own wine at home, which shows that the process is not as mysterious as it seems.

But to make high-quality wines, at least they do taste typical of the aroma and taste, and you can't do it casually. First of all, the content of tannins in the wine should be moderate, low is not suitable for long-term storage, and high taste is too sour; In addition, the sugar content should also be mastered just right, and many home-brewed wines are sweet and greasy to drink, so they can probably only be classified as drinks.

Of course, there are many indicators of the so-called good wine, such as wine color, density, taste and aftertaste. But having said that, as long as it is a wine with strict selection of ingredients and a formal process, the quality can be said to be quite good, and as for the so-called differences that make different wines have a staggering price difference, Bacheng is just a gimmick of marketers.

As I walked, I finally tasted the wine that had just been produced here, and compared it with the aged samples used for comparison, the difference was indeed quite obvious, and even a layman like Long Yun could notice the difference. Unlike spirits with a high alcohol content, wine cannot be stored indefinitely, which is a blessing; Otherwise, I don't know what kind of Cheng dù will be hyped up by a few profiteers like liquor.

That night, in the dining room of the manor villa, Long Yun and the others were warmly welcomed by the owner of the manor.

Seeing the sumptuous dinner on the oak table in front of him, the wide variety of dishes really opened Long Yun's eyes. Unlike the signature dishes in the hotel, it turns out that the French usually make these dishes when they eat big meals; He cautiously stirred up his knife and fork and tasted them one by one, and most of them tasted quite good.

I knew that he didn't understand the language, and when arranging the seats, Camille deliberately sat next to him and acted as a temporary translator, but her Chinese level was indeed so-so, and there were many jokes in the middle.

Thinking that Europeans generally understand multiple languages, Long Yun later talked to her in English, and the two of them had a good chat.

Considering Shangguan Ling's previous comments on his eating appearance, Long Yun used the tableware carefully, and sometimes looked at Shangguan Ling, who was sitting diagonally opposite, but found that she was chatting with the Brown couple very engagedly, and did not notice her eating appearance problem at all.

……

After dinner, unlike what is customary in the big cities, the rest time here is quite early, and there is silence in the manor at about nine o'clock in the evening. After arranging Shangguan Ling's residence as usual, Long Yun went back to the next room to take a shower, and lay on the bed listening to the shallow sound of insects outside the window.

In such a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems that people's mood has become extraordinarily calm.

The windows were wide open, and there was a cool breeze in the room; Just as he was about to fall asleep, this thought popped into his mind. He hadn't traveled to a parallel world before, but now he didn't know if it was because he was in France, so he thought it would be better to go and see the situation.

What should come will come eventually, and even if it is delayed, the problem will not go away on its own.

After escaping for so long, now he still has to go back and face the reality in that parallel time and space.
