Chapter 226: Wine Lees

Seeing that the academy has also opened, Xiangyun and the people below are also responsible for handling related matters. Li Anran, who had just discovered that an industry was very beneficial to him, didn't bother to go back and forth with the officials of Datang.

So he directly found an excuse to go back to the upper realm to do things, and traveled back to modern time and space. After returning to Island No. 2 from Island No. 5, which had maintained its original appearance, Li Anran did not stay long, and took his private jet to Napa Winery.

After some time, the operation of the winery is still in good condition under the wholehearted management of Smith. And the third-generation grapes that have been planted before after time travel are also growing well.

"Boss, you're here." Smith, who was making a perfect record of the new varieties of grapes that accounted for a tenth of the total number of planted grapes in the vineyard, quickly stood up and greeted someone when he saw someone coming.

"How's it going, Smith, are these grapes doing well?" Li Anran, who had already seen the original grape varieties planted by the winery when he came here, looked at the vines in front of him that were obviously more lush, and said with a smile.

"It's really growing well, but, Boss, it doesn't mean that it's growing well now, only after it bears grapes and becomes familiar can you prove whether the grapes are good or not." Smith, who shook his head, said.

"OK, OK, then when the grapes are produced and ripe, let's divide the winners and losers." Zhilu said that Li Anran, who couldn't joke when he was doing business, waved his hand again and again and said: "This time, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Something. Boss, if you can get it, can you wait for me for five minutes and then get back to the office after I finish taking notes? Looking at the vine beside him, Smith hesitated for a moment before saying.

If this is replaced by other bosses who come out of China, they may feel that the person in front of them is too ignorant. The dignified boss has something to call, and if he doesn't hurry over to listen to the teachings, he still has to wait, which is the rhythm of death.

But contact with each other for so long. I also know that this person looks a little bit sophisticated. But as a subordinate, Li Anran, who is absolutely suitable, naturally will not have a bad impression because of such a trivial matter.

"No problem, then you get busy first. I'll go to the cellar and get some wine. Li Anran, who shrugged his shoulders. After laughing. He turned around and left.

said it was five minutes, but Li Anran waited for half an hour before someone came to the winery's office.

"I'm sorry. Boss, something has been delayed for some time. Smith, who knew that he was late, said apologetically as soon as he entered the door.

"Huh...... As long as it's for the winery, I don't mind waiting a little longer. Sit down and let's talk. Li Anran, who waved his hand, pointed to the sofa in his office and said with a smile.

After pouring two glasses of champagne produced by the winery, Li Anran said: "Smith, what do you usually do with the wine residues produced after winemaking in our winery?" ”

"Sake lees?" Smith, who didn't expect the other party to ask this question, was stunned for a moment and said: "The wine residue in the winery, we are currently selling it directly." ”

"For sale?" Li Anran, who tasted the champagne in the glass, asked again: "Does anyone buy this kind of wine pomace?" ”

"Of course, although the lees look like waste, the economic value is still relatively high." Smith, who nodded, said.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Li Anran, who had only checked the relevant information a little before coming, asked.

"The most valuable of the lees is grape seeds, which can be cold-pressed into grapeseed oil, which has a beautiful and natural pale yellow or pale green color, and is one of the most popular and effective varieties of base oils."

"I also know that this grape seed oil has natural and non-toxic properties, and the hemp oleic acid contained in it can resist free radicals, anti-aging, help absorb vitamins C and E, strengthen the elasticity of the circulatory system, reduce UV damage, protect collagen in the skin, improve vein swelling and edema, and prevent melanin precipitation."

"Proanthocyanidins have the effect of protecting the elasticity of blood vessels, protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, preventing the destruction of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, maintaining the elasticity and tension of the skin, and avoiding skin sagging and wrinkles."

"This grapeseed oil is highly penetrating, refreshing and non-greasy, and absorbs easily into the skin, making it suitable for all skin types. Therefore, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and even athletes can be used, and the value on the market is higher than that of olive oil. ”

Smith, who was very curious about why his boss suddenly asked about this, said the information he knew, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the boss has also discovered the value of wine pomace, so he wants to build a grape seed oil processing plant?" ”

"Is there any use for wine pomace other than grape seeds?" Seeing that the content of what the other party said was not much different from what he knew, Li Anran nodded and asked again.

"In addition to the high value of grape seeds, wine pomace can also be used to distill brandy directly. However, the quality of this brandy is very poor, and it is generally called edible alcohol in the industry, which is much worse than normal brandy. In addition to this, wine lees can also be used to make vinegar. Smith, who had guessed in his heart, said.

"I saw a report earlier that Australian research found that feeding cows the rhizome and pomace of wine grapes can not only increase milk production but also greatly reduce animal biogas emissions. Li Anran, who gently shook the wine glass in his hand, asked.

"I've seen this news before, and it's said to have a good effect. However, the winery has never tried this before, so I need to check the specific situation before I can find out. Smith, who was stunned for a moment, said.

For such an answer, Li Anran was not the slightest dissatisfied. On the contrary, this kind of ignorance is ignorance of the Tao, and the attitude of not knowing how to pretend to understand is very satisfying. So he smiled and said, "Smith, I'm planning to build a large dairy and beef cattle farm recently, you can go back and help me check what kind of effect feeding with wine pomace can do." ”

"No problem, Boss, I'll do this right away." Smith, who put down the champagne glass in his hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, if you want to invest in a large-scale farm and need an expert, I can recommend someone. ”

"Oh? That's the best, tell me, who is it? Li Anran, who hadn't had time to tell Anne the news about the farm and the dairy, said with a smile.

"His name is Williams, and he is a very good friend of mine. I used to work in a large farm, but because his boss had recently sold the farm, and the new owner had his own people, ......," said Smith, who gave a brief introduction to the situation.

"Well, the matter of the farm is still just a plan, and besides, I plan to open this farm on my island, and if your friend can satisfy me, and is willing to go over there, I think we can talk about it." Zhilu said that most of the other party's friends were Li Anran, who was unemployed, and nodded and said.

"No problem, Boss, I'll be sure to talk to my friend. Rest assured, his professionalism is excellent. It's just that the temper is a little like mine, so ...... "Smith, who got the promise, was happy, but he didn't forget to tell the truth of the matter, so as not to have problems afterwards."

The director of the winery in front of him must have also found that his own personality was not easy to get along with, so he reminded himself so as not to make trouble when the time came, Li Anran, after draining the champagne in the glass in one gulp, said with a smile:

"Smith, as your boss, I believe you should know me as a person. As long as he is professional enough and can work for the company wholeheartedly like you, I can still accommodate a little temper. Well, if you can get it, you can arrange for me to meet him at the winery tomorrow afternoon, is there a problem? (To be continued......)
