The living estate is divided into two buildings.

The building she lives in now is the main building, with three floors, which is the residence of the old lady when she was there, and there is no one else except the old housekeeper and the cook, but it is still very clean.

There is also a two-storey living building next to it, which is used by technicians, winemakers and workers.

Across the road from the living estate, covered with roses, is a building with an old brewery and a professional wine cellar.

In front of the brewery, some workers are moving large wooden barrels in and out, and some are loading and unloading.

If the living estates and wineries are like the center of the circle, then the 500 acres of vineyards that surround them are the circle.

Xu Yin stood in front of the manor, resting her hand on her forehead, looking from afar.

The old housekeeper swept the garden with a broom, went to make a pot of black tea, and asked the cook to prepare some snacks that Xu Yin might like to eat, and sent them together.

The original body has been learning French with Grandpa Xu since he was a child, and his oral communication is much more slippery than English, but Xu Yin is still more proficient in English, and French was only learned for a while in the last small world and Song Mingjin when he went abroad.

Fortunately, the old housekeeper can switch between two languages and can switch freely.

The two chatted speculatively.

He said that the longest of these trees in the vineyard is more than 40 years old, and the shortest is about 15 years.

Generally speaking, if the vine is more than fifty years old, the yield becomes very low. Before Grandpa Xu died, he came here to inspect and then changed a batch. Even the newest vines are now more than ten years old.

Xu Yin remembered that there were many carefully selected old vine vines in the system warehouse, and decided to find a day to take them out and replace those old trees that were about to turn 50 years old.

The grapes here do not ripen until September or October, and at the moment they are still clusters of small green fruits, crowded one after another under the wide leaves.

Instead of going over to disturb the workers, she walked around and went upstairs to review her professional class.

In the past few days of jet lag, she spent her time reviewing, wandering, and chatting with the old housekeeper.

She showed the housekeeper a photo of Zhang Peng and asked him if he had ever been to the winery.

The butler glanced at it and nodded, indicating that he had come.

He still has the impression that he came to buy wine, but after looking around, he didn't buy any wine, which was too expensive. But the free tasting was one cup after another, and I drank a lot.

The housekeeper was a little angry when he mentioned this, and said that there was another Chinese and two foreigners who had come with Zhang Peng, and that they were neither speaking English nor French, and he could not understand what they were talking about.

Xu Yin nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the housekeeper to come to Zhang Peng's monitoring.

In the surveillance, Zhang Peng and the three people seemed to be very cautious, either with their backs to the monitoring probe, so that people could not see the shape of his mouth, or they chose to talk in a place where there were workers laughing and working, and the background sound was very noisy.

If you want to convince Xu's father to believe that Zhang Peng has bad intentions, it is not enough to rely on such a period of monitoring.

Xu Yin hadn't come up with a countermeasure yet, and Wen Lisha came to play with her.

"Yin, I persuaded my grandfather that he would allow us to visit the vineyard where he worked." Lisa said to her with a happy face, "Let's go, let's have dinner at my house tonight, my grandmother will cook Chinese food, it tastes good." ”

Xu Yin went upstairs and picked out a few gifts suitable for her companions, and went to the Rothschild Winery with her.

Before I got off the bus, I saw the iconic building, the Château de Lafite.

"Let's go! I'll take you to my grandfather. ”

Xu Yin followed her to the place where Lisa's grandfather worked.

The other party greeted her warmly, opened a bottle of wine, and invited her to taste it.

Xu Yin also brought a few bottles of home-grown wine, but she was a little embarrassed, as if the class had an axe. But the other party didn't mind at all, and accepted it with a hearty smile.

Lisa took her grandfather's arm and coquettishly said: "Don't just take it and don't drink it, this is made by Yin Yin's own winery, not just bought from outside." ”

"Oh? Isn't she Chinese? Is there a winery here? Old Ivan was surprised.

"Of course! When her great-grandfather opened the winery, you didn't even come to work here. ”

Old Ivan was obviously very interested when he heard this, so he asked which winery, Xu Yin reported the name of his winery, and he raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.

However, since it was his working time at the moment, he didn't say much, but asked his granddaughter to entertain her new friends, as long as it was not a place with a sign that said "No Idlers Enter".

Xu Yin was dragged by a new friend to play with her.

Rothschild Winery covers an area of more than 1,500 acres, which is three times the size of Xu Yinjia Winery.

In the vast vineyard, three generations of old, middle and young vines are planted in different areas, and the vines in the old area are more than 50 years old, and the whole batch is replaced with 35 years old young trees. This point is worth learning, Xu Yin secretly remembered it.

"Yin Yin, look at that, that's my favorite place to stay every time I come." Lisa pointed not far away, where a five- or six-meter-wide river meandered through the middle of the vineyards. There is a small patch of greenery on either side of the river, and where the greenery meets the vineyards is a row of small fountains that gush water. The overflowing water spills on the ground and flows down the concave tubes into the vineyards, moistening the surrounding soil.

Xu Yin also kept this in her mind.

Her family's winery is still the old-fashioned method of drawing water from the river pipe, but she seems to have a set of fully automatic irrigation equipment stocked in the system warehouse, and it is convenient to use it without a fountain.

The two lay down and chatted on the shaded grass until the sun went down and the winery workers had finished work, and then they went hand in hand to her grandfather's house.

The elder Ivan was the oldest winemaker in the winery, and the owner gave him a two-story building. He and Lisa's grandmother lived here for a long time.

Lisa's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Ivan, is indeed a master of Chinese cuisine, not only roasting crispy duck, but also wrapping dumplings and steaming fish, constantly beckoning Xu Yin to eat, and using chopsticks to put it in her bowl.

After a happy meal, Lisa made a pot of tea, took a few pieces of apple pie baked by her grandmother, and took Xu Yin to her grandfather's study.

"Grandfather wants to talk to you, let's talk while eating."

Xu Yin helped her carry the teapot: "You haven't eaten yet?" ”

"Hehe, my stomach is full when I eat, but not in Dim Sh.

Xu Yin smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"You go and help my grandfather bring the pipe from the coffee table downstairs." Old Ivan turned his granddaughter away and turned his head to look at Xu Yin, "Don't be nervous, little girl, I just have something I want to tell you, Lisa is not stable enough, I'm afraid she will be shocked when she knows." ”

Xu Yin sat up straight and leaned forward slightly: "You say, I'll listen." ”

"About three months ago, two Chinese people came to our winery to observe and study, you know, my son-in-law is Chinese, over the years to come and go, although I can't speak well, but I can roughly understand, they seem to have a premeditated plan for your winery, you have to be careful."
