Alpine pasture

Chapter 590 Good Years

I squatted in the villa for another five or six days. Before it rained, Ju An became more and more restless. It was not due to other reasons, but mainly because the space water this year had not been put into the well in the garden. Well, plus the weather is so dry and hot, this thing has made a big loss this year, so why not? Although I don’t drink much red wine, the bottle is red dollars.Early this morning, I took Wang Fan and drove to the vineyard to have a look.

The car drove out of the villa area, Wang Fan sat in the co-pilot's seat, called Bernster, the winemaker of the winery, put down the phone after a few words, turned to Ju An and said: " Burnster is already waiting for us, you said that the emperor is not in a hurry to eunuchs this time, and suddenly he became a good boss, knowing that he cares about his own property."

"I just saw that the weather is weird. It happens to be nearby. Let's go and see the vineyards." Ju An said to Wang Fan while driving and looking at the road.

Directly from the start point to the end point, follow the navigation and walk without fear of getting lost. When passing through the city of Los Angeles, Ju An saw the guy opposite the city hall gate.

Pointing to the white buddy sitting on the recliner, he said to Wang Fan, "This petitioner is such an idiot, but he's still here this year."

Wang Fan stretched his head and looked at the white man on the side of the road. It couldn't be called a convertible, but a big white parasol surrounded by white cloth, forming a simple tent with two A card, it says against the California government's collection of taxes or reduction of expenditures. Ju'an saw this guy squatting here two years ago, and he hasn't left yet. I don't know if I haven't worked in the past few years Survive on what.

There are a lot of cars on the road now, and there is a small traffic jam from time to time. At this stall, a man who looks like a tourist walked up to this buddy and asked to take a photo with this white buddy.A few meters away from the illegal building, there were two policemen standing on the side of the road talking with dogs, as if they were waiting to cross the road, and they didn't even look at the illegal building close at hand.The end is very irresponsible. There is no professional urban management job here in the United States. These patrol officers usually do this job themselves. The American government is a little poorer and cannot afford these part-time workers. American labor is also expensive, so the police have to let the police pass by. When I have nothing to do, I play the job of domestic urban management.

"It's such a hot day, squatting here, what to do at night, there is no air conditioner or anything." Wang Fan was concerned about the heatstroke prevention and cooling situation of others.

Ju An smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, maybe the protest is still in three shifts, and several people take turns to be on duty at the gate of the government."Don't think that this kind of situation is impossible. The strange protests here in the United States have been rotten over the years. There are no tricks. To paraphrase, there is nothing you can't do, only you can't think of it.

The two started to talk about this nail household who had been in front of the government for several years, and the traffic started to move after a while.

Ju An joked to Wang Fan while driving the car: "Lao Mei has enough busy work in the country, and these netizens directly treat the White House as a petition office, and ask Xiao Ao Hei to stipulate that tofu brains can only be salty, not salty. Putting sugar, I don’t know how disturbing Ohei is.”Thinking of seeing this news on the White House website, Ju An wanted to laugh.

Pooh!Wang Fan laughed when he heard this: "That's a group of people who are idle."

The two of them were driving the car, and some people were talking and joking, but they felt that the time passed by a lot, and they drove out of the city very quickly, walked up the hillside, and entered the forest. When we arrived at the entrance of the vineyard valley, it was hot again, and the tall trees were basically gone, and we could only see patches of vineyards everywhere.

Ju An drove the car and talked nonsense with Wang Fan, and then looked at the grapes on both sides of the road from time to time. Obviously, this hot weather still had an impact on the grapes, and many leaves were drooping listlessly from the sun.However, these vineyards belong to others, and have little to do with Ju An. Although they are not their own, their own winery still has to pick part of the wine from nearby vineyards.

The car drove past a gate, and on the square gate, there were several cursive English words written with golden eagle feather feathers. This is when we arrived at our own vineyard, and immediately felt a different scene. Although the leaves were not too energetic, But it's much better than what I saw just now, at least I didn't see a few drooping ones, as if they were dehydrated.At least for now, the aura of space water has not completely disappeared.The rise of grapes is quite gratifying. Bunches of blue grapes hang on the grape rack like small agates.

Hearing the car at the door of the winery, as soon as he got out of the car, Bernster stood at the door and waved to the two. Ju An and Wang Fan walked over with a smile.

"Old Bourne! This look is getting better and better," Wang Fan said to Bournster.

Bernst laughed loudly and said: "The winery's wine is so famous now, of course I'm in a good mood."After speaking, he took Ju An and Wang Fan to the office.

Ju An asked Bernster, "We are on vacation nearby, and it hasn't rained for many days, so it won't affect our grapes much."

Burnster asked: "The impact will definitely be affected, but it is not as big as other gardens. If it continues like this, the grapes will ripen much earlier this year, and the yield will also decrease a lot. Now some nearby vineyards Already spending some of the grapes off the vines."

"Are we planning to reduce the number of grapes?" It is enough to know that others reduce the fruit, but the most important thing is to see if the fruit in your own garden is reduced.

Bernster said: "I haven't thought about this step yet. I am going to observe and observe first. If the sky continues like this, we may also consider reducing the number of grapes so that the remaining grapes can develop better."

Ju An nodded after hearing this, and then said to Bernst: "Find me and Fan a hat, I'm going to have a look in the grape field."

Hearing what Ju An said, Burnster turned around and walked to his office, and then took out two hats with wide brims. They were not cowboy hats, but like miniature Mexican hats. shoulders covered.

Ju An and Wang Fan took the hats and stuck them directly on their heads, and followed Burnst towards the vineyard.

When he arrived in the field, Ju An squatted beside a long grape net, looking at the grapes on the net. After he walked in and took a look, he found that many grapes had already had red threads on them. Indeed, this year The grapes are ripe earlier than when I saw them myself. I guess the grapes were still small at this time.

"The grapes in our vineyard are the best now." Burnster himself shrugged his shoulders after speaking: "In fact, the grapes in our vineyard are the best every year. This year, there is less rain, and it is hotter and more sunny. , It’s a relatively good year, but it’s a bit too early to say these things, if it continues like this, it will be more perfect with a little bit of rain.”Bernst squatted beside Ju An and said with a smile.

After looking at the grapes, they were roughly the same. Ju An took Wang Fan and Bernster to the edge of the big well, with the steel net still on it, and looked inside for a while.

Bernst said: "The water here is good. It is probably connected to some underground water vein. At this time, there is no water level drop. Now we have to rely on it twice a day for watering in the morning and evening."

Ju An turned around with a smile and sat on the edge of the well. The edge was already scorching hot from the sun. After sitting for a while, Ju An moved her butt down. While Wang Fan and Bernster were chatting about grapes, Only then did he put his hands behind his back and put the space water prepared yesterday into the well.

That’s it for the grapes. After reading this, Ju An and Wang Fan went to see the workshop of the vineyard with Burnster, and said hello to some workers. As for the first barrel maker, Of course Ju An was going to chat. The old man was directing seven or eight people now. It was obviously different from when he was squatting and looking at the oak barrels erected next to the broken workshop, and his voice was much louder.

When the three of them entered the wine cellar, they suddenly felt that the heat outside was swept away. The entire wine cellar was filled with barrels of red wine. Ju An reached out and patted the barrel, then looked at the sign on the barrel, It was wine from two years ago.The whole wine cellar is filled with the aroma of oak barrels mixed with wine.

Wang Fan looked at the full oak barrels around him, smiled and said to Ju An: "Think about it, when we first took over, the whole wine cellar was sold out, and now it looks like a winery , the entire large wine cellar is full of fine wine."Then it suddenly occurred to him that the old winemaker he met for the first time didn't know what was going on, so he asked Burnster, "How is the old winery, which is the old winemaker's lawsuit, doing now?" .

Burnster shook his head and said: "Since losing the lawsuit, I have owed a whole body of debts, and I heard that I have gone to a small red wine company that has just started, and it seems to be in Chile or somewhere in South America. I don't know the specific situation. It's all too clear."Who cares about a loser in wine-filled California.

"What a pity old man." Wang Fan reached out and patted the oak barrel and said, "If you sold us the grapes, you might make a fortune. Fortunately, you didn't buy them at that time, or they would have fallen into our hands." .Now Wang Fan and Miles think that the grapes are matured by the unique climate of the year. No one with normal thinking would think that Ju An has a weapon against the sky in his hands.

I don’t know, the reason why Ju An didn’t want to buy it was not because he couldn’t raise it well, but because he disliked the old man’s asking price for being too expensive. He thought that the things cultivated by the water in his own space would be too expensive for you to sell to your buddies. How could there be such a good thing? At that time, Ju An lost his temper.Whether there is any forward-looking Mao relationship with Ju An.
