Chapter 973: Excited old west

In the afternoon, Xia Ruofei took Feng Wei to the Hunter Valley Garden under the mountain.
This is a revisit to Xia Ruofei. The last time he took Lin Qiao to this side, but also happened to meet Lin Qiao's high school classmate Tan Lili, which triggered a series of things.
Of course, because of the turmoil, Xia Ruofei finally received the largest Golden Oak winery in the Hunter Valley area.
Now that I am back in the Hunter Valley Garden, the scenery is still beautiful, and the theme parks are like dreamy wonderland. Xia Ruofei can't help but feel awkward.
Time has changed, the scenery here is still the same, but those people at the beginning may have their own life trajectories.
Tan Lili, who is going back to China to repeat the remarks, should now be the most stressful moment to prepare for the college entrance examination?
Tan Lili’s boyfriend, Zheng Peng, has already left Australia with her parents’ assets.
Robinson and Brody and Son of the Golden Oaks, after selling the winery, certainly did not dare to stay in the Hunter Valley.
Of course, these people are all self-sufficient, Xia Ruofei is only a little emotional, and will not sympathize with them.
Feng Wei was the first to come to the Hunter Valley Garden, and like the original Lin Qiao, was deeply attracted by the theme park here.
Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella... The scenes in a fairy tale are reproduced here. Feng Wei can’t help but burst into the heart of the girl’s heart, so that Xia Ruofei has taken a lot of photos for her.
The two had been playing for a long time and had a good time.
Early the next morning, they went to the West Winery together.
The batch of grape juice that was first brewed today has been deposited, and the old West workers poured the supernatant into the oak barrels for fermentation.
After Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei asked, they knew that the fermentation of white wine was very strict with temperature and must be controlled between 18 and 20 degrees. Otherwise, the aroma and taste of the wine would be greatly affected.
In addition, the whole fermentation process is about 2 to 3 weeks, that is to say, the grape juice contained in the oak barrels is placed in a constant temperature warehouse for about 20 days, the main fermentation period is completed, and it may take another week or two. The entire fermentation process will be completed.
By that time, the grape juice had actually turned into wine, and the oak barrels were opened to smell the rich wine.
Of course, the subsequent cultivation will continue in oak barrels. At this stage, the yeast that died after fermentation will settle at the bottom of the barrel, and the brewer will mix the dead yeast and the liquor at regular intervals to make the wine taste more rounded.
Finally, after a period of clarification, after removing impurities such as dead yeast and grape crumbs contained in the wine, it can be bottled.
After listening to the introduction of the old West, Feng Wei was disappointed and said: "It will take so long! It seems that we can't wait for the wine to be bottled..."
At least one month before and after this time, Feng Wei is certainly not likely to stay in Australia for so long regardless of the domestic company.
Xia Ruofei has this possibility.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Would you like to take a vacation! I will give you a month's holiday, and you will come to Uncle West to learn how to make wine every day!"
"You don't want it!" Feng Wei said. "Since this is not possible for a while, let's go back to China!"
"Would you like... I will take you there after a month?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
In the past few days, Feng Wei has been very involved in the whole process of wine making. Xia Ruofei can see that Feng Wei is still very interested in this. Maybe it is a relaxing way for her!
Feng Wei hesitated and said: "Let's see it again..."
This is obviously a heartbeat. If you change it before, Feng Wei will definitely refuse to do so.
Xia Ruofei looked at the old West again and asked some curiously: "Uncle West, I just heard you say that these se wines will be bottled after almost a month? Wines are not all preserved in oak barrels. Why? Why did you bottle it so early?"
Old West said with a smile: "Summer, this is the characteristic of the se wine in the Hunter Valley area of ​​Australia. Its ripening process is not done in oak barrels, but in the bottle! It is amazing that in The ripening se in the bottle is fresh and fresh with a hint of lemon, and after a period of ripening, it will develop a classic golden color, and the taste will become richer, such as toast, honey, grass fragrance, etc. ......"
Xia Ruofei nodded frequently and felt that it was a lot of insight.
I have to pay attention to everything. Before, he only knew some basic common sense. This time, through personal experience of the winemaking process, he also felt that there are a lot of details worth paying attention to, and these are valuables passed down from generation to generation. experience.
Old West added: "Of course, oak barrels are still very important. The process of fermentation and cultivation of se is done in oak barrels. In the process, the smell of wood, grass and scent of oak barrels will blend into the wine. In the middle, the level of the wine is richer, so good oak barrels are also very important for wine making."

Oh?
Xia Ruofei said.
What about our batch of oak barrels?

Old West smiled and said: "It's not bad! The upper middle level. Of course, if it is the se grape of the previous years, it is enough to use such oak barrels, but this year's grapes are of high quality, I originally thought Looking for better oak barrels, but unfortunately this is not easy..."
Xia Ruofei’s heart moved a little and suddenly came up with an idea:
Uncle West, these grapes juice ready to be sent to ferment, can you give me two barrels?

Old West stumbled and said: "Summer, I am not willing to give you, the whole winery is yours, you want two barrels of grape juice is definitely no problem... However, the fermentation process must be strictly controlled The temperature, if it is given to you... these grape juices will definitely become sour in the end, it will be wasted!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Uncle West, you should leave it alone. Anyway, our output is so high this year. It is a waste of two barrels to waste. It is when I drink it myself..."
The old West is actually unwilling. The quality of this year's grapes is particularly good. All the wines are the same as his heart, and I am willing to take two buckets at once! If Xia Xiafei is the owner of the winery, he will be ineffective even if he is against it!
Moreover, Xia Ruofei did not have the power to suppress people. Instead, he negotiated with him calmly, and the two barrels were not too much, so he finally nodded helplessly.
Old West waved a worker and was ready to take him to a constant temperature warehouse to carry out two barrels of ready-to-fermented grape juice.
Xia Ruofei quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle West, don't worry! I have a friend in Australia. The oak he planted seems to be good. I want to buy him two oaks. Can you help me see the quality? If the quality is good, Trouble asking me to ask someone to make a few oak barrels. When I want the grape juice to be in the new oak barrel, how about?"
"The oaks in Australia seem to be very common!" Old West said with some hesitation.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "When the wood is shipped, let's say it! If the quality is not good, then use the oak barrel of the winery. Anyway, just two barrels! No problem?"
Old West said with a smile: "Summer, you are the owner of the winery! Of course, your request will not be a problem!"
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei said happily. "Uncle West, then we will leave!" After the oak is shipped, I will be the first to be sent to the winery!"
Old West was busy handling the grape juice, and hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Ruofei, and devoted himself to the work.
Out of the West Winery, Feng Wei curiously asked: "If you fly, do you have a friend who grows oak in Australia?"
"Yes! My friends can be more!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I am going to contact the oak in the afternoon. You should rest on the farm for a long time, or let Liang Ge take you around to go around! No problem?

"Of course, no problem!" Feng Xiao said with a smile. "I am not a child, but I am still with you all day! You are busy!"
Then, Feng Wei couldn't help but ask: "If you fly, according to Uncle West, this fermentation process is so strict with temperature control requirements. Do you want two barrels of grape juice to come out, isn't it wasted?"
"I am useful!" Xia Ruofei said with a mysterious smile. "And I will not leave them in the Wonderland Farm. I have to send it to a friend. In short, you don't care!"
"God is mysterious, will not be the friend of that kind of oak?" Feng Wei joked.
"Great, guess it!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "He also has his own winery. He sent him two buckets for experimentation."
Xia Ruofei naturally has no other Australian friends, and he does not give two barrels of grape juice to people for experimentation. He wants to take it into the space.
As for the oak, Xia Ruofei wants to cut down the oak trees planted in the space. At that time, in order to cultivate the truffles, Xia Ruofei planted a lot of oak trees in the space. The oak trees breed very quickly. Cutting one or two trees will not affect the truffle production.
He also wants to know how much the quality of these oak trees growing in space can be achieved.
However, these can not be said with Feng Wei, Xia Ruofei can only be so open-minded.
Feng Wei had no doubts. After all, this was Xia Ruofei’s private affairs, and she did not ask more.
Returning to Wonderland Farm, Xia Ruofei asked Liang Qichao to help arrange a flatbed truck for transporting wood when he was having lunch.
As for the loading location, Xia Ruofei said that he still didn't know where his friend would unload the wood. So let Liang Qichao contact the car and tell him the driver's contact information. He will contact the driver directly.
Liang Qichao also had no doubts and promised.
Xia Ruofei went back to the room after lunch, and entered the space after locking the door.
In the space, Xia Qing is still diligently managing the precious crops for Xia Ruofei. Under his efforts, the scope of the medicine garden is also expanding. Later, the space medicine garden can meet the raw material needs of the pharmaceutical factory.
After the white raccoon was rectified by Xia Ruofei, he was very honest recently. Most of the time he was aware of the space rule. This solid space structure, which is very close to the outside world, is equivalent to a huge treasure house. It lives here. Very peace of mind.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You are all busy! Don't worry about me!"
After Xia Qing and the white raccoon left, Xia Ruofei took the chainsaw from Yuan Yuanjing, selected two oak trees to lay them down, and then removed the branches and vines, and soon got two pieces of wood.
After the treatment, Xia Ruofei hurriedly left the space.
He asked Liang Qichao to come to the key of the farm pickup truck and drove off the farm alone.
Australia is very sparsely populated, and some desolate places are often hundreds of kilometers away from the wild. Xia Ruofei easily found a remote road. He observed it. There are no people in the vicinity for a few kilometers, and it will take a long time. There are one or two cars passing by, which can be said to be very desolate.
After Xia Ruofei got out of the car, he took the two pieces of wood out of the space and placed them on the side of the road. Then he took out his mobile phone and contacted the driver.
He has already determined his location through the satellite positioning system. After reporting the position to the driver, the driver told him that it may take two or three hours to get there. There is no way in Australia. The Australian area is very large.
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, he took out a recliner and a parasol from the space and spent time under the umbrella.
When the sky was dim, the flatbed truck finally arrived.
In the process of waiting, even a car on this road did not pass, showing how remote.
The driver also knew in advance that he had to transport two pieces of wood, so he also had tools such as hinges, and there were several workers in the car.
The driver was also very curious about this desolate loading location. Xia Ruofei explained that it was sent by a foreign driver who was unfamiliar with the road. He returned it when he unloaded it. He could only call the car for transshipment.
Xia Ruofei also pretended to be a bit angry and complained a few words.
The driver did not ask too much. Anyway, the money would not be less than him. He immediately organized the workers to start loading.
Everyone skillfully tied the wood, slinged it and fixed it with a wire rope. Then Xia Ruofei drove the pickup in front of the road, and the two cars headed to the West Winery.
When I arrived at the winery, the sky was all dark, and the workers who had been busy for a day went home, and the winery was quiet.
Xia Ruofei pressed the doorbell at the door of the winery and shouted: "Uncle West, come over and open the door! My oak is shipped!"
After a while, a footstep sounded, and the old West came out in pajamas because she had to pick up the grapes very early, so during this time the two usually went to rest after dinner.
Xia Ruofei said with apologetics: "Uncle West, I am sorry to disturb you to rest! The oak I said in the morning has arrived. You open the door and let the car go in and unload the wood, then you can continue to rest..."
Old West smiled and said: "It's okay, we just lie down... Summer, your friend is quite efficient!"
Xia Ruofei said: "The driver sent the wrong place, I also found a flatbed truck, otherwise it will not be sent so late..."
"Come in!" Old West opened the door of the winery and let the two cars come in.
There were only two pieces of wood, so the workers quickly dumped them into the open space in the winery.
Then the truck driver took the worker and drove away the freight. Naturally, it was settled with the Wonderland Farm.
"Uncle West, I am sorry! You have to go to rest!" Xia Ruofei said, "Tomorrow remember to help me find a hoop to see if I can use it to help me play a few oak barrels."
Old West smiled and said: "Don't worry! Don't worry, let me see how your wood is..."
After that, the old West went to the corridor and turned the headlights on, and then climbed to the side of the wood, and knelt down to observe.
In fact, the old West is not interested in wood, good oak is very tight for the winery, and the oak in Australia is actually of average quality, the wood that can be transported so quickly, the planting ground must be away The Hunter Valley area is not very far away. He has not heard of any place in this nearby area that produces good oak!
In fact, most of the oak barrels used in the winery come from the United States, France and Hungary.
But when he looked at it a few times, he couldn't help but blink his eyes, and then couldn't wait to get close to the audience. The whole person was on the wood.
When Xia Ruofei looked at the old West, he knew that his oak was definitely not bad. In fact, he never worried about it. He was bathed in a rich aura all day in the spiritual space, so that the quality of the oak that grew up in this environment could be poor. go with?
"How are you, Uncle West!" Xia Ruoyeng asked with a smile. "Can this oak be used?"
Old West suddenly stood up, staring wildly at Xia Ruofei, and asked: "Summer, where did you get this oak?"
"I didn't say it? Friends sent me!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Old West patted his head and said, "Hey, I remember this sex! Summer, is there such an oak in your friends? How much I want!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "So, can these two oaks be used?"
"It's just that it works! It's the king of the oak!" Old West said excitedly. "Look at the fineness of the texture! Even the newest in the oak, the best Hungarian oak is not comparable to it!" Did you know that the tighter the texture, the less tannins will be released, which will make the wine more delicate! This is the best oak that can be met and not demanded!"
Old West was very excited and pointed to the two oaks. "And, I have heard it carefully. The smell of this oak is very unique and very charming. It has a feeling of being fascinating! I I can’t imagine how fascinating the wine would be if it were used to ferment our se!

Then, the old West looked at Xia Ruofei madly and asked: "Summer, tell me, is there any such oak in your friend?"
