Yunding Ranch

Chapter 317 Grape Harvest
In the early morning, you can hear the chirping of birds outside the window, the twittering is so lively, the sunshine fills the whole room, and the cold night quietly dissipates without a trace. It seems that it has never really come to this land.

Lu Li turned over and saw a fluffy butt. He didn't react at first, and he was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had already returned to the ranch. The little guy lying on the pillow was naturally Ba base.

Lu Li raised his hand and stroked Bucky's soft hair, and then heard Bucky yelled "meow", then rubbed his head against Lu Li's cheek, this intimate and coquettish appearance made Lu Li burst out laughing, " Could it be that you were abused by Cole during the time I was away? Now that I finally know I'm fine, so come here to curry favor with me?"

Bucky, who is usually always arrogant, has become a clingy little monster from yesterday afternoon to today, even following Teddy more closely, which really made Lu Li dumbfounded.

After teasing Bucky a little, Lu Li turned over and got up, went to the window sill, pushed open the window, took a deep breath, the refreshing oxygen factor stirred in the lungs, and the endless green spread out from under the feet, like The waves of the ocean are ordinary and magnificent, and there is a kind of heroic spirit pointing to the mountains and rivers, and the whole person is refreshed.

Even if it is the same green, it still has different levels and contents, so that people can distinguish clearly, where is the grassland, where is the beech forest, where is the forest, and where is the organic farm...

Unexpectedly, after the corn field of the organic farm has been harvested, it has not been sown yet, and large bundles of corn stalks are placed next to the field and are not directly transported away. The barren scene does not look as expected Vigorous and vigorous, it seems that there is no rush to sow seeds.

Last night, Randy briefly communicated with Lu Li about the progress of the organic farm.

At the end of August, after all the corn was harvested, Randy was not in a hurry to start a new round of cultivation immediately, but first applied green manure to raise the land; last week, Randy just started to install irrigation equipment and insect repellent equipment All installed; next, after the harvest of the vineyard is over, he will start to expand the organic farm.

Not far from the organic farm, the vineyards can easily be seen. The turquoise carpet extends along the direction of the stream towards the far end; the lush grape racks are neat and orderly The turquoise and dark brown interlaced gullies are neat and uniform like thousands of teams waiting for a military parade; the endless green waves roar towards the forest.

This made Lu Li stunned. Shouldn't Pinot Noir be purple?But the vineyard in front of me is a piece of fresh green, almost without any variegated colors, which is too abnormal!

The reason why red wine is red is because the red pigment is squeezed out when the wine is pressed, which makes the wine appear red; while white wine is made from green grapes.In this way, Pinot Noir should be purple.

At least that's what Lu Li thought, or did he remember wrongly?
At this moment, a breeze blew by, and the whole green area began to cheer, swaying and rejoicing, even the streams and forests began to echo each other, and the world instantly became noisy, overflowing with rich vitality, as if The good season of harvest was calling; and then the green swayed like a wave of wheat, revealing the purple hidden beneath the leaves.

The dull purple is mellow and stable. Because the distance is too far, the purple has a layer of dark red under the golden sunlight, which has an indescribable charm, mixed in the large expanses of green, like a ray of light piercing through it. As if seeping through the darkness, it is beautiful and moving, wonderful.

Occasionally, some bees and butterflies can be seen flying on the waves, jumping lightly, as if stepping on the strings of the sun, playing a piece of classical music of nature, quiet and far-reaching, but lively.

Just such a scene, without any extra embellishments, the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth lifted, overflowing with happiness.

Sure enough, autumn is the most gratifying season.Because, this is the harvest season.

Over the next few months, the ranch will be so busy that there is not even room to breathe - first the vineyards, then the organic farms, while the horses are mated; more importantly, winter will follow , All work plans should also be adjusted accordingly.

Every day is busy, every day is full, and every day is precious.A bumper harvest not only means the harvest, but also means that the hard work has finally come to the test. Just thinking about it in your mind makes you excited.

Today, the vineyards took the lead and it was time to harvest the grapes.

This will not only be the first batch of large-scale products harvested by Yunding Ranch, but also the first batch of wine brewed by Yunding Ranch.After being busy for half a year, it finally came to this season.

Objectively speaking, the first batch of wine was highly experimental, and no one can say for sure how the quality of grapes in the four batches differed. For everyone, this was the first time; Due to the limitation of fermentation and precipitation time, the taste and taste of new wine are bound to be affected, and it is impossible to make an accurate judgment in a short time.

Still, it's full of expectations.

At this moment, Lu Li couldn't help but began to rub his hands together, stretched his body, turned around and went to wash up first, then changed into a set of light clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

It was only just over six o'clock at this time, and the sun barely climbed to the edge of the mountain, and it was still a long way from Zhengtou, but the lobby on the first floor of the main house was already very lively.

Everyone was chatting bustlingly, some were eating in the restaurant, some were carrying sandwiches across the hall, some were lingering at the door of the kitchen, some were sitting on the sofa in the hall drinking coffee, and some were wearing work suits beside them...

Seeing Lu Li coming down the stairs, everyone greeted each other. When they saw a few unfamiliar faces, they also took the initiative to introduce themselves, "You are Fourteen, right? I'm Morgan."

Morgan is a tall and burly middle-aged man who looks about 45 years old, with a messy beard and a simple and honest smile on his face, warm and kind, and then he pointed to several other people, "This It's David. Then, the one in the restaurant drinking beer, it's Lincoln, don't worry, he only drank one can, which is good for work. If there are more, you can directly deduct his salary."

"The one standing at the door of the refrigerator is Benjamin. He ate a piece of corn just now and said it was very delicious. Then he got Cole's permission and is looking through your refrigerator."

With a few simple words, the images of several people suddenly became vivid, and the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth also rose, "Welcome to Yunding Ranch." These four people should be invited by Cole to help harvest together Putao, "Did you rush over this morning?"

"No, we came to Texas yesterday and settled down in Austin." Morgan said bluntly, "It's a rare time to leave home, without the control of the other half, and we don't need to work for the time being. We had a good carnival. Today I drove here directly in the morning."

Lu Li showed a knowing smile and nodded, "After work is over, we can have another carnival before going home."

This made Morgan laugh heartily, and David couldn't help but smile too.

Lu Li turned around, ate his breakfast in a leisurely manner, and drank a large glass of milk before leaving the main house with most of them, heading towards the vineyard.

Early in the morning, the power of the sun has not yet burst out, and it is not hot, but it is warm and sprinkled on the body, which makes it more comfortable.A group of people walked forward talking and laughing. Except for Brandon who was taking care of the horses, everyone else came to help, even Justin, Edward and Sean who were idle came over.

The cheerful and lively atmosphere didn't look like they were here for work, but more like they were on their way to an autumn outing.A group of people crossed the creek, and the vineyard was not far away.

Last night, Lu Li planned to take a closer look at the vineyards, but after dinner, he was too full and didn't want to take such a long walk, and riding a horse was too bumpy, so he had to give up.Now that he finally had the chance, Lu Li immediately ran forward and looked at it curiously.

The plump and small grapes are piled up together, and the crystal clear color looks like a matte purple emerald, covered with a layer of tiny dewdrops, which makes the grapes look even more pleasant.Before he could react consciously, he raised his right hand, stretched it out cautiously, touched it, and then saw the dew disappear on his fingertips, which shocked Lu Li.

After a while, I realized that it was space spring water.He hadn't collected dewdrops for a while, and he almost forgot.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, he was really surprised.

Shaking his head helplessly, he lifted the bunch of grapes again, the sunlight penetrated the bunch of grapes and sprinkled down. After the rich purple reached the extreme, a light bright purple appeared, which was penetrating and clear, like a pool of spring water. .

These grapes are so cute, words can't describe them, they look no different from edible grapes, Lu Li couldn't help swallowing, trying to imagine what the grapes should taste like The taste, sour and astringent as you can imagine, not only does not make people shrink back, but it makes people more greedy.

At this moment, Tony's loud voice came from my ears, "Attention everyone, don't get so close like this gentleman, and don't pick the grapes and throw them in your mouth. These grapes are not edible .”

Lu Li's head was covered with black lines, he stood up straight, carefully loosened the grapes, and glanced at Tony speechlessly.
