Yunding Ranch

Chapter 364
As the host, Lu Li immediately stood up, took the initiative to greet him, and expressed his warm welcome, "Welcome to Yunding Ranch!" A bright smile appeared on his face, "Why didn't anyone tell me in advance? There is no guide You didn't find the wrong place? This is not an easy task."

Lu Li's first reaction was to hug, but then he realized that the group of British gentlemen in front of him didn't like hugs, so he stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Robinson, Raymond, and Mark respectively. Unexpectedly, he gave Lu Li a big hug, which seemed very warm.

"We did find the wrong place." Richard patted Lu Li's back cheerfully, complained to himself without hesitation, rolled his eyes, and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

Raymond who was standing next to him added, "Twice more." Sprinkling salt on the wound again, everyone's peripheral vision silently projected towards Robinson. It couldn't be more obvious - the culprit who went the wrong way is here.

Robinson was calm and composed, as if he didn't notice his eyes at all, and he put his hands behind his back in a contented manner, looking extremely leisurely and comfortable.However, the eyes that pretended to look at the garden but avoided direct contact with Lu Li, such small details still revealed his embarrassment.

Lu Kai burst out laughing, but instead of facing Robinson, he looked at Richard, "Fortunately, you were not chased by the shepherd dogs." It was as if the person who made the mistake was Richard, which made Robinson The embarrassment has been slightly alleviated.

Over Lu Li's shoulder, Richard glanced at the situation in the porch. Teddy was still concentrating on tearing up the documents, not even noticing that a stranger was coming, and there were clumps of wet paper scattered on the ground. , It looked so messy; on the rocking chair next to it, there was a laptop computer, and the documents that Lu Li had just casually put beside it.

"I hope we are not uninvited guests." Richard raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly.

Lu Li sensed Richard's gaze, and immediately reacted, "If you guys come 15 minutes earlier, I'm afraid I'll have to drive away the guests, but now..." The rest of the sentence didn't continue, but dragged on The ending sound, combined with the playful eyes, the meaning is clear enough.

"Instead of standing here and chatting, why don't you take us to see the vineyard first." Robinson spoke, and the rampant way of speaking still had a strong personal style, even a little unreasonable, "We didn't come here to Appreciate the ranch. Ranches in Texas, they're all the same."

But this kind of frankness, with a little bit of thorns, will not make people disgusted. Naturally, there is a kind of innocence and romance, as if... It's like the private tour of the young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, but there is a sense of joy.

"Vineyards in every part of the world are the same, nothing more than vines and grape trellises." Raymond said calmly, and Robinson choked immediately, "What's more, it's almost winter now There is nothing to admire in the vineyard."

That expression of course made Robinson stunned for a while, but Raymond didn't notice it at all, and his face still had the serious look of "discussing the matter as it stands".

It was very hard for Lu Li to hold back his laughter. He knew that if he laughed out loud at this moment, it would be too rude.But Robinson and Raymond's back and forth are like a cross talk duo, and the laughter is extraordinary.But, who is the fan and who is the joker?
"The scenery in every corner of the world is similar, but they are also different. The ones who have the power to decide are the eyes and the attitude to watch. The scenery is the same, and the life is also the same." Lu Li held back his smile, He said solemnly, and then took the initiative to step forward and lead the way, "Since I have come to our ranch, it is my mission to meet the needs of the guests."

Raymond and Robinson stood there, staring; for a moment Richard didn't know whether to laugh or pretend nothing had happened.Only Mark chuckled lightly, took a quick step, followed Lu Li, and walked forward.

"This is a beech forest, right?" Mark still had the taciturn style. After meeting, this was his first sentence. He didn't even say hello before, but the content was confusing.

Lu Li followed Mark's line of sight and looked over. The tall and thin beech forest on the right had the coolness and tranquility of autumn. Different from the rush of spring, the irritability of summer and the silence of winter, the beech forest in autumn had a special The temperament, as if the naked eye can see the track of the breeze sliding by, dragging out a long tail.

"Yes." Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "Why, do you have research on trees?"

Mark twitched the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and said, but he didn't answer the question, "Did you know that beech wood in France is famous, and many vineyard producing areas also have a large amount of beech wood. During the harvest season in summer, standing on the grapevine On the ridge of the garden, as far as the eye can see, there are large areas of beech at the end of the horizon. Burgundy is no exception."

Lu Li carefully recalled the memories of his previous visit to Burgundy, and those blurred images gradually became clearer. He never expected that the Yunding Ranch actually had a landform and climate similar to Burgundy.

It seems that when Jack and Liz were running the ranch, wine could become their main source of income, not without reason.Now, under the catalysis of the space spring water, the wines of Yunding Ranch have the qualifications to be among the top.This is information that Lu Li did not expect, or that he ignored as a layman.

"But this is not Burgundy." Lu Li said with a smile, not being overwhelmed by joy.

Mark nodded in affirmation, "This is indeed not Burgundy."

He stopped, turned around, and looked along the row of neat and tall beeches. At the end was a calm lake. The refraction of the light made the lake look green and green, and the dense water vapor lingered on the lake. , like a fairyland.

"There are no oak trees in Burgundy." The smile on the corner of Mark's mouth slightly raised, then he pointed to the forest on the other side of the lake, and asked, "Also, is there a piece of Metasequoia over there?"

"It seems that you have a lot of knowledge about trees." Lu Li expressed his affirmation.

Previously, Lu Li planned to plant a bamboo forest along the lake, a bamboo forest with Chinese characteristics.However, after asking for professional advice, Lu Li gave up on this idea, and finally chose a species that is closer to the North American style but also integrated with the style of Chinese landscape painting, Metasequoia.

Metasequoia is a living fossil tree species and also an ornamental tree species for autumn leaves. It has a beautiful temperament, is quiet and quiet, and likes a humid environment. It grows slowly but has a long vitality. Planting around the waterside softens the roughness of oak and refines the coldness of beech. , adding a touch of magnificence and charm like ink painting to the whole ranch.

"This is the difference between Yunding Ranch and other wine producing areas." Mark didn't explain too much, but the simple and clear sentence seemed to have a lot of meaning.

Lu Li's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but smile.

Regarding the flavor of the wine, Lu Li did not study it in depth, he just took it for granted that the spatial spring water played a decisive role.

But here is the problem, the land is the same land, the climate is the same climate, and even the environment has not changed much. Although the space spring is magical, it is not magic that can turn decay into magic, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing.Just like the vegetables in an organic farm, the spatial spring water has not changed their genetic arrangement, but has been optimized, and the vineyard must be the same.

So, why in the past, the wines of Beech Ranch can only be said to be good, but the wines of Yunding Ranch can be said to be top-notch?

Now it seems that the spatial spring water is just a catalyst, fully exerting the potential of the land's minerals, wild birds, plants, and water vapor, which makes such an outstanding wine—at least from the perspective of potential, yes Possessed to be top-notch.

The difference between the Beech Ranch and the Yunding Ranch is not only that Lu Li has the space spring, but also that Lu Li has drastically reformed the entire ranch.The natural factors that affect the quality of finished wine are intricate. Climate, environment, biological chain, etc., may all create wines of completely different quality.The two pastures established on the same piece of land are now very different.

Of course, all of this is just Lu Li's own guess - based on Mark's guess, as to how true and accurate it is, this is unknown.Anyway, Lu Li would never reveal the secret of the space spring to the public. All possibilities will remain at the stage of speculation or theory forever.

Lu Li stopped and looked at the ranch again. In just one year, the ranch has undergone tremendous changes. Except for the lavender field in the corner, everything is completely different from when he first arrived. .This is Yunding Ranch, which belongs to him.

"I saw the flock of sheep and cattle just now. I heard from Richard that you still have horses." Mark's voice came from the front, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts. He hurriedly followed and talked to Mark again. They walked side by side and chatted, "Where do you usually herd, is it far from the vineyard?"

In Burgundy, it is a pure wine-producing area, except for the vineyards, it is the vineyards, so it is naturally impossible to be as diverse as the Yunding Ranch.Mark is carefully looking at every detail of the ranch, trying to find out the secret of Yunding Winery.

Lu Li could sense Mark's intentions, but he didn't seem flustered at all. He believed that no one could guess the secret deep in his heart, "When it comes to grazing, we didn't delineate a fixed area. They all need to be restocked..."
