Global Food Tour

Chapter 392 Hanging out!
Then you may ask, is the wine made from grapes stepped on by feet clean and hygienic?In fact, there is no need to worry about this at all. The alcohol produced by grape fermentation can basically kill most fungi and spoilage bacteria, and the foot step method is generally used in fortified wine. 70% brandy will be added to fortified wine. It has a bactericidal effect in itself.So there is no need to worry about athlete's foot, foot odor, and various bacterial problems.

Moreover, there is also a saying that the grapes trampled on are broken more evenly, so the brewed wine will be more delicious, so there is such a line in the movie "Glass Bottle", "This is the red wine of 82", "Zhang Feng can drink it, and the people who step on grapes haven't washed their feet yet."

In today's mechanized age, of course, it is no longer necessary to make wine by stepping on it, but this method has been preserved and has become a very distinctive activity during the Grape Festival.

Zhang Feng participated in this activity with a few friends who came here together. Zhang Feng and the six of them were divided into two groups. Each person stepped on for 1 minute. The winner is judged by the amount of juice, and the winner of that group can get a special T-shirt of the Grape Festival.

An old man helped Zhang Feng and the others measure the amount of grape juice with an instrument and acted as a referee.

In the end, Zhang Feng and his group defeated the other two groups with a final score of 1.8L and 1.6L, and won the final reward. Of course, there must be a big group photo in the end. The large glass of grape juice that Zhang Feng won was held in his hand. Zhang Feng was wondering what would it taste like if he used this generation to make wine?It must be very delicious.

After stepping on the grapes, it was almost time for Zhang Feng and the others to shoot the gun, so Zhang Feng and the others came to the previous practice ground, and finally arrived at the long-awaited session.

Before the actual shooting, Zhang Feng and the others visited the store first. There were some crocodile skins and antelope heads hanging on the wall here. At first, Zhang Feng thought that these were just handicrafts for decoration, but the people in the store told Zhang Feng, these are the prey they hunted with guns, and then they found craftsmen to make them into what they are today. They can not only be used as decorations, but also a symbol of honor.

In fact, Zhang Feng knows a lot about firearms, especially during the trip to Somaliland. In addition to being able to distinguish some classic firearms, he also knows a lot of uncommon firearms, including the bullets they use. Zhang Feng probably knows them. What kind of bullet.

Then after the visit, it was time for Zhang Feng's long-awaited shooting session. Since Zhang Feng had shot a gun before, he didn't have a special coach to guide him, so he just started to watch it. know knowledge.

From the coach, Zhang Feng learned a lot about the key points of shooting. For example, due to the certain shock force of shooting, first of all, your physical fitness must be excellent, otherwise it is easy to be hit by the shock force; and there is another more important point. It is the principle of "three points and one line", that is to say, if the gun is straight, then the two points on the gun have formed a straight line. If the bullet runs in a straight line, then it will hit the extension of the straight line of the gun superior.But in fact, after the bullet is ejected from the chamber, it runs in a falling parabola, but the front sight has been calibrated in advance, and the error compensation amount of this parabola is estimated.So strictly speaking, when aiming, the muzzle is aimed at a certain position above the target.It’s just that the front sight is aimed at the target; the most important point is that you must calm down and don’t get too excited before pulling the trigger. This is a very important point.

Another point that must be reminded is that if you go to a gun practice shop to practice shooting, then remember not to practice shooting the day before returning to your country, because if you shoot before returning to your country, no matter how you wash your hands, you will go through security checks when you return to your country At that time, the security check machine will sound the alarm sound of suspected explosives.Of course, if you don’t have enough time and you shot a gun the day before you return to China, then you must remember to get a business card from their gun practice shop, so that when you go through the security check and the alarm sounds, you can get it Take out this business card and tell the security checker that you practiced shooting here the day before, and then they will verify it through the phone number on the business card. After confirmation, you can pass safely.

After shooting, Zhang Feng and the others returned to Main St in Grapevine City, where the afternoon activities were held.

The organizer gave Zhang Feng their tickets, which can be used to buy food and gifts here. One ticket represents 50 cents. Zhang Feng first bought food with these tickets.Seeing that Zhang Feng, who sells dumplings, bought dumplings without hesitation, he wanted to taste the taste of the dumplings here, but Zhang Feng was greatly disappointed. The dumplings cost Zhang Feng $16 and there were only 4 dumplings. Not only is it expensive, but it is also particularly unpalatable, which makes Zhang Feng miss the delicious food in China very much.

After hastily eating, the atmosphere on the main street has gradually warmed up. There are quite a lot of interestingly dressed characters and performances held here.

Of course, the wine festival is inseparable from wine tasting, and there is a very special wine tasting event called people's choice, that is, people's choice.In this event, thousands of wines will be launched for people to taste at once. Anyone who participates in the event can come here to participate in this event.The organizer will give everyone who participates in this wine tasting a selection form. After tasting several wines, you can choose the one you like, and then the organizer will use a table to count and select the most popular wines.

Tickets are required to participate in this event, the price is about 25 US dollars per person, there will be 6 sessions per day, each time is about one and a half hours, and 750 people are allowed to enter each time, and you can taste it arbitrarily after entering Although the price of wine is slightly higher, it is very popular with people who come here, and many people sign up for this event every day.

Although Zhang Feng is not good at drinking, he still has some power in wine tasting, but he can still feel the warm atmosphere here. Everyone is fully committed to it, actively participates in voting, and enjoys the fun.

When I went back, I took some pictures of the street scenes and other activities related to the Grape Festival. They were quite lively. In the end, I met a baby who was two or three weeks old. A newborn baby will not be taken out of the house for a month or two. Even if it is brought out, it will be carefully cared for, always worried, afraid that the baby will have an accident if it is not careful, but it is really good in the United States. I admire their open-minded attitude.
