Chapter 540: Picking Grapes
Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of my manor!
You have to hold the bottom, and then cut here...be sure not to cut it crookedly, and then put the cut piece into this box...do you understand? Standing under the vines in the vineyard, Aphra looked serious. He leaned close to Jiang Hai and told him the precautions. Before he knew it, August had finally passed. As time passed by September, more than 90% of the grapes in the manor had grown. As you are familiar with, today is also the first day of grape picking.
In total, Jiang Hai has stayed at home for almost ten days since he returned from Atlantic City.
He was not idle this week either. First he went to teach Jiujiu Fei, and then bought arowana. After the fish tank was delivered a few days ago, he set up the fish tank and spent another day on it, pressing the button to release the water and circulate it. Although the water was very pure. There was water in the groundwater, but Jiang Hai still followed his past habit in China and left it for five days before driving his F650 to pick up the arowana.
In fact, it is a bit redundant for Jiang Hai to release water for so many days, because in China, it needs to be released for more than four days, mainly because the drinking water in most domestic cities is basically water from water plants.
Bactericidal substances such as bleach are placed inside, which not only makes the water cooler, but also kills most of the bacteria in it.
So after the water arrives at each house, it needs to be boiled before drinking. If you raise fish, you also need to sleep for a while, because the chlorine in the water is very heavy. After the fish is put in, if it is some broken fish, it will adapt very well. Many fish died because of this.
But in the United States, Jiang Hai didn't know about other places, but in Winthrop, at his home, there was no need to do this.
Because the water lines in Jiang Hai's house were directly taken from the Appalachian Mountains. It is almost the same quality as the water of a certain domestic mountain spring brand. You can drink it directly without burning it. Of course, there will be some sediment and the like in it. Therefore, every household has installed a water purification net, a very fine water purification net to ensure that no residue will come through.
So this kind of water can actually be drunk directly by opening the tap. It has no chemicals or sediment.
But to be on the safe side, Jiang Hai filtered the fish for five days before taking it back.
The top of the fish tank. Directly connected to the second floor, there is a lid there, where Jiang Hai wants to pour the fish in.
Before pouring it in, Jiang Hai consumed four pieces of spiritual energy and injected the spiritual energy into the bodies of these fishes.
As for what these fish eat, they are small fish. This is also a common sense in China. When feeding arowana, you must feed it alive.
Although some people say that fish will lose their eyes in this way, Jiang Hai believes it. His aura is enough to help him.
As for the small fish caught, it’s very simple. There are plenty of them in the river. It’s not found in the river, but it’s still found in the sea.
So these guys don't have to worry about their food.
After two days of busy work, these fish finally settled down in Jiang Hai's home. When Jiang Hai finally felt like he wanted to relax a little, the grapes were ripe and he became the owner of the manor.
The most idle people in the manor, Jiang Hai and others were called over by Dulles-Gerald to help harvest grapes.
Uh... After hearing Aphra's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but let out a slightly embarrassed sigh. Because to be honest, she didn't listen carefully to what Aphra said just now. Because she was too close to him just now.
Not only could he smell the faint fragrance of Aphra, but the most important thing was. The body came into contact with Aphra's back.
After a gentle rub together, Jiang Hai, who had not driven meat for many days, couldn't help but feel a little...nervous.
What are you thinking about? If you think about it, I'll go find you tonight. At first, Aphra was stunned for a moment when Jiang Hai didn't respond, but then she felt something about Jiang Hai, her His face couldn't help but turn red all of a sudden.
If it were normal times, she would not be happy that Jiang Hai had such intentions for her, but not now.
It's not that she's shy, it's because these grapes were planted by them, so if they rot in the ground, she would be very distressed.
Ahem, you misunderstood, ah, cut it like this, right? I know... After hearing what Aphra said, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, then picked up a bunch of grapes and cut them. As soon as she finished cutting, she was slapped by Aphra.
Cut here, the roots here, instead of pruning the vine. Do you want it to grow grapes next year? You can't cut it here, cut it here! After hearing Aphra's words, Jiang Hai also smiled, To be honest, he really didn't know this, but after listening to what Aphra said, he scratched his head and started cutting seriously.
Teacher, you are tired, please take a rest. While Jiang Hai was cutting grapes seriously, O'Connor Murphy from a distance also smiled and came over with a large box of grapes and put it on the table where he was still cutting grapes. Dulles Gerald's side.
Hey, it's okay. Although he was covered in sweat now, Gerald waved his hand indifferently.
In fact, his previous physical condition was not as good as it is now. After all, he is getting older and has no serious illnesses in his body, but minor illnesses. But since arriving at Jiang Hai's manor, he drinks good water and eats spiritual food every day. , all ailments can be cured.
The excess spiritual energy can also slowly transform a person's body.
So even though Dulles Gerald is quite old, his physical fitness is really good.
This can't be harvested in one day. Teacher, you still need to prepare for brewing. Looking at Dulles Gerald's unyielding look, O'Connor Murphy here also smiled. He forcibly pulled him away from the bottom of the vine.
Okay, okay, but I really didn't expect that we could harvest so many grapes this year. Looking at the clusters of gem-like grapes in the garden in front of him, Dulles-Gerald looked satisfied. said.
Yeah, I didn't expect it either. After hearing his words, O'Connor Murphy also spoke seriously.
In fact, when grapes are first planted, all the nutrients of the grapes are concentrated on the vines during the first year of climbing. Therefore, the grapes will not bear grapes in the first year. They will bear a small amount in the second and third years, and then later in the year. It will be the peak season of grapes.
O'Connor and Dulles naturally knew this, and they came here just to make money for Jiang Hai. They could wait, but Jiang Hai couldn't wait, so what they bought was not new vines and grapes. In March At that time, they directly bought four-year-old grapevines and planted them. But according to their thinking, although they were old vines, they were newly planted after all.
It would be nice if the first year could be a little longer, but they didn't expect that Jiang Hai would be a treasure.
Just kidding, the grapes grown in the first year have already caught up with what other estates produce during the five or six years of peak production.
Not only the quantity is good, but the quality of the grapes is also very good. I was confused, aren't we growing Cabernet Sauvignon? Why is this so good? Shaking his head, O'Connor pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth. Here, the moment the grapes entered his mouth, the refreshing aroma, accompanied by the sweetness and sourness, went straight to his taste buds. Although he might not be able to bear it after eating too much, he had to admit that the taste was very good.
Not even worse than those grapes that can be sold.
It is precisely because of this that I am a little worried that it will be a little troublesome to remove the sugar. After hearing O'Connor's words, Dulles sighed, pinched a grape and put it in his mouth. , said while eating.
Grapes for winemaking are different from grapes for eating. The grapes for eating are very sweet, accompanied by sourness, and taste good.
The grapes used for winemaking are particularly sour, accompanied by a bit of astringency, which makes them taste unpalatable.
Anyone who has made wine knows that few people like to eat it.
But winemaking requires this kind of grape. The main purpose of red wine is to remove the sugar in it. This is also the difference between Chinese ancient wine making and foreign wine, but with Jiang Hai's spiritual transformation.
Now Jiang Hai’s grapes taste very good, which makes people feel a little embarrassed...
The grapes now are indeed Cabernet Sauvignon. They are very big, full, and delicious. However, no one knows what the taste of wine made from such grapes is, but now it can only be a dead horse. Live Horse Doctor, give it a try.
Okay, let's continue. According to Jiang's words, there must be a road for cars to reach the mountain and for boats to reach the bridge. It's useless for us to say it here. After harvesting the grapes, brew a batch and taste it. You'll know it after you taste it. Seeing that O'Connor also looked worried, Dulles smiled, although this was the first time he had encountered this situation after brewing red wine for decades.
But he knew that he couldn't panic now. Besides, Jiang Hai also told him that these grapes didn't taste good even if the wine was made.
Can it be sold? You must know that in the United States, the price of vegetables and fruits is not cheaper than meat. With this bumper harvest in the vineyard, he will not lose money by selling these grapes, and he can even make a small profit of several dozen. Ten thousand.
Of course, if it is made into wine, then it will really make money. And the most important thing is that Jiang Hai does not think that these grapes cannot be used to make wine. Everything will have to wait until it is brewed. There is nothing to worry about.
Before they knew it, the whole morning's picking time was over. Jiang Hai and the others had picked more than thirty boxes of grapes.
And these grapes actually only account for about one-tenth of the vineyard. It looks like they will be busy for a while before they get serious.
After eating at noon, because the weather outside was still a bit hot, no one went to pick grapes immediately.
Instead, he sat in the room, peeled the grapes off the vines, and threw the grapes into the large wooden barrels. According to Dulles-Gerald, this was traditional for him. Ancient brewing techniques, although a bit...disgusting? (To be continued.)
