How to Save a Failed Farm

They eat with the construction workers at noon every day. Because they are too busy, Lance asks Mrs. Joseph to come and help them prepare lunch. Farming and building houses are very labor-intensive things. Their food is mainly chicken and beef with high protein .Despite this, Ye Qun still lost weight visibly, but he felt healthier and more energetic than before.

Old Parker was indeed a very experienced old construction worker. He even made up for some design deficiencies, meticulous in every detail, and promised them that if there were any problems, he could unconditionally rework within one year.

The newly built winery is located in the vast grape fields and is divided into two buildings. The front is for guests to watch and taste wine, and the back is the place for wine making, which are connected by an underground tunnel.

They discovered it in time, and filled the place damaged by Brand's two sons again, and the growth of grapes was not affected in the slightest.In May, it is already lush and green, and the eyes are full of pleasing green.

They didn't deliberately pay attention to the movements of the Brand family, but Eric Richard called: "Have you heard?"

The remote location of Hunter Farms, with the nearest neighbors all 200 yards away, would lead a life of isolation if not to town.

"what happened?"

"Bland's honey was reported as adulterated." Eli and Jesse's mother is a typical midwestern housewife. Although the farms are not close to each other, they have a circle of their own, so there is always First hand news.

"They seem to be cooperating with a manufacturer, the kind they want to sell to the city, and people from the Food Administration have come." Ai Li said happily, "It's a good thing you didn't cooperate with them at that time."

The Bland family moved away immediately after the accident. Cheating was absolutely intolerable behavior in this simple town. It won't take long for this incident to spread throughout the town.Ye Qun could more or less guess the reason for their desperation, but he couldn't understand it at all.

The life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is carefree and calm. The only episode is that the sandwich was pricked by the weed seeds scattered all over the summer. Lance had to take it to the veterinarian. For a few days, it couldn't jump up and down as usual, so it could only shrink in its nest and mourn its injuries.

In June, the town sent people, and Ye Qun and Lance led them to sightseeing in the grape fields.They caught up with a good time. An investor plans to build a resort in the town. Several farms are being converted into tourist-oriented ones. Their vineyards are regarded as the number one target of this series of linkage plans to open up the market. .

They were promised to reduce taxes, and they also got a recommendation letter for the autumn reception, which is undoubtedly very crucial for them to take the first step. If they can be favored at the reception, there will be a steady stream of follow-up customers.

Time turns to early autumn, and the golden fields are filled with the sweet fragrance of corn.It is another busy season, and Ye Qun is nervously preparing for the soon-to-be harvesting season.

He gets up at four or five o'clock every day to test the sugar and acidity indicators of the grapes.Both Jesse and Allie came to help during the harvest, and Ye Qun felt a strange sense of satisfaction watching the corn gradually fill up the barn. "The Joy of the Harvest".

The farm was busier than ever during this time, with temporary laborers coming and going on the land that used to be home to just the two of them and a herd of livestock.

Although Ye Qun only kept half of the grapes for wine making this year, and the other half was directly sent to the exchange after harvesting, but it is not easy to make wine from the half of the [-] acres of grapes.The first thing to do every day during winemaking is "capping", as well as the packaging stage after winemaking requires a lot of manpower.

Ye Qun strictly supervises them and provides technical guidance. He is familiar with every step of the grape-making process. It is a pity that Hunter Farm does not have experimental equipment, otherwise he can control the acidity and sweetness more effectively.Now he can only rely on experience.Fortunately, the comfortable and sweet life did not make his brain into a ball of cotton candy, and the first batch of wines made him very satisfied in terms of taste, aroma and taste.

Every 300 gallons of wine can produce 1 gallon of grape seed oil. Leaf Group did not waste the remaining grape seeds in winemaking. Lance rented two presses to squeeze them all into oil.Once the living standards of most people go up, they will start to pursue those indicators such as less pollution and pure nature after breaking away from the food and clothing line.Grapeseed oil has a lot of health benefits, so it has been gaining popularity in recent years.

But until the reception, no one would have noticed a small farm in a remote Texas town.Ye Qun can only rely on network marketing.

Before the harvest season, he often posted pictures of the farm on ins. It is not an exaggeration to describe the Hunter Farm in the early summer as picturesque. In the quiet and green fields, bellflowers and wild flowers can be seen everywhere. and tangled berries present a thriving lush scene.

He also posted two photos of Lance from time to time, such as him fishing and herding cattle, which had an immediate effect on the speed of increasing fans.Lance protested unhappily: "How can you use my, my... face to attract fans!"

"A young and handsome farmer, how romantic." Ye Qun directed casually, "Put your hands down, yes, that's the pose, very handsome."

Lance aggrievedly asked him to take a picture, puffing up his face and looking extremely aggrieved.As soon as Ye Qun finished filming, he immediately threw him to the ground, asking for his "portrait right".

Relying on Lance's beauty, their ins account gradually gained a huge fan base. Ye Qun has always kept it secret, only revealing that they live in Texas.When the first batch of grapeseed oil was packaged, Ye Qun organized a lottery to thank fans for their continuous support, which quickly aroused enthusiastic responses.Ye Qun took advantage of the opportunity to launch their winery. Although the United States is so big, netizens may not really come to it, but at least it can open up a little popularity.

The effect was better than Ye Qun expected.People came over one after another, and they simply put a long table in the grape field, so that the guests who came from afar could really get close to nature.

"It would be perfect if I could live here for a day or two." When some customers said this, Ye Qun would recommend them to go to a nearby sightseeing farm. They don't plan to open the farm to provide accommodation, and live in a building with strangers The feeling is not always so good.However, under the linkage plan, several families have remodeled their guest rooms to entertain guests, and the price charged is similar to that of a homestay.

It can be foreseen that the winery will really develop in the future, and a perfect cycle will be formed, which will drive the income of the entire town. After tasting wine in the vineyard, the guests can drive for ten minutes to have a place to stay and eat , You can also continue to experience rural life in a sightseeing farm.

In November, the new wine has been settled for a period of time, and the annual autumn wine party is held in Arizona.Ye Qun and Lance had to leave the farm for two days. Fortunately, November has entered the slack season and there is nothing important to do.

Most of the wine merchants participating in this kind of local wine party are also small wineries like them.These champagne or grape purple wines are packed in glass bottles and printed with distinctive trademarks.After the show, they were not in a hurry to leave. In fact, everyone's level was about the same. The only difference was experience, and the meaning of communication was more important than appreciation.

Ye Qun communicated with wine merchants in a very humble manner.Lance stood beside him, wearing a suit and tie, and kept a decent smile under the threat of Ye Qun. He was handsome and upright, as long as he didn't smile with two rows of big white teeth, he still looked really personable the taste of.

Ye Qun had participated in this kind of reception many times before, and he handled it with ease, saying a few beautiful polite words from time to time.Lance's face froze from laughing, and he felt dizzy after a while, and slipped out quietly among the guests.

When it was almost over, Ye Qun said goodbye to the wine merchants and exchanged business cards.He walked out of the villa, but he didn't see Lance anywhere. Ye Qun walked slowly to the beach, opened his neckline to let the cool breeze cool down his body temperature due to alcohol, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Hey! Sweetheart!" Lance's voice suddenly sounded, Ye Qun was startled, and he was even more surprised when he saw Lance sitting in the speedboat, "Where did you get it?"

Lance didn't answer the question, he patted the seat beside him: "Would you like to go for a drive?"

Ye Qun simply tore off his tie and threw it on the speedboat, and lay down lazily: "How is your speedboat driving skills? It's better to be steady, I'm a little dizzy now."

What responded to him was a violent shaking when the engine started. Ye Qun pressed his stomach and glared at him uncomfortably. Lance could only smile and point in one direction: "There is a small island over there."

Lance drove the speedboat to the shore of the island, and Ye Qun stepped on the soft sand wearing leather shoes.This is not a deserted island, there are even benches and flower beds on it, it is a small park floating in the sea.

Ye Qun took off the suit jacket that bound him and sat on the bench, the sound of the waves beating became more and more clear in his eardrums, and the moonlight surged like the tide.

Lance sat next to him, and for a moment they just looked up at the stars in silence, the sound of quiet breathing in their ears.

"Do you know what day it is?" Lance asked softly, leaning closer to him.

"Huh? Is it a festival similar to the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought?" Ye Qun pretended to be silly.

Lance looked like a puppy that had been kicked in the stomach, with disappointment written all over his face, and he was unwilling: "You really don't remember?"

"Okay," Ye Qun wrapped his arms around his neck with a smile, "Of course I remember, today is the first anniversary of our meeting."

Lance laughed: "I always feel like we've been together for a long time."

"Are you implying that you are tired of this relationship?" Ye Qun joked.

"Of course not! I just never thought that happiness could come so quickly." Lance had a happy smirk on his face.

"Yeah, a year ago at this time I was still worrying about when I was going to die."

"It's all over," Lance gently hugged his shoulders, "On the bright side, this is the opportunity for us to meet."

"Indeed, if it wasn't because I thought I was going to die, I wouldn't—" Ye Qun abruptly stopped talking.

Lance asked persistently, "Nothing?"

"—to sleep with you, I've lived for 30 years and thought I was a straight man." Ye Qun sighed, and Lance snorted in a rare way, grabbed his hand and held it, and said forcefully. "It's too late for you to regret it now, I have been bent by you, and I can't return it."
