Chapter 154 Grape picking
After some equipment was installed and placed, Li Hong did not leave the manor and proposed to stay and help Cen Jiahua make wine.
Cen Jiahua naturally wanted such a request. His original plan was to recruit a winemaking technician to guide him. Now, with a person like Li Hong who has winemaking experience in a foreign wine estate, who has winemaking experience, Cen Jiahua took the initiative to help, so he was too late to be happy, so how could he push it out?
In this way, Li Hong lived in Zhiyuan Villa and started a wonderful time. As for his shop in the provincial capital, he threw it to his family to help manage it. After all, his purpose of opening a store is only for his own hobbies, which is purely due to his interests.
He is already in a semi-retired state and his desire for money is not so strong. For Li Hong now, a leisurely and pleasant life is what he wants most.
After a long time of contact with Li Hong, Cen Jiahua gradually developed an intuitive concept of wine brewing and management, which made him feel that this is a very worthy of learning.
Cen Jiahua originally took a pretentious attitude towards brewing wine, but now he has gradually entered the state. The more he knows, the more frightened Cen Jiahua feels in his heart, and he strengthens his belief in taking the wine industry as a good person.
People always make progress through continuous learning, and Cen Jiahua is no exception.
At the manor: On the station, the announcement of picking grapes to make wine has been on it for a while, and has received responses from a lot of tourists, saying that they would come to support the event when the picking event starts. Because the vineyard's production is limited this year, Cen Jiahua had to limit the number of people participating in the picking event, so there were still many people and few porridge. It still had to be planned in detail to avoid chaos.
This weekend, the autumn is clear and cloudless, and the warm sunshine shines on people, which is really a pleasant thing. Early in the morning, guests gathered in the willow forest, waiting to receive the characteristic bamboo baskets used for grape picking.
This time, tourists invited to participate in the event were originally regular customers. It was free to pick grapes when staying in, and it was also a large-scale feedback action for the manor. For tourists, they can pick grapes and make wine by themselves, and all the expenses are not required, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of tourists. They came to the manor last night.
Many tourists from familiar places are waiting to receive bamboo baskets. They usually chat. The scene looks very lively. Some tourists come to the manor more often and get to know some of them with the same hobbies. Over time, people become good friends. So the manor becomes a good dating platform. Cen Jiahua unexpectedly expected this result.
After receiving bamboo baskets and special bamboo cutters, Cen Jiahua explained some precautions. The tourists began to walk towards the vineyard area in groups of three or three. Most of the tourists were traveling with their families. The whole family was very happy and lively.
The consumption level of manor land is relatively high. People who can often come to manor resorts are generally so-called successful people. Most of them are around thirty years old. Occasionally, there are some young couples. However, the number is not large, which is not the mainstream of manor tourist land.
Under such circumstances, there are no fewer people with family members. A huge group of people walked past the dam and headed towards the vineyard.
Today, Cen Jiahuadi's brothers and sisters all brought their families to join in the fun, so it is rare to have such an opportunity. The first year of the manor's production grape harvest. If there is no family participation, wouldn't it be a bit of a flaw?
Cen Yi and a few boys were playing in the crowd. The simple laughter sounded over the dam and shocked a flock of pigeons. This added a lot of vitality to the manor in the early morning.
Lulu was extremely well-behaved and ran away wildly, but walked slowly behind Doudou with his little dweller. Under Cen Jiahua's instructions, Xiaoguai could know who could get close to him, but in just a few times he had become good friends with Lulu.
Xiaogui's fluffy tail swept across Lulu's face from time to time, making Lulu laugh "giggle" and a silver bell-like laugh spread throughout the manor.
After arriving at the vineyard, tourists took their families, carried baskets, and according to the place they had chosen, got into the grape trellis and started picking activities.
The grape shelf, which is nearly two meters, is like a green wall, dividing the entire vineyard into different spaces of various sizes. After nearly a hundred families scattered into more than 300 acres of vineyards, they were thrown into the sea, which seemed a little sparse. The tall grape shelf blocked everyone's sight, and people could no longer see each other, and could only hear bursts of laughter and joy from time to time.
For most people living in the city, this kind of scene of everyone working together is really rare. While everyone is picking bunches of purple grapes like agate, they can chat with their family and friends. This feeling is so relaxed and pleasant.
If you are in the city, you will be filled with cold faces and busy figures, and some even live opposite each other for a long time, but you will not be able to call your neighbor's name. However, after you arrive at the manor, most tourists will be able to put down their figures and masks quickly, and become enthusiastic.
Here, people have regained their long-lost innocence and speed
It is their biggest gain for vacation in the manor.
Some greedy children couldn't help but tempt the grapes, and quietly picked a grape and put them in their mouths. Only then did they realize that although these grapes had a beautiful appearance, they actually didn't taste good. Although these grapes tasted very sweet, the whole flesh was dry and not as watery as the grapes bought in the fruit shop and had the right sweetness.
In the winemaking industry, there is a saying that is widely circulated - "Delicious grapes are not made into wine." The varieties of vermicelli used in these wines are small in granules, less moisture and less fiber, and are not suitable for raw food.
Many families of three have clear division of labor. The father takes the special bamboo scissors to cut off the grape bunches, and the child takes the grape bunches and puts them into the bamboo basket. The mother carries the basket behind her. The efficiency is really high when she starts to move. After all, picking grapes is not a technical work that does not require too much physical strength, and most people can still do it.
This year, the vineyards are the first year after transplanting, so there are not many grape bunches hanging on the grape trellis. Therefore, many families have walked for a long distance with baskets, and the bamboo baskets are not full. The purple grape bunches are still very eye-catching under the shade of green, which allows tourists to spend too much effort to find the location of the grape bunches.
There were many birds gathered near the vineyards. They were all envious of these attractive grapes. But due to the crowded scene, and the goshawks that were hovering over the vineyards from time to time, they could only shout unwillingly in the forest.
However, the song of these birds makes the entire vineyard more lively, and the noisy sounds intersect together to compose a moving lyrics of joy of harvest.
In this way, on the early morning of autumn, a group of people in the city enjoyed the warm sunshine while enjoying the joy of labor.
Cen Jiahua did not go to the vineyard to join in the fun today, but was doing preparations before making wine under the guidance of Li Hong. After all, tourists will immediately take various measures after picking the grapes back and as soon as possible.
All instruments need to be cleaned and then dried before they can be used. After all, in the process of brewing wine, the requirements for impurities and moisture are very high. Once there is a mistake, the quality of the wine may be greatly affected, so strict control is needed from the beginning.
As for the scissors used for picking grapes, in order to avoid the impact of iron tools on grapes, Jiahua even asked Uncle Wang San to specially make a batch of bamboo scissors.
The details are a key to success, just like the famous management saying: "Details determine success or failure."
The more he learned about wine, the more Cen Jiahua felt that the wine industry itself was an industry that focused on details. Therefore, Cen Jiahua also repeatedly pondered the various possible situations to improve the brewing plan itself.
After a while, some families started to pick bamboo baskets and walked towards the winery. Each family had two bamboo baskets, and it was not so hard for adults to lift each basket with 30 kilograms of grapes.
Those oil bottles were walking behind with a bunch of grapes, and they were very happy to eat them while walking. Although these grapes are not suitable for raw food, they are sweet and make the children feel happy, not to mention that most children pick the grapes in their hands themselves?
After coming to the open space in front of the winery, Cen Jiahua began to arrange for the families who came back to start stewing the grapes and selecting those grapes that are not very good.
If you keep grape stems for making wine, the wine will have a bitter taste and will seriously affect the round texture of the wine. As for those rotten and green fruit grains, they will reduce the variety of wine, so they must be selected before the skin is broken.
After selecting the grape grains, you can immediately enter the skin breaker to squeeze them, so that the grapes can be broken for the next step of fermentation. There is a natural mother on the grape skin, which is one of the most important factors in the process of the grapes. Therefore, generally, when the grapes do not have too much dirt or pollution, the grape grains do not need to be rinsed.
Li Hong taught Cen Jiahua step by step. When he read online information, he always felt that he had only a little understanding, but he didn't know why. Now with such a famous teacher's guidance, Cen Jiahua suddenly felt enlightened.
As time went by, more and more families came back with this harvest. Suddenly, the open space in front of the winery and the lawns around were crowded with people. With the crowds, the winery quickly started to make a fuss, which made Cen Jiahua, who was in charge of the work, feel a little headache.
In the end, there was no choice but to bring a handheld loudly to every tourist to explain the requirements for removing the trunk and skin.
To be honest, it is not that easy to guide tourists to make wine.
ps: Strongly summon recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, subscriptions and rewards! Shan, Xiao San is a little greedy!!!
