Chapter 114 Harris’s road to death
However, after Harris readily accepted Parker's criticism and happily left his pasture with the two saffron plants, Wang Lu always felt a little uneasy.
Don't let this guy cause any trouble again.
Fortunately, this guy appeared in front of Wang Lu alive and kicking the next day, grabbed Wang Lu's hand and said with excitement:
"Wang! I have to say that your Chinese medicine is so amazing. How did you think that such ordinary flower stamens can be used as medicine after being dried? It's unbelievable. I slept more than those damn stupid cows last night.
Shen, I haven’t had such a good rest in several days!”
Seeing Harris' apparent recovery of energy, Wang Lu also showed a hint of joy on his lips.
From the looks of it, those saffron’s medicinal effects are quite good!
The Harris in front of me is an excellent proof.
This made Wang Lu very excited.
It looks like I have another source of income!
But before that, Wang Lu still needs further verification.
"Professor Qin, I want to analyze the composition and medicinal efficacy of these saffron. Is there any laboratory in this field that I can recommend?"
It was naturally impossible for Wang Lu to conclude the medicinal efficacy of the saffron found in the Woulu Mountains based on Harris's reaction alone. The most scientific and authoritative way was to find a professional pharmaceutical laboratory for analysis and verification.
p>
That's why he found Professor Qin again.
"There are several companies in China that do research in this area. I can help you contact them, but you have to bear the cost yourself."
The connections of an academic master like Professor Qin are quite useful. Wang Lu immediately said:
"Of course, that's a problem for you!"
Given the backward local environment, it is naturally impossible to have such a pharmaceutical laboratory. As for other foreign laboratories, because the main audience of saffron is in China, I am afraid they will not recognize the analysis made by foreign laboratories, so it is best to
This work can still be carried out by domestic pharmaceutical laboratories.
When Professor Qin helped Wang Lu contact domestic pharmaceutical laboratories, Wang Lu also contacted Huang Zheng, the boss of the construction engineering team, again.
No way, as the oak barrels made by Lao Wei and the others became more and more abundant, Wang Lu had to consider building a wine cellar specifically for storing red wine on his ranch.
After all, it is not a problem to store them in the fermentation tanks of those automatic brewing machines.
Cellaring red wine will not cause it to deteriorate, but will add a lot of flavor to it as time goes by.
Before his own red wine has made a name for itself, Wang Lu does not intend to drink all of it. Besides, the red wine brewed from tons of wild grapes cannot be consumed easily.
Fortunately, Huang Zheng agreed immediately and gave the construction plan.
After several previous constructions at the ranch, the construction team under Huang Zheng had a good understanding of the geographical environment, construction conditions, soil structure, etc. of the ranch, and had already come up with a wine cellar construction plan within a period of time.
It's not difficult.
They were all old acquaintances, so Wang Lu paid the deposit directly, and soon Huang Zheng's construction team stationed at the ranch again.
The location of the wine cellar is right next to Wang Lu's private villa. In order to avoid affecting Wang Lu's villa, the construction team did not use large machinery, but used manual excavation for construction.
Otherwise, Wang Lu's newly built villa might be covered with dust within a few days of living there.
While the construction of the wine cellar below was in full swing, the oak barrels made by Lao Wei and the others had already entered the baking process. Without this step of treatment, it would be difficult to guarantee the quality of the oak barrels, which might crack or rot.

And it is said that the baking step can bring a different flavor to the red wine that will be served in the future, such as caramel or chocolate flavor.
But Wang Lu doesn't really believe it. Even if it is true, he probably won't be able to taste it.
But there is no doubt that using oak to store red wine, especially those of good quality, can improve the quality of the red wine. The pores on the oak can allow a small amount of air to penetrate inside and come into contact with the red wine, thereby making the red wine more mature.
Remove the astringent taste caused by short-term fermentation.
Of course, Wang Lu is not an expert, but those high-end wineries all use oak barrels, so he follows the trend. In fact, according to his heart, just a few stainless steel barrels will be enough.
But since it is intended to be sold to those rich people, the necessary packaging must be provided, so that people will be willing to pay for it, right?
In the midst of the excitement, the domestic pharmaceutical laboratory that Professor Qin helped contact has also communicated, and Wang Lu has sent the dried saffron back to China.
Now we just need to wait for people to test the saffron produced in the pasture and issue a report to know the results.
Just when Wang Lu was wondering how effective the saffron produced in these pastures could be, Parker came over and reported some unexpected news to him.
"Boss, that guy Harris is in the hospital again..."
Wang Lu was stunned as soon as he heard the news. Does Harris have any connection with the hospital?
"As far as I know, there will be no wild fungi emerging this season!"
Wang Lu asked with some confusion, and then Parker spread his hands:
"Yes, you are right. I think Harris doesn't have the guts to eat wild mushrooms on the mountain, but it is said that his admission to the hospital this time is not related to wild mushrooms!"
Wang Lu was completely confused now!
"But don't worry, he didn't faint this time, he just had a nosebleed for no reason."
Nosebleed?
According to Wang Lu's limited medical knowledge, he subconsciously asked:
"Did someone punch Harris in the nose?"
"Of course not, I haven't heard of any conflict between him and anyone!"
For some reason, Wang Lu thought of the naive appearance of Harris, his neighbor, and couldn't help but think of a funny possibility.
At that moment, Wang Lu took Parker to the clinic in the town to check on Harris' condition.
Similar to what Parker described, Harris was in pretty good spirits, but both nostrils were blocked and there was a lot of blood oozing out.
As soon as he saw Wang Lu arriving, Harris also felt a little guilty and lowered his head.
"Harris, can you tell me how you ended up like this?"
