Chapter 382 Making a Grape Field Interplanting Plan

Chapter 380 Formulation of Grape Field Interplanting Plan
Su Yunduo divided the separation of wine skins into two steps.

The first step is self-flowing. The so-called "self-flowing", as the name suggests, is to let the wine flow into the receiving container automatically through the filter bag made of wine funnel and gauze.

The wine separated in this way is of relatively high quality.

Self-flow without any external force will naturally leave more residual wine in the skin dregs.

In order not to waste this part of the remaining wine, after the self-flow is almost complete, it is necessary to enter the second step, which is pressing.

Use external force to carry out the necessary extrusion to "squeeze" the residual wine that stays in the skin dregs. Of course, the quality of the wine squeezed out in this way is definitely far inferior to that of the self-flowing wine.

In order to distinguish these two wines of different qualities, Su Yunduo specially used oak barrels to catch the good wine separated by gravity.

The wine obtained by pressing is stored in clay pots that have been cleaned and fully dried.

The separated wine is quite good in the eyes of others, especially the wine that has been poured out by itself. The color of the wine is clear and rosy, and it is as bright as a ruby ​​in the sun.

Su Yunduo was very dissatisfied, after all, the fermentation time was a little shorter, and the wine seemed a little weaker.

Wait another ten or eight days, and the quality of the wine should be improved several notches.

"Compared to the wines I've ever drunk, the taste is a little sweeter, but this kind of wine should be more popular with women." Ning Zhongping took the half glass of wine that Su Yunduo handed him, and said after tasting it carefully.

"The fermentation is not perfect, it would be nice if we could wait a few more days." Su Yunduo felt a little regretful.

"That's not bad. There are me and Ping An in the back, so you can rest assured." Ning Zhongping knew what Su Yunduo regretted, but she really shouldn't stay in Zhuangzi any longer.

Without Su Yunduo's precepts and deeds today, it would have been extremely difficult for him and Zhang Pingan to lead people through this process with just a few words from Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo wrote down all the precautions and methods of storing wine that she could think of, bound them into a booklet and handed it to Ning Zhongping: "I can only entrust the winery to my uncle for the time being, and what I write here is only what I can do. As far as I can think of, there may be far more problems than these, and my uncle will have to worry about it."

Ning Zhongping was completely left in the capital by Lu Jinkang, and he sent a message to Xiushui County a few days ago, asking Mrs. Shen to bring their son to the capital for a reunion.

Naturally, I hope that the Ning family will come to the capital to develop, but according to Ning Zhongping's words, the two old people are afraid that they will not be able to leave their homeland. In that case, Uncle Ning's family may only stay in Xiushui County.

But this kind of thing can't be forced, it depends on the old man's decision.

The fact is that Su Yunduo felt that the two old people of Ning's family were only over half a hundred years old, and they were still far from being old. If they were in the prime of life in the previous life, they have already become old people in this era.

"This winery also has my shares. I dare not say anything else. Running errands will always be successful." Ning Zhongping stretched out his hand to rub Su Yunduo's hair. Halfway through it, he thought it was not good. He wanted to take it back, but he didn't know Somehow, he still put his hand on top of Su Yunduo's head.

Compared with Ning Zhongping's entanglements, Su Yunduo actually enjoyed Ning Zhongping's pampering gentle rubbing. He gently swung his head from side to side and rubbed against Ning Zhongping's palm, then raised his head and looked at Ning Zhongping with a sweet smile.

"Uncle, I want everyone to taste this wine, do you think it's okay?" Su Yunduo pointed to a jar in the corner, asking for Ning Zhongping's opinion.

The jar contained the residual wine that was squeezed out at the end, and the quality was naturally the worst among all the wines.

Meeting Su Yunduo's eyes, Ning Zhongping thought about it for a moment but shook his head: "It's better to avoid it, remember that people's hearts are raised slowly."

Su Yunduo lowered his eyes and thought quietly before raising his head: "I'll listen to my uncle."

In the end, there are still differences in ideas, and it will not make a big mistake to listen to the advice of local people.

The winery and the staff on both sides of the workshop had some small-scale adjustments. Lin Erfu felt that he was of little use in the winery, so he asked Su Yunduo for help from the busier preserved egg workshop.

It just so happened that there was a small mistake at the Songhuadan Workshop, and Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping were unable to separate themselves, so Su Yunduo repeatedly considered transferring Lin Erfu to the workshop. reported.

Ning Zhongping stayed in the winery temporarily to assist Zhang Pingan in monitoring the fermentation of the wine, and urged the servants to carry out the renovation of the vineyard and field management.

Before leaving Zhuangzi, Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping discussed whether they should interplant something in the vineyard.

Ning Zhongping shook his head straight after listening: "Your uncle and I have never planted land, so how do we know this!"

Su Yunduo looked at the grape fields, and suddenly thought of sweet and sour strawberries. She seemed to remember seeing someone interplanting strawberries in the vineyard.

But when I thought that planting strawberries needs to be covered with film, and there is no cheap plastic film here except for expensive glass or oilcloth, which can be used to build greenhouses, so I can only look at the grapes. The vineyard sighs empty.

The inability to interplant strawberries does not mean that nothing can be grown.

There are still several months between now and winter, so we can always plant some vegetables. Vegetables and rotten leaves are the green manure of the vineyard for the coming year.

It's just that Su Yunduo didn't know how to deal with the grapes after they were picked in previous years. Naturally, this matter was directly handed over to Zhang Ping'an, and asked him to communicate with Peng Zhuangtou for advice, whether it was fertilizing the grape fields or interplanting other crops. Guaranteeing the output of grapes in the coming year is the first element, and ensuring that the grapes survive the winter safely.

"Miss, do you want to plant some vegetables in the grape field?" Unexpectedly, just after Su Yunduo explained to Zhang Ping'an, Peng Zhuangtou took the initiative to come to the door.

"I'm going to ask Uncle Peng for advice." Zhang Pingan glanced at Su Yunduo, and Su Yunduo nodded slightly, so he naturally accepted Peng Zhuangtou's words: "I don't know how to deal with the grapes after picking in previous years?"

Since Peng Zhuangtou came here on his own initiative, he would naturally not hide anything: "In previous years, after the grapes were harvested, some vegetables and beans would be planted in the vineyard, such as green vegetables, peas, and green beans. This is naturally for the purpose of making more rational use of the grapes. The land during the dormant period of the grapes, in this way, the mansion can eat the fresh vegetables grown in the village, and the village can also have an extra income, of course, the more important thing is to accumulate fertilizer for the grape fields."

Zhang Pingan has been planting land in Geshan Village for several years. Although he has never planted grapes, and although he does not understand the principle of growing land with greenery, he still understands the meaning.

"That's really great! I'm worrying about what to plant, and with Uncle Peng's advice, I can get a big deal!" Zhang Pingan looked at Uncle Peng gratefully, and then simply acted like a junior to Uncle Peng. Li, then turned to Su Yunduo and said: "Girl, look, are you just planting some vegetables and peas in the grape fields as Uncle Peng said?"

As soon as peas were mentioned, Su Yunduo thought of the tender green pea shoots, so he made a plan for the interplanting of grape fields: "In the original grape field, half of the planting will be used for vegetables. Plant peas."

Hearing Su Yunduo's words, Peng Zhuangtou couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Half of the ten mu of grape land is five mu of land, so there are too many peas in five mu of land!

Zhang Pingan smiled knowingly after hearing Su Yunduo's words.

Su Yunduo didn't grow peas to harvest the beans, but she ate the tender beans. She wanted to eat the young shoots of the peas.

According to the planting experience in Geshan Village, the young shoots of peas can be harvested about a month after planting in this weather. Only the upper shoots and one or two young leaves that have not yet unfolded can be picked for this young shoot, which can be harvested every half a month or so. Once a season of peas is planted, it can be harvested seven or eight times.

Now it can be picked after Mid-Autumn Festival after planting. The capital is in the south of Yanshan Prefecture, and winter should come later. Although it can't be picked seven or eight times, it can be picked three or five times.

Now the Su family is no longer the Su family when they were in Geshan Village. They don't rely on selling vegetables to make a living. Most of the young pea shoots they pick are used to greet and send relatives and friends, or to satisfy their own appetite.

Peng Zhuangtou was surprised, but he didn't say much. As a slave, it is his duty to do the job well according to the requirements of his master.

In this way, before Su Yunduo left Zhuangzi, he made a plan for the interplanting of grape fields in a few words.
