Manor Romance

Chapter 427 The Grapes Are Ripe

In his spare time, Yunli did not waste his research on new varieties of crops, but it was not easy to develop a satisfactory product, such as Phnom Penh's beauty is rare, but he is not completely fruitless , Some new products are already being cultivated, and he needs to look at the effect to be sure. In addition, Jiang Yuanhang also has occasional breakthroughs, and the results are quite good.

The down-to-earth days passed by quite quickly. Without any external interference, Yunli seemed to have returned to the time when the Spotted Deer Manor was first established. He was busy working around every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Ideal state to move forward.

A few months passed quickly, and the Southwest ushered in another midsummer season. The infrastructure projects of the Lotus House in the mountains and the Spaceship Jifang Garden are in full swing. The specific layout arrangements have been finalized by Yunli and Lu Ci. Only in some details, there are still places worthy of discussion, but they are not joint points and will not affect the advancement of the overall project.

Other matters are proceeding smoothly, especially the construction of the energy system. Some hydroelectric power generation equipment has been put into use, and with the addition of a recently added wind power tower, the self-produced electricity in the manor is now completely self-sufficient, only the water source On the one hand, the filtration system has not been completed so quickly, and it will take some time to use my own water source.

This morning, everyone put aside their work for the time being, and shuttled through the breeding network of Xiaolu Mountain carrying large bamboo baskets one by one, laughing and laughing, because the first batch of grapes planted was ready to be harvested.

Last year, the first batch of [-] high-quality grape seedlings were planted, of which California red grapes accounted for half, all in the southern area, and [-] plants of each of the other three types, namely Pearl Grape, Zuijinxiang and Blackcurrant , the original seedlings have now climbed onto the trellis, and there are clusters of abundant grape clusters hanging under many vines, exuding a unique fruity fragrance, which makes people want to smell it.

"Raise it higher, I won't be able to pick it!" Yunli and Lu Ci were also in the harvest team, and Xiaoya even rode on Yunli's shoulders, trying to reach out to pick the bunches of grapes on her head. The scaffolding was more than two meters high, and even though she was standing on top of Yunli, she still couldn't reach it with her small hands. Anxiously, she twisted her buttocks and complained to Yunli, while Lu Ci followed behind them with a basket, smiling at the scene The big and the young are playing around.

Nuomi was also happily running beside them. Compared to a few months ago, its size was significantly larger, and its hair was still white and translucent. There were some small yellow hairs in a few places, which was its unique texture. Its mother, the snow wolf dog, has a good demeanor, is agile and quick-witted, and can tell its extraordinaryness at a glance.

"Don't move around, there are not many footholds here, be careful that you will fall into the ditch later, you little girl can't swim yet." The little girl moved around on her shoulders, her white and tender flesh rubbed away. A little itchy, he immediately reminded him aloud, and made a gesture to throw the little girl into the ditch, so scared that the little girl quickly grabbed his hair and grinned at him in pain.

"When I built this trellis, why didn't I think about what to do when it was harvested. The bunches of grapes either grew in the middle of the ditch or on the edge, and it was not easy to pick them off. Are you smart? Are you clever?" Lu Ci didn't have any good ways to help Xiaoya, so he teased Yunli out loud.

Yun Li stretched out his hand to straighten Xiaoya's messy hair, and replied: "It's true that I didn't think carefully, but there's nothing I can do about it. The vines were planted on the edge of the ditch, and I made full use of the idle area. It is very different from other vineyard areas, and I implemented it with the idea of ​​building a sightseeing passage, but I really didn’t take into account what to do when the harvest is in.”

"Look at Brother Chen and the others, they directly built a ladder frame in the middle. This method is not bad, let's build one too." Lu Ci saw that not far away, Brother Chen and the others had already set up ladders to pick grape bunches , she suggested to Yunli.

Yun Li followed his line of sight and saw that this method is really good. The ditch is not very wide, only about 1.2 meters wide. Adults can easily jump over it, and it is not difficult to make a ladder in the middle, but he did not build a ladder. He waved to Lu Ci, and said with a smile, "You don't need to make it yourself, let's get the ready-made ones and pick grape bunches!"

After finishing speaking, he opened Xiaoya's grasped hands, and happily ran towards Old Brother Chen. Xiaoya sat on his shoulders and thought it was fun, so she let out a "giggle" laugh, Lu Ci wanted to call Yun Li took it easy, don't scare the little girl into asking for trouble again, but he didn't seem to hear it, and she followed quickly, there was nothing she could do with these two big and small friends.

"Let's come, hehehe." Before the people arrived, Xiaoya waved and cheered to Brother Chen and the others. She was so happy every time there was a harvest event. It seemed that this little girl had fully integrated into the manor. The atmosphere is good, and there is the potential to succeed and be the master of the house.

"It's just in time. Our senior team is in need of young and strong people. Quickly ask your big devil to help." As soon as the little girl came over, Sun Mei "plucked" him off Yunli's shoulders, and pointed at Yunli. The little girl hugged and kissed, Xiaoya and Sun Mei were already very familiar, and they never saw anyone playing with her. Lu Ci also suspected that the active factor in the little girl was caused by Sun Mei. Xiaoya is not so lively, but this is a good sign.

Sun Mei also took a rare break from her busy schedule today, she put down the complicated work at hand and came to pick grape bunches. With the development of various projects, she has been very busy recently. Their Zexin Construction Company has gradually shifted the focus of their work to the Spotted Deer Manor. Her parents also came to discuss matters with Yunli, but the family intends to train her and let her lead the development of this work, and she is willing to accept such a challenge.

"Hey, I'm only in my sixties, so I don't recognize my old age so quickly. What do you think, Professor Gu?" Except for Sun Mei, their group is really a veritable old group. Sun Qingze, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Brother, after hearing Sun Mei's words, Old Brother Chen on the ladder responded with a smile.

Elder Gu on the other side of the ladder also chuckled, and echoed: "There is no basis for talking, why don't we compare with these young people and see who picks the most grapes before lunch, so that we can be more convincing. "

"Okay, let's compete together, and I'll be the referee!" Hearing what Gu Lao said, Xiaoya immediately agreed, and now that there is excitement, she will definitely not be left behind.

"You can only count within a hundred, and you can't count more than a hundred. Look, there are so many bunches of grapes. How can you count them? It's almost as good as letting me be the referee." Lu Ci chased after him. , just heard Xiaoya's words, and couldn't help but sarcasm her, the little girl's math is not very good.

When the little girl heard that she couldn't hold back her face, she really didn't know how to count the numbers after one hundred, and she would always get confused, but she was not stupid, and immediately said: "Everyone is only allowed to pick one hundred strings, I see who is the fastest Whoever picks a hundred strings will be the champion."

"Hey, my little head turns very fast, but sister Mei is not good at picking, she only knows how to eat, like you, how about we have a champion who eats the most?" Sun Mei saw that the little girl was so smart , also spoke up and suggested, Xiaoya nodded fiercely when she heard it, although she also wanted to climb up to pick and play by herself, but she was more willing to eat with a large bunch of grapes, no matter how much she ate, she would never get tired of it.

"Don't eat so much. Recently, you have eaten grapes as rice, and if you eat any more, it will become grape essence. Come here and help pack grape bunches." Seeing the little girl's expectant look, Lu Ci immediately poured cold water on her Cool down.

Since the bunches of grapes are ripe, the little girl has been looking forward to eating them every day. Lu Ci doesn't want her to eat without restraint, but she is busy with work and doesn't have much time to supervise. Acting like a baby to help pick grapes, everyone dotes on her very much. I don’t know how much she eats in a day. In short, she screams full when she eats a few mouthfuls. You can see her round belly without lifting her clothes.

While they were talking about it, Old Brother Chen and Old Gu had already handed down bunches of large grapes. The whole area they planted here was California red grapes. The fruit clusters were huge, and the grapes were so red that they were purple. They are round and round, densely arranged, each crystal clear, like glass crystals, and you will be more careful when holding them in your hands, for fear of destroying such a beautiful thing.

When the first bunch of grapes were picked, the people below couldn’t help trying them out. The grapes of this variety have firm flesh, a crisp taste, moderate juice, and just the right sweetness. You can’t help but eat the first grape To continue eating, a large bunch of grapes was quickly eaten up by them.

After eating, they started to work. The employees brought a lot of tools over, and Yunli also wanted a ladder to go up to pick grape bunches. The little girl watched him pick the bunches, and felt itchy in her heart, and she was arguing that she would also pick grapes. Wanting to go up to pick grapes, Yun Li granted her wish and let the little girl sit on his shoulders, and the two of them started picking grape bunches while playing around like this.

Yunli picked it on the top, and Lu Ci and Sun Mei helped stack it below. Most of this batch of grape bunches will be supplied to the Shangri Hotel. They had booked this batch of grapes with Yunli very early. Several partners, including Mingyi Hotel and Hailu Shopping Mall, wanted to buy this batch of grapes, but the price offered by Shange Hotel was the highest, and Tang Weiran even called Yunli himself to negotiate, and Yunli agreed down.

The baskets for grape bunches are also particular. This time they used rectangular bamboo baskets made of moso bamboo cut from the mountains. Now most of the agricultural products in the manor are made of special bamboo baskets. It is also a unique symbol of Spotted Deer Manor.

In fact, the manor began to use this kind of baskets to ship products a long time ago, but the baskets used now are obviously more distinctive than those before. You can see that a lot of effort has been put into it. What's more, on one of the long sides of the baskets, the "Deer" trademark of Banlu Manor is directly woven with bamboo strips, which makes these baskets even more stylish.
