Old West nodded and said, "Okay, then we will start the layout of grape planting this year, and we currently have three grape varieties, namely Semillon, Tempranillo and Fiano. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoGrapes can be planted from September, so let's change most of the varieties to Semillon!"

The Semillon of Château West was originally their signature wine, and it was reasonable for Xia Ruofei to focus on this wine after taking over the winery, so the old West was not surprised.

It's just that what puzzled him was that Xia Ruofei shook his head after listening to his words.

Xia Ruofei said: "Uncle Carter, don't be in a hurry to change the breed, I will come to Australia again in September and October, and then I will talk about it." ”

Old West found it a little incomprehensible - since he had decided to specialize in Semillon, it was natural to replace some of the existing grape varieties with Semillon!

But now that Xia Ruofei is the boss, Old West didn't ask much, and nodded directly and said, "Okay boss!"

Xia Ruofei continued: "The winery's existing wine storage should continue to operate according to the previous sales model. ”

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, and the season is the opposite of China, where the grape harvest season is about March and April, and the grapes at Château West have been harvested, and this year's wines have been made, so their main job for the next period of time is to maintain the normal operation of the winery.

"Understood!" said Old West with a nod.

Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Carter, you can take Qiao'er back to the winery first! I want to go around the vineyard again." ”

Old West was a little confused by the boss's request, and said that he had already seen it just now, what is there to see about this vineyard?

He didn't know that Xia Ruofei just wanted to confirm that the area was planted with Semillon grapes, and what he had to do next was the main purpose of this trip.

However, Lin Qiao was quite clever, she winked at Xia Ruofei and asked in a low voice in Chinese: "Brother Ruofei, do you want to see how to improve Semillon grapes?"

Just because Xia Ruofei mentioned to her two days ago that it is better to improve the wine than to directly improve the grapes, this girl remembered it, so as soon as Xia Ruofei proposed that she wanted to go around the vineyard alone, she immediately thought of this.

Improving grapes is an exclusive secret, and old West must not be present! This is Lin Qiao's idea in his heart.

Xia Ruofei said with some amusement: "Almost! You stay in the winery obediently for a while, and I will do it soon!"

"Obey!" Lin Qiao said with a mischievous smile.

Then she said to Old West in English: "Uncle Carter, my brother wants to see the grapes, let him see enough, let's go back first!"

Old West couldn't think of the purpose of Xia Ruofei's strange move, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay! Boss, then let's go back first!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.

He watched as the figures of Old West and Lin Qiao faded between the grape trellises, and he also walked towards the area where Semillon grapes were planted.

The vineyards planted on a large scale in Australia are not the same as everyone remembers. It is a neat row of half-man-high wooden stakes driven into the ground and then hung with wire, like a barbed wire fence, and the grapes grow in neat rows.

Between the grape trellis and the grape trellis, about one meter and a half apart, the ground is covered with green grass, and a straight green "forest" is formed from a distance.

Xia Ruofei bypassed several rows of grape trellises and soon came to the Semillon grape growing area.

He didn't hesitate much, and took out the military dagger from the space with a direct thought, and then began to collect grapevines.

This is a whole ten hectares of vineyards, Xia Ruofei takes a grape vine every other section, and he can't see it if he doesn't look carefully.

Soon Xia Ruofei cut thirty or forty vines, all of which he collected into the Lingtu space.

According to the information that Xia Ruofei searched on the Internet in advance, he chose annual branches that were fully developed, well-formed, with short internodes, normal color, full buds and eyes, and no diseases and insects, and such branches were the most suitable for cuttings and propagation.

Then, Xia Ruofei walked back while enjoying the scenery.

After returning to the winery, Lin Qiao immediately cast an inquiring look at him, Xia Ruofei smiled and made an OK gesture to Lin Qiao, and Lin Qiao suddenly showed a happy smile.

They stayed at the West Winery for dinner, and Xia Ruofei explained some things about the operation of the winery by the way.

Of course, what he put forward is the general direction, and he still adheres to the previous style of specific operation and management, and fully delegates power to the old Westers.

Even when Old West wanted to go to Melbourne to deal with the aftermath of the company, he directly granted him and Aunt Cabelli a month's vacation, so that they could close the winery, although they went to deal with personal affairs, and then came back to manage the winery after solving their worries.

In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't pay much attention to the current profits of the winery, even if the winery was closed for a month, it didn't matter to him.

What he really cares about is whether the grapes harvested next year after the "improved" Semillon grapes are planted in September and October will make Semillon white wines with better taste and more unique flavors.

Coming out of the winery, Xia Ruofei took Lin Qiao directly back to Wonderland Farm.

Lin Qiao has been playing crazy in the past two days, and now that the acquisition has been completed, Xia Ruofei will be ready to take Lin Qiao to Sydney tomorrow, so today I am going to let her rest early.

After returning to the farmhouse, Xia Ruofei said hello to Lin Qiao, and the two went back to their rooms.

As soon as Xia Ruofei entered the room, he locked the door, locked the windows and closed the curtains - on the one hand, Xia Ruofei didn't want to be woken up by Lin Qiao who broke into his sleep, and on the other hand, Xia Ruofei had to go into the Lingtu space tonight to do things, and he must do a good job of safety first.

Even on his own turf, Xia Ruofei still maintained a cautious habit, and he carefully checked the room to make sure that there were no audio and video eavesdropping devices - although Xia Ruofei trusted Liang Qichao very much, there was no guarantee that someone would have arranged those devices without Liang Qichao's knowledge. The Lingtu space is Xia Ruofei's top secret, and there is no room for sloppiness.

After confirming that he was safe, Xia Ruofei summoned the Spirit Picture Scroll from his palm.

Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate much, and his mind moved into the Spirit Atlas Space Mountain and Sea Realm—he sent the vines here in the afternoon.

"Master!" Xia Qing had already noticed the grapevines that Xia Ruofei had sent in, so he was already waiting in the mountain and sea realm.

Xia Ruofei nodded and asked, "Have those vines been dealt with in the afternoon?"

"It's been dealt with according to your instructions!" Xia Qing said immediately.

After speaking, Xia Qing took out a large plastic sorting box, in which grape branches were neatly stacked, and he had cut these branches into 2 to 3 buds, about 20 cm or so.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's go to the Yuan Chu Realm!"

The two of them came to the Yuan Chu Realm with the cut vines.

Xia Ruofei said: "Xia Qing, these grape vines are cut in the Yuan Chu Realm, and after the harvest, collect the grapes and harvest them;

Grapes generally bear fruit in two to three years, and some can bear fruit in the first year, Xia Ruofei believes that in the Lingtu space, this time will only be shorter, and it is impossible to really take two or three years.

And because of the relationship between the 30 times the time flow rate, it is estimated that the grapes from the cuttings will be able to bear fruit in the outside world for a maximum of ten days.

Xia Ruofei wanted to make a comparison, one was the grapes that were harvested directly from the Semillon vine cuttings of the West Winery and grown in the Lingtu space, and the other was to use the seeds in these grapes as seeds, soak these seeds with the petals of the Lingxin flower, and then plant the grapes harvested, he wanted to see which grape was better.

In reality, grapes are generally propagated by transplanting or cuttings, and rarely planted directly with grape seeds, because there are many varieties of grapes, many of which have been grafted and improved.

In fact, in rural areas, grape seeds that people spit on the side of the road after eating grapes will sprout and grow, and eventually bear fruit.

However, such wild grapes generally have a sour taste.

However, Xia Ruofei still wanted to give it a try, because he felt that the aura in the Spirit Diagram space and the magical power contained in the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower might have a special effect on the grape seeds.

If the trial is successful, it will be a radically improved grape variety.

Moreover, after the grapes are planted, they will last for sixty or seventy years, which can be said to be a one-and-done solution.

Xia Qing said meticulously: "Okay, master!"

Xia Ruofei asked Xia Qing to immediately start cutting grapes, while he himself walked into the golden silk forest with tools such as chainsaws, axes, and ropes.

Tang He needs golden silk nan wood, and Xia Ruofei has to cut it down in advance - after the golden silk nan wood is cut, it needs to be air-dried in the natural environment for two to three years to form the best quality old material.

So at this time, it can be cut down and taken out after a few months of outside time, and the time is just right at that time - Jin Sinan's materials are very precious, especially the big and old materials, Xia Ruofei must need to inform the old man Tang He after a while, it is reasonable.

Xia Ruofei found the two thickest golden silk nanmu trees, took a tape measure and measured them, the diameter of the bottom reached about one meter, which was slightly smaller than the material sold last time, but at the moment when the authentic and best golden silk nan material was very scarce, it was also quite precious.

After Xia Ruofei fixed it with a rope, he picked up the chain saw and started working.

With the experience of the last time, Xia Ruofei was also much more proficient this time, and after about two hours, the two golden silk nan trees had already been put down by him.

At this time, Xia Qing had also completed the cuttings of the vines, Xia Ruofei called Xia Qing over and asked him to clean up the branches of Jin Sinan, and those branches could not be wasted, Xia Ruofei told Xia Qing to take them all to cuttings.

Of course, Xia Ruofei asked Xia Qing to take them to the Mountain and Sea Realm to take cuttings - the Yuan Chu Realm could not expand with the upgrading of space, and it was already a little crowded.

Besides, there are a lot of golden silk nan trees here, all of which have grown to a diameter of about one meter, Xia Ruofei will not urgently need golden silk nan wood, these branches are based on the principle of not wasting, and they can find a place to plant them in the mountains and seas, as for when they can become talents, Xia Ruofei doesn't care at all.

After dealing with Jin Sinan, Xia Ruofei came to the stone room of the mountain and sea realm with a thought.

He sat cross-legged on top of the jade futon and began to practice using his mental power to carve the unlocking runes of the herringbone jade rune......
