"Come on!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's not bad to appreciate the Australian style, we can't be blessed with Australian girls......"

"Miss Ling is so strict?" Liang Qichao said with a sly smile, "This place is thousands of miles away from home, if you don't relax, you can be a man in vain!"

"I'm not interested!" Xia Ruofei pouted and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liang Qichao shrugged his shoulders very regretfully and expressed his contempt for Xia Ruofei.

The room where Xia Ruofei stayed was the master bedroom of this small villa - this was also prepared by Liang Qichao in advance, the sheets and bedding were all brand new, and they were obviously exposed to the sun, and there was a smell of sunshine.

The evenings on the farm are very peaceful and the mood is naturally very relaxed.

He just used the computer to chat with the domestic Ling Qingxue video for a while, and then briefly communicated with Feng Jing, and then lit a cigarette and walked to the large balcony of the bedroom.

Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, is at the end of summer at this time, Xia Ruofei stands on the bedroom balcony, with a cool breeze blowing on his face, with an indescribable comfort.

This trip is said to be an investigation, but in fact, it is more about leisure and relaxation, and Xia Ruofei's brain is completely empty, enjoying the leisure of the holiday.

After smoking a cigarette, Xia Ruofei returned to the bedroom, and after locking the doors and windows, he took out the white jade piece and carving knife from the Lingtu space.

He had to continue to practice the carving of the core runes to maintain the feel.

The rest of the white jade pieces are relatively large, Xia Ruofei has now mastered the 17 independent runes respectively, and then he will try to depict the combined core runes as a whole in one go.

Xia Ruofei planned to practice for a few more days, and after returning to China, he officially began to engrave runes on that piece of top-notch mutton fat white jade.

Xia Ruofei held the white jade piece in one hand and the carving knife in the other, after taking a deep breath, his mental power was slightly released, and the carving knife was steadily drawn down, leaving an arc on the white jade piece, whether it was the arc angle or the subtle depth change, it was just right.

Xia Ruofei flew like a knife, white jade crumbs kept falling, and mysterious runes appeared on the white jade tablets.

After a while, Xia Ruofei raised the carving knife and blew lightly on the white jade piece, and after all the debris was blown away, a seamless rune appeared on the surface of the white jade piece.

Xia Ruofei sighed slightly, and said to himself: "The last stroke of the eighth rune is one millimeter deeper, and the arc of the thirteenth rune is not round enough......"

This is the first time that Xia Ruofei has completely engraved a complete set of core runes, in fact, this should be considered a success, some small flaws are within the margin of error, but Xia Ruofei is obviously not satisfied with this, he has higher requirements for himself.

After a short rest, Xia Ruofei casually turned the white jade piece over, picked up the carving knife and continued the second practice.

On this night, Xia Ruofei engraved four sets of core runes and spent two pieces of white jade.

Three of them all have some minor flaws, and only one is close to perfect.

Xia Ruofei was not discouraged, he had mastered all the runes, and what he lacked was nothing more than practice, he believed that after these few days of practice, coupled with the day of the official engraving, he would definitely adjust his state to the best, and he should be able to carve the core runes that he was satisfied with.

Xia Ruofei put away the white jade pieces and the carving knife, carefully swept those crumbs together, and put them all into the spirit map space without landing at all, and then went to take a shower and sleep.

Starting the next day, Liang Qichao took Xia Ruofei around.

They first went to Sydney, more than 160 kilometers away. Most Chinese people only know about the Sydney Olympics and the Sydney Opera House, but Sydney is actually the capital of New South Wales and Australia's oldest city, and is an important economic, political and cultural centre.

In addition to the well-known Olympic Park and Opera House, there is also the world's most beautiful harbor - Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Tower with a 360-degree panoramic view of Sydney, the historic Harbour Bridge, as well as the Sea World Aquarium, B. Braun Lookout and so on.

With Liang Qichao as a tour guide, Xia Ruofei spent a day in Sydney, enjoying the colorful street scenery of Sydney, watching and tasting food on a cruise on Sydney Harbour, and enjoying the sun, sand and waves on the beautiful Pacific Coast......

In the next few days, Liang Qichao took Xia Ruofei mainly to play in the Hunter Valley.

The Hunter Valley area is a famous tourist attraction in Australia, with many well-known wineries, as well as a variety of entertainment projects, and there is an endless stream of tourists from all over the world.

Xia Ruofei also experienced the classic amusement project of the Hunter Valley - hot air balloons.

Watching the sunrise in the sky in a hot air balloon is an amazing experience.

At five o'clock in the morning, Xia Ruofei came to the meeting place as required, and after having breakfast with the same group of tourists, he took the tour company's car to the take-off site of the hot air balloon.

The price of this project is not cheap, and the breakfast money is almost equivalent to about 1,000 Huaxia dollars, but with Xia Ruofei's current net worth, he naturally doesn't care about this money.

It turns out that this thousand three is indeed very worthwhile.

Xia Ruofei saw the most beautiful sunrise scene in his life, and when the fiery red sun erupted from the horizon, Xia Ruofei, like other tourists next to him, couldn't help but grab the SLR camera and take a wild shot.

In the sky, you can intuitively see the entire fertile green land of the Hunter Valley, and you can often see kangaroos jumping on the green carpet-like land, and the short one-hour flight left an indelible impression on Xia Ruofei's mind.

Since Xia Ruofei retired from the army, he has been busy.

After solving the problem of survival, he has been developing his career around the spirit picture scroll, and this is the first time he has completely relaxed his body and mind.

Xia Ruofei stayed in the Hunter Valley for four days.

He was ready to return to Huaxia the next day - Tang He's private jet had been at Sydney Airport for three days, and Xia Ruofei was a little embarrassed to play any longer.

Today, Liang Qichao only arranged one project, which was to visit the West Winery in the Hunter Valley.

West Winery is adjacent to Wonderland Farm, and Xia Ruofei's trip is to visit his neighbors and experience Australia's wine culture.

The Hunter Valley is the birthplace of Australian wine and a world-renowned boutique wine region. It produces less than 2% of Australia's wine, but it's quite famous.

Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao drove the farm's open-top off-road vehicle to the West Winery, which looked unattractive from the outside, like a simple warehouse, but Xia Ruofei did not dare to despise it at all.

Because on the way, Liang Qichao introduced Xia Ruofei to this winery that has a long reputation and history in the Hunter Valley area.

Founded in 1866, Château West is a family-owned winery with a history of more than 150 years, and its Semillon is also famous.

The owner of this generation of West, named Carter West, is a young man in his 50s, who is standing at the door of the winery to greet his neighbors.

Carter had the enthusiasm of a Westerner, and he greeted him with a smile before the car was stable, and Liang Qichao got out of the car and gave him a warm hug and said, "Liang!

"Thank you!" Liang Qichao said with a smile, "Mr. West, let me introduce you, this is my friend Xia Ruofei, who is also the major shareholder of our Wonderland Farm. ”

Carter showed a look of surprise and exclaimed, "Wow! Mr. Xia already has a high-quality big farm at such a young age, which is really enviable!"

Over the years, Carter has also heard a lot of rumors about the wealth of Chinese people, and today he saw with his own eyes that Xia Ruofei owned a large farm worth tens of millions of dollars at a young age, and suddenly had a feeling of "it is really so".

Xia Ruofei was also looking at Carter, this little old man was not tall, but very stocky, wearing a red and black plaid shirt with versatile jeans, and a leather apron, his hair was messy, his big nose was a little red, he didn't look like the owner of a winery at all, but more like a slaughterhouse worker.

"Mr. Carter, it's a good thing!" Xia Ruofei said in fluent English, "I just own a certain share of the farm, but your winery has a long history and a lot of accumulation!"

"Hahaha! Xia, I like to hear what you say!" Carter laughed happily, "The West Winery was established by my grandfather's grandfather, and I have passed it down for six generations......!

"Thank you!"

Carter took Liang Qichao and Xia Ruofei into the winery together.

It looks like a large warehouse winery on the outside, but the interior is really unique.

The roaring fireplace, exquisite glass murals, and a large space that can accommodate 300 people at the same time feel warm and quaint.

Several walls here are floor-to-ceiling wine cabinets, filled with all kinds of fine wines, and the wine tasting area is also full of luxury. I have to say that people who love wine must feel in heaven here, the deep and sultry aroma of wine, the stronger production, the previous faint wine is fermented here a little bit, and the mood is very good!

There is also a wine museum on the estate, which displays wine-making equipment from more than 100 years ago and clearly tells the history of the winery.

The Hunter Valley is visited by tourists from all over the world every day, and winery tasting is basically a must-have for everyone, so most wineries are open to tourists.

Château West is no exception.

There are many tourists who visit the winery and taste the wine.

Carter first took Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao on a tour of his vineyard.

The vineyards at Château West are built on several rolling hills, and from the heights, the mountains are undulating, with lush green and light green hues of grapes, surrounded by beautiful jacarandas and roses, and wild kangaroos jumping between the trellises.

Carter gave a brief introduction to the vineyards and said proudly: "In the summer, good vineyards are usually located on hills, which is convenient for drainage after rain, and if the soil is not well drained, in case of heavy rain, the rain stagnation cannot be eliminated, and the grape juice will be diluted, and the quality of the wine will not be very good." So, the wines we make at Château West are of excellent quality!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Mr. West, this trip is really worthwhile, it turns out that there is so much knowledge in wine, it really makes me gain a lot of knowledge!"

Carter laughed and said, "Summer, let's go back to the winery! There is food and wine that my wife has prepared for your guests!"

"Great, my stomach growls as soon as you say it!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Carter's wife, Cabelli, is an Australian aunt about 50 years old, who is already a little out of shape and has a chubby face that looks very friendly.

Aunt Cabelli was very hospitable, and she prepared a delicious snack for Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao, including fresh local soft cheese and Italian-style sun-dried tomatoes, paired with a refreshing, low-alcohol slightly sweet rosé sparkling wine Verscato.

This exotic snack and refreshing sparkling wine made Xia Ruofei full of praise.

Receiving the praise of the guests, Aunt Cabelli also smiled from ear to ear, and then gave Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao two bottles of West Winery's signature Semillon wine.

Liang Qichao had been in the Hunter Valley for a while, and when he saw this Semillon, he couldn't help but show off.

"If you fly, the Semillon of the Hunter Valley, also known as the 'Riesling of the Hunter Valley,' is known for its high acidity and freshness that cannot be replicated by any other region in the world, so you should definitely try it," he said. ”

Carter naturally couldn't understand Chinese, so he also introduced with a smile on the side: "Summer, this is the main Semillon wine of our Western Winery, unlike other wines, our Semillon in the Hunter Valley is usually harvested early to maintain its acidity and relatively low alcohol content after fermentation, and we use low-temperature fermentation, do not use oak barrels, and will be bottled immediately after brewing." ”

Carter pointed to the two bottles and continued: "Young Semillon wines are very light in color, with aromas of citrus fruits, herbs, grasses, minerals, etc., with crisp acidity, and as aging intensifies, Semillon will develop complex aromas of lemon jam, toast, vanilla, honey, etc., with rich aroma layers, round palate, and long aftertaste." You can compare the two bottles, one of which has been aged for fifteen years, at the best time to drink, and the other bottle that has just been brewed!"

"Wow! it's amazing......" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sigh, "It can be matured in a bottle for more than ten years......!

Carter personally poured the two bottles of wine that had been opened into different wine glasses, and then made an inviting gesture to Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao, and looked at the two with anticipation.

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly, picked up one of the wine glasses and took a sip slightly, then closed his eyes and tasted it, and only after a while did he taste another glass.

After a long time, Xia Ruofei opened his eyes and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a completely different taste, if I guess correctly, the glass of wine on the right should be a fifteen-year-old Semillon, right? I can feel the taste of time!"

Carter showed a happy smile and gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up, and Aunt Kabeli also applauded lightly on the side, obviously Xia Ruofei's judgment was accurate.

At this time, Xia Ruofei's heart moved slightly, and said, "Mr. West, I want to buy a batch of Semillon from you, is it okay?"

Carter smiled heartily: "Of course, we have a complete network of sales channels at West, and many Chinese customers also order wine from us through the Internet! I will definitely choose the most suitable vintage for you......

"No, no, Mr. West, what I want to buy is the new wine you just brewed!" Xia Ruofei hurriedly said.

"New wine, this ......," Carter was surprised, "the new Semillon doesn't taste great......

In general, they will not sell the freshly brewed Semillon, except for the difference in taste between the new and old wines, and most of the new wines will be properly preserved until they are sold after a decade.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "That's the case, I also have my own wine cellar in Huaxia, I hope to be able to collect some top-quality Semillon, and then quietly wait for them to ripen, I think in more than ten years, I should still be able to taste this batch of Semillon in person!"

Carter said with a slight emotion: "Xia, I can see that you are a person who loves wine......"

In fact, Xia Ruofei just thinks that this Semillon tastes more special, so he wants to buy some and store it in the Lingtu picture scroll, and try to see if this prestigious wine will undergo gratifying changes under the nourishment of the rich aura of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei naturally wants to choose a new wine that has just been brewed, and the aged wine that has been aged for more than ten years has been matured in the bottle, and the improvement effect of the space aura on them is definitely not as good as the new wine.

As for time, if these wines are placed in the original space, ten days are equivalent to a year, so time is not a problem for Xia Ruofei at all.

Xia Ruofei's explanation persuaded Carter, and he readily agreed: "Xia, how much do you want to buy......?"

Xia Ruofei groaned slightly: "Give me thirty boxes!"

Each box has 6 wines, and 30 boxes are 180 wines, Xia Ruofei doesn't want to resell wine for profit, so much is enough.

Carter was pleasantly surprised, he was just entertaining visiting neighbors, but he didn't expect it to be a big deal.

Carter very boldly discounted Xia Ruofei according to the treatment of the highest member, each bottle of Semillon was priced at 30 Australian dollars, 26 Australian dollars after the discount, and the total of 30 boxes was 4680 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to less than 25,000 Chinese dollars.

Xia Ruofei paid directly with a VISA credit card.

These wine carters will be loaded into trucks and transported to Wonderland Farms.

As for going from the farm to the country, it can only be imported from the fairyland farm in the name of Taoyuan Company - direct consignment is absolutely impossible, and today Liang Qichao also saw that Xia Ruofei bought so much wine, and he couldn't use the Lingtu space to pretend to be a problem, so he could only trouble a little.

Xia Ruofei was more interested in the wine museum of Western Winery, and after tasting Semillon, he walked around with Liang Qichao, and Carter also needed to receive other visitors, and he did not accompany him all the time.

Just as Xia Ruofei was looking at the text introduction on the metal nameplate with great interest, a surprised voice came from behind him.

"Natsu, is that you?"
