【527】 In the vineyard
At 8:30 in the morning, the guests who came to Xiao's Winery to attend the opening ceremony had arrived at the vineyard one after another, and everyone was gathering on the lawn to chat.
In preparation for today's brewing ceremony, the farm has transformed a piece of grass near the vineyards since last month and turned into a flat lawn.
For a winery that is not short of money, coupled with the magic of "Space Spirit Spring", it is easy to transform a lawn with an area of more than 2,000 square meters in one month.
Now the white and long dining table on the lawn is filled with various fruits produced by the "Xiao Family Farm". The low-degree fruit wine specially made by Xiao Feng from the "Purple Bamboo Space" is also poured on the high wine glasses for the guests to enjoy.
The sunshine in Ginkgo Village in the late autumn morning is not only not vicious, but it is a bit warm when shining on people, making all the guests feel extremely comfortable.
The warm breeze is blowing, the fruits and melons are fragrant, the sun is shining,... Everything in the vineyard is so beautiful!
Since the lawn is more than ten meters higher than the vineyards, you can see the endless vineyards in the valley when you stand on the lawn. The harvest is pleasant!
The entire valley covers an area of more than 800 hectares. Apart from some necessary ancillary facilities and places that are not suitable for planting grapes, the vineyard planting area of "Xiaoshi Winery" exceeds 1 ooooo acre. Such figures seem to be small. There are larger wine parks in the Americas and Australia, but among the top wine estates, it is extremely rare to have such a large scale as "Xiaoshi Winery".
What is even more commendable is that the vineyard production of "Xiaoshi Winery" is quite stable, and the quality of wine-making grapes is also extremely high, which laid the foundation for its rise.
Nowadays, purple grapes are like bunches of shiny agate, hanging on the grape rack, which looks particularly spectacular from a distance!
A few days ago, Xiao Feng used a SLR to shoot a series of vineyard works. The group of works named "Harvest" attracted the attention of many netizens on the official website.
In fact, for many guests, it is a very special experience to attend this brewing ceremony. Everyone listened to the pleasant sound of birds singing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and breathed the freshest air. This is something that cannot be enjoyed in a metropolis.
The brewing ceremony was held at 9 o'clock, but at this time the winery staff had already carried out a large number of tools and equipment. They could pick grapes when the auspicious time came.
Many guests also traveled through the vineyard with great interest, observing the workers' actions and these special tools at close range, and taking out their mobile phones to take photos from time to time, full of interest.
In fact, this is also very normal. Although the guests have drunk a lot of wine, there are very few guests who can get involved in red wine making, and everyone is very interested.
Especially the fact that "Xiaoshi Wine" has gained a great reputation in just one year has made many guests extremely curious about its rapid rise.
Everyone wants to see what situations are the high-end wines currently on the market priced at 1,688 euros produced?
In order to ensure the quality of "Xiaoshi Wine", all the tools in "Xiaoshi Winery" eliminate iron tools, plastic products and other materials that are prone to pollution, and wooden equipment is completely used.
For example, the scissors for picking grapes are completely made of bamboo slices from Ginkgo Village. The wooden barrels, fermentation barrels and aging barrels used to squeeze grape juice are also made of wood. Although this method increases cost and labor, it has become the feature of "Xiao's Winery" and improves the quality of the product.
In the era when stainless steel fermentation barrels and mechanical processing were prevalent, "Xiaoshi Winery" has become one of the few wineries in the world that still maintain traditional production craftsmanship. This alone is enough to make "Xiaoshi Winery" a place in the world's high-end wine market.
In fact, it is not other wineries that do not want to maintain traditional craftsmanship like "Xiao's Winery". In fact, they do not have the killer weapon of "Space Spirit Spring" and cannot steadily produce high-quality wine-making grapes.
Seeing the guests performing in the vineyard was very pleasant. Xiao Feng was relieved. After all, this time the heavyweight guests who came to attend the brewing ceremony lost no less than 1oo. In addition to some ordinary guests, customers, etc., the total number was close to 1oo.
Xiao Feng urgently mobilized a large number of service staff from the Jinghu Hotel, which was to serve the guests well, and the order of the entire venue was orderly.
As the host, Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and all the senior executives of the Xiao family were all on the battlefield today, walking in the vineyard with a glass of fruit wine, and having a cordial conversation with the guests.
…………
"I'm really sorry this time, I couldn't treat you well!" Xiao Feng walked to the circle of Huang Xiaoming, Deng Xiaochao and other stars and apologized to all the stars.
Speaking of which, these first-tier stars have always been the focus of attention wherever they go, but at today's brewing ceremony, they were all the same as everyone else.
This is also a normal thing. The guests present are either high-ranking government officials or super rich people. Even the partners of the "Jinghu System" are all small wealthy people, so naturally they won't be chasing stars at a glance like young people.
Because there are too many guests, it is impossible for Xiao Feng and the Xiao family to be fully equipped, and the reception of these celebrities will not be so meticulous.
In Xiao Feng's plan, maintaining a good relationship with the entertainment industry is an important help to the future development of the "Jinghu System". Naturally, I don't want some omissions to bring some adverse effects this time.
"Dr. Xiao, you are polite!" Deng Xiaochao is older and has great experience in dealing with this kind of scene. He said with a smile: "This time we came to Ginkgo Village, we can understand so many guests!"
Deng Xiaochao is actually not unfamiliar with Yaozhou, because his wife Sun Li served as the tourism ambassador of Yaozhou in 2006. Sometimes he would accompany his wife to participate in some activities. However, he never noticed that in just two or three years, the rapid rise of the "Jinghu System" quickly quickly became an existence that is admired.
"Brother Chao, it's a pity that Mrs. Zun was unable to come this time!" Xiao Feng and Deng Xiaochao clinked glasses and said with a smile: "Our Jinghu system and the Yaozhou government have prepared a special gift to take it back when you return to Peking."
This time, Xiao Feng originally wanted to invite Sun Li to come with him. After all, she is the image spokesperson of Yaozhou Travel. If the couple can appear together, it would be better.
It’s a pity that this popular actress is about to be born, so Xiao Feng can only postpone the invitation until next year.
Xiao Feng, Deng Xiaochao, Huang Xiaoming and other celebrities chatted for a while. At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the vineyard. Xiao Feng turned his head and looked over and found that a group of old men who had finished morning exercises, the old lady was coming!
Looking at the shocked guests and excited media reporters, Xiao Feng could only smile bitterly and shake his head. These old children are really funny!
Leading by General Xu and Old Master Xiao, more than twenty people entered the vineyard in a spirit. Several old generals who were usually strictly controlled for drinking were immediately lit up when they saw the fruit wine on the dining table.
You should know that they usually have a living assistant and health care doctor to check for three meals a day at home. It is difficult to reach the top if they want to drink. Now that they are walking at the brewing ceremony, they can always take the opportunity to enjoy the alcohol!
"Grandpa, you are here!" Xiao Feng had no choice but to put down the one in his hand and greeted the two old men.
The elderly have always been reluctant to attend various celebrations. They didn’t expect to be interested in attending the brewing ceremony today, especially when there were so many guests, which really surprised Xiao Feng.
Of course, Xiao Feng would not be stupid enough to ask why. As the elderly, just like children, they are already doing whatever they want.
Everyone is not familiar with Old Master Xiao, but the photos of General Xu once appeared in history textbooks. In the early years, he appeared in "News Broadcast" almost every day, so the guests recognized the identity of the General at a glance.
In today's Republic, Mr. Xu is already the only founding general who has survived. He once served as the vice chairman of the Military Commission. He has a huge influence in the minds of the people. In recent years, Mr. Xu rarely appears in public. Now when he first sees Mr. Xu, you can imagine how surprised everyone is!
In addition to Mr. Xu, most of the elderly behind him are retired leaders at the provincial and ministerial level and even vice-national level. Their presence brought great shock to all the guests.
"Old men are just here to watch the fun today, so don't be too restrictive!" Seeing the scene suddenly becoming much quieter, the old general also realized that his appearance brought some pressure and said with a smile.
It has to be said that the old general's appeal is still extremely strong. As soon as he spoke, the scene immediately returned to its original state, but everyone's eyes still looked over intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, most people have no resistance to seeing this founding father at such a close distance.
If it weren't for the concern that it caused misunderstanding, some young people would want to pick up their mobile phones to take pictures of General Xu.
With the arrival of Mr. Xu, information about the relationship between Mr. Xu and Xiao Feng quickly spread among the guests. Many people then realized that there was such a great god behind the "Mirror Lake System"!
After the old people arrived at the vineyard, only Qin Yuanchao, Liu Yonghao and others could come up to talk, and the other young guests were afraid to come up. The old generals also understood the young people's mood and quickly sent Qin Yuanchao and others away, and they entered the vineyard to check the workers' preparations.
Xiao Feng did not mean to hinder the actions of the elderly. After all, the terrain in the vineyard here is flat, and the elderly have been recuperating in Ginkgo Village for so long and have recovered well, so it is still necessary to exercise properly.
The arrival of the old people is just a small episode of the brewing ceremony. As the auspicious time approaches, Xiao Feng, the owner, also wants to cut off the first bunch of grapes with the guests present to start this year's winemaking season!
Considering the rising price of "Xiao Family Wine" in the future, Xiao Feng looked at the bunches of grapes in the vineyard and thought they were bunches of gold coins! (To be continued)
ps:ps: Book a guaranteed monthly ticket for the next month from the villagers!
