Chapter 974 The Power of Superior Oak

Xia Ruofei said quickly: No more! All of his oaks have been ordered this year, and they are all exported abroad. These two are the only ones left! Others have not yet reached the standard of felling!

Although there are a lot of oak trees in the space, Xia Ruofei still has to keep truffle cultivation. Besides, the two wineries together have a very large demand for oak barrels. Even if all the oak trees in the space are cut down, it must be It's not enough, so Xia Ruofei naturally hurriedly wants to dispel the idea of ​​old West wanting to replace the oak barrels.

Old West was very disappointed when he heard the words, and asked reluctantly: Is there really nothing left?

Xia Ruofei said very resolutely: There is none left!

Why don't you ask again? Old West said with great anticipation, "Xia, our batch of grapes is of very high quality. Originally, I always hoped to use new oak barrels, because new barrels have a much greater impact on the flavor of wine than old barrels. If it can be used This superb oak is made of oak barrels, and the quality of this batch of se will definitely go to a higher level!

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: Uncle West, it's really gone, I've already asked my friends

So old West couldn't hide his disappointed tone.

Xia Ruofei thought about it and said, "Uncle West, do you think this will work?" No matter how many barrels these two pieces of wood can make, I only need two of them and leave the rest for the winery. The new and old wooden barrels are used at the same time, and we can compare them at that time, and there is an intuitive result!

Xia Ruofei paused and said: Also, next year, I will ask my friend to leave us a batch of oak to ensure the needs of the two wineries! You count a demand figure, and I ask my friend to reserve it in advance, how about it?

Old West said: That can only be the case! Xia, contact your friends now! Next year, our winery will reserve the wood needed for at least 8oo barrels!

8oo Xia Ruofei asked in surprise, did it take so much?

Works! Old West said,

Golden Oak Winery is the largest winery in the Hunter Valley, and the scale of West Winery is not small. Calculated from the planting volume of the two wineries, 8oo barrels are just enough!

Xia Ruofei thought about it and said: No problem! I'll book with my friend right now!

Then Xia Ruofei asked again: Uncle West, how long does it take to make a wooden barrel now? Can't keep up with this batch of wine?

Old West said: If you only want to make a few, I will tell old Carl to stop the other work first, a week should be enough! Mainly, the new barrels need to be baked. This process is very important to the quality of the barrels, and it also takes a lot of time. One week should be the fastest!

Then the old West said: The grapes at the Golden Oak Winery are a few days late, and a week should be too late. But summer! I still don't understand, why do you have to have unfermented grape juice? The fermentation process has very strict requirements on the ambient temperature. After you take it away, it is very likely that the two barrels of grape juice will turn into sour and smelly wastewater.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: Uncle West, don't worry about it! Anyway, I only need two buckets, you go back to rest! Tomorrow we have to get up early to pick grapes! I'm back on the farm too!

All right! Old West said, I'll let old Carl come over tomorrow morning, he's the best cooper in the Hunter Valley!

Thank you! Uncle West! Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

The next day, not long after Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing arrived at West Winery, a cool old man wearing a plaid shirt, riding boots and a cowboy hat drove a pickup truck to the winery.

He jumped out of the car and called out: West! West! Where is the fine oak you speak of!

The busy old West immediately put down his work, got up to meet him, and laughed: Carl! You came early enough! Come on, let me introduce to you first, this is the new owner of West Winery, Xia Ruofei from China!

Carl nodded to Xia Ruofei perfunctorily and said: West, take me to see the oak! If the quality is not good, I will not accept it! Now there are a lot of orders in hand!

He doesn't care who is the owner of West Winery, he just thinks about the excellent oak that Old West had boasted about on the phone last night. For a top cooper, the best wood is good for His attraction is far more than a Chinese rich man.

Old West was a little embarrassed, but Xia Ruofei didn't care, smiled and said: Uncle West, take Uncle Carl to see the wood first!

Old West gave Carl a dissatisfied look and said: Come with me!

He led Carl to the clearing on the side of the winery building—where the two logs were unloaded last night.

Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing glanced at each other and followed suit.

As soon as Carl saw the two pieces of wood, he immediately quickened his pace, walked to the wood and squatted down to take a closer look. I pinched different parts a few times, and even took a small piece out of it and put it in front of my nose to sniff.

The expression on his face also became more colorful as the examination progressed.

Finally, Carl stood up, looked at old West excitedly, and asked in a hurried tone: West, where did you get this oak? How come there are only two!

Leave it alone! I'll ask you if you can take this job? Old West asked smugly.

catch! Of course I did! Carl said without hesitation.

Old West blinked his eyes slyly and said: We are in a hurry, and we hope to get the oak barrels within a week. In this case, you may have to stop other work at hand, is there really no problem? ? I really can't, I'll ask Vahir.

you dare! Carl glared and said, West, we have been friends for decades! Do you dare to give this job to Vahir, and I will break up with you immediately. Believe it or not?

Old West burst into laughter, patted Carl on the shoulder and said: Just kidding! I got the lumber yesterday, didn't I call you right away?

Then old West said sternly: But I said delivery within a week, no joke, are you sure it can be completed?

certainly! Carl patted his chest and said, other orders will stop first, I will handle these two pieces of wood myself, and I will definitely finish it within a week!

Xia Ruofei asked aside: Uncle Carl, how many oak barrels can these two pieces of wood make?

Carl frowned and said: How do you know? This can only be concluded after careful calculation after going back!

Old West said leisurely on the side: Carl, don't blame me for not reminding you, the owner of this wood is not me, it's Xia

Carl said nonchalantly: I know, didn't you say it? He's the new owner of West Winery

You do not understand what I mean! Old West said with a smile, I mean this wood was obtained in summer, and next year we will replace all the oak barrels in the winery with new barrels made of this oak, which are West Winery and Golden Oak Winery Oh!

Carl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Ruofei, the stinky expression on his face disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by an extremely enthusiastic smile. The unshaven and slovenly laugh suddenly had a sense of sight of the leader of the beggar gang.

Xia Ruofei felt a little hairy in his heart and couldn't help saying: Uncle Carl

Carl immediately said: Mr. Xia! Seeing that Mr. Xia is a young and successful person, it is no wonder that he was able to acquire West Winery.

Old West reminded: Carl! Xia Ta also acquired Golden Oak Winery

Carl choked for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile on his face: Mr. Xia, let me introduce myself first, my name is Carl

Xia Ruofei was a little uncomfortable, waved his hand and said: Mr. Carl, I know, you are the best cooper in the Hunter Valley, right?

Hey, that's because everyone praised Carl and said, how offended just now! Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to have such top-quality oak, but it's not easy to get it.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: Mr. Carl, if you have anything to say, just say it! This makes me a little uncomfortable

Feng Jing on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter, and felt very coke to Carl's shyness.

Carl didn't take it seriously, he still said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xia, I have an unkind request. If you can still get this kind of oak next year, if you want to make oak barrels, can you give me priority?"

Xia Ruofei looked at Feng Jing and old West, and then said: Uncle Carl, Uncle West said, you are the best cooper in the Hunter Valley. If I can buy oak next year, I will definitely give priority to it. you!

Carl was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said quickly: Good good! Mr. Xia is a refreshing person at first glance! Then we can say it! Next year, the oak barrel business of your winery will be decided first!

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said: No problem! But these two pieces of wood

Carl hurriedly said: Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I will stop all orders and give priority to your two pieces of wood! By the way, you just asked

These two pieces of wood can make several oak barrels! Xia Ruofei said with a slight smile.

exactly! Carl quickly said, I made a preliminary calculation, at least five oak barrels can be made, and if the wood is saved, it is possible to make six

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: Uncle Carl, let's do it! Anyway, we should first ensure the quality of our oak barrels, do not face

As if insulted, Carl immediately said: "Don't worry, my old Carl's brand has been around for decades. You don't need to say that I also guarantee the quality of the oak barrels first. If you don't believe me, you have heard about West.

Xia Ruofei turned his attention to Old West, and saw Old West also nodded and said: Xia, don't worry about Carl's character! He has been making oak barrels in the Hunter Valley region for decades and is definitely the first in quality!

Xia Ruofei nodded when he heard the words, smiled and said: Uncle Carl, I will trouble you!

Old Carl said with a smile: No trouble, no trouble, it's my honor to serve you!

After speaking, he immediately said to the old West: West, why are you still standing there? Why don't you call me a truck?

Oh oh oh oh! wait! I'll call right away! Old West said quickly.

After a while, a flatbed truck drove over, and under Carl's command, the workers loaded the lumber into the truck and transported it away.

Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing also began to invest in the winemaking work of West Winery, mainly in the early stage of breaking the skin and removing the stems. The later precipitation took too long, and Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing may not have waited that long.

At noon, the workers finished their white grapes harvested today and went home from get off work one after another.

Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing also bid farewell to the West couple and prepared to return to the fairyland farm.

Xia Ruofei got into the Mercedes-Benz of the fairyland farm, and when the car was ready to start, the phone rang.

Xia Ruofei looked at the caller ID, it was Tang Yitian's personal mobile phone number.

He pressed the answer button and said with a smile: Big Brother Tang, how are you!

Tang Yitian said on the other end of the phone: Ruofei, where are you now?

Xia Ruofei hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Tang, I'm sorry, I'm in the Hunter Valley now! Because the winery here is in a hurry, when I arrived in Sydney two days ago, I didn't contact you at the first time.

Tang Yitian heard the words and said, "Brother Xia, you really can do it! If you don't contact me when you arrive in Australia, you are treating me as an outsider!

Xia Ruofei hurriedly said: No, Big Brother Tang, you misunderstood

Tang Yitian feigned anger and said: Humph! I read the news and knew that the flight you were taking had an emergency landing on Saipan. I thought you were cooperating with the investigation in Saipan! Who knew that your kid would sneak up to Australia! He didn't even say hello to me, it seems that he really doesn't take my brother seriously!

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: Brother Tang misunderstood the winery, because the grapes were about to be harvested, and they were waiting for me to come back to preside over the winemaking ceremony, so as soon as I arrived in Australia, I rushed back to the Hunter Valley without stopping. Didn't have time to contact you?

Tang Yitian snorted lightly and asked: Are you free now?

Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment and said, "I've been busy these two days. Brother Tang, I'll go to Sydney to visit you in the afternoon!"

Tang Yitian said with a smile, "It's not too bad! Brother Xia, I will let Ah Hu send a car to pick you up! A friend of mine just wanted to introduce you to me!

Xia Ruofei said quickly: No, no, I'll just drive it by myself! Brother Tang, tell me the time and place, I promise to be there on time!
