After seeing Haywood off, Qin Shiou went back to plan the construction of the fishing ground. At the same time, he called Bill savage, the account manager of Dick marine vegetation company. Although his main business is marine vegetation, he belongs to agriculture after all. He also knows about vineyard planting.

When he learned that Qin Shiou wanted to develop the vineyard, bill, who came all the way, smiled, waved his hand and said, "no, no, Qin, this is not appropriate. Canada's vineyards are mostly concentrated in the south, and farewell island is in the south of the south, but this is not appropriate. "

"Why?"

"You're here by the sea! Vineyards cannot be planted by the sea. The moisture is too heavy at night. Grapes can't stand such moisture. They won't die, but the taste is very bad, especially sour and bitter! " Bill explained.

Hearing what he said, Qin Shiou shrugged and didn't accept the explanation. Yes, he knew that the seaside was not suitable for planting vineyards. Canada's vineyards are mainly concentrated near the southern Lake area - this is because the large water area can alleviate the extremely cold weather in winter and early spring in Canada and protect the vines.

In addition, the lake area is different from the ocean. There is water, but one has no wind, one has strong wind, one has no sea tide, and the other has strong tide. It is two different environments.

In fact, Canada is not suitable for the development of vineyards. Although Canada covers an area of more than 10 million square kilometers, there are only four important wine producing areas, namely Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Quebec.

Among them, Ontario is the most important, accounting for about 75% of the national production, while only Ontario and British Columbia meet the VQA standard of the Canadian wine quality alliance.

Even in these two provinces, there are few superior dry red and dry white, and the main production is ice wine. Of course, Qin Shiou's Vineyard development focuses on brewing ice wine in addition to planting some edible grapes he eats.

Qin Shiou doesn't care about the taste of grapes produced along the coast. What he wants is to survive. As long as he can survive and instill grape vines with Poseidon energy, the grapes produced are absolutely delicious.

Bill explained that Qin Shiou didn't listen. He only asked him how to develop the vineyard and what kind of grapes to choose.

Qin Shiou checked the data. Before the 1980s, most of the grapes planted in Canada were cold resistant American varieties. However, the wine brewed by these strains of grapes tastes astringent and sour, so after the 1980s, European wine grape varieties have gradually become the mainstream of planting.

Of course, the so-called European grape varieties selected by Canadian vineyards are also hybrids, such as the hybrid of red grape variety black BaCO and mareshire fush, and the hybrid of white grape white saiwa and Weddell. These varieties are cold resistant.

Everlasting longing for each other, Dragon Seal Riesling, Chardonnay, Qiong Yao pulp and Pinot Noir, and other red grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sila, are all the best European wines.

Qin Shiou doesn't care. He chooses whatever grape variety he is, and directly asks bill to recommend the best grape variety to him.

Seeing his stubbornness, Bill shrugged and said, "customers are God". Then he called his friends in the grape industry and recommended several varieties to Qin Shiou.

Qin Shiou made a choice. He mainly chose North American Hongti, a delicious grape rising from California. Now it sells well all over the world. But this grape is not cold resistant, and bill is not optimistic about surviving on farewell island.

Qin Shiou chose two kinds of grapes for brewing. Red grape is Cabernet Sauvignon and white grape is Riesling. These two kinds of grapes are the most famous brewing grapes.

Bill suggested that Qin Shiou choose Weddell, a hybrid grape, which is basically planted in Ontario ice wine wineries.

Qin Shiou studied it. The grape of weidaier ripens slowly and has strong cold resistance. It is very suitable for survival in cold areas. In addition, its peel is thick, not easy to rot and easy to preserve. After maturity, it can still hang branches for three or four months to resist the invasion of severe cold in high latitudes, so it is often used to brew ice wine.

However, the ice wine made by weidaier is too low in acidity, too sweet and greasy, and lacks the fragrance of wine and flowers, which Qin Shiou doesn't like very much.

In contrast, Riesling is much better. The grapes mature slowly, but the wine produced by Riesling has a very detailed taste and aroma.

Moreover, Riesling needs a long and cold climate to form its elegant flavor. During this period, it can maintain a high acidity in the grapes, well balance the sweetness in the ice wine, and make the wine full, layered and amazing.

However, commander Lei is very delicate. He often reduces production due to sunlight, temperature and diseases, so it has not been popularized in Canada.

Qin Shiou knew that there were tigers in the mountain, so he chose these delicate varieties.

In addition, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon are selected for their famous and good taste. Another reason is that they are both suitable for growing in sand and suitable for the fishing environment.

After selecting the grape varieties, Qin Shiou asked Bill to help him purchase grape seedlings. He and the fishermen reclaimed the small highland and built it according to the requirements of the vineyard.

Grapes like light, and vineyards require good wind and light conditions. This small highland is fully up to the standard. The terrain there is high and it is not easy to accumulate water. After the construction of underground drainage ditches, even if the rainstorm attacks, it will have little impact.

Planting grape seedlings is the most appropriate time after falling leaves in autumn or before budding in spring. Spring in Canada comes late. This time is also the budding period, and planting seedlings is not over.

In the 150 mu highland, Qin Shiou is divided into eight planting areas. Basically, one planting area is about 20 mu. In one planting area, edible grapes are planted, mainly red, and other black and green. A total of more than 20 varieties are used.

The remaining seven planting areas are all used to grow brewing grapes. Shaq drives the rotary tiller to cultivate the whole land. The rotary tiller rolls quickly and finely cuts the sand land that has not been used for a long time.

Occasionally, stones, shells and other things are found in some places, and the sea monster behind will clean them out in a car equipped with a rake.

At this time, we can see the importance of pickups. These farm tools can be connected to pickups.

After ploughing the land, Shaq set up the boundary of the operation area, that is, he smashed roads with a cracker, and later people and cars entered the plantation from these roads.

The roads in the operation area are flat and straight, parallel or vertical, cutting the whole vineyard into small squares.

So far, he has only made preparations. Qin Shiou bought enough wood from St. Johns, then planted the wood into the land with a pile driver, and pulled steel bars and iron wires between them for grape climbing in the future.

In this way, the rest of the work is waiting for the grape seedlings to come.
