Chapter 974: The power of the best oak

Xia Ruofei quickly said: "No! His oak has been scheduled to go out this year, all exported to foreign countries, these two are only left! The others have not yet reached the standard of felling!"

Although there are quite a few oak trees in the space, Xia Ruofei still needs to cultivate truffles. Moreover, the two wineries add up, the demand for oak barrels is very large, even if all the oak trees in the space are cut down, it must be Not enough, so Xia Ruofei naturally wants to dispel the idea that Old West wants to replace oak barrels.

The old West heard a lot of disappointment and asked without hesitation: "Is there really nothing?"

Xia Ruofei said very firmly: "One is gone!"

“Would you like to ask again?” Old West said with full expectation. “In summer, the quality of our grapes is very high. I always wanted to use new oak barrels because of the impact of new barrels on wine flavor. It's much bigger than the old barrel. If you can make oak barrels with this kind of fine oak, the quality of our semillon will definitely go up a step!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Uncle West, it is really gone, I have already asked my friend..."

"This way..." Old West couldn't hide the disappointing tone.

Xia Ruofei thought about it and said: "Uncle West, can you see that this is not the case? No matter how many barrels the two pieces of wood can make, I only need two of them, and the rest will be left for the winery. New and old barrels. At the same time, we can compare them and have an intuitive result!"

Xia Ruofei paused and said: "And, next year, I will let my friend leave us a batch of oak to ensure the needs of the two wineries! You count a demand number, I let my friend reserve in advance, how?"

Old West said: "That can only be like this! Summer, you can contact your friends now! Next year we will order at least 800 wooden barrels for the wine!"

"800..." Xia Ruofei asked in surprise, "Is it used so much?"

“Used!” said Old West. “Golden Oaks is the largest winery in the Hunter Valley. The size of the West Winery is not too small. The two wineries are counted, 800 A wooden barrel is just enough!"

Xia Ruofei thought about it and said: "No problem! I will book with my friend right away!"

Then Xia Ruofei asked again: "Uncle West, how long does it take to make a barrel? Can you still catch up with this wine?"

Old West said: "Just do a few things, I told Old Karl to stop the other activities, one week should be enough! Mainly new barrels need to be baked, the quality of this process on the barrel is It’s crucial, and it’s time consuming, and the week should be the fastest!”

Then the old West said: "The grape ripening period of the Golden Oak Winery is a few days late, and it should be a week. But... Summer! I still don't understand why you must have unfermented grape juice. The fermentation process has very harsh environmental and temperature requirements. After you take it away, there is a great possibility that the two barrels of grape juice will become sour and smelly wastewater..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Uncle West, you don't care! Anyway, I only need two barrels... Well, go back to rest! Go picking grapes early tomorrow! I am back to the farm!"

"Okay!" said Old West. "I will let Old Carl come over tomorrow morning. He is the best hoop in the Hunter Valley!"

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

......

The next day, after Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei came to West Winery, a cool old man wearing a plaid shirt and ankle boots and a cowboy hat drove the pickup truck to the winery.

He jumped out of the car and shouted: "West! West! Where are you talking about the fine oak?"

The busy old West immediately put down his work and got up and greeted him. Haha smiled and said: "Karl! You came early enough! Come here, I will introduce you first, this is West wine. Zhuang’s new boss, Xia Ruofei from China!”

Carl persuaded him to nod and said to him: "West, take me to see the oak! If the quality is not good, I will not pick it up! Now I have a lot of orders!"

He doesn't care if the owner of the West Winery is replaced by someone, just thinking about the best oak in the old West phone call last night. For a top hoop, the good wood pair His attraction can be far more than a Chinese rich.

Old West is a bit embarrassed, Xia Ruofei does not care, smiled and said: "Uncle West, you first take Uncle Carl to see the wood!"

Old West looked at Carl with some dissatisfaction and said, "Come with me!"

He took Karl to the open space on the side of the winery building. The two pieces of wood were unloaded here last night.

Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei looked at each other and took a step forward.

As soon as Carl saw the two pieces of wood, he immediately stepped up and walked to the side of the wood to squat down and watch it carefully. He checked it much more seriously than the old West, not only carefully examining the texture of the oak, but also using nails. The different parts smashed a few times, and even smashed a small piece to sniff in front of the nose.

The expression on his face became more and more colorful as the inspection progressed.

Finally, Carl stood up and looked at the old West with excitement. He asked in a hurry: "West, where did this oak come from? How come there are only two!"

"You don't care about this! I will ask you if you can't pick up this job?" Old West asked with some smugness.

"Receive! Of course!" Carl said without hesitation.

Old West blinked and said: "We use it more urgently. I hope I can get oak barrels in a week. In this case, you may have to stop and work on other things. There is really no problem. Is it true that I am not looking for Wahir..."

"You dare!" Karl said in a blink of an eye. "West, we have been dating for decades! You dare to hand it to Wahir, I will immediately believe in you or not?"

Old West haha ​​laughed and patted Carl's shoulder and said, "Just kidding! I got the wood yesterday, didn't I call you the first time?"

Then Old West said in a positive color: "But I said that delivery within a week, no joke, can you confirm that it can be completed?"

"Of course!" Carl said with a slap in his chest. "Other orders stop first. I personally handle the two pieces of wood and I can definitely finish it in a week!"

Xia Ruofei asked at the side: "Uncle Carl, can these two pieces of wood make a few oak barrels?"

Carl frowned and said: "How do you know this? After going back, you can get a conclusion after careful calculation!"

Old West said in a long way: "Karl, don't blame me for not reminding you, the owner of this wood is not me, it is summer..."

Carl didn't hesitate to say: "I know, you didn't say it? He is the new boss of West Winery..."

"You didn't understand what I meant!" Old West said with a grin. "I mean... this wood is made in summer, and... next year we will replace all the oak barrels in the winery with this oak. The new bucket is the West Winery and Golden Oak Winery!"

Carl stunned, and then looked at Xia Ruofei. The expression on his face disappeared and disappeared. Instead, he was very enthusiastic smile. He laughed and undressed. He suddenly had a sense of guilty help.

Xia Ruofei felt a little hairy in his heart and couldn’t help but say: "Uncle Carl..."

Carl immediately said: "Mr. Xia! A look at Mr. Xia is a young and successful person, no wonder to be able to acquire West Winery..."

Old West reminded me: "Karl! Xia He also acquired the Golden Oak Winery..."

Carlton snorted and then immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, first introduce yourself, my name is Carl..."

Xia Ruofei was somewhat uncomfortable and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Carl, I know, you are the best hoop in the Hunter Valley area, right?"

"Oh... that's all everyone's lifting..." Carl said. "I'm just offended! Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to have such a way... This is the best oak, but it's not easy to get it..."

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

Feng Wei, who was on the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. For Carl's front and back, Christ also felt very cola.

Carl didn't think that he was still embarrassed. He still said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I have a ruthless invitation. If you can get such oak next year, if you make oak barrels, can you give priority to me... ”

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

Carl heard great joy and said quickly: "Good! Mr. Xia is a refreshing person! Let's just say it! I will settle down the oak barrel business of your winery next year!"

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

Carl quickly said: "Mr. Xia rest assured, I stopped all the orders and gave priority to your two pieces of wood! Right... you just asked..."

"The two pieces of wood can make a few oak barrels!" Xia Ruofei said with a slight smile.

"Right right!" Carl said quickly. "I preliminarily calculated that at least five oak barrels can be made. If the wood is saved, it is possible to do six..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Uncle Carl looks at it! Anyway, we should first guarantee the quality of our oak barrels, don't be in front of us..."

As if he was insulted, Karl immediately said: "You can rest assured that my old Karl's signboard has been for decades, and you don't have to say that I also guarantee the quality of the oak barrel first. I don't believe you smell West."

Xia Ruofei turned his attention to the old West, and saw that the old West also nodded and said: "Summer, Carl's character, you can rest assured! He has been making oak barrels in the Hunter Valley area for decades, absolutely Quality first!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Carl, it will trouble you!"

Old Karl said with a smile: "It is my pleasure not to bother, not bother, to serve you!"

When he finished, he immediately said to the old West: "West, what are you doing? Don't you call me a van?"

"Oh oh oh! Wait! I will call right away!" Old West said quickly.

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

Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei also began to invest in the winemaking work of West Winery, mainly in the early stage of the broken skin and stalking work. The late precipitation took too long, and Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei may have been unable to wait for so long.

At noon, the workers finished the white grapes harvested today and went home from work.

Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei also bid farewell to the Westers and are ready to return to Wonderland Farm.

When Xia Ruofei sat on the Mercedes-Benz in Wonderland Farm and started the car to start, the phone rang.

Xia Ruofei looked at the electric display, which is Tang’s private mobile phone number.

He pressed the answer button and said with a smile: "Don Tang, hello!"

Tang Haotian said at the end of the phone: "If you fly, where are you now?"

Xia Ruofei hesitated and said: "Dong Tang, I am sorry... I am in the Hunter Valley now! Because the winery here is more urgent, so when I went to the first two days, I didn’t have the first time to talk to you. contact……"

Tang Haotian heard the words: "Mr. Xia, you can do it! I haven't contacted me in Australia. This is to take me as an outsider!"

Xia Ruofei quickly said: "Nothing... Don't you remember Tang..."

Tang Haotian angered: "Hey! I read the news and knew that the flight you took was forced to land in Saipan. I thought you were in Saipan to cooperate with the investigation! Who knows that your kid has sneaked into Australia! I haven’t said hello to me yet. It seems that I really don’t see my brother in my eyes!”

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Don Big Brother misunderstood... The winery is going to harvest because the grapes are going to be harvested. I am waiting for me to come back to host the winemaking ceremony. So when I arrived in Australia, I rushed back to the Hunter Valley. Don't you have time to contact you?"

Tang Haotian snorted and asked: "Are you free now?"

Xia Ruofei stunned and said: "The two days are almost busy, Tang Da Ge, I will visit you in Sydney in the afternoon!"

Tang Haotian said with a smile: "This is almost the same! Summer brother, I let Ahu send a car to pick you up! Just a friend wants to introduce you to know!"

Xia Ruofei quickly said: "No need to use, I have to drive by myself! Tang Big Brother, you say time and place, I promise to be in place!"
