Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

He has a Carrefour supermarket in his hands. As long as he wants to, he can completely turn the Northern Territory into a fruit production area. In the future, things like melons and fruits will be produced and sold on their own. There is no problem at all.

However, although the climate in the Northern Territory is very suitable for growing melons and fruits, due to the influence of the monsoon, the Northern Territory only has two dry and wet seasons a year.

The dry season is from May to October and the wet season is from November to April.

In addition, the distribution of precipitation in the Northern Territory is uneven. The average annual precipitation ranges from 150 mm in the northern coast to [-] mm in the south. There is a huge gap in precipitation from north to south.

The most important point is that about two-thirds of the Northern Territory has less than [-] millimeters of precipitation, and most of it is concentrated in the wet season.

The distribution of precipitation is uneven. If you want to turn the Northern Territory into a melon and fruit producing area, you must invest huge sums of money in water canals.

Only by solving the problem of rational distribution of water resources can the impact of the uneven distribution of precipitation in the Northern Territory be completely changed.

Of course, this project is huge, and it will take a long time, and there is no way to see the effect in a short time.

The whole thing is like this, but in this valley, the most troublesome water resource problem is not a problem. With the Darwin River flowing through here, this valley is not short of water.

Not only that, the coast of the Northern Territory is often affected by typhoons, but because it is surrounded by valleys, when the typhoon comes here, it is directly blocked by the mountains.

In the hurricane a few years ago, the entire coast of the Northern Territory suffered huge losses, and the disaster was overwhelming, but nothing happened here alone.

Cows eat grass, sheep run early.

There is plenty of sunlight here, and there is no shortage of water resources. If it can be transformed into a vineyard, it will definitely be more profitable than converting it into a farm.

The scale of the global wine market in later generations is as high as 4000 billion US dollars. Wine is not only loved by Europeans and Americans. After the inland economy develops in the future, everyone will become rich and many people will also like to drink wine.

The inland vineyard planting area occupies the second place in the world, and the wine production ranks sixth in the world. The inland vineyards are produced in Northeast China, Hebei Changli, Jiaodong Peninsula, Hebei Huaizhuo Basin, Loess Plateau, Xinjiang, Gansu Hexi Corridor, The eastern and southwestern regions of Helan Mountain in Ningxia.

Now the wine market is mainly concentrated in Europe, and the production places are also concentrated in Europe. With the development of the Asian economy and more and more wealthy people, the scale of high-end consumables such as red wine will only increase in the future.

The European and American markets have stabilized, so it's not easy for him to compete for them, but he can't let go of the Asian region and let others fight at his doorstep.

Since the other party is willing to sell, he has no reason to miss it.

Transforming it into a vineyard is secondary. Turning this place into a large manor is what Yang Chen wants to do most. After inspecting this valley, Yang Chen can't help but want to turn it into a pleasing dream manor.

There must be vineyards, there must be farms, there must be pastures...

Turn it into a super manor and become his future residence in the Northern Territory. In the future, he will come here directly for vacations and so on.

Chapter 685 Making Wine

Vineyard cabin

Early in the morning, after Yang Chen and his party finished visiting the vineyard, they came to a clean wooden house on the mountain, and several of them changed into clean work clothes.

Sit in rows and wash your feet.

That's right, washing your feet.

Wash it again and again, braise it in brown sauce, steam it...

Next, the mayor of Darwin will teach Yang Chen how to make wine, which is said to be the most primitive way of making wine - stepping on wine. '

After washing his feet, the mayor of Darwin wiped his feet and said to his youngest son, "Bring over the cleaned grapes."

After hearing the order, Lucy quickly brought a basin of washed grapes not far away to his father.

Then, reminded in a low voice: "Dad, you remember the mark."

When the mayor of Darwin heard the words, he immediately became angry, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "Why, can't I drink mine? You boy, I think you want to be beaten, don't you?"

Lu Xi was glared at by his father viciously, and quickly shrank his head, not daring to say anything.

It is only right and proper for Lao Tzu to beat his son.

Lu Xi, who had been beaten a lot since he was a child, respected and feared his father, so naturally he didn't dare to talk back.

On the other side, Hans put a basin of washed grapes in front of Yang Chen, and then quickly brought another basin for Lan Meiren and his younger sister Lina.

The wooden basin is about one meter in diameter, and it is filled with blue grapes, which are full and look very attractive.

Seeing that his son was honest, the mayor of Darwin suddenly changed his face, turned his head and smiled at Yang Chen: "Mr. Yang Chen, the whole process of the top wine is done manually, and many wine factories now use machines directly. , the grapes sent by the machine, the grape seeds are easy to break, which will affect the taste to a certain extent.

As for the grapes squeezed out by humans, the grape seeds are not easy to break, and can separate the pulp from the grape seeds very well. The top wine must be squeezed out by a girl..."

A long time ago, when there was no mechanical processing, people could only make wine by stepping on it with their feet.

Foot stomping on wine originated in Western European countries. The earliest foot stomping on grapes was a traditional method used by local people to celebrate the grape harvest.

It's just that many people think that the wine that is stepped on with their feet is unhygienic and dare not drink it. However, with the gradual popularity of mechanized processing, most people really can't drink the wine that is stepped on with their feet.

Due to the large-scale production of wines sold on the market, it would take a long time to waste a lot of time if they were brewed by this primitive method, and the labor cost would also be greatly increased.

Therefore, most wineries will not adopt this method.

Most of the wines brewed by this traditional method are top-notch wines, and the prices are naturally relatively expensive.

The price alone is second to none. Usually, most of these stomped wines are only available in private wineries, and they are almost not for sale, but are self-brewed and drunk.

Of course, not everyone can step on wine. Under normal circumstances, it is the feet of young girls who step on grapes.

As for why a girl

Presumably there is no need to explain too much, no one will drink wine that is stepped on by old men or old men and women.

Of course, the premise is to know the situation.

If you don't know, you should drink or have to drink.

Of course, this kind of situation is almost impossible to come across, after all, few old men would sell the wine they stepped on these days.

Everyone stood in the wooden basin while stepping on the grapes, while listening to the introduction of the grape 'Syrah' under the feet of the mayor of Darwin.

In Australia, the 'Syrah' grape was introduced here in the mid-nineteenth century, and it has been unknown since then. By the 70s, Syrah had become the most popular variety among Australian vineyard owners.

Syrah grapes account for nearly half of Australia's grape production due to their ease of cultivation, good quality, disease resistance, and stress resistance. They are the most representative grape varieties in Australia today.

none of them

Syrah is known as the prince of red grapes and is considered to be the two oldest grape varieties together with Muscat.

Earlier, Syrah did not get the popularity it deserved in the world except for its origin in France.

It was not until the 80s that Australia planted Syrah on a large scale, and the name of the prince of Syrah grapes was just well deserved.

With the development of Australian wine, Syrah has gradually become a popular variety, and the Australian wine industry is also famous all over the world for it.
