000124 Jesse
After several days of study, Xiao Yifei finally finished learning what Jesse had told about that day. After previewing the following content, he drove to Berkeley again.
It was the cafe near the school. Xiao Yifei only waited for a while, and Jesse Shishi appeared.
"This is a gift for you."
Jesse naturally took the red wine handed over by Xiao Yifei.
"You really gave me red wine. Thank you. I like this gift very much."
Next, Jesse began to check the contents of Xiao Yifei's self-study these days and found that Xiao Yifei mastered it well. When explaining new knowledge, because Xiao Yifei had already previewed a little, this time it was extremely fast.
There are also Chinese restaurants near the school, so the lunch for them was a strange Zuo Zongtang chicken that they couldn't see in China. Please, Lord Zuo is too late to fight every day, so where did you get the time to make chicken? Moreover, this dish is to hammer the chicken, fry it, and then pour sweet sauce on it. This is not the way to cook Chinese food.
When paying the bill, although Jesse asked for aa, Xiao Yifei was not embarrassed to ask her to pay.
"Continue in the afternoon?"
Xiao Yifei shook his head. The new content for more than two hours in the morning was approaching his brain capacity, and it was about to explode again.
"No, too much is too little. Why don't you take me to your school? I haven't seen what an American university looks like yet."
American universities are indeed different from China. The biggest difference in appearance is that they have no school gate. The entire school gives Xiao Yifei the feeling of being a school, but like Forest Park. It is impossible to see that among the alumni of this university, 70 Nobill Awards, 15 are winners of world-class science awards such as the Turing Award, and even 20 Academy Award winners. They have won 159 Olympic gold medals. Berkeley's achievements in science, art, sports, etc. make it hard for many private universities to match.
Jesse smiled and told Xiao Yifei that there was an exaggeration. It is said that when he met an old man who was not handsome on campus, he might be the Nobel Prize winner. This made Xiao Yifei feel awe of here. This is simply Shaolin Temple. Anyone who sweeping monks can be the number one master in the martial arts world.
The campus is very quiet. The campus is well-green, and the tall trees with strange shapes require two or three people to embrace each other. The wide lawn, withered yellow leaves, the ancient teaching building hidden by green trees, and the old and tall bell tower. (The bell tower actually costs $2 to get admission. Are you a school or a scenic spot?)
"Is this beautiful? Then you're even more amazed when you see Stanford."
Xiao Yifei immediately became curious about Stanford. Stanford and Berkeley are the two most famous universities in the Bay Area. Although Stanford is private and Berkeley is public, in a sense, they are brothers and opponents. Generally, when facing this situation, everyone praises their alma mater. Is Stanford really so beautiful that their opponents are praised? Xiao Yifei has the urge to go to Stanford to see.
During the process of visiting the campus, Xiao Yifei saw many Chinese or Asian faces. It seems that at any time, the University of Berkeley will have a nickname related to Chinese people. The one who sees the most Chinese is near the library, and it is not unreasonable that Chinese people have good grades.
Xiao Yifei's other feeling is that although Berkeley's campus is old, you can't underestimate it in the face of those achievements. Perhaps this is what Mei Yiqi, president of Blue and White University, said in his inaugural speech: "The so-called great people do not mean that there are buildings, but masters." In addition, Liu Yuxi said, "The mountains are not high. If there are immortals, they are famous. If there are waters, they are not deep. If there are dragons, they are spirits." This is probably what Liu Yuxi said.
The two of them unknowingly visited the school's art museum. There was also a cinema here. Xiao Yifei saw that there was a promotional poster for "2012" at the entrance of the theater. The promotion of this movie was a hot topic some time ago, which brought the doomsday plot that many Americans already had to a higher level. Even Xiao Yifei was considering whether he could survive by hiding in the space.
Some time ago, he still remembered that he wanted to watch this movie. He was busy these days. If he hadn't seen the poster today, he wouldn't have remembered this:
“Huh. It’s all released in 2012?”
"Yes, it was released yesterday."
Khan. Yesterday was the 13th, and it was Friday again. This is the standard Black Friday. This movie was released on this day, and it seems to be an ominous sign.
"Beautiful Teacher Jesse, can I invite you to watch a movie?"
Jesse was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Yifei.
"Do you want me to see 2012?"
"Of course, do you think I'll watch those love movies?"
"Why are you talking in this tone? What's wrong with watching a love movie?"
Xiao Yifei quickly apologized:
"Sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just think that kind of movie is not for me."
"Hmph, be careful, if I accidentally teach you something wrong..."
"Students dare not, they know they are wrong."
"Okay, I'll take a look with you, seeing you as you admit your mistakes."
I guess you want to watch it too. After all, the promotional items some time ago were almost household names, and it is known as the special effects, and it is a big scene movie.
The movie is indeed a big scene. Not long after the beginning, Xiao Yifei was excited when he watched the Destruction of Los Angeles. When the protagonist drove through the overpass that was about to collapse and a building that was about to collapse, there were screaming in the theater. Jesse next to him nervously grabbed Xiao Yifei's hand, and Xiao Yifei felt that her palms were sweating.
After this little * passed, she realized that her hands were actually holding Xiao Yifei's hands. She smiled at Xiao Yifei embarrassedly and pulled her hands back. After a while, the plot developed to the eruption of the volcano in Huangshi Park. When the protagonist's family was nervously escaping, she couldn't help but hold Xiao Yifei's hand. When the plot was soothing, she didn't have the nerve to withdraw her hand this time, and still placed her hand in Xiao Yifei's hand.
During the last period of self-sacrifice, Xiao Yifei saw her wiping her eyes with her hands, so she handed her a tissue, which she took was a little embarrassed.
Finally, it was the drama, and the finale of the Great Perfection caused a burst of applause in the theater. It seems that Americans are very fond of this set. Visual animals like Xiao Yifei also think this movie is pretty good. If there is a 3D or IMAX version, it will probably be even better.
After watching the movie for more than two hours, it was dinner time. After dinner, nothing good happened. Xiao Yifei sent Jesse back to Danville.
In the evening, Xiao Yifei entered the Osiris space. After several months of growth and blooming, the vegetables in the space finally produced seeds. He carefully collected these seeds. He planned to dry them and plant some of them into the Isis space and allow them to undergo a second strengthening.
When he returned to the winery, when he thought he could relax for a while, another trivial and long work was placed in front of him, which was to add a bucket.
Because oak barrels have a certain breathability, wine will have a certain evaporation when aged in oak barrels. And during the aging stage, every once in a while, the winemaker will take a little wine from the oak barrels with a wine collector to taste whether the aging is in place, which will also cause wine loss.
These lossy places will be occupied by air. Everyone knows that wine will inevitably oxidize and deteriorate after a long time. Therefore, every once in a while, the "Wine Cellar Rats" must refille the oak barrels with wine, drive out the air, and prevent the wine from oxidizing. This job is to add barrels.
This life is easy to say. Take a barrel of wine, stuff the inlet of the pump into the barrel, turn on the motor, and then take the filler on the other end, and fill one barrel after another. The whole process is the same as refueling the car, but if you want to multiply the number of the car by 1,000, you will feel very painful. And when filling, you must also master the timing of turning off the filler, otherwise the wine will overflow the barrel. That's right, the curious Xiao Yifei made a mistake in the first time he raised it.
Martin pointed it out without hesitation:
"Boss, your move is not up to par."
Xiao Yifei looked at it and there was not much wine overflowing. He comforted himself:
"It's the first time, it's inevitable that something goes wrong, it doesn't seem to be much."
"It's not much, it's just half a bottle."
When I go, this half bottle of wine is worth US$25, which means he wasted 200 yuan in a moment.
The next day, Xiao Yifei was still half a beat slower. Although the wine did not flow to the ground, a large piece of the barrel was wet.
"This is another few dollars being wasted."
Martin's words made Xiao Yifei's teeth itchy. He was very careful about the third barrel. After switching it a few times, no wine finally overflowed.
"How is it, I'll learn it very quickly."
Who knew Martin continued to attack him:
"Although you have saved the wine, can you fill 100 barrels a day with your speed?"
Martin, it seems that you feel that you are too busy with salary.
After playing a few more buckets, he wisely handed over the filler to Martin. This life seemed simple, but in fact it still required experience, so he should be a supervisor.
On that day, Xiao Yifei found a letter in his mailbox. The signature was actually in Chinese, with the Anhui Alumni Association in Northern California. The content of the letter was probably about the news that Xiao Yifei, a native of Anhui, came to the United States to settle down. They welcomed and congratulated the Anhui Alumni members in Northern California, and invited Xiao Yifei to join them and become one of them.
