000175 Pain and pleasure are one(1/2)

When he got home, Xiao Yifei sorted out the materials he took today, and Wang Nan also came over.

"Look at how beautiful other people's floats look, and then look at yours, it's too ordinary."

"Yes, that's right, but I can't blame me for this. I don't know if this is the case."

"Don't quibble, facts are facts."

"Isn't it true? Isn't the antique tractor winning the prize? I'll buy a few antique tractors next year and just put them in a good manner."

"Xiao Tuhao, you are really a rich man, and the nouveau riche is like your behavior."

As soon as he said that, Xiao Yifei started searching for antique tractors online. After searching, he found that there were so many antique tractors in the United States and so many shareholder tractor enthusiasts. Antique tractor display shows are held all over the United States every year, and there are 7 display shows in California alone in a year.

Xiao Yifei recorded the date of next year's event. He planned to buy a reliable antique tractor on site at that time, and decorate it carefully next year, and strive to get a prize to play.

The next day, Xiao Yifei and Wang Nan continued to work near the Bee Hill. Just like yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yifei took pruning and shearing branches, and Wang Nan brought gloves to pull the cut branches down.

These branches were tied to several wires on top with tape, and the tape was stapled with something like a staple. It took a little effort to pull the branches off the wire. Yesterday, the two were cut for less than half an hour before they finished work, but today it was a whole day. Wang Nan was spoiled since he was a child and had basically never done any work. He became tired after a short while, sweating, his hairstyle was messy, and his clothes were dirty. The gloves were covered with dirty things from grape branches. Wang Nan took off the gloves, wiped the sweat on his forehead, cleaned his hair, and expressed serious protest to Xiao Yifei:

"Unfair. Why is your job so easy? Just use pliers to cut it. And I have to pull the branches hard and drag the branches to put them together. You are a man, you should do this job."

Xiao Yifei raised the scissors in his hand and pointed to the buds:

"I'm technically employed. Do I know, and I have to judge which sprouts to stay. This is related to the harvest next year. Do I know, those who work hard to control others. Those who work hard to control others."

Wang Nan could only stare at Xiao Yifei angrily.

"Okay, I won't be able to glare at you anymore. Come on, take a sip of water and take a break, and continue to pull it up later."

After saying that, he took out a bottle of water from his tool kit and handed it to her. Wang Nan took a sip of water and looked at the movements of the Meso-born workers. He basically took the scissors with a click of the vine, cut it in a few pieces, pulled a handful of branches and dragged it to a pile, and then went to the next vine to repeat the movement.

She felt that what Xiao Yifei said seemed to be wrong. But she didn't know how to refute it. When her eyes rolled, she began to call foreign players:

"David David."

David walked over and Wang Nan began to ask him how to prune branches. David took out his scissors and started to explain continuously, while his hands were demonstrating. Poor Wang Nan could still understand at first, with mosquito coils in his two eyes behind him, leaving only mechanical nods.

David has talked too much. He can talk about what kind of tree shape the vine will grow next year, and then talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this tree shape. This is too complicated. It is not something that Wang Nan can understand. When David finished speaking, he put the scissors in her hand and signaled her to operate it, Wang Nan was completely stunned.

Xiao Yifei looked at Wang Nan holding the scissors. Looking at the buds at the bottom of the branches, I didn’t know how to start, but I felt that it was wrong to cut like this or that. Xiao Yifei laughed happily:

"Hahaha, you learn from David, don't think of starting a teacher if you study for a month or two."

David also shook his head and smiled. He could only call A Pei kindly and ask him to teach Wang Nan.

Xiao Yifei was tortured like this once, and he was honored to have accepted David's indoctrination. He felt that winter cutting was so profound and mysterious that he was at a loss. He didn't know which branches to leave, nor how many sprouts should be left. But in fact, this thing is taught by Apei and others. Just one sentence: cut whatever you want, as long as each vine leaves no less than 10 sprouts, and no more than 20 sprouts. As for which branches you want to keep, it is also a saying: You can keep whatever you are happy. You have to tell David what you want to do. They can't cut many vines a day, and the entire winter shearing construction period will be very long.

David asked Xiao Yifei:

"We're almost going to start composting. This year, the area has expanded so much, so we need to make more composting."

"You can just do these things."

"The raw materials are fine, just increase orders. But the compost needs a terrain. It turns out that the terrain next to Highway 29 is good, but this year you have taken over the resort."

It seemed like I didn't make compost there before, otherwise it would be strange if those two families didn't make trouble for you. Xiao Yifei was too lazy to think about the purpose of his words, and he knew that David must have taken a fancy to something:

"You just say what you want to occupy. Let's talk about it first, don't play the horse court."

"How can I do it? I definitely don't think about the horse farm. It's too far. Look, didn't you buy the Ivy family? You definitely don't like their simple house. It's a waste wherever the house is empty. It's better to pile up the compost there."

Xiao Yifei thought about it:

"Then you pile it up there."

The method of Apei teaches is very simple. Wang Nan finally learned it. He cut off a branch with a click, and stopped to appreciate it. He seemed very satisfied with himself and finally cut off the first grape branch. Then, with the click, he finally completed the pruning of the first grape tree.

Xiao Yifei was much more powerful than Wang Nan, and he pulled down the branches and threw them in a bunch in a few strokes. Seeing that the girl was really willing to work honestly, Xiao Yifei asked casually:

"David, is the sparkling wine from Sciberg good?"

"Of course, their sparkling wine can be said to be the most French champagne-like sparkling wine in Napa and even the United States."

David said the same thing, it seems that their sparkling wine should be of good quality. David continued:

"Their sparkling wine often goes to White House dinners. Nixon brought their sparkling wine to you China. The peace toast is to drink their wine."

Oh, there is also this. Wang Nan next to him couldn't wait to ask:

"Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Their winery also has photos from that time and the thank you words written by President Nixon."

Xiao Yifei is also interested in this winery now. It seems that visiting them should not be boring.

"By the way. Do their winery need to make an appointment?"

"No, you can go anytime, even if you need to make an appointment. It doesn't matter if you go. Are you not the director of the wine merchants association? They are also a member of our Caristoga. It is normal for you to learn about their needs."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"I just don't know if Xiu is free. He and his brother had a fierce fight last year."

"Who is Xiu? What's wrong with their brother?"

What David said about Hugh Davis is the owner of the World Brewer.

The World Brewer was originally founded by the German immigrant Jacobschram in 1862. After his death, his descendants sold the winery like the descendants of the Monterrena Winery, and exchanged money for money. The winery changed its owner many times until it was sold to Jack Davis in 1965. The winery was in the hands of Jack Davis. Just as Monterrena Winery was in the hands of Jimmy, it was revitalized again.

Jack did not produce the quiet wine that was popular at the time, but chose to brew sparkling wine according to the French champagne brewing method. Jack chose the right path, and the business of the winery was getting better and better, and often appeared at banquets and banquets where the president welcomed foreigners.

Jack died in 1998, and the winery was run by his wife, Jamie Davis. Jamie passed away last year and, according to her will, her youngest son Hugh Davis served as the winery Ceo.

Soon, Jack and Jamie's second son John sued her mother and Huo on the grounds that Jamie kicked him out of the beneficiaries of the family trust and allowed him not to obtain shares in the winery. (This matter is explained later.)

Although the court found John lost the case in the first half of this year, he said he would appeal to the California District 1 Court of Appeal.

Just chatting and pulling the branches, Xiao Yifei easily pulled the branches. But Wang Nan thought that although the relaxed pruning of branches did not have much technical content, it tested the strength of his hands. Wang Nan did not have enough strength in his hands and could not pinch the scissors for a while, so she began to hold the scissors with both hands.

"You can talk for a while. If you are really tired, take a rest."

The two of them were rotating. By the time the work was about to end in the afternoon, Wang Nan had no strength to pull the branches, so he simply pulled the branches, carried them on his shoulders, turned around and pulled them down hard. Xiao Yifei asked her to rest. She didn't do it, and continued to pull the branches without saying a word.

When he was leaving work, he took off his gloves and found that the girl's hands were actually bubbled. It seemed that she was making this girl miserable today. When he got home, he touched the blisters on his hands, and Wang Nan wanted to cry.

Xiao Yifei naturally took her hand and looked at it:

"Let me see, it's okay, I'll pick you up later."

Wang Nan finally spoke:

"I've never done so much work."

When Xiao Yifei heard her voice a little sore, he could only comfort her:

"Okay, we'll buy champagne tomorrow to compensate you. We'll die and buy the most expensive ones in Berg, that's OK."

"My arms are sore, and my waist and back are sore."

The height of the vine's arms is only about 60 cm. Xiao Yifei also needs to bend over to trim it. He himself also has ache in his back.

"So, so let's go to the hot springs and have a massage."

Xiao Yifei was too lazy to cook, so he drove her to the town and invited her to dinner in Suyuan.

Mr. Tian and his wife went back to the capital to accompany their daughter and their little grandson for Christmas. Only Chef Mo was there, so Xiao Yifei only ate the modified Chinese food. During the meal, Xiao Yifei saw that Wang Nan's hands were trembling. Seeing that the girl was really tortured today.

"It tastes fine, it's not as weird as you said."

Xiao Yifei thought to himself, you are tired and hungry, and of course you think it's not bad.

"I guess you are from Zhijiang and you're used to this taste."

Xiao Yifei ordered a few orders today. Wang Nan didn't feel full after eating, and he wanted to add food but was stopped by Xiao Yifei.

"What are you doing? I've done a day of work for you, so why don't I be able to eat enough? I'll pay for it myself."

Xiao Yifei explained while checking out:

"No, we have to go to the hot springs later. We can't eat too much, otherwise it will be prone to indigestion."

After leaving Suyuan, the two of them chatted while walking:

"The Indian Hot Springs Resort is not far ahead. Winter is a good time to enjoy hot springs. Don't look at how tired you are now, you will be able to make sure your fatigue will be wiped out."

When he arrived at the resort, Wang Nan changed into a bikini. Xiao Yifei realized that this girl was really well-informed.

"What are you looking at? Be careful that I will dig out my eyes for you?"

Xiao Yifei cannot belittle her figure against her will. He can only ignore it.

"Let's go, this is a mud bath."

"Mud bath?"

"Yes, mud bath plus hot spring bath, full set. And mud bath is good for the skin. Don't you girls like to have delicate skin?"

When I arrived at the bathroom door, I saw Xiao Yifei following her in:

"Don't there be a ladies' room?"

"No, either with me or go to the single room alone."

Wang Nan hesitated for a moment. Finally, he decided not to go to the single room. Standing next to the bathtub, he reached out to touch the smoked volcanic mud, and Wang Nan hesitated:
To be continued...
