In recent days, grape picking has been carried out in various places. The weather is clear and the vineyards are full of busy scenes. Picking workers and machinery keep shuttled between the vineyards. The labor costs have increased to US$1,000 per week, but the supply is still in short supply. Some people are impatient and simply pick them with machines.

An Feng is one of them. He took the baton and went back to sleep with a wave of his hand. In the huge vineyard, only twenty acres of grapes were picked by hand. It took three days in total. The grapes with good looks will be used to make wine. The remaining 200 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, if the current artificial quantity is used, I am afraid that the grapes will not be picked even if they rot.

All the picking matters were left to the machine. An Feng stayed in the laboratory to observe the tissue culture progress of genetically modified grapes and said to John Old, "According to my personal expectations, it will sprout after about ten to fifteen days of cultivation. Adjust it two to three times along the way. When the plant grows, the rest will be relaxed."

Old John took a pen and recorded the key steps An Feng mentioned in his small notebook. An Feng looked at his records and nodded: "These are the relevant steps. If I happen to be away from here in the future, or there are other delays, you can follow these steps to take care of the plants."

Old John took the notebook and asked, "Bruce, can these really change the growth patterns of grapes?"

"Of course." An Feng said confidently, "It grows very fast. It can be transplanted into the land in about one and a half months of tissue culture. At this time next year, it will be able to harvest the first batch of grapes. I believe that the wine made from these plants must be excellent."

"It's unbelievable!" said Old John.

"Let's wait and see." An Feng smiled and suddenly thought of one thing: "But I still have a question, can genetically modified wine be accepted here? I remember France has also studied grapes for grape diseases before, but it was strongly protested by local vineyard owners."

John Old John thought for a while and said, "California allows research on genetically modified grapes. There was a yeast gene chain that prevented drinking headaches a few years ago, but the market response was not very good. Of course, as long as it is certified by the food safety regulator, it is OK to face the market."

"As a matter of course, everyone is still worried." An Feng muttered. Many people are afraid of talking about genetic modification, which is a lack of understanding to a certain extent. In addition, it is also due to its unknown nature. Its security requires two to three generations to verify. Unfortunately, which product can wait for sixty or seventy years?

An Feng is also one of the stubborn elements. He resists the forced sale of genetically modified foods. However, now it is different. The technology in the machine brain has been verified for hundreds of years, and more than ten generations are safe and sound. What else can I do? Of course, the right to choose is left to the public, but he has no losses anyway, so he has taken it as an experiment.

Putting these concerns aside, An Feng followed the winemaker to make wine a few days later. First, the bunches of grapes picked must be removed first, then squeezed the grapes and fermented the juice. Due to the maturity of modern technology, traditional oak fermentation wine tanks have gradually been replaced by stainless steel wine tanks. However, some old wineries, such as Lafite Manor, still use some traditional craftsmanship, complementing tradition with modernity.

An Feng felt that he didn't think about too many details. It was a good thing to be able to make red wine. Anyway, he didn't pin his hopes on this batch of grapes. This time he wanted to gain some knowledge, at least he did enough superficial skills. Don't tell everyone that he was the owner of the winery, but he didn't even know the process of brewing wine, right?

One day at noon, Joanna and Frank visited.

Joanna is studying in Berkeley, and the distance is not far, so she only drives for three hours. When she is free, she will occasionally come back to play for a few days.

After serving them a cup of tea, An Feng sat down, and Frank said, "Bruce, I'm here to discuss matters about grapes with you."

"Please say it." An Feng said.

"I want to buy grapes produced in your vineyard because the sales volume last year were good and there were plans to expand the scale of winemaking. However, the planting area of ​​the garden was limited, and other vineyards also had reservations for wineries. It is not easy to find good quality grapes. Joanna said that you are good here."

After hearing this, An Feng nodded: "No problem, the grapes I pick here are waiting for sale. The quality looks good, but I am not very familiar with these. The picking work is handed over to Old John. If you have this intention, I will ask him to come and talk to you, how about it?"

"Thank you," Frank said.

An Feng called Old John and learned from him that some grapes were still left in the vineyard and that Frank came to the door to solve the problem. After a few minutes of discussion, they decided to go to the park in person and sign a contract if the quality is right.

To be honest, these grapes don’t make much money, and if you can fill the cost with Anfeng, you will burn the incense.

Joanna stayed. She was not very interested in picking grapes, but she knew how to taste wine. An Feng chatted with her about the topic of red wine. Joanna knew a lot about the high-quality lifestyle, which may be related to her background. She was extremely skilled when it comes to the upper class.

In the middle, she went to answer a phone call, but when she came back, she was frowning.

An Feng cared and said, "What's wrong? You look very frustrated."

Joanna glanced at him and said helplessly: "I have a dance next Saturday, and some seniors from the sister club attended, but asked to bring a male companion."

"You are talking about the kind of brotherhood in college?" An Feng asked.

Joanna nodded: "Yes, sisters will have some senior sisters who work in various fields. They will make an appointment to come back to exchange current affairs with us and impart experience."

An Feng had never been in contact with the fraternity when he was in college, but he joined the club, which was of similar nature. However, these fraternity sisters are more active, usually feathers of feathers gather together, with high-end and low-end. The high-end ones are basically elite clubs in universities, such as the DKE Brotherhood of Yale University. The members of the members form a nationwide network of relationships through the fraternity links, and their members include many American presidents in history.

They look for jobs after graduation. It happened that the company's executives are also members, or friends know each other through banquets and other forms. Do you think they will receive special care? This is certain, especially the brotherhood of high-end elites, where members are in politics, business, and have great strength.

Americans who are good at socializing have laid a foundation for future adventure through fraternity as early as in college. After graduation, they are friends from all sides, and their social circles have been divided, resulting in a situation where elites are more elite and more slings... An Feng looked at the disappointed Joanna and expressed deep regret.

Joanna suddenly looked at him, and An Feng suddenly felt a little creepy. She said pitifully: "Please help me, okay?"

"You mean..." An Feng asked hesitantly.

"Yeah." Joanna nodded with a smile.

"But I..." An Feng was about to refuse, but when he saw the expectation in Joanna's eyes, he changed his words: "Are there many single girls there?"

Joanna replied: "The dance party requires male companions (female companions), which in some ways promotes the friendship between fraternity and sisterhood and gives opportunities."

"Oh, on the one hand, it's communication, on the other hand, it's a red line. I understand." An Feng nodded in understanding. "It sounds good!"

Joanna suddenly asked, "Wait, don't you have a girlfriend?"

"It's past." An Feng said, but asked with a smile: "Are there many beautiful girls who only have temporary male companions but do not belong to their boyfriends?"

Seeing him repeating it twice, Joanna thought about it carefully and said, "As for the ESC sisters in my place, there are many girls who don't have boyfriends."

"Do you think I'm old?" An Feng asked.

Joanna shook her head. The yellow race did not look older, at least younger than the whites of the same age.
