Chapter 974: The power of the best oak (1/2)

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...”
