Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

Two days later, the domestic family reunited again.

In addition to my sister's family, my parents also followed. They said that there are not many people in the country. After decades of traditional Spring Festival, they are tired of routines, so they come here for a change and follow the trend... An Feng has always agreed with this kind of free life attitude. If you have money in your pocket, don’t you need to be stupid?

Everyone lived in SLO, and Joanna didn't go back to San Rafael after school. Anyway, the plane was fast enough, and the commuters in the big city were still getting angry by honking their horns on the road, so she went home to drink tea. But this fast and comfortable life can only be enjoyed by very few people, and its cost is too huge.

Old John and his assistant Cathy took them home. After being upgraded to a winery, the title of the position must naturally be upgraded. The partner Lin Hai is naturally the "Sales Supervisor", while Old John is the "Production Supervisor". Cathy works very well, and as the supervisor's assistant, the salary has also increased accordingly .

After all, An Feng is not short of money, as long as he is happy, it doesn't matter.

...

After increasing investment, the changes in the vineyard are also obvious.

The first is appearance.

The mansion on the top of the hill is the landmark building of the vineyard, and it looks quite spectacular from a distance. After Old John took the money, he carried out major renovations on the original basis. First of all, the sides of the uphill road are no longer bare - the "wild road" where An Feng used to drive down the mountain with off-road motorcycles has disappeared, and green grass and flowers have been planted.

When I drove up, I looked up and saw a wooden signboard of "An's Winery" erected high at the gate. The iron gate was also repainted, and a mailbox was added next to it. Pushing open the door and entering, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard have been carefully decorated, and the two hounds seem to have become garden guards.

Looking at the brand-new winery, my mother said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few months. The changes here are really big. It feels a bit like on TV."

Everyone agrees, great changes.

An Feng said to everyone: "This is what I want! Everyone, please come in! Welcome to the reborn An's Winery!"

The house has also been remodeled, removing some youthful objects, laying brown carpets, adding a red theme, wine red furniture can be seen everywhere, and neatly packaged red wine on the wine rack... According to the visitors From the angle of view, it does look like a precious winery.

Compared with the house I lived in before, it used to be a traditional home style, but now it feels like it has transformed into a high-end style.

The brother-in-law admired: "The designer is amazing!"

An Feng took the credit: "I also have my opinion in it, okay?"

Joanna smiled: "Nonsense! You put all the work on John and didn't mention him."

An Feng smiled, turned his head and said to Old John: "And you, the hero who provided the creative design of the winery, this beautiful place really deserves the artistic conception!"

Old John smiled: "We have a batch of red wine, do you want to try it?"

An Feng said: "No problem, let's enjoy dinner together. Don't forget you, John, I haven't sat and chatted with you for a long time. Are you free tonight?"

"I'll be there on time," said old John.

...

At dinner, Old John brought back two bottles of the winery's own wine.

Now it is February. In addition to aging, some of the wines that were drunk that year or produced in large quantities have been bottled and are ready to drink at any time. Red wine does not mean that the longer it is kept, the better it is. It takes a long time for aging. After aging and bottling, continue to store for three to five years to obtain the most mellow taste.

Now Old John opened ordinary wine and poured some for everyone.

An Feng picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, ignoring the little girl in front of him yearning for "Coke" in his eyes, he casually said: "Red wine is made with horse urine, children can't drink it indiscriminately!"

Xiaoyu has seen both red and white before, but the red one has never explained to her, and she has never noticed it. Now she looks at him with eyes full of question marks, and her face is full of disbelief. But seeing that the adults are all serious, even the grandparents who don't usually lie to her... She began to be a little suspicious.

An Feng tasted a small sip, the taste was rich, and the aftertaste lasted for a long time. Compared with some red wines worth thousands of dollars that he ordered in western restaurants in the past, he didn’t give up—maybe some of them couldn’t hold back, and the reason was the boasting halo, but even if it was offset 50% effect, it's worth $500, isn't it?

An Feng was very proud. He asked Old John: "How much do you think this batch of wine can score?"

Old John put down his glass and said with emotion: "This is definitely a high-quality red wine. Several neighbors around have tasted it and are full of praise. Frank has even brewed all the grapes you sold to him with traditional techniques and made them aged. Store it for five to ten years and seal it up as top wine."

An Feng nodded, not many people present understood it, but it felt very high-end.

Old John just got to the point: "If you can ask a master wine taster to comment, it is very hopeful that a batch of aged wines will be highly rated."

An Feng said, "When do you usually start wine tasting?"

"There is no specific time, it usually depends on the schedule. As long as the red wine is brewed and bottled, we can invite some famous masters to taste the wine and score an authoritative score. We have plans to invite some domestic—"

An Feng interrupted him: "Why not world-class?"

Old John smiled: "The cost in this area is a bit high, and our winery has just been established."

An Feng didn't care: "It doesn't matter, the most famous is Robert Parker, right?"

Old John nodded: "Of course it is him. The title of 'Wine Emperor' is well deserved. The industry is accustomed to using Parker Score to compare the quality of red wine."

An Feng had an idea: "I think it's him, and the master's high score is needed to be worthy of the grand press conference I held in May."

An Feng's plan is to hold a wine launch conference in May. At that time, he will invite as many public figures as possible, not necessarily all celebrities. Any wine expert, fashionista, etc. can be invited. Leave your name on the signature wall and take photos to promote it.

Everyone looked at him in amazement, and listening to his description, the scale of this friendly support is probably not smaller than the press conference of a big winery, right? And An's Winery is just a newcomer who is about to show up... An Feng looked at them and said solemnly: "You have to gather big names to produce an advertising effect."

Afterwards, An Feng modestly asked his father-in-law for advice.

Frank has been in this business for more than 20 years. He has a set of experience in press conferences, and he is well-organized. In terms of form and location, he can be divided into high-end and low-end venues, such as bars, wineries or high-end hotels, and the form is noble and glamorous. The big-name model walked a short section of the red carpet and left a style on the stage; or the enthusiastic and unrestrained type, performed a singing and dancing performance... An Feng was so confused that he finally decided to hire a professional planner.

This is the solution for lazy people, but it is also the most efficient.

Afterwards, considering the issue of the invitation, he decided that it would be best a few months in advance, so he called friends from all walks of life, first of all, Roger. This guy had a bit of influence in the circle—it turned out that the relationship was not small. People in the upper class do not have a big circle, and everyone knows each other more or less, so when they shouted slogans, they spread the word, and everyone they knew came, and some unfamiliar friends were brought in.

There is no big problem with the special guests of the press conference, and the next step is to ensure the quality of the wine itself. No matter how loud the advertisement is, if the quality is not good, it will fall into mediocrity sooner or later. An Feng hopes to give this batch of wine a good name through word-of-mouth from the master, and then sell them to all walks of life.

After all, it is a winery named after his surname, no matter what, he should spend some money in exchange for fame.

...

When there are more people, especially when there are children, the house becomes lively.

After being nurtured by the environment and her parents, Xiaoyu can now use some basic spoken English. Of course, with the help of her little friend, the blonde girl Mia taught her a lot of long and short sentences. There are few neighbors around the vineyard, and there are only a few children, so whenever they have time, they laugh and laugh together.

Children learn new languages ​​at the fastest speed. If they haven’t seen each other for a few months, they can tell you and me a sentence. Although some words are still a bit vague, but An Feng listens carefully, it really looks like that ! The environment here is so good, if you stay for a year and a half, you are guaranteed to be proficient.

Of course, children are less interested in learning and more in playing.

Especially when several cows raised on the small farm in the garden gave birth to calves, Coke spoiled the children. An Feng has observed that when the calf is just a few months old, it is very cute, its body has not grown, and its performance in all aspects meets the "round and toot" standard, especially it likes to push people.

The little calf is very interesting. When people shake it in front of it, it will mischievously hit you. Sometimes if you don’t pay attention, this guy has to overturn the obstacles in front of you. On the head of one of the calves, the guy bowed his head and began to exert force.

"Look!" An Feng looked at a few brats who were eager to try, the calf lowered his head and pressed his hand hard, his hind legs stretched straight.

"Uncle (sir), I want to play too!" said the children.

"OK!" An Feng stepped aside, and the little calf walked past him proudly, and then he watched the two children come together to "fight the bull".

Holding his mobile phone, An Feng recorded a video for them, recording these childlike fun, and when he grows up, he can still watch it and laugh.

After the kids had had enough fun and the calves were tired, he led the three guys and their pony back. The three little knights turned over and rode on the pony, leading An Feng in running. He waved to Joanna who was taming the horse in the distance, signaling that he was going back to have dinner.

Back home, the children continued to walk their horses in the yard outside. An Feng walked into the house and heard everyone discussing where to play.

An Feng made a casual opinion: "How about going to a city in the east, New York or something, for a change?"

After hearing this, everyone feels good about New York. It is a bit unreasonable not to see the world's largest city after coming to the United States and spending all day in the West.

My parents and brother-in-law decided to go to New York this Spring Festival.

An Feng naturally had no objection. Anyway, he just wanted to send them away by plane. Now, from the air to the land, and the sea behind, all are private.

After chatting about some plans, there was a burst of yelling outside, and Xiaoyu rushed in with a glass cup, which contained some unknown liquid.

The little girl stood in front of him and handed him the cup: "Uncle, I'll give you something to drink."

"What is this?" An Feng smelled a familiar smell.

"Red wine." The little girl said.

"This color..." An Feng frowned, brat! This is clearly horse urine, okay?

This girl is going against the heavens. When the family members found out about her feat, they had mixed expressions. The elder sister pulled her face: "If you don't do good things, why use a cup to hold horse urine?"

The little girl said aggrievedly: "It was what my uncle and grandpa said yesterday. The wine glass is filled with horse urine. Children can't drink it. I saw that you all drink very little. Today I saw a bear (pony) peeing." , I’ll go pretend so much and come back for you.”

An Feng was stunned, and turned to look at everyone: "Is this what you mean if you don't die, you won't die?"

Everyone can't laugh or cry, you said you want to blame the girl, they made this joke yesterday, if you don't say it, why don't you treat red wine like a horse from now on? After everyone laughed, explain to the little girl seriously again, and then translate to her little friend, and the truth came out.
