For lunch, the kitchen prepared everything according to Gu Siyu's order. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Gu Siyu had a good appetite and ate two bowls of rice in a row.
"I'm so full! It's so sunny at noon, otherwise I'd like to go out for a walk."
Qin Haotian leaned over and gently kissed the remaining soup on the corner of Gu Siyu's mouth. "I'll take you to the vineyard. It's quite cool there."
Gu Siyu stood up happily and said, "Then let's go now!"
The vineyard was just behind the manor. Qin Haotian took Gu Siyu directly through the back door and arrived in a few steps.
As soon as you enter, you will see grape vines entangled together above your head. Although the midday sun is very scorching, only sporadic sunlight shines through the gaps. Standing under the grape racks, you will not be exposed to the sun at all, and you can also taste the grapes above your head at any time.
"Wow! That's a lot of grapes! Can I eat them directly?"
The sweet smell of grapes in the air made Gu Siyu swallow hard.
Qin Haotian casually picked a bunch and began to eat it. "Sure, I didn't ask them to use pesticides. I developed this mountain on a whim, not with any intention of making a lot of money, so I asked them to be very strict about the quality. As for the yield, that's up to fate."
Gu Siyu also picked a bunch and sat on a rattan chair to savor it slowly.
"So sweet! So juicy! Are all the grapes here made into wine?"
Qin Haotian nodded and said, "I'll only keep some for my family, and make the rest into wine. I even have a wine cellar downstairs!"
Gu Siyu's eyes lit up. Although there was no sunlight under the grape trellis, it was still a little hot. But if the wine cellar was underground, it would be much cooler!
"I want to go see the wine cellar, is that convenient?"
Qin Haotian laughed dumbly, rubbed Gu Siyu's head, and said, "What's convenient or inconvenient? This is your home. Let's go, I'll show you the way."
Gu Siyu happily picked a few more bunches of grapes and planned to take them to the bottom of the wine cellar to eat.
"Okay! Is the wine cellar full of wine made here?"
Qin Haotian said as he walked: "Some of it is made of fine wine, and some of it is famous wines I collected from all over the world. What kind of wine do you like to drink? I can build a special wine cellar for you."
Gu Siyu shook her head and said a little embarrassedly: "When I was little, I secretly drank my adoptive father's rice wine. It was so spicy that it made me cry. After that, I never drank any other wine again."
Qin Haotian smiled and comforted her, "It's okay. I still have some green plum wine here. It's sour and sweet, and the alcohol content is very low. You can try it later."
Gu Siyu instantly became energetic and couldn't wait to push Qin Haotian forward to lead the way.
"That's great, take me there!"
The entrance to the wine cellar is at the end of the vineyard. There used to be a cave there, and Qin Haotian had someone dig a cellar underneath.
Firstly, the cave has only an entrance but no exit, making it difficult to guard.
Secondly, the temperature in the cave is low, which is very suitable for storing wine.
There was a guard in a suit and tie standing at the entrance of the cave. When he saw Qin Haotian coming, the guard hurried forward to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Haotian nodded and said, "Open the door! I want to go down to the cellar."
After the guard enters the password, he unlocks the door with his face and fingerprint at the same time.
"Okay."
As the electric door opened, Qin Haotian took Gu Siyu to the cellar.
The cellar is at the bottom of the cave, and it is indeed much cooler here than upstairs!
Gu Siyu put the grapes on the fruit plate and looked around carefully.
The cellar here is so huge that you can hardly see the end of it.
Rows of wine racks are neatly arranged, with the brand and year of the wine written on each row of shelves.
There are Martell, Hennessy, Remy Martin, XO...
All the famous wines can be found here!
"That's too much! How long would it take to find a particular wine?"
Qin Haotian smiled and typed "green plum wine" on a screen. A slide fell from the ceiling and landed on one of the wine racks.
There was a bottle of wine inside, which was clamped to the tray on the slide. As the slide moved, the tray slid steadily in front of Qin Haotian.
"This is plum wine. I'll drink some with you."
Gu Siyu was extremely curious and followed suit by typing "green plum wine" on the screen. Another bottle of green plum wine fell onto the tray. With the movement of the slide rail, the tray appeared steadily in front of Gu Siyu.
"This is amazing! I never thought artificial intelligence could be installed under a cave!"
Qin Haotian poured a glass of green plum wine and handed it to Gu Siyu, "How does it taste?"
Gu Siyu picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed sour and sweet, and tasted great!
"It's delicious! Pour me another glass!"
Qin Haotian only poured half a cup this time and reminded: "Drink slowly. Although the green plum wine has a low alcohol content, you will still get drunk if you drink it too quickly."
Gu Siyu looked at the half-full wine glass and said dissatisfiedly, "The wine glass is small to begin with, and you only poured me half a glass. I haven't even tasted it yet and it's gone!"
Qin Haotian reluctantly filled it up again, "I'm afraid you'll get drunk and have a headache the next day."
Gu Siyu drank half a cup with a bitter heart, but still felt unsatisfied. She tried every possible way to ask for more wine. "Is this just plum wine? Do you have the peach blossom wine mentioned in the storybook?"
Qin Haotian nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to drink slowly."
Gu Siyu immediately agreed, "Okay, then take it out quickly."
Qin Haotian tapped on the screen, and soon a bottle of peach blossom wine appeared on the table.
"Try this and see how it tastes. Is the green plum wine better or the peach blossom wine? If you like it, I'll have someone make more."
Gu Siyu drank the whole cup of wine in three sips. "The aromas of peach blossom wine and green plum wine are different. Peach blossom wine is a little more fragrant, while green plum wine is more refreshing. I think they each have their own advantages!"
Qin Haotian poured him another glass and started peeling grapes. "Eat some grapes first and drink the wine slowly. We are all here anyway and won't run away."
Gu Siyu opened her mouth and let Qin Haotian feed her grapes.
"But this is my first time here, so you should let me taste some of your homemade wine, right?"
Qin Haotian scratched Gu Siyu's nose lovingly, "Little greedy cat, you are greedy for everything except me, and you are not afraid of me getting jealous!"
Gu Siyu's face flushed red, and she pouted and said, "Why are you saying such dirty words in broad daylight?"
Qin Haotian snorted and laughed, "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here, and you are still my wife. I just want to get some benefits for myself."
Gu Siyu didn't know how to respond, so she looked around and said, "You only let me have two glasses of any wine. How stingy!"
Qin Haotian smiled brightly, took out a tall glass, and poured a third of it, "Are you satisfied now?"
Gu Siyu imitated what she saw on TV, shook the glass, then put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. Finally, she took a sip and slowly said:
"It has a bold aroma, rich fruit flavor, good body, and fine tannins. Very good!"
