On the hillside, there is a touch of purple here and there.
There are not many wild grapes, just a few scattered plants.
Ye Liuqing walked to the wild grape plant closest to her, pinched a small purple one and put it in her mouth.
Wow, so sour.
Ye Liuqing's little face wrinkled with jealousy.
The wild ones are different and have more flavor.
Ye Liuqing looked around.
This is the back of a mountainside. There are no trees blocking the view. It is a large open space with many bushes and occasional gravel.
Under the sunlight, these bushes present a vibrant scene. They grow lushly, as if covering the hillside with a green coat.
The purple wild grapes are like little eyes dotted among the green, sparkling and full of vitality.
The fact that these wild grapes can grow here shows that this is a place suitable for growing wild grapes.
To be honest, although these grapes grow wild in the mountains and are a little small, they actually look really good.
Each one is round and full, not shriveled at all.
As for taste, the acidity of the grapes is not a big problem.
Why?
Because these grapes are not for eating, Ye Liuqing plans to use them to make wine.
The taste of wine is related to the sweetness and sourness of grapes.
The sweeter the grapes, the less suitable they are for making wine.
The sour ones are actually better.
The one in front of me is indeed a bit sour, but given the current situation, it is already good enough to be able to find a wild grape that grows on its own without having to spend money to buy it.
Is it sour?
There is always a problem to be solved.
Wine, try brewing it first.
As for what kind of wine can be made from the wild grapes here, Ye Liuqing himself doesn't know.
You can't become fat in one bite.
Anyway, let’s give it a try first!
Being able to produce wine is the first step to success. Improving the quality will come later!
It’s all money, it’s just a matter of how much.
Ye Liuqing hummed a little song and picked grapes happily.
By the time Ye Liuqing had finished plucking all the wild grapes from these bushes, the basket was full.
Ye Liuqing originally wanted to put these wild grapes directly into the space.
However, when he thought of the little animals he had just thrown into the space, Ye Liuqing hurriedly took a few more steps, walked to a big ravine, and released them all.
After making sure that there were no snakes or insects in the space, Ye Liuqing put the basket of grapes he had just picked into the space.
After thinking for a while, she dug up another wild grape and threw it into the space.
If the wine made from these wild grapes doesn't taste good, then she will try to graft them.
Cultivate new varieties of grapes.
She still knows how to do simple grafting.
It may take a little long, but Ye Liuqing can wait.
After picking the wild grapes, Ye Liuqing continued walking along the valley.
She wanted to see if there were any more grapes inside.
If wild grapes grow here, they may grow in other places as well!
The closer we got to the valley, the more purple bunches of wild grapes appeared sporadically.
There is a pile of purple strings in the east, a pile of purple strings in the west, strings here, strings there. It is a little sparse, but if you pick them up here and there, there are quite a few.
The joy on Ye Liuqing's face never stopped.
As you walk along, you can pick wild grapes.
Ye Liuqing was beginning to wonder if he had disturbed Ye Pu Tao's well-being.
OK!
It's just amazing.
Ye Liuqing picked and tasted the fruits as he walked.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!
How can you become a qualified winemaker without tasting these grapes?
Ye Liuqing was ready to be jealous to death.
However, the expected sour taste did not come.
This tastes much better than the wild grapes just now.
It's sour and sweet, and Ye Liuqing can accept this taste.
The wild grapes in this valley are different from those on the hillside just now.
Ye Liuqing tasted several different grapes, and the taste was quite different from before.
The sourness becomes weaker and the sweetness becomes stronger.
The sweetness of grapes is not only related to the variety, but also has a lot to do with the climate.
This valley receives sunlight for a longer period of time, so the grapes grown here are sweeter.
Compared with the grapes before, the sweetness and acidity of the grapes here are definitely more suitable.
Ye Liuqing thought for a moment and took out a bucket from the space.
This bucket was stuffed in there by Ye Liuqing when he went to the army.
After she came back, she forgot to take it out.
Now, just in time.
Ye Liuqing picked another bucket of wild grapes.
After picking them, I dug up another wild grape vine as before.
Next, Ye Liuqing picked a wild grape and tasted it every few steps.
If he encountered one that tasted different from the previous ones, Ye Liuqing would stop, pick a bucket of it, and then dig up another one.
Anyway, she had placed a few buckets in the space before.
Come to think of it, it should be enough.
At worst, the basket where I used to store eggs and leeks is still there, which is enough.
After Ye Liuqing wandered around in the mountains for an unknown amount of time, until the sun was about to set, he finally finished visiting the area where wild grapes grew.
Ye Liuqing picked three different flavors of grapes in total and also pulled out the plants of these three different flavors of grapes.
She marked them one by one.
When he got home, Ye Liuqing used these three grapes with different sweetness to make wine.
After the wine is brewed, Ye Liuqing will focus on cultivating the type of grape that tastes the best.
That's not enough.
Ye Liuqing felt that he had to find other grapes to try.
But there's no rush now.
After working for most of the day, it was getting late.
The sun slowly sank to the west, its orange afterglow pouring down on the mountains, as if covering them with a gorgeous coat. The mountains undulated like a giant dragon winding its way, disappearing into the distant horizon.
The sunset is beautiful.
Watching the ant-sized people packing up their farm tools and returning home at the foot of the mountain, it was time for Ye Liuqing to go back.
Looking at the setting sun, Ye Liuqing rubbed his sore waist and legs, feeling that it was not easy for him!
If this wine is ever produced in the future, she must be the one to name it.
It’s definitely thanks to her legs, which are almost broken from running, that she can produce so many varieties of grapes.
