Episode 21

Lu Xiaoying stood in the vineyard, looking at things and thinking about people, and her heart was filled with deep longing for her husband Qi Beishan.She recalled Qi Beishan's love for this land and the efforts and life he devoted to it, and her heart was filled with emotion.Lu Xiaoying said to Ouyang Yixing that a bottle of truly good wine, like life, requires years of tempering and precipitation.Only through the process of separation, taking the essence and discarding the dross, can the charming fragrance of time be emitted.

Qin Heming assigned Zheng Yang to negotiate with Professor Wang. He emphasized that the quality of wine does not only depend on the grapes themselves, but is also closely related to the climate of the production area.However, the meteorological data currently available in production areas are relatively general and lack detailed data support for microclimate.Qin Heming believes that if we want to achieve long-term development of the industry, these key data must be obtained as soon as possible.At the same time, Zheng Yang was most worried about the frost problem, so he discussed with Professor Wang and hoped to prioritize improving the frost early warning capability.

Xie Yong was entrusted by Shi Mingshan to find Gao Yujie alone and had an in-depth conversation.He revealed that eight of his brothers went to the Soviet Union to learn brewing technology, and there was actually a ninth person, Gao Yujie’s father.Due to the early death of Gao's father, the nine of them felt like brothers.Therefore, Shi Mingshan has always shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Gao Yujie, not only teaching her wine-making techniques step by step, but also always paying attention to her growth.However, Shi Mingshan also realized that his care for Gao Yujie might be too thoughtful, which led to her being somewhat narrow-minded and cowardly.

Shi Mingshan was not surprised by Gao Yujie's decision to leave Star Winery.The main reason why Qiu Yihan hired Gao Yujie was to use her to obtain some secret information about Xingxing Winery.Xie Yong told Gao Yujie that although Qiu Yihan was a refined egoist, he was not a heinous person.For Gao Yujie, Edberg Winery is a place where she can grow and experience, which is also the good intention of Shimingshan in arranging her visit.

However, Gao Yujie still had doubts in her heart.She was worried about how she would choose a side if there was a conflict between Edberg Winery and Star Winery in the future.Xie Yong clearly told her that no matter where she is, she should be loyal to her current responsibilities and mission. This is the professional ethics of a winemaker.However, Gao Yujie disappeared for a long time, which made Qiu Yihan furious. She suspected that Gao Yujie went to Xingxing Winery without telling her.Gao Yujie firmly denied this.

Since Yu Han was fired by Liu Lijun, he has been drinking to relieve his sorrows, and his life has fallen into a state of decadence.In order to seek a turning point, Qiu Yihan personally visited Professor Wang, hoping that he could help make an appointment with Liu Lijun.Ouyang Yixing and Qi Lu are busy with various affairs in the vineyard. Although the work is hard, they know that it is of great significance to the entire production area.In the end, both Ouyang Yixing and Qiu Yihan successfully obtained formal contracts with Liu Lijun.However, Liu Lijun's requirements are extremely demanding. She is only willing to purchase Pinot Noir grapes, which are the most difficult to grow, and threatens to use this delicate grape to open up a new path for the production area in the market.

Just as everyone was cautiously waiting for the arrival of the harvest season, a sudden frost brought huge disaster to the production area.Faced with this unexpected situation, Qin Heming took quick action and notified the wineries at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain to activate emergency plans.He organized the masses and the government to work together to harvest grapes and strive to minimize losses.

This frost disaster prompted Qilu to think about how to improve the vineyard's ability to withstand frost.He tried to introduce mechanized vine burial technology to deal with similar situations that may arise in the future.At the same time, Qiu Yihan was unwilling to give up his contract with Liu Lijun because the Pinot Noir grapes had suffered most of the damage.She looked around for alternative raw materials and proposed the condition of sharing these precious raw materials with Ouyang Yixing, provided that Qi Lu must help her make wine.This puts Ouyang Yixing into a dilemma.

Liu Lijun’s assistant saw that many wineries’ Pinot Noir grapes had been affected, and was worried that the wine produced would not be able to meet market requirements.However, Liu Lijun believed that this was an opportunity, and she planned to take this opportunity to eliminate the fittest and select the most trustworthy partners.Zheng Yang was worried that the frost would affect Liu Lijun's cooperation with the winery, but Qin Heming guessed that Liu Lijun had already been prepared.

At the same time, the first phase of the Kangyang Town project was successfully approved and construction will officially start in the middle of this month.Qin Heming announced the list of members of the Kangyang Town leadership group and was full of expectations for the future of the project.

However, in an accident at school, Qin Yao and Zhang Xiaomi had a conflict due to the provocation of a male classmate.Parents from both parties were called to the school to deal with the matter.After understanding the whole story, Qin Heming believed that he had made the child suffer, and the main responsibility should be borne by adults.Qin Yao felt a little aggrieved that her father had paid a lot for the production area but was not understood.Qin Heming comforted her and said that everyone has different positions and opinions, which is normal.

Soon, the construction of Kangyang Town officially started, which made Qin Heming very satisfied.After careful consideration, Ouyang Yixing rejected Qiu Yihan's proposal. Based on her understanding of Liu Lijun, she believed that the other party would not allow the winery to cheat.Leno finally lost his composure and took the initiative to negotiate with Liu Lijun, proposing to provide sufficient preferential conditions on the condition that Liu Lijun ceased all cooperation with the Helan Mountain production area.Liu Lijun decisively refused and asked Lu Xiaoying about Leno's personality. Lu Xiaoying said that he was deeply scheming, did whatever it took to achieve his goals, and was good at using interpersonal relationships.
