Dong Qiangqiang quickly set up his car and hurried up to meet him.
The tall and thin old man stood still, bowed slightly and said, "Count Wagner has been waiting for you for a long time."
Dong Qiangqiang had always mentioned "him" when he was introduced by Fleischer, so he took it for granted that the tall and lanky old man was the owner of the winery. After hearing what he said, he realized that the owner was someone else.
"Please come with me." After the old man said that, he turned and walked towards the castle.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of shaking hands or greetings, Dong Qiangqiang shut his mouth knowingly and followed the old man quickly.
Before coming here, he had never thought that the winery could be an old castle. This was the first time he had entered an old castle in his life, and everything he saw was new.
As soon as he walked into the door, the first thing Dong Qiangqiang saw was a bronze bust statue.
The statue wears a South German-style multi-feathered felt hat. Under the brim is a pair of alert and alert eyes, staring eagerly ahead. There is a shotgun slung behind its back. It looks like it is a hunter.
"Please come this way." The tall and thin man urged not far behind the statue.
The two walked through the corridors and halls. After admiring a bunch of oil paintings and more statues, Dong Qiangqiang quickly stood in the center of a living room.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch the earl right away." After saying this, the tall and lanky man turned and walked out of the room.
Dong Qiangqiang looked around at the furnishings in the house. In addition to a few cloth-covered sofas, there was a coffee table, a large desk and a few low cabinets placed against the wall. The house was very simple and even a little shabby, and it could not be seen as the home of an earl at all.
Among the four walls of the entire house, only one has a landscape painting: Under the setting sun, beside the sparkling lake, a man carrying a shotgun stands sideways under a tree, looking into the distance. Half of the people beside him A few dog heads or tails were vaguely visible in the tall grass.
Dong Qiangqiang was looking at the painting intently when he heard someone behind him say: "This is my great-grandfather, Wagner III."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't hear the footsteps behind him at all. He turned around hurriedly and saw an old woman with white hair standing at the door, looking at him with a serious look.
Dong Qiangqiang smiled sheepishly and took a quick look at the other person as he walked into the room.
I saw that the white-haired woman had a protruding forehead, deep-set eye sockets, high cheekbones, and no flesh on her cheeks. She was thinner than the previous man. If the wind was strong, she might be blown into the air.
Dong Qiangqiang originally thought that Fleischer's friend would be about the same age as him, but he didn't expect that the other person looked like Fleischer's elder, and she was also a countess.
"Oh, hello," Dong Qiangqiang said proactively, "My name is Dong Qiangqiang. Mr. Fleischer said that you need manpower to clean up the troublemakers in the vineyard."
"Ahem, sit down." The white-haired woman looked at Dong Qiangqiang with suspicious eyes. At the same time, she waved her hand down and motioned Dong Qiangqiang to sit down, and said, "He told me, but I thought he would send two Come over here from a guy from this place."
"I'm sorry, what is your name?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"Count Telina I." The old woman was sitting on the sofa. Although her face was haggard, she did have an air of calmness and self-restraint in her brows.
"That's right, Mr. Fleischer is very good at breeding, but not very good at hunting. Because you mentioned to him that a lot of wild animals have come to your garden recently, so Mr. Fleischer specially entrusted me with Come here and see if I can help you relieve your troubles." Dong Qiangqiang knew not to be too modest when talking to Germans, so although he spoke politely, he did not forget to emphasize that he was specially "invited" by Fleischer.
"So, you are a hunter?" Jelina looked Dong Qiangqiang up and down, shook her head and said, "You don't look like a hunter at such a young age. Are you alone... ahem, or do you have a team?"
Dong Qiangqiang was worried that if he told the truth, the order might be lost, so he immediately replied: "Of course we have a team. I just came over today to understand the situation and formulate a hunting plan." Dong Qiangqiang did not mention that he was not a hunter.
"Local hunters have come here before, but they can't do anything about these (wild animals). Seeing that you are young, do you have any hunting experience before?"
Dong Qiangqiang smiled slightly: "Of course, I helped Mr. Fleischer catch a few wild boars before."
"How many have you caught?" Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's thin figure, Jelena didn't believe it, "Then you are really good."
Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Dong Qiangqiang was not angry and said with a smile: "Yes, and I caught him alone. You can ask Mr. Fleischer. I believe it may be better for him to tell you."
Jelina stared at Dong Qiangqiang for a while, and suddenly said: "My family has managed this winery for more than a hundred years, and the reason why it is famous is because of the precious grape varieties in the garden. I don't care Are you alone or several people? I only have one request, which is to drive away or arrest all those who steal grapes. Ahem... Do you understand?"
"No problem." After several arrests, Dong Qiangqiang became more and more confident, "But I need to see the environment of the vineyard first."
Telina waved her hand impatiently and said in a weak voice: "Johnson...ahem...he will show you."
Dong Qiangqiang took out two contracts from his schoolbag and gently placed them on the coffee table in front of Jelena: "This is our company's standard contract, please take a look."
Telina didn't even raise her eyelids, as if she didn't hear him at all.
Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Dong Qiangqiang could only push the contract in front of her: "We usually pay according to the number of prey captured and not by weight. If the caught wild boar is a wild boar, the charge is 2,500 marks. If it is an ordinary wild boar, the fee is 2,500 marks." pig……"
Before he finished speaking, Telina suddenly looked irritated and bored: "Don't tell me these... ahem, for the details, you go to Johnson (tell). I only want my grapes to be intact, and you can do anything else." Don't tell me. Get out, get out now. Cough...cough..."
Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled. In his opinion, he should talk to B about money matters, but the other party didn't pay attention to him at all. It seems that the German brain circuit is quite strange.
Telina coughed violently again, and the sound was very hard, as if her lungs were about to be coughed out.
Seeing the other party like this, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to put away the contract angrily and changed his words: "Okay, I'll go find Mr. Johnson to find out the situation."
With a more violent cough, Telina swayed like a piece of paper. Dong Qiangqiang saw that her face was pale and she seemed to faint at any time, so he did not dare to delay and hurried out of the living room.
The tall and lanky old man Johnson led Dong Qiangqiang out of the back door of the castle.
"Well, it's all here." Johnson then pointed to several other hills and said, "It's all there and there."
Seeing the area designated by the other party, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but click his tongue: the area of this vineyard is not much smaller than Fleisher's stocking forest.
He carefully observed the environment around the vineyard for a while, and suddenly wondered: "Why doesn't your vineyard have a fence or fence? With a fence, wouldn't it prevent animals from entering the garden and eating?"
"I haven't seen that thing you're talking about since I came to this place," Johnson muttered.
"Then why not pretend?" Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled. "When the grapes are ripe, they will slowly ferment and produce alcohol, which can easily attract animals to eat." Dong Qiangqiang thought of the first wild boar he caught.
"The Earl doesn't like it," Johnson shrugged. "And no winegrower here has ever heard of anyone pretending to do that."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: If there are no basic protective measures, it is not surprising that it becomes a canteen for wild animals.
After looking at the surrounding environment again, Dong Qiangqiang slowly felt something in his mind. He turned around and asked, "Jelina said that I would like to discuss the expenses with you."
"Yes. The count told me. You can give me the number."
"A wild boar costs 2,500 marks. A wild boar costs 1,500 marks. For other animals, it depends on the situation."
"No problem." Johnson agreed.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even repay the price. Not to mention how regretful he felt, he would have paid more if he had known it.
He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you don't have wolves or bears here, do you?"
