The Defeated Dragon

This chapter is a reward plus more for "Horse feeding sheep”.

Not only did Livius send his tutor, Frank, but he himself came to Flower Town: "Lester, has flower brewing improved technology been successful? ”

“Sure, you can try it yourself. ”

“I can't miss that. ”

Three flower brews are available for sale and have been sent to the castle, so Reeves can taste them in the castle.

The first drink is the third grade, that is, the lowest grade of flower brewing, the entrance to white wine, his eyes immediately shine: “Well, that's good, it's pure and free of clutter and can be sold! ”

Drink a second grade of flower brew: “This taste is better, it's just a little soft. ”

Finally, the finest flower brew, after drinking it, he tasted it all for three minutes before sending an exciting emotion: “What a great wine! Lester, we're rich, and the quality of flower brewing is never lost in gin. These are two different flavors of white wine, flower brewing is more suitable for noble dining! ”

His reviews are similar to those of Gaultai, and he sees the vast market behind flower brewing.

“So next, we'll talk about how to scale up the brewing and how to market it.” Lester doesn't like to drink, but he knows very well the explosion in the white wine market.

Alcohol is perhaps not a magic potion, but it can paralyze people's senses and relieve all pain and stress during the time it works. Let people escape the difficulties and frustrations of reality and enjoy the moment of obscurity and tranquillity, as if the soul had been elevated.

Reeves picked up the cup and wanted to make himself look less urgent.

But the anxious look betrayed his mind: “Sell it to me, Coral Island is definitely a unique flower brew, Red Crab Island will also be a unique flower brew, Golden Island I can sell it... but how do you plan to arrange the production of flower brew? ”

“Increase the size of the winemaking workshop, recruit more winemakers and apprentices, the town of flowers is understaffed, brother you have to support me and sell me a batch of winemakers under your command. ”

“I'll give you ten winemakers directly!” Reeves waves, "but they don't make white wine, and you have to teach them the technology. ”

Lester started off by saying, “Give me their family, too, so I can teach them winemaking skills. ”

Livius glanced at him: “You still don't believe me... Forget it, their family sent it along! ”

“And don't forget that white wine is made from a wide range of ingredients, grains, fruits, potatoes, and watermelons. Flowers, however, are mainly poppy, and I will not be changing the main ingredients in the short term, and other cereal winemaking techniques will be studied as appropriate in the future. ”

“Tulip Chamberlain doesn't grow much poppy, but it doesn't have much to eat, so bring it to you! ”

“Just a little poppy in Tulip Chateau isn't enough, you'd better grow another batch of poppy this year and buy a batch of poppy from all over the place. ”

As the saying goes, wine is food * *.

Food yields range from 25 to 45 per cent, and a kilo of food does not produce half a kilo of wine. Where ancient foods are not enough, the government forbids the private brewing of alcohol, preventing food waste and spreading famine.

It is precisely because poppy is not the staple food on Coral Island that Lester chooses to make wine from poppy - he may have become a nobleman and his ass is crooked in the ruling class, but he is still benevolent. I don't want to take away the island's only little food from the serfs because of the liquor business.

However, at the end of the day, there will be a group of serfs' rations that will be moved to make wine.

He can only try to remind: "Brother, winemaking wastes a lot of food, and I want to try to buy poppy from the outer islands, or give some tax subsidies to farmers who grow poppy. ”

Reeves didn't think so: “Don't worry about this little thing. The serfdom thing is reasonably arranged by the officials themselves, and I will make sure that the poppy rice is well supplied for you to make wine without delaying the production of flowers. ”

See, Lester can only sigh in the heart.

"Iron, I need another batch of iron, at least 10,000 pounds, to make the wine. ”

“Didn't you just get 13,000 kilos of iron from Tulip Castle? ”

“I bought those myself, and the winemaking workshop was agreed by you to provide the raw materials. ”

“Less, I can't get this much iron out of the warehouse at Tulip Chateau. In that case, the profits of liquor must be separated.” Livius frowned.

“Brother, it is right to be separated from the profits, flower brewing is a deal between the two of us, but if we leave the others behind, the father may not say anything, but there will be complaints in his heart. ”

“You're the wind!” Livius was very upset, "I supplied the ingredients, I was responsible for selling them, you made 60% of the profits, you only provided the technology, I even sent the winemakers, you split 40% of the profits. Now, even the mouth of the rest of Tulip Chamberlain wants me to punch something, don't you think it's cruel? ”

“If it wasn't for my technology, brother, you wouldn't be able to do the liquor business. Think about how many gold coins a year can make and how many magic potions a flower brew can add to you once it's spread... maybe less than a year, you can be a Sky Knight. ”

Livius is 24 years old, 25 a year later.

If he could really be a Sky Knight at the age of 25, at least prove that his talent is no worse than that of the Count.

It picked Levi's nerves, and he grabbed his hair and nodded his teeth: "Okay, 13,000 kilos of iron, I'm out, but flower brewing, must be produced on a massive scale as soon as possible! ”

“Of course, the technology is ripe, just waiting for the material to be ready.” Lister said the ingredients for the wine and suddenly thought about the packaging, "How are you going to sell the flowers? ”

“I sell gin as much as I want. The white wine market on Coral Island will only have flowers in the future; I will consult my cousin on Red Crab Island and take it easy; Gold Island can be sold to Loria and she should be able to eat Gold Island and New Territories Island together. ”

Lister came to me with an interest: "Is Loria sure she'll be my sister-in-law? ”

Livius hey hey smile, eyebrow dance: “Do you think I was just at war during the pioneering order, my dear brother, you still have a lot to learn... Marquis Roderick has approved my union with Loria and I will go to Golden Island in March to make things right. ”

It seems that this has become clear.

Lester thumbs up and goes back to the theme: "There are three varieties of flower brewing, how do you want to pack them? ”

“Whatever you pack, just like gin, I'll let the pottery shop burn a batch of pottery as a bottle.” Reeves replied directly.

“No, flower brewing should be distinguished from gin to give the aristocrat a glance. ”

Lester rejected Levi's idea, saying: "Ten years of flowers, wrapped in wooden bottles, carved a yellow tulip, sold for five to fifteen silver coins, occupied the small aristocratic market; fifty years of flowers, wrapped in pottery bottles, carved a red tulip, sold for fifty to eighty silver coins, occupied the middle aristocratic market; a hundred-year of flowers, wrapped in jade bottles, carved a black tulip, how expensive it was to sell, limited in quantity, dominated by the higher aristocracy. ”

“Where do you come from, 10, 100 years old?” Reeves was surprised.

“Don't worry, you'll make it later...”
