The Defeated Dragon

This chapter adds more rewards for My Horse Feeds the Sheep.

Not only did Levi's send his tutor Frank, but he also came to Flower Town himself: Liszt, has the technology of flower brewing been successfully improved?

Of course, you can taste it yourself.

I can't miss that.

There are three kinds of fresh flower brews that can be sold on the market, and many of them have been sent to the castle, so Levi's can taste fresh flower brews in the castle.

He drank the third grade first, which is the lowest grade fresh flower brew. When the baijiu was in his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately: Well, that's right, it's pure and free of odors, and it can be sold!

Then drink the second-grade fresh flower brew: This one has a better taste, but the strength of the wine is a bit soft.

Finally, there was the highest grade fresh flower brew. After drinking it, he lingered for three minutes before expressing his excited emotion: It's really good wine! Liszt, we've made a fortune, and the quality of fresh flower brew is by no means inferior to gin. This is Two kinds of liquor with different tastes, fresh flowers are more suitable for noble banquets!

His evaluation is similar to that of Gao Ertai, and they all see the vast market behind the flower stuffing.

So next, it's time to discuss how to expand the brewing scale and how to sell it on the market. Liszt doesn't like drinking, but he is very aware of the boom in the liquor market.

Alcohol may not be a panacea, but for the time it works, it numbs the senses and relieves all pain and stress. Let people escape from all kinds of difficulties and frustrations in reality, and enjoy the moment of obscurity and tranquility, as if the soul has been sublimated.

Reeves picked up his teacup, trying to make himself look less urgent.

But the anxious eyes still betrayed his thoughts: Leave the sales to me. Coral Island is definitely dominated by Huahua Brew, and Red Crab Island will also be dominated by Huahua Brew. I can also sell to Golden Island... But How do you plan to arrange the production of fresh flowers?

Expand the scale of the winemaking workshop and recruit more winemakers and winemaking apprentices. Huahua Town is short of manpower. Brother, you have to support me and sell a batch of your winemakers to me.

I'll give you ten winemakers directly! Levi waved his hand, But none of them know how to brew liquor, and you have to teach them the technology.

Liszt put the ugliness first: Give me their family members, so I am willing to teach them wine-making techniques.

Levi's glared: You still don't believe me... Forget it, their family members will be sent here too!

Don't forget about the materials. There are a wide range of materials for brewing baijiu. Grains, fruits, taro, and sweet potatoes can all be used to make wine. However, corn is mainly used for flower brewing. I will not change the main wine brewing materials in a short time. In the future, we will study other grain brewing techniques as appropriate.

Tulip Castle doesn't grow much corn, but it also eats less, so I'll send it to you!

The corn in Tulip Castle alone is not enough. You'd better plant another batch of corn this year, and buy a batch of corn from various places.

As the saying goes, wine is food**.

The wine yield of grain is between 25% and 45%, and a catty of grain cannot make half a catty of wine. In the case of insufficient food in ancient times, the government would prohibit private wine making to prevent wasting food and expanding famine.

It is precisely because corn is not the staple food of Coral Island that Liszt chose to use corn to make wine—he may have become an aristocrat, with his ass in the ruling class, but he still has kindness in his heart. I don't want to take away the little rations that the serfs on the island have because of the liquor business.

However, no matter how you think about it, there will still be a group of serf rations that will be diverted to brew wine.

He could only try his best to remind: Brother, brewing wine will waste a lot of food. I hope to buy corn from the outer islands as much as possible, or give certain tax subsidies to the serfs who grow corn.

Levi's expression was disapproving: Don't worry about such trivial matters. The serf affairs will be arranged reasonably by the officials. I will ensure that there is enough corn for you to make wine, and the production of fresh flowers will not be delayed.

Seeing this, Liszt could only sigh in his heart.

Immediately throwing away these compassionate thoughts, he said, Iron, I still need a batch of iron, at least 10,000 catties, for making wine-making utensils.

Didn't you just get 13,000 catties of iron from Tulip Fort?

I bought those myself, and the brewery will provide you with raw materials according to the agreement.

Less, I can't take out so much iron, so I have to extract it from the warehouse of Tulip Castle. In that case, the liquor profits will definitely be shared by others. Levi frowned.

Brother, it's right to share the profits. Flower brewing is certainly a transaction between the two of us, but if we leave other people behind, my father may not say it on the face, but he will complain in his heart.

You are making sarcastic remarks! Levi's was very upset, I provide the raw materials, and I am responsible for the sales, which only account for 60% of the profits. You only provide the technology, and even the winemaker is sent by me, so I share 40% of the profits. Now, Don't you think it's too cruel for me to take care of the mouths of other people in Tulip Castle?

If it weren't for my technology, brother, you wouldn't be able to do the liquor business even if you wanted to. Think about it, once the fresh flower brewing is spread out, how much profit in gold coins can be brought every year, and how many potions can be added to you... Maybe it won't cost you a fortune. Years, you can become a sky knight.

Levi's is 24 years old this year and will be 25 in a year.

If he can really become a sky knight at the age of 25, at least it proves that his talent is no worse than the Earl.

These words hit Levi's nerves, he scratched his hair, gritted his teeth and nodded: Okay, I'll sell 13,000 catties of iron, but fresh flowers must be mass-produced as soon as possible!

Of course, the technology is already mature, we just need to wait for the materials to be ready. After Liszt finished talking about the materials for wine making, he suddenly thought of the packaging issue, How do you plan to sell flower wine?

I will sell gin as I sell it. From now on, the baijiu market on Coral Island will only be made from fresh flowers; on Red Crab Island, I will discuss it with my cousin, and it is easy to get it; on Golden Island, I can give it to Luo Liya for sale. She should be able to eat the Golden Island and Xindi Island together.

Liszt became interested: Are you sure Luo Liya will become my sister-in-law?

Levi's smiled happily, Did you think that during the development order, I was only focused on fighting? My dear brother, you still have a lot to learn... Marquis Roderick has approved my union with Loria, I 3 Yue will go to Golden Island to finalize the matter.

It seems that this matter has become clear.

Liszt gave a thumbs up and returned to the topic: There are three grades of flower stuffing. Have you thought about how to pack it?

Whatever to pack, just the same as gin, I will ask the pottery workshop to fire a batch of clay pots as wine bottles. Levi's replied directly.

That's not right. Fresh flower wine should be differentiated from gin so that nobles can understand it at a glance.

Liszt vetoed Levi's idea, saying: Ten years of flower brewing, packed in wooden bottles, carving a yellow tulip, priced at five to fifteen silver coins, occupying the small noble market; fifty years of flower brewing, packed in pottery bottles , carved a red tulip, priced at 50 to 80 silver coins, occupying the market of middle-class aristocrats; brewed with century-old flowers, packed in jade bottles, carved a black tulip, how expensive it is, limited edition, mainly for high-level nobles.

Where did you get the 10-year or 100-year-old wine? Levi asked in surprise.

Don't worry, it will be brewed later...
