The Extraordinary Earl

"Luther, are you planning to get involved in the family's brewing business?"

In Pompeii Castle, in Mrs. Sophie's study, Mrs. Sophie was wearing a delicate light blue dress, showing her good figure, with light makeup on her face, looking mature and beautiful.

She sat behind the desk, folded her hands on the desk, and looked a little serious.

If it is an ordinary family, the son talks to his stepmother like this. The son will definitely have scruples. But luckily this is Pompeii's house.

Luther was not intimidated by Mrs. Sophie's serious expression. He nodded and said, "I feel that the income in the territory is a bit low, and I want to try the brewing industry."

Mrs. Sophie wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and said: "Luther, you have extraordinary talent in agriculture. I believe that in a year or two, Pompeii will be two or three times more prosperous than it is now. You are undoubtedly excellent. But that doesn’t mean you’re good in other areas. The brewing industry is not easy to do.”

After hearing this, Luther's eyes immediately lit up.

It just so happened that he really knew nothing about the brewing industry in this world. The mother's family in front of me is a professional brewer.

Although the business is not very big, it is certainly unique.

Let’s listen to the analysis first.

In particular, Luther needs to understand the types of alcohol in this world. Without that kind of alcohol, the technology Luther masters can be considered a killer move.

"Please mom, tell me."

Luther said.

Mrs. Sophie shook her head. Looking at Luther's appearance, she knew that persuasion was ineffective. But forget it, just let Luther do whatever he wants.

Anyway, with agricultural breakthroughs, Pompeii’s tax revenue will skyrocket this year and next year.

Income from winemaking used to be important, but it's not so important now.

Mrs. Sophie stroked the hair beside her ears and said: "Wine is roughly divided into two types, the wine drunk by common people and the wine drunk by nobles. For example, the manor in our territory brews ale. This is cheap common people's wine. Part of it is sold internally and part is sold externally. We have a shop in the baron's city, but we make some income every year from the brewing process. It’s too simple. There are many people making wine. And the wine sold to the common people cannot be sold at a high price, so that’s it.”

"The second is wine. Unlike common people, wine pays attention to taste. This requires strong technology. The wine produced by powerful wine estates is very popular among nobles and is also expensive. It is called red gold. . Because of this, making wine requires both brewing technology and old brands. The Pompeii family is too small to support the wine business.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sophie was a little helpless.

You can't make much money by brewing low-quality ale. There is neither technology nor brand for making wine, so it is difficult to open the market.

Compared with ale for common people, the profit from wine is really too great.

The big one makes many people jealous.

But the threshold is too high. Generally, those who own old and powerful wine estates are the great nobles. A small noble like Pompeii really couldn't run a business.

This is why Mrs. Sophie does not recommend Luther to get involved in the brewing business. He can't get involved.

"So that's it." Luther pinched his chin, but he had no intention of giving up.

Although it sounds like before the Pompeii family, the brewing business is really unlikely to develop much. But this is for the natives.

We are time travellers, we have technology.

But the technology Luther mastered was not wine technology, and Luther didn't know how to brew it.

Not even able to taste it.

Only those who can drink wine and can even tell the year in which the wine was brewed and which winery it was brewed in are the masters.

Those who know how to drink wine may not necessarily know how to make wine, but those who make wine must know how to drink wine.

After thinking about it, Luther reached out and gestured, and said to Mrs. Sophie: "Mom, I have drunk wine and ale. I would like to ask if there is a kind of wine that is very spicy, strong, and very strong when you drink it. A strong drink?”

That's right, the technology Luther mastered was distilled liquor.

It can be called a “must-have technology for time travellers”.

Of course, this was not because Luther knew that he was going to travel through time, so he went out of his way to find out more about it. Damn it, who knew that he would travel through time.

Luther knew this technique because he had a good friend who was an alcoholic.

He is said to be from all over the world and has drank all kinds of wine.

As for the wine-making technology, he also talks about it clearly. Not only did he speak clearly and logically, he even went to study it.

I am the kind of person who has a lot of time and pain. Luther naturally hated this kind of friend.

Because his friend is a rich man, and only rich people can be so idle.

Anyway, Luther learned about this technology through this friend, the technology of distilling alcohol. Before time travel, Luther didn't care about this technology.

After traveling through time, this technology became much more enjoyable.

He drank the liquor of this era, wine, ale, and other common people's liquor. I have never drunk a high-altitude wine, but the alcohol content is very low.

Liquor with just a hint of alcohol.

Drinking this low-alcohol wine and not getting drunk after a thousand cups is no longer a legend in the world.

If spirits are brewed using distilled liquor technology, the spirits can burn through the entire person. I don’t know whether it will be a best-seller or not, but it will definitely be a major breakthrough for wine making in this world.

You might be able to make a fortune doing this.

However, Luther still didn't know much about the wine in this world. Maybe other places already had that kind of strong wine, strong liquor, but he just hadn't drunk it?

So, Luther needed an expert to confirm it.

Is there such a strong wine, strong liquor in this world?

"Very spicy, very strong?" Mrs. Sophie took a while to digest these two words, because Luther's words were very fresh.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Sophie shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Luther's eyes lit up, and then he bowed to Mrs. Sophie and said, "Mom, please lend me some funds again. I want to produce a new wine. Now I can't describe it. After the finished product is brewed, Mom, you can try it again to see if Pompeii can make a fortune with this new wine."

"New wine?" Mrs. Sophie is a business-minded lady and immediately heard the important words.

In this world where brewing civilian wine can't make money, brewing wine requires both technology, funds, and fame, the winemaking industry is a business that will make everyone despair.

But with new wine, it may be different.

Mrs. Sophie remembered that this good guy had invented the plow before, and maybe he had some ideas in mind.

"How much does it cost?" Mrs. Sophie asked.
