The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 279: Wooden Bottle, Pottery Bottle and Jade Bottle

Levis not only sent his tutor Frank, but he also personally rushed to Flower Town.  Liszt, the flower brewing has been improved successfully?

Of course, you can taste it yourself.

I cant miss this.

Three kinds of flower wine that can be sold on the market have been sent to the castle  so Levis can taste each one.

The first thing he drank was the third grade, that is, the lowest grade of fresh flower wine. When the liquor was introduced, his eyes immediately lit up. Not bad, it is pure and tasteless. It can be sold!

He then drank the second grade of fresh flower wine. This one tastes better, but this wine is a little soft.

Finally, the highest-grade fresh flower wine was brewed. After drinking it, he enjoyed it for three minutes before getting excited. Its really good wine! Liszt, we are rich. The quality of fresh flower wine is by no means inferior to that of gin. These are two kinds of white spirits with different tastes. Fresh flower wine is more suitable for nobles to drink.

His evaluation was similar to that of Gorts, who saw the vast market behind the flower liquor brew.

So next, we should discuss how to expand the brewing scale and how to sell it on the market. Liszt doesnt like drinking, but he knows very well the booming liquor market.

Alcohol might not be a cure-all, but in the time it works, it can paralyze the senses and relieve all pain and stress. It would let a person escape from all kinds of difficulties and frustrations in reality and enjoy the hazy and peaceful moments as if his soul had been sublimated.

Levis picked up the teacup, trying to make it look like he was not anxious to talk business.

However, his anxious eyes betrayed his thoughts: The sales will be given to me. Coral Island is definitely the dominant producer of fresh flower wine. Red Crab Island can also be a dominant producer. I can sell it to Golden Wheat Ear Island But how do you plan to arrange the production of fresh flower wine?

Ill expand the scale of winemaking workshops and recruit more winemakers and winemaking apprentices. However, Flower Town is understaffed. Brother, you must support me and sell me a batch of your winemakers.

Ill send you ten winemakers immediately! Levis said so with a wave of his hand. But they cant make white wine. You have to teach them the technology.

Liszt had to lay out the ugly details first. Give me their families too, and I will be willing to teach them wine-making techniques.

Levis glared. You still dont believe me Forget it, their families will be sent here as well!

Dont forget about the ingredients. Liquor requires a wide range of brewing materials. Grains, fruits, taro, sweet potatoes can also be used to make wine. However, flowers is mainly made of corn, and I will not change the main wine material in a short time. In the future, we will study other appropriate grain brewing technologies.

Not many corn is planted in Tulip Castle. They dont eat much of it so all will be brought to you!

The little corn in Tulip Castle is not enough. Youd better plant another batch of corn this year and buy a batch of corn from all over the world.

As the saying goes, wine is food.

The wine-making rate of grain is between 25% and 45%, therefore half a catty of wine cannot be produced from a pound of grain. In the event of food scarcity in ancient times, the government will prohibit private brewing to prevent wasting food and expanding the famine.

Because corn is not the staple food of Coral Island, Liszt chose to brew with corn. He may have become an aristocrat, and his buttocks is tied to the ruling class, his heart was still kind. He had no desire  to snatch the only rations serfs get because of the liquor business.

However, no matter how one thinks about it, after all, there will still be a group of serfs rations that will be transferred to brewing wine.

Liszt can only do his best to remind Levis. Brother, winemaking 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.

Levis face was full of  disapproval. Dont worry about such trifles. The serfs have their own officials to make reasonable arrangements. I will ensure enough corn will be available to brew wine and thus will not delay the production of flower wine.

Seeing this, Liszt could only sigh in his heart.

He immediately cast off these compassionate thoughts and said, Iron, I still need a batch of iron, at least 10,000 catties to make wine-making utensils.

Didnt you just get 13,000 kilos of iron from Tulip Castle?

I bought those myself, and the brewery will supply the raw materials according to the agreement.

Liszt, I cant get any more iron. You will have to extract it from the Tulip Castle warehouse. In that case, the profits will then have to be shared to other people. Levis let out a frown.

Brother, it is right to be given a share of profits. The flower brew is certainly a deal between us, but if we leave others behind, Father may not say it on the face, but he will definitely  complain in his heart.

You are being sarcastic! Levis was very unhappy. I provided the raw materials, I am responsible for the sales,and I only get 60% of the profits.  You only provide technology, even I have to provide the brewers, yet you still get 40% of the profits. Remember, even the mouths of some people in Tulip Castle will require me to do some things, dont you think its too cruel?

If it werent for my technology, brother, there wont be a  liquor business to attend to. Think about it, once the flower wine is spread around, how many gold coins will it bring in each year and how many magic potions can be made available to you Maybe youll  become a Sky Knight in less than a year.

Levis is 24 years old this year and will soon turn 25.

If he actually becomes a Sky Knight at the age of 25,this will at least prove that his talent is not worse than the Counts.

This hit Levis nerve. He grabbed his hair and gnashed his teeth and nodded. Okay, 13,000 kilos of iron, Im out!  But the fresh flower brew must be produced on a large scale as soon as possible!

Of course, the technology has already matured. Were just waiting for the materials to be prepared. Liszt said the materials for winemaking, and suddenly thought of the packaging problem, How do you plan to sell flower wine?

I sell it the same way I sell gin. The liquor market on Coral Island will only be about the flower wine in the future; I will discuss it with our cousin on Red Crab Island. It will be easy to get them on; on the Golden Wheat Ear Island, I can hand over the sales to Loria for sale. She should be able to eat Golden Wheat Ear Island and New Land Island together.

Liszt became interested. Is Loria sure to be my sister-in-law?

Levis smiled and was very happy. Do you think I was just fighting with all my heart during battles? My dear brother, you still have a lot to learn Marquis Roderick has approved my union with Loria, and I will go to Golden Wheat Ear Island in March to make sure things are settled.

It seems that this matter has been clarified.

Liszt gave a thumbs-up and returned to the topic. There are three grades of fresh flower wine. Do you have any idea how to pack them?

Ill pack them just like gin. I will let the pottery workshop burn a batch of clay pots as wine bottles. Levis replied directly.

No, the flower brew should be distinguished from the gin so that the nobles can see it immediately.

Liszt rejected Levis idea and said, Ten years old fresh flower wine, packed in wooden bottles, carved with a yellow tulip, sells for five to fifteen silver coins, it would occupy the small aristocratic market; Fifty years old fresh flower wine, packed in pottery bottles, carved with a red tulip, sells for 50 to 80 silver coins, will occupy the the middle aristocracy market. The 100-year-old fresh flower wine, packaged in jade bottles and carved with a queen of the night, is as expensive to sell as it is to make and is limited in quantity. It is mainly for high-ranking nobles.

When did you get ten to a hundred year old wine ? Levis was surprised.

Dont worry. Itll be ready later
