Chapter 138 is a little weird

"Baron Gervais, do you have a lot of golden wine?"

When Pat heard this, he was immediately moved. He couldn't wait any longer. With such a delicious wine, it would be fine even if he soaked his whole body in it.

"The quantity is not large, but it should be enough to meet the consumption of the entire earldom!"

Gervais did not deceive Pat on this point, because the grapes are all picked from wild grape vines, and because there is no artificial care and cultivation, even if the entire territory is plundered, there are still about six or seven thousand kilograms of grapes.

Even if some were later purchased from serfs, the total would not exceed 10,000 kilograms.

Ten thousand kilograms of grapes sounds scary, but there will still be losses when making wine. Even if there is no loss, it is not much. The population of the Earl of Jones is over one million. Regardless of whether there is a territory or not, the registered nobles are at least good.

A few thousand, or an average of a few kilograms per person can completely empty Gervais's wine in no time.

What's more, a wealthy little aristocrat like Pat doesn't say much, and even little doesn't mean much. As long as he is favored by them, it is normal for one person to buy dozens or hundreds of kilograms.

"Oh, that's really not much. How much does Baron Gervais plan to sell a pot for?"

Pat's heart finally calmed down slightly. If such delicious golden wine could be brewed and sold year-round like wheat, Gervais would definitely be richer than the Jones family in a few years.

Pat asked a question, but Gervais did not answer immediately because he had just taken another sip of wine and it was difficult to speak because it was in his mouth. So without thinking, he raised his hand and made a 1 gesture, indicating that he was ready to sell it at this price.

.

"1 gold coin per pot?"

When Pat saw Gervais's gesture, he immediately understood that although the price was a little high, it was not expensive. After all, this golden wine was absolutely extraordinary. Rare things are more expensive, so a higher price was acceptable.

Just when Pat guessed the price and was about to say that he wanted to buy 5 bottles of golden wine, he saw Gervais puffing up his cheeks and shaking his head, putting down the silver cup in his hand and making a sign of the cross with both hands.

"Ten gold coins?"

Pat frowned slightly, the price was a bit outrageous.

"Cough! Cough!"

Hearing that Pat's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Gervais almost choked on the wine. He quickly swallowed the wine in his mouth and calmed his breathing before continuing: "10 silver coins!"

"What? 10 silver coins per pot?"

Pat almost stood up from his chair. This Gervais wine was only sold for 10 silver coins a bottle. This was so surprising to him. After all, his expression had made it clear just now that he was ready to buy several bottles even for 1 gold coin a bottle.

, but Gervais did not try to trick him, but instead offered such a low price, which was only slightly more expensive than that top-grade beer.

"Yes, Baron Pat, the price is currently 10 silver coins per bottle. Of course, wine also has quality. 10 silver coins is just a medium level. Other high-quality wines need to be priced later, like the one we are drinking now.

It’s just a medium-quality golden wine.”

Gervais only believes in one rule when doing business, and that is not to cheat customers. Although he also wanted to temporarily increase the price just now, he didn't think it was interesting. After all, there are only a few wealthy young nobles like Pat. If the price is raised again, it is estimated that

At that time, few people in the entire Earldom of Jones can afford it. Wine is not golden oysters. This is a long-term business...

Now it only costs a few gold coins to cheat Pat, but it is not cost-effective to offend a neighboring noble because of these few gold coins.

"Baron Gervais, your noble qualities are beyond anything I have ever seen in my life!"

This sentence is what Pat said from the bottom of his heart. Although most nobles claim to be noble, they often get into the eyes of money. They will never let it go if they can cheat them. Even if they want to steal a copper from others, they will never let it go.

Come down.

"Baron Gervais, I want to buy a barrel of wine, and I can give you the money right now! By the way, there is also high-quality wine, which I also want to buy. Baron Gervase, just tell me how much it costs."

A pot in this world is about 2 liters, and 5 pots are exactly one can, and 5 cans are exactly one barrel. In other words, the barrel Pat wants to buy is actually equivalent to 25 pots of golden wine.

"Baron Pat, I'm sorry. If you want to buy wine, you still have to wait half a month. The brewing process of wine takes time. What we are drinking now was made during my original experiment."

"Do you still need to wait half a month? Then I will wait too, Baron Gervais. I will make a reservation with you first. Please notify me as soon as possible if the golden wine is ready!"

"No problem at all!"

Gervais once again toasted to greet Pat. Unexpectedly, Pat sent him so many gold coins in one visit. Gervais felt that he wanted to be friends with Pat.

"But Baron Pat, you are interested in buying golden oysters and wine, so why aren't you interested in ice cubes and ice cream?"

When Pat tasted the ice cream just now, Gervais also seemed to like it very much when he saw Pat. Why didn't he mention buying these now? This made Gervais feel a little strange, so he asked directly. After all, he was leaving in the next two days.

In addition to seafood, the main products of the caravan are ice cubes and ice cream.

"Uh... Baron Gervais, will you be blamed by the earl for selling ice?"

Gervais' inquiry made Pat a little speechless. It was already difficult to make big money from golden oysters and gold wine. What Pat couldn't figure out was why Gervais still sold the ice cubes that Alice rewarded him with.

"Alice? Why is she blaming me? Is there a law against selling ice?"

Gervais didn't know that Pat was wrong, thinking that his ice cubes were all gifts from Alice. Wine and seafood can be innovative, but ice cubes can only be obtained in winter. No one dares to believe that ice cubes are a gift from Alice.

Blocks can also be crafted directly.

"Ahem! No, of course not! That Baron Gervais, how much is the price of golden ice cream!"

Sure enough, he was confident. Pat couldn't explain it, so he coughed and simply asked for the price, buying some just to show off. After all, Gervais' rapid rise was already foreseeable, and Pat also wanted to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship between him and Gervais.

The relationship between.

"It's not expensive! A jar costs 2 silver coins. If it's ice cubes, 1 silver coin can buy a large piece as big as two copper basins!"

This jar of Gervais was specially customized by Thomas. Each jar can hold about one liter of ice cream, so it’s not too expensive. In order to keep the ice cream warm, Gervais will also provide ice cubes the size of half a copper basin to keep the ice cream warm.

The ice cream won't melt right away.

"No need for ice cubes! I'll just buy a can of ice cream!"

Pat didn't dare to buy more. Alice was his immediate monarch. Gervais was not afraid of her blame, but he was.

"Only one can? Baron Pat, are you sure?"

Gervais always felt that Pat spoke a little strangely, but he couldn't guess what was wrong.

"Then I'll buy two cans?"

Seeing Gervais frowning, Pat thought Gervais was a little unhappy, so he immediately hesitated and said.

"How about...three cans?"

"It's like I'm forcing you to buy it with a musket!"

Gervais was speechless.
