"Brew-making competition? Nalant, do you want to participate?" Heita heard the words and immediately asked curiously.
"I do want to participate, but I don't know what this competition is about yet, so I need to find you to have a smell!" Nalant was also straightforward, and there was nothing to hide in this aspect.
"Nalant, this brewing competition is indeed a good opportunity for other races like you, because as long as you win, you can get a three-year order from our dwarves!"
"In previous years, all the major principalities of the Holy Alliance of Human Race rushed here to participate in the competition, so all kinds of delicious spirits emerged in endlessly!"
At that moment, the black tower began to tell Nalant the details of the brewing competition.
The requirements for this winemaking competition are somewhat different.
Not only does he require the taste of the wine, but more importantly, he also requires the price of the wine to be low.
After all, it is purchased and supplied to tens of thousands of dwarf soldiers. If you get a pot with hundreds of gold coins, the dwarves will not be able to afford it even if they sell it.
In this way, under this prerequisite, the difficulty of the competition will rise linearly.
It is very difficult to make wine that is delicious, strong, and cheap.
In previous years, such competitions were basically replaced by the Fire Wine of the Blue Shield Empire and the Fire Wine of the Bach Empire.
Because fire wine and fire wine both taste good, are strong enough, and are cheap.
Ordinary fire wine and fire wine on the market cost ten gold coins per pot. This is the price that merchants have accumulated in order to make gold coins after transporting them from thousands of miles away.
If it were provided directly to the dwarves, the price could be as low as three gold coins per pot.
As for whether there is any profit, Black Tower does not know, but he knows that even so, the brewing competition every three years can attract a large number of human beings to participate.
The same is true even for the Blue Shield Empire and the Bach Empire, which produce spirits. In order to win the competition every time, even if the original one is already good enough, they will continue to make improvements.
Because they were worried that if the dwarf soldiers got tired of drinking without making improvements, the competition would be won by other principalities or empires.
In the past two years, the Bach Empire's fire wine has overtaken the fire wine because its price and taste are comparable to the fire wine.
But the price is fifty silver coins cheaper than the fire wine, which is two gold coins and fifty silver coins per pot.
In this way, the Bach Empire has won the competition on both sides with fierce flames.
Nalant then understood from the Black Tower's words why the principalities and empires attached so much importance to this competition.
Those who don't have gold coins are second best to the principalities.
The real reason is that the dwarves can pay for the fine wines with weapons and equipment, and the price is more than half cheaper than the weapons and equipment ordered on the market.
Don't underestimate the half price. For an empire, with hundreds of thousands of troops, the price of weapons and equipment can be reduced by half, which is a huge amount of gold coins.
Thinking of this, Nalant wanted to give it a try and participate in this competition.
Although he has only a few hundred men under his command, his equipment is not worth mentioning at all.
But you can be a second-hand dealer!
If you really win the competition, then all the wine money will be exchanged for weapons and equipment, and then the price will be changed two or three levels, and you will definitely make a lot of money.
"Nalant, do you have any other new wine, something stronger?" At this moment, Heita asked again.
"Why do you ask?"
"If you take part in the competition with wine, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!" Black Tower did not care about Nalant's face, and spoke in line with the dwarf's straightforward character.
"Really?" Nalant originally wanted to use wine to participate in the competition because his wine cost was low.
Even if the intensity is not enough, then use cheap means to get it together. If someone pays two gold coins for a pot, he can use one gold coin for a pot. Anyway, it is just the raw material of grapes, and there are no other costs.
"Nalant, our dwarf soldiers all need to participate in battles, so they prefer strong wine like fire wine!"
"Although your wine is delicious, it cannot be regarded as a long-term drink for dwarf soldiers!"
"Okay! I understand!" Nalant did not refute.
"However, Nalant, you can also give it a try. Maybe the dwarf soldiers are tired of drinking the fire wine!" Maybe he felt that his words were too direct, but Black Tower's worldly manners learned from spending several years in the human race.
Let him add another sentence.
"Heita, you don't need to say more, I understand what you mean! Come on, this bottle of wine is for you!" Nalant patted Heita on the shoulder.
Then he chatted with him for a few more words, and told him that his territory had been settled on the Black Rock Plain. If he had the opportunity in the future, he could come to visit his territory, and then left the Black Tower's shop.
Nalant originally wanted to get rid of the Black Tower and help him forge some weapons, but the competition made him think that he should wait a little longer.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave now, so I might as well wait a few more days, because the brewing competition will be in three days.
He has not given up the idea of participating in the competition. Even if the wine is not strong enough, there is no threshold for participation. You only need to go to the level.
So, no matter whether it works or not, you have to give it a try.
After leaving the Forge of the Forge, Nalant did not go to the store immediately, but stopped at the entrance of the Forge of the Forge.
Because the registration office for the brewing competition is right here.
At this moment, the registration office is already crowded, with many representatives from principalities or empires waiting for their grades.
Seeing this, Narant chose a row of people with a moderate number of people and lined up behind the crowd to wait.
"Go away, you weak reptiles!" While Nalant was waiting, a low scolding sound suddenly came from not far away.
It was actually the group of orcs he saw on the road earlier.
This group of orcs also arrived at the registration office at this moment. When they saw humans lining up in front of them, they brutally pushed the humans in front of them away.
The human race in line originally had an angry look on their face, but when they saw several tauren that were more than four meters tall, their faces turned pale and they obediently stepped aside.
Although he said that making trouble among the dwarves would be punished, he knew that he would lie on the ground before the tauren was punished.
Therefore, it is better to endure it and there is no need to argue with these barbaric guys.
In addition, I don’t know whether the orc intentionally or unintentionally chose to jump in the queue. They were all teams from small principalities or principality nobles.
When it comes to the Blue Shield Empire, representatives of empires like the Bach Empire are not among them.
Otherwise, if the orcs dare to join the ranks of these empires, for the sake of face, these representatives will fight bloody battles no matter what.
When the surrounding human race saw this, no one shared the same hatred, but just watched it as a show of excitement.
When Narant saw this, he stopped paying attention, and soon it was his turn to register.
This registration is very simple, it just records the principality to which it belongs, in order to confirm the noble status and ensure that it has the strength to provide a large amount of spirits.
Otherwise, if someone pretends to participate with magic potion wine and wins the competition, but then runs away directly afterwards, then the competition will be wasted and become a joke.
When Zhuang Kang was registering, the dwarf in charge of the registration looked hard at it for a long time.
Because of the special nature of the Tulip Territory, it did not join any principality, so he could only level up as a Storm Territory.
As for the Storm Territory, the dwarves thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out which principality it was.
In the end, fortunately, Nalant told him that he owned a shop in the Forge of the Forge, told him about the wine, and even showed him the wolf fang that Master Moore had forged for him.
In this way, the dwarf confirmed Nalant's strength and registered him.
Guchong
Although wine is no longer among the spirits, it is already well-known in the Forge of the Furnace, otherwise Nalant might not even be able to register.
"Haha, isn't this the little country lord who followed Luo Er? Do you also want to participate in the competition? Do you want to use your wine?"
"Although your wine has some characteristics, it is simply a dream to win the competition. Only a country lord like you dares to dream of such a dream!"
Just when Nalant finished registering and received an iron certificate from the dwarf, he heard a sneer in his ears.
Turning around, he saw that it was the second prince of the Bach Empire who had competed with him and Rohr over the order of forging weapons.
"Idiot!" Upon seeing this, Nalant didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He simply said "Idiot!" and then prepared to leave.
"Boy, what did you say!" Cody, the second prince of the Bach Empire, suddenly spoke in a bad tone.
"Sorry, I forgot that you don't understand the meaning of idiot, I'll say it in a way that you can understand, idiot!" Nalant stopped and replied with a smile.
Now he is completely at odds with the Bach Empire. Even if he swallows his anger at this moment, Eric, the eldest prince of the Bach Empire, will obviously not let him go.
Therefore, now that Cody is only the third prince of the Bach Empire, there is no need to worry about anything.
And with Nalant's idiotic voice, the representatives of the surrounding principalities and principalities were dumbfounded.
Who is Corinna? He represents the Bach Empire. Now this young man dares to call someone a fool in front of him. I am afraid that even some kings of principalities would not dare to do this.
"Who is this young man?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him before. Is he a prince from some empire?"
"Maybe he's not a prince from some empire. I heard earlier that he was from some kind of Storm Territory..."
"Storm leader? Never heard of it?"
For a while, representatives from various countries around him started talking about it.
"Are you looking for death? Rolle is not here today!" Cody listened to the buzzing discussion around him and immediately lost all dignity. He raised the legendary staff he had just obtained two days ago and prepared to teach Nalant a lesson.
.
"Battle at the Forge of the Furnace!" At this moment, a dwarf leader walked into the crowd.
And the staff that Cody, the third prince of Bach, had just raised, put it down again upon seeing this.
Although the dwarves are not powerful today, no empire dares to offend the dwarves, because if they want to obtain high-quality weapons from them, they must have a good relationship.
"Boy, you are lucky today, just wait for me!" It was impossible to do anything, and it would be embarrassing to stay here. The second prince Cody said a harsh word and left directly.
When Nalant heard these harsh words, he smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he thanked the dwarf leader.
The dwarf leader also nodded towards him. This dwarf leader recognized Nalant.
Because when Narante arrived earlier, he was with the King of the Hill.
…
Putting what happened during registration behind him, Nalant headed directly towards his store.
"Why are there so many people?"
Only when he walked near the store, he found that there were so many people in front of him, which had the effect of blocking the wide street.
Narant was startled, thinking that someone was looking for trouble, so he immediately pushed through the crowd.
"Don't worry if you want to buy it. Whether it's brown sugar black bread or white sugar white bread, there are plenty of them. It's definitely enough for you to buy!"
It turned out that these people were all rushing to buy black bread and white bread.
"Narant, you are back!"
And when Narante squeezed through the crowd and returned to the shop, Natasha immediately greeted him with her head held high like a victorious little hen.
"Well, I'm back! Natasha, how much do you price this bread? Why do so many people come to buy it?" Nalant was really curious.
Although he had absolute confidence in the taste of brown sugar brown bread and white sugar white bread, he was unable to judge the price.
But now so many people are buying it, the price is definitely in line with the price of this holy continent. Otherwise, if the price is set high, there will definitely not be so many people buying it.
But if the setting is too low, it will definitely be a loss, and Natasha should not make a loss-making transaction.
"Brown sugar and black bread cost one silver coin, and white sugar and white bread cost five silver coins each!" Natasha said with a smile.
"Oh? This isn't cheap either! However, with so many people buying it, it's not expensive in comparison. How did you determine this price, Natasha!"
In the Glory Continent, a piece of brown sugar and black bread costs seven copper coins, while white sugar and white bread costs thirty copper coins.
In this way, the current price has increased more than ten times, which has exceeded Narant's expectations.
If he had set the price according to his own rules before, he probably wouldn't have had such an appetite.
"Gee, Narant, you praise me first, and I will tell you after you praise me!" Natasha started teasing.
Bo!
"Ah, Narante, there are so many people!"
Nalant didn't take it well when he saw this, he directly caught Natasha's expression, and then kissed her.
Although Natasha has a hot personality, she was shocked in an environment with so many people.
"Haha, if you don't tell me, I will continue to reward you!"
"Pervert, let me tell you!" Natasha rolled her eyes at Nalant, finally defeated.
Immediately, she informed Narant about the pricing details.
It turns out that the pricing method is very simple, and Natasha really does not know the prices of goods in the Holy Continent.
But she thought of a good idea.
That is to give brown bread and white bread to customers who come into the store to buy wine.
After the customers taste it, let them guess the price of the two kinds of bread. If they guess correctly, or if they guess it is very close, they will get a free bottle of ordinary wine.
Faced with such temptation, these people who come to buy wine naturally take it seriously, and they all quote the price that they know after tasting carefully.
Of course, Natasha's cunningness was unimaginable to these people. Whenever they seriously quoted a price, they would first deny it twice, saying they were wrong.
When it comes to the third time, he will pretend to answer correctly, and then give him a bottle of wine.
In this way, Natasha tested a total of twenty people and received sixty quotes.
The prices obtained are very consistent with the prices in the Holy Continent.
For example, some customers' first quotation may be on the high side, but after receiving Natasha's wrong price, the person will automatically lower the price.
Some customers will quote a slightly lower price at first glance, but after receiving Natasha's wrong reminder, they will automatically increase it.
Immediately, Natasha took the average of these prices and asked the servant about the prices of black bread and white bread in the dwarf's territory.
Finally, we settled on very reasonable prices for the brown sugar black bread and white sugar white bread.
