Whether it’s the carbonic acid that provides bubbles or the sugar in it, they are undoubtedly luxuries in this era.
Even if Li Ke is now at full capacity and can produce several meals of Coke puree a day, he can't change a thing.
Coke is really a luxury product.
Because there is a lot of sugar.
Sugar production was limited in this era.
Sweetness in this era is very scarce, whether it is maltose or honey, sugar cane and beets. Although Stormwind City is very suitable for planting, they have always grown these.
But how to say it.
The appalling problems of planting capacity, manpower, and variety have all resulted in sugar being truly a luxury product.
Although sugar is not completely scarce in this magical world, the sugar Li Ke saw from his first father-in-law was all yellow.
Obviously, the craftsmanship is still not enough.
Li Ke, who has played World of Warcraft, knows one thing very well.
Don't look at it. There will definitely be more manpower now than more than ten years ago.
But the productivity of Azeroth after the original trajectory can lift the current Azeroth.
That's not a concept at all.
But even in the later eras, although there were soda drinks and various kinds of white sugar in the gnomes, there was also a variety of desserts in the dwarf world.
But goblins and dwarves are big consumers of these things, and they can't even buy them themselves, let alone provide them to humans.
Although it will no longer be particularly difficult for ordinary humans to eat sugar with the explosion of technology and productivity in Azeroth in the future, it is not something that can be eaten every day.
Sugar is still an expensive luxury product.
Even the nobles encouraged Varian to attack the goblins, and even broke up with Varian, all because of sugar.
The environment in Stranglethorn Valley is really suitable for growing sugar cane and sugar beets! You don’t need complete control. As long as you can stably control a piece of land, you can quickly get a lot of wood and a lot of sugar cane!
Driven by various interests, they chose to attack the places conquered by the goblins instead of chewing on the hard bones of the trolls and the Blackstone Orcs.
If you fight the Blackstone Orcs, the only ones who will benefit are the dwarves, and the territory occupied by the Blackstone Orcs is already an inhospitable place. The ground is full of lava, and there is no way to plant it.
Moreover, the orcs are still difficult to defeat. After defeating them, they still have to face the dwarves, so there is basically no benefit to be gained.
But goblins are different.
The goblins are really rich and can even settle the accounts. Although they will offend the venture capital company, there are too many young men in the venture capital company. Even if they are slapped in the face, they will still be there when there are benefits in the future.
The goblins came to the door and never mentioned revenge.
This group of people has no country, no concept of nation, and even a weak concept of family. They will sell anything as long as there is profit, and when they see an opportunity to make money, they will rush over like crazy dogs.
There really is no one more suitable to be beaten and harvested than goblins.
They, as well as all other countries, have done this. If you say that you have never dealt with goblins or robbed goblins, you are not worthy of being called a human country.
"I don't quite understand, Li Ke."
Varian scratched his head in confusion.
"Although this thing is indeed delicious, the amount of sugar in it is something that only nobles can afford, right? And that won't change anything, right?"
He was a little confused.
Although Coke tastes very good, as a senior alcoholic, he prefers beer and other spirits. If given a choice, he would still choose beer and dwarf spirits instead of Coke.
He believes that there are definitely many nobles like him. Although this stuff is indeed delicious, it can't actually occupy much of the wine market. Even if it makes money, it won't reach the point where it is specially mentioned.
Luxury goods cannot be sold on a large scale.
What is sold on a large scale is definitely not a luxury product.
"But what if I say that it can be sold to civilians on a large scale? And at the price of one silver coin, I can exchange it for the drink you just drank?"
Li Ke chuckled lightly and said something that left Varian stunned.
"Are you serious? Li Ke, this is not something that charity can explain."
Varian looked at Li Ke seriously.
"Of course I'm not joking, so I want to pull you to do this together."
Li Ke took a sip of Coke. He was different from Varian. He didn't like alcohol, and he didn't like the feeling of being paralyzed.
Because since he came to this world and was severely beaten, he has completely understood that escaping is useless.
"But, this is impossible!"
Varian once again felt that Li Ke was a lunatic, but Li Ke was always able to do incredible things, so he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"Because I do have a lot of sugar there."
Li Ke was very calm.
The reason why he can say this is simple.
He industrialized.
Moreover, there is a large group of super-class industrial experts and a nuclear reactor that can satisfy his industrial park.
During his absence, although his territory did not expand its area again, the industrial upgrade was completed, and now all the machines in his territory are electric.
The arrival of the dwarf also helped him establish a foundation in chemical engineering.
And what does it mean when the chemical industry with huge demand encounters an industrial system that can run nuclear power plants by hand?
Explosive lift.
They just followed Li Ke's request to study how to make sugar from corn, and then under the influence of the Burning Legion, dwarfs, dragons and shadow magic, the problem of sugar production that had troubled mankind for thousands of years was found in Li Ke's territory.
was solved.
Li Ke saw the principle document they sent, and to be honest -
He can not understand.
But it doesn't prevent him from using it.
"Many people grow corn on my territory, and I also purchased a lot of corn, so I now have a lot of sugar."
Strictly speaking, Li Ke's current sugar factory can produce industrial sugar with very high impurities, but as long as it goes through a few more processes, it can produce a large amount of sugar.
As for whether this candy tastes good or not, whether it is safe or not...
No one in Azeroth cares.
"Varian, you have to accept one thing, that is, in the future, it will be difficult for you to bribe children with a piece of candy."
Li Ke put down the cup and looked at the disbelieving faces of Varian and Bolvar, knowing that this was still too exciting for these two people.
In fact, he himself found it magical.
But it feels natural.
I just freed up part of my production capacity in advance.
He sighed and chose to explain in words that Varian could understand.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let me tell you this."
He stared into Varian's eyes.
"I'm going to let you get into the selling business."
