"Luther, are you planning to get involved in the family's brewing business?"
In Pompeii Castle, in Madam Sophie's study, Madam Sophie was wearing an exquisite 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 were an ordinary family, and the son and his stepmother were talking like this, the son would definitely have scruples. But luckily this is the Pompeii family.
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 this does not mean that you are also excellent in other aspects. The brewing industry is not an easy business."
After hearing this, Luther's eyes immediately lit up.
It just so happens that he really knows nothing about the brewing industry in this world. And the mother's family in front of me is professional in brewing.
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.
"Mom, please tell me."
Luther said.
Mrs. Sophie shook her head. Looking at Luther's appearance, she knew that persuasion was ineffective. But forget it, 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, in the manor in our territory, ale is brewed.
This is cheap common people's wine. Part of it is produced for internal sales, and part is for external sales. We have a shop in the baron's city. Relying on the ale business, we get some income every year. But the brewing process of this kind of wine
It’s really too simple. There are a lot of 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."
Having said this, Mrs. Sophie was a little helpless.
You can't make much money by making low-quality ale. You don't have the technology or brand to make wine, so it's hard to open up 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, the people who own old and powerful wine estates are the big aristocrats. Small aristocrats like Pompeii really can't run it.
This is why Mrs. Sophie does not advise Luther to get involved in the brewing business, because 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 the wine-making business is unlikely to develop much in front of the Pompeii family. But this is for the indigenous people.
We are time travellers, we have technology.
However, 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, can be considered a master.
Those who know how to drink wine may not necessarily know how to make wine, but those who know how to make wine must know how to drink wine.
After thinking about it, Luther stretched out his hand 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 drunk.
A strong drink?"
That's right, the technology Luther mastered was distilling alcohol.
It can be called a “must-have technology for time travellers”.
Of course, this is not because Luther knew that he was going to time travel, so he went out of his way to find out. Damn it, who would have known that he was going to time travel.
The reason Luther knew this technique was because he had a very good friend who was an alcoholic.
He is said to be from all over the world and has drank all kinds of wine.
Regarding wine-making technology, he also talked about it succinctly. Not only did he talk about it succinctly, he even went to study it.
He was the kind of person who was idle and pained. 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 traveling through time, Luther didn't care about this technology.
After traveling through time, this technology became much more enjoyable.
He has drank wine, ale, and other common people's wines from this era. He has never tasted any high-alcohol wine, all of which have very low alcohol content.
A wine with only a slight alcoholic taste.
It is no longer a legend that you can drink this low-alcohol wine without getting drunk after a thousand cups.
If distilled liquor technology is used to brew spirits, the spirits can burn through the whole person. I don’t know whether it will be a best-seller, but it will definitely be a major breakthrough for brewing in this world.
You might be able to make a fortune doing this.
However, Luther still doesn't understand the wine in this world. Maybe other places already have that kind of high-alcohol wine and spirits, but he has never drank it?
So Luther needed an expert to make sure.
Is there such a strong alcohol or spirit in this world?
"Spicy, very strong?" Mrs. Sophie took a moment to digest these two words, because Luther's words were very fresh.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Sophie shook her head and said, "I've never 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 kind of wine. There is no way to describe it now. When the finished product is brewed, Mom, you can
Let’s try it and see if Pompeii can make a fortune from this new wine.”
"New wine tasting?" Mrs. Sophie is a business-minded lady and immediately heard the important words.
In this world where you can't make money by making wine for the common people, and winemaking requires both technology, capital, and fame, the winemaking industry is a business that will make everyone despair.
But maybe it will be different if you taste new wine.
Mrs. Sophie remembered that the wonderful young man in front of her had also invented the plow before, and he might have some ideas in mind.
