Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 22
"Luther, are you planning to intervene in the family's brewing business?"

Pompeii Castle, Madam Sophie's study, Madam Sophie is wearing a delicate light blue dress, showing a good figure, with light makeup on her face, mature and beautiful.

She was sitting behind the desk, with her hands folded on the desk, her face a little serious.

If it is an ordinary family, the son talks to the stepmother like this.The son will definitely have scruples.But fortunately this is Pompey's home.

Luther was not intimidated by Mrs. Sophie's serious expression, nodded, and said, "I think the income in the territory is a bit low, and I want to try to start with the brewing industry."

Mrs. Sophie frowned and said, "Luther, you have an extraordinary talent in agriculture. I believe that within a year or two, Pompeii will be two or three times more prosperous than it is now. You are undoubtedly excellent, But it doesn't mean you are good in other aspects, the business of brewing is not easy."

Luther's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

It just so happens that he really doesn't know anything about the brewing industry in this world.And the mother's family in front of him is a professional wine maker.

Although the business is not very big, there must be something unique.

Listen to the analysis first.

In particular, Luther needs to know about the types of alcohol in this world. If there is no such alcohol, the technology that Luther has mastered is the ultimate move.

"Mum, please tell me."

Luther said.

Madam Sophie shook her head, looking at Luther's appearance, she knew that persuasion was futile.But forget it, let Luther make such a fuss.

Anyway, with the breakthrough in agriculture, Pompeii's tax revenue will skyrocket this year and next year.

The income from winemaking was very important before, but it is not so important now.

Mrs. Sophie stroked the hair beside her ear, and said, "As for wine, there are probably two types of wine, the wine drunk by commoners and the wine drunk by nobles. For example, the manor in our territory brews ale wine. This is cheap civilian wine. Some of the production is sold domestically, and some are sold abroad. We have a shop in the city of the baron. We rely on the ale business and make some money every year. But this kind of wine brewing technology It's really too simple, there are many people who make wine, and the wine sold to ordinary people can't be sold at a high price, so that's it. "

"The second is wine. Unlike ordinary people, wine is about taste. This requires strong technology. The wine produced by a powerful wine estate is very popular among nobles, and the price is also expensive. It is called red gold. .Because of this, brewing wine requires both brewing technology and old brands. The Pompeii family is too small to support the wine business.”

Having said that, Madam Sophie felt a little helpless.

You can't make much money brewing bad ale.Wine making has neither technology nor brand, so it is difficult to open up the market.

Compared with the ale for the common people, the profit of wine is too great.

The big one makes many people jealous.

But the threshold is too high. Generally, those who hold old and powerful wine estates are those big nobles.Small nobles like Pompeii really couldn't manage it.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Sophie didn't suggest that Luther get involved in the brewing business.

"So that's the case." Luther squeezed his chin, but he didn't intend to give up.

Although it sounds like it is in front of the Pompeii family, it is really impossible for the wine making business to develop much.But this is for natives.

We are time travelers with technology.

However, the technology that Luther mastered is not wine technology, and Luther does not know how to brew that stuff.

Can't even taste it.

Only those who can drink wine, and even be able to tell when the wine was made and what winery it was made in, are masters.

Those who can drink may not necessarily be able to make wine, but those who make wine must be able to drink.

After thinking about it, Luther stretched out his hand and gestured, and said to Madam Sophie: "Mom, I have drank wine and ale. I would like to ask if there is a kind of wine that is very spicy, very strong, very strong when you drink it. Strong wine?"

That's right, the technology Luther mastered was distilling wine.

It can be called a "must-have" technology for travelers.

Of course, it wasn't because Luther knew he was going to travel through time, so he went to find out.Damn, who would have known that he would time travel.

The reason why Luther knew this technique was because he had a very good friend who was an alcoholic.

Known to be from all over the world, he has drunk all kinds of wine.

As for brewing technology, he also speaks clearly and logically.Not only did he speak clearly and logically, he even went to study it.

Belongs to the kind of people who are idle.Luther naturally hated this kind of friend.

Because his friend is a rich man, and only a rich man would be idle.

Anyway, Luther knew about this kind of technology, distilled wine technology, through this friend.Before crossing, Luther didn't care about this technology.

After crossing, this technology is very happy.

He drank the wine of the age, wine, ale, and other common liquors.I have never drunk a kind of strong wine, but the alcohol content is very low.

Only light booze.

Drinking this kind of low-alcohol alcohol is no longer a legend in the world.

If distilled spirits are used to brew spirits, spirits that can burn through the whole person.It is unknown whether it will sell well, but it is definitely a major breakthrough for wine making in this world.

Chances are you can get rich off of this.

However, Luther still doesn't know much about wine in this world. Maybe other places already have that kind of high-grade wine, spirits, but he hasn't drunk it?

Therefore, Luther needed an expert to make sure.

Is there such a high alcohol, spirits in this world.

"Very spicy, very strong?" Madam Sophie took a moment to digest these two words, because Luther's words were very fresh.

After thinking about it, Madam 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 money again. I want to produce a new tasting wine. I can't describe it now. When the finished product is brewed, Mom, can you give me some money?" Try it and see if Pompeii can make a fortune with this new tasting."

"New tasting?" Mrs. Sophie was a business-minded lady, and immediately recognized the important words.

In this world where brewing civilian wine can't make money, and making wine requires technology, capital, and fame, the wine making industry is a business that will make everyone desperate.

But with new tastings it might be different.

Madam Sophie remembered that this wonderful young man in front of her had also invented the plow before that, so maybe she had some idea in mind.

"How much does it cost?" Madame Sophie asked.
