The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 24 There’s a lot to be done

Pompeii Territory.

This is a knight territory that is as small as it can be, and not many things will happen throughout the year.

Luther has been distilling wine during this period, and Pompeii Territory is like a calm lake, without any waves. It is only under the leadership of Pompeii Mayor Lelouch, and with the help of oxen.

This year's spring plowing went much more smoothly.

It must be said that the plow invented by Luther is of great significance for farming. In previous years, every household had to go to the battlefield with the whole family, carrying hoes and plowing the fields.

Now with the help of oxen, it is not only much easier and smoother, but also has spare energy.

At this moment, the morale of Pompeii Territory is extremely high, especially those free people, who are planning to open up new fields next year and cut down trees to build fields.

Expand their own fields by more than double.

In addition to this general direction, there are no other trivial things. This is also the advantage of a small territory, not much work, and easy to manage.

Luther loaded a barrel of distilled wine on the car, took Xiu Xiuya, and the guards returned to Pompeii Castle excitedly. And he couldn't wait to invite Mrs. Sophie and Old Sol to come to the restaurant to taste the new wine.

Inside the castle, in the restaurant.

A huge chandelier hangs above, and under the chandelier is a simple but huge dining table. Some male and female servants stand around, and the old butler Ferran serves beside.

He is a little curious about the new wine made by Luther, and this new wine was made with the help of his son Niu Jin, so he is naturally concerned.

There are three people sitting at the table, Luther, Old Sol, and Mrs. Sophie.

Old Sol sits in the main seat, and Mrs. Sophie and Luther sit on the left and right sides of Old Sol respectively. There are no dishes on the table, only three wine glasses.

In a corner of the restaurant, there is the distilled liquor brought back by Luther.

Old Sol is not in a good mood, with a suspicious face. He looks at the barrel in the corner. This barrel is naturally not a good product, and the sealing is also average.

Old Sol smells the smell of beer from a distance.

He glanced at Luther and doubted.

Because Luther had gone directly to Mrs. Sophie before, he didn't know until now that Luther had created a new wine. As for Luther creating a new wine in such a short time.

Old Sol was naturally skeptical.

If the new wine was so easy to make, then new varieties of wine in the world would pop up like bamboo shoots.

In fact, in the current Kingdom of Prussia, the two largest categories of wine are wine and beer, one for the nobles and the other for the common people.

It's just that the taste of wine is slightly different.

Mrs. Sophie was also a little lacking in confidence, because her family was a winemaker. Because of her understanding, she doubted that Luther could brew a new wine in such a short time.

However, when Mrs. Sophie thought that Luther had also made a "plow" that could allow cattle to plow the fields in such a short time, her confidence returned a little bit.

Maybe it was successful again this time?

If Luther really created a new wine that could sell well, then it would definitely be worth writing about for the Pompeii family.

You know, the benefits of wine are much higher than farming.

Among the people present, only Luther was full of confidence.

This is good wine, a distilled wine that is a must-have for time travelers. Luther seemed to have seen the rolling gold coins, waving at him.

Potion, potion.

Exchange distilled wine for gold coins, exchange gold coins for potions.

Powerful knight, waving at me.

"Pour the wine." Luther said to a servant.

"Yes."

The servant responded, picked up the barrel, and poured new wine for Mrs. Sophie, Old Sol, and Luther.

Old Sol lowered his head and smelled it first, then looked at it. It was a bit like the smell of a knight in war, full of vigilance.

It was just a new wine that was developed in a few days, so it shouldn't be something strange.

He was full of distrust of Luther.

After smelling it and looking at it, Old Sol thought it was okay, at least it wasn't something strange. Because from the smell and the color, it was obviously ordinary beer.

Maybe the taste has been improved to a certain extent, but it is still beer at the root.

Old Sol glanced at it and was a little dissatisfied with Luther for calling him to drink so solemnly. Then Old Sol picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Luther almost laughed out loud, he was so smart. Old Sol didn't hide his feelings, and Luther could see that Old Sol didn't trust him.

He felt a little unhappy.

Although we are father and son, we have a very close relationship. But I am also very embarrassed that you doubt me like this.

Luther was just trying to find a way to save some face. When he saw Old Sol drinking like this, he almost laughed out loud.

Old Sol had drunk beer before, that's for sure. This distilled liquor does look like ordinary beer, but the degree is very different.

Old Sol drank this distilled liquor the way he drank beer, and he would definitely be miserable.

Sure enough, after Old Sol drank this bowl of distilled liquor with a gurgle, his face changed the next moment, first it turned red, and then it turned blue.

His expression also became very strange, like squatting on a toilet, unable to defecate, and looked very sad.

There is no way. The impact is too great.

Old Sol finally realized that this is not some shitty beer. Although Old Sol is not an alcoholic, he also drinks all year round.

Because Pompeii's family was not wealthy, he could not drink wine every day. He drank a large proportion of ale every day. As for ale, I drink it all year round.

But Old Sol had never drunk such strong ale.

It was cold when he drank it, but when it reached his throat, it felt like fire, as if it was about to burn through his throat. When it entered his stomach, the fire suddenly became fierce, and it really seemed like it was about to burn through his stomach.

That feeling is uncomfortable.

Old Sol seemed to hear his stomach wailing fiercely, but he had to admit that it felt so damn good.

This wine is so refreshing.

The stimulation is only temporary, while the alcohol takes effect and the fire fills the body. Old Sol felt as if he was floating in the clouds.

One word.

"Cool!"

Looking at Old Sol's constipated expression, which was changing like a kaleidoscope, Luther felt very happy.

Make you feel bored.

Mrs. Sophie was much luckier than Old Sol. She could also drink and had ale, but she would not be as boring as Old Sol. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, first frowning her beautiful eyebrows, and then Stretch out again.

“I can’t say the taste is great, but the taste is very strong. I have never drunk wine like this. If the current alcohol market is compared to an army, it is like an iron wall. But this new wine tasting is like a sharp sword. Maybe we can break through this iron wall unexpectedly and occupy a small share of the alcohol market.”

Mrs. Sophie said happily.

After drinking, a slight blush appeared on her fair face, which was very bright and beautiful.

And her mind is very clear.

Is distilled wine good wine? This is difficult to judge. Because in terms of taste, it is far worse than wine and not much different from ale.

But just for this intensity, this heat.

You can be unique and win over a group of loyal drinkers of your own.

The Pompeii family has great potential in the liquor business.
