"I used to think that Stilton cheese was the best cheese in the UK. Is this cheese from the UK?"

Link picked up a slice of almond cheese and ate a little, then took a small piece to Hannah, who was sitting obediently on the side, and said, "Last time I bought some Stilton cheese at Harroth in London, my friends liked it very much, and most of the money I kept was eaten by this little guy." ”

Bank smiled as Hannah took a small bite of cheese slices in her hands like a little squirrel, the only difference from the squirrel was that the squirrel's eyes were round when she ate, and her eyes were narrowed into small crescents.

The little one's delicious little touch pleases him.

He looked back at Link and said with a smile, "Actually, it's Stilton cheese too." This is made by an old friend of mine using the traditional technique of Stilton cheese, but the cheese contains goat's milk, regular cow's milk and cow's milk, all from his own farm. Almonds are a green food from Portugal that does not use any pesticides. She produces only 3,300 pounds of cheese a year. ”

Link also looked at Hannah and said, "This cheese is really good, especially with red wine, and a small slice of red wine can make a good day." ”

He was exaggerating, but Bank was as happy as if he had been complimented on his own thing, and said, "I would be very happy if your friend heard it! Congratulations on once again being the biggest star of your kind! and thank you for sending me wine. I've tasted it, the queen's charm is more charming, and Huoyun's personality is more restrained. It's like a growing couple. I am now beginning to believe that the Blue Lagoon grapes are indeed the best wine grapes in the world. ”

"Thank you!" Link said with a smile. "In fact, I made some sake myself last year. Albert thought it was pretty good. He suggested that I take it to the ISC. But I don't think it's better to be ugly. ”

"Maybe you're too unconfident. Albert and I talked about it. He also said that the wine you make is actually very good. He said, "Maybe it's a gold medal wine that's not fully ripe, maybe it's going to take a year to really ripen!" and he said that you have a lot of talent for winemaking. After Banker finished speaking, he laughed.

"Daddy, can I eat another piece?"

Hannah had already eaten in small bites, but she ate it quickly.

Link smiled and said to her, "Yes, but only two pieces at most!" The child can eat snacks, but not more. He does dote on his daughter, but he is also quite strict in this regard.

Bank wasn't in the least annoyed by Hannah's interruption of the conversation, a three-year-old child who sat quietly like she had been quite sensible.

Link said "I'm sorry" and said, "I want to eat a few more pieces of this cheese." I don't know if you can introduce your friends to me. It would be nice to buy some cheese from him every month. ”

"I'm going to ask her for more inventory. You know, cheese, like wine, needs to be fermented for a long time, and the cheese she makes is fermented for seven years before it is sold. And most of them are sold directly to customers. The main customers are some friends and customers introduced by friends. So you won't be able to find her cheese in any store. ”

"Does she live far away? Maybe I can visit your friend. ”

"Quite far away, she lives in Nasdale, more than two hundred miles from Leeds. ”

As soon as Link heard the distance, he knew there was no way to go.

"I can contact her first, and if she has more, you can contact her," Bank said. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go. "Since Bank's friends make cheese that only sells cheese to friends and people introduced by friends. Well, having money is not a criterion for being a customer of his friends. "If I could, I'd like to buy more than twenty pounds of cheese a month, but I wonder how many types of cheese your friends make?"

There were four types of almond cheese, as well as cottage cheese, regular cheese, and yogurt, which she had inherited from her ancestral craft. I've got it all here, maybe you can try it. As he spoke, he called the butler and asked him to take out a little of the other three kinds of cheese.

When Link tasted it, he felt so good that he said, "If you can, I'd like your friends to provide more than five pounds of each." ”

"OK, I'll call her and ask. Her cheese was quite expensive, a hundred and seventy pounds a pound, but I think you'd think it was worth it. ”

It may not be the most expensive cheese, but Link does like it.

Link smiled and said, "It's really worth the money." "Money is meant to be spent, and life can be spent and enjoyed for a short time. If you want to get something you like, it's easiest to spend money on it.

Bank called his friend, and he spoke English with a strong accent, which Link didn't understand. Finally he hung up and said to Link, "Link, maybe you're going to be disappointed." Most of her inventory of cheese is only enough to supply her existing customers. Only almond cheese and regular cheese can be supplied in a small amount. That's what she prepared for her family to eat. But she can weigh two pounds of each. However, she will have more cheese for sale next March, which can be agreed in advance if you need it. ”

Link smiled and said, "Of course it does." ”

So Bank told Link his friend's phone number, and Link then dialed directly in front of him and talked to his friend.

Link thanked his friend for giving him four pounds of cheese a month, and then asked if he could serve it next year if he needed ten pounds of each of the four cheeses. That's twice as much as I just said.

He thought that something like this could be used as a gift, and that he could give some to his friends and family. Bank's friend hesitated, only agreeing to sell him seven pounds of each piece starting next April.

After he hung up, he smiled and said, "Ms. Melmer said there was no need to sign a contract. ”

"Haha, this is trust between the British aristocracy. Bank said with a smile. So she only accepts friends introduced by her friends as customers. Usually, we will prepay the money for the current quarter every quarter. He's also reminding Link that it's best to pay upfront as well.

Link smiled and said, "Just now Ms. Melmer just said that the cheese can be paid within a week after it arrives. However, the prepayment method you mentioned is indeed better. ”

Banker stopped and said, "Actually, I have a request, and I hope to agree." ”

"Tell me!"

"Queen and Huoyun, who participated in the ISC this year, you each sent me a box. I invited some friends over to taste it and they all wanted to buy some. Unfortunately, I only have a few here, so I can only pass on two of them to another friend whom I respect the most. But other friends want it too. I know you don't plan to sell the new Queen and Fire Cloud just yet, so I'm having a hard time. But for the sake of my friend, I beg you to ship to me in small quantities. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Although that goes against my previous decision. But since you need it. That's no problem, of course. How much do you need?"

"Maybe fifteen small boxes a month is enough. "That's ninety bottles of each.

Bank had a plan in mind. Although he has many friends, he hopes to drink the new queen and fire cloud in advance. But he was also a businessman, and of course he understood that the scarcer something was, the more precious it was.

Link nodded and said, "I'll send it to you when I get back." "He doesn't plan to go through the sales team for this batch. Because he has no plans to sell the new Queen and Fire Cloud in the next two years.

"I guess their prices are definitely different from the previous two!"

"Yes, Albert suggested that there should be a 20% price increase over the first batch. I can only mention 10% of the price and ship it to you. However, only the amount of these fifteen boxes, if it is released to the public in the future, if you want more amount, the extra part will be the same price as other dealers. Link promised. "Of course, I won't be selling these two wines publicly for two years. ”

"Thank you!" Banker said sincerely. He doesn't value the discount of 10% less price increase. What he valued was that Link gave him exclusive sales rights within two years. It's not much, though. But it will make him a little higher in the circle.

According to Link's price increase, the final retail price of the new batch of Queen and Fire Cloud will go to four thousand dollars. If you drink it in a hotel, maybe it will be higher. That's bound to be a luxury.

Link took a sip of his tea and said, "Bank, I noticed that there is a field behind your manor, and that is also your land, and what does it mainly grow?"

"I mainly grow potatoes or wheat, but I also grow some strawberries. Mainly for personal use or as a gift to friends. ”

"As far as I know, there are more than 470 acres of wheat cultivation in the UK. What kind of wheat is grown? It seems to be spring wheat!"

"There are several varieties of wheat grown in the UK. But the main one is really spring wheat. Wheat cultivation in the UK is mainly concentrated in the southeast. But you're asking this, are you interested in investing in wheat?" Banker knew he wasn't asking for that. Because those things can be found on the Internet.

Link asked about British wheat, of course, not to invest, but to do business: "I don't know if you've heard that one of my investments is a Beni Hans company, which has developed a high-yielding, non-GMO wheat seed. In the field experiment, only one-third of the normal amount of chemical fertilizer and a certain amount of green manure were used, and the yield per acre reached 282 bushels. ”

Bank thought for a moment and said, "Link, if it's just based on this production, it shouldn't be particularly good in the UK." For many years, wheat yields in the UK have been more than 275 bushels per acre. The highest year was more than 290 bushels. He paused and said with a smile. "However, you say that you use only a small amount of chemical fertilizer and some green manure, if you can prove that it is cheaper to grow than other wheat. I think there will be a market in the UK. ”

This is also because Link is somewhat unheard, or he also has a kind of arrogance of "the strongest in the United States".
