Chapter 0102: The Fat Man of the Humulus Family
The Earl and Lady Mary have already left Coral Island and headed for Blue Dragon Island.
Mrs. Penelope sent her wishes, but she did not come to the Tulip Castle.
Therefore, without the restraint of the lord and the old lady, the atmosphere of the tulip castle luncheon was quite warm, especially the young nobles, who were busy socializing and contacting each other.
Liszt was inevitably involved.
Many nobles know that the earl does not attach much importance to this third son, who is relatively talented, but no matter what, Liszt's bloodline is undoubtedly noble - the paternal bloodline is the earl, and the maternal bloodline is the marquis, and there are no three generations, belonging to the direct blood relatives.
"Liszt, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and now that the road to Thorn Ridge has been opened, why don't you come to my mud town?"
"Brooke, I'll make time to visit Mudtown, it's only two hours from Flower Town to Muddy Town. And you can also come to Flower Town, and I'll treat you to the best seafood. ”
"I would definitely go, I love seafood, especially oysters. ”
"Of course, everybody loves oysters. ”
"Haha. ”
After a sumptuous luncheon, there is an after-dinner dessert.
Liszt saw ice cream, and compared to the town, which could only make four flavors of ice cream, the ice cream in Tulip Castle had eight flavors.
Ice cream hasn't spread yet.
So this time the dessert amazed the nobles, but not many people asked about the ice cream recipe, and the ice was really not something that the little nobles could afford. Only the sons of the two viscounts made a request to Liszt to buy the formula, and the two of them could afford to use ice.
Liszt was not polite either.
For Brandon Gravel, the son of Viscount Gravel City, he gave the transaction price: "Three hundred catties of pig iron, the recipe is yours." "This price is twice as expensive as that for my sister Li Weila, and outsiders don't want to get his preferential price.
Brandon gritted his teeth: "Deal!"
Liszt then gave the price to Aubrey Humulus, son of the Viscount of Beer Island: "One hundred and fifty barrels of beer with hops." ”
The heir of the Humulus family, who has deep pockets, did not hesitate at all: "No problem, I will let the fleet bring an extra fifty barrels of beer when I go back, and you let your caravan wait for the transaction in Coral City." ”
"Refreshing. ”
Liszt was very happy, and with a flashy formula, he succeeded in changing a lot of things.
But the next moment, his face almost changed.
Because Aubrey suddenly said: "By the way, Liszt, I am going to catch seafood on the beaches around Beer Island and sell it to the outside world, what do you think?"
There was still a smile on his face.
Already wanting to kill Aubrey in his heart, Liszt just asked lightly: "Why is the Humulus family interested in seafood, hops have brought enough wealth to the Humulus family." ”
"No one thinks they make less money, do they? "Aubrey is very fat, with a bulging belly, like a baby in October, and at a glance you know that the snacks are good and delicious," Seafood is a good thing, especially oysters, which are endlessly interesting, and the seafood business in Flower Town makes me red-eyed. ”
At present, only Flower Town on Coral Island is fishing for a large amount of seafood and selling it to the outside world.
The profits were huge, bringing in nearly one gold coin a day, and just a few days ago, Liszt bought three more carriages, plus the previous six, for a total of nine carriages, and sold seafood non-stop.
Now it was divided into three caravans, one led by the elder Grande himself to and from Coral City and Tulip Castle, one led by Abagon in the direction of Birch City, and one led by Sherlock to open up to Serpent Spear City. With the current sales momentum, two or three gold coins a day will not be a problem in the future.
He was ready to dominate the Coral Island Seafood Market, but he didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway.
Aubrey wanted to get involved in the seafood business.
If it is a small nobleman such as an ordinary baron who wants to meddle in the seafood business, Liszt does not mind complaining to the earl, so that the other party understands that you can't afford to mess with the noblest blood on Coral Island. But the Humulus family is different, the Viscount of Beer Island is one of the earliest followers of the Earl, and it is difficult to overwhelm people with great hard work.
If he is the heir to the earl, the Humulus family will definitely not dare to reach out indiscriminately, the key is that he is just the Baron of Flower Town.
Squinted slightly.
Liszt instantly thought of a variety of ways to deal with it in his heart, and it was still as plain as the wind on the surface: "Yes, it seems that the seafood market on Coral Island will be much more lively in the future." ”
Aubrey laughed: "Liszt, sorry for misunderstanding you, I didn't plan to sell seafood on Coral Island. It's your business, and I don't want to spoil it for the sake of our friendship. ”
This made Liszt a little out of tune.
They didn't have any friendship at all, Aubrey was estimated to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and was Levi's's fox friend. Surprisingly, Aubrey didn't plan to meddle in Coral Island's seafood market.
"Don't sell seafood on Coral Island, so, what do you mean?"
"Our family has a couple of good outlets to sell to the outer islands. The seafood market is the first thing you discovered, and the coral island is yours, so I don't want to compete with my friends. Aubrey spoke in a very frank tone. If Liszt didn't have some experience, I'm afraid he would have been moved.
It is no wonder that the humulus family can monopolize the hop business, know the current affairs, know the advance and retreat, and it is difficult not to succeed.
He raised his glass of red wine and raised it to sign: "Cheers to our friendship." ”
"Cheers to friendship, of course. ”
......
The seafood business is a false alarm.
But Liszt would not have felt that the seafood market had been stable since then, and today's gesture of favor by Aubrey made him understand that wealth is moving.
If in the beginning, seafood was just a rarity, and the nobles tried it.
Now I am afraid that the profits of the seafood business have been inquired about by the nobles, at least one gold coin a day, and there may be more in the future. Think about it, one gold coin a day will cost you more than 300 gold coins a year, and if you earn three gold coins a day, you can't get more than 1,000 gold coins a year.
What's the difference between this and grabbing money!
It's almost worth half a year's tax revenue in a small city.
If the little nobles still take into account Liszt's bloodline, they dare not be presumptuous. Then his sister Li Vera, I'm afraid she has already begun to calculate, how to snatch this business - Liszt knows very well that her sister is not a good man and woman who loves her younger brother, and snatching Liszt's toys is the most proud fun story when she was a child.
In addition, maybe Lytton and Mrs. Mary are also eyeing the back.
Catching seafood is no longer difficult.
"No, I can't be careless!" Liszt was still thinking at the end of the luncheon, "maybe I should bring Levi over and join us." ”
Levi's, Levira, Lytton and Lady Mary are not good men and women.
But no matter what Levi says, he is also the heir of the earl, and he will be the lord of Liszt in the future, and if he wins over Levi, the business will be safe.
"Give Levi a stake and work with him privately, not with Fort Tulip, I'm sure he'll be willing. Now the Tulip Castle, half of the resources have to be allocated to Lytton, Levi should be very anxious, he will not miss it if he can put aside Lytton's business. ”
