Richie didn't spend the night in this winery, because there were more than a dozen wineries waiting for him, he arrived at the winery almost during the day to inspect it, and then rested in the air at night, so busy that the eagle brother was not much better than him, and he had to forage for food by himself. In the vicinity of Washington, there is a freight station dedicated to providing food to it, and the kingdom is official, because the Huaxia Alliance itself has no meat to eat, and it can't afford to raise vultures at all, but in these areas, the royal family does not come, there is no food supply, and they can only catch wild ones by themselves.

However, the eagle brother did not complain, because Li Qi usually treated him well, not only gave him wine, but also developed a sauce for him to eat with meat.

It took 20 days for Li Qicai to visit the 20 new distilleries.

In fact, after seeing the first winery, the other wineries basically don't need to be seen, there will be no problem, Colliers and they care very much about the big customer of the Huaxia Alliance, but Li Qi still went to see each one.

The purpose is to estimate how much sake these wineries can produce, because the raw materials of these wineries come from wild fruit forests, and you have to see them for yourself to be able to estimate them.

After walking around this circle, Li Qi also had a rough estimate in his heart.

If all of them are put into operation, based on a 90-day cycle, it can probably produce a million jars of wine, which is directly several times over.

The 90-day cycle is calculated according to the plant growth cycle, and many plants today have a 60-90 day growth cycle, mainly because the climate here is very stable, and the daily time is much longer than the day in later generations, plus the aging of the wine, it is about a 90-day cycle.

But this estimate of one million jars can only be the basis, not the maximum output of these wineries, mainly limited by manpower, if there is enough manpower, then more arable land and fruit forests can be cultivated, and now the number of factories has increased by twenty, as long as the raw materials and manpower keep up, the amount of wine will still increase exponentially.

Of course, this can't be satisfied with the entire market, but there are a lot of them, and the raw material collection places have begun to become diversified, so the level of taste of the wine must be different, so the price or something, naturally more than the beginning of the metamorphosis.

Back in Washington, Richie immediately prepared for these things.

He intends to divide the price of wine according to age, origin, and type of raw materials.

In this way, it can be divided into about ten levels.

The most expensive wine is the fine golden wine aged for 120 days, this 120 days is not Li Qi's imagination, he has been observing the aging period of these wines from the beginning, and there has been no interruption during this period, and now in his special cave, there are more than 20 barrels of golden wine aged for 200 days, but the taste is not outstanding, so he thinks that 120 days of golden wine is the best.

And all of them are packed in wooden barrels, the container of this wine actually represents the noble and low, in fact, the process of wooden wine barrels, Li Qi has been taught to the production department, but because of manpower, the output of wooden barrels is not very much, because the current production of wine is the key, and he cannot send too many people to produce wooden barrels.

Therefore, Leach stipulated that the barrels should only be used for the best golden wines.

And he named the golden wine in wooden barrels King Wine.

Listen to the name to know the price, this is basically for the powerful people in the royal city, including the king of the earth.

In addition, there is also the high-quality black liquor jar, which is specially used to hold high-quality liquor.

And Li Qi began to demand that the wine jar produced today must have the mark of the Nine Star Ring, and he will definitely establish the brand when he launches this wave.

For example, the best liquor, he named it Huajiu.

This is very simple, pottery is the most mature technology of the Huaxia Alliance, and it is also the oldest technology.

In addition, Li Qi also asked them to produce jade wine bottles, and he also planned to ask Bei Bei to help him produce some wine bottles for some expensive wine, which he told Bei Bei early on, but now it is mainly soda bottles. Including wooden barrels, he also plans to contract out, although the barrel process is mature, but this requires a large number of manpower, and the Huaxia Alliance does not have so many people to produce barrels.

On this day, Aries Xiuwen arrived in Washington again.

"Is the price of shipping reduced today?"

Li Qi glanced at the five or six Qu Ru, and smiled at Aries Xiuwen.

Aries Xiuwen said: "It's really fair to say, and it may get cheaper and cheaper in the future." ”

Li Qi was curious: "Why is that?" ”

Aries Xiuwen said: "In the past, the big producers of the white horse concentrated Qu Ru in the internal transactions with our kingdom, and this generation basically can't fly, because there are not many food supply stations, the reason why Qu Ru's freight is expensive is mainly because of the supply of food, and now the peak lord has established a lot of food supply stations here, and the big producer of the white horse is said to have purchased fifty Qu Ru, which is specially used to fly here, and the price will definitely be much cheaper." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said with a smile: "Of course, the main reason is that you wrote that the new drinking supplies are ready to be shipped, and our president doesn't want to wait any longer, so he hired Qu Ru to deliver them." ”

"Brother Aries, please wait a moment."

Li Qi turned his head to look at Nong, and saw that Nong immediately came forward with a dozen people, and they carried a large wooden box in twos and twos, and when the wooden box was opened, it was cold inside, and there were some soda bottles in the middle of the ice cubes.

This is an extraordinary look.

Aries Xiuwen said: "This is the new drinking product? ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the name of this new drink is soda, which is not only delicious, but also very thirst-quenching." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle from it, handed it to Aries Xiuwen, and instructed Nong to give the rest of the steam to the rest of the royal family.

Aries Xiuwen took the soda bottle, saw that the bottle cap was very peculiar, and asked curiously: "How to open this bottle cap?" ”

Li Qi said: "I think your royal family can bounce away." ”

"Bounce off?"

Aries Xiuwen didn't quite understand.

Li Qi said: "Just use your thumb under the cap and flick it up." ”

He felt that the corkscrew was really redundant for the Aries to repair, and the peasants could easily uncover it, and of course their royal family could use it.

Sure enough, Aries Xiuwen flicked it lightly, and the bottle cap flew out, but it wasn't that the bottle cap was not tightly sealed.

Li Qi picked up the bottle cap and said, "This is also money!" ”

Aries Xiuwen was only slightly stunned, and didn't care, he couldn't wait to take a sip, snort twice, and then said with a look of surprise on his face: "Wonderful!" Your soda is wonderful. This sweet and sour taste, there is nothing special, many juices also taste like this, but the feeling of drinking is different, and it is very cool and thirst-quenching, which is really amazing! ”

As he spoke, he took another sip into it, immediately burped, and laughed: "I can understand why this drink is called soda!" ”

He is a well-mannered trader, and those royal families who are responsible for transportation, needless to say, they want to take a sip like drinking, but they can't help it, the more they drink, the more they want to drink, and it just so happens that they also have a little dry mouth, and they unconsciously drink it all in one gulp.

He burped at the same time, and then looked at Nong with a blank eye.

That look even a three-year-old child understands.

Can you have another bottle?

I can't help but drink this soda!

Nongdao: "Don't worry, when we have dinner, we have prepared a lot of soda for everyone to enjoy." ”

O wise man!

Those royal families were ecstatic when they heard this, this trip was really not in vain!

However, when eating, it is not a bottle of soda, but a jar, and these soda are produced from Richie's R&D room, not from the soda factory, because there are not many bottles at present, but they have to be transported to the cow hump.

No one cares about that, as long as you have a soda to drink, it doesn't matter what you pack it in.

After this feast and drink, they set out to return to the cow hump.

And Li Qi calculated the time for them to arrive at the Cow Hump, and also prepared to fly to the Niu Hump, everything was ready here, and he had to negotiate the sales side.

By the time he arrived at the cow hump, the soda had just arrived.

Nine-tailed Baimei, Red Fox Xiaozhu They heard that the new drink supplies arrived at the same time as Li Qi, and immediately rushed to the trade fair, at present, the soda is not monopolized, the last time has suffered a loss, this time how can not let the black sheep Jiuzhen or the nine-tailed Baimei also monopolize the soda.

One of the largest private rooms in the trade fair.

I saw that all the big producers of the cow hump were sitting inside, and there were wine hot pots on the small table in front of them, but their eyes fell on the slightly transparent bottle.

They are all used to jade bottles, and this soda bottle looks like garbage.

But that's not the point.

The key is the drinking stuff inside.

Hearing a few "poof" sounds, Taurus Thousand Blades opened the cap of the bottle.

Li Qi said: "Don't be busy tasting it, this soda should be more delicious after adding ice." ”

Black Sheep Jiuzhen smiled: "I'm ready for this ice cube!" ”

I saw some ice cubes on everyone's table.

Although the weather here is at room temperature, there is no shortage of ice, and there are a lot of ice cubes on many surrounding mountains.

Litchie first picked up some ice cubes and threw them into his glass, then poured the soda into it.

Taurus Thousand Blades watched and did so.

"Look, this soda seems to have a sound."

Taurus Thousand Blades was startled.

Li Qi smiled: "Big producer, this is the sound of bubbles, which is why it is called soda." ”

Everyone stared into the cup and saw small bubbles coming out, and they were immediately very surprised.

"I give you a drink."

Richie raised his glass.

They also took a sip first, then another sip, and then a big sip, and they couldn't stop at all.

Until you have exhausted your glass of soda.

"Cool!"

Taurus Qianjian put down the empty cup, quickly took out a bottle, and while adding ice cubes, he said extremely excitedly: "Your soda is really delicious, I think it's a little worse than wine." Belch... It's so comfortable. Ha ha! ”

Red Fox Xiaozhu said: "These are two different drinking products, how can they be compared, I think they have their own advantages and disadvantages." ”

Bai Ma Shenxing smiled and said: "Li Qi, your talent is really amazing, this wine has not been supplied yet, and you have made this soda, I am afraid that no amount of money will be enough for you to earn." ”

This soda is also drunk, and everyone has a rough estimate of the value in their hearts, which is not necessarily lower than the value of wine.

Can they not envy in their hearts?

Li Qi said with a smile: "The white horse is serious, and I don't make much money." ”

Taurus Thousand Blades grinned: "This is true, the money has been earned by Bai Mei and Jiuzhen." ”

Nine-tailed Bai Mei snorted: "Yes, Li Qi really didn't make much, because all the money he earned was spent on you." ”

Black Sheep Jiuzhen nodded slightly and said, "Sister Mei is reasonable!" ”

This is a big truth, for the time being, not counting the money invested, most of Li Qi's money is used to buy black iron.

Qingyang Pharmacist asked, "Li Qi, I don't know how you plan to sell this soda?" ”

That's what they're here for.

Although none of them are engaged in this kind of trading, of course, whoever sells this thing makes money.

Black sheep Jiuzhen and nine-tailed Baimei frowned at the same time, facing these big producers, they only felt Alexander.

In fact, when it comes to wealth, Black Sheep Jiuzhen is the poorest of them, if you don't count the Nine-Tails family, Nine-Tailed Baimei is the second poorest.

Li Qi said: "Everyone has also drunk soda, how do you think it compares to wine?" ”

Taurus Qianjian said: "It's still not good to drink wine, I can't help but drink this soda, but if there is no wine, I don't know how to spend the day." ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "What I want to ask is not this, what I want to ask is, who can drink more of a bottle of wine and a bottle of soda of the same size." ”

"Wine, of course." Taurus Qianjian said: "This soda is not enjoyable to drink in a bottle, if you drink such a large bottle of wine, you can still enjoy it, when you were attacked by Gu Eagle, I only wanted to be able to drink a glass of wine a day." ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "The big producer is right, if you sell soda as expensive as wine, it is obviously inappropriate, this soda pursues small profits and quick turnover, which is the biggest difference from wine." ”

Nine-tailed Baimei immediately said, "Then what price are you going to sell?" ”

"For the time being, it's two oysters, but I'll try to get it down to one." Li Qi said.

"So cheap?"

Red Fox Xiaozhu and Taurus Thousand Blades said in unison.

Li Qi said: "I am not talking about the price I sell, but the price of selling to customers. ”

These big producers all looked at Li Qi in surprise.

Red Fox Xiaozhu frowned and said: "If it is this price, if you have to count the freight, there will be no profit at all." ”

Li Qi said: "It's not that I sell it cheaply, but the soda can't be sold too expensive, if I sell a color shell, everyone will only want a fresh at most, drink a bottle or two, but it will definitely not last, this mouthful, is a color shell, then it is better to drink juice or ice water." ”

The sweet and sour taste of soda also has the same taste of fruit juice, but soda contains carbon dioxide, which is not indispensable, which is different from wine, the taste of wine, there is no substitute, if there is less wine, the price is expensive and there is no fear that no customers will buy it.

These big producers were silent.

With such a low profit, there is no value to fight for, and they are not short of this money.

Li Qi smiled: "So I plan to sell this soda by myself and sell it to those small shops, I hope that everyone can buy a bottle of soda when they walk on the street." ”
