Since William walked out of the small courtyard, he has been looking a little sullen for the next few days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But he also figured it out, and the matter of Sumera was put aside by him.

Ten days later, thanks to the joint efforts of Kova and Master Rhein, as well as a group of craftsmen, the ice-making equipment was finally manufactured.

It was a big one, nearly three meters tall and two meters wide, covered in thick iron sheets, along with a few thick wooden pipes. At first glance, it looks like a quadruple of Tetris.

At this moment, this square is placed on the empty school field in the ancient castle. Baron Bazado, William, the old butler Bill, captain Dodora, Cova, Master Rhine, plus five or six skilled craftsmen, were watching.

"I'm going! Everyone, get ready, start pouring water!"

On the school field, Kova rubbed her hands, a little excited. He took a small ladder, put it on the ice-making machine, climbed up and lifted the lid on the top of the ice-making device, and stared intently inside to prevent anything from going wrong.

It was at this time that five or six skilled craftsmen received the order to immediately lift a large bucket and pour water into it from the top of the ice-making equipment.

The whole process has not gone wrong so far.

Kova happily descended the ladder. He opened a small tin window on the ice-making apparatus, only to see that it was empty, only a series of magical formations that were as chaotic as a mural.

A crystal clear magic crystal was gently put into it by Kova, and as soon as the magic formation inside came into contact with the magic crystal, it suddenly lit up.

"Woooooo

The ice-making apparatus roared, vibrated and rattled.

Kova quickly closed the tin window and stayed away. Master Rhine reminded everyone: "In order to prevent the explosion of the equipment, for the sake of safety, let's stand far away. ”

The crowd hurriedly stepped back and watched from afar.

Thirty seconds later.

The ice-making equipment stopped vibrating, and thin white cold air began to bubble up through the cracks everywhere.

At the same time, small Xiaoice blocks of boxy and crystal clear ice gushed out of the wooden pipes of the ice-making instrument in large quantities and piled up into four small bags on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Kova's face suddenly became happy: "It's a success!"

Five or six skilled craftsmen were also overflowing with joy. They happily ran to the ice-making equipment and picked up the Xiaoice pieces on the ground, all in disbelief.

"Kova, well done!"

Baron Bazado also praised Kova in a rare way. As for Master Rhine, Bazaar didn't look at it more.

William knew that his father must still be haunted by the last attack on the beer guard.

William duly changed the subject. He complimented them twice, and asked the old butler Bill to take some gold coins from the treasury of the Lester family as a reward for them.

With this success, five days later, two more ice-making machines were built and sent to Wildfire Town for use.

The original room temperature beer, just add some Xiaoice cubes, immediately become cold beer, the taste has been improved by more than one grade.

In the heat of summer, within a few days of the launch of the 'cold beer' at the Lester Family Tavern, the dismal business immediately improved.

The number of customers coming to the door gradually increased.

Gradually, from earning hundreds of gold coins a day, all the way up, directly breaking a thousand, every few days, after the name of "cold beer" started, the entire wildfire town, almost everyone knows.

Only half a month has passed, and the beer business of the Lester family has returned to normal. The amount of profit per day was restored to two thousand gold coins.

It even rose slightly, almost four or five hundred more gold coins than before.

I have to say, it's a happy thing.

After solving this problem, William finally had time again. He began to learn magic from Master Rheinland.

Although Master Rhine is a junior magician, his magic foundation is very solid, and under William's humble advice, Master Rhine has no reservations and teaches to his heart's content.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, summer had passed.

Early autumn in the year 754 of the Holy Spirit Empire calendar.

This year, a big event happened.

News came from the border of the Holy Spirit Empire that the Terran army had successfully defended the Imperial defenses, and the war between the dwarves of the Steel Mountains and the Orcs of the Aaron Mountains had also stopped.

One of the changes brought about by the subsidence of the war that lasted for several years was the gradual increase in the number of trading caravans of various races, and a thriving situation.

The price of hop doom fruit, one of the raw materials for beer production, has also gradually decreased, more than half.

The Lester family held a meeting and finally decided to reduce the price of beer again, promote it to the general public, and expand the consumer base.

In general, it is to change the original strategy and make small profits but quick turnover.

This suggestion was made by William. Baron Bazado did not object, and in the end it was also decided and implemented.

In the setting town, more than a dozen storefronts were rented by the Lester family at a low price, and after renovation, they began to sell beer.

The name of the town at sunset can finally taste beer at a lower price than the tribute wine!

And the final result did not disappoint William.

Once the strategy of small profits and quick sales was used, the beer business in general not only did not lose money, but made more money. The net profit every day directly broke through the 2,000 gold coin mark and reached more than 3,000 gold coins.

In one day, it is more than 3,000 gold coins.

Ten days, that's more than 30,000 gold coins!

Don't look at the contemporary head of the Lester family, Baron Bazado's title is very low, and the fief is also very small, but the wealth owned by the Lester family is no weaker than that of some ordinary counts.

This is again when beer is only promoted in Wildfire Town and Sunset Town.

William could even have imagined that when beer was further promoted throughout Kuwait Province and chain stores were opened, the Lester family would become the richest family in Kuwait Province.

As the saying goes, the tree is a big move.

Although the beer business was booming again, William did not blindly expand in order to keep a low profile.

However, to its surprise, something eventually happened.

On this day, when an army returning from the imperial border after a battle passed through Wildfire Town to station supplies, several soldiers were drunk because they had never drunk such a novelty as beer.

Beer, although it is not rum and ale, let alone liquor, but if you drink too much, it will be intoxicating.

Originally, several ruffians got drunk in the tavern, which was supposed to be a trivial matter, but in the end, the ruffians clashed with the staff of the tavern, and not only drove away all the guests, but also beat and smashed them in the tavern.

The head of the beer business here in Wildfiretown, Crean, was horrified by this.

Since the border war subsided, many troops and some private armies of nobles and lords have withdrawn from the border and rushed to the imperial capital to report on their work.

Therefore, for a period of time, Crean has strictly restrained his subordinates, but he never expected that something would go wrong.

That night, with a thousand gold coins overnight, Crean found the leading officers of the ruffians, wanting to spread his fortune and settle his affairs.

The leading officer did not accept bribes, let alone accept Crean's apology, and insisted that Crean give an explanation, and his attitude was extremely tough.

The other party refused to eat hard and soft, and Crean was helpless, so he had to find his backer and ask Viscount Mordo, the lord of Wildfire Town, to come forward.

However, there is no use for eggs.

The leading officer did not give Viscount Mordo any face.

Crean rode his fast horse overnight and came to Sunset Town to tell William.

This matter is sensitive and must be handled with care.

When William learned the news, he did not inform his father, Baron Bazado, but rushed to Wildfire Town with Crean to deal with the matter.

At this moment, on the commercial street of Wildfire Town, outside the Lester Family Tavern, there are a lot of onlookers, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by people.

The lights are on.

Turning over from the back of the horse, William saw this scene, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said to Crean on the side: "You have people take some silver coins and distribute them to these watchers, so that they can disperse as soon as possible." ”

Crean nodded hurriedly. He summoned a man and whispered an order.

The man received Crean's order and quickly retreated. Soon after, the onlookers were too embarrassed to stay and watch the excitement, and left one after another.

"Where's the jackal?" asked William again.

"I wasn't calling them for fear of making a big fuss. Crean explained quietly.

"You're doing the right thing. William did not hesitate to compliment.

Then he handed the horse to the staff of the tavern, and strode straight into the tavern.

Crean hurriedly led someone to follow.

It's a mess in the tavern!

Tables, benches, and guardrails were broken, counters were destroyed, and sawdust was everywhere.

Wine glasses, trays, beer bottles, scattered everywhere.

It was in such a ruin, a tavern worker with a bruised nose and swollen face who had been beaten was standing attentively on the side, and two people were giving him medicine.

It seems that this is their own side.

William turned his head and looked to the other side.

I saw a young officer, sitting on the only intact bench with a grim expression, his fingers tapping on the table in an orderly manner, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Behind the young officer, there stood five or six schadenfreude soldiers with arrogant and domineering expressions. When they saw William coming, they didn't even look at him, and they were very proud.

Crean beckoned at this time and asked the tavern staff with a blue nose and swollen face to come over: "This is Young Master William." ”

As if surprised by William's youth, the tavern staff was stunned, and then bowed his head resignedly.

"Does it still hurt?" asked William kindly.

The man shook his head like a rattle.

"I've brought some good medicine for my wounds, and you'll come to me in private to get it. But now I have a question for you. ”

After a pause, William continued, "Why did they beat you? ”

The man's heart was moved, and he opened his mouth to tell the process and development of the matter, as well as the final result, in great detail.

After listening to this, William finally figured it out.

It turned out that these ruffians returned from the border battlefield, and some of them were a little flustered. I was drunk tonight, so I naturally wanted to call a few prostitutes to vent, but this service was not available in the tavern.

The staff explained again and again, but the ruffians didn't listen, directly smashed the cup, smashed the field, and beat the staff member violently.

Then, the situation expanded, and what happened next was not much different from what Crian said.

William finally understood.

"You fart! It's clear that you're impatient and insult us first! We ask you to apologize, but you won't, so we'll do it. ”

Behind the young officer, a ruffian pointed at the staff member with a blue nose and swollen face, and suddenly scolded.

"I didn't lie! Master William, I really didn't scold them, I can swear, I can swear!" panicked the staff with a blue nose and swollen face.

"Swear there's a fart. ”

The soldier sneered: "I scolded you, and I swore that I didn't scold you, so didn't I really scold you?"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the soldiers burst into laughter.

William's brow furrowed.

The young officer waved his hand to stop the ruffian's laughter.

He turned his head and finally looked at William for once: "You should be the person in charge here, right? You have asked everything you should ask, and you have understood everything you should know, please give us justice and give us an explanation." ”
