Chapter 5: One-year period

"Are you tempting me? Well, to be honest, this offer has made me very excited, and it is not difficult to pay the tax of a thousand gold coins for your Lester family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gradually, the young inspector's face retracted a hesitant look, and he asked solemnly, "Although the beer tastes very good, how can you guarantee that your Lester family's beer business will definitely start?"

William smiled confidently: "I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy, I can't give you any guarantees. If I had to say it, my name William Rest is the greatest guarantee!"

As soon as these words came out, the inspector and his father, Baron Bazado, were stunned.

I'm so confident!

There are several kinds of self-confidence, one is the self-confidence of ignorance, looking down on people and things in the world, not knowing anything, and naturally self-confidence.

The other is confident self-confidence. Everything is clear in your heart, you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, so you are confident.

The young inspector felt that William belonged to the latter.

He pondered for a long time.

Somehow, maybe it was the inspector Murfair who saw the business opportunity, maybe his brain was caught in the iron door, anyway, he finally agreed.

"Well, I, Murfair, am willing to pay your taxes in my own name with a thousand gold coins. Also, I'm not a greedy person, I'll give another 1,000 gold coins for free to fund your beer business. However, please keep in mind that the period is only one year. ”

"In addition, I have one more condition. After three days, you have to go through the affirmation of the sommelier I have hired for this matter to count!"

Inspector Murfair was a little worried.

If the Rest family's beer business starts, he will be able to earn 8,000 gold coins with 2,000 gold coins and a year's time!

If the beer business fails, everyone in the Lester family will become beggars, and he will lose a whopping 2,000 gold coins!

It's a big gamble!

A big gamble of great confidence for William. A gamble full of apprehension for the inspector. A big gamble full of shock for his father, Baron Bazado!

In fact, Baron Bazado was still in shock when Inspector Murfair walked out of the castle and left Sunset Town in a carriage in the snowstorm.

He looked at his smiling son, William Rest, with surprise written on his face.

"Little one, are you still my son? Not only have you succeeded in brewing beer, but you have done something that I could not have done. And just now, as a negotiator, you successfully persuaded Murphy to temporarily solve the problem of the Lester family's tax payment this year!"

William quipped, "Of course I'm your son!, in fact, I've always been good, but you didn't notice it before, Father!"

"You stinky boy, how can anyone boast about yourself like this!"

Baron Bazado laughed when he heard William's boastful words, and directly raised William above his head, saying happily and proudly: "My dear little William, worthy of being my son, what you did today is really great!"

"Father, let me go. ”

"What's wrong?"

"You wait. ”

William trotted away.

A short time later, he came back in the snowstorm with a large glass full of beer.

"Father, I still have a little material left in the lab, and I've used it all. Taste the beer. ”

"Good, good. ”

Baron Bazado smiled with joy.

He took the big beer glass and glanced at the little snowflakes floating in it, but instead of drinking it, he stared at William with a smile, and the corners of his mouth gradually became moist.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" William was stunned.

"No, I'm happy. ”

Baron Bazado was indeed very happy and extremely pleased.

He drank all the beer in one gulp and partyed with William until late at night, when father and son finally fell asleep.

This night, William had a rare restful night's sleep, and he slept very deeply, many of whom had never been so relaxed.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

It snowed for almost three days and three nights, and it was a very cold season, but the sun rarely appeared in the sky. Expelling the cold, the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the land, bringing a little warmth.

A carriage carrying a large heavy box drove into the sunset town, and the rolling wheels made a 'gurgle' sound of the snow, driving out a long car mark.

Behind the groom sat a well-dressed and elegant man with an extraordinary temperament.

Not long after, Captain Dodora appeared with a team of guards. He and his guards dispersed the crowd and led the carriage into the largest building in the center of Sunset Town, the castle of the Lester family.

The Inspector Murphy finally arrived, bringing a thousand gold coins as promised!

This news quickly reached the ears of the lords, Baron Bazado and William.

As a sign of respect, the well-dressed Bazado and William greeted them at the gate of the castle.

"You must be Baron Bazado and Master William, right? I am the sommelier invited by old Mr. Moffett, and call me Pete. As soon as they met, the elegant man jumped out of the carriage and was the first to introduce himself.

"Hello, Mr. Pete. ”

With a smile on his face, Baron Bazado welcomed Pete into the castle and began to instruct the servants to light the stove and serve hot tea.

"I'm sorry, Baron Bazado. I'm here to try the beer, and if you can, you can wait for the tea. Pete, the elegant man, got straight to the point.

In that case, Baron Bazado and William wasted no time. Soon, a pot of beer with a golden color was presented to the tea table.

This pot of beer is the latest brew made by William in the past three days. In order to make the taste better, he also added some other condiments for brewing.

I saw the taster Pete, who looked around the pot for a moment, couldn't help but nod and praised: "The color is very good, golden and beautiful." And the liquor is so clear that in terms of appearance, this beer has even surpassed the tribute ale. ”

After commenting on the colors, Pete became more and more interested.

He circled around the tea table, slowly approached the beer flask, and took a deep breath of the beer's unique aroma.

"Good, good. After smelling the fragrance, Pete couldn't help but praise again, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then, the ring on Pete's hand flashed, and he took out a beautiful and clean silver wine glass out of nowhere, and a pair of extremely clean white gloves appeared on his hand.

He slowly poured out half a glass of beer, held it in his hand, shook it gently, and sniffed the aroma of the beer.

Others may think that Pete's movements are elegant and calm, professional and artistic, but William is speechless.

It's beer, it's not red wine, shake it with a hammer. Shake it a few more times, and the beer bubbles will overflow.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

When the beer bubbles were about to overflow, Pete finally stopped in embarrassment. And the people pretended not to see it.

"Ahem, ahem. I'll taste the beer again. If it tastes so good, I'm more than happy to keep the 1,000 gold coins I brought. ”

Pete coughed twice and took a sip of the beer in the glass, and William couldn't help but say, "Mr. Pete, I think you should take a big sip so that you can feel the hearty taste." ”

"Okay. Master William, I heard that you made the beer? ”

This time, Pete took another sip. It's no longer the previous small drink, but a big habitual sip.

Seeing that Pete finished drinking, everyone's eyes were focused on his face, waiting for him to say something.

"Uh......"

Pete humiliated Sven with a long burp.

The crowd was still looking at him.

"Well, it tastes very good, and it's much better than ale. As soon as Pete finished speaking, at the end, he poured another full glass, raised his head and drank it all.

As a sommelier, Lao Tzu has even tasted the imperial wine of the court, but he has never drunk such a delicious wine...... Beer!"

Pete's evaluation this time was much more bold, and he even did not hesitate to burst into foul language, which attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone laughed.

They all know that this one thing is done!

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

When Pete got into the carriage and left, he left behind the heavy box full of gold coins, as agreed in the contract.

A whole thousand gold coins!

For the wealthy Lester family in the past, a thousand gold coins may not be a lot, but in the current situation, it is a very large amount.

As for the question of how to spend the 1,000 gold coins, Baron Bazado did not act arbitrarily, but chose to convene an internal meeting of the family to negotiate together.

There were only three people to attend the meeting. William and Baron Bazado, father and son, and the old butler Bill.

During the whole process, almost William and his son discussed, and the old butler Bill listened and rarely spoke.

In the end, the result was discussed. This thousand gold coins will be used in the construction of the beer brewery first.

At the back of Sunset Town, there is a valley called 'Sunset Valley'.

There, originally a distillery belonging to the Lester family, was dedicated to the production of sunset ales. After the fall of the Lester family, Sunset Valley has been deserted, no one cares, and it has become overgrown with weeds, becoming a paradise for all kinds of small animals and insects.

Now, both William and Baron Bazado have decided to rebuild it as a beer brewery.

First, it would save a lot of gold, and second, it was a good place to be in the territory of the Lester family, otherwise the location of the Sunset Ale Distillery would not have been chosen in the first place.

Soon, Baron Bazado, in his capacity as lord, issued a decree ordering the captain Dodora to re-recruit the workers of the brewery in the town.
