Lin greeted the two nobles in front of him with the etiquette of a magician. After all, it is on other people's territory, and the other party's attitude seems to be friendly, so there is no need to insist on making the other party an enemy.

After the introduction of the White Sword Saint William Greco, Baron Engels cordially invited Lin and his party to dinner, including the silver-bearded dwarf and two apprentices who were regarded as his retinue. At this time, Fen slowly and methodically used the magic of the levitation technique in the usual way of a magician, and slowly moved to the big ship and came behind someone.

There is also a crying and follow-up who screams desperately in other people's heads. Although he kept the promise not to speak in front of people, he couldn't stand the bombardment in his head. Fortunately, I had done the same remote positioning program as the Eye of the Spy, and in a flash, I took the box cut in my hand again.

The sudden appearance of the weapon, of course, caused a commotion among the baron's bodyguards. Lin had to explain: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's just a cane, it won't hurt anyone." By the way, he wiped his hand on the blade of the sword, showing that it was unharmed, and only then did he reassure the conscientious guards a little.

Before the banquet belonging to the nobles began, everyone rested and chatted in the reception room of the big ship. That's when William Greco talked about his search for rice wine.

After leaving the Wadwo tribe, William Greco did not run around like a headless fly, but directly looked for possible clues through his own connections. But there is no news about 'rice'.

As an excellent channel for the transportation of goods, the golden waterway will of course have all kinds of business news and gossip flowing in it. Therefore, it became one of the ways for William to find rice.

In each of the river port cities, he exerted his influence, or approached some well-informed organizations to find the existence or news of rice, but to no avail.

Until he remembered a friend in the golden waterway, a baron with the same name as him. The other party is not only the concubine of the Grand Duke of the Vida Military State, but also married a wife with a wide range of faces.

Nguyen Thi Huy, once lost in the northeast continent, a royal descendant of a certain kingdom. That kingdom was founded more than 200 years ago, destroyed more than 100 years ago, and only passed down to three kings. This is a norm in the northeastern part of the Lost Land, which still maintains chaos to this day. To this day, the country is still being built and destroyed.

Once you understand the context of that area, you will be surprised by this phenomenon.

There are many races of Homo sapiens of different appearances in the Lost Land, unlike Earth, which only has skin color differences. And today's Homo sapiens, which has the largest number of mysteries and the strongest comprehensive strength, is undoubtedly 'human'. And what about the rest of Homo sapiens?

Also, how many races of Homo sapiens other than humans have the means to establish and defend their own kingdom under the watchful eye of the human kingdom, like the kingdom of the elves of Pyathaime?

If they join the human kingdom, will they be given an equal status?

In conclusion, the vast majority of Homo sapiens races other than humans were driven to the northeast, a corner of the Lost Lands continent. In this land of chaos, humans no longer have the upper hand. Anytime, anywhere, there will be people who will get the majority support and build a nation; And because other people who did not support it rebelled, they lost their country.

After all, different races have different beliefs, different living habits, and even different taboos. These are not problems that can be solved by whoever cooperates, so that the fishmen live in the desert, the dwarves farm, the elves mine, and the halflings live in the cold mountains...... This may be an extreme example, but in reality, the slightest misfortune can lead to rebellion.

It's just that rebellion is not called rebellion in that chaotic place, it is called 'different aspirations'. Countless races are there, united for the sake of profit, opposed for the sake of profit, and loyalty is an out-and-out luxury in that land.

Such an environment is both a crisis and an opportunity. It was in that kind of opportunity that the ancestors of the Nguyen clan should have established a country, and then died for some reason.

It's just that before they died, they chose to spread out and bring the accumulated strength to other countries, rather than betting everything on the small kingdom they had established. Although, in the beginning, this was only done in order to enlist the support of other countries and thus consolidate their own kingdoms. But after that misfortune, this practice became the biggest reason to preserve their family's strength and survive.

Perhaps the country with its backs has perished, but those who survive have become queens of the royal family. In terms of status, even if there is no title, it is enough to run rampant in the aristocratic circle.

In terms of strength, the wealth accumulated by the Nguyen family should not be underestimated. It is used to build a private army to defend itself before other nobles, so as to use money to overcome obstacles.

In addition, different branches of clansmen are loyal to different countries, and they receive real power titles and territories in that country. And because of the blood ties between the clansmen, these different countries are connected, becoming a bridge of communication between countries, or a medium of conspiracy and calculation.

In short, in the casual conversation with Baron Engels, his wife, and the white swordmaster, someone saw the rudiments of a large multinational enterprise, and the small countries of the idle city-states were even controlled by them in turn.

It's just that one or two hundred years is not enough for this family to grow into a dinosaur. The range of their radiation is only a small part of the entire Lost Land. To those real big countries, this family is still not worth a damn.

The foundation of the Nguyen family is some industries that have not existed or have not been paid attention to before. Especially food! They had a lot of special crops, but the seeds of grain and the techniques of growing them were only spread on a small scale.

…… Speaking of this, their ancestors didn't go through the predecessors, and someone really didn't believe it.

The combination of Nguyen Thi Hue and William Engels, in addition to their own love, is also the combination of the two families behind them, wealth and power.

For example, the warship that everyone is riding on now is the Grand Duke Engels, who sold the first-line battleship of the empire that was "eliminated" because of "backwardness" in half a year after being launched to his son. The cost of buying the ship was paid from Nguyen Thi Hue's dowry.

In addition to this, a fleet of ships was established for trade. Relying on the banner of the unicorn, it is invincible on the golden waterway. These expenses, of course, are the expenses of the Nguyen family. Then the nobles of the militaristic state reaped the taxes, and the Nguyen clan made money while strengthening their own influence.

Regardless of the calculations behind these things, for a certain White Sword Master and a certain magician, the focus was on the rice brought by Nguyen Thi Hue, and it was rice.

Because of the huge difference in planting methods, rice is not very popular in Midi. And some of the extended products, of course, will not come out. Maybe it's because there are too many choices, and they don't feel like they need to do thankless things and sell things that aren't accepted by the world. Or...... The other party really doesn't know that you can use it like this?

All kinds of mysteries are difficult to delve into from the woman in front of you.

After all, it was learned from the words that Ruan Thi Hue belonged to the branch of their family, and was far from being a descendant. The reason why William Engels is on the line is purely that the two young men and women look at the mung bean and look at each other. And the identities and status of the two parties can only be regarded as idle chess for the two families, so they let the two young people combine.

Putting aside the troubles of exploring and crossing the predecessors, Lin listened carefully to the life-loving white sword saint about the hardships of winemaking.

First of all, with the rice seeds, coupled with the power of Baron Engels's family, it was not very difficult for him to ask for a piece of land as an experimental paddy field. As for the rice growth cycle, it only takes four to five months when the climate is right, and a group of professional farmers harvest the rice smoothly.

However, with the advent of rice, the second problem is how to make wine.

Because there is no experience to follow, the professional winemakers in the Engels family and the Ruan family can only try to use the existing technology. Anyway, the focus of sake brewing is 'fermentation', and the details can be adjusted according to the situation.

Some people have done it the same way as making ale, some people have done it the same way as making beer, some people have tried to make wine the same way they have done it, and there are all kinds of strange methods that have been turned out and used. William Greco, on the other hand, looked for a wine that was suitable for warm drinking. As in the case of various types of research, the trial-and-error method is used.

Such a toss really made him make some fame. At least according to William Greco, warm wine was well received in a small range of tastings. In fact, this is also the reason why Baron Engels is willing to help. Wine, in itself, is a profitable thing.

During the casual conversation, the baron knew that William Greco's idea came from the magician in front of him, so he directly asked a bottle of each of the several drinks he thought was suitable. Lin also directly tasted the taste of cold wine first. At the same time, there are also the brewers in charge.

After trying them one by one, Lin felt that there were several flavors that were already very similar to earth rice wine, but the flavor was very strong. When I remembered the taste I had drunk and asked a few brewers, I knew what the problem was.

Unlike some natural fermentation methods, grain-based sake requires koji to help ferment. Miji also has koji making techniques, but these are all wheat-based koji used to make ale wine. There is a slight difference in taste from rice koji.

The second is that after the brewing is completed, has there been a heating process, and how many times? However, none of these wines have undergone this method, because heating the finished product is not a standard brewing method. Without heating, the yeast in the sake continues to ferment. At this time, the storage environment will be very particular, and if the storage is not good, the wine may be rancid.

Anyway, after a round of tasting, Lin started to talk to the 'professional' brewers about how to make wine. Of course, I don't know much about the knowledge of brewing, but it doesn't prevent someone from telling some bluffing truths.

But it's all something that hasn't been done before, and these experts don't think much of a magician's fingers. On the contrary, it was the baroness and the couple who didn't understand, and the white sword saint, who were stunned by someone.

In order to win or lose with these experts, you have to start on the finished product and make the wine taste better. Otherwise, the light will come out of the mouth, but it will not convince the brewers who have mastered a craft.
