Chapter 138: Something Weird
"Baron Gervais, do you have a lot of this golden wine?"
When Pat heard this, he was instantly moved, and he couldn't wait, even if he soaked his whole body in it, it would be no problem for him to soak his whole body in it.
"It's not a lot, but it should be enough to satisfy the consumption of the entire county!"
Gervais did not deceive Pat at this point, because the grapes are all picked from wild vines, because there is no artificial care and cultivation, even if the entire territory is turned over, it is almost six or seven thousand catties of grapes, even if some can be purchased from serfs one after another, but the total number will not exceed ten thousand catties.
10,000 catties of grapes sounds terrifying, but there will be loss when making wine, even if it is calculated without loss, it is not much, the population of the Earl of Jones is millions, whether there is a territory or not, there are at least thousands of nobles on the register, and an average of a few catties per person can immediately hollow out Gervais's wine.
What's more, a rich little nobleman like Pat says that it is not much, and it is not too much to say less, as long as they are favored, it is normal for one person to buy dozens or hundreds of catties,
"Oh, that's not much. How much is Baron Gervais going to sell a pot at? ”
Pat's heart was finally calmed down, if such a delicious golden wine could be made and sold all year round like wheat, then in a few years, Gervais would definitely be richer than the Jones family.
Pat asked, but Gervais didn't answer immediately, because he had just taken another sip of wine in his mouth and couldn't speak, so without thinking about it, he raised his hand and made a 1 gesture to indicate that he was ready to sell it at this price.
"1 gold coin a pot?"
When Pat saw Gervais's gesture, he instantly understood that although the price was a little high, it was not expensive, after all, this golden wine was extraordinary, and it was rare to be expensive, and the price was acceptable.
Just as Pat guessed the price and was about to say that he wanted to buy 5 jugs of golden wine, he saw Gervais puff out his cheeks and shake his head, put down the silver cup in his hand, and made a cross with both hands.
"Ten gold coins?"
Pat frowned slightly, but the price was a bit outrageous.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
Hearing Pat's guess getting more and more outrageous, Gervais almost choked on the wine, and quickly swallowed the wine in his mouth, and continued with a smooth breath: "10 silver coins!" ”
"What? A pot of 10 silver coins? ”
Pat almost stood up from his chair, this wine Gervais only sold for 10 silver coins a pot, which surprised him too much, after all, his expression was already very clear just now, even if it was 1 gold coin a pot, he was ready to buy a few pots, but Gervais did not push the boat down the river, but said such a low price, such a price, but slightly more expensive than the top beer.
"Yes, Baron Pat, the price is 10 silver coins a pot for the time being, of course, there are also quality wines, 10 silver coins is only a medium level, other high-quality wines need to wait for a later price, like the one we drink now is a medium-quality golden wine."
Doing business Gervais only recognizes one criterion, that is, not to pit customers, although he just wanted to temporarily increase the price, but he didn't think it was interesting, after all, such as Pat's rich little nobles are a minority, if the price is raised, it is estimated that few in the entire Jones Earldom can afford to consume it, wine is not a golden oyster, this is a long-term business.
Now it's only a few gold coins to pit a pat, but it is not cost-effective to offend a neighbor nobleman because of these few gold coins.
"Baron Gervais, your noble qualities are what I have seen in my life!"
This sentence is Pat's heartfelt words, although most nobles claim to be noble, but many times they are drilled into the eyes of money, and they will never let go of a pit, even if it is a copper plate, they want to pull it off from others.
"Baron Gervais, I want to buy a barrel of wine, and the money I can give you now! By the way, there are also high-quality wines, I also want to buy them, how much does it cost, Baron Gervais said. ”
A pot in this world is about 2 liters, and 5 pots are exactly one can, and 5 cans are exactly one barrel, which means that the barrel that Pat wants to buy is actually equal to 25 pots of golden wine.
"Baron Pat, I'm sorry, if you want to buy wine, you still have to wait for half a month, the wine making process takes time, and what we drink now was made when I was experimenting."
"Do you have to wait for half a month? Then I'll wait, Baron Gervais, I'll book with you first, and if the golden wine is ready, please let me know as soon as it's ready! ”
"Of course no problem!"
Gervais raised his glass to greet Pat again, but he didn't expect that one of Pat's visits brought him so many gold coins, and Gervais felt that he wanted to be friends with Pat.
"But Baron Pat, you are interested in buying golden oysters and wine, why aren't you interested in ice cubes and ice cream?"
When Pat tasted the ice cream just now, Gervais saw that Pat also liked it very much, why didn't he mention buying these now, which made Gervais feel a little strange, so he asked directly, after all, the main commodities of the caravan that was about to leave in the past two days were ice cubes and ice cream in addition to seafood.
"Uh...... Baron Gervais, will you be blamed by Lord Earl for selling ice? ”
Gervais's inquiry made Pat a little speechless, the golden oysters and the golden wine were already difficult to make a lot of money, and what made Pat wonder was why Gervais was selling the ice cubes that Alice had given him.
"Alice? Why did she blame me? Is there a law that says you can't sell ice? ”
Unbeknownst to Gervais, Pat drilled the tip of the bull's horns, thinking that his ice cubes were all gifts from Alice, and that wine and seafood could be innovated, but ice cubes could only be obtained in winter, and no one dared to believe that ice cubes could be made directly.
"Ahem! No, of course not! That Baron Gervais, how much does the golden ice cream cost! ”
Sure enough, there was no fear, Pat was not easy to explain, coughed dryly and simply asked the price directly, and bought a little to make a show, after all, Gervais's soaring was already predictable, and Pat also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship between him and Gervais.
"It's not expensive! A jar of 2 silver coins, if it is an ice cube, 1 silver coin can buy two copper basins as large as a block! ”
This jar of Gervais is specially customized by Thomas, a can can hold about a liter of ice cream, not too expensive, in order to keep the ice cream warm Gervais will also appropriately send half a copper basin-sized piece of crushed ice to ensure that the ice cream will not melt immediately.
"No need for ice cubes! I'll just buy 1 can of ice cream! ”
Pat didn't dare to buy more, Alice was his head monarch, Gervais was not afraid of her blame, but he was afraid.
"Just a can? Baron Pat, are you sure? ”
Gervais always felt that Pat was talking a little strangely, but he couldn't guess what was wrong.
"Then I'll buy two cans?"
Seeing Gervais frowning, Pat thought that Gervais was a little unhappy, and immediately hesitated slightly.
"Or ...... Three cans? ”
"It's like I'm forcing you to buy it with a musket!"
Gervais was a little speechless.
Eventually, Pat bought two cans of ice cream, and Gervais didn't ask any more questions, otherwise he really felt that he was buying and selling.
