Chapter 16: The Factory Directly under the Goblin Empire
Winemaking is a technical job, and that's no nonsense.
There are many famous taverns in the town of Mambach, but when it comes to famous wine, it seems that there is really nothing. The drinks are also low-quality and low-end wines.
Even if it is low-quality wine, not to mention the people in the slums, even the ordinary residents of the town cannot afford to consume it.
Therefore, 'wine' is a high-grade 'luxury drink'.
"Brewing wine in the slums doesn't seem to be very suitable."
Li Yinguang muttered.
The butler Goda asked in a low voice, "Master, do you really know how to make wine?" ”
Li Yinguang looked at him: "In this world, is it difficult to make wine?" ”
The butler Goda thought for a moment, nodded first and then shook his head: "It's not difficult to make wine in some places, but it's a bit difficult in the town of Mambach, because the wine made in the town itself will be sour!" ”
"Will it be sour?"
Li Yinguang frowned, thought about it and said: "Nine times out of ten, the hygiene is not up to standard when making wine, there are too many miscellaneous bacteria, and the seal is not good. ”
Whether he wasn't sure was it, because the 'sweet grass vine' hadn't turned into wine yet.
It stands to reason that in the steampunk world, there is no shortage of related technologies, containers and everything, and the old man Zhou in the black-hearted grocery store can get koji, which means that koji is very popular.
Li Yinguang shook his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to.
There is a technical threshold for winemaking, and anyone can make wine, but not everyone can make good wine. In fact, wine that has not been blended may not taste very good!
Delicious is only one aspect, if you want to sell at a higher price, popularity is the key, that is, the power of 'brand'.
Li Yinguang thought of something, his eyes flashed and said: "By the way, the second issue of 'Mambach Town Tabloid Newspaper' adds an advertisement in a more eye-catching place!" ”
"Advertising?"
For Goda, the butler, it's obviously a new term.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Yes, it's an advertisement, and the wine we will make in the future will be called 'noble ancient wine'." The advertising slogan says, 'The nobility in wine is ancient wine, and after drinking ancient wine, this life is better than the nobility.' The town tabloids of Mambach are published free of charge under the auspices of noble liquor'! ”
Although Bruce is a down-and-out aristocrat, he is also a nobleman, and he turned around and moved the brewery, well, at best, to the 'Castle', and made wine in the Castle Ironclad City, isn't it 'Ancient Wine'?
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the name 'noble ancient wine'.
After discussing with the steward Goda, he moved the place where the wine was to be made back to the 'Castle', and the safety factor in the Iron City was at least several grades higher than that in the slums.
It is true that there is no trace of wine, but it does not prevent the advertising of 'aristocratic ancient wine' from being advertised first, and the grain and grass are not advertised first.
'Purple vine', also known as 'sweet grass vine', can not only make wine, but also make incense.
'Incense' has two meanings, one is spice, and spice can be made into sachets, incense balls, aromatherapy and other things. One is perfume.
'Sweet grass vine' can be used as a natural flavor, and it can be blended to make perfumes by extracting internal phytogenins.
Compared with alcohol, whether it is spices or perfumes, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to enjoy, not only is the expensive price prohibitive, but its effect is not suitable for the ordinary class of the poor.
Spice is an ornament, perfume is a cosmetic product, mostly used to be placed in a comfortable place, or used on a comfortable person.
Three meals at a time, hungry, people who live a life of licking blood with knives in order to make a living, what do they spend a lot of money to buy it?
The only people who like 'incense' are rich aristocrats and women.
The process of making incense is complicated, and there is really no way to explore it by yourself without the guidance of a master, and in terms of extraction, people with alchemy skills can do this.
Bruce is a down-and-out nobleman and a ninth-rate alchemist, plus he inherited all of Old Dick's alchemy books and experiences.
Li Yinguang is in the 'alchemy' part, which is not ...... A bit of a skill.
Raw materials and all kinds of equipment were also procured, and they were all moved back to the 'Castle', but the outside world didn't know what was being transported to the 'Castle', and they thought it was materials for repairing the deck, or buying fuel and supplies.
Only the old man Zhou in the black-hearted grocery store understood that this kid had not purchased metal materials to repair the 'Ancient Castle' Ironclad City at all, and he had not even purchased the basic materials needed for the daily life of the Ironclad City.
In the past, the first thing any ironclad city lord would do after entering the town was to replenish all kinds of supplies, because no one knew what would happen in the next second, the camp would be attacked, hostile forces would invade, and powerful marauders would appear.
The Ironclad City is a hunter who travels the wasteland!
But like the 'Castle', there is only one Z3 smelting furnace left, or is it the iron armored city that is about to be scrapped, and go hunting in the wasteland?
Leave the docks in Mambach and he'll have to be prey!
The preparation for brewing does not need to be completed by Li Yinguang himself, and there is no rush to make spices and perfumes.
In the afternoon, Li Yinguang went to the 'goblin craftsman shop' recommended by Old Man Zhou.
The goblin race is a low-key, secretive and ancient race, and they are humanoids like dwarves and elves, and some people call them dwarfs and small peoples.
Compared to dwarves, goblins are smaller, not as stocky as dwarves, have no developed muscles, can't carry sledgehammers, and don't have wings like elves.
The goblin clan is not only a natural craftsman, which is very similar to the dwarf race, but also a natural alchemist and wizard with strong spiritual power.
Therefore, the people of the goblin clan are very intelligent and united, according to the description of the steward Godda, as far as he knows, almost all the goblins come from the goblin kingdom, no matter where the 'goblin artisan shop' is, they are all under the direct management of the goblin kingdom.
Goblins live underground, with an average height of just over a meter, and their sharper nose is their most obvious representative.
Because of their excellent minds and talents, many of the Iron Armor Cities will specially hire goblins to serve as think tanks or planners.
The 'Goblin Craftsman' is also known to the housekeeper Goda, the most famous mechanical specialty shop in the town of Mambach.
This has also been confirmed from Old Man Zhou's mouth, the goblins control very good mechanical manufacturing equipment and processes in their hands, and various types of smelting furnaces and even weapons can be bought from them.
The 'Goblin Craftsman' is located in the middle of the busiest street in the town of Manbach, and it covers a large area, but it seems that there are not many people coming in and out.
When Li Yinguang walked in, there was only one pocket villain in the huge store who was busy cleaning up.
"Welcome to the Goblin Empire's factory, do you want to buy something?"
A crisp voice came from beside him.
Li Yinguang looked down, and the whole person was stunned, such a beautiful 'little' girl.
