"Master, the rum 🍷 you spoke of has already been brewed, would you like to taste it? Chrissy walked over with a bottle of wine and said.

The last time Jean came back from Carthus, he bought back a group of slaves, including a few slaves who could make wine, and some of the waste honey left over from the sugar extraction in the territory, because of technology, these waste honey containing a lot of sugar could no longer be extracted from white sugar.

It is very wasteful to throw it away, so Suren is like using these waste honey to make rum, in the previous life, rum was born because of waste honey, when South America planted sugarcane in a large area, and sugarcane also produced a large amount of waste honey after sugar extraction.

Those plantation owners invented the use of waste honey to make rum, just at that time due to the problems of technology, the fresh water carried by long-term sea drifting is easy to spoil, and the most important thing is that rum can cure sepsis. Therefore, many ships carried a large amount of alcohol, which could be stored for a long time and deteriorate, and the sailors would not get sepsis.

As a result, rum spread around the world with the Great Voyage, and the production of rum from waste honey became another source of income for these plantation owners.

It is still very good to use waste honey to make wine, and you can get a lot of wine without consuming food, which is good news for Sulun, who is short of food. In this era, there were very few forms of entertainment, even in the southern city of Karen, the entertainment among the nobles was nothing but hunting and feasting.

There were few bard or circus performances, and even fewer common entertainment, most often with a drink in a tavern. There are a lot of barbarians here in Su Lun, all of them are elite and strong men, and they are full of energy every day, in order to let them vent their excess energy, Su Lun specially built a school field for them to compete.

The same is true for the preparation of alcohol now, and there is another reason, the trade of the territory has begun, and as time goes by, more and more caravans will arrive, which will definitely bring a large number of mercenaries and caravan guards, and these people will definitely need to find entertainment venues.

There are no seafood merchants in Sulun's territory, and there is no young lady who sells abalone, and the construction of spiritual civilization has a long way to go. Therefore, you can only come to the tavern, mercenaries and guards are not low-paying, and the money is also cheap, as long as the tavern is established, it will definitely become an important income-generating project in the camp.

What is the reason not to do this kind of thing that solves the waste of honey, increases the way of entertainment, and can also make money, killing three birds with one stone.

Taking the rum, Suren first smelled it, there was a faint aroma of wine, and poured out the liquor, the rum liquor showed an amber color, Suri tasted it slightly, and it tasted good. The taste was refreshing and fragrant, much stronger than the ales he had drunk before.

The ale wine that Suren bought before was a low-priced product, and it was a little sour to drink, and those merchants added a lot of water to it, and this kind of ale was also the most popular in the tavern, who made it cheap enough, only two copper nars, and you could drink a glass.

It can be said that the ale is actually water with a little alcohol, which is far from the rum that is too bad.

"This wine tastes pretty good. Putting the cup down, Su Lun said in a good mood.

"This rum is one of the best tasting they ever make. Chrissy took Suren's unfinished glass and tasted it.

"How much does it cost?" asked Suren, and if the cost of the wine was too high, he would have to sell it as a high-end wine, and then continue to brew a low-cost wine.

"According to your instructions, rum is made from waste honey, which is diluted with a large amount of water, and then fermented with yeast, and the cost of a barrel of 100 liters of rum is about 20 kinnars. Chrissy said with a few treasures.

Su Lun made a quick calculation, and this price still had no price advantage compared to ale.

"Master, these rums can be diluted with water, and the one you drink is undiluted. Chrissy explains with a smile, "This wine can be diluted twice, and it tastes much lighter in comparison, but it is still much better than ale." ”

"Then dilute it twice, and you can calculate the price. Su Lun directly agreed, adding water to wine is a normal operation in this era, of course, high-end wine will not do this.

"We will make this rum into a low-grade wine and a high-end wine, and the high-end wine will be given a better name, and the taste will be blended, and we will sell the two wines together. Suren said.

"Okay, I'll go and tell them to do it. Chrissy nodded.

"By the way, add thirty points to each of the slaves who make the wine, and give fifty points to the one who makes the wine. Suren commanded.

"Let them mix the drinks as soon as possible. ”

Chrissy nodded, then left with rum.

The wine-making slaves quickly blended two kinds of wine according to Suren's request, and the high-end rum was clearer, almost transparent, with a peculiar fruity aroma, a refreshing and sweet taste, and a very good aroma.

The taste of low-grade rum 🍺 is much worse, but it tastes refreshing, the color is translucent reddish-brown, and it is still much better than ale in terms of appearance and taste, and the cost is also controlled to ten silver nares a barrel, which is close to the price of ale.

The price of high-end rum 🥂 was even more expensive, and after blending, the rum was sold in a barrel of twenty kinnars, and Suren was going to build a glass factory in the territory and then bottle it for sale. Not much for a bottle, two kinnars. A barrel can hold at least two hundred bottles.

Su Lun also gave this wine a name, Hanlu wine, and by the way, made up another story to raise the value of this wine. This was already a commonplace marketing method in previous lives, but it was definitely the first time to use it in this world.

As long as the story is touching enough and the wine tastes good, the wine will soon be marketable. Of course, if Su Lun had enough connections to let the king use this drink in the palace banquet, it would be better, but if he had connections, would he go to this place where birds don't to open up the wasteland?

After the wine was made, Suren immediately began to build a tavern in the town, and the location of the tavern had already been chosen, and the construction could start directly. The progress of the tavern was very fast, and it took only two days for a tavern that could accommodate seventy or eighty people to be built.

[Tavern: Town building, lively tavern can let people relax after a day of work, and have a glass of wine, the appearance of the tavern makes the town more prosperous, the existence of the tavern will attract some people who like wine, prosperity +5, pleasure +5, information +5, security -2, special effects: There is a chance to attract wandering heroes to stay here. 】
