Chapter 82

"Master, the kind of rum you said ???? It's already brewed. Would you like to try it? "Chris came over with a bottle of wine.

Last time Jean came back from kart City, he bought a group of slaves, including several slaves who can make wine, and some waste honey left from squeezing sugar in the territory. Because of technology, these waste honey containing a lot of sugar can no longer extract white sugar.

It's wasteful to throw it directly, so sulun is like brewing rum with these waste honey. In previous generations, rum was born because of waste honey. At that time, sugarcane was planted in a large area in South America, and a large amount of waste honey will also be produced after sugarcane is squeezed.

Those planters invented the brewing of rum with waste honey. At that time, due to the problem of science and technology, the fresh water carried by wandering on the sea for a long time was easy to deteriorate. The key is that rum can treat sepsis. Therefore, many ships carry a large amount of alcohol, which can be preserved and deteriorated for a long time, and can prevent sailors from getting septicemia.

Therefore, rum has spread all over the world with the great voyage. Brewing waste honey into rum has also become another source of income for these planters.

It's good to use waste honey to brew wine. 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 ways of entertainment. Even in Karen city in the south, the entertainment between nobles was nothing but hunting and banquet.

There are few performances by bards or circuses, and there are fewer ways for civilians to entertain. The most common way is to go to a pub for a drink. Sulun has a lot of barbarians here, all of whom are strong and energetic. In order to let them vent their excess energy, sulun specially built a school field for them to compete.

The same is true for the preparation of liquor now, and there is another reason. The trade of the territory has begun. With the passage of time, more and more caravans will come, which will certainly bring a large number of mercenaries and caravan guards. These people must find entertainment places.

There are no seafood merchants in sulun's territory, nor does the little sister who sells abalone. There is a long way to go in the construction of spiritual civilization. Therefore, people like mercenaries and guards can only come to the tavern. The salary is not low, and the money is easy. As long as the tavern is established, it will definitely become an important income generating project in the camp.

There is no reason not to do this kind of thing, which solves the waste honey, increases the way of entertainment, and can make money.

After taking the rum, Su Lun smelled it first. There was a faint aroma. He poured out the liquor. The liquor of rum showed amber color. Su Li tasted it slightly and it tasted good. It tastes fresh and fragrant, much better than the ale he had drunk before.

The wheat wine Su Lun bought before was cheap and a little sour. The merchants added a lot of water here. This kind of wheat wine is also the most popular in the tavern. Who makes it cheap enough? You can drink a cup with only two copper dinars.

It can be said that wheat wine is actually water with a little alcohol, which is far worse than these rum.

"The wine tastes good," sullen said in a good mood as he put the glass down.

"This rum is the best they've ever brewed," Chris said, taking a taste of Suellen's unfinished glass.

"How much is the cost?" asked sulun. If the cost of the wine is too high, he can only sell it as high-grade wine, and then continue to brew low-cost drinks.

"According to your instructions, rum is brewed with waste honey, in which a large amount of water is added for dilution, and then yeast is added for fermentation. The cost of a barrel of 100 liters of rum is about two jinnars," said Chris.

Su Lun quickly calculated that this price still has no price advantage compared with wheat wine.

"Master, these rum can be diluted with water. You haven't diluted this one," Chris explained with a smile. "This wine can be diluted twice. It tastes much lighter than wheat wine, but it's much better than wheat wine."

"Then double the dilution and calculate the price." Su Lun directly agreed. Adding water to the wine is a normal operation in this era. Of course, high-end drinks will not do so.

"Make this kind of rum into low-grade wine and high-grade wine, change the name of high-grade wine to a better one, and mix the taste again. We sell the two kinds of wine together," sullen said.

"OK, I'll tell them to do it now." Chris nodded.

"By the way, add 30 points to each of the slaves who brewed wine, and give him 50 points to those who brewed this wine," Suellen ordered.

"Let them mix the wine as soon as possible."

Chris nodded and left with rum.

Then those wine slaves quickly prepared two kinds of wine according to sulun's requirements. The high-grade rum liquor is more clear, close to transparent, smells with a strange fruit aroma, tastes fresh and sweet, tastes sweet and fragrant, and is very good.

That cheap rum ???? The taste is much worse, but it tastes refreshing and the color is translucent reddish brown. From the appearance to the taste, it is still much better than wheat wine. Similarly, the cost has been controlled to ten silver nards a barrel. This price is close to the price of wheat wine.

Premium rum ???? The price is expensive. After blending, this kind of rum is sold in two ginals a barrel. Suellen is going to build a glass factory in the territory and then bottle it for sale. Not more than one bottle. Two ginals. A barrel can hold at least 200 bottles.

Su Lun also named this wine, cold dew wine, and made up another story to raise the price of this wine. This has been a common marketing method in previous lives, but it is definitely the first time to use it in this world.

As long as the story is moving enough and the wine tastes good, the wine will soon open a market. Of course, if Su Lun had enough contacts to let the king use this wine at the Palace Banquet, the effect would be better. But if he had contacts, would he go to the place where the birds don't shit to open up wasteland?

After the drinks were made, sulun immediately began to build a tavern in the town. The location of the tavern had been selected for a long time, and the construction could be started directly. The progress of the tavern was very fast. In only two days, a tavern that can accommodate 70 or 80 people was completed.

[pubs: urban buildings. Lively pubs can let people who have worked all day relax and drink a glass of wine. The emergence of pubs makes the town more prosperous. The existence of pubs will attract some people who like wine. Prosperity + 5, pleasure + 5, information + 5, public security - 2. Special effect: there is a chance to attract wandering heroes to stay here.]
