Chapter 102 Drunk Anna
"My Lord, the price is not high. If a delicacy like wine were priced lower, it would be your loss."
Thomas smiled and explained to Gervis respectfully.
"The best beer can be sold for 5 silver coins per pot in Rose Castle. Although you can buy a pot for only one silver coin, even the best beer cannot compare with your wine. 10 silver coins is already the lowest price!"
"Ten silver coins?"
Gervis was a little hesitant. He was completely in the dark about the prices in this world. He didn't have much knowledge about this in the memories inherited from the original owner. After all, they were just starting out now, and the prices would definitely have to be higher in the future, with products divided into different grades. This would stimulate the purchasing desire of those nobles. Gervis even thought about getting a lower-end one, and even wanted to earn the silver coins in the hands of the free people. After all, there was a huge population base there, and a little bit of money accumulated would make a lot, which should not be underestimated.
"Okay, then let's set this price first, and then adjust it according to the situation!"
Suddenly, Gervis had an idea. He remembered that grapes can be sweet or sour, and grape trees can be big or small. It would not be too late to classify and plan the prices according to the situation.
"Yes, sir!"
"Thomas, remember this. Tomorrow, inform all the people in the territory that they can pick these wild grapes and bring them to the castle. The castle will pay for them. One copper coin for every 10 kilograms. When you deliver them, do not crush the grapes. They must be ripe. Also, do not damage the grape vines. If anyone is found damaging the grape vines without permission, they will be punished with 10 lashes."
The grape business was on the agenda, and Gervis became excited, so the price increased a lot. The grape vines were short and not difficult to pick, and a vine might weigh dozens of kilograms, so as long as the serfs found a patch of wild grape vines, it would be a considerable income.
After the serfs had picked all the grapes, Gervis prepared to transplant some large grape vines and plant them near the castle.
"Yes, sir, I will go and explain it to them personally tomorrow!"
Thomas already knew the deliciousness of the wine, so of course he did not dare to neglect it. He could imagine that once the wine became known to other nobles, it would definitely become their new favorite.
"thump!"
"kindness?"
Just when Gervis and Thomas were about to finish their conversation, the sound of a body falling to the ground was heard in the restaurant. Puzzled, Gervis and Thomas turned around and saw that Yura was squatting on the ground, holding on to the wall with both hands, trying to stand up. His face had turned red, although not as obvious as Anna's just now because of his skin condition, but he was definitely drunk.
"Oh my god, I'm really drunk!"
Seeing Yura's staggering appearance and red face, Gervis was speechless. He thought it should be fine with less than one glass, but he didn't expect that he was still drunk.
Although the alcohol content of the wine was not high, it was very strong. Gervis didn't know that for Yura, who had never drunk alcohol before, this was simply a glass of wine that made him drunk.
"My Lord..., I..."
Yura stumbled and tried to get up from the ground, but his body was still swaying and he had no strength. He also knew that he had lost his manners in front of Gervis. He wanted to apologize, but he felt that his words were not clear and his head was dizzy.
"Okay, no more talking, go and rest first!" Seeing Yura like this, Gervis could only smile bitterly. He was the one who gave her the wine, and it should be the half glass at the end that made her drunk.
Gervis took two quick steps forward, grabbed Yura's arm, lifted her up, and then steadyed Yura's body.
"Anna, please send Yura to her room and sleep!"
After stabilizing Eula, Gervis turned to look for Anna, preparing to let Anna help Eula to go to her maid dormitory to rest. But when Gervis turned around, he saw that Anna was also staggering, her fair little face was already red, and even her fair neck had turned red.
When Anna heard Gervis calling her, she turned slightly, but she lost her balance and fell into Gervis' arms. In an instant, Gervis was embraced by the little maid.
"Oh my god, I shouldn't have let you drink!"
Gervis was helpless. It was all his own fault. He insisted on giving them a second cup. Now the two maids were drunk and couldn't even stand steadily.
"Thomas, take the jug of wine and my cup to the study, I'll take them back to rest!"
Although Gervis now really enjoys the feeling of having these two little maids hanging on him, he is a gentleman and never takes advantage of others. Moreover, this mistake was caused by himself, so of course he has to send them back to rest himself. As for Thomas, he should just hold on to his wine jar.
"Yes, sir!"
When Thomas saw the two maids leaning against Gervis, he immediately turned away and made no move to help, nor did he plan to call other servants. Instead, he pretended not to see them and drank the few sips of wine left in his glass. After hearing Gervis's instructions, he responded weakly.
After getting Thomas's response, Gervis did not stay any longer. He held Anna's waist with his left hand and Yura's arm with his right hand, and slowly walked out of the restaurant. Fortunately, Gervis was strong enough, otherwise it would be difficult for him to lift the two drunk maids by himself.
Eula's room was on the first floor of the castle, so Gervis quickly sent Eula there. Next was Anna. Since Anna became Gervis's personal maid, her resting place was arranged on the third floor, where there were rooms specially prepared for personal servants, and now it was for Anna to live in.
"My lord, I'm sorry!"
Anna was staggering as she was helped up the stairs by Gervis, but she still had some consciousness and kept apologizing to Gervis as she walked.

"It's okay, I told you to drink it, just rest assured, there's nothing to do tonight anyway!"
Gervis looked at Anna's rosy little face, smelled the aroma of wine, and replied to Anna softly.
"You are so handsome, my lord!"
Suddenly, not knowing whether she was drunk or emboldened by the alcohol, Anna spoke in a voice quieter than a mosquito.
"What?"
Gervis opened his eyes wide, looking at the delicate little maid Anna, wondering if he had heard it wrong. However, when he looked at the little maid, she had closed her eyes, as if she was drunk and unconscious. Only her white neck became even more blushing.
This was the first time that Gervis had received such compliments. Although he was quite handsome on Earth, he had no money and no one had ever praised him like this, especially from such a simple girl. This was not Earth, and girls were basically as simple as paper. To be able to say such words was absolutely from the heart.
Seeing Anna like this, Gervis stopped asking questions. Although the maid spoke in a low voice, he heard it clearly. However, he found it hard to believe that the cute little maid who was always well-behaved and looked weak would say such words. That was why he was a little surprised and thought he had heard it wrong.
After a while, Gervis helped Anna to her own room. After covering her with a blanket, Gervis went to the study.
"Sir, the wine has been placed on your desk!"
As soon as Thomas walked out of the study, he saw Gervis. He was a little surprised to see that Gervis' arms were empty, but he didn't dare to ask more. He immediately saluted Gervis and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Thomas. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the study and read for a while!"
Gervis didn't notice anything strange about Thomas, nodded to him, and walked into the study.
