The common people could not afford the price of Pompeii wine, while the nobles looked down on it for a while.

This is what makes Pompeii wine so awkward.

At this time, two men walked in. Shield's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

One of the two men was tall, handsome and very elegant.

The other one was sturdy, with a square face, and looked very imposing. The clothes they wore were of aristocratic style.

Shield knew this square-faced man. He was a mid-level knight hired by Baron Baron, an important guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and a descendant of the nobility.

His name was Bozi. This Bozi liked to drink beer very much and was a frequent customer of their store.

Shield didn't recognize the handsome man, but since he was with Bozi and was wearing aristocratic clothes, he was probably one of the knights of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Bozi, would you like some beer?" Shield smiled warmly and bent down to say.

"I say, Bozi, if you want to drink, drink wine. Drinking beer is too low-end." The handsome man shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Howard, you are too one-sided. Wine has the taste of wine, and beer has the taste of beer. After being used to drinking wine, it is very refreshing to drink beer. This family's beer is produced by the Pompeii family, and it always tastes good."

Bozi glanced at his companions, took a breath, and smelled the aroma of the wine with a look of intoxication.

Shield laughed secretly. Lord Bozi was a complete drunkard. According to him, although wine tasted good, the quantity was not enough. It was better to drink beer.

Thinking of this, Shield's heart moved.

The idea of ​​promoting Pompeii wine came to mind.

You know, Pompeii wine is so strong and spicy, it's really a pleasure to drink.

Howard shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Beer is beer, the beer that common people drink. It doesn't have any flavor."

It's not like he hasn't drunk beer before, and Bozi can't fool him. Anyway, he definitely won't drink beer, no matter how much Bozi said.

Bozi took one look at his companion's determined expression and gave up decisively. He said to the shield, "Give me a barrel of the best beer."

"Lord Bozi, we have recently produced new wine in Pompeii. It is definitely ten times more enjoyable to drink than beer, but it is a little more expensive, ten times more expensive than ordinary beer. Would you like to buy a barrel to try?"

Shield suggested cautiously, noticing that Bozi seemed to be in a good mood.

Nobles are nobles, and commoners are commoners. No matter how approachable Bozi behaves, his status is there, and he must be treated with caution.

Shield has been in Kaiyue City for many years and has seen the consequences of commoners offending nobles more than once.

Bozi was surprised when he heard this, and Howard sneered, "New wine? Pompey is just a knight lord. How much money does he have to research new wine? I think it's just beer. They changed the taste and called it new wine."

Apparently, in the Pompey Territory, Pompey, whose name is synonymous with prestige, does not work well in Kaiyue City.

It's no wonder. After all, there are more than 20 to 30 knight lord families in the entire barony, plus many noble knights serving the baron.

When the burden was shared, Pompeii's reputation was compromised.

Shield didn't dare to refute, but just looked at Bozi eagerly, hoping that this drunken knight could taste the poor Pompeii wine that no one wanted.

Bozi's idea is actually similar to Howard's. New wine? Ale and wine are the two major wines in the world now, so why talk about new wine?

The Pompeii family is a bit arrogant.

But Bozi is a person who likes wine after all, especially a nobleman with unique taste who likes to drink beer. It's not a big deal to try it.

After thinking for a while, Bozi said, "Okay, pour me a bowl of wine."

Then he handed it to Bozi carefully.

"Gurgle!"

The aroma of wine.

The rich aroma of wine was like a beautiful woman who came uninvited and threw herself into his arms. Smelling the aroma of wine, Bozi couldn't help swallowing.

Not only Bozi, but even Howard sniffed and felt the urge to drink.

Bozi quickly took action, took the wine bowl handed over by Shield, and gulped down the whole bowl. Then, just like old Thor.

Bozi was also infected.

It's really because of the preconceived notion of Porter. This beer smells good, but it looks no different from ordinary beer.

I guess it was just a change in taste. But after drinking it, Bozi realized that he was wrong, totally wrong.

When a bowl of wine went into his stomach, it was like a knife stabbed into it, burning his entire stomach, making his whole body hot and all his pores opened.

He couldn't bear it for a moment, and his cheeks turned red. But then, a sense of pleasure rose up, and Bozi couldn't help but scream.

“Good wine.”

"Is it really that delicious?" Howard had actually been tempted to drink and wanted to try a sip, but when he saw Bozi's shocked expression, he couldn't help but doubt.

"Pour him a glass too. I bought this barrel of beer. It's ten times more expensive than beer, right?" When Boz said this, he took out a purse, took out a gold coin from the purse, and with a ding-dong sound, flicked it to the shield.

"Okay." Shield smiled brightly when he saw the gold coins. He immediately poured a bowl of wine for Howard, sealed the barrel, and brought it to Bozi.

"It doesn't taste as good as wine, but it has one more flavor than beer, a stronger taste. Did the Pompeii family really develop a new wine?"

Howard had remembered the example of Boz before, so he took a small sip first. Then his eyes lit up and he gulped down the drink, his cheeks glowing red.

Without thinking, he took out a gold coin and gave it to the shield, saying, "Give me a bucket too."

"Okay." Shield was immediately delighted and brought another barrel of wine.

Ordinary beer costs one silver coin per barrel. A barrel weighs fifty kilograms. Pompeii wine also weighs fifty kilograms, but costs one gold coin.

Shield didn't know the cost of the Pompeii wine, but he knew that Lady Sophie would definitely not suffer any loss.

For this one gold coin, at least three silver coins are profit.

If the market is opened, the profit of a barrel of wine will be three silver coins. Apart from anything else, as long as the market in Patton's territory is opened, the income of the Pompeii family will increase several times.

It's really lucrative.

The Pompeii family became prosperous.

In fact, Shield still underestimated his wife's greed. The cost of the Pompeii wine was only three silver coins, and the profit was seven silver coins.

He is a profiteer.

Mrs. Sophie is a woman who comes from a merchant family and has a very dark heart.
