Chapter 195 "Adventure" (Yotsugi's Reward Plus)
…
"So, your little maid has been following the Earl these days?"
There are two restaurants in Rose Castle, one is used by the owner of Rose Castle, and the other is prepared for guests. In the restaurant prepared for guests, the owner does not need to be present. Gervis and others can come by themselves when they are hungry. There are servants waiting here all day to serve these guests.
Gervis and Pat were having dinner in this restaurant tonight. Pat, with a piece of meat in his mouth, his eyes wide open, feeling a little unbelievable that the Earl was so fond of Gervis that he not only did not punish the little maid, but kept her by his side.
Normally, wouldn't the mistress kill all these little goblins when she found them?
Gervis did not answer, but just ate the barbecue and nodded to Pat to indicate that it was true.
"Hey! Gervis, I have a question that I'm curious about and want to ask you."
After getting the affirmation, Pat finally stuffed the piece of meat on the fork into his mouth, chewed it vigorously for a few times, and then stared at Gervis and continued.
"Baron Gervis, did you not know about the personal servants before you came here?"
Pat had never thought about this question before, but as the afternoon went on, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked it now.
"have no idea……"
Gervis was also a little speechless. If he knew about this, he would have let Anna stay with the convoy. After all, it didn't matter if others talked about her, but if he blatantly brought her into the Rose Castle, it would be embarrassing for Alice if other nobles knew about it.
“You’re awesome!”
Pat was speechless and could only roll his eyes at Gervis, with the word "Awesome" popping up in his mind!
"Lord Gervis, there are a few people outside the castle who want to see you. They said you made an appointment with them when you were at the Snowy Manor!"
At this moment, a male servant came to Gervis' side, came to Gervis respectfully and reported to him.
"Oh, I'll go check it out now. You go down first."
At noon, Gervis asked the maid to take a message to the five people who took the note. Now these people probably came to find him with the note. Gervis did not neglect it. He picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands. Then he stood up to say goodbye to Pat, but he didn't expect Pat to stand up as well.
"I'll go and take a look too, hehe!"
Pat got a little drunk at the thought of wine, and was ready to have a few glasses at noon, but he met Kevin and others, who asked Gervis to distribute the wine to the guests who were auctioning. He only drank one glass, and now he was a little greedy. He planned to buy a few pots from Gervis later and keep them in his guest room to enjoy.
Of course Gervais had no objection, so he and Pat walked side by side to the castle gate leading to Winterfell. After arriving at the gate, Gervais saw five nobles in luxurious clothes. Two of them were barons and three were lords. They were holding notes and talking from time to time.
"Baron Gervis?"
When Gervis and Pat walked up to the group of people, one of them immediately asked Gervis.
Gervis and the others had never met Pat, but they had seen Pat when they were given the wine, so they immediately understood that the owner of the note had arrived.
"Yes, I'm Gervis, thank you all for coming to this lunch!"
When Gervis saw that several people were holding the five pieces of paper in their hands, which were the five pieces he had written at noon, he politely thanked the five people. After all, without their bidding, he would not have won the shop worth thousands of gold coins.
"Baron Gervis is very polite. We would like to thank Baron Gervis for sharing the delicious wine!"
When they took the note, they were also in the mood to take a gamble, but when the maid brought back Gervis' words, they were all relieved. No matter what Gervis's final purpose was, he was definitely an extraordinary person to be able to take out alcohol other than beer. Moreover, they later found out that Gervis was actually the Earl's husband.
"I won't say any more words of thanks. Please follow me in. I have prepared the golden wine!"
…
"grown ups!"
Gervis brought a few people directly to where the convoy was parked. At this moment, two guards were sitting on chairs next to the carriage on duty. After seeing Gervis, they immediately stood up and greeted Gervis with a military salute.
"Well, go get me some cups!"
Although it is safe inside the Rose Castle, there are many people and wine is a valuable item, so of course someone needs to be sent to guard it.
Gervis gave orders to two of his personal guards, then led everyone to a carriage with a wine jug and took out a jug of wine.
"Five of you, this wine is called Golden Wine. It is a specialty of my territory, Storm Territory. It was successfully brewed this year. However, the raw materials for brewing golden wine are limited, so only a few of you have seen this much."
Gervis pointed to the five carriages nearby and explained to the group.
At this moment, the guards had brought a tray with cups. After placing the tray on the stool, Gervis poured wine directly into the cups.
"Although all the golden wines are for sale, the quantity is limited. In order to allow more people to taste the delicious wine, I will limit the sale of wine this year, that is, each person can only buy 5 bottles."
Gervis has already thought it through. Since the price has been raised to 1 gold coin per pot, he can no longer sell it like cabbage. He can only increase the value of the product through hunger marketing, and at the same time let more people taste it. After all, Alice also said that this grape vine is only available in his Storm Territory. It is a unique business and he doesn't have to worry about someone stealing his business in the future.
"Everyone, come and taste this wine again!"
After saying this, Gervis signaled to everyone to pick up the wine on the tray and taste it. After all, it was their first time tasting it at noon, and they might have forgotten how it tasted. If he didn't let them have a taste, how would he get them to pay for the gold coins later?
In fact, several people had been coveting the wine on the tray for a long time, but due to dignity, they pretended to be indifferent. After hearing Gervis' words, they quickly picked up the wine glasses from the tray and started drinking.
After taking their sips of the wine, several people were immersed in the aftertaste, and from time to time they looked at the carriage in the field, and they all wanted to rush up and take a few barrels of wine home. In particular, there was one person among the five who had not drunk the wine distributed by Pat at noon. He just saw so many bidders with these notes, so he took a picture out of curiosity.
Who would have thought that they would actually have such an "adventure"? They drank the wine sip by sip, and in a short while, a glass of wine was finished by them. After drinking, they all looked at Gervis with sharp eyes, waiting for Gervis to speak.
"Other people are limited to buying 5 bottles of wine per person, but since you have won this note, it can be considered a fate with me. You can buy 10 bottles, and the note you won from the auction can also be used as payment."
Gervis originally wanted to let them exchange the notes directly with him for a pot of wine, but then he thought again, the prices were different when they bid for the notes, the lowest was only 90 silver coins, and the highest was 1 gold coin and 50 silver coins, so he asked them to use the notes to replace the gold coins they spent on the notes during the day, which would be fair to all five of them.
