Chapter 196 One Gold Coin One Pot
"Baron Gervis, I wonder how much this wine costs per jug!"
Hearing that the note could actually be used as payment, they all felt very favorable towards Gervis. Although they did not care too much about such a small amount of money, they recognized Gervis' way of doing things.
The first person to speak was the one who had not tasted the wine at noon. The others had already known about the existence of the wine at noon, and after an afternoon of waiting, they were no longer so anxious. A few minutes wouldn't matter anyway. However, the person who spoke had just tasted the wine, and was immediately amazed by the existence of the wine. He couldn't wait to buy it back and drink it to his heart's content.
"The price of this wine!"
To be honest, the price had increased tenfold from 10 silver coins to 1 gold coin, and Gervis still felt a little guilty, especially with Pat still present. But he remembered the conversation between Alice and him, and knew that the price he had set was indeed a bit low. So in the expectant eyes of the five people, Gervis slowly said, "1 gold coin per pot!"
"Cough! Cough!"
Pat didn't know that Gervis had raised the price temporarily, and he almost choked when he heard the price Gervis said.
But after coughing, Pat realized that everyone was looking at him, so he immediately explained awkwardly: "Sorry! I just found out the price of this wine, too. I was a little surprised that it was so cheap at 1 gold coin. I thought it would cost at least 4 or 5 gold coins per bottle!"
“After all, the taste is so good, even the best beer can’t compare to this wine!”
Fortunately, Pat was quick-witted, otherwise after destroying Gervis's place today, he probably wouldn't be able to taste wine again.
"Baron Pat is right! One gold coin is indeed a great deal!"
"Um!"
After hearing what Pat said, the five people all nodded in agreement.
"Baron Gervis, I want to buy 10 pots, here's my note!"
After several people agreed with Pat's words, they did not delay and immediately held up the notes to start buying wine!
"Baron Gervis, I want 10 pots too..."
A moment later, touching the heavy purse, Gervis asked his personal guards to deliver the wine to the five people out of Rose Castle. Their servants were waiting outside the castle, so the personal guards only needed to deliver it to the door for them.
"Gervis, I want to buy five pots too!"
After a few people left, Pat held up the cup and Gervis poured him another one. Pat took this opportunity to speak.
"Didn't I sell you two big jars last time? Do you want to buy more?"
"I didn't bring any wine, but I'll be staying in Winterfell for several days. So I bought some to satisfy my craving."
Pat felt a little embarrassed. The price that Gervis sold to others today was one gold coin per pot, but he had 10 pots in the two jars and each pot only cost 10 silver coins. So he was taking advantage of Gervis.
"I thought you had finished the two jars. With me in Winterfell, are you worried about not having wine to drink? Bring two jars up later, and don't ask me for money!"
Gervis was quite satisfied with the performance of fat boy Pat today. He already regarded him as his first friend in this world. So for the one or two bottles of wine, Gervis certainly would not ask him for money. After all, it was Pat who paid for the lunch at noon, and it cost a total of 7 gold coins, including 5 gold coins for five kilograms of monster meat, and 2 gold coins for three side dishes and the usage fee of the private room.
…
…
The next day, Gervis got up very early because it was late last night and he did not go to check the store he won from Kevin. Today he had to check it out anyway because Gervis was a little impatient.
The shop was worth thousands of gold coins. Gervis tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well all night. Before he set out for Winterfell this time, he had never thought that he could own a shop in the East District.
When Gervis came, he only had 30 gold coins in his pocket, which was all his belongings, so he originally planned to look around the South District to see if there were any remote shops selling goods. If there was a suitable one, he would consider buying it. If the money was not enough, Gervis planned to sell ice cubes or ice cream in the square again.
Even if it was still not enough, he was prepared to shamelessly borrow some from Pat temporarily and return it to Pat after the wine was sold out.
But man proposes, God disposes. God sent him a boy named Kevin who gave away money. Not only did he win a shop, but he also earned more than ten gold coins.
“Anna!”
Gervis was still a little confused when he got up from the bed. He called out his little maid's name without thinking.
"install……"
“It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!”
After waiting for a while and not hearing Anna's response, Gervis finally remembered that his personal maid had been taken away by Alice. He could only slowly begin to dress and wash himself, but in his heart he was complaining that he had become accustomed to the luxurious life of aristocratic masters.
"Pat, wake up!"
After getting dressed and washing up, Gervis came to Pat's door holding Terin's jade box and started knocking.
"Grevith, it's still early today!"
After a while, Pat walked out of the room, yawning and muttering to Gervis.
"Kevin's shop already belongs to me. I have to go check it out as soon as possible. This shop is worth thousands of gold coins. If it is rented out, it will be worth dozens of silver coins a day."
Gervis ignored Pat's complaints and dragged him directly to the restaurant downstairs. After a quick breakfast, Gervis ran to the place where the unicorns were stored and used Trin to take out his own unicorn.
…
"Grevith, why are you riding a unicorn? It's so inconvenient for your unicorn to go in the city. You might as well go on a horse like you did yesterday."
Seeing that Gervase was actually going to ride a unicorn to Winterfell today, Pat asked curiously.
"You don't understand. We are going to close the store today. If Kevin Trash refuses to do so, my two realms are lower than theirs. Although we are not afraid of them, we can't do anything to them. But bring the unicorn with you. Whoever dares to say no, I will let him enjoy the taste of the unicorn's horn."
Riding on the unicorn, Gervis did not hide the reason and explained it directly to Pat.
Although the World of Warcraft mount is majestic, it is very inconvenient for Gervis to not have his own brown elf worm. Even if he leaves the unicorn for a while, he will not feel at ease. After all, World of Warcraft is not a joke. Ordinary people will probably get a few holes on their bodies when facing a golden little fighter like the unicorn.
Today he was going to close the store, and if Kevin dared to play tricks, Gervis would not be polite to him.
Soon Gervis and Pat arrived at the East District. Standing in the square of the East District, Gervis opened the title deed.
"No. 6, Rose Square, Champagne Street, East District!"
"This is number 12, Gervis, and that store over there should be number 6."
The two stood in the square, looking at the house numbers of the surrounding shops. This square was where Thomas and others set up a stall to sell ice cream. The environment was beautiful and peaceful. Although it was morning, there were many pedestrians coming and going. However, compared to the square which covered an area of about two acres, it seemed a bit sparse.
When Pat heard the store address from Gervis, he immediately found where store No. 6 was with his sharp eyes.
Gervis looked in the direction Pat pointed. The place was at the corner of the avenue in front, which was also another entrance to the square.
