Chapter 215 Want to put a hat on me?
Caroline was very confident that promoting delicious food was a piece of cake for the Solem family, because their restaurant had a year-round supply of Warcraft meat, just like the Snow Manor in Winterfell.
Although most of the monster meat sold is snow rabbit, for monster meat that is scarce in this world, the slight lack of taste does not prevent wealthy nobles from enjoying it.
"Miss Caroline, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request. I won't grant the sales rights to anyone else. Anyone who wants to buy golden wine needs to come to Jones to trade. As for whether you resell it or drink it yourself, I don't care."
Gervis is not stupid, and of course he will not hand over the distribution rights of a certain place to others. Moreover, he has promised Alice that he will only trade in Jones Territory. Although she is just his cheap wife, Gervis is a man of credit. Since he has promised, he will not go back on his word.
Moreover, 89 bottles of golden wine were sold this afternoon. What Gervis is worried about now is not the sales of the wine, but the supply. It would be embarrassing if the wine is sold out too early and there is no wine for sale.
"Also, the current production of golden wine is limited, so if Miss Caroline really wants to buy golden wine, I can only supply you 50 jugs per month, which is two barrels."
50 bottles per month is the limit that Gervis can give to these big customers. After all, his current wine reserves are only about 2,200 bottles. Even if there may be some out-of-season grapes in the territory, it will definitely not be many. Autumn is coming, and it will be impossible to find wild grapes at that time.
Caroline was originally full of confidence, but after hearing what Gervis said, her smile froze. She frowned and said, "Only 50 pots? Gervis, isn't that too little?"
Caroline only mentioned the sales rights of the royal capital, but she didn't expect that the quantity of wine was so small. 50 bottles were really not enough for Caroline.
"It's not a small amount. 50 pots are only for big customers like you. If you are an ordinary individual purchasing, each person is limited to 5 pots. Miss Caroline should know this, right? Of course, this is only temporary. When the production is expanded in the future, Miss Caroline can have as many as she wants!"
"Okay then! 50 pots is 50 pots! I'll have someone go to your store to buy them tomorrow. I hope you can tell the manager of your store in advance."
Caroline was helpless after confirming that Gervis was not joking. However, she knew that the golden wine was limited in quantity. She originally thought it was just a gimmick, but now she thinks that the production of golden wine is indeed not much.
"Don't worry, Miss Caroline. I will tell the steward about this when I get back!"
As he spoke, Gervis raised the glass in his hand and motioned for Caroline to drink. Gervis was ready to leave after finishing his drink. After all, it would not be good to leave Ike and Pat there alone. Today, he was the host.
"Baron Gervis, please wait, I have another matter I want to discuss with you!"
Caroline saw that Gervis was in a hurry to leave, so she did not raise her glass to clink with Gervis, but continued to speak.
"Please speak!"
"I heard that there is a dispute between Baron Gervis's territory and the territory of Earl Kewan's second son in the buffer zone. I can solve this matter for Baron Gervis!"
As she said this, Caroline observed Gervis carefully, wanting to see how Gervis would react, but to her disappointment, Gervis just frowned slightly and then returned to normal.
"How do you ensure that this matter can be resolved, and what do you want to achieve?"
The reason why Gervis frowned was that after hearing what Caroline said, he was sure that there must be some powerful force behind Caroline, and it was not relying on the Lord of the North. After all, if the Lord of the North could solve this matter, then Alice could do it as well.
Now, Gervis only wanted to test Caroline's background and what she was trying to do. After all, a woman like Caroline would definitely not do a business that would lose money.
"Grevith, don't worry about how to solve this problem. We will handle both the problem of Viscount Lanny and the problem in the capital. As for the request..."
Caroline paused, raised her wine and took a sip, then continued: "We all know that you and Alice are only a couple in name only, so I hope you won't interfere when Kevin is pursuing Alice."
"Whether Kevin succeeds or not, I will solve the problems in the buffer zone for you, and if Kevin succeeds, I can also promise you a viscount title..."
"hehe!"
"This woman is so stupid that she actually wants to put a hat on me!"
Although Gervis was not going to agree to any conditions Caroline proposed, after all, only he and Lanny knew about the mithril in the camp, and the two would not give up under external pressure no matter what, so the good conditions Caroline thought were were actually a joke.
But Gervais was still amused by Caroline's request. They were actually still planning to target Alice. He just didn't want to pretend. If Alice really had someone she loved, he would divorce her tactfully. However, Kevin Garbage obviously pursued Alice with a purpose, and Gervais didn't want them to succeed.
"No way!"
Gervis uttered two words, then stood up from his chair and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a good figure came towards this side in the distance, led by a maid, but because Gervis had his back to that direction, he did not notice her.
Instead, Caroline happened to see the woman and immediately stood up, shouting, "Gervis!"
Gervis was puzzled and wondered if Caroline was sick. She suddenly called him so loudly, and her tone was not angry, but instead had a hint of something else. However, before Gervis could finish this thought, he felt Caroline's body was already pressed against him.
"Cough! Cough!"
Because it was summer, both of them were wearing thin clothes. Gervis was still feeling the warmth in his arms when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. In an instant, Gervis knew that Caroline had tricked him.
"This woman is really willing to do this!"
This was Gervis' only thought at the moment.
"Ah! Alice, why are you here just now?"
Caroline was very talented in acting. After making sure that Alice had seen what had just happened, she immediately separated from Gervis, and then spoke to Alice with a blushing face and a little surprise, like a frightened rabbit.
"Something happened, I'm a little late!"
Alice's tone was very calm, and she still looked like a cold goddess, as if she hadn't seen what had just happened.
"Alice, are you coming to the party? Then go back early. I have friends waiting for me in the private room. I'll leave first!"
Gervis was neither surprised nor worried about Alice's expression. Not to mention that he was being plotted against by Caroline, even if it was true, Alice didn't love him anyway.
And from the incident with Anna's maid, Gervis knew that Alice was not the kind of unreasonable, moody woman. A transaction was a transaction and she would not restrict her freedom, so Caroline would definitely lose money this time.
"good!"
After getting Alice's answer, Gervis smiled and glanced at Anna behind Alice, then returned to the private room.
Thanks to "only66854" for the reward!!!
