Chapter 327 Wealth and Danger Always Go Together
After walking out of the training space, Gervis brought Alice and Anna to Cassie's grape space. Even for Anna, it was the first time for Cassie to enter this space after becoming an elf, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Gervis, why is the terrain in Cassi muddy and sandy?"
The moment Alice walked into the grape space and saw the scene inside, she immediately frowned.
Cassie's space environment is quite extreme. Even a woman like Alice who has no knowledge of farming can see that the soil and climate in this space are not suitable for growing valuable plants.
The looseness of sandy soil means that it is not easy to retain water and nutrients. Even if plants can grow on it, it will affect the harvest and growth.
Now, nearly ten acres of land in Cassi's space are all muddy and sandy. Alice doesn't know whether Gervis is lucky or unlucky.
"Haha, Alice, you don't know this! If there are no grape vines, this space environment is indeed bad, but if you want to plant grape vines, this kind of land is the best and most suitable."
Gervis chuckled. In this technologically backward world, the standard for high-quality land is land that is suitable for growing food crops, especially black soil.
Alice heard what Gervis said. Although she didn't understand the reason, she did see that the entire space was planted with grape vines. She could only change Gervis' bad luck. It seemed that Gervis was still very lucky.
"Come on, Alice, let's go to the center of the space and take a look. There are still a few strings of good things there. I specially stayed here to prepare some food!"
As he spoke, Gervis led Alice and Anna to the center of the grape space.
Soon, Gervis brought the two of them to the potion grapes. At this moment, there were not many fruits left on the potion grape vines. Gervis ordered most of the grapes to be picked and used to make golden wine.
Only less than ten bunches of grapes were left for Gervis to satisfy his own appetite. In fact, another purpose was that Gervis kept the seeds to see if they could be planted. After all, the grape seeds after making wine would definitely not germinate.
As for planting by cuttings, Gervis is already experimenting with it. One and a half acres of muddy land nearby are planted with cuttings from the potion grape vines.
Although these branches also have green leaves, Gervis is not sure whether the grafting cultivation will be successful until new buds grow out.
"Gervis, this is the grape? So big? No wonder it can be made into such delicious and magical golden wine. It tastes delicious just by looking at it!"
Alice had never seen grapes before, so when she saw the dozen or so bunches of grapes, each of them round, plump and crystal clear, she let out a rare exclamation of surprise.
"Hey! Alice, ordinary grapes are not this big. These are mutated magic grapes!"
Gervis didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His cheap wife used to be very knowledgeable. What she knew was enough to beat a country bumpkin like him. Now he finally saw that Alice also had blind spots in knowledge.
"Magic grapes? Gervis, could it be that when Cassie transformed..."
"Yes, it was mutated when Cassie became an elf, just like your magic potion wheat! Alice, come and try it!"
Seeing Alice's surprised expression, Gervis nodded proudly, then picked a large bunch of grapes himself, gave most of the bunch to Alice, and the other half to himself and Anna.
Gervis often eats these grapes these days, and Anna can often get some from Gervis.
This was Alice's first time eating it, so Gervis wasn't stingy.
Holding a bunch of grapes weighing several kilograms, Alice really wanted to ask: Gervis, have you been favored by the glory of knighthood for a long time?
But in the end, she never asked the question. But now, Gervis's luck and the label of having strange knowledge have been deeply imprinted in Alice's heart.
After Alice got the grapes, she saw Gervis looking at her expectantly, so she stopped being polite and raised her slender hand to pick a grape from the bunch, then gracefully put it to her mouth, opened and closed her pearly teeth, and took a light bite.
When the extremely sweet juice of the magic grape flowed between her teeth, Alice's beautiful eyes instantly shone.
This is so delicious!
To be honest, Alice, as the daughter of an earl, has only eaten a few fruits with this taste. There are so few edible magic plants in this world. If you have one, you can become rich and earn huge wealth.
Moreover, Gervis's magic grapes are not only sweet, but also contain rich spiritual energy. After Alice took the first bite, she was sure that these magic grapes must be a top-grade magic plant.
"How's it going, Alice? Not bad, right?"
Alice was truly extremely beautiful. Even the way she bit a grape with her pearly teeth and red lips just now almost made Gervis, the old driver, tremble in his heart.
In order to avoid being discovered by Alice, Gervis looked away and began to eat grapes. However, his eating manners were not elegant. He swallowed a plum-sized grape in just three or two bites, as if he were swallowing a date.
According to Alice's elegant way of eating, it would take her more than ten bites to finish one.
"Gevis, your wealth is about to roll in!"
Alice didn’t need to comment on whether it was delicious or not, as her eyes just now had already revealed it clearly.
However, she solemnly raised another topic with Gervis. Now that ordinary golden wine itself has become popular throughout the principality, Gervis's fortune is just around the corner.
Now Gervis even owns the top-quality magic grapes. The wine made from these magic grapes is definitely not inferior to rose powder. As long as Gervis can increase the production of magic grapes, in a few years, Gervis may have wealth comparable to that of the Jones family.
"But Gervis, you'd better control the sales volume of your magic wine in the short term! Because once the output of magic grapes reaches the level of rose powder, those who covet it will do whatever it takes!"
With such wealth, one must also have equal military power, otherwise even the Jones family would be coveted, let alone Gervis.
This is what Alice thought
"Alice, wealth and danger coexist, I know this! Don't worry, even if I want to brew a large amount of magic wine, I can't do it for the time being. You can see that I only have one acre of magic grape vines!"
"And the planting of grapevines is no different from other crops. It takes at least two or three years for new grapevines to grow and bear fruit!"
Gervis certainly saw through this.
However, even without the magic grapes, Gervis is working hard to improve his own strength and the strength of his territory, so even if Alice doesn't say it, Gervis will keep the sense of crisis in mind.
