Chapter 56 56. Cooperation
"Ms. Xiqi, please take a seat."
"Lord Lowe, may I ask you a question?"
"Please ask."
"Ms. Zoe, how old are you this year?"
"Zoe is three years older than me. She's twenty-three this year."
"I see." Xiqi nodded slightly, her expression seeming to be thinking.
"I didn't expect Zoe to be able to make it this far. Maybe it's more due to her hard work. Alcohol may just be a catalyst, a trigger." Lovey was a little unsure and worried that it was just a coincidence.
"Whether this matter has anything to do with wine or not, there is no doubt that Warrior's Blood Brandy has greater commercial value," Xiqi said firmly.
"I hope you can sell this wine. Now we only sell high-end products with higher purity. It's the kind that Zoe has drunk. The ex-factory price per barrel is five gold royals." Lovey slowly spread out his five fingers, staring at Xiqi without moving his eyes.
A barrel of wine weighs 50 kilograms, and the factory price will not exceed one silver coin.
After two distillations, the price increased by more than five hundred times. The huge profits are shocking.
Xiqi's face didn't show much emotion: "How much can you give out every day?"
"The output is very low now, only three barrels a day." In fact, the output can be six or seven barrels, and Lowe deliberately said a little less.
"Okay, I'll ask the manager to come and make the deposit." Xiqi said straightforwardly, "We still have some time to trade now, as the weather is not too cold. We need to see the market reaction first."
The deal was happily concluded, and Xiqi placed an order for 200 gold coins. She only made one request, that the wine barrels to be sold must be provided by the Donghui Chamber of Commerce.
Lowe agreed.
As a time traveler, he certainly knows the importance of product packaging.
After sending Xiqi away, Mosuofei came over, scratching his ears and said, "Master!"
"I asked you to choose a place. Have you chosen it?"
"I've chosen one. It's in an abandoned quarry near East Port City."
Luo Wei knew it was far away when he heard it, and he didn't want to waste time going there: "Lan Lan, bring my clay plate over here."
"Okay, young master." Lan Lan trotted out of the meeting room and brought a plate of yellow mud.
Luo Wei raised his hand, and the yellow mud slowly floated up, constantly changing shape in mid-air. A simple and primitive coke oven clay sculpture gradually solidified into shape.
The panda housekeeper understood: "Isn't this just an oven? An oven for baking brown bread and white bread."
"Yes, this is an oven." Lowe confirmed Mossophie's understanding and pointed out a few points: "The coking furnace must be airtight. No air can get in. And the temperature must be high. You need to use the best charcoal and the best fire. The temperature must reach the level of melting silver."
"How long does it take to refine?"
"I don't know about that. The first time you refine it, you should refine it for a little longer and try to bake out all the oil and water in the coal. After the coke is successfully refined, there will be highly toxic gases. When you open the furnace, it's best to wait until it cools down. And run a little further away to avoid any accidents."
Mossoffe said seriously, "I understand."
He picked up the clay plate and left carefully.
The housekeeper has been very busy recently. In order to prepare for the wine distiller, he has basically not managed the affairs of Fulin Castle.
But with the head maid Triss in charge, nothing can go wrong.
Lovey took Lanlan for a walk along the shore of Moon Lake.
The clear Moon Lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, which is really beautiful.
Many guards took advantage of their rest time to swim in the lake, and Lodel seemed to be among them.
Luo Wei pretended to be calm and admired the girls. They didn't know how to be shy. They were still playing in the water and laughing.
How interesting!
Realizing that Lodel looked very annoyed, Lovi quickly turned his head away.
The beautiful Moon Lake is like a crescent moon. This is the lord's back garden. The people are not allowed to fish or swim at will.
Of course, if passers-by are thirsty, they can drink some water. Lowe will never allow industrial pollution to destroy this place. The papermaking workshop must be located in another place. It is about an hour away from Moon Lake, and there is a river passing by.
More than a decade ago, it was just a small stream, and the people gave it a name, Xiaoqingxi.
Today, several streams have merged together to form the Xiaoqing River.
The river is about seven or eight meters wide, about three meters deep, and the water flows rapidly.
When Lowe came to the river, he realized that this was a very good place.
A small amount of industrial wastewater is directly discharged into the sea through the river, and he will not feel any psychological pressure.
The rushing river water would also provide sufficient power for the waterwheel mill.
Yes, this should be it.
Lo Wei squatted by the river, thinking for a while, and looked towards the other side of the river.
There are few people there. The people usually don't cross the river. Maybe we should build a wooden bridge. In this way, a day passed easily.
I clearly didn't do anything. I spent more time on the road and more time waiting.
Everything is so slow that it's hard not to feel a little discouraged.
It's a new day again.
Early in the morning, after everyone had done their duties, the idle lord came to the underground grain warehouse again.
Lan Lan looked at Luo Wei curiously as he opened the barrel: "Master, are you ready to eat beans?"
Luo Wei said to himself in annoyance: "Oops, I forgot."
"What have you forgotten?" Lanlan looked puzzled.
"I forgot to soak the beans last night, otherwise I could have made soy milk today. Let's wait until tomorrow." Luo Wei put the beans into a clean wooden basin and asked Lan Lan to fill it with water.
"Master, is the soy milk delicious?" Lan Lan looked greedy and wagged her tail in a flattering manner.
"Soy milk is more nutritious than milk." I saw this in a popular science article before. I don't know whether it is true or not. Lowe himself is wondering about it.
"I've never drunk milk." Lan Lan lowered her tail in frustration.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink today." Lovey promised generously and took the initiative to find the purchasing servant to explain his request.
There are no professional dairy cows in the territory, only buffaloes and ordinary cows. The milking period is uncertain, and milk is only produced when the calf is being fed.
Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, and the fact that raw milk is unprocessed, its shelf life is very short.
Therefore, even the lord may not be able to drink milk every day.
Lanlan was very lucky, as a farmer's cow produced milk today, so the servant bought some.
Luo Wei asked Lan Lan to boil the milk. Lan Lan didn't know why, but she did it anyway.
The hot milk didn't taste very good. Perhaps because it was not processed properly, it had a strong fishy smell.
Lovi took a few sips and put down the cup. "How does it taste?"
"I miss it so much. It smells like my mom's." Lanlan wagged her tail with an innocent expression.
"Next time, remember to cook it over low heat for a little longer."
