Chapter 179: The Stillness of the Night (Subscribe!)



Chapter 179 It was late at night (Please subscribe!) As

the sky darkened, the Idar Territory was gradually shrouded in the dark night sky, but at this time the lord's castle was brightly lit.

"It may be a little tight, please be gentle..."

Isabel widened her eyes and looked at Bruno nervously.

"I'll try my best..." Bruno's voice was a little anxious: "But... the arrow is on the string and has to be shot! I want to pull it out..."

"Ha! I pulled it out..."

Bruno showed a happy expression, holding a building block that had just been pulled out in his hand.

Before he finished speaking,

I saw the building block "building" standing on the desk gradually tilted to one side, and then...

With a clang, the stacked blocks suddenly fell onto the desk.

Jenga, also known as Stacking, is a puzzle game that Bruno had played in his previous life.

The gameplay is very simple. Place three rectangular wooden blocks of the same size and shape as a layer, and then stack them to form a tower. Take turns rolling the dice to decide which color or layer of wooden blocks to draw, and place the drawn wooden blocks on the top floor of the tower until the tower collapses due to loss of balance.

Looking at the building blocks scattered in front of him, Bruno couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why did he play this with Isabel when he had nothing to do? He had already lost two games in a row!!! Since there were too few entertainment activities in this world, Bruno had the carpenters use the best wood to polish such a stacking game early in the morning, so that he could relieve his boredom when he was bored.

Mainly because...

Although Bruno had figured out how to play poker, his luck was terrible and he lost every time, so the personal servants in the castle were very cautious every time they played the cards, or even dared not to play any cards at all.

"Are you coming again?" Isabel, who had won two games in a row, asked excitedly.

"No, no, these things are just a waste of time. We have important things to do!" Bruno said seriously.

"Tsk, you can't afford to play?" Isabel asked back, "You have to explain ten math problems to me every time you lose. This is what we agreed on beforehand. You can't go back on your word!"

Bruno pretended not to hear Isabel's words and shouted loudly to the door: "Liszt! Why hasn't the wine arrived yet?!!!"

"We are here, Count. We were delayed on the way..."

Liszt pushed open the door and waved behind him: "Hurry up! Don't dawdle, the Earl is waiting here!"

Only two servants walked into the room one after another, each of them holding a rectangular wooden box in their hands.

"Be careful with your movements, don't knock the Earl's treasure!" Liszt reminded.

After Liszt led the servants away, Isabel walked over curiously and looked at the wooden box on the table.

"This is……"

"This is the first batch of products from Moore Wine Industry. I asked them to bring it to you for a look. If there is no problem, they will appear in the shops in the Kingdom of Basel next month." Bruno said.

These two wooden boxes on the table are definitely not the usual shoddy products made by carpenters. Every piece of wood has been polished to be extremely smooth, and even different patterns are engraved on the surface of the wooden boxes.

"Not everyone likes strong liquor, so these boxes contain low-alcohol wines produced by Moore Wine Company. You can open them and take a look..." Bruno introduced.

Different from the usual way of unpacking, after some investigation, Isabel suddenly saw that there was an extremely delicate switch on the side of the wooden box.

The wooden box can only be opened after the bolt is removed.

Isabel reached out and opened the wooden box, and then... she saw a piece of cardboard produced by the Idar Paper Mill.

On that piece of paper, there was a detailed record of the origin of the grapes used, the date of production, and even the name of the worker who produced the bottle of wine! In addition, there was also an introduction to the bottle of wine and the benefits of drinking wine in moderation...

After opening the card, a bottle of beautifully packaged low-alcohol wine finally appeared in front of Isabel.

The glass bottle containing the wine looks crystal clear, and there is still a layer of thin paper on the bottle of wine, but the content written on it is much simpler.

The name "Moore Wines" was printed on it in cursive, which looked particularly beautiful.

Add to that the confetti and feathers scattered around the bottle to enhance its class and avoid collisions, and the bottle of wine suddenly looks different.

Perhaps from the perspective of the future, these scraps of paper are quite cheap, but in this world, these light yellow scraps of paper are unique to Idar Territory! "This..." For a moment, looking at this bottle of wine full of style, Isabel was speechless.

"That's right! This is the wine produced by Conte before. Doesn't it taste much better than before at first glance?" Bruno asked proudly.

"The taste probably hasn't changed much, but the price has definitely more than doubled..." Isabel felt as if she had realized something.

"Yes! The Moore River Valley has always been an important producer of high-quality grapes in the Norman Empire, but over the years, the price it sells for has been no different from other ordinary wines!" Bruno concluded, "So in my opinion, the wine produced in the Moore River Valley must have a price gap with other wines!"

"At the same time, what we sell is not just wine, but also the dignity of being a noble!"

"Noble dignity?" Isabel murmured thoughtfully.

Bruno nodded.

In this world, what nobles value most is their dignity as nobles.

Because, in this age of extreme scarcity of spiritual entertainment, this is one of the very few things that can give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

So... Bruno firmly believes that a wine that can make aristocrats feel very classy in an instant is the real wine and the true love of aristocrats!

"If you think that's all, you're totally wrong!" Bruno said proudly, "The pictures on this wooden box are sixteen kinds of magical beasts that exist in legends! Once a customer can collect all the wooden boxes with sixteen pictures, he will have the priority to buy whiskey!"

"Right of first refusal?" Isabel felt that she was a little confused.

"You know, Moore Winery currently operates and produces two products, namely low-alcohol wine and brandy, while Idar produces vodka and whiskey."

"Unlike the huge production of wine, this strong liquor called whiskey needs to be aged before it can be sold. Therefore, the production is much less than other wines... Scarcity makes things valuable!" Bruno emphasized.

"So... selling through the right of first refusal can not only stimulate the sales of wine, but also double the selling price of whiskey!" Isabel took over the conversation and said softly.

"Smart! That's what I mean!"

Bruno nodded and couldn't help but give Isabel a thumbs up.
