My Empire War Game

Chapter 82 Rum

"Master, the rum you mentioned has been brewed. Would you like to try it?" Chris walked over with a bottle of wine and said.

The last time Jean came back from Carthage City, he bought a group of slaves, including a few slaves who could make wine, and some waste honey left from sugar extraction in the territory. Due to technical reasons, these waste honey containing a lot of sugar could not be used. Then extract the sugar.

It would be wasteful to throw it away directly, so Suren was like using these waste honey to make rum. The rum in the previous life was born because of waste honey. At that time, South America planted sugarcane on a large scale. .

Those plantation owners invented the use of waste honey to make rum, just because of technology problems at that time, the fresh water carried by long-term sea drifting was easy to deteriorate. The most important thing is that rum can treat septicemia. Therefore, many ships carry a large amount of alcohol, which can be stored for a long time and deteriorate, and it can also prevent sailors from getting septicemia.

As a result, rum spread around the world with the great voyage, and brewing waste honey into rum has also become another source of income for these planters.

Waste honey is still very good for brewing wine, and you can get a lot of wine without consuming food, which is good news for Su Lun, who is short of food. There were very few ways of entertainment in this era. Even in Karen City in the south, the entertainment among nobles was banquets other than hunting.

There are also very few performances such as bards or circuses, and even less entertainment for the commoners, the most common being a drink in a tavern. There are quite a few barbarians here in Su Lun. All of them are strong and strong men. They are full of energy every day. In order to let them vent their excess energy, Su Lun specially built a school field for them to compete.

The same is true for preparing alcohol now, and there is another reason. The trade in the territory has already begun. As time goes on, more and more caravans will arrive, and they will definitely bring a large number of mercenaries and caravan escorts. These people will definitely It is necessary to find entertainment venues.

There are no seafood merchants in Su Lun's territory, nor are there any ladies and sisters who sell Bao. The construction of spiritual civilization has a long way to go. Therefore, they can only come to the tavern. People like mercenaries and guards are not cheap, and the money is cheap. As long as the tavern is established, it will definitely become an important income-generating project for the camp.

There is no reason not to do this kind of thing that solves waste honey, increases entertainment, and can make money.

After taking the rum, Su Lun first smelled it, there was a faint aroma of wine, poured out the liquor, the liquor of the rum showed an amber color, and Su Li took a sip, and the taste was not bad. The taste is refreshing, the smell is fragrant, and it is much stronger than the ales he has drunk before.

The ale that Su Lun bought before was low-priced, and it was a bit sour to drink. Those merchants added a lot of water to it. This ale is also the most popular in the tavern. Who makes it cheap enough? Two copper nar, you can drink a cup.

It can be said that that ale is actually water with a little alcohol, which is far worse than these rums.

"This wine tastes pretty good." Putting down the glass, Su Lun said in a good mood.

"This rum is the best tasting rum they have ever made." Chris took the glass that Sullen had not finished drinking and said.

"What's the cost?" Su Lun asked. If the cost of this wine is too high, he can only sell it as a high-end wine, and then continue to brew low-cost wine.

"According to your instructions, the rum is brewed with waste honey, which is diluted with a large amount of water, and then brewed by adding yeast to ferment. The cost of a 100-liter barrel of rum is twenty About gold nars." Chris said like a familiar face.

Suren made a quick calculation, and this price still has no price advantage compared to ale.

"Master, these rums can be diluted with water, the one you drink is undiluted." Chris explained with a smile, "This wine can be diluted twice, and the taste will be much lighter in comparison, but Much better than ale."

"Then double the dilution, and you can calculate the price." Su Lun agreed directly. Adding water to the wine is a normal operation in this era. Of course, high-end wine will not do this.

"This rum is made into low-end wine and high-end wine. The high-end wine is renamed with a better name, and the taste is adjusted. We will sell the two wines together." Su Lun said.

"Okay, I'll tell them to do it now." Chris nodded.

"By the way, add 30 points to each of the slaves who make the wine, and give him 50 points for the one who brews this wine." Su Lun ordered.

"Let them get the drinks ready as soon as possible."

Chris nodded and left with the rum.

Next, the brewing slaves quickly prepared two kinds of wine according to Su Lun's request. The high-grade rum liquor is clearer, close to transparent state, smells with a strange fruity aroma, tastes refreshing and sweet, and tastes good. Sweet, fragrant and very rich.

The low-end rum tastes much worse, but it tastes refreshing, the color is translucent reddish-brown, from the appearance to the taste, it is still much better than the ale, and the cost is also controlled to ten silver nars. A barrel, this price is close to the price of ale.

High-end rum is expensive. After blending, a barrel of this rum costs 20 gold nars. Suren plans to build a glass factory in the territory and then bottle it for sale. Not a single bottle is sold, but two kinnars. A bucket can hold at least two hundred bottles.

Su Lun also gave this wine a name, Cold Dew Wine, and by the way made up a story to give this wine a boost. This has been a common marketing method in the previous life, but it is definitely the first time to use it in this world.

As long as the story is touching enough, and the wine tastes good, the wine will soon be able to open up sales. Of course, if Su Lun had enough connections to allow the king to use this drink at court banquets, the effect would be even better, but if he had connections, would he go to this place where birds don't shit to open up wasteland?

After the drinks were made, Su Lun immediately began to build a tavern in the town. The location of the tavern had already been selected, and construction could start immediately. The progress of the tavern is very fast. It only took two days to complete the construction of a tavern that can accommodate seventy or eighty people.
