Chapter 723: The middleman makes the difference?(1/2)

"Very good, Black Tower, when will you be able to forge it?" Nalant didn't waste any time. Since Black Tower knows how to forge, it would be best to leave the main body to him.
“Narant, are you in a hurry?”
"It's really urgent!" Nalant nodded.
There were only two days left before the brewing competition, so he naturally needed to get the distilled wine as soon as possible, so he would feel more at ease.
"Nalant, how big do you need this kettle to be?" Heita confirmed.
"A height of about one meter will do!" Nalant gestured.
It's just an experiment now, so the distiller doesn't need to be too big, otherwise it will attract attention.
"Is it such a big kettle? It will take at least two days!" Heita was quite surprised.
A one-meter-tall kettle, is it used to boil bath water?
The fastest speed is also estimated at the moment.
But when he saw Nalant frowning, he paused and added: "However, if I call another helper, I should be able to forge it at noon tomorrow!"
"Very good, then it's settled!" Narant was finally satisfied after hearing these last words.
"By the way, Black Tower, do you mind if I pay with potion wine, two jugs of potion wine!"
"Two pots of potion wine?" Black Tower's eyes widened immediately. Since it was a kettle for boiling water, it must be made of ordinary iron, and there was no need to add mithril.
But a pot of potion wine is worth almost a hundred gold coins, so Narant is giving it away for free!
"Of course!" He was surprised, but Heita's reaction was not slow, and his head immediately responded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Very good, Black Tower, I'll leave now and come back tomorrow at noon!" Nalant was also very satisfied.
With the price of goods in this holy continent, if he was asked to spend dozens of gold coins to forge a large iron pot, it would definitely feel painful.
But if you exchange it for potion wine, you won't feel so distressed.
"Don't worry, Nalant, I will start forging it for you right away, and I guarantee that it will be completed before noon tomorrow!" With the temptation of the magic potion wine, the Black Tower is full of motivation.
After Nalant left the Black Tower Blacksmith Shop, he left the Forge Castle directly.
Then he found two blacksmith shops outside the Forge Castle and handed the blueprints to the dwarf blacksmiths respectively.
One of the drawings shows a brass conduit installed on the kettle, which was later used to divert steam.
As for the other drawing, it can accommodate the still stove.
These things are not difficult to craft, and Nalant is not worried that the dwarves will not be able to forge them.
After settling the matter with three jugs of wine for each item, Nalant took Natasha for a stroll on the street.
"Narant, where are we going now?" Follow Narant walking on the street.
Seeing Nalant looking around from time to time, as if looking for something, Natasha finally couldn't help but ask.
Nalant had already given the last drawing to the dwarf before, so there should be nothing else to do now.
"Natasha, I'm going to buy some wine!" Nalant replied while looking at the tavern on the roadside.
"Buy a drink? Narant, you want to drink? Then we should go back!" Natasha was stunned.
Not to mention that in the past, Narant only liked drinking wine.
But even if they like other kinds of wine, they should go back, because their current direction is towards the outside of the dwarf gathering place.
The further out you go, the more shabby the surrounding houses become. In other words, even if there is a tavern, it is of the lowest quality.
"Natasha, it's not that I want to drink, but to participate in the competition." At that moment, Nalant told the reason why he bought the wine.
After staying at the Philly Tavern for the whole morning, Narant not only understood that there was little hope of winning with wine alone, but also realized that even if he did win, the supply pressure would probably be very great.
Now that he had figured out how to distill wine, Narant wondered if he could find a cheap wine and then purify it directly.
In this way, he can go directly to the middleman to earn the price difference, which not only saves trouble, but also makes money on both sides.
If you want to choose the right wine, you must do two things.
One is that the price of wine must be low, otherwise he will not make much money.
Secondly, the supplier of this wine must also have good supply capabilities, otherwise it will be troublesome if it cannot satisfy its own purchases in the future.
Fortunately, no matter how down-and-out the merchants who can come to open a store in the Forge of the Furnace are, they have a background from a great noble or a principality.
Therefore, he only needs to find the cheapest wine.
"So that's it!" After hearing this, Natasha naturally understood Nalant's idea immediately.
At that moment, he quietly accompanied Nalant to continue searching.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the edge of the gathering place.
Dwarves are also rich and poor, and their status is high and low.
Therefore, the dwarves living on the edge can be regarded as the poorest existence in the Furnace Castle.
As for the taverns opened around them, it goes without saying that making money from poor people will lead to high-end hotels.
"Narant, there is a tavern here!" Natasha soon saw a slightly shabby tavern.
Even though the outer wall is covered with green moss and the signboard looks old, compared to the tavern in the middle section and at the entrance of the Forge Castle, it can be regarded as a roadside stall.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look!" Nalant didn't hesitate after seeing it, and walked directly towards the tavern.
After entering the tavern, the interior environment was slightly dark because there were not many candles.
There were not too many drinkers in the tavern. There were more than a dozen dwarves in obviously shabby clothes who were drinking heavily.
There were no beautiful female waiters around like those in Philly's Tavern. There were only two male waiters standing at the counter, looking listless.
"Guests, welcome to the Emerald Tavern. What do you want to drink?"
When they saw Nalant and Natasha, nobles in extraordinary clothes, entering the tavern escorted by several barbarians, the two male attendants were obviously stunned.
"Well, what kind of wine do you have in this pub?"
"Dear guests, our tavern has emerald spirits, emerald beer, and emerald fruit wine. Which one do you want?"
"Have a glass of everything!" Obviously, this tavern is low-end enough that it doesn't even have fire wine or fire wine.
Because many taverns, even if they are not caravans from the Bach Empire or the Blue Shield Empire, will still find ways to purchase some fire wine and fire wine for sale.
Because this is how you can attract customers.
But this tavern doesn't have it, which only means that not many customers here usually drink fire wine.
Although he was a little surprised by Narant's request for a glass of wine, the waiter quickly poured the three kinds of wine and placed them in front of Narant.
"Well, good wine has never been made out of wooden cups!" Nalant commented, then he raised the wooden cup in front of him and began to taste the wine in the cup.
Soon, Nalant tasted all three types of wine one by one.
As for the taste, needless to say, it's really not that bad.
Let’s not talk about the so-called Jade Beer and Jade Cider. Anyway, they just have a rancid taste and are even more difficult to swallow than the beer in Glory Continent.
And this emerald spirit is not as strong as wine. Narant really doesn't know where they got the confidence to call it a spirit.
The only redeeming feature is that the color of this wine is light and transparent, somewhat similar to the white wine from the previous life.
Although there were still impurities in it, Nalant felt a little familiar with it at first glance.
"How much does this jade spirit cost per jug?"
"Guest, this jade spirit is worth three gold coins per pot!"
"Oh? This is pretty much the same!" When Nalant heard the price, he knew that the taste of the wine was worthy of the price.
"Who is in charge here?"
"Guest, what's the matter with you?" The two attendants were obviously in a daze when they heard Nalant's question, not knowing what the guest wanted to do.
"It's okay, I just want to ask your manager about some information. If possible, I would like to make a big deal with you!" Nalant said calmly.
When the two attendants heard this, they looked at Nalant's obviously high-end silk dress and the stunning woman like Natasha beside him. Naturally, they did not dare to look down on him.
Soon, the steward of the tavern was called out.
"Sir, I am the steward of the Emerald Tavern. I wonder if you have anything to discuss with me?"
To be continued...
