Chapter 761 Spendthrift?(1/2)
"What, don't pay a penny, give it all away?" Even a duke butler like Blow couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Nalant's words.
The main reason is that this wine is now too popular in the capital of Knock.
The wine originally purchased from the Storm Territory only cost three gold coins per pot, and the initial price after arriving at the Royal Capital of Nok was almost six gold coins per pot.
This price is not cheap among ordinary fine wines, but it is just the initial price.
As the delicious taste of wine was accepted by the nobles, and the Marquis of Naum brought back less and less ordinary wine, the price began to skyrocket.
First, it increased from six gold coins per pot to ten gold coins per pot, then to fifteen gold coins per pot, and then to twenty gold coins per pot.
Even so, these twenty gold coins for a bottle of wine are still priceless.
Of course, if you are more willing to give up, you can also go to Nok No. 1 Restaurant, where a bottle of wine costs fifty gold coins.
Don’t be too expensive, it’s the only way to taste wine in a short time.
Otherwise, we can only continue to wait until the next batch of caravans go to Storm Territory and purchase goods and return.
If nothing else happens, this time will be one or two months.
And as a noble, who can wait so long just to save a few gold coins?
After all, if you go out to a banquet and everyone talks about how delicious the wine is, but you haven’t tasted it by then, you will probably be compared to others in your reputation immediately.
In this way, these twenty gold coins per pot are absolutely stable and real during this period and are not inflated.
There are ninety barrels of ordinary wine that Nalant brought this time.
One barrel is equivalent to twenty jugs of wine, which is one thousand eight hundred jugs.
One thousand eight hundred pots is equivalent to thirty-six thousand gold coins.
In addition, there are ten barrels of potion wine.
Although the potion wine was all collected by the royal family and did not spread to the hands of the nobles, there was no official price.
But according to other types of wine, potion wine generally sells for ten times the price of ordinary wine.
Therefore, according to this conversion, a pot of potion wine can be sold for at least 200 gold coins.
Those two hundred pots of potion wine are almost equivalent to 20,000 gold coins.
Of course, this is still a conservative estimate, because the potion wine is collected by the royal family and is rarely owned by even the nobles, so the price is estimated to be higher.
In this way, Nalant's gift would be fifty to sixty thousand gold coins.
Even those big nobles probably don't have such a big deal, let alone the country bumpkins from the Glory Continent in the eyes of nobles like the Holy Continent.
"Sir Nalant, are you sure?"
"Butler Blow, I am sure that although the current production of wine is not too much, I have long heard of Duke Miller's reputation, so I will take this opportunity to give the wine to Duke Miller for his birthday party.
!" Nalant nodded affirmatively.
At this time, Butler Blow was also deep in thought. Looking at Nalant's smiling face, he must have known that Nalant's words about hearing the duke's reputation were all lies.
"Sir Nalant, regarding wine, the Duke's birthday party is indeed very scarce this time. However, I dare not accept such an expensive gift for no reason!"
"Why don't you, Sir Nalant, tell me clearly why you came all the way to the Nok Empire?"
"Lord Blow, since you asked this, I will tell you straight away. In fact, I came to the capital of Nok this time because of a troublesome matter!" Seeing this Butler Blow pointed out, Nalan
I don't even hide it.
"I wonder if Butler Blow has heard about the Frank family and the Dolly family?"
"The Dolly family?" The Frank family, Butler Blow seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But when it came to the Dolly family, he instantly thought of the Dolly family's movements during this period, which seemed to be suppressing a family from the Glory Continent.
"Your Excellency Nalant, is it possible that the small family that was recently attacked by the Dolly family has any connection with you?"
"That's right, Butler Blow, that small family is the Frank family, and the Frank family was a noble of the same principality as me when we were in Glory Continent, and my lover is a descendant of the Frank family, so I came to Novo this time.
I came to King Ke Capital just for this matter." Nalant nodded with a smile.
"My lover..." Steward Burrow was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nalant with a strange look, "Your Excellency Nalant is really young and promising!"
"Ahem, Butler Blow, I do have a lot of love for this emotional matter, but I value relationships very much, and it's really hard to let go..." Nalant was slightly embarrassed, and thought to himself again if this would happen in China.
It would have been fine in ancient China. Three wives and four concubines were all above board.
Butler Blow smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Naturally, he would not care too much about Nalant's private life, so he brought the topic back to business.
"Baron Nalant, do you know the strength of the Dolly family in the Nok Empire!"
"Steward Bloor, I have heard something about it. It is said that the Dolly family is one of the most powerful families among the great nobles in the Nok Empire, except for the royal family and Duke Miller!"
"It seems that Baron Nalant has inquired about it. The Dolly family is indeed one of the few powerful families in the Nok Empire."
"Yes, so, Butler Blow, if we want to resolve the Frank family's crisis this time, I'm afraid we can only ask the Duke to lend a helping hand."
"Your Excellency Nalant, there are really not many people in the Nok Empire who can make the Dolly family give in. Apart from the royal family, there is only my Duke!"
"It's just that this matter is too important for me to make the decision. Therefore, I need to ask the Duke for instructions before I can give you an answer!" Butler Blow was quite straightforward.
"Of course, then there is Butler Laublo!" Nalant had known for a long time that such a matter might not be answered immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a pause, he continued: "Of course, no matter whether this thing succeeds or not, my admiration for Duke Miller is true, so this batch of wine is still
A free gift to the Duke!"
After hearing these words, Butler Blow's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Nalant, and he actually looked a little surprised.
He had just learned that Nalant was showing courtesy for nothing, so he must be asking for something.
But now, he hasn't agreed yet, but he still presents the wine as a gift.
Isn't he afraid that after accepting the wine, he won't be able to agree to help?
This is fifty to sixty thousand gold coins...
This shows that the courage of this little baron is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary little nobles!
"Okay, Lord Narant, I will convey your good intentions to the Duke. In addition, why don't Baron Narant come to attend the Duke's banquet tomorrow! The Duke is busy with things, and I think I need to give you a reply."
Two days!" Bulow no longer delayed and accepted the wine directly.
The birthday party was held with wine this time, but it was ordered by the Duke.
Although there is no requirement for the quantity of wine, the more the better.
"Then I'll trouble Butler Blow!"
Next, Nalant got another banquet invitation from Butler Bulow.
Moreover, when Butler Blow handed the banquet invitation to him, he also specifically mentioned the areas that the banquet invitation could enter at that time.
When a dignified Duke holds a birthday party, there must be a lot of people.
And no matter how spacious the hall is, it cannot accommodate thousands of people attending the banquet at the same time.
Therefore, the birthday party tomorrow night will be divided into indoor and outdoor.
Those who can enter the room are naturally high-ranking nobles with status.
Those with a slightly lower status can only participate in the square outside the house.
Although you can see Duke Miller at that time, Miller will definitely stay indoors most of the time to accompany the big nobles.
After accepting the invitation, Nalant did not stay in the manor any longer and returned directly to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Nalant immediately sent Big Stone to deliver the wine to Duke Miller's manor.
In addition, Natasha was informed about the invitation.
Natasha naturally beamed when she heard this, and then asked Narant how he got the invitation to the banquet.
Nalant did not tell Natasha about his trip to Duke Miller's manor. After all, it was still unclear whether it would succeed or not.
In this way, he still told Natasha that he had entrusted the representative of Umna nobles.
Naturally, Natasha had no doubts. She thanked Nalant and immediately informed his father, Bauer, about the incident so that Bauer wouldn't be anxious.
…
Time passed and came to the second day.
