It has been several days since the Shadow Empire's envoys arrived in the imperial capital. What agreement Queen Catherine and Queen Shia can reach and whether the two countries will go to war have become the focus of heated discussion. However, even if the public pays more attention to these national events, they will not
They can only pay attention, but cannot participate, and the decision-making power lies entirely with the upper levels. Compared with national events, a new thing that happened in the imperial capital recently attracted the attention of many people.
Demons are firstly aggressive and secondly addicted to alcohol. Alcohol has become an indispensable necessity of life, suitable for men, women, old and young. Especially in this context where there is no large-scale war and sufficient food, which territory is it?
, the pub is always one of the busiest places for business.
There are two types of wine in the Demon Realm. One is rice wine, which is brewed from a rice-like crop called "drunk rice." Due to the crude production process, the rice wine has a harsh taste and an ordinary taste, making it a low-end wine. The other is fruit wine.
, then mixed with various spices after fermentation, the taste is comfortable, and many types are derived, which are mid-to-high-end wines. Among them, the purple berry wine of the Shadow Empire and the black grape wine of the Fallen Angel Empire are the most popular.
In the past few days, several places in the city have been crowded with people all day long. The reason is very simple. From time to time, a strange aroma of wine floats from this place. This aroma of wine is extremely strong, and just smelling it makes people feel drunk.
"What kind of wine is this?"
“It smells so good!”
"Not black grape wine! Not purple berry wine either!"
"This is not fruit wine or rice wine. I have never smelled such a fragrant wine!"
"..."
These places are the branches of Gongzhufang scattered in various locations in the imperial capital. Originally, these branches were in danger due to the crowding out of nearby stores. For similar products, other stores would rather lose money to sell them cheaper, so the business was extremely bleak.
However, these strange wine aromas attracted a large number of customers, and of course, most of them came for the wine.
The aroma of the wine wafts from a small wine glass in a magic circle. Obviously, this magic circle has the effect of spreading and amplifying. However, it still aroused strong interest among customers. They all wanted to try it and asked the clerk about this wine.
price.
Gongzhufang's answer is that this kind of wine is called strong-flavor rice wine. It is the latest top-quality wine developed by Gongzhufang. The quantity is limited and it is not sold to the outside world for the time being. The day after tomorrow, the Princess Villa in the southern suburbs, which is the original Youyue Pavilion, will
It will be open to the public, and you can purchase this limited supply of fine wine during your meal with your VIP card from Princess Square.
The higher the VIP level, the greater the discount you will get and the more wine you can buy. For example, a white crystal VIP can order one bottle of rice wine; a purple crystal VIP can order two bottles and enjoy a 50% discount
; Order three bottles of Black Crystal VIP and get a 10% discount... If you don’t have a VIP card, the price will not be more expensive, but each person can only order a small cup.
It turned out to be a newly researched top-notch wine! Everyone felt itchy and unbearable. Their eyes fell on the alluring citrus wine in the small wine glass. If it hadn't been for the powerful defense of the magic circle, I'm afraid someone would have rushed up and drank it all in one gulp.
.
In the name of celebrating the opening of Princess Villa the day after tomorrow, Princess Place takes advantage of the opportunity to launch a rare discount event. You only need to purchase two, three, or four package items to receive white crystal, amethyst, and black crystal respectively.
A kind of VIP card; if the accumulated consumption in any princess shop in the demon world reaches a certain level, you can also get a special blood crystal VIP card; as for the highest level gold crystal card, it is generally only given to some of the most distinguished guests, which is a symbol of status
.
Originally, the products of Gongzhufang were famous for their high quality and outstanding reputation. They followed the brand route and rarely discounted. Now they finally launched discounts and added the excitement of fine wine. For a time, whether it is the Imperial Capital main store or several branches
,Business
Suddenly the popularity increased dozens of times. All kinds of goods were in short supply, and even many backlogged goods were sold out. People in the imperial capital were rushing to tell them that the Princess Villa in the southern suburbs would open the day after tomorrow, and there would be a kind of strong-flavor rice wine.
The finest wine is released.
"As expected of a cunning human financial officer. With a few tricks, Princess Fang and Princess Villa have become the focus of the imperial capital." Isabella said with emotion as she watched the flow of people coming and going from the Princess Fang from a distance.
"Thank you, beautiful Miss Dark Demon." Chen Rui said with a smile, "It's just a small trick. In front of an expert in conspiracy like Miss, you can't deserve the praise of 'cunning'."
Isabella's charming eyes flickered: "This kind of wine did not appear in the Dark Moon. When did you start brewing it? How come I never knew about it."
Chen Rui chuckled: "There are still many things you don't know. It seems that we need to understand each other more deeply."
Rice wine is something he has been preparing for a long time ago. Chen Rui's grandfather in his previous life was from Shaoxing and made homemade rice wine every year. With his ears and eyes, he was naturally familiar with these processes. When developing Dark Moon, he
I want to make a batch of rice wine, but the wine technology in the devil world is different from that in Chen Rui's world, and there is no "jiu koji" necessary for rice wine brewing.
The raw materials of distiller's yeast are wheat and beans, and it is enough to cultivate mycelium at a certain temperature. However, these processes seem easy, but they are not so simple to do. Chen Rui wrote down the remembered process and gave it to Xilang
Tim of Shanvaran Fortress.
Tim was very attentive to this and asked his wife Liao Sha to take charge of this matter. This was a mistake. The Medusa family showed unexpected talent in brewing and soon cultivated koji. After repeated experiments,
, successfully used diluted spring of life and high-quality drunken rice grown on improved soil to create a rice wine that was more fragrant and higher than Chen Rui's imagination, and was named "strong-flavor rice wine" by Chen Rui Wine.
After the rice wine is brewed, it must be stored in a cool, dry place for a period of time to make the wine more fragrant and delicate. Just when the first batch of rice wine was produced and stored, Obsidian launched a war against Dark Moon.
The entire Dark Moon was in a state of emergency preparations. Chen Rui also went to Bai Ling's territory and had no time to take care of the wine.
Later, Obsidian was defeated and died, and Shia took control of the empire. Chen Rui also remembered this incident. Originally, he wanted to seal the wine for a while before taking it out, but the situation in the imperial capital was not good for Shia, and he needed to open the situation as soon as possible.
, so he asked Tim to transport the wine to Dark Moon and get it through Rainbow Valley.
What surprised Chen Rui was that the rice wine, which had not been stored for long enough, tasted surprisingly mellow, even better than the older wines in his previous life. After asking, he found out that the place where Liao Sha chose to store the wine was the land of the earth elemental people.
domain. very
It may be due to the wonderful effect of the purest earth elemental power. Medusa brews it, using the spring of life as raw material, plus the power of the earth elemental king's earth domain. Judging from the maker and materials, it is already unique.
The best stuff.
Isabella's moving eyes curled up: "If Your Royal Highness is not afraid of Her Majesty the Queen being jealous, you might as well come to the small house in the northern suburbs the night after tomorrow to meet a certain insidious and cunning woman."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. Ever since the last time he saw through his desire to die, Isabella had been avoiding him, but now she was finally willing to face it. She said happily: "The brave knight will definitely defeat the terrible enemy."
Evil dragon, rescue the beautiful princess."
"Victory? Is it bribery?" Isabella smiled like a flower. "Don't worry, the money-grubbing Xiaolong is now with a real princess, and no one would want a poor girl like me."
Chen Rui looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I want it."
A thin layer of mist rose in Isabella's green eyes, and she immediately avoided his gaze: "By the way, why haven't you seen Laura in the past few days? She gave me something last time, and it was a little small.
Question, I want her to take a look at it."
If it's a magic prop or something, Chen Rui can also solve this problem, but he doesn't want to push Isabella too hard, and said: "She has been experimenting with a few lanterns in Rainbow Valley for the past two days. She will return to the palace tonight.
Come on, just go find her then."
"I will go. Is your new thing still being debugged? You can focus on that now. Leave the Princess Villa to me. The deadline for negotiation is in three days. We don't have much time."
The rice wine strategy was planned before the arrival of Catherine's envoy. It was originally a long-term economic strategy, but a letter from Catherine disrupted this plan, especially the seven-day limit, which made time become
It became extremely urgent. Originally, this strategy would not be able to play its due role in the short term. But Isabella said that she had a way, but she could not tell it in advance. Shia did not ask further questions and gave Isabella the answer on this key matter.
The maximum authority to kill first and then play later.
Since the decisive battle in Lacey Town, Chen Rui has felt that the relationship between Shia and Isabella seems a bit subtle, or there is a vague tacit understanding. For the Crystal Palace, the more harmonious the better, he will not
He was stupid enough to ask in front of the two women.
"Okay." Chen Rui nodded. Due to the arrival of the Shadow Empire messenger, a new thing needs to be released in advance, so he has been very busy these days.
Chen Rui's marketing strategy was quite successful. Not only was Princess Fang's business unprecedentedly popular, but the new wine also received free publicity. News that the best wine was about to be released at Princess Villa in the southern suburbs spread like wildfire, attracting the attention of many businesses, especially
Plimpton, the famous liquor magnate in the imperial capital. Plimpton is an important member of the Mishan family and the president of the Yese Chamber of Commerce. The Yese Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce jointly established by the Mishan family, the Bol family, the Leif family and other veteran families, and has an almost monopoly.
The black grape wine that has inspired the entire empire. The emergence of new wine now is a huge impact on both the Mishan family, which made its fortune in the wine industry, and the entire Yese Chamber of Commerce.
In the long run, once the new wine and Princess Villa form a climate, a certain fixed pattern of the imperial capital will be broken, which will also be quite unfavorable for the senatorial family's control of certain aspects of the imperial capital. One will wax and wane, and Queen Shia will naturally become
The biggest beneficiary. Currently, Shia's attention is focused on dealing with the negotiations with the Shadow Empire, just in time to prepare for a rainy day and nip the threat in the bud.
To this end, the Yese Chamber of Commerce held an emergency internal meeting and unanimously agreed to use a series of measures to resolutely curb the sales of this new wine, including various insidious tricks.
However, before these machinations could be carried out, the night before the opening of Princess Villa, the Mishan family's wine cellar in the eastern suburbs suddenly caught fire and a big explosion occurred. Tens of thousands of jars of good wine were burned to the ground. This bad news almost made Plimpton almost
Passed out.
