Chapter 723: Middlemen make the difference?

"Very good, Black Tower, when will you be able to forge it?" Narant didn't talk much. Since Black Tower can forge, it is most suitable for him to give the main body to him.

"Narant, are you in a hurry?"

"It's really urgent!" Narant nodded.

It was only two days before the brewing competition, so he naturally felt more at ease the sooner he needed to get the distilled spirit out.

"Narant, how big do you need this kettle?" Heta confirmed.

"A height of about one meter will do!" Narant made a gesture.

Now it's just an experiment, so this still doesn't need to be too big, but it will attract attention.

"Is it such a big kettle? It will take at least two days!" Heita was quite surprised.

A one-meter-high kettle, is this used to boil bath water?

The fastest speed is also estimated at the moment.

But when he saw Narant frowning, he paused and added: "However, if I call for another helper, I should be able to forge it at noon tomorrow!"

"Very good, then it's settled!" After hearing the latter sentence, Narant was finally satisfied.

"By the way, Black Tower, do you mind if I use potion wine to pay for it, two pots of potion wine!"

"Two pots of potion wine?" Heita's eyes widened immediately. Since it is a kettle for boiling water, it must be made of ordinary iron, not even mithril.

But a pot of potion wine is worth almost a hundred gold coins, this Narant is simply a free gift!

"Of course you can!" Surprise turned to surprise, but Hei's reaction was not slow, and his head fell like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Very good, Heita, then I'll go first and come back tomorrow at noon!" Narant was also very satisfied.

The price of this sacred continent, if he spends dozens of gold coins to forge an iron pot, it will definitely feel a pain in the flesh.

But if it was exchanged for potion wine, it would be less distressing.

"Don't worry, Narant, I'll start forging for you right away, and I promise to finish the forging before noon tomorrow!" With the temptation of the potion and grapes, the black tower is full of motivation.

After Narant left the Black Tower Smithy, he directly left the Forge Castle.

Immediately, he found two blacksmith shops outside the Forge Castle, and handed over the blueprints to the dwarf blacksmith.

One of the drawings is a conduit installed on the kettle, but it was later used to dredge the steam.

As for the other drawing, it can fit the still stove.

These things are not difficult to craft, and Narant is not worried that the dwarves will not be able to forge them.

After the same payment for each three jugs of wine was finalized, Narant took Natasha to wander the streets.

"Narant, where are we going now?" Follow Narant on the street.

Seeing that Narant wasn't looking left and right, as if she was looking for something, Natasha finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

Narant had already handed the last blueprint to the dwarves, so there should be nothing else to do now.

"Natasha, I'm going to buy wine!" Narant replied while looking at the tavern by the road.

"Buy wine? Narant, do you want to drink? Then we should go back!" Natasha was taken aback.

Not to mention that Narant only liked wine in the past.

But even if they like other fine wines, they should go back, because they are now heading outside the dwarf gathering place.

And the further you go out, the more dilapidated the surrounding houses become, which means that even if there is a tavern, it is of the lowest grade.

"Natasha, it's not that I want to drink, but to participate in the competition." At that moment, Narant told the reason why he bought the wine.

Staying in the Nafili Tavern all morning, Narant realized that he had little hope of winning the championship with wine alone, and also realized that even if he really won, the supply side might be very difficult.

Now that he has come up with a way to distill wine, Narant is thinking about whether he can find a cheap wine and purify it directly.

In this way, he can directly sit in the middleman to earn the difference, which not only saves trouble, but also earns both ends.

To choose the right wine, you must do two things.

One is that the price of wine must be absolutely low, otherwise he will not be able to earn much.

Secondly, those who provide this wine must also have a good supply capacity, otherwise it will be troublesome if they cannot satisfy their own purchases in the future.

Fortunately, the merchants who can come to this fortress to open a shop, even if they are downcast, have a background of aristocrats or principalities behind them.

So, he just needs to find the cheapest wine.

"So it is!" After Natasha heard it, she naturally understood Narant's thoughts immediately.

At the moment, he quietly accompanied Narant to continue searching.

Soon, the two came to 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 fortress castle.

And the taverns opened around them, needless to say, make money from poor ghosts, where can they go high-end.

"Narant, there's a tavern here!" Natasha soon saw a slightly shabby tavern.

Even though the outer walls are covered with green moss, and the signboard looks old, it can be regarded as a roadside stall compared to the tavern in the middle section and the gate of the Furnace Castle.

"Come on, let's go in and see!" Narant didn't hesitate after seeing it, and went straight into the tavern with his feet raised.

After entering the tavern, the interior environment was slightly dim due to the lack of candles.

There are not too many drinkers in the tavern, and there are more than a dozen dwarves who are obviously shabby and drinking.

There were no beautiful female servants wandering around like those in the Felix Tavern, there were only two male servants standing at the counter listlessly.

"Several guests, welcome to the Emerald Tavern, what do you need to drink?"

The two male attendants were obviously stunned when they saw Narant and Natasha, the nobles in extraordinary clothes, entering the tavern under the **** of several barbarians.

Immediately, after the reflection came, he opened his mouth to say hello.

"Well, what kind of wine do you have in these taverns?"

"Dignified guests, we have Jade Spirits, Jade Beer, and Jade Fruit Wine in our tavern. I don't know which one do you want?"

"A glass of everything!" Obviously, this tavern is low-end enough that it doesn't even have flaming wine and flaming wine.

Because many taverns, even if they are not the caravans of the Bach Empire or the Blue Shield Empire, will try to buy some flaming wine and flaming wine for sale.

Because that's how you can attract guests.

And this tavern doesn't have it, which can only mean that there are not many customers who will drink smoldering wine.

Although it was a little strange that Narant asked for a glass of everything, the attendant quickly put the three kinds of wine in front of Narant.

"Well, I have never used a wooden cup for good wine!" Narant commented, then raised the cup in front of him and began to taste the wine in it.

Soon, all three wines were tasted by Narant.

As for the taste, naturally needless to say, it is really not bad in general.

Not to mention the so-called Jade Beer and Jade Fruit Wine. Anyway, they have a sour taste, which is more difficult to swallow than the beer from the Glory Continent.

And this emerald spirit is not as strong as wine. Nalan really doesn't know where they got the confidence to call it spirits.

The only thing that has some merit is that the color of this wine is light and transparent, but it is somewhat similar to the liquor in the previous life. Although there are impurities in it, Narant has a little intimacy at first glance.

"How much is a pot of this emerald spirit?"

"Guest, this emerald spirit is three gold coins in a pot!"

"Oh? It's almost the same!" When Narant heard the price, he knew that the taste of the wine was worthy of the price.

"Who is in charge here?" Narant asked immediately.

"Guest, do you have any business?" The two attendants were obviously a little stunned when they heard Narant's question, and they didn't know what the guest wanted to do.

"It's okay, I just want to ask your stewards for some information, if possible, I want to make a big deal with you!" Narant said calmly.

Hearing the words, the two attendants looked at Narant who was clearly wearing high-end clothes, and was accompanied by a stunning woman like Natasha, so naturally they did not dare to look down on him.

Soon, the steward of the tavern was called out.

"Your Excellency, I am the steward of the Emerald Tavern. I wonder if you have anything to discuss with me?"

The steward of this Emerald Tavern is a middle-aged man, wearing a silk dress, obviously also a nobleman.

"Well, it's like this, have you seen my subordinates, they also like spirits like dwarves, and they like it every day!"

"I have tens of thousands of such subordinates, so I think maybe I can make a big deal with you!"

"However, before that, I would like to confirm the source and supply capacity of your emerald spirits."

"Uh, Your Excellency, I don't know what you call it. Do you want to buy Jade Spirits in bulk?" The steward looked at the big stone and the others behind Narant, but he did not doubt Narant's words.

The roughness of these barbarians is not inferior to the dwarves.

"Just call me Narant, I do have this idea, but whether you want to buy it still needs to be considered!"

"Okay, Your Excellency Narant, our Emerald Tavern is a tavern run by the royal family of the Blue Emerald Duchy, and the Emerald Spirit is also a specialty of our Blue Emerald Duchy. As for the supply capacity..."

"Your Excellency, even if you need tens of thousands of pots every day, there is no problem!" The tavern steward vowed.

"Blue Emerald Principality? It seems a little familiar." Narant felt that he had heard the name of this principality somewhere.

However, he didn't care much now, and when he heard that the countermeasures did have the ability to supply, he was determined.

"The supply can be satisfied, so I don't know how much the price can be reduced if I buy a large amount at one time?" Narant knows that no matter how cheap all wines are in the Holy Alliance, they can rise after coming to this melting pot. several times.

"Your Excellency, the supply price of our flame wine in the alliance is one gold coin per pot."

"However, if you need more quantity, then we can reduce it a little more. As for how much to reduce, we need to wait until Your Excellency has determined the quantity before we can further discuss!" This manager is naturally not stupid, and he will definitely not say the reserve price in a few words.

"A gold coin!" Narant's eyes lit up.

Although the steward didn't say the reserve price, Narant still recognized the emerald spirits.

Because it is lower than the purchase price of a gold coin, there is obviously a lot of profit space for him to make money. Now the only thing that needs to be determined is whether the distillation can be successful and whether the competition can be won.

"Your Excellency, if that's the case, then I'll buy a few barrels and go back. After confirming that my subordinates like this wine, I'll discuss the purchase next time!"

"Okay, Your Excellency!" Although the steward had a hard time believing that someone would come to buy a large amount of Jade Spirits, he was looking forward to seeing Narant's demeanor as if he was teasing them.

Soon the squire brought five barrels of Emerald Spirit to Narant.

And the price was specially reduced, selling it to Narant at the price of two gold coins per pot.

After paying off the gold coins, Narant returned to the store directly with the wine.

After that, he did not go out again, but waited in the store to bring it to noon the next day.

At noon the next day, Heita and the others completed the task given by Narant on time.

The potion wine and ordinary wine that took Narant as a reward all watched Narant leave with a wide-eyed smile.

After Narant returned, he immediately assembled the first distiller in this different world in the courtyard.

In order to keep it secret, Narant even asked his subordinates to find a huge tarpaulin to cover the surrounding area to ensure that outsiders could not see the existence of the still.

"Narant, can this iron furnace really turn ordinary wine into spirits?"

Natasha had also tasted the emerald spirits before, mainly because she heard Narant say that these ordinary spirits will soon become the most delicious spirits in the world. Natasha couldn't believe it.

"Of course, Natasha, just wait and see!" Narant nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that the still was assembled, Narant's confidence burst.

Although it may be a bit exaggerated to say that the world is the strongest, but among cheap wines, it should be able to achieve the strongest existence.

"Raymond, fire!"

Immediately, Narant did not delay, and directly issued an order to Raymond and others.

"Yes, my lord!" Immediately, Raymond took the torch and threw away the iron stove he had just forged.

Above the stove is a still that was taken back from the Black Tower. This still is now full of liquor.

The hole at the top is connected to a copper pipe. The copper pipe is more than four meters long and extends to the side. Below the copper pipe is a large wooden barrel.

As the fire increased, steam soon began to emerge from the copper tube.

In fact, the principle of distillation is very simple, then the boiling points of alcohol and water are not the same.

How much is the difference, Narant doesn't remember, but he knows that the boiling point of alcohol is twenty or thirty degrees lower than that of water.

In this way, when the bonfire boils the wine in the still pot, the alcohol rises first and becomes steam. As for water, it still cannot be converted into steam because it takes a hundred degrees to reach the boiling point.

And these boiling alcohol are discharged down the copper pipe.

During the discharge process, because the copper tubes are very long and extremely thermally conductive, the vapors return to cool again.

After cooling, the alcohol returned to the shape of water droplets and then dripped into the wooden barrel under the opening of the copper pipe.

And these liquids are the spirits after distillation and purification.

This is how the distilled spirits of the previous life came from.

Of course, the distiller of Narant is very simple, and the temperature cannot be controlled as easily as in the previous life, so he can only try his best to maintain it.

For example, when he saw the first steam, he knew that the alcohol in the wine had reached the boiling point, and immediately asked Raymond and the others to reduce the fire.

Prepare to use such a stupid method to increase the degree of distilled spirits.
