Chapter 595 Technology is the primary productive force! [Cooking noodles for the elders' time

There are thousands of ways to make money, but Lu Qi only needs one.

As long as there is a characteristic industry that can bring in large amounts of income in the long term, it will be enough for him to get out of the current financial crisis and become richer and richer.

Like the dwarven bank, the wine of Toussaint, the leather of Kaedwen, the mines of Kovir...

And in this medieval world where people worked at sunrise and rested at sundown, and there were very few entertainment activities, what industry was the most popular and profitable?

Of course it’s the entertainment industry!

Casinos, fighting arenas, brothels, and taverns are all great places where people can get drunk and be willing to put the coins in their hands into the boss's purse.

Among them, the industry Lu Qi plans to enter is not the traditional one, but the brewing industry!

In this wizarding world, there is no such thing as drunkenness or not.

Because, limited by the technology of the times, the alcohol content of the brewed wine was not high. Therefore, almost everyone I met was an alcoholic who drank wine as water.

From kings and nobles to common people and beggars, everyone likes this.

Of course, except for Regis, a vampire who had trouble with drinking in his early years and took fifty years to resurrect and give up alcohol...

Whether it is Beauclair's East of the East wine or the dwarf's Mahakam spirit, they are top-notch wines that are must-haves on banquet tables in various countries.

The maximum price for each bottle of Dongzhidong wine can reach ten kronor.

And Lu Qi learned from the owner of the Toussaint winery that the cost of each bottle of Dongzhidong wine was less than two crowns, and the profit was five times as much.

It can be seen from this that the brewing industry is simply a huge profit. It is more profitable than robbing Heshan Bank!

This is one of the reasons why he sought out the brewing industry.

Of course, he didn't do it on a whim, but had a plan.

As early as when he briefly stayed in Toussaint to serve as a witcher's assistant, he had observed the wine-making process up close.

After that, Lu Qi discovered that the reason why the wine produced by Toussaint tastes so good is entirely due to its pleasant climate and fertile volcanic ash soil, which is very suitable for the growth of grape vines and the quality of the grapes is very good.

And their brewing technology is simply not too lagging behind.

The Toussaint people who attach great importance to tradition have been using the winemaking process left by their ancestors without progress or change at all. That is to say, the grapes with excellent quality are picked, screened, poured into a mixing tank, manually pressed, and peeled.

, remove the residue, separate the grape juice, and ferment it in a container.

However, even modern winemaking is based on this relatively traditional method. However, later on, labor was reduced and replaced by machines.

However, Lu Qi thought of a kind of wine that was definitely not available in this backward world, and that was distilled wine!

Yes, all the drinks in this world are brewed wines with lower alcohol content.

As for distilled liquor with a higher alcohol content and a mellower taste, there is no such thing!

Lu Qi had tasted the dwarf's Mahakam liquor, but it was only a little stronger than ordinary beer and wine. It couldn't be called "strong liquor" at all.

Even if he doesn't know much about the brewing process, as a social successor who has received nine-year compulsory education, his chemistry score is still passing. Of course, he also knows that compared with brewing liquor, distilled liquor only has an additional distillation process in the manufacturing process.

.

The key piece of equipment is the distiller.

As long as there is a still, he can purify high-alcohol spirits that have never been seen on the market, and produce all kinds of modern distilled spirits, liquor, whiskey, and brandy!

Although he knew nothing about the structure of a still, Lu Qi knew who could make the still.

And that person is his friend...

...

On the border of Toussaint, in a forest in the Sansreto Valley.

Accompanied by strong magic fluctuations, a portal suddenly tore open and appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qi, wearing a black cloak and a long sword tied to his waist, slowly walked out.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Qi frowned and murmured: "It seems that there is a slight deviation in the teleportation coordinates. You have to pay attention next time..."

"It's better to find someone to ask for directions first..."

As he spoke, he walked toward the outskirts of the woods...

After using unskilled teleportation magic to reach the border of Toussaint directly, Lu Qi came to Beauclair without stopping and found Regis who was appreciating ancient elf paintings with a certain Earl of Toussaint.

That's right, Lu Qi's friend who can make a still is none other than Regis, a high-level vampire who has lived for hundreds of years and has given up drinking!

Speaking of which, he accidentally learned that Regis could make something like a still.

Regis has learned many things in his long life, including art, medicine, and alchemy, which are his specializations.

Among them, when he was chatting, he often mentioned his use of alchemical techniques to create various alchemical potions.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. This is how Lu Qi learned that this high-level vampire is also an outstanding alchemist.

Seeing Lu Qi suddenly appearing, Regis blinked his eyes and showed his usual gentlemanly smile:

"Oh Alex, nice to meet you, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find you. I need your help with something."

After Lu Qi explained his intention, Regis thought about it and readily agreed to his request.

After visiting Milva, whose belly was growing day by day, Lu Qi and Regis left the pleasant climate of Toussaint together...

With a "swish" sound, a dark portal suddenly appeared in the lord's courtyard in Amelia Castle.

Lu Qi and Regis walked out of the portal.

Looking at everything familiar around him, Lu Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, there's not much deviation this time..."

"I have to say, Alex, your magic talent is the most outstanding among all the humans I have ever seen." Looking at the black-haired man with interest, Regis's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Liang: "Even the teleportation magic that many warlocks struggle to master in their entire lives, you can learn it in just a few months. Such a learning speed is simply amazing."

Hearing this, Lu Qi shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be indifferent, and said in a very unflattering tone:

"Perhaps, this is the difference between genius and mortal..."

...

In the next few days, with the manufacturing drawings drawn by Regis himself and under his personal supervision, the first large-scale distiller device was completed in the heavily guarded brewery!

Soon, a large amount of fermented brewing raw materials were sent to the distillery, where distillation, purification, filtration and other processes began, and finally a bottle of Amelia spirit with extremely high alcohol content was produced.

When Jillian, the deputy leader of the Black Hawk Knights, drank a large glass of clear liquor in one gulp, his entire face suddenly turned red.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression suddenly full of excitement, "Sir, I have never drunk such a strong drink! It feels so damn good!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi's lips curled up, looking at the wine bottle filled with transparent liquid in his hand, he couldn't help but shout in his heart:
Chapter completed!
