Chapter 246 Wine

"Chief Fell, do you trust me?" Roger patted his chest and said to himself, "If you trust me, I can sell the weapons and tools you make in my own territory. 【】The price of the sale is up to me The decision will definitely not let my dwarf friend suffer!"

"This method is not bad." The dwarf has already regarded Roger as a true friend, and Fair immediately nodded and said: "Then I will let the clansmen start working this time when I go back, and make some good things as soon as possible for you to sell! "

"It's a deal!" Roger would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately settled the matter with the dwarf chief.To be honest, he really didn't intend to make much money from the deal with the dwarves, but paid more attention to the benefits it brought to the territory.

It specializes in selling various items made by dwarves, and there are few similar shops even in big cities.If there is such a store in Kent Town, it will definitely attract more businessmen.This is what Roger really wants. The more merchants there are, the more prosperous Kent Town will be. Not only will there be more opportunities to make money, but Roger will also be able to collect more taxes.

Whether it is Roger or the dwarf, both parties are very satisfied with this negotiation.Fair drank a few more glasses, and finally remembered that the other tribesmen in the tribe were still waiting for him to go back and tell them the result of the negotiation, so he bid farewell to Roger and went back.

The dwarves had just left, and both Phil and Chris gave Roger a thumbs up.Dwarves are notoriously difficult to deal with. Before the negotiation, the two knights even made preparations for a battle with the Hammer tribe.But as soon as Roger came out, he not only got the dwarves to provide stones for the territory, but also successfully persuaded them to sell the weapons they made in the town. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

In fact, Roger himself is very satisfied with today's harvest. This trip to the Red Mountains can be said to serve multiple purposes, which is more encouraging than the best situation imagined.

After the dwarf left, Roger praised the two knights well and told them to make arrangements to accept the stones brought by the dwarf before returning to Kent Town.Roger himself didn't stay in the quarry for long, he left the Red Mountains and rushed back to Kent Town that day.But on the way back to Kent Town, he made an unexpected discovery.

Just less than twenty miles away from the town of Kent, Roger found a large area of ​​very lush plants.It is not easy to find such a large area of ​​green in this relatively barren land. The curious Roger couldn't help urging the horses to get closer.

This made Roger very happy. He was very familiar with the appearance of these plants, and they were exactly a field of wild grapes that grew very luxuriantly!

"Grapes!" Unexpectedly, there is such a familiar plant in the world of Torenzo, Roger couldn't help but muttered to himself: "It's perfect to make wine with this, not only the taste will not be bad, but more importantly The most important thing is that there is no need to waste food, hehe, it’s not bad to come to my brother’s territory!”

Roger has been in the world of Torenzo for a long time, but he has never seen wine made from grapes.It seems that there is no such thing as "wine" in this world, which also gives Roger a good space to play.

With such a major discovery, Roger could no longer be calm.He quickened his pace and rushed back to Kent Town, and asked Eddie to look for townspeople who knew about the field of wild grapes.

Eddie has fully adapted to being a butler, and quickly completed what Roger ordered.Several townspeople were very honored to be consulted by the lord. They stood cautiously in front of Roger, honestly not even daring to raise their heads.

"Do you know the big field of wild grapes in the north of the town?" Roger asked with great interest, "Who knows how to grow this plant?"

"My lord, the wild grapes have been growing for many years, and I never need to bother to plant them." A townsman replied cautiously: "They can grow very well on their own, and they will bear fruit twice a year, sour and sweet. The sweet taste is very good. However, the fruits of wild grapes are not easy to preserve, and there is no way to transport them to other cities for sale. They can only be used as a solution for children, and most of the fruits eventually rot by themselves.”

"It's a waste, it's a waste of such a good thing!" Hearing this, Roger couldn't help sighing secretly that the townspeople were reckless and didn't know how to use such a good resource, and then he quickly asked: "According to your estimates , How much land near the town of Kent is suitable for the growth of wild grapes?"

"The area should not be small." A townsman replied affirmatively: "This kind of plant does not have high requirements on the soil, and the land near the town is the most suitable for them to grow. A few years ago, wild grapes almost grew near the town. Everyone got a little land back by setting fire to the vines. It didn't take long for the wild grapes to spread again, and I was going to set fire to them all in a few years."

"Eddie, you are responsible for telling all the townspeople that wild grapes are not allowed to be burned by fire in the future. Not only are they not allowed to be burned, but I also want to encourage everyone to plant this plant." Roger quickly made a decision: "From now on, the north of Kent Town All the Lord's land belongs to me, all of which are planted with wild grapes, and I want to turn this land into my vineyard."

Although Eddie didn't understand Roger's intention of doing this, he didn't want to ask more questions when there were other people present. He just bowed respectfully and said, "My lord, I will issue your order right away."

"You guys, since you know a little about wild grapes, you can become supervisors in my vineyard." Roger turned to the townspeople and said, "As long as I can take care of my estate, your help is indispensable." benefit."

The name of the benevolent lord Roger has spread throughout the town of Kent. These people feel very honored to be appreciated by him, and they all express that they will definitely do their best for the lord's vineyard.

Roger had to encourage everyone a few words, and then according to his own memory, he described to them the appearance of the vineyard on the earth and asked them to follow suit.After several townspeople left, Roger decided to ask two alchemists to refine some potions to help plants grow, so that the harvest period of wild grapes could be greatly advanced, and his plan of making wine could be realized earlier.

The benefits of being powerful soon became apparent. Under Roger's order, many townspeople devoted themselves to the construction of vineyards.It didn't take long for the manor to take shape, the wild grapes had been transplanted, and many grape trellises were set up, but none of the houses in the manor were built for the time being.But Roger is more concerned about when the grapes will bear fruit. As for the house and the like, it will not be too late to rebuild it slowly.

When the vineyard was just being built, Roger often went to take care of it, instructing the townspeople on how to build grape trellises.However, as the time for the first auction in Kent Town got closer, Roger had more and more things to care about, and he soon had no time to care about his new estate.
