The Earl and Mrs. Marie have left Coral Island and headed for Blue Dragon Island.
Mrs. Penelope sent her blessings, but she did not come to Tulip Castle.
So without the restraint of the lord and the old lady, the atmosphere of the Tulip Castle luncheon was quite lively, especially the young nobles, who were busy socializing and connecting with each other, enjoying themselves.
It is inevitable that Liszt will also be involved.
Many aristocrats knew that the earl didn't pay much attention to this third son, who was relatively useless in talent, but no matter what, Liszt's blood was undeniably noble—the earl on the paternal line and the marquis on the matrilineal line. Out of three generations, belonging to direct blood relatives.
"Liszt, I haven't seen you for a long time. Now that the road to Thorn Ridge has been opened, why don't you come to my Niwa Town as a guest?"
"Brooke, I will spare time to visit Niwa Town. It only takes two hours from Huahua Town to Niwa Town. And you can also come to Huahua Town as a guest. I will treat you with the best seafood."
"I will definitely go, I love seafood, especially oysters."
"Of course, everyone loves oysters."
"Ha ha."
After a sumptuous lunch and dinner, there is dessert.
Liszt saw ice cream. Compared with the ice cream that can only be made in four flavors in the small town, the ice cream in Tulip Fort has eight flavors.
Ice cream hasn't spread the word yet.
So this time, the dessert surprised many nobles, but not many people inquired about the ice cream recipe. Ice is really not something that the little nobles can afford. Only the sons of the two viscounts asked Liszt to purchase the formula. The two of them could afford ice.
Liszt is also welcome.
To Brandon Crushed Stone, the son of the Viscount of Crushed Stone City, he gave the transaction price: "Three hundred catties of pig iron, the recipe is yours." This price is twice as expensive as that given to his sister Li Weila. Don't expect to get his preferential price.
Brandon gritted his teeth: "Deal!"
Then Liszt offered the price to Aubrey Humulus, the son of the Viscount of Beer Island: "One hundred and fifty barrels of beer with hops."
The rich and powerful heir of the Humulus family didn't hesitate at all: "No problem, I will ask the fleet to bring fifty more barrels of beer when I go back, and you let your caravan wait for the transaction in Coral City."
"readily."
Liszt was very happy, a flashy formula successfully changed a lot of things.
But the next moment, he almost changed his face.
Because Aubrey suddenly said: "By the way, Liszt, I'm going to catch seafood on the beach around Beer Island and sell it to the outside world. What do you think?"
There is still a smile on his face.
Already wishing to kill Aubrey, Liszt just asked lightly: "Seafood? Why is the Humulus family interested in seafood? The hops have already brought enough wealth to the Humulus family, right?"
"No one thinks that you earn less gold coins, don't you?" Aubrey is very fat, with a bulging belly, as if she was pregnant in October, and she knows that snacks are delicious since she was a child. "Seafood is a good thing, especially oysters. , full of fun, the seafood business in Huahua Town makes me jealous."
At present, only Huahua Town in Coral Island catches a large amount of seafood and sells it to the outside world.
The profit is huge, and it can bring in an income of nearly one gold coin every day. Just a few days ago, Liszt bought three more carriages, plus the previous six, a total of nine carriages, selling seafood non-stop.
Now it has been divided into three caravans. Old Grandet led one to travel between Coral City and Tulip Fort; Abagong led one to open up in the direction of Birch City; Sherlock led one to open up to Serpent Spear City. With the current sales momentum, two or three gold coins a day in the future will not be a problem.
He was ready to dominate the coral island seafood market, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway.
Aubrey actually wants to get in the seafood business.
If it was a small nobleman like an ordinary baron who wanted to get involved in the seafood business, Liszt would not mind complaining to the earl, so that he could understand that the noblest blood on Coral Island was something you couldn't afford. But the Humulus family is different. The Viscount of Beer Island is one of the earl's earliest followers, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, so it is difficult to overwhelm others.
If he was the heir to the earl, the Humulus family would not dare to reach out. The key point is that he is only the Baron of Huahua Town.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
In Liszt's mind, he thought about a variety of ways to deal with it, but on the surface he was still as calm as the wind: "Really, it seems that the seafood market on Coral Island will be much more lively in the future."
Aubrey laughed: "Liszt, I'm sorry to misunderstand you. I don't intend to sell seafood on Coral Island. This is your business. For the sake of our friendship, I don't want to destroy it."
These words made Liszt a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
They had no friendship at all, and Aubrey, estimated to be in his mid-twenties, was Levi's best friend. Surprisingly, Aubrey did not intend to intervene in the seafood market on Coral Island.
"Seafood is not sold on Coral Island, so, what do you mean?"
"Our family has several good channels to sell to the outer islands. You were the first to discover the seafood market, and the coral island is naturally yours. I don't want to compete maliciously with my friends." Aubrey spoke in a very frank tone. If Liszt hadn't had some experience, he would have been so moved.
No wonder the Humulus family can monopolize the hops business, know the current affairs, know how to advance and retreat, and it is hard not to succeed.
He picked up the red wine glass and raised it to signal: "For our friendship, cheers."
"Of course, a toast to friendship."
…
The seafood business was a false alarm.
But Liszt would not feel that the seafood market has been stable since then, and Aubrey's gesture of goodwill today made him understand that money is touching people's hearts.
If it is said that seafood was just a rare thing at the beginning, the nobles should try something new.
Now I am afraid that the profits of the seafood business have been inquired clearly by the nobles, at least one gold coin a day, and there may be more in the future. Think about it, if you earn one gold coin a day, you will get more than three hundred gold coins a year. If you earn three gold coins a day, you will not get more than a thousand gold coins a year.
What's the difference between this and stealing money!
Almost equal to half a year's tax revenue of a small town.
If the minor nobles still consider Liszt's blood, they dare not be presumptuous. Well, his older sister, Li Weila, probably has already started to figure out how to take away this business—Liszt knows very well that her sister is not a good man and woman who loves her younger brother, and taking away Liszt's toys was the most proud of her childhood. .
In addition, Lyton and Mrs. Mary may also be watching from behind.
Fishing for seafood is easy.
"No, I can't be careless!" At the end of the luncheon, Liszt was still thinking, "Perhaps, I should bring Levi's over and partner together."
Levi's, Rivera Rivera, Lytton, and Mrs. Mary are not good men and women.
But no matter what Levi's said, he is also the heir of the earl, and will be the lord of Liszt in the future. If he wins over Levi's, the business will be safe.
"Let's give Levi's a share, and cooperate with him personally instead of with Tulip Fort. I think he will be willing. Now Tulip Fort needs half of the resources to be distributed to Litton. Levi's should be very anxious, and he can put aside Litton's business. He won't miss it."
