Chapter 250 The Price of Conscience(1/2)
Li Qi did not spend the night in this winery because there were more than a dozen wineries waiting for him. He arrived at the winery almost during the day to inspect, and then rested in the air at night. He was so busy that he was not much better than him. He had to go for food by himself. Near Washington, there was a freight station that specialized in providing food for it, and the kingdom was officially, because the Chinese Alliance itself had no meat to eat and could not afford to raise the fast-growing wine at all. However, in these areas, the royal family did not come and had no food supply, so he could only catch the wild ones by himself.
However, Brother Ji was not resentful, because Li Qi was usually good to him. Not only did he give him wine, he also developed a sauce that he specially ate with meat.
It took twenty days for Li Qicai to visit twenty new wineries.
In fact, after seeing the first winery, other wineries basically don’t need to go to see them, and there will be no problems. Gao Li and the others care very much about the big customer of the Huaxia Alliance, but Li Qi still went to see them every one.
The purpose is to estimate how much wine these wineries can produce, because the raw materials of these wineries come from wild fruit forests and must be viewed in person before they can be estimated.
After walking around this circle, Li Qi also had a rough estimate in his mind.
If all of them are in operation and calculated in a ninety-day cycle, one million jars of wine can be produced, which is several times more than once.
These ninety-day cycles are calculated based on the plant growth cycle. Nowadays, many plants have a growth cycle of 60 to 90 days, mainly because the climate here is very stable, and the daily time is much longer than that of later generations. In addition, the wine aging is about ninety-day cycle.
However, the estimate of one million jars can only be based on the basis, not the maximum output of these wineries, but mainly due to manpower. If there is enough manpower, more arable land and fruit forests can be reclaimed. Now the number of factories has increased by twenty. As long as the raw materials and manpower keep up, the alcohol volume will still increase exponentially.
Of course, this cannot be satisfied with the entire market, but there are also quite a lot of them. Moreover, the raw material collection sites have begun to become diversified, so the levels of the taste of the wine must be different, so the price and other things naturally have to start to diversify.
When he returned to Washington, Li Qi immediately prepared these things.
He plans to divide the wine price based on aging, origin, and raw materials.
With this division, you can probably divide it into ten levels.
The most expensive wine is the finest golden wine that has aged 120 days. This 120 days is not something Li Qi imagined. He has been observing the aging period of these wines from the beginning, and it has never stopped. Now, in his special cave, there are more than 20 barrels of golden wine that have aged 200 days, but the taste is not outstanding, so he thinks that the 120-day golden wine is the best.
And they are all made of wooden barrels, and the containers of this wine actually represent the high and low. In fact, Li Qi has taught the process of wooden wine barrels to the production department. However, because of manpower, the production of wooden barrels is not very large, because the current production of wine is the key, and he cannot send too many people to produce wooden barrels.
Therefore, Liqi stipulates that wooden barrels are only used to hold the best gold wine.
And he named the gold wine in wooden barrels King wine.
You can tell the price by listening to this name. This is basically for the powerful people in the royal city, including the King of Earth.
In addition, there is also a high-quality black wine jar, which is specially used to store high-quality white wine.
In addition, Li Qi began to require that the wine jars produced today should have the mark of Nine Star Rings. After his launch, the brand will definitely be established.
For example, the best white wine was named Huajiu.
This is very simple. Pottery is the most mature technology of the China Alliance and the oldest technology.
In addition, Li Qi also asked Xuxu and others to produce jade wine bottles. He also planned to ask Beibei to help him produce some wine bottles to hold some expensive wines. He told Beibei early in the morning, but now it is mainly soda bottles. He also plans to contract out the wooden barrels. Although the barrel process is mature, it requires a large number of people. The Chinese Alliance does not have so many people to produce wine barrels.
On this day, Aries Xiuwen arrived in Washington again.
“Are the shipping price cuts nowadays?”
Li Qi glanced at the five or six Qu Ru, and smiled at Aries Xiuwen.
Aries Xiuwen said: "It can be said that, and it may get cheaper in the future."
Li Qi said curiously: "Why is this?"
Aries Xiuwen said: "In the past, the owners of the White Horse Mansions concentrated Qu Ru on transactions with our kingdom, but this generation basically cannot fly because there are not many food supply stations. The reason why Qu Ru's freight is expensive is mainly due to the supply of food. Now the Peak Master and the others have established a lot of food supply stations here. Moreover, the owners of the White Horse Mansions are said to have purchased another fifty Qu Ru, which is specifically used to fly here, and the price will definitely be much cheaper."
Speaking of this, he paused and then laughed: "Of course, it was mainly because you wrote that the new drinking items could be shipped. Our president didn't want to wait any longer, so he hired Qu Rulai to transport them."
"Brother Aries, please wait a moment."
Li Qi turned around and gave a wink at Nong. He saw Nong immediately walked up with a dozen people. They were carrying a large wooden box in two groups. When the wooden box was opened, there was a cold air inside, and some soda bottles were placed in the middle of the ice.
This looks extraordinary.
Aries Xiuwen said: "Is this new drinking product?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the name of this new drinking product is soda. It is not only delicious, but also very thirst-quenching."
As he said that, he took out a bottle from it, handed it to Aries Xiuwen, and instructed the farmer to distribute the remaining soda to the rest of the royal family.
Aries Xiuwen took the soda bottle and saw that the cap was very strange. He curiously said, "How to open the cap?"
Li Qi said: "I think your royal family can pop up."
"Boom out?"
Aries doesn't understand the writing style very well.
Li Qi said: "Just press your thumb under the bottle cap and just pop it up."
He thought that the bottle opener for Aries Xiuwen was really unnecessary. The farmers could easily uncover it, and of course their royal family could use bullets.
As expected, Aries Xiuwen flicked the bottle cap and flew out, but it was not that the bottle cap was not tightly sealed.
Li Qi picked up the bottle cap and said, "This is also money!"
Aries Xiuwen was just a little stunned and didn't care. He couldn't wait to take a sip, tsk twice, and then said with surprise: "Miscellaneous! Your soda is sour and sweet. There is nothing special about this kind of juice. Many juices taste the same, but the feeling of drinking is different, and it is very cool and quenching thirst. It's really amazing!"
As he said that, he took another sip, immediately burped, and laughed: "I understand why this drinking product is called soda!"
He is a gentle trader, and the royal family responsible for transportation has no need to say much about eating. They really want to drink one sip after another like drinking, but they can't help it. The more they drink, the more they want to drink it. They just happened to have a dry mouth and unconsciously drank it all in one sip.
He also burped out a hiccup at the same time, and then looked at the farmer with a gaze.
Even a three-year-old child understands that look.
Can you give me another bottle?
This soda can’t help drinking!
Nong said: "Don't worry, everyone, we have prepared a lot of soda for everyone to enjoy when we eat later."
Smart people!
Those royal families were ecstatic when they heard this, and this trip was really not in vain!
However, when eating, it was not a bottle of soda, but a jar of soda. Moreover, these sodas were produced from Li Qi's R&D room, not from the soda factory, because there were not many bottles at present, so I had to transport them to Niu Tuofeng.
No one cares about these things. As long as there is soda, it doesn’t matter what you put in.
After eating and drinking, they set off to return to Niu Tuo Peak.
Li Qi calculated the time they arrived at Niutuo Peak, and was also preparing to fly to Niutuo Peak. Everything was ready here, and he had to negotiate the sales matters.
When he arrived at Niu Tuo, the soda had just arrived.
Jiuwei Baimei, Honghu Xiaozhu and the others heard that the new drinking products arrived at the same time as Li Qi, so they immediately rushed to the trading hall. Soda has not been monopolized at present, and they have suffered a loss last time. This time, they can't let Heiyang Jiuzhen or Jiuwei Baimei monopolize the soda.
The largest private room in the trade hall.
I saw the big owners of Niu Tuofeng sitting inside. The small table in front of them was filled with wine and hot pot, but their eyes were all on the slightly transparent bottle.
They are all used to using jade bottles, and when they see this soda bottle, they see the garbage.
But that's not the key.
The key is the drinks inside.
After hearing a few "puff puff puff" sounds, Taurus Qianren and others opened the bottle cap.
Li Qi said: "Don't be busy trying it, this soda should be better after adding ice."
Hei Yang Jiuzhen smiled and said, "I'm ready for this ice cube!"
I saw some ice cubes on everyone's table.
Although the weather here is room temperature, there is no shortage of ice. Many surrounding mountains have a large number of ice cubes. With the power of their royal family, they can directly transport ice cubes to make ice cubes, which does not cost much.
Li Qi first picked up some ice cubes and threw them into the cup, then poured the soda into it.
Taurus Qianren watched and did as he did.
"Listen, this soda seems to have a sound."
The Taurus Thousand Blades were shocked and said suddenly.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Master, this is the sound of bubbles, which is why it is called soda."
Everyone looked into the cup and saw small bubbles appearing, and they were immediately surprised.
"I'll give you a cup."
Li Qi raised his glass.
They also took a sip first, then took another sip, and then took another sip, and couldn't stop at all.
Until you drink the soda in your cup.
"Cool!"
Taurus Qianren put down the empty cup and quickly took out a bottle. While adding ice, he said excitedly: "Your soda is so delicious. I think it's a little worse than wine. Hiccup... It's so comfortable. Haha!"
Honghu Xiaozhu said: "These are two different drinking products. How can we compare them? I think they have their own advantages and disadvantages."
Baima Shenxing smiled and said, "Li Qi, your talent is really amazing. The wine has not been supplied yet. You have made this soda again, I am afraid that no matter how much money you have, it will not be enough for you to make."
After drinking this soda, everyone probably estimated that it was worth it in their hearts, which was not necessarily lower than that of wine.
Can they not envy it?
Li Qi smiled and said, "The White Horse owner is so serious, but I haven't made much money."
Taurus Qianren said carelessly: "This is true, all the money is earned by Bai Mei and Jiuzhen."
