The count and Lady Mary have both left Coral Island and gone to Blue Dragon Island.
Lady Penelope sent blessings, but I did not come to Tulip Castle.
Therefore, without the constraints 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, and had a great time.
Liszt will inevitably be involved.
Many nobles know that the earl does not pay much attention to this third son who is relatively useless in talent, but no matter what, the bloodline of Liszt is unquestionably noble - the paternal lineage is the earl, and the maternal lineage is Marquis. There is no third generation, and they are 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 Mudbrick Town as a guest?"
"Brook, I will take time to be a guest at Mudbrick Town. It only takes two hours from Flower Town to Mudbrick Town. And you can also come to Flower Town as a guest, and I will entertain you with the best seafood."
"I will definitely go, I love seafood, especially oysters."
"Of course, everyone loves oysters."
"Haha."
After the sumptuous luncheon, there is dessert.
Liszt saw ice cream. Compared with the small town that can only make four flavors of ice cream, Tulip Castle's ice cream has eight flavors.
The ice cream hasn't spread yet.
So this time, the after-dinner dessert surprised all the nobles, but not many people asked about the ice cream recipe. Ice was really not something that young nobles could afford. Only the sons of the two viscounts made a request to Liszt to buy the recipe. Their family could afford ice.
Liszt is also welcome.
To Brandon Gravel, the son of Viscount Gravel City, he gave the transaction price. "Three hundred kilograms of pig iron, the formula is yours." This price was twice as expensive as what he gave to his sister Lvera, and outsiders could not get his preferential price.
Brandon gritted his teeth. "Deal!"
Then Liszt gave the price to Aubrey·Huicao, the son of Viscount Beer Island: "One hundred and fifty barrels of hoppy beer."
The wealthy heir of the Humulus Family did not 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 at Coral City."
"Refreshing."
Liszt I'm very happy. A flashy formula has successfully changed a lot of things.
But the next moment, his expression almost changed.
Because Aubrey suddenly said, "By the way, Liszt, I plan to catch seafood from the beaches around Beer Island and sell it to the outside world. What do you think?"
There is still a smile on his face.
In his heart, he wanted to kill Aubrey. Liszt just asked lightly, "Seafood? Why is Humulus Family interested in seafood? Hops have brought enough wealth to the Humulus Family."
"No one cares about earning less gold coins, right?" Aubrey is very fat and has a bulging belly, as if she was pregnant in ten months. You can tell at a glance that she has eaten well since she was a child. "Seafood is a good thing, especially oysters, which are endless fun. Flower Town's seafood business makes me jealous."
Currently Coral Island and only Flower Town are catching large quantities of seafood and selling it to the outside world.
The profits are huge, bringing in nearly one gold coin every day. Just a few days ago, Liszt purchased three more carriages, plus the previous six, for a total of nine carriages, selling seafood non-stop.
Now it has been divided into three caravans. Old Grandet personally leads one caravan to travel between Coral City and Tulip Castle; Harpagon leads one caravan to Birch City leads the way; Shylock leads a team to Snake Spear City. With the current sales momentum, two or three gold coins a day will not be a problem in the future.
He was ready to dominate the Coral Island seafood market, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway.
Aubrey actually wants to get involved in the seafood business.
If it is a small noble like ordinary Baron who wants to get involved in the seafood business, Liszt would not mind complaining to the earl and let the other party understand that Coral Island is the most noble bloodline in the world and you cannot offend him. But Humulus Family is different. Viscount Beer Island is one of the earliest followers of the earl. He works hard and has great achievements, and it is difficult to overwhelm others with his power.
If he were the heir to the earl, Humulus Family would definitely not dare to reach out randomly. The key is that he is just Flower Town Baron.
He squinted his eyes slightly.
Liszt instantly thought about various ways to deal with it, but on the surface it was still as calm as the wind. "Really, it seems that Coral Island's seafood market will be much more lively in the future."
Aubrey laughed, "Liszt, I'm sorry to misunderstand you. I have no intention of selling seafood on Coral Island. This is your business, and 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.
There was no friendship between them at all. Aubrey was probably around 27 or 28 years old and was Levis's best friend. Surprisingly, Aubrey had no intention of getting involved in Coral Island's seafood market.
"Coral Island doesn't sell seafood, so what do you mean?"
"Our family has several good channels for selling to outer islands. You were the first to discover the seafood market, so Coral Island is naturally yours. I don't want to compete maliciously with my friends." Aubrey spoke in a very candid tone. If Liszt didn't have some experience, I'm afraid he would be moved to pieces.
No wonder Humulus Family can monopolize beer Peanut awareness, know the current affairs, and know how to advance and retreat, so it is difficult not to succeed.
He picked up the red wine glass and raised it as a gesture. "Cheers to our friendship."
"Of course, here's to friendship."
The seafood business was a false alarm.
But Liszt doesn't think that the seafood market has been stable since then. Aubrey's goodwill move today made him understand that money moves people's hearts.
If we say that in the beginning, seafood was just a rare thing, and the nobles tried it.
Now I am afraid that the profits of the seafood business have been clearly understood by the nobles. It is at least one gold coin a day, and there may be more in the future. Think about it, one gold coin a day means more than 300 gold coins a year. If you make three coins a day, you will not get more than a thousand gold coins a year.
How is this different from robbing money?
It's almost as much as a small city's tax revenue for half a year.
If the young noble still takes Liszt's bloodline into account and dares not act presumptuously, then his sister Lvera may have already begun to figure out how to steal this business - Liszt knows very well that her sister is not a good man who loves her younger brother. Taking away Liszt's toys was her most proud fun when she was a child.
In addition, maybe Lytton and Lady Mary are also watching from behind.
Catching seafood is easy.
"No, I can't be careless!" At the end of the luncheon, Liszt was still thinking, "Maybe, I should bring Levis over and join forces together."
Levis, Lvera, Lytton and Lady Mary are not good men and women.
But no matter what, Levis is also the heir to the earl and will be the lord of Liszt in the future. If he wins over Levis, this business will be safe.
"Give Levis shares. I think he will be willing to cooperate with him privately instead of with Tulip Castle. Now Tulip Castle has to share half of its resources with Lytton. Levis should be very anxious. If he can put aside Lytton's business, he will not miss it."
