Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 68 Boutique Luxury Store Plan (Thanks to Sora no Shiraen for the 1000 rewards!)

Butler Henry didn't quite understand Sean's behavior.

To brew dwarven spirits, shouldn't you recruit a master brewer?

Why did the lord recruit a carpenter and a shoemaker?
At this time, Xiao En had just woken up, stretched his waist, and explained: "The carpenter is recruited to make the utensils for brewing wine. Making dwarven spirits is not complicated, and only one carpenter is enough.

As for the recruitment of shoemakers, of course, it is to make shoes.

Didn't I tell you that I have seen the God of Light?I met the God of Light in the Kingdom of God of Light.

Not only that, but on the way to the Kingdom of God, I also saw the shoes on the feet of the gods.

If I copy the styles of the gods' shoes, do you think I can make money? "

"Of course no problem! That's a god!" Henry exclaimed.

"Go and call those two craftsmen to the nearby workshop, call it to the mill outside the castle, and prepare the materials I gave you by the way, and I will go there later." Sean ordered.

"No problem, I'll go right away!" The butler Henry walked outside excitedly, and almost fell when he turned around.

"Wait, Henry, I haven't finished yet." Sean helplessly stopped Henry.

"My lord, what else is there?"

"If there are only two craftsmen, the manpower is definitely not enough. How about you go and call those children who came out of the slums, after all, they are all light physical labor, I believe they can do it."

"Okay." Henry left the castle after answering, and went to recruit craftsmen and children.

The reason why Sean recruited a shoemaker started with Sean's money-making plan.

Now there are not many gold coins in the castle, so Sean has to think about making money.

Sean told Lucio this morning that he was not joking about going to Jon City, but that Sean was really going to Jon City.

Sean's plan to make money is to open a boutique luxury store in Jon City.

The luxury store mainly deals in four products that are not available in this world, namely spirits, perfume, high heels and "Romance Novels".

Except for spirits which are mainly sold to dwarves, the target audience of the other three products are the nobles of Jorn City.

After all, the civilians in Jon City have no money in their hands, and they have to buy indulgences if they have a little money, and their lives are miserable.

The only ones who are rich and don't care about spending money are the nobles in the city.

……

It starts with the first product: spirits.

The method of making spirits is actually very simple. It is to boil the ale in this world in a large pot, and then guide the steam into the condensing device (Sean recruited a carpenter to make the condensing device) to condense.

Because alcohol is more volatile than water, the alcohol content in the condensate of steam is much higher than that of ale. These condensates are the puree of spirits.

After the puree of spirits has been processed (placed or mixed with water) and reaches the appropriate degree, the production of spirits is considered complete.

This is followed by a second product: perfume.

The method of making perfume is actually similar to distilling spirits.

Repeated distillation of spirits can obtain high-concentration alcohol;
Put the petals of the flowers into a large pot and distill them with water to get a mixture of plant essential oils and water;
Finally, the plant essential oil, water, and alcohol are mixed together in a ratio of 6:4:1 to obtain a floral perfume.

No need to think about it, once perfume comes out, it will definitely have a fatal influence on the nobles of this world, especially female nobles.

Then there is the third product: high heels.

According to Sean's observation, people in this world don't wear high heels.

High heels allow knights to fasten their stirrups, make people stand straighter, and give people a sense of superiority in height, which can be said to be both practical and beautiful.

So Sean planned to use the beasts and warcraft skins he had hunted these days to make high-heeled shoes, and then sell them in the same store as the perfume.

Of course, Sean will not naively think that adding a high heel to ordinary leather shoes will sell well, but will restore the styles of the popular high-heeled shoes and boots in his previous life as much as possible, and then say that they are the styles of shoes he saw in the Kingdom of God .

Of course, people in this world are not stupid. If they only sell shoes, the nobles will definitely notice something strange.

But if your store sells both spirits and perfume, with the addition of these two "products of the gods", the credibility of the "shoes of the Kingdom of God" will be very high.

Of course, the biggest problem with shoes is that they are easy to be copied, but it doesn't matter, as long as you take the high-end route in the future.

The last product is "Romance Novels" written by Luo Dian.

Although it is still uncertain whether the novel will sell well in this world, the aristocrats who come to their store to buy perfume and high-heeled shoes are those who are not short of money, and I believe the sales of novels will not be bad.

The above is Sean's entire plan to build a boutique luxury store in Jorn City.

As for the issue of publicity, we will think about it after arriving in Jorn City.

……

It would take a lot of time for Henry, the housekeeper, to recruit two craftsmen. Sean had nothing to do, so he walked into the study and drew the design drawings of the distilled liquor cooling device and high-heeled shoes.

Distilled wine requires a carpenter to make a steaming barrel on a pot filled with ale, covering the entire cauldron;
Then make a small hole in the top of the steamer;
Finally, use bamboo as a conduit to collect the steam in the bucket and cool it with water.

As for the shoes, Sean tried his best to recall several very popular high-heeled leather shoes and boots in his previous life, and drew their styles on the parchment.

As for how similar it can be, it depends on the level of the shoemaker.

In less than 10 minutes, Sean had a rough sketch of both items.

The two craftsmen should not have come in such a short time, so Sean read the book.

Now his experience value has become level 16 105/700 after a morning of hunting.

The speed of gaining experience points for hunting in Thorn Ridge is very low, and it may take five or six days of continuous leveling to upgrade to a level.

Although reading a book can only increase experience points by 10 points for an hour, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so Sean diligently read the book.

An hour later, Sean put down the book in his hand, called Windsor and left the castle, and came to the mill outside the castle.

The mill was not far from the castle. It was originally stipulated in the territory that all farmers had to grind here after receiving grain, and then collected one-tenth of the "milling tax", so the mill occupied a very large area.

But it's not yet the harvest season, Sean hasn't recruited mill workers yet, and the entire mill is still idle.

So the mill is the best place for Sean to direct the work of the two craftsmen.

Walking into the mill, Sean saw the butler Henry, two craftsmen and twenty children were already waiting for him in the mill.

"My lord, these two are Paul the carpenter and Jamie the shoemaker from the former territory. They had already entered the city of Jorn to find a job, but they came back with me when they heard the news of tax exemption in the territory.

Not only that, but Jamie is also the best shoemaker in the town. When the old master was still alive, all the shoes of the master's servants in the castle were made by him. "The housekeeper Henry introduced the two craftsmen in front of Sean.
