Chapter 664: Price-2

The Eagle King thought for a moment, then nodded and said, ” “Sure, this is already a very high position.”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; Eagle King, the price of the milk wine you get from the other beastmen clans is one Jin of milk wine and five Jin of grain. When you deliver it to the divine beast city, I can give you five Jin and two taels of grain for one Jin of milk wine. The extra two taels can be considered as the transportation fee for the Eagle Clan. What do you think, Eagle King? ”
The Eagle King was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He knew very well that although Zhao Hai only added two taels to the five catties of grain, it was not enough to support a large quantity. Even those small orc tribes could produce a lot of milk wine in a year. If a family of orcs could produce 100 catties of milk wine a month, they could exchange it for 500 catties of grain, and they could get 20 catties of benefit from it. How many families of orcs were there in the entire orc tribe? How much food could they get? In the future, the Eagle Clan wouldn’t have to go out to buy food.
At the thought of this, the Eagle King did not immediately agree. He frowned and said, ” &Quot; Sir, to be honest, this price is a little high. This is very disadvantageous to you. If you lose money because of this, it won’t be good for our beastmen clan either. How about this? I think Sir can set the price at one Jin of milk wine for three Jin of grain. Our Eagle Clan will take one tael for every ten Jin of grain. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned. He had never seen someone like this who would lower his own profits. However, when he recalled the Eagle King’s words, Zhao Hai understood what he meant. The Eagle King was afraid that he would stop selling milk wine after he made a loss. If that happened, the beastmen would be the ones who would suffer. The price he offered was also very reasonable. It was a price that the beastmen could accept.
Zhao Hai frowned,”isn’t this price a little low?” How much wine and milk can each family of the beastmen produce in a month?”
The Eagle King smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, Sir. On average, each household of the beastmen tribe produces no less than 50 catties of milk wine every month. This is a huge number. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. This number was within his expectations. He had lived in the orc grassland for a while, so he knew that the orcs could not live without milk wine. They could produce more than 50 catties of milk wine a month, but they had to keep a portion for themselves and sell the rest. A household could sell about 20 catties of milk wine a month, which was considered a lot. After he got the milk wine, he had to purify it. It would be good if one Jin of milk wine could produce one tael of good milk wine. He could still accept this number.
Zhao Hai nodded his head. &Quot; alright, we’ll do as you say. Tomorrow, we’ll announce it using this format. I’ll have to trouble you with this, Eagle King. &Quot;
The Eagle King smiled and said, ” “It’s no trouble at all. This is a good thing for our orc tribe. However, Sir, I can’t sell you all of the 50 pounds of milk wine that I just said. We can go without eating, but we can’t go without drinking. Therefore, we can only sell the extra milk wine to you. Sir, you have to be mentally prepared. I’ll give you a rough number, what do you think?”
Zhao Hai was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed to the Eagle King, ” &Quot; Zhao Hai thanks Eagle King. Eagle King’s actions are too important to Zhao Hai. &Quot;
The Eagle King chuckled and stood up to help Zhao Hai up, ” &Quot; you don’t have to be like this, Sir. We’re cooperating with you now. If your business is good, our income will be higher. &Quot; Zhao Hai stood up and smiled.
After resting for a day at the Ice King’s Place, the Eagle King did as he said and spread the news throughout the Prairie. At the same time, he divided the Prairie into 20 regions. In each region, there was a member of the Eagle Clan responsible for collecting the milk wine. Zhao Hai gave each member an interspatial bag.
After that, Zhao Hai returned to the beast God city. He was waiting for news from the Eagle Clan. They should be able to tell him how much milk wine the beastmen could produce.
Sure enough, on the fifth day after Zhao Hai returned to the divine beast city, the Eagle King sent someone to deliver a message. The entire orc tribe could sell him about ten million catties of wine and milk a month. This number was much lower than Zhao Hai had expected. After asking, he understood that although the magical beasts of the orc tribe produced a lot of milk, they also had uses for it. They wanted to use it to make food, and they had to keep a portion of the brewed wine for themselves to drink. Therefore, there was not much that could be sold.
Although the orcs were short of food, due to their living environment, they had to eat a lot of dairy and meat at the same time. They couldn’t live without these things. If they weren’t there, it would be difficult for them to survive the winter.
Even so, the orcs were still very grateful to Zhao Hai. They did not intend to use milk wine as their main source of income. They only treated it as something to exchange for pocket money. It was just like the hens raised by the farmers on earth. If they laid too many eggs, they would buy some for some pocket money. If they laid too few, they would keep them for themselves.
Although it was only some change to the orcs, it was a great help to them. Many orcs had made up their minds that they would not exchange their milk wine for food, but some daily necessities.
Zhao Hai didn’t care much about the situation. He could afford 30 million catties of grain a month. He could also afford to sell more than a million catties of milk wine in the human continent.
After the deal was settled, Zhao Hai handed over the matter to Atai. Atai was only in charge of collecting the wine and paying. He didn’t need to care about anything else.
After dealing with the matters here, Zhao Hai returned to the iron Mountain fortress. The winery in the iron Mountain fortress had already been built. It was divided into four factories, namely the wine and fruit Factory, the grain and wine factory, the beer factory, and the milk and wine factory.
The machines in these factories had been searched. They used some more modern equipment, but they still needed a lot of workers.
The original orcs were not enough. Most of the slaves that had followed Zhao Hai were sent out to manage the village. Therefore, the workers in the winery were all orcs. Now that the winery had expanded, many orcs were too busy. Zhao Hai immediately looked for the original human slaves to understand the situation. They knew that the new slaves had magical beasts in every family, so it was very convenient to plow the land. Some families already had surplus labor, which was just enough for them to work in the winery to support the family.
Zhao Hai agreed without hesitation. At the same time, he asked green and the others to start building schools in the blackdirt wastelands. Many of the slaves did not have children. Zhao Hai was prepared to let the children go to school. Of course, there was a condition. They had to do a good job.
After settling the matters in the blackdirt wastelands, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the Roson Empire. He informed Randolf, Charlie, Jass, and the rest of the Sheila family that he was ready to start a milk wine business.
This time, Zhao Hai also purified some of the orc milk wine. Although it wasn’t as good as ye Dao’s milk wine, it still tasted good. They even created a yogurt wine by accident. This yogurt wine tasted different from milk wine. It was a little strange when it first entered the mouth, but it also had a very strange taste. Zhao Hai also refined some of this wine.
He then gave the wine to Randolf and the others to try. Randolf and the others immediately agreed to do this business. Zhao Hai didn’t set a high price for the wine, and ordinary civilians could afford it. It was too attractive to Randolf and the others.
There was enough food for the people on the continent, and they had to supply it to the orcs, so no one used food to make wine. People only drank fruit wine, but not all fruits could be made into wine. Therefore, wine was a rare thing on the ark continent. Ordinary civilians could not afford to drink it. If even civilians could afford to drink Zhao Hai’s wine, how many sales would they make every day? That was definitely an unimaginable number.
