Chapter 102 Vineyard
Chen Yan experienced an incident in elementary school that "the ex-girlfriend moved and refused to break up, and he wanted to take his ex-boyfriend away with him with a knife."
Chen Yan was confused when he was held on his neck by a pencil sharpener. He didn't understand why everyone was obviously good friends, so why did a good farewell turn into a robbery?
That thing taught him a truth, that is, even if she doesn't like you, don't let her hate you. Women's hatred is very terrible. Because when you are blinded by hatred, men call it "irrational" and women call it "losing rationality"... You can understand the subtle differences between them by yourself.
Under this guiding principle, since the goal has been achieved, the next step will naturally focus on "eliminating the baron's hatred towards me", which seems to be very effective at present!
It is very cheap to buy flowers and hire people, and the shape is copied from the Internet... It is really a model of "spend small money to do big things".
In fact, the money spent is far less than that I imagined, because as long as Chen Yan says the spell "This is all to please Her Majesty Anna Henry Yeta" many things will go surprisingly smoothly!
Just like contracting the square in front of the palace, leaving the flower shop closed the next day, etc., the price is all one crown! Because when you say "reject", what you reject is not me standing in front of you, but the baron of the principality.
As for the band that invited the bard, Chen Yan said at the time, "I have a way to make you perform in front of the nobles of the entire principality, and if you fail, you will not be expelled." So the band paid him fifty crowns to get this opportunity.
Finally, the plan was sold to a flower shop, and the naming rights were sold to another water shop (so they were so active in changing water)... After all the planning was completed, Chen Yan's small wallet not only did not shrink, but instead swelled miraculously.
I am a warlock if I eat with my face.

"Two choices, White Crow and Duver... Choose White Crow Vineyard, you need to promise to renovate the main building and let this beautiful vineyard shine again; if you choose Duver, you will also need to compensate the treasury of 2,000 kroner. And ensure that production resumes as soon as possible, many farmers rely on working in that vineyard to make a living."
After Dame Anna was in a good mood, two "suitable" choices were placed in front of Chen Yan within a day.
And they all come with a very detailed introduction. Of course, they only talk about the advantages of these two vineyards. It is somewhat "vague" about why these manors went bankrupt and are simply attributed to the economic crisis.
Both vineyards have problems that need to be solved urgently: Bai Crow Vineyard is located near the main road near the capital, and the dilapidated main house has greatly affected the image of the principality; Dufo Vineyard has gone bankrupt and has caused a large number of farmers to lose their jobs and have almost no food to eat.
Chen Yan compared it before and after...
Bai Crow Vineyard, which is the retirement place for centenarian Geralt.
The advantage of this manor is that it is very close to the city of Bauquelan and is densely populated. The vineyards are located at the end of the Sansredo Valley. This valley is famous for producing high-quality grapes suitable for winemaking. The famous East East, Bomino, Fiorano roses, etc. are all produced in this area;
The disadvantage is that the area where grapes can be grown is limited and there is no possibility of expansion to the surrounding area. Moreover, after the manor went bankrupt, most farmers went to Bowklan City to make a living, with less than thirty farmers left here, and it took a considerable time to resume production.
The Duver Vineyard is located on the north bank of the Yarruga River, across the lake from Bowkran City, near the port of Floviv.
The advantage of Duver Vineyard is that the vineyard area is several times that of white crows, and there are also large wasteland nearby, which has the foundation of becoming a large vineyard. It also has nearly 200 skilled farmers waiting to start construction, with sufficient manpower!
The disadvantage is that it is not in the traditional winemaking area, the wine brand is not recognized, and there are many deserted monsters around it...
"The most important thing is that I don't know whether it's you or the former owner of the manor who concealed the most important information!"
Chen Yan knocked on the table and said dissatisfiedly, "There is a monster nest hidden under this manor. Why don't you talk about this? There are at least 20 Qiqi Demons hidden in it, and maybe there is a female demon! This is the real reason why this manor went bankrupt because her cellar is connected to Qiqi Demon's nest! I don't know what you plan to do, to clean it up yourself or to invite the demon hunter? If I want me to do this, I can agree and buy the vineyard directly, but I will not pay extra money for it."
Don't ask me how I know, will I tell you about this side mission when playing games?
Besides, it is also for the good of the nobleman. If he bought this vineyard, his wife would give him a hat of forgiveness in the future.
****
After some comparison, Chen Yan decided to buy the Dufo Vineyard instead of the White Crow.
Although he has more feelings for Bai Ya, it is still too cruel to steal the only elderly care housing for the elderly in the empty nest... Besides, Bai Ya Vineyard is useless except for its location.
The Duver Vineyard is large enough, with quarries and forests nearby, and the building materials are sufficient. Chen Yan rebuilt a house for dimensionalization to provide convenience.
There are many monster nests nearby, these are living alchemy materials... As long as you keep rooting, you can always produce them, which is better than long flowing. There is also the Qiqi Demon nest underground. After buying it... that is my Qiqi Demon!
The mother demon must be protected, and no one is allowed to touch Qiqi Demon's eggs! This will be my alchemy factory assembly line in the future, specializing in the production of the "Qiqi Demon" series of potions... Why can I find a girlfriend? Just because I believe that "one minute or two, save up and get married", family men must know how to make careful calculations.
The tax officials of the Principality looked at each other, and one of them reached out to Chen Yan, "We'll make a deal."
Obviously, they knew Dufo’s problem very clearly.
...
The process of receiving a vineyard is very complicated, with land and estate accounting for only one-third of the value.
The second third is the documents transferred by officials to Chen Yan.
This records the rainwater and soil changes in each vintage, several mature wine recipes developed by the Duver Manor in history, and the sweetness of various varieties of grapes planted in the soil. The top priority is the evaluation of local wines left by the wine tasting masters and winemakers! These are the foundation of a vineyard.
The value of a century-old winemaking lies here... Without these documents, the Dufo Manor can only be considered a piece of mature land.
This is why Nifgaard could not occupy Toustente without obtaining the wine recipe. The empire only had an ordinary agricultural province.
Moreover, Emperor Enris will be famous in history as the "demon who destroys 200 top wines"! The nobles in the empire will become increasingly dissatisfied with the emperor because they cannot enjoy top wines... In Rome, leaders who cannot satisfy the supply of luxury goods are not good leaders. Who would care about an extra agricultural province in Rome?
The last third of the value is two boxes of wine. This is the sample wine handed over by the Duver Vineyard in the past to be stored by the state. This is the real original brew. Only by tasting this comparison can you truly restore the recipe to the wine. The wine finally tastes the taste and cannot be described by the recipe.
Chen Yan admired this system very well, it was really amazing...
When the crisis comes, whether it is smashed into the wine cellar of the Principality or burning the formula, the value of the Principality will plummet! Even if you want to rebuild in the future, who will be more suitable than this group of wine experts? The person who designed this set made a small Principality so exquisite and complex, is probably not an ordinary person.
The last one handed over was a list of more than 70 households and a total of 200 farmers, which was considered a gift.
Only when Chen Yan signs in the document is weak can the transfer procedures of the vineyard be officially completed.

"By the way, I remember that I made a small request to His Majesty in the end, I don't know..." Chen Yan asked casually.
Several tax officials looked at each other again, with helpless expressions, but one of them replied, "You go to take over the Duver Vineyard first. Three days later, Mr. Barnabassau Futi will officially become the housekeeper of you and Duver Vineyard after handing over the work of the White Crow Vineyard."
They really don’t understand why this person is eyeing the White Crow Vineyard? The place also wants it, and people also want it... If he can buy two, he may even buy it together.
Chen Yan finally couldn't help but dig Geralt's corner.
The widowed and widowed house can be kept, so don’t think about the housekeeper…
