After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Meeting of Future Business Partners
“Anyway, enough of those old men. Let me introduce you to my three most premium products—the ones in my tavern cannot compare!”

“First is my King Malt Whiskey—crafted with meticulous care and secret techniques using the finest barley Altera can offer. It is distilled in special pot stills and aged in seasoned oak barrels, rousing a special flavor that can be quite addicting.”

He specifically rented a Level 2 Farm not for the planting, but for the enhanced fermentation!

He continued to tell them more as he poured down a bit on each of their samplers.”It is rich amber color and rich of sophisticated flavor—featuring notes of various kinds of dried fruits, warm spices—added with a hint of smokiness, leaving a smooth and lingering finish on the tongue.”

People of Xeno had enhanced senses, and the whiff of the aroma that entered their noses was already an experience in and of itself.

The men curiously lifted their personal cups, tasting, and their eyes brightened at the richness of it! It was also extremely refreshing, as if it cooled down her entire body.

Otto, in particular, tasted the layers of flavors, and appreciated it on a deeper level. “Delicious!”

The taste was really special! They had of course drunk in the Heartbreak Tavern. But there seemed to be something different this time. It was also cool—adding to the refreshing feel.

Vino proceeded on introducing some more wine—many of which were apparently not available in his tavern!

Next, there was what he called the Pineapple Brandy, a golden brandy made from the finest pineapples—a fruit that was not yet as commercially available as the others. It was fermented and double distilled to create this smooth and potent spirit.

Finally, there was the Plum Amaretto, a sophisticated mix from rice plums and almonds, fermented and blended to taste the delicate almond essence.

The techniques for both these liquors were special and not available to most, even to those working with liquor. Hence, Vino was confident in this extremely ‘premier’ line of products of his!

“These are so rare, it’s better for me to make exclusive lines of products from them,” he said, smiling at them. “But because I know you’re big customers, I’m going to give it to you at a promo: 3 bottles for just 50 gold!!”

Note that the bottle wasn’t even that big.

But Otto didn’t seem to falter. “I’ll buy as many bottles as I’m allowed!”

“Yes, yes.”

Anyway, they easily added a few bottles in their space, only to realize that a few didn’t fit anymore!

Note that some of them had space stones! And they were all filled up after a few days in this place!

Anyway, seeing as some bottles couldn’t be stored, they decided to taste a bit. The girls were all hungry for fruit, so they decided to have a drink in the teahouse instead, which lead to the current scene of Cassandra gaping at the newcomers.

“Cousin?” She asked, surprised to see the man here.

“Oh! My beautiful cousin, Cassandra…” Jonathan said with a smile that made Cassandra’s eyes twitch. The man then turned to the Golds, sporting an even wider smile. “I… My name is Jonathan, Lord of Ferrol Town.”

“Ah, yes,” Otto and the others nodded. “Nice to meet you.”

While the Golds were civil, Cassandra couldn’t help but feel worried. She looked at Jonathan up and down. Her parents didn’t send him here, did they?

“When did you get here? And why?”

Although Towntown lords could easily and safely travel around villages due to their strengths, it didn’t normally happen. For the most part, they would see it ‘below’ them, so it was almost impossible to see a Town lord visiting a village at all.

Jonathan shrugged, unashamed. “Well, the mercenary team seduced us.”

“Ah, makes sense.”

“And the Golds…”

“Oslo brought them here.”

“Oslo?”

“He got hired in Altera.”

“OH…”

So Altera was actually the one who got the Golds? And it had been more than a month. This meant he not only returned, but brought his siblings with him!

It ended up being a blessing that his affiliates didn’t get him. After all, if it was his subsidiaries’ villages the Gold landed at, it was likely he’d have just gone home after the 1st month, never to be seen again!

Anyway, Jonathan and the others naturally served as hosts and started pandering a bit. Although the lord of a town was considered a noble, a top noble in the city was still superior—especially one as rich as the Golds.

Anyway, it was naturally a little awkward between the two groups except for the cousins, but the ice was broken when Soa arrived with their orders.

As such, few more fruit platters were served and the groups started to talk to each other.

“I had been to Ferrol Town a few times in the past for an event,” Otto said. “Good job.”

For a Town, Ferrol Town was definitely well-managed.

Jonathan flinched and almost cried. “Thank you!” he said. “If there’s anything I should improve, I would be open to suggestions.”

Otto blinked and looked around. “Well, I think watching Altera would be enlightening for all of us.”

At this topic, everyone’s spines straightened. Jonathan looked at Otto, the top businessman of Bleulle, inheriting his maternal bloodline’s prowess, “Speaking of Altera Village. What do you think so far, especially since you’ve been here a few days.”

Otto’s eyebrows rose at the question. He smirked, though he answered honestly.

“Though I have only been to cities and towns, it’s safe to say Altera Village is far superior than others in its ranks.

“It has novel ideas, amenities, products, and the like. Its people are happy as well, even if they weren’t rich. After staying here, I’ve come to realize that the role of each individual was far greater than we thought.

“Overall… It has a growth potential superior to Bleulle.”

This made every man’s business senses tingle even stronger. They knew Altera was good from what they’ve seen so far, but words from the expert definitely had much more weight!

Altera… was definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with!

If they won this war, of course.
