In the case of the carom fruits, the first shipment of them had already arrived about a day ago and was waiting in the storage to be processed. For now, Lucius had asked for about a hundred gold coins worth of carom fruits to be procured.

This was in fact a massive quantity of them as one kilogram of carom fruits was worth only 10 copper coins. This meant that the number of carom fruits that Lucius had bought was about 100,000 kilograms.

There were currently over eighty barrels full of carom fruits stacked at the storage area of the brewery, just waiting to be opened. These barrels had needed multiple carriages to be brought to the brewery as well.

If they included the transportation and logistical costs of bringing these carom fruits, it reached about 140 gold coins. To Lucius and the Inanis family, this was a meager sum and nothing in terms of the other expenditure that they were doing.

Even the mostly salaries of all the employees would come around to about 50 gold coins and with the minor expenses added to it, the total cost to produce the wine came to about 200 gold coins per month.

Then came the actual production of the wine. With the methodology and process that Lucius had devised over the months, one kilogram of carom fruits could produce about three liters of wine.

But this was just the quantity produced, when it came to actual sales, every one liter bottle of Humble blaze would be sold for ten silver coins. Which meant that the 10 copper\'s worth of carom fruits were converted to about 30 silvers of wine.

This was an over 300% profit margin, which was simply massive. Plus, a single batch of the wine could be produced in a week. It took one day to prepare and clean the carom fruits, four days for the fragmentation and one more day for the packaging. 

Then the final day would be needed for final checks and then sending it off to be sold. In all, they expected to be using about 25,000 kilograms of carom fruits if all the vats in the brewery were used.

This meant that about 75,000 bottles of Humble blaze would be produced every week, which was simply a massive quantity. Thankfully, this was the final volume that was made after diluting it with water or there was no way the vats would be able to hold such a large quantity.

The wine in its pure form, was too concentrated to be enjoyed by the average person and needed to be diluted further. Plus, Lucius didn\'t want there to be accidental fires while producing and  transporting said wine. 

He was going to make the concentrated version of this wine in the future anyway and it would be priced even higher. Lucius had a whole pipeline of plans ready for the coming couple of years if everything went as expected.

Lucius, John and Kiana wandered the brewery while it was still empty, and Lucius did some inspections on the equipment. Even if it was checked already, he still wanted to ensure it one last time on his own, to be sure.

They spent about ten minutes in the brewery, after which the workers started to enter it and got to work. 

"Do you want to observe it a bit more?" John inquired.

"Hmm… let\'s see how they do it." Lucius replied.

"We can head to the third floor gallery then." John said, and the three of them climbed the stairs and went to the very top of the brewery.

From there, Lucius could take in the entire brewery all at once. This was also where the office of Alessa was made, along with the other administrative parts of the brewery. This part was also Lucius\'s design, which was then modified by the architects so that the workers could actually make it.

The first two floors were the production area, while the top floor was the administrative area, then finally the basement was the storage area. This was where the carom fruits were currently stored and also the extra equipment.

Lucius and the others watched as the workers brought up barrel upon barrel of carom fruits from the basement. Once the first few barrels were bought up, another group of workers opened them and took out the carom fruits.

The fruits were then put into a large open tub, which was then filled with water and salt. This tub was also made of steel and was placed on what was basically a large stove. The workers started putting split logs underneath the tub before igniting it with some oil.

Once the fire started raging, the tub got heated and after a few minutes, the water boiled. Lucius and the rest watched one for an hour, during which the workers took out the carom fruits and peeled them before sending them to a different section of the brewery where they would be mashed into a pulp.

Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye, after which Lucius finally felt satisfied.

"I guess this should be enough," Lucius muttered.

"Is it up to your expectations, Young Lord Asher?" John questioned.

"Hmm… so far there have been no mistakes, so yes." Lucius answered.

"Excellent. I\'ll try to ensure that this is kept up and our first batch is ready as soon as possible." John replied with a big smile on his face.

"I hope so too," Lucius said and nodded his head.

The three of them headed downstairs and split up. John went to his duty, while Lucius and Kiana boarded the Carriage to head back to the mansion. During the journey, Lucius was silent and closed his eyes, resting them for a bit.

Kiana looked at Lucius and wondered what he must be thinking in his head. So far, he had been coming up with one surprise after the other and now that one of their major plans was set up and executed successfully; she was greatly impressed.
