Starting Life as a Baron

"This is?"

Anna looked at the small box in front of her that only had a bottle and a small jar.

"You can take a look."

Alan smiled.

"Pour some wine for Miss Anna."

Alan spoke to the maid beside him.

The maid immediately poured the wine from the bottle into a glass.

In an instant, a rich and mellow wine fragrance spread out.

This wine fragrance was different from perfume. It was more mellow and strong.

Anna's eyes instantly widened. It wasn’t just her. Even the knights beside her widened their eyes. Some even swallowed their saliva.

"What a fragrant wine?"

Anna exclaimed. As a merchant, she had seen all kinds of delicious food and tasted countless fine wines, but she had never encountered a wine with such a strong aroma.

Alan made a gesture for her to taste the wine.

Anna took a deep breath and took a sip from the glass.

When the wine entered her mouth, there was a strong burning taste of the alcohol and the sweet grape fragrance in the distilled wine bloomed slightly in the burning taste.

The distilled wine instantly conquered Anna's taste buds.

"Good wine, such a strong and fragrant wine!"

Anna's eyes lit up and the way she looked at Alan had changed.

Before, she had viewed Alan as just a small Baron, but now, she had increased his weight to a status comparable to Earl Albert's. In her opinion, Alan's value and potential far exceeded Earl Albert's.

"This is a wine unique to my Rose Town. I call it the Night of Roses because it can make people feel fiery and passionate just like a rose."

Alan said with a smile.

"Good name!"

Anna agreed with the name' Night of Roses.

"Next, Miss Anna, please try some dessert."

Alan had someone open the jar of maltose, revealing the dark yellow maltose inside.

"What is this?"

Anna had already let go of all her arrogance and contempt. She looked at Alan and asked with anticipation in her gentle voice.

"Maltose, a little dessert. I hope Miss Anna will like it."

Alan had someone bring Anna a small spoon. Anna dug out a spoonful of maltose. The sticky maltose pulled out long silky threads.

"It's so sticky."

Anna exclaimed and put a spoonful of maltose into her mouth.

As soon as she tasted the maltose, she became very excited.

"So sweet, so sweet. This is the sweetest food I have ever eaten in my life! Oh my God! Are all my chefs and dessert makers idiots?"

Anna was so excited that she couldn't help but curse her cooks.

After all, in her eyes, she had spent a large number of gold coins to support them, but they couldn’t make such a sweet thing.

When Alan saw Anna's reaction, his smile grew brighter.

"Then, beautiful and noble Miss Anna, may I ask if I am now qualified to receive your support?"

Alan's voice made Anna's expression stiffen. This beautiful woman was very conflicted.

She had already decided that she must take these three treasures today since they could completely improve her status in the family.

Moreover, she believed that Alan would never let her down.

Although Alan was a just Baron, he was very ambitious, and he had amazing talent and ability as well as wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

This was what she had learned after she came into contact with Alan. Except for having a mediocre cultivation talent, he was perfect in all other aspects.

"My Lord, you have convinced me. I can't refuse your offer. If you allow our Roland Chamber of Commerce to sell all three items and promise me a 40% profit, then I, Anna Roland, can give you all the support you want."

Anna seriously spoke to Alan.

"Very good, Miss Anna. You will not regret today's decision."

Alan said happily.

Soon, the two of them signed a business contract. From now on, Alan and Anna had formed an alliance.

Although it was different from getting a certain amount of support from the Roland Chamber of Commerce as he had expected, Alan knew that his current status was still too low. It was already not bad to have Anna's support.

He could feel that this beautiful woman's status in the Roland Chamber of Commerce was not low.

Soon, Alan took Anna to visit his factory and handed over the first batch of goods that had been produced to her.

"Lord Baron, I hope that you can expand your factory by ten times or even a hundred times. Your current output is too low."

Before Anna left, she said a few words that caused Alan to become speechless.

"Of course, but you should know that I don't have much energy to expand the factory recently. I'll let someone handle this matter."

Alan nodded slightly. Of course, he would expand his factories.

"Then I will take my leave, Lord Baron. I hope that I can hear about your glorious deeds on the battlefield very soon, and I also hope that I will call you Lord Viscount when I meet you next time."

Anna smiled and directly left by the carriage after she finished speaking.
