(There will be more at night!)
After the few of them entered the room and sat down, Laura turned to green and said, ” &Quot; the quality of Sir’s oil is really out of my expectation. I hope that you can give me all your oil in the future. Is that possible? ”
Green smiled. &Quot; of course you can. We’ve agreed on this in advance. Don’t worry, Miss Laura. In the future, we’ll hand over all the fruit Oil we produce to you. &Quot;
&Quot; that’s good, ” Lola nodded. &Quot; please thank Mr. Zhao Hai for me when you return. &Quot;
&Quot; you’re too kind, Miss Laura, ” grine said with a smile. &Quot; I’ve come here today to tell you something. It’s a business deal. &Quot;
“Please speak, Sir,” said Laura, stunned.
&Quot; my master has received news that there has been an insect disaster in the ika Plains recently. All the wheat in the ika Plains might go out of production this year. I wonder if it’s true? ” gring smiled. After saying that, he stared at Laura with sparkling eyes.
Laura was stunned. She didn’t expect Zhao Hai to know about this. However, she still nodded, ” &Quot; it’s true. We’ve also received news that the insect disaster in ika Plains this time is very serious. It’s a kind of insect that has never been seen before, and its reproductive ability is very strong. This year, ika Plains might really go out of production. &Quot;
Hearing Laura’s words, Gerlin heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why he had asked her that question was to see how she would answer. Seeing that she had told him everything without holding back, he was relieved and continued, ” “Does that mean the price of food in Kass city will rise?”
Lola smiled bitterly and said, ” &Quot; that’s right. I won’t hide it from you, Sir. When I received the news, I wanted to hoard some grain to stabilize the grain price in Casar city. However, other trading companies acted faster than us and started to buy grain at high prices in advance. I’m afraid that the grain price in Casar city will rise soon. I’m also worried about this. If we follow the price increase, we can indeed make a lot of money. However, if that happens, many people in Casar city will not be able to eat. But if we don’t raise the price, we won’t have any food to sell.”
Then, she looked at Clint curiously and said, ” “Why are you asking this, Sir? “Could it be ...” Thinking up to this point, Laura couldn’t help but get excited. She stood up with a whoosh and looked at Grimm with her eyes shining.”Mr. Zhao Hai, do you have food?” Kun was also staring at Grimm.
“That’s right, Sir, you have food in your hands.” Then, he clapped his hands, and an undead creature walked in with two bags in his hands.
Grimm picked up the two bags and opened them, revealing the cornmeal and wheat flour inside. He then said to Laura, ” &Quot; Ms. Laura, these are the grains that we have in our hands. They’re grains that have never been seen on the continent. This is corn, and this is cornmeal. Corn can be boiled into rice with water, and cornmeal can be made into pancakes. Here are the recipes that Sir wrote down. &Quot; After saying that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Laura.
Laura and kun were staring at the corn stubble and cornmeal in the bag in a daze. They wondered why Zhao Hai could always take out things that they had never seen before.
However, Laura immediately came back to her senses. She took the piece of paper from Grimm and carefully read it. The method of making cornmeal was very simple, but relatively speaking, it was more difficult than making bamboo rice. As for cornmeal, it was even simpler. Laura immediately understood how to eat these two things.
Laura put down the paper in her hand and turned to Grimm, ” “May I ask how much of this grain do you have?”
Grimm stretched out two fingers. &Quot; nearly two million pounds. But it hasn’t been processed yet. The processed ones are hundreds of thousands of pounds. &Quot;
Laura walked in circles on the ground and muttered, ” “The heavens are helping me, the heavens are helping me.”
Kun was even calmer than Laura. He turned to green and said, ” “What’s the price of this food?” Hearing kun’s question, Laura stopped and turned to look at green. She was also afraid that the price of the food was too high. If the price was high, it would not be able to alleviate the food crisis at all.
Clint smiled and said, ” Sir said that he doesn’t want to see the people of Kass city suffer, and he doesn’t want to see people starve to death. This kind of grain doesn’t taste very good, so Sir plans to sell it at the price of bamboo rice. Of course, the selling price is the price you sell it at. If we buy it to you, we will be even cheaper. &Quot;
After hearing Green’s words, Lola bowed to green, then straightened her body and said seriously, ” &Quot; on behalf of all the citizens, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao Hai. Please turn to Mr. Zhao Hai. This time, the red spider lily shop is willing to sell on your behalf without making any money. This is to thank you for your righteousness. &Quot;
Grimm laughed bitterly in his heart. If Laura knew that this insect disaster was caused by them, he wondered if she would pick up her Knight’s spear and stab him.
Clint waved his hand. &Quot; Miss Laura, you’re too polite. These two million pounds of corn is only the first batch of food. After we’ve bought all the corn, we can provide 350000 pounds of bamboo rice to you every day until the food crisis is resolved. &Quot;
Laura and kun Zheng were dumbfounded. They did not expect Zhao Hai to be so generous. 350000 catties a day. It was not just 35 catties that he could take out just like that. It was 350000 catties. 350000 catties a day was enough to help the Versailles Duchy tide over the food crisis.
Lola looked at Grimm in a daze and said,”Sir, you’re not joking, are you?” You mean 350000 Jin a day?”
“That’s right, it’s 350000 catties a day until the food crisis is resolved.”
Laura turned around and said, ” this matter is of great importance. I had an agreement with the Versailles family. If I can find the source of food, I will tell them and help them get through this crisis. With Sir’s help, I believe that we can get through this crisis. However, I can’t be greedy for Sir’s credit, so it’s best to explain this matter to the Versailles family. &Quot;
Clint shook his head. &Quot; Miss Laura, it’s best if you don’t tell the Versailles family about this. If you have to, don’t bring the Versailles family to Rocky Mountain. Sir doesn’t like to interact with outsiders, especially the Versailles family. &Quot;
Lola did not think too much about it. She knew that the Versailles family had formed an alliance with others to deal with Zhao Hai. To be honest, she was already surprised that Zhao Hai was willing to help the Versailles family. It was understandable that Zhao Hai did not like to interact with the Versailles family.
Lola nodded and said, ” okay, don’t worry, Sir. I won’t let the Versailles family disturb you. However, I will tell the Versailles family about this so that they won’t find trouble with you in the future. Although you’re not afraid of them, it’s quite annoying to be disturbed all the time. &Quot;
Gerlyn nodded. &Quot; that’s good. However, I still need Miss Laura’s help to prepare more bags for us to store food. You also know that we don’t have anything there right now. I hope Miss Laura can help us in this aspect. &Quot;
Lola nodded. &Quot; that’s for sure. I have a lot of such bags in my warehouse. I’ll get someone to load them up immediately. &Quot;
&Quot; then we won’t disturb you any further, Miss Laura, ” said Clint as he stood up. &Quot; don’t worry, Miss Laura. You can come to our place to get your food in three days. &Quot;
Lola nodded, stood up, and said, ” &Quot; then I won’t keep you. Now that a storm is coming in Casa City, I really can’t leave. When things are settled, I will definitely go to your place and thank you in person. &Quot;
Gerlyn smiled. &Quot; &Quot; Sir, although you are a Black Mage, you do not wish to see ordinary people suffer. To be honest, this food crisis will not have much of an impact on the nobles and the rich. We also know that a country like the Duchy of Versailles has food reserves. However, with the push of those big merchants, the rise in food prices is inevitable. In this case, the lives of the ordinary people who already have difficulties will be even more difficult. I don’t know how many people will end up as slaves. This time, Sir has used almost all of the land in his hands to grow bamboo rice, just so that the civilians can get through this difficult time.”
Lola sighed and said, ” that’s right. The lives of the civilians are already difficult. When they encounter such a situation, it will be even more difficult. The other trading companies only want to make money. They don’t care about the lives of the civilians at all. &Quot;
Green looked at Laura and said, ” Miss Laura, if there are really civilians here in Kass city who are willing to sell themselves as slaves, please pay attention to them. If you find any skilled craftsmen, no matter what kind of craftsmen they are, as long as they want to sell themselves as slaves, you must make them stay. Right now, Sir is in urgent need of such craftsmen. &Quot;
Laura didn’t expect that green would have such a request. She quickly nodded and said, ” “Okay, that’s not a problem. I’ll keep an eye out for Sir.” While they were talking, they had come out of the house. Outside, the employees of the red spider lily shop were loading bags into Green’s car.
After a short while, the bag was packed. Green turned to Laura and said, ” &Quot; Miss Laura, I’ll take my leave now. You can send someone to collect the food in three days. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he bowed to kun and Laura before leaving with the carriages.
Looking at Green’s back, Laura could not help but let out a long sigh. She turned to kun Zheng and said, ” &Quot; I didn’t expect Mr. Zhao Hai to be so capable. He’s able to take out so much food at once. This will solve our urgent problem. &Quot;
Kun Zheng nodded and said, ” “From the looks of it, Mr. Zhao Hai might have some secret technique that can accelerate the growth of plants like the elves. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to produce so much food. Laura, remember, you can’t let anyone know about this. If anyone finds out that Mr. Zhao Hai has such a secret technique, he’ll be in danger. Although Mr. Zhao’s followers are all at the 8th rank, they aren’t invincible. There are still rank 9s in the world. This sort of method is more than enough for the great clans to invite experts of the ninth rank to help out.”
