Chapter 104
One month later, the signal coverage of the main island of Dragon Island has been completed. Xiao, Gu and the commander-in-chief reported the incident of Agarvey, and then attracted the attention of the royal family through Panabo. Now the script on the capital side has also been greatly changed. In addition, from top to bottom, the work of combating and preventing hallucinogenic poisons from pretending to be love potions has been designated as a key point.
Arokaxia's Huapai daily necessities factory is developing steadily and flourishing day by day. Kaxiu, who quit the show business circle, has a decent start in business and can take charge of his own. He is sent by Zhan Wensong to Agarve to help Xiao En and the others.
The elf family is a natural living sign. When he stops in the store, he can sell all kinds of soaps and cosmetics. Moreover, as the No.1 protagonist of "Prank Fairy", Kaxiu's name comes with traffic, even if he can't see it. The ladies who buy cheap goods will come to buy them in person.
Dean Li, who was far away in Robilla, sent the recipes for fudge, jelly, biscuits, and popsicles. Sean and the others followed the recipes. Can introduce new tricks and keep freshness all the time.
The milk tea business is hopeless at present, and the drinks are still tailored to local conditions, mainly fruit juice and iced cocoa.The climate of Long Island is hot and humid, there are no large-scale pastures, the supply of milk is scattered, and transportation and storage are not easy. It is not impossible to make fresh fruit milk, honey milk, etc., but the cost is too high.
The tea leaves are also missing. Although there are sporadic wild tea trees growing in the deep mountains and old forests, the aborigines in the Pislan continent do not have the habit of drinking tea, and no one will pick the ordinary leaves that do not contain magical energy to figure out how to eat them.
The tea tree cycle is long, and it enters the tea production period after ten years of growth. From the selection and breeding of saplings, large-scale planting, to maintenance and harvesting, finishing and rolling, fermentation and drying, and finally guiding the market and cultivating hobbies... This process takes at least ten years , It is too difficult to create a business of green tea, black tea and milk tea out of nothing.
Originally, the purpose of the action team’s crossing of Pislan was not to develop food culture. Sean made a decision and kicked the tea out of the expected plan: “We can still look forward to dairy products. President Li’s milk powder factory is already in Robbie’s factory. Leah has opened it, and when the time comes, I will import milk powder from the Grand Duchy to make ice cream and the like."
"Okay, let Kaxiu worry about importing." Wearing an apron, Gu Qinghe turned the hand-operated shaving ice machine with a bang.
He made three bowls of smoothies, topped them with syrup and sprinkled some crushed nuts, and sat side by side with Professor Yi at the bar to eat ice to relieve the heat.
The customers who come to the juice shop are mainly couples, and there are loving dogs who put two straws into a cup together, or you and I feed each other cakes, while single dogs are either sitting at the bar with their backs to them, out of sight. Clean, or buy drinks in coconut shell cups to take away, as if staying for a second longer will be poisoned by inhaling the pink air of this store.
Professor Yi sprinkled himself a handful of cocoa powder to neutralize the sweetness of the syrup, and said to the two of them while eating: "Go and eat at the seats facing each other, don't worry about me, I won't be shown affection at my age People hurt."
That being said, it is unbelievable for a person who has devoted his whole life to the cause of science, separated from his family for so long, and lived alone and struggling in a different world. If he really left him to fall in love, he must have a smile on his face , turn your back and go blah blah.
Sean, Gu Qinghe: "...the bar is pretty good, we like the bar." The two have been married for more than a year, and they have already skipped the Tiantianxiu stage, and have never done anything shameless behind closed doors Ah, just eat ice and don't bother the old professor.
They stayed in Agarve for more than a month, and the scattered teammates in other parts of Dragon Island have not received any updated information for some days. It is time to set off for the last destination - the United Free Cities of Sous.
It was the place Sean was most familiar with, and spent most of his time in South after traveling in his previous life.
Sousse was also a powerful kingdom in the past, with an area as large as the two duchies of Sail Xien and Salmen combined.The descendants of the old king were completely desolate after the disintegration of the country, leaving only the city of Planting. Although the palace and the crown are still there, they are essentially the city lords.
The great aristocrats owned cities of varying numbers and sizes, and they governed independently. The minor aristocrats either joined forces or attached themselves to each other. In most areas, a city was a country, so they were called city-states.There are dozens of powerful aristocratic forces, and countless small city-states that are not listed. They seem to be independent and friendly to each other, but in fact, under the appearance of prosperity and peace, there are still waters, deep currents and undercurrents. Periods are more complicated.
Soth's so-called freedom is just a political concept of the upper class. People's livelihood and economy have nothing to do with freedom. One city has one rule, one Hong Kong has one tax rate, and it is up to the city owner to decide. No matter how scarce and popular commodities are, do not compete with local forces. Good relationship, I am afraid it will not be too easy to start a business.
Professor Yi has long wanted to travel across the sea to South to find Professor Yin, but he has not been able to make it. One is because he is immersed in technology and thinks he is not a talented person with long sleeves; the other is because of the familiar dwarf caravan He is used to activities in coastal city-states, and Professor Yin has heard that Shahir is an inland city-state, and there is still a distance from the nearest river port. It is not clear what the situation there is or what the rules are.
"I don't dare to go deep into unfamiliar city-states by myself, and I don't dare to partner with unfamiliar caravans, so I only entrust others to inquire about detailed information, and so far there has been no confirmation." Professor Yi said.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and professors are not a rescue operation team with a mission. It is not a rational behavior to take risks because of an unclear rumor. Gu Qinghe agreed: "You are right, the next thing is left to us." good."
Professor Yi didn't want to be separated from the action team: "I also want to go with you..."
"It's inevitable to go back and forth, and the conditions on the ship are not good." Sean suggested tactfully, "Commander Zhan will bring someone over in two days to escort you to Arokaxia. Director Zhao is there now."
Whether to hold back the comrades in the action team, to find an old enemy who hates each other, or to get together with the cute Director Zhao... Professor Yi said without hesitation: "Then I will go to Arokaxia, Professor Yin I will leave the matter to you, comrades have worked hard!"
Xiao and Gu laughed and said, "Serve the people!"
In the past two days, they rented a general cargo ship from the local Chamber of Commerce in Agarve, hired five crew members including the captain, and delivered the prepared chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets, sunscreen, soap, jelly powder and other goods Move into the cabin.
General cargo ships can carry miscellaneous goods in packages, boxes, and bundles, and the tonnage varies. They want to go deep into the inland river port of Sousse, and their main purpose is not to sell goods. They use small cargo ships with a displacement of about [-] tons. , The deck is double-layered, with upper and lower cabins, which can prevent delicate goods such as glassware from being stacked too high and crush the bottom layer, and the upper layer can still live.
There is a cargo hatch on the deck of the cargo hold, and a cargo boom that can lift, load and unload cargo is equipped.If it is wine barrels, oil barrels and other goods, loading and unloading is more convenient, and they can be pushed up or rolled down along the springboard leaning on the shore.
The local chamber of commerce also has another type of ocean-going bulk ship. This kind of large ship generally transports raw materials such as ore and grain, and the load can reach thousands of tons.
At present, the "technology" of the Pislan continent is similar to the early stage of the first industrial revolution on the earth. Machinery that uses magic ore as energy is widely used, but the production has not yet broken away from manual labor and entered a comprehensive mechanization. It must be the assembly line designed by the professors. Popularization will speed up this process.
The cargo ships here are equipped with magic cannons on both sides of the ship. The hull has already used steel structures, but there is no steam engine power yet. It mainly relies on wind and ocean currents. It is also equipped with sculls and paddle wheels with blades at the tail. When necessary, manpower can be used for emergency response.
Two days later, Zhan Wensong brought his teammates to Agarve. He also pulled up two real banners—one representing the royal caravan, and he could almost do whatever he wanted within the scope of the Dragon Island Kingdom, walking on the mainland It can also make people sell face; there is also a flag and related documents representing the Salmon Chamber of Commerce. In the city-state that has a friendly relationship with Salmon, you can stop the ship and do business tax-free, and you can use their chamber of commerce to inquire about some news.
Xiao En joked: "The head of the group really didn't recognize Professor Park as an old man in vain."
Zhan Wensong rarely blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, Professor Park is so successful that he never forgets his fellow villagers and supports our action team's search and rescue activities. I don't have a serious name yet."
After arranging the escort of Professor Yi and the people who will continue to gather information on Long Island, Zhan Wensong, Zheng Shuang, Shi Liuming, Hamburger, Egg Tart, Xiao En and Gu Qinghe, a total of seven people went to South.
Early this morning, when they were waiting to set sail, they found that the port was more noisy than usual. Looking carefully, the extra people on the shore were all slim girls with elegant clothes.
If Zhan Wensong has someone he cares about, he will not flirt with women anymore, not to mention that this is Pislan, the two worlds are separated by a dimensional wall, wouldn't it be irresponsible to flirt randomly.
He felt good about himself, stood on the deck and waved goodbye to the girls: "Don't give them away, everyone, find a good man to marry in the future!"
The girls seeing off: "..." They all glanced at Zhan Wensong with crazy eyes. The embarrassing scene lasted for a while, and the waiting lord appeared.
Kaxiu, who was dressed up beautifully, waved goodbye to the girls: "Don't give them away, everyone, find a good man to marry in the future!" After saying that, he boarded the boat with his luggage and money.
The star-chasers waved their handkerchiefs to bid farewell, with expressions of reluctance, and some even cried bitterly.
Zhan Wensong: "..."
"Wait, what are you doing here?" Zhan Wensong asked.
"Aren't you asking the question knowingly?" Kaxiu said, "I said I would hang out with you. The head of the group doesn't have a good memory, so you forgot it so quickly?"
Zhan asked Songxin and said Gungun Gun who is your team leader, but he did promise such a thing, so it's hard to refute it for a while. "Didn't you change your job to start a business? Stay in Longdao steadfastly. Do you still want to follow us around the world?"
"I was born as a wandering artist, and my ambition is to pursue poetry and distant places." Kaxiu put one hand on his forehead to block the sun, and looked up at the rising sail at a 45-degree angle, "I asked Zhao, and she said that following you can find physics. Scientists, learned the principles of tape recorders and video recorders."
Director Zhao treated this elf as well as his nephew, pampering and pampering him in every way, Zhan Wensong said sullenly, "...All right."
Kaxiu smiled brightly, and said in a well-spoken Chinese: "Thank you, I love you all, okay!"
Since then, this versatile elf has joined the luxury package of the operation group South Squad.He is a bard, a drama star, a daily chemical manufacturing industrialist, and the spokesperson of the "Love at First Sight" juice chain store. In the future, he is expected to become a rising star in the field of physics in the Pislan continent—of course, the ultimate goal is to develop the entertainment industry. , to be the kind of big boss who wants to be popular, whoever wants to be popular, and whoever wants to support whomever.
This is probably the benefit of living longer.
Everyone: "..." I don't know how many messy things Director Zhao taught him. He opened his mouth to flirt with fan circles, and kept his mouth shut to force love. Just like this, he still wants to learn physics well?
The general cargo ship sets sail.
The captain is an experienced middle-aged seaman. The sea route from Agarvey to Soss has few strong winds and waves, and he can walk with his eyes closed, but there is no guarantee that the journey will be safe.He couldn't see the strength of the human dressed as a mercenary, but with the addition of Kaxiu, the great magician of the wind system, the captain really put his heart in his stomach-this wave of business has stabilized.
Stable in every sense.
A few days later, their general cargo ship entered the river channel of Sousse. There was no absolute headwind on the river. As long as the wind direction was a little bit off, they could rely on the captain's experience to control the sails and paddle wheels, and follow the human curve to go upstream.However, with the help of Kaxiu, the driving all the way is smooth, saving time and effort until flying.
This is inconceivable to ordinary people. People who have the strength of a great magician and are capable of calling the wind and rain within a certain range are somewhat arrogant and arrogant, and they will not make a move easily.It's also because this maverick elf has a good personality, he doesn't have the pretensions of an archmage, and he can get along with anyone.
The general cargo ship that was able to run against the current with the wind envied others, and after another three days, they docked at the destination river port wharf.
