Chapter 51
The skill can make sugar from beets, which means that sugar can also be made from beets in reality, but the complexity of the production is different.
Robb carefully recalled the picture of the “beet” prop in the game, picked up a branch, and drew it on the ground: “Let’s take a look, do you know this crop?”
Pubolo spread his hands regretfully: “Sorry, I don’t know how to distinguish crops.”
The itinerant merchants were also confused, as if they had never seen them before.
Not to mention the three adventurers, how could they understand crops.
Instead, Lillian jumped over from the side and said with a smile: “Master, I recognize this plant. Its name is J Cai, people in our village also call it beetroot, and there are also People call it a beet.”
Robb was overjoyed: “haha, or my Lillian is the smartest and most useful, where can I get this?”
Lillian said: “In my In my hometown, source stone canyon, some people grow this thing in small amounts. Throw it into a large pot and boil it, and you can cook a sweet soup.”
“Very good!” Robb happily said : “Lillian, go get the white cloth, I’m going to release a new task, whoever can go to the source stone canyon and bring me a bag of beet seeds, I’ll pay him five gold coins.”
“Five gold coins?” Even the high-end businessman Popolo couldn’t help sweating: “Mr. Robert, you bought a bag of crop seeds and offered a slave price? How do I think you Make all the garbage look high-end?”
“Is there a problem?” Robb spread his hands and said: “The task is to pay more, so that everyone can do it happily, I am most annoying those who pay less , it’s a long way to go, and it’s a very troublesome task to do. It’s just inhuman, but Virgo has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and no matter how cheap the task is, it must be done. .”
The more he spoke, the more indignant he became. He spread out his hands, palms to the sky, five fingers spread, and made a complaint: “Don’t publish that kind of low-paying task. It looks disgusting, but I can’t do it, I really want to hack those designers to death.”
A group of people next to him couldn’t understand what he was talking about, only that the priest seemed to have been tricked by someone. Yes, look very angry.
Golda blocked Lillian with a smile, preventing her from taking the white cloth to write the task: “Mr. Robert, don’t bother other people with this task, there are three experienced adventurers here. Let’s go to the source stone canyon and we’ll help you get the beet seeds back as quickly as possible.”
“Oh, would you like to go? That would be the best.”
It was decided after everyone’s negotiation. The three adventurers packed their bags, said goodbye to Robert, and set off towards the source stone canyon in the northwest. Westwind Town is not far from the source stone canyon. It takes a few days to walk along the official road. Although there are occasionally monsters on the official road, it will not be a powerful monster. With the abilities of the three of them, come back with some beet seeds. Should be no problem.
Propo also said goodbye to Robb: “I’ll go around a few villages nearby, buy you some servants, and then go to Bright Road and Saint City, and sell you this time. My equipment.”
And of course the itinerant merchant, who gave Robb a big gift with a smile: “Thanks to Mr. Robert, I made a lot of money from the peppers last time, transporting peppers from you to Selling it in a big city is much more convenient than shipping it back in the far east, and this time the fat house happy water should also make a lot of money.”
Robb said goodbye to them one after another with a smile, Especially the two businessmen: “Go on and make money.”
Just after sending them away, the square-faced mayor came again. As soon as he saw Robb, he said with a smile: “Father, The poor people in our village who are unable to build water towers recently joined forces to propose a plan, saying that each household should pay a little money, and gather everyone’s strength to build a huge water tower in the middle of the village to supply water to all the residents in the town. , I’m here to ask for your opinion, do you want to join?”
PS: It’s obviously a standard update rhythm of two updates a day, and the results are added and added, this is actually true! Am I a hard worker?
Chapter 74 The West Wind Waterworks
The mayor’s proposal, Robb’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help laughing: “Oh, the townspeople are quite smart. The technology of tap water Not long after I passed it on to you, they came up with this plan.”
The mayor said with a smile: “This is all thanks to the priest, you taught the townspeople this Move, everyone will think of this method.”
Robb said with a smile: “The plan of concentrating on building a large water tower is of course possible, and it is better than building a water tower for each household alone. A better solution. However, as the mayor, you must also guard against the problem of one monk carrying water, two monks carrying water, and three monks having no water to drink.”
The mayor I couldn’t understand: “Ah? What monks don’t have water to drink?”
Robb had to put it simply: “That is, sometimes the collective strength is not as strong as the strength of one person, because everyone wants to be lazy. At this time, a special group must be set up and paid to maintain the huge water tower and the water supply of the whole town.”
The mayor suddenly realized: “Yes, yes, There is indeed such a problem.”
Robb said with a smile: “And who will pay for this group? Which one uses more water and which one uses less water? How much should I pay? I still don’t know.”
The mayor: “…”
Robb knows that it is impossible to make a water meter in this era. It is impossible to go up to the magic, so the plan mentioned by the mayor can never be completed by raising funds, and in the end, it is bound to be a joke.
He reached out and tapped on the stone table lightly, saying with a smile: “That’s it, I will pay for the construction cost of the giant water tower by myself, and the person who manages this water tower will pay for it by myself. People, I also pay for them. And the residents who use the tap water provided by the huge water tower, just pay me the corresponding remuneration every month. Those who use more water should pay more, and those who use less water should pay less. As for who Whoever uses more and who uses less, let them report the number themselves, anyway, God of Light is watching them in the sky, I see if they dare to fool God of Light.”
The mayor heard this, My heart moved slightly, and I suddenly realized that Father Robert’s move is a bit like doing a business. If this business is done well, it might be quite profitable.
Robb said with a smile: “Mr. Mayor, I see your expression, you seem to be very interested?”
The mayor chuckled: “There is indeed a little interest. “
“Then I won’t take the lead in doing this, you can do it.” Robb said with a smile: “I’m too lazy to do such a troublesome thing.”
The mayor is overjoyed, Father Robert taught me a profitable business, hahaha, very good, go back and ask workers to build a giant water tower, and let the servants at home manage the water tower in the future, so that every Yue collected money from the townspeople.
The mayor is gone, and he is leaving with a dream of making a fortune.
Robb is very interesting to see his back. It is estimated that it will not be long before the “West Wind Water Works” will be launched. However, there is no water meter in this era, mayor brother, you are going to lose money in this business. There will always be some townspeople who like to be petty and cheap. If you use a ton of water, they will tell you that you only use one bucket, and you have no money. Can’t bring out God of Light like I did to fool them into lying.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with Robb whether the mayor loses money or not.
He retracted his reverie and his eyes, and saw Lillian wearing white silk standing on the field next to him, his long and straight legs pulled by the stockings blinding Robb’s eyes, but she looked at him. The well-turned field is frowning cutely.
Robb waved at Lillian: “Lillian, what are you doing there frowning?”
Lillian said: “It’s already August, I think it’s almost It’s time to plant autumn potatoes, but… but the sock the owner gave me is white, so it’s not convenient to work in the fields…”
Robb said with a smile: “Then don’t work. Just so I need this field to be empty, and when the adventurer trio brings the beets back, we’re going to use this field to grow beets. You’re planting a bunch of potatoes now, and you’ll have to dig when I want to grow beets Come out.”
“But I always feel lazy if I don’t do something.” Lillian thought for a while: “Okay, then I’ll weave some spider silk cloth. Mr. dwarf businessman. I said that I would buy a lot of these stockings next time I came, but we simply haven’t made a few of them.”
Robb has four human pasta spiders at home, and the speed of spitting spider webs is actually quite fast. , as long as they eat enough, they can keep producing spider silk in their stomachs, but there is only one maid in Robb’s family, Lillian, who is responsible for both weaving and sewing the cloth into stockings. It’s really hard to do this.
Therefore, the first batch of stockings was produced very little, only eight pairs, all of which have been bought by the itinerant merchants just now.
Seeing eight gold coins with golden light shining, Lillian felt that he should work harder and make more socks to sell for money and subsidize his family.
Robb said with a smile: “How many pairs of stockings can you make by yourself? As far as I know, there are too many spider silks, right? You can’t weave them at all.”
Lillian said embarrassingly, “Yes, it’s because I’m not capable enough. If the master doesn’t give me that thing called ‘pulling float’, my weaving speed will never keep up with the speed of spiders spinning silk.”
“It’s a buff, not a float!” Robb said: “I’m also impossible to give you a buff every time I see you weaving. For some things, you have to rely on your hands, not magic all the time. Come on, stop messing around, go to town and ask the women who are idle at home if they are interested in helping me weave cloth and sew silk stockings, and I will pay them the wages. You are responsible for instructing them how to Just make stockings! When Probo buys a new maid for our family, we don’t need to ask someone from outside to do it.”
Lillian led the way, and it didn’t take long for him to bring it back. four women.
These women knew Robb, and Robb knew them, and they had all come to confess to him.
They greeted Robb with a salute, and followed Lillian into the spider’s room, where they worked.
This time, the speed of weaving has greatly increased. It is no longer that Lillian can’t keep up with the speed of spider spinning, but that the speed of spider spinning can’t keep up with the speed of women weaving.
Robb estimates that the productivity of this kind of stockings should be the limit in this place. After all, the silk spun by the four spiders is limited and can only be supplied in small batches in the future.
didn’t expect that that night, one of the human pasta man-eating spiders actually laid eggs, and, if not, there will be hundreds of eggs in a lifetime, and the spiders are densely packed in the spider room spider egg, scared the women who came to work on the second day screamed.
Chapter 75 The Stockings Manufacturing Industry
Robb stood at the door of the spider’s room, looked inside, and saw four large spiders still locked on the iron pillars, in one of the spiders. Around the big spider, there are countless spider eggs densely packed, and these spider eggs are also covered with spider silk, which is very well protected.
The belly of the large spider that laid the eggs has shrunk a lot, and it seems to be wilting a lot.
