Both of them looked at Linda, but they didn't dare to ask what was going on?
I'm worried that this is some kind of secret technique that Linda cannot disclose.
"How's it going? Is this coal lotus root okay?"
“That’s great!”
Mondeo gave a thumbs up and said: "This thing can even cover anthracite, it's almost the same as charcoal."
"It's still not as good as good charcoal." Linda smiled: "At least I like the taste of natural red maple."
Natural red maple is a tree planted by elves and is the cornerstone of the elven forest. However, in recent years, natural magicians have also begun to plant it on a large scale. Some of it is used to make magic wands, and the other part is made into charcoal. There is a faint smell when burning.
It has a natural fragrance and a calming and calming effect, so it is deeply loved by magicians.
"Yeah, I like it too."
Fox, who is also a magician, immediately agreed.
Mondeo became energetic now and asked eagerly: "Excuse me, sir, how much do you plan to sell this coal lotus root for?"
"Fire-kindling coal lotus roots are more expensive. As for ordinary coal lotus roots, the price should be compared with the price of anthracite coal of the same weight."
Linda had already conducted detailed research and demonstration, so she naturally said: "One hundred kilograms of high-quality anthracite can be sold for about seven calories and six pounds. If we make a little more, we can sell it for seven pounds, eight pounds, and one hundred pounds."
"How many coal lotus roots are there?" Fox asked immediately.
"A coal lotus root weighs about two and a half kilograms," Linda said with a smile.
"That's two promises and one coal lotus root!" Mondeo immediately figured it out.
Linda smiled and nodded.
"So cheap?" Fox, who is not engaged in business, was suddenly discouraged. Two nuo yuan a thing, how many nuo nuo it would take to save his family.
Fox's family is in debt of more than $100,000.
"You're wrong to say that, Fox." Mondeo held the tea cup, took a breath of intoxication, and then lectured: "One is only two promises, what if there are one million?"
Fox's eyes widened suddenly, as if he understood something.
One million coal lotus roots is equivalent to two million cents, which is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in American dollars. This is definitely a big business, and it can last for a long time.
"Sir Linda, how long can a coal like this burn?" Mondeo immediately changed his title to "sir."
The firewood mainly used by ordinary people is a kind of wood that can grow quickly under the cultivation of magic, called magic eucalyptus. It has a short growth cycle and good burning efficiency. The only certainty is that the burning smell is very bad.
The price of a bundle is between fifteen and sixteen cents, and for a family of four or five, it is only enough for one or two days. If it is winter, it is normal to use two or three bundles a day.
"The name of this thing is briquettes. It was invented by Gwennavel, the eldest princess of the Merlocks Empire. As long as it is controlled properly, it will cost about two or three pieces."
Linda's answer made Mondeo and Fox's eyes shine.
Better and cheaper than magic eucalyptus.
This business is taking off.
Linda handed over the technology of making briquettes to the two of them, and then sent them away. As long as they were not stupid, they would not betray her, or wait until the gas was mass-produced to produce gas tanks.
As the whole nation enters the gas age, there are many ways to kill them.
………………
The huge square outside Chester's Holy Mass Church has turned into a huge relief station.
After perfect adjustments in the first few days, Helen and the stewards sent by the church divided the relief station into two areas for men and women, and another area for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and each area was surrounded by wooden fences.
Because it is the church and the Raytheon Group that take the lead in distributing food to people who lack food and cannot survive.
Divided into three areas, there are thirty-six food distribution points, and relief food distribution begins at 5 a.m.
Although there are more than hundreds of thousands of people entering and leaving the relief station every day, the scene is orderly and there is almost no fighting or shoving. This is surprising to the city hall officials and police who have been worried about riots all day long.
For this largest relief station, the police station dispatched thousands of police officers to maintain order, including two of the four chiefs.
Aslan arranged a soul identification magic in front of each relief ration. As long as you stand on the platform to receive relief rations, if the green light lights up, you can receive the relief rations. If the red light lights up, it proves that you have received it. You need to wait.
You can pick it up again after two days.
The relief food distributed each time is enough for three people for two days.
Thirty-six work stations are all equipped with gates. Each station only lets in 200 people at a time, and only 7,200 people at a time. It is very easy to manage. It only takes a few seconds for one person to receive food.
It eased the chaotic mood of the team.
Helen also asked people to set up tents outside the relief station to protect the waiting people from snow and wind. The church also provided medicine and treatment to the sick. The people were not impatient and were treated like adults, so naturally they would not give any money to the relief station.
If you cause trouble, you will actively scold the troublemaker.
Therefore, in the week since the relief station began, hundreds of thousands of people have entered and exited the relief station every day, but not a single person has starved to death in the relief station.
The police station cleans up bodies less and less every day, and security and order in Chester are slowly restored.
The Mafia also began to vigorously attack underground forces, gradually tending to unify the entire Chester underground gang, and Brooke also took the title of the Underground King of Chester.
Helen, who was in charge of the relief station, gradually spread among the upper class in Chester and became a guest of many MPs.
After a week of nourishing food, many young people slowly regained their strength. At dawn, the first group of people to enter the church came with their families and lined up outside the Holy Mass Church to receive life-sustaining food.
The time has not yet come, the relief station is still arranging supplies, and the gate outside the square is naturally closed.
While waiting boredly, people were attracted by the notices posted everywhere on the fence.
"What did the notice say?" Many illiterate people asked curiously.
"Recruitment Notice - The Railway Bureau of the Raytheon Group is now looking for two thousand young and mature workers. The daily salary is five cents, and two breakfast and lunch meals are provided, including meat and vegetables, black bread tubes, and two extra meals when you go home.
For food rations, if you are interested, please consult the staff at the relief station.”
Chester's literacy rate is generally relatively high. As the other party spoke out the notice, many lower-level workers expressed their exclamations.
"Wow, that sounds good!"
"Five cents a day, three cards and five cents at the end of the week, and enough food for two people to take home."
"Mom, I want to eat meat..."
The people started talking about it one after another.
More than 70% of the workers in Chester are now unemployed, and those who can still go to work have wages that are not even one-third of what they were before the war, but there are still people who are struggling to go to work.
