"Let's not talk about money for now. In addition to selling, more importantly, I want to buy something else this time."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as it exists, there are very few things that I can't get, right?"
"That's it. Although Baicheng has settled down, I don't have much idea about the subsequent development.
The current problem lies in arranging jobs for city residents so that they have the means to be self-sufficient rather than just sitting there and living in vain.
So I want to ask you if there is any way for them to produce food."
"Is that a seed?"
"Is there any?"
"There is a kind of grass called [Herbivore]. It can be planted in the snow, and the yield is not low. It has extremely strong vitality and can grow more than half a meter high in one day."
"Can it be used as food?"
"Although it is nutritious, it is very bitter. If it were a human, it would be difficult to stomach. It is even worse than tree bark."
"What about...the livestock?"
"You are much smarter than I thought, my wise Lord Brave, yes, that's what I mean."
"How much does this cost?"
"One million gold."
"one……"
Bai Yi's pupils dilated instantly:
"This...is this too expensive..."
"It's worth the price, Lord Brave, you are a smart man, I believe you will understand."
“Are [herbivorous] seeds from other places so expensive?”
"Only I can sell this thing, Lord Brave. To be honest, as long as you are willing, you will be the first batch of lords to grow herbivorous food."
"Experiment?"
"The experiment has been successful."
"Is it... really as reliable as you say?"
"If the effect is not good, return it at any time."
"What if, I mean what if, if someone pulls out some of the growing grass and plants it in their own country, wouldn't I be taken advantage of?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Once the grass leaves the snow, it will lose its ability to survive. Even if it is planted back into the snow later, it will be just a dead grass and has no ability to reproduce."
Seeing that Bai Yi was still hesitating, the bird dealer said again:
“When you place an order now, the interest on the loan is only 30%, and a professional will accompany you throughout the process.
Not only that, we also gave away 200 chickens, ducks and geese, and built an [insulated breeding farm] for free.”
He is like an insurance salesman.
The smile on his face was filled with indescribable confidence.
But indeed, Bai Yi was already moved.
In the end, he nodded and signed another loan contract of 500,000 gold coins.
The repayment period is one year, with an interest of 150,000, totaling 650,000.
The content of the contract is the same as last time. If the debt is not paid, you will need to use the storage ring to pay off the debt.
——
"It is a pleasure to do business with you, my generous Mr. Brave Man. I will send someone to visit the factory poultry tomorrow morning. All you need to do is choose the land."
He said, putting the contract behind his back.
When he showed his hand again, the contract had disappeared, as if there was a space behind it similar to a storage world.
"The contract has been signed, can you give me the seeds first?"
"certainly."
As he spoke, as if he had expected it, he took out a black crystal as big as an eyeball from his pocket:
"Just bury him in the snow. When you look at it tomorrow morning, you will be surprised. By the way, don't plant it inside the city, otherwise the city wall will not be able to hold it up."
"Where are the instructors?"
"You can see it when you go back."
"All right……"
"Welcome to come again next time, my cheerful hero."
——
Just like last time, I sat on the backs of two huge crows when I went back.
Because the two big birds were very close to each other, Heimu could hear Bai Yi's words even in the air and knew the general situation.
Kuroki lay on the back of the big bird, looking at the sky and sighing:
"Sure enough, it's better to go up there..."
When I said this, I was thinking of the scene when I was pinched by Dole in the dragon's claws.
At this moment, Kuroki made up his mind that he would never suffer that kind of crime again.
——
Compared to Kuroki's leisurely mood, Bai Yi had more doubts in his heart.
Because he didn't see the "guidance" the bird dealer mentioned.
Strictly speaking, after leaving the manor, there are only two vehicles waiting for you.
This question was only solved after returning to Baicheng.
After he lifted Luya off the bird's back, the crow at Kuroki's feet flew away.
And the one in front of me turned into a little crow, jumped on my shoulder, and said:
"What to plant? Where to plant?"
Yes, this bird is the guide sent to him by the bird dealer.
——
Bai Yi found Old John immediately and told him about [Herbivorous Seeds].
After some discussion among several people, the planting site was chosen in a large open space behind Baicheng.
"How?" Bai Yi asked the crow on his shoulder.
"Bury it in the snow, bury it in the snow."
"How deep?"
"One meter, one meter."
Several people immediately followed the instructions, raised their shovels, dug a one-meter hole, and buried the seeds.
"Then what?" Bai Yi asked again.
"Wait, wait, just wait."
"Do you want to water it?"
"No, no need."
As he spoke, he flapped his wings and flew away, saying as he flew:
"Guide to completion, guidance to completion."
That's called a happy perfunctory.
"Then the birdman won't lie to us, right?" Kuroki couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"Let's talk tomorrow. If there's no response, go to him to return it."
——
The seed of 1 million gold coins is not a small amount.
Bai Yi was worried, so he simply set up a chair next to him and sat there.
He planned to keep watch until the next day, fearing that someone would dig him out accidentally.
Kuroki was worried that something might happen to Bai Yi alone, so he simply stayed here.
Old John returned to the city lord's palace to handle official duties and called a dozen soldiers to do security work.
——
At dusk in the afternoon, Old John personally brought food to everyone.
The moment the wooden basket was opened, the fragrant food immediately aroused their appetite.
Bai Yi took a taste and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Who did it?"
He knew very well what level the people in the City Lord's Mansion were, and they couldn't possibly make it so delicious.
Old John had already expected it, smiled and pointed behind him.
Looking over, it was the three girls from Yucun.
Sisters Ayu and Xue, and the little girl Abe.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yi was confused, because in her impression, Old John should have arranged a place for the three of them, and it seemed that he lived near the city lord's mansion.
"The city lord is like this. The three of them want to stay in the city lord's mansion. It happens that they are good at cooking and want to work in the kitchen, so let me ask you if you are willing."
"I don't have any objections, but this city lord's palace is full of men. If they can get used to it, I naturally have nothing to say.
You can ask them, and if possible, take them to arrange a room."
"clear."
With that said, he went to the three women and explained the situation.
The three girls were naturally extremely happy after hearing the result. They looked at Bai Yi excitedly and left with Old John.
