In the next month, Adrian was free again. After Ornn returned with a large amount of supplies and magic crystals, Adrian began to think about making tea. As for Ralph and Alice, they did not talk to Ornn.
Come back together. When Orn and the others set off from the Nibelungs, Traversi had not yet left the Nibelungs, so it was only a little later that Ralph and Alice came with the newly recruited people.
.
There are five tea trees in total, and they have all been moved into Luke's shell. Luke put some soil inside, and the huge and pure vitality allowed the five tea trees to grow in this space without direct sunlight.
It is gratifying, and after excluding the influence of climate, these tea trees have begun to bloom and bear tea seeds under Luke's intentional catalysis.
Adrian had learned in his previous life that there were two ways to propagate tea trees. They could be propagated by sowing seeds, or they could be propagated asexually through cuttings and layering. Adrian decided to try both. At the same time, after the first batch of tea seeds matured,
, Adrian took some and put it into the Cauldron of Creation.
At this point, in fact, these five tea trees are no longer important, but Adrian has not abandoned them. He plans to keep these five tea trees to help Vicki and Luke explore how to grow tea trees, which can be considered as making the best use of them.
.
We can't help but marvel at the magic of life in this world. After only one month, Vicki and Luke basically figured out what they need to pay attention to when planting tea trees. The five tea trees inside Luke's snail shell have even reversed.
Young shoots grew out seasonally. Adrian told Luke to collect as many new shoots as possible and tell him after he had accumulated 10 kilograms.
On this day, after Adrian had completed his magic accumulation and martial arts training, he was lying on the canopy of Rivendell to rest. Vicky came with Luke. Adrian's maid, there are more and more female scientists now.
She has changed out of her daily maid uniform, tied her hair into a ponytail, and put on a smart plain-colored slim-fitting robe. The sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her white forearms. She looked extremely
Capable.
There were no extra decorations on her body, only a thin silver thread hanging the Mithril Nautilus on her chest, and Luke was standing on her shoulders, talking to her in a low voice.
Adrian did not stand up, but raised his drooped eyelids, glanced at Vicki and Luke, then closed them slightly, and said:
"Is it lunch time? Vicky, what are you eating today?"
Vicki was a little helpless about her lord. Although he had not seen many high-ranking elves, his lord must be an oddity among the high-ranking elves. Vicky had never seen such a lack of attention to personal manners.
of great nobility.
Vicki said helplessly: "It's not lunch time yet. Lord, Luke is looking for you. The sprouts you want have been collected. According to your instructions, all the dust on the surface has been wiped off and dried.
The water vapor has been removed and preserved with a moderate concentration of vitality, so it is in good condition now and has not shrunk."
After hearing the news, Adrian turned around, walked up to Vicki in a few steps, and said excitedly:
"Is it enough for 10 kilograms? That's really good news. Give it to me quickly... No, don't give it to me. Luke continues to preserve it with a moderate concentration of life. Remember, you must keep these buds at their best.
state……"
Adrian was a little incoherent. It was really because these tea leaves were too important for the future development of the Solar Storm Territory. Although Adrian had an alternative plan to make a fortune if the tea leaves failed, it would obviously be a lot of trouble, and
Unlike tea, as long as Adrian promotes it properly, it is almost a unique business that can earn magic crystals while lying down.
Seeing Adrian so excited, Vicky asked with some confusion: "With all due respect, Master Adrian, I don't seem to have noticed the difference between these leaves. What important uses do they have?
Do you value it so much?"
Adrian thought for a while and felt that it was time to tell Vicky how important tea was to the territory. He organized his language a little and asked: "Vicky, how big do you think the market for coffee is?"
Vicky thought for a while and said: "Coffee is almost a necessity for all races in the Glencent Tower. At least each of us needs to drink a cup of coffee every day, so coffee should be considered one of the biggest businesses in the Glencent Tower market.
But with all due respect, Sir Adrian, although the coffee business is profitable, I have never heard of it making anyone rich."
A confident smile appeared on Adrian's face: "That's right. The market for coffee is indeed not limited to the Green Sea Dynasty. It is even one of the largest commodities in the entire Grensen Tower market, but it is also not
A hugely profitable business, do you know why?"
"I'm sorry, Master Adrian, I don't know much about business."
"The reason why coffee cannot become a big-money business is actually very simple. The coffee market is indeed too big, so this means that no one can completely monopolize the coffee market, not even the three supreme royal courts. Therefore, the coffee business
We are facing extremely fierce competition within the coffee market, so the profits we can earn from coffee are actually limited.”
"But I still don't understand what this has to do with these leaves, Master Adrian."
"What if I told you that these leaves, well, I decided to call it tea? What if I told you that tea is a beverage that rivals or even surpasses coffee? Think about it, if we had the tea business all to ourselves, and tea
If the coffee market can eventually reach 10% of the coffee market, how many magic crystals will it be?"
As Adrian spoke, he envisioned himself sleeping on piles of magic crystals in the future. Vicky could guarantee that at that moment, both she and Luke saw the bright golden light in Adrian's eyes.
But then Adrian never admitted it.
"But Master Adrian, coffee has been the main drink in Grensen Tower for more than 100,000 years, and according to historical documents, it has taken more than 100,000 years for coffee to develop from a local specialty to a major drink.
For ten thousand years, how can we compete for the market with such a drink that has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of almost all races?"
The confident smile on Adrian's face did not weaken at all because Vicki's words were almost enough to pour cold water on him: "Then you need to use certain methods, Vicki, I already have some ideas, but it's too early to say these now.
, the top priority is to process the tea, which is a bit complicated."
"Does the tea still need to be processed? Master Adrian."
"Of course it needs to be processed. Just like coffee also needs to go through many processes before it becomes a drink, the processing of tea is far more complicated than coffee. By the way, you go notify Orn and Baggins and ask them to come to the canopy after lunch.
See me, we still need their help in tea processing."
…
After lunch, Adrian couldn't wait to return to the canopy of Rivendell, and Ornn and Baggins had already arrived in advance. Unless it was a temporary summons, Ornn and Baggins would never let Adrian wait for them for a minute.
of.
"Good day, Lord." Ornn and Baggins saluted at the same time, stroking their chests. Ornn then asked: "I'm glad to be of service to you. What can we do? I heard from Lady Vicki that you seem to have something.
An incredible discovery.”
"It's not an incredible discovery. Mr. Aoun, I need you to do something other than the weapons officer's duties now."
"It is my honor to serve you. Lord, please feel free to give me your orders. Although I am not from Nibelungen, I am still your servant now, so please feel free to give me your orders."
Adrian nodded with satisfaction to Aoun and said: "Now I need you to make a special pot out of silver. It looks like a round silver plate, but the center should be slightly concave, um, like
Can it be done like a very shallow funnel, while also ensuring that all parts of the pot are heated evenly when heated?"
Aoun saluted: "I am happy to serve you, Lord, you will not be disappointed."
Using Aoun to make such a pot for frying tea leaves is actually a bit overkill for Adrian. You must know that Aoun has even been able to make high-quality weapons. To build such a pot that only requires uniform heat conduction is simply a waste for him.
Nothing could be easier.
Aoun didn't even use the forging table. He just took out enough silver and lit a golden sun fire in the air in front of him. Aoun kept pouring the silver into the sun's fire while purifying the silver.
of purity, while using mental power to shape the silver into a usable form.
While Aoun was making the silver pot easily and freely, Adrian called Baggins aside and began to teach Baggins the tea-making skills based on the memories of his previous life. For some details that he could not recall, he told Baggins how to make tea.
Experiment a few times.
Finally, Adrian thought about it, told Baggins how to drink green tea, and asked Luke to hand over all the collected young tea leaves to Baggins, and then left Raven temporarily with Vicki and Luke.
Dell's crown, and at the same time told Rivendell to be careful not to let others get close to the crown. Making tea does not require Adrian to do it himself, or even supervise him. He is the lord who owns the entire Solar Storm Territory. If he is allowed to do it himself
If so, Baggins and the others would probably die of shame.
"Where are we going, Master Adrian?" Vicky asked. During this period of time, Adrian was always wandering around with nothing to do. Even Vicky, as the head maid, didn't know where Adrian wanted to hang out today.
"Who is training my ocean scouts today?"
"It should be Ashe. When murlocs fight in the water, a scimitar is more suitable. Among all of us, only Ashe has done some research on scimitars, so during this period, Ashe was training the ocean scouts.
.”
"That's not interesting. Let's go back to my manor."
