Chapter 46

One night, when the winter in Dore City stopped snowing, spring came quietly.

It seemed that the snow on the roof melted overnight, the bare branches of the trees sprouted new buds, and two or three green spots emerged from the brown soil. When Jiang Li came to his senses, Dore City had changed its appearance.

The weather began to get warmer, and the air conditioner in the supermarket was turned off, no longer providing heat. The residents of Dore City sighed briefly, and soon they plunged into the busy planting.

Before the arrival of spring, Augustus led his soldiers to clear a large open space outside the city. When the snow melted, the dark brown soil underneath was exposed. Jiang Li helped them buy a large number of seeds on Earth, all kinds of seeds, including every kind of plant.

After the seeds arrived in the other world, the next step was to sow them.

Mayor Dean posted a notice on the bulletin board in the central square, calling on the residents of Dore City to help turn the soil, and also attached a good reward.

It was really a large piece of land, and Mayor Dean's men could not turn it all. Augustus led the soldiers to transport the seeds and the planting methods copied by Jiang Li in the common language of the continent in a carriage, and hurriedly transported them out of the city. Not long after, the shopping street in Dore City was empty.

All residents who had free time picked up their hoes and went out of the city. Even the Adventurer's Guild and the Magician's Association posted notices recruiting people at the door, and many adventurers and magicians went to help.

Jiang Li looked at the rare deserted shopping street and felt a little uncomfortable. It just so happened that since the supermarket had no business, he could use this time to decorate his house in the other world.

Because he was the only one and was only in the other world in the morning, the progress of the decoration was very slow.

When the residents of Dore City who had returned from the city to reclaim land walked into the supermarket and wanted to reward themselves for their hard work, they found that there was a new person behind the cash register.

The silver-haired elf sat behind the cash register, his emerald eyes staring at the customer who had just walked in. Next to him was a large gift bag of potato chips, the sawtooth seal had been opened, and a bag of plain potato chips was placed on his knees. After the New Year, these leftover snack gift bags became unpopular and became the wages of some elves.

One gift bag for half a day.

Imitating what his students usually do, the elf raised a barely perceptible arc at the corner of his mouth, "Welcome."

After a few seconds, he put it down again, "What do you want to buy?"

Chris and his companions widened their eyes in surprise: "Mr. Messenner? Why is it you? Where is Boss Jiangli?"

Messenner: "He is busy."

Some strange strings and magical props that make rumbling sounds, without any magic elements, can achieve the effect of magic. Messenner held up his staff and watched for a long time, but he didn't understand.

"Well... then," Chris said, "We want to buy a pack of hot pot base, some hot pot meatballs, and canned luncheon meat."

Irene had already walked to the freezer, and she quickly exclaimed, "Wow! Chris, come and see, the ice cream is here again!"

The weather was getting warmer, and Jiang Li adjusted the position in the freezer to make room for the ice creams. Chris and others said excitedly, "Great, then I'll have an extra chocolate ice cream today."

"Me too."

Everyone skillfully took the goods from the shelves. They knew the prices of these goods by heart, and before the elves slowly reported the amount according to the price list written by Jiang Li, they had already put the required silver coins on the counter.

Chris and the others were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stood at the door, tasting chocolate ice cream and started chatting: "We just came back from outside the city. The city lord summoned people to plant crops, and we went too. We planted tomato seeds."

"When those tomato seeds mature, we can have tomatoes to eat!"

Irene said with anticipation: "Tomato hot pot is so delicious, dishes made with tomatoes must be delicious too. I heard from Mr. Jiang Li that tomatoes and eggs are a perfect match. I wonder what they taste like."

Messenner's ears moved: "Tomatoes?"

"But I heard that the most planted crop is soybeans."

"There's nothing I can do. Tofu is really delicious."

"Tofu is still too expensive now. Once those soybeans mature, tofu will probably become very cheap."

Chris finished the ice cream quickly and bit the wooden stick reluctantly. He said, "I heard that Lord Dean plans to sell those plants to other cities in the kingdom. They will definitely be very popular. Maybe they will become as expensive as golden fruit? It's a pity that I know nothing about taking care of plants. Otherwise... Irene, you are a magician, can you grow plants with magic?" Irene

clenched her fists: "I am an adventurer, don't change my career casually!"

The silver-haired elf ate potato chips, crunching, as if thinking about something.

Chris and the others stayed in the supermarket for a while. During this time, other customers came and they enthusiastically helped Messenner calculate the amount of the goods. It was not until their stomachs began to urge them that they carried the hot pot ingredients and headed home. After lunch, they had to continue to help outside the city.

Messenner ate half of the reward for today, and Jiang Li hurriedly rode his bicycle to the door of the supermarket.

"Sorry, teacher, I forgot to pay attention to the time and kept you waiting for a long time." He opened the drawer and was surprised to see the increasing amount of money inside: "Huh? Is business so good today?"

Messenner nodded modestly: "Yeah."

"Thank you, teacher, you really helped me a lot." Jiang Li grabbed a handful of coins from the drawer and stuffed them into the pocket of his light blue robe: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Messenner walked out of the supermarket with potato chips. After two steps, he felt a violent magical fluctuation behind him. He looked back and saw that the spacious and bright supermarket had disappeared, replaced by a narrow and old storefront. As usual, Jiang Li left.

The magic elements remaining in the air were very active. His magic power extended and searched along the traces of the magic, but no matter how many times, he could not locate the destination of the magic transmission, as if it had disappeared from this continent.

Messenner retracted his sight, he touched the weight of the robe and coins, looked at the direction of the restaurant on the left, made up his mind, raised his feet and walked firmly to the right.

...

Jiang Li laid solar photovoltaic panels on the roof to prevent the electricity from being insufficient to support the operation of this large mansion, and installed another generator. After pulling the wires, some household appliances can be arranged, especially light bulbs. The magic lamp is always bright, but candlelight can easily cause a fire. After Jiang Li installed lamps in every room, he finally didn't have to walk with a flashlight at night.

Adding industry to a house full of otherworldly style, the style of the painting is incompatible with the house. Jiang Li searched through the magic books and finally found the right magic. Without asking the engineering team to redecorate, the wires were hidden in the walls. Except for the extra sockets and switches on the wall and the extra lamps above the head, the interior of the house has not changed much and is still full of otherworldly style.

With the help of magic, many things become much easier. Later, Jiang Li used magic to replace his own hands to do the project without any instruction. When the mighty team returned to the city, he also completed the major renovation of the house.

From now on, he finally has electricity in the other world!

Of course, the signal is still a problem. Jiang Li couldn't rub the base station with his bare hands, so his mobile phone was still a brick in the other world.

But this was also a very big improvement. After finishing work, he proudly took Messenner to visit the house again.

"It's just like the table lamp in the bedroom. Just press this switch to turn on the light."

Jiang Li demonstrated it once, and the energy-saving light above his head lit up, causing the silver-haired elf to immediately raise his head. There was another click, and the light turned off.

Messenner commented: "Magic can do it, too."

"Yes, magic is very convenient, but there are also inconvenient aspects of magic."

Jiang Li took him to the kitchen, where he added many small appliances, such as rice cookers. I watched the white rice and other ingredients being mixed and poured into the rice cooker. I pressed the switch and did nothing. After a while, the aroma of the simmering rice came out with the steam.

Smelling the fragrance, the elf's emerald green eyes became bright: "This..."

"Yes, it will be very convenient to cook rice in the future." Jiang Li introduced the fruits of his labor to him with a bit of pride, "Even people who don't know how to cook can easily cook rice, and when the rice inside is cooked, the electric The rice cooker will automatically cut off the power and keep it warm, so you don’t have to watch or worry about burning it. Even if you go out for a whole day, you can still have freshly cooked rice when you come back.”

After the beeping sound, the rice in the rice cooker is finished.

Jiang Li opened the lid, scooped out a bowl of vegetable stewed rice and handed it to her. Messenner tasted it carefully. The rice was soft and glutinous, and it absorbed the aroma of mushrooms and vegetables. The flavor of the ingredients was not reduced at all, and it was full of fragrance. It was exactly the same as the one sold in the restaurant.

He looked at the prop called rice cooker in front of him in disbelief. It was so convenient, even more convenient than magic. He had never seen such a magic prop.

But there was no magic element on it.

He asked cautiously: "How is this done?"

It must be high-tech. Jiang Li thought to himself.

"And this." Jiang Li took him to see the double-door refrigerator next to it. It was still empty inside, with only some frozen foods moved from the supermarket in the freezer. Jiang Li said, "This is a refrigerator. The left side is for freezing, and the right side is for refrigeration. It can keep food fresh and delay its spoilage."

Messenner took it to heart. There are similar magic props in the other world.

Jiang Li took him to the living room again.

There was a strange thing under the succulent tree. Jiang Li had just brought it from the supermarket. Because it was not summer yet, no one had bought it.

There was an extra socket on the wall. Jiang Li plugged in the power supply and pressed the switch. Messenner sat in a familiar position, watching his movements in confusion. Soon, he felt a cool breeze.

The blades of the electric fan were spinning, delivering cool breeze dutifully.

Messenner's eyes widened: "This..."

Jiang Li held the electric fan: "This is an electric fan. Although it's a little early to use it now, it will be very useful in summer. In fact, air conditioning is better, but the living room is too big, and I'm afraid that the electricity generated is not enough, so I installed it in the bedroom."

The wind blowing in the face was slightly cool. It was indeed a bit cold in spring, but if it were summer, there would be such a machine next to it to send cool wind all the time. You don't have to think about how cool it would be.

However, Messenner asked: "What is an air conditioner?"

Jiang Li: "It's used in supermarkets. It can cool and heat."

The silver-haired elf's eyes sparkled and he nodded vigorously.

...

Not long after the house was renovated, Jiang Li also received an invitation from Augustus, inviting him to go outside the city to see the newly reclaimed farmland.

All the land outside the city has been reclaimed and sown. In some places where the seeds were sown earlier, tender green shoots have already emerged.

All the seeds provided by Jiang Li were sown. When he accepted Augustus' invitation to go outside the city to see, there were so many farmlands that it was almost impossible to see the end.

"All the seeds were sown according to the method you gave. For this, the agricultural officer spent a lot of effort." Augustus pointed to the rice fields, and Jiang Li was surprised to find that even the rice fields were perfectly restored.

"Rice is a very good crop." Augustus looked at the green seedlings in the distance, as if he saw the scene of a good harvest in the future. His blue eyes reflected the blue sky, and his mood was as sunny as the weather: "I heard you say that the yield of these rice is very high. If it can be grown smoothly, it can fill the stomachs of countless poor people."

Jiang Li recalled: "If there is no acclimatization, one mu of land can produce about 1,000 kilograms."

Augustus nodded and was about to answer, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head suddenly, and his voice suddenly rose: "You, how much did you say?!"

Jiang Li said affirmatively: "One thousand kilograms. The premise is that there are no accidents. If everything goes well, more than one thousand kilograms is also possible."

He specially picked a high-yield variety.

Augustus could hardly keep his expression.

One, a thousand kilograms? !

What does that mean?

Before rice appeared, they used wheat as their staple food. Even if there was a bumper harvest, the wheat they planted would only yield two or three hundred kilograms. In fact, although supermarkets are very popular in Dolei City, there are still many poor civilians who have never visited them. They have to spend most of their money on food.

If there is an output of more than a thousand kilograms...

Young City Lord Dean's body swayed, and he was overwhelmed by the great surprise. He almost fainted on the spot, but he stood up in time. He suddenly turned his head to look at the green seedlings in the distance. Those tender green seedlings have not yet grown up, but in his eyes, they have become a huge gold mine.

One thousand kilograms!!!

The breeze blew through the seedlings, and Jiang Li thought calmly: High-tech.
