Chapter 47

In addition to rice, Augustus also asked Jiang Li about the production of other seeds.

Jiang Li couldn't remember most of them clearly, and told him what he could remember.

After being cultivated and improved by modern technology generation after generation, the production and quality of seeds have been greatly improved. Every number Jiang Li reported was enough to make Augustus ecstatic.

"One thousand kilograms, one thousand kilograms..." Augustus muttered to himself in disbelief: "If rice can be as abundant as you said, the rice in these fields, wouldn't it be enough for the whole people of Dolei City..."

Jiang Li took a look at the dark brown land in front of him that seemed to be endless. They were distinguished from the grass fields that were already dotted with green buds. People were scattered all over the fields, bending over to take care of the fields.

"Yes." Jiang Li said, "I think it's more than enough."

Augustus's breathing lightened.

"Don't you want to sell them all over the kingdom?" Jiang Li turned his head to look at him: "You told me before that tomatoes will be very popular. I think the excess production will also have a suitable place."

"Of course!"

"I can't wait to see what the tomatoes really look like. The whole people of Dolei City are looking forward to it. I heard that you have handed over the recipe of tomato scrambled eggs to Levi." The blond-haired and blue-eyed young city lord Dean was in high spirits: "I think, in the whole kingdom... no, in the whole Lalan continent, no one can resist its taste."

Jiang Li deeply agreed: "I think so too."

Because tomato hot pot is very popular.

Perhaps because people in the other world don't accept chili peppers very much, tomato hot pot is the most popular hot pot base sold outside of Dolei City.

Perhaps their conversation was overheard by someone passing by. When Jiang Li rode his bicycle slowly back to Dolei City, someone came to ask him anxiously shortly after he entered the supermarket.

"Mr. Jiang Li, can tomatoes produce so much as 1,000 kilograms?!"

Jiang Li: "......?"

He refuted the rumor: "It's not tomatoes, it's rice, the rice you ate before."

Hearing this, the customer became even more excited: "Then the 1,000 kilograms is true?!"

"As long as nothing unexpected happens." Jiang Li nodded: "Yes."

That's a full 1,000 kilograms! Oh my God!

The residents of Dore City originally thought that they were well-informed and had long been accustomed to the magic of the supermarket, but now, when they heard the number, they were still shocked.

This, this, this... so much food, how full they should be!

The news spread throughout the city-state like the wind, and soon it reached everyone's ears. The residents of Dore City all looked forward to it, and took better care of the crops in the fields. Although the sprouts in the fields had just emerged, they were already filled with heavy hopes.

Jiang Li sat in the supermarket, welcoming countless customers and answering countless similar questions.

When he was talking about it until his mouth was dry, he saw Messenner walking in from outside.

"Teacher, where have you been? I didn't see you all morning." Jiang Li raised the magic book in his hand: "Because I didn't see you, I taught myself first."

The elf rubbed the mud on the soles of his shoes on the mat at the door, then walked in and sat down in his own seat behind the cashier. He lowered his eyes and found that the edge of his light blue robe had been stained with mud at some point, and it seemed that after a long time, it had turned into dry yellow mud.

Messenner moved his fingertips calmly, and the small stain quickly disappeared under the effect of magic.

"I went to see the soybeans." He said truthfully.

"Huh? Did you go out of the city to see the land outside just now?" Jiang Li muttered: "Strange, I just came back from there, why didn't I see you."

"..."

"Maybe the land Augustus circled is too big." Jiang Li opened the magic book, pointed to the place he just looked at, and was eager to learn: "Teacher, I don't understand here."

...

After these seeds from the other world came to the new world, they had no problems with the water and soil. Perhaps the soil in the other world was particularly fertile, allowing these seeds to grow very vigorously, almost every day. They quickly sprouted from a seed, grew roots, took root in the soil, and absorbed nutrients from the bottom to grow rich fruits.

At the same time, because the area was too large at the beginning, Lord Dean had to hire more people to take care of it.

"Fortunately, the supermarket business is very good." Augustus stopped and walked in when passing by the supermarket. He bought himself a chocolate ice cream. While tasting the delicious ice cream, he chatted with Jiang Li: "Those goods sold far and wide in the capital have earned us a lot of gold coins, and those gold coins are used to pay the wages of hired workers. Jiang Li, have you noticed that there are more people in Dolei City recently?"

Jiang Li flipped through the magic book and reviewed the magic he had just learned. Recently, his elf teacher is often missing and often appears at mealtime, but he leaves him with a lot of homework.

Jiang Li didn't even raise his head and casually replied, "Is there?"

"Of course there is." Augustus said affirmatively, "Haven't you noticed? Recently, many new faces have come to Dolei City. As a result, the city is a little overcrowded. My father plans to widen the city wall to the south to accommodate more new people. In fact, if it weren't for these newcomers, we wouldn't be able to find so many people to farm."

Similarly, the newly opened land has also solved the work of many people.

His words reminded Jiang Li of something, and he suddenly raised his head from the magic book: "It seems that there are more people of other races among the customers coming to the supermarket."

For example, the day before yesterday, Jiang Li also received a half-orc child.

The orc kid was probably less than ten years old. He came to the supermarket alone, with his tail tucked in and a pair of fluffy fox ears on his head. He walked in carefully, not daring to look at Jiang Li for too long. Perhaps Jiang Li's gaze on his ears was too obvious, so he only bought a pack of the cheapest jam sandwich cookies and tripped over the door sill when leaving. He ran as fast as if he had been bitten by a dog.

Augustus took out a bowl of ice cream from the freezer, scooped a large spoonful of ice cream into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Yes, many other races have come to Dore City recently, perhaps because of the elf."

"Teacher?"

"Very few elves will settle in human cities. I guess that is why, in the eyes of outsiders, Dore City seems to be closer to non-human creatures. We have become stricter in the inspection at the city gate to prevent evil creatures from sneaking in."

Augustus finished a small box of ice cream, which was not even as big as a palm, in two or three bites. He then took out the magic prop ice box and filled it with ice cream and popsicles. After closing the lid, he did not forget to put a few chocolates in his pocket.

Jiang Li couldn't help but remind him: "Are you eating too many sweets?"

"Don't worry." Augustus took out his wallet and said confidently: "I have taken good care of my dental health. Also, the tooth health potion in Morton's Pharmacy is very effective."

Jiang Li: "..."

Looking at the back of the blond noble riding away, Jiang Li thought: I wonder if the magic potion in the other world can cure high blood sugar?

He shook his head, threw away the unnecessary thoughts, and continued to look down at the magic book.

After a while, the door rang again. A new guest has arrived.

"Welcome." Jiang Li said with his head down. After reading the content of this passage in the magic book, he raised his head belatedly.

To his surprise, he only saw a fluffy head behind the counter.

Jiang Li stood up and saw the person standing behind him clearly. It was a dwarf with a thick beard. The curly beard and messy hair were crowded on his head, leaving only a pair of black eyes on his face. There was also a huge axe on his back, almost as tall as him.

Jiang Li blinked in surprise: "Hello? What do you need?"

The dwarf raised his head, his beard was so thick that Jiang Li could not distinguish his expression. He just said, "I heard that this is the best store in Dolei City?"

"Did they say that?" Jiang Li was a little embarrassed. Hearing customers' praise day after day made him feel that his skin had become thicker. "This is a supermarket. Snacks, drinks, daily necessities, everything is sold here. You can pick whatever you want."

The dwarf lowered his head and muttered something. Jiang Li didn't understand. It was probably not the common language of the mainland. After a moment, he raised his head again and asked, "Hot pot base? I heard that the hot pot base in Dolei City is very famous."

Jiang Li pointed to the shelf where the hot pot base was placed.

The dwarf walked in, and the leather soles of his shoes touched the stone brick floor, making a tapping sound.

Soon, the sound stopped, and soon it turned into a thump, and then a bang, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Jiang Li quickly stood up to take a look, and soon, he showed an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, I put the hot pot base too high..."

The dwarf glared at him unsatisfiedly from behind his thick beard, tied the axe back to his body, and returned to the counter with the soles of his shoes kicking. He had already jumped up and got the hot pot base he wanted from the high shelf.

"How much?" the dwarf asked.

Jiang Li: "Five silver coins."

"Five silver coins?!"

The dwarf took a deep breath, muttered, and began to rummage through his pockets, turning out scattered silver and copper coins from the large and small pockets on his body. This time, Jiang Li understood. He was using the common language of the mainland to say "greedy human beings".

Five silver coins fell on the cash register with a clang.

"They better be worth five silver coins." The dwarf said viciously, holding the bag of hot pot base, he left the supermarket with the clacking of his shoes.
