Chapter 60

After sending the notebook, Jiang Li never saw the dwarf Eugene again.

He no longer tried to go to Jiang Li's house, nor did he ring the doorbell. He locked himself in the workshop and studied the contents of the notebook day and night. According to Chris's occasional visit to Jiang Li, he had completely immersed himself in the world of modern science.

"...I brought some wine to find Eugene, but he refused to even talk to me. He would rather hold those notebooks than say a word to me. He also blew up his workshop several times, and I don't know what he was doing." Chris shook his head and sighed as he spoke: "We haven't seen Eugene in the tavern we often go to for a long time. We all miss him."

Ginger scanned the code to pay for the goods and asked casually: "He blew up his own workshop?"

"Yes." Chris said it with doubts: "It rained heavily a few days ago. I don't know what Eugene did, but divine punishment fell from the sky and landed in his house."

Fortunately, the dwarf was thick-skinned and strong, and except for his hair and beard being burnt black by electricity, nothing happened to him.

Jiang Li: "..."

After putting the items on the cash register into the bag, Chris left with a bag full of goods.

Just as he sat back on the stool and picked up the magic book he had not finished reading, a new customer pushed the door open and walked in: "Jiang Li!"

Augustus walked to the freezer with familiarity, first got himself a cold chocolate ice cream, and then handed the list to Jiang Li: "This is the goods needed for next month."

He held the ice cream in his mouth, took out an expanded magic pocket, and said vaguely: "Also, this is the dividend I gave you last month."

You don't need to open it to know that it must be full of gold coins. Jiang Li glanced at it casually, without counting, just looking at it, you can see that it is more than before. Looking at the list of goods again, the number is also much more than before.

"So many?" He read it from beginning to end: "Augustus, did you write it wrong?"

"Impossible, I checked it several times, and not a single number is wrong."

Augustus finished an ice cream in three or two bites. Feeling that the heat from walking outdoors in the summer had finally subsided, he picked up the second one and tasted it slowly. "In addition to the royal capital, we have opened branches in other cities. Business will certainly get better and better. Besides, your story has long spread beyond Dore City."

Jiang Li was confused: "My story?"

"Of course it's about you and Mr. Messenner joining forces to repel the beast tide. Because of this, the supermarket is now more famous than before. Even His Majesty the King has personally praised the supermarket's products!"

After all, this is humanity's own strong man.

As the most numerous and weakest race on the Lalan Continent, humans are plagued by the invasion of demons and monsters. Other races on the continent, such as elves, have innate talents and advantages, but they are not close to humans. Some even reject humans and are hostile to humans. Even those who often do business with humans, such as dwarves, do not really regard humans as their companions.

Humans never place their hopes on other races, but only on their own hands. Therefore, even in the alien world where transportation is inconvenient and news spreads slowly, the news of the beast tide spread out of Duolei City like a prairie fire and quickly spread to other cities.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to see Jiang Li in person, and the supermarket run by Jiang Li has also been heard by more people.

As a result, the already popular supermarket products have become even more popular!

"The products shipped before can't keep up with the current sales." Augustus raised his thumb and said, "Especially after His Majesty the King praised it, the sales in the capital have also increased greatly. Now all the nobles are proud to own the supermarket's products. Even the reputation of Dolei City has greatly increased. Recently, most of the new residents who moved into the city came for you, Jiang Li."

After all, a city with a strong person living in it is safer. In addition, the new rice grown in Dolei City, a cheap and delicious food, quickly spread and attracted many new residents to move in.

With more and more new residents, the houses in Dolei City are almost full, and the construction team is working overtime every day.

Jiang Li touched his nose and read the contents of the list again: "Okay, I will prepare the goods on it in a few days."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Augustus quickly finished the second ice cream.

He originally wanted to take another one, and hesitated for a moment after placing his hand behind the glass sliding door of the freezer, and walked back empty-handed.

Jiang Li counted the list of goods, glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and cast a confused look.

You know, the blond nobleman in front of him is a loyal customer of the supermarket, especially he loves sweets, he alone can drive half of the sales. At the beginning of summer, he used magic props to take away half of the ice cream in the freezer, not to mention the chocolate and other desserts that he usually buys. Relying on the tooth health potion, Augustus never harshly eats.

Receiving his confusion, the blond nobleman looked away guiltily.

"The pastor in the city said that I eat too many sweets." There were no customers in the supermarket at the moment, and no one else could hear him. Augustus hesitantly expressed his worries: "Although there are tooth health potions and slimming potions, eating too many sweets has also caused some effects on my body. For this reason, he had to cast healing magic on me, but..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but worry: "Is the healing magic useless?"

Augustus sighed: "No, it is useful."

"Then..."

"Ophelia knows about this."

"..."

The blond nobleman clenched his fists tightly, and his face showed uncontrollable regret. "I have always been a good brother in front of Ophelia, but she saw such an embarrassing scene. Ophelia must be very disappointed in me. She also confiscated my remaining ice cream and warned me not to be presumptuous again."

"..." Jiang Li returned his gaze to the list, and what he heard went in one ear and out the other.

Augustus said with great sorrow: "But...but sweets are really delicious!"

"But for the sake of your health, you don't want Miss Ophelia to be disappointed in you, right?" In a different world where sugar is so precious, the priest must be surprised that he had to ask the priest to use healing magic because of consuming too much sweets. Thinking

of this, Jiang Li raised his head vigilantly, "But you just ate two ice creams?"

Augustus: "..."

The expression of the blond nobleman was visibly frozen.

A pair of eyes, one black and one blue, stared at each other for a moment, and the young city lord Dean took the lead in changing the subject: "There is one more thing. Since the harvest of the farmland, many workshops have appeared in Dolei City. As far as I know, there are tomato sauce, tofu, and some pickled vegetables."

Jiang Li nodded: "I know."

He was even the one who taught him the method of pickling vegetables.

The people in the other world would make monster meat into jerky, but there was no mature preservation method for vegetables. In winter, vegetables became a precious ingredient, and the common people could not afford it. Jiang Li had a lot of opinions on this.

Not to mention pickled vegetables such as pickled mustard, salted vegetables, bamboo shoots, and dried radish that we have eaten since childhood, the mushrooms that have been sun-dried are not only durable in storage, but also have a stronger fragrance. In his supermarket, these salty, oily and salty side dishes are also very popular, especially among adventurers. When it is inconvenient to cook in the wild, take out a piece of dry bread, break it open, and put a bag of side dishes sold in the supermarket inside. It is not only convenient to carry, but also tastes very good.

Especially after the rice harvest, pickled vegetables are the best match with rice, especially when paired with white porridge, you can drink two bowls in one breath!

The farmland has a bumper harvest, and the residents of Dolei City have harvested abundant vegetables. If the excess vegetables are not consumed in time, they will be wasted. Whether it is Jiang Li or the humans in the other world, they are reluctant to waste precious food, so Jiang Li sent out the recipe for pickled vegetables very early.

There are different pickling methods for different vegetables. Pickles are not only delicious with rice, but also very delicious when stir-fried with meat. After trying it, not only the residents of Dore City, but also Messenal rolled up their sleeves and pickled several jars at home with great interest.

But Lord Dean has other ideas.

"My father plans to build a large workshop." Augustus said: "The output of vegetables in the farmland exceeds our expectations. The residents of Dore City alone cannot consume them all. If they are made into pickles, they are not only convenient for storage, but can also be transported to other cities for sale."

Even like the golden fruit of Luanca, pickled vegetables can become a unique feature of Dore City.

Even if Jiang Li leaves Dolei City with the supermarket one day, the seeds in the ground will continue to grow, and the pickled vegetables will continue to be passed down from generation to generation for ten years, a hundred years, and even if Dolei City disappears from the territory of the kingdom, it will always be recorded in the history of Lalan Continent.

And this is the miracle that Jiang Li brought to Dolei City.

No one can tell about the future now. When Jiang Li heard the plan of the city lord Dean, he just nodded in agreement.

Pickle factory.

Not only can it develop the local economy, but it can also create many jobs. Compared with small-scale individual workshops, Lord Dean can make the pickled vegetables famous in the other world more quickly. Even if others follow suit and imitate in the future, everyone will know that the ones from Dore City are the best. This is the power of the brand.

Augustus took out a document that he had prepared in advance from his arms.

Jiang Li took it and saw that it was a plan for a pickled vegetable workshop. Lord Dean must have prepared it for a long time and the plan was very comprehensive. With Jiang Li's limited business experience, he could not find any mistakes.

At the bottom of the plan, there was actually a contract.

This contract looked familiar, and it was similar to the cooperation agreement he had signed with Dore City. As long as Jiang Li signed his name, the magic contract would be established. When the pickle workshop in Dolei City starts selling in the future, Jiang Li will receive a share of the profits from every portion of pickled vegetables sold.

Jiang Li looked up in surprise: "This..."

Augustus nodded, "As long as you sign your name, the magic contract will be established and will not be changed."

"That's not necessary." Jiang Li put down the cooperation letter: "I didn't help much..."

"The seeds you shared and the formulas you generously gave have benefited us a lot, not to mention your supermarket and your magic. Jiang Li, since you brought your supermarket to Dore City, our city has benefited so much." Augustus said sincerely: "Compared to what you have done for Dore City, Dore City can do too little for you. This is just a little gift from us."

"..."

Augustus looked at him sincerely, wishing he could convey all the gratitude in his heart through his azure eyes.

After a long time, Jiang Li nodded hesitantly: "Okay. If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

Augustus was relieved and laughed heartily: "I won't be polite if you say that. When our pickle workshop opens, I will have many difficult problems to ask you!"

Jiang Li looked down at the magic contract in his hand.

Think about the endless benefits brought to him by modern hair growth and slimming drugs, and then look at the supermarket products sold at a premium in the other world, the daily cosmetics sold as luxury goods in the distance, and the future pickle factory...

Even if he does nothing, there will be a steady stream of money in his pocket in the future. Whether it is modern or in another world.

Jiang Li is a little distressed.

What should I do? I have too much money to spend.
