Chapter 61

What to do with too much money?

Of course, find more ways to spend it.

So, next to the newly established pickled vegetable workshop, other workshops were also established one after another.

Relying on the almighty search engine, Jiang Li translated all the things that could be replicated in the other world, such as the ancient vegetable oil pressing process, the various methods of making meat jerky, pastries and biscuits, etc.

When a thick stack of recipes appeared on his desk, City Lord Dean was completely stunned: "This, this, this, this..."

City Lord Dean stood up straight and carefully held up the recipes with both hands. He saw the words "Vegetable Oil Pressing Method" written in the common language of the mainland on the top piece of paper. His heart trembled and he said incoherently: "These... these are all... all..."

Jiang Li calmly patted the non-existent dust on his hands and nodded: "Yes, all of these are given to Dolei City."

"Bang!"

City Lord Dean sat back down again.

He was incredulous: "All?"

Jiang Li: "All!"

City Lord Dean subconsciously glanced at the bottom corner of the bookshelf next to him. He hid a bottle of precious wine there, intending to celebrate a particularly good day in the future. He should not have drunk it in advance today.

But if he hadn't drunk, how could he see this scene in front of him?

Isn't this really a scene that can only be seen when drunk?

"But these, aren't they supermarket products?" City Lord Dean asked nervously: "Is it really okay to give these to us?"

For example, the method of pressing vegetable oil. Peanuts and soybeans are planted in the farmland outside the city. With the pressing process, they can produce vegetable oil themselves. The oil in the other world is mainly animal fats. Before this, he had only seen vegetable oil in supermarkets. If I give them this formula, wouldn't that mean I'm handing over the supermarket's business to them?

Jiang Li scratched his head: "What does it matter?"

These are not the supermarket's patents. He is just a small boss who runs a supermarket and a middleman who makes a profit from the price difference.

Besides, who knows whose cost is lower. Jiang Li thought: Modern industrialized products, with the manpower and material resources of another world, even if all these things are copied, will the cost be cheaper than the supermarket's purchase price?

Of course not!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li put down the magic backpack behind him.

City Lord Dean carefully put the stack of formulas aside, fearing that he would leave marks on it with rough movements. He took the backpack in confusion, the largest one in the magic shop. When he opened it, his eyes were immediately struck by the golden color inside.

A whole pocket of gold coins!

City Lord Dean raised his head blankly: "This is..."

"This is my investment capital."

"Investment capital?" What is this?

Jiang Li explained: "You shared the pickled vegetable workshop with me. As a shareholder of the workshop, I would be embarrassed if I did nothing and took the profits in vain. These gold coins will be regarded as the capital for my investment. As for other matters, how to sell the pickled vegetables to all parts of the mainland, I can only leave it to Dolei City and you."

Lord Dean was silent.

"And those new formulas." Jiang Li smiled: "Don't you want to make them quickly?"

Holding a thick stack of formulas in his hand, City Lord Dean found it difficult to say something that he was not moved by. He sighed deeply: "Mr. Jiang Li, what you have done for Duo Lei City, how can we repay you?"

Jiang Li said casually: "Duo Lei City makes these well, which is what I want to see most."

What's more, he didn't do much.

In addition to providing the formula, these gold coins are really useless in his hands.

Since the supermarket opened in the other world, the income has accumulated to a terrifying amount, but Jiang Li has no expenses in the other world. The only thing he spent a lot was buying a house and occasionally buying some magic props. The other bits and pieces can be almost ignored, but those spent gold coins are just a drop in the bucket under the huge profit.

The cost of purchasing goods in the supermarket is the currency of the Earth. The money from the other world is accumulating more and more. When the speed of accumulating money is much faster than the speed of spending, Jiang Li began to worry about how to use the money.

If he can use the money that he can't use to do something for the people of Duolei City, and then hear the gratitude of the people in the other world to him in the future, Jiang Li will not feel unworthy.

Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, looking back, he can still see the Dean brother and sister looking around, and the two similar blue eyes are looking at him brightly. Obviously, they have heard what happened in the study.

After waving goodbye to Augustus and his sister, Jiang Li got on his electric car, twisted the handle, and drove slowly towards the shopping street.

The cool summer breeze blew across his cheeks, blowing the strands of hair in front of his forehead to the back of his head, revealing his handsome face. The electric car passed by quickly on the road, and before people had time to say hello, they saw his figure had already driven away.

"Huh? What is Mr. Jiang Li riding?"

"Is that a monster? It looks so strange."

"No, no, no, I heard from Mr. Jiang Li that it is called an electric car, a rechargeable means of transportation."

"It looks faster than a horse-drawn carriage. I wonder when the supermarket will sell this..."

Because the supermarket sells a lot of tools that require batteries, the residents of Dolei City now have a vague understanding of "electricity". They know that it is a magical energy that can be used by tools without magic.

Perhaps, when the dwarves who have locked themselves up in the workshop for intensive training come out, they may be able to bring electricity to the other world...

When the electric car drove near the central square, Jiang Li squeezed the brakes and stopped.

Not far away, next to the fountain, a large crowd of people gathered, and panicked shouts came from the crowd.

"I'm steady, I'm steady!"

"Mr. Messenner, don't hit me--" "

Ahhh--Mr. Messenner, be careful!"

With a "bang" sound, the crowd of onlookers took a breath of cool air, and Jiang Li also sighed.

He got off the bike and pushed through the crowd. As expected, his bike fell to the ground. The silver-haired elf was holding his robe and standing beside him at a loss. Chris and others were crying sadly.

Riding a bike in summer is too hot. In order to travel conveniently, Jiang Li changed his own means of transportation. The replaced bike was favored by Messenal.

He could not use flying magic in the city-state. He had to rely on his own feet to go anywhere. It took a lot of time to go back and forth just to buy a piece of tofu.

However, the powerful elves were unable to tame this means of transportation from another world.

Seeing Jiang Li appear, Chris and others breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Jiang Li, you should teach him yourself."

"Colin has learned to ride a bicycle just by watching."

"Why is it so difficult for him to ride a bicycle when he is so good at using magic?"

Jiang Li lowered his eyes and saw traces of the elf's robe corners being caught in the wheels of a bicycle. Perhaps elves are naturally close to nature and find it difficult to adapt to modern industrial products. Messenner has been practicing riding a bicycle for several days, but has not made any progress. He still falls down as soon as he gets on the bike. The only thing is that he has become more proficient in using magic. When he falls, he quickly uses magic to protect himself and jumps to the side.

Messenner sternly corrected: "Bicycles are harder than magic."

Irene said anxiously: "You are a great magician who can use ancient magic!"

Messenner argued: "Ancient magic is simpler than bicycles."

Irene: "..."

Irene took a deep breath and hid behind her companions.

The bicycle fell to the ground helplessly. Jiang Li looked down for a while and said helplessly: "How about adding auxiliary wheels?"

The silver-haired elf looked over in confusion: "Auxiliary wheels?"

"It is an auxiliary tool used by children when they first learn to ride a bicycle."

If you want to add auxiliary wheels to the bicycle, you have to modify it.

This is very simple, you don't need to go back to the modern era, just ask the dwarves for help.

When Jiang Li knocked on the door of the dwarf workshop, after waiting for a long time, the dwarf stepped out with heavy steps to open the door: "What's the matter?! It's written on the sign at the door. I haven't been... Oh! Mr. Jiang Li!"

The voice of the dwarf Eugene suddenly became sharp, and his angry words instantly became friendly and hospitable: "It's rare to see you come to me. What's the matter? Do you want me to help you make weapons? No problem! I'll prepare it now!"

"No, it's not." Jiang Li pushed out his bicycle and described the auxiliary wheels to him.

"So that's it."

Eugene held the bicycle and pondered for a moment, and soon got an idea. He entered his workshop, picked up the metal ore and knocked it for a while, and soon took out two auxiliary wheels, which were almost the same as Jiang Li described.

After installing the auxiliary wheels on the wheels of the bicycle, Eugene still felt unsatisfied: "Is there anything else I can do? If you want weapons, I just received a rare ore recently..."

"No, thank you."

Jiang Li put down the reward and pushed the bicycle away. The dwarf's enthusiastic voice came from far behind: "Mr. Jiang Li! Come back anytime next time!"

Jiang Li: "..."

In fact, the previous attitude was also very good. He thought a little uncomfortably.

Taking the bicycle back to the central square, looking at the bicycle with two more wheels, Messenner hesitated for a long time and sat on it hesitantly.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Li asked.

Messenner: "Um..."

Chris and others watched anxiously from the side.

As he said that, Jiang Li let go of his hand.

The bicycle with two extra wheels did not fall down just because he let go. It could stand steadily on the ground even without anyone's help. Messenner took a deep breath and stepped on the pedals carefully. His movements were slow, but he managed to move forward a little distance.

Huh?

The crowd of onlookers took another deep breath.

Messenner continued to pedal a few more times. Although it was more strenuous than before, he did not fall to the ground like before and moved forward smoothly. He pedaled slowly and rode crookedly around the central square. His emerald green eyes were shining, and he rode back in front of everyone.

The crowd burst into warm applause.

Chris couldn't help but say, "It turns out that there is such a convenient tool, why not use it earlier?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li hesitated, "...After you get used to the bicycle, you can remove the auxiliary wheels."

...

Recruitment notices began to be posted on the bulletin board in the central square. At the same time, next to the pickled vegetable workshop, workshops were built on the open space in the south of Dore City. The future industrial park of Dore City has taken shape.

But Dore City soon ran out of manpower. Whether it was the elderly, women, or even half-grown children, they all went to the workshop to apply for jobs, but it was still not enough. Mayor Dean had to send people to other cities to recruit employees. With the

departure of the trucks, Dore City began to sell the excess rice to other cities and spread the news of the workshop to other cities.

When the vehicle came back, it not only brought back curious new residents, but also brought new news.

"The King summoned me?"

Jiang Li was stunned.
