Chapter 310
"By the way, there are other new products here. This is toilet paper." Yu Sui took out a stack of light yellow toilet paper cut into squares and put it in Loft's hand.
Seeing Yu Sui's serious look, Loft picked up the toilet paper and looked at it carefully. He picked up a piece and rubbed it in his hand. The soft touch in his hand was quite comfortable, but it didn't look strong and would probably break if it came into contact with water.
He had no idea what this thing was used for, and to be honest it looked very cheap.
"What is this used for?" Loft asked in confusion.
Yu Sui approached him mysteriously and whispered a few words in his ear.
Lanros was bored and dazed the whole time, occasionally glancing warily at the mercenaries passing by the tent, and glancing at Loft with disdain.
Stupid human, can't even tell this is something for going to the toilet, so stupid, how can he be smarter than someone younger than him.
After listening to Yu Sui's whisper, Loft suddenly realized. Looking at the toilet paper in his hand, he knew what it was used for. The feeling also changed. The softness was for skin-friendliness, and the problem of easy breakage was easy to solve. For example, it could be folded and used. Besides, no one would use a lot of strength to go to the toilet, so this was not a problem.
This is a good thing. Although he is rich, it is a waste to throw away high-quality cotton cloth after use. Moreover, even if toilet paper is mainly sold to the middle class and ordinary people like soap, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it.
Ordinary people can only use leaves after going to the toilet, and in winter they can only use branches and stones, which is extremely unhygienic.
But such items are destined not to be sold too expensively. Loft thought about it and was a little unsure of what price to sell them at. According to the price in his mind, he was afraid that the cub chief would be angry if he told him.
"It's useful, but I don't know the price. Chief, tell me." Loft threw out this difficult question.
Yu Sui smiled without saying anything and raised a finger.
Loft frowned, and Nord next to him came over and said, "You can't sell this thing for a single silver coin. The price is too high and it won't sell. It will be thrown away after being used once."
Yu Sui slowly shook his head, teasing them intentionally, without explicitly stating the price, only asking them to guess.
"Is it ten copper coins or how much?" Nord saw that Loft was reluctant to speak, so he asked.
"It's not ten copper coins, nor is it one sheet. I've decided to sell it at one copper coin per pound. Whether you sell it by the pound or by the sheet is not my business. But toilet paper is a consumable item, meant for ordinary people. Don't sell it too expensive. I can provide it in large quantities."
Yu Sui then stopped teasing and told him the price he had expected with a smile.
This price was much lower than what Loft and Nord had imagined. Loft clapped his hands happily, "Great, this trip was really worth it. It's worth setting sail just when the storm stopped."
One copper coin costs one kilogram, and one gold coin can buy one thousand kilograms. Anyone who has used this thing will want to buy it. The cub chief has already given up almost 90% of the profit, and it seems that he is sincere in doing long-term business.
Loft waved his hand generously, "I want as many as the young patriarch has!"
After the paper mill was built recently, its scale expanded several times. In addition to the use of toilet paper by the tribesmen, a lot more toilet paper was produced. Orcs are specially assigned to make paper every day, which is much more efficient than the dwarves used to do.
Yu Sui made a rough calculation. Although the efficiency is high now, the paper mill was built not many days ago, and there are more than 3,000 kilograms of paper in the basement of the paper mill.
This is fast enough. They are all handmade and have to be hung in the yard one by one to dry before being taken down. The fact that so many can be accumulated in such a short time shows the orcs' dedication.
"Our factory has just been built, and we only have 3,000 kilograms now. We will have more when you come next time." Yu Sui said.
Loft was a little disappointed, but three thousand pounds was better than nothing, so he nodded.
At this moment, he was extremely interested in the package brought by Sui. If it weren't for the aristocratic etiquette he learned since childhood reminding him not to be rude, Loft would have wanted to check it with his own hands to see what good things it contained.
Fortunately, after Yu Sui finished talking about toilet paper, he walked forward and began to rummage through the package, and took out the next item, which was still something Lovett had never seen before, a few white strips and threads.
He couldn't help but squat down, staring at the new item in Yu Sui's hand with his bright eyes. With the previous two items as examples, this one must be no worse.
"This is a new food made by our tribe. It can be directly put into the soup to cook, or you can soak it first and then mix it with cold salad, or stir-fry it." Yu Sui explained patiently.
As for the food, it didn't smell like anything, and probably tasted mediocre, and it came from orcs, so Loft lost interest instantly.
"But its advantage is that it has a long shelf life. As long as it doesn't get wet, it can be stored for a year without any problem." Yu Sui said, holding up the vermicelli and noodles.
Loft was surprised. Today was definitely his most productive day. In just a short while, he was shocked again and again. "What? This thing can last for a year without spoiling?"
Nord was very tactful and found a pot, lit a fire, and placed the pot on it.
When the water began to boil, Yu Sui threw the vermicelli into it. He was not used to the knife and fork used by Loft and others, so he went out to break off two branches, washed them, and put them in the pot to stir.
The dried vermicelli and rice noodles fell apart in a short while, and after cooking for a while, the rice noodles began to become crystal clear. Yu Sui took it out first, sprinkled a few seasonings in it, mixed it well, and asked the two to taste it.
Lanluos's eyes suddenly turned hostile, filled with anger. That was the food Xiaoyu made himself! Even though it was very simple!
The vermicelli with only minced garlic and salt tasted a bit bland, but the vermicelli itself had a very elastic texture and was very attractive. Even Nord and Loft, who had eaten too much delicacies from land and sea, couldn't help but finish the vermicelli in a few bites.
At this time, the potato flour was also cooked. Yu Sui simply mixed the seasoning and handed the plate to the two of them.
Although Loft felt a little embarrassed, the soft and crystal-clear vermicelli in front of him looked delicious, completely different from what he had just tasted. He took it without hesitation and started eating.
Seeing that he had no intention of sharing, Nord shamelessly reached in with his fork and picked up a few pieces of potato starch. The soft, glutinous and slippery potato starch was also delicious. It would have been better if the seasoning was richer.
Yu Sui was trying to comfort Lanluo Si. He was afraid that the greedy dragon would snatch the food away, so he picked up the snacks on the table and quickly stuffed them into Lanluo Si's mouth.
"It's really good, much better than dry bread. Wolf will definitely like it. It can be kept for such a long time, which is perfect for mercenaries to go out on missions." Loft finished the last bite and exclaimed loudly.
Nord wiped his mouth contentedly. "Sometimes those mercenaries can't even chew dry bread, so they have to boil it in water. When it's done, it becomes a pot of mush."
