The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

The elves actually have many specialty products, such as perfume, dried mushrooms, special wood, etc.

But because the 'output' is too low, although it can make a little money, it cannot become a bulk commodity.

For example, perfume is indeed very expensive, but apart from using it for themselves, the elves will not sell more than two thousand bottles to takeaways a year.

This was the output when the population was over 100 million, but now that the Elf population is only around 10 million, the amount of perfume produced will be even lower.

Although the unit price profit is extremely high, because the quantity is too small, it cannot support the foreign exchange trading volume required by a country and race.

After all, dried fruits are sold in tens of thousands of tons, silk is sold in thousands of pieces every year, and tea is even more outrageous... One hundred grams is the same as the price of a bottle of perfume, and thousands of tons are sold for takeout every year.

Carved wood furniture is hard currency in the human world.

Although the price is not particularly outrageous, it sells very well, even better than silk.

The elves back then had never been worried about ‘materials’.

Bartering is their favorite method of transaction.

They are even willing to pay a 10% or 20% higher price to purchase the basic materials of the human world.

For example, metal ores, or some rare magic materials.

But things are different now. There are no three carriages in the four-horse carriage of the Elf clan's foreign trade. It's like a person who has three broken limbs. There is definitely no way to 'walk' easily anymore.

Hardy is not very familiar with the internal situation of the elves.

He thought for a while and asked: "Can you replace the dried fruits with grain? The Archdruid should be good at growing grains such as rice and wheat."

It's normal for Hardy to have this idea.

Although the dried fruits of the elves sell well, in comparison, food is more popular.

Food in the human world is also hard currency. In terms of price alone, dried fruits may be more expensive, but the problem is... dried fruits have shrunk by nine-tenths. If the price is calculated based on the basic output at harvest If so, then the unit price of grain is actually much higher than that of dried fruits.

Especially in this turbulent era, the average price of food is 30% more expensive than it was more than half a year ago.

Claudia understood Hardy's thoughts. She shook her head and said, "We have actually considered this, but later found that it was not practical."

"Why?"

"To grow wheat or rice, you need to cut down a large number of trees and clear up a large area of ​​cultivated land to meet the foreign trade needs of our elves." Claudia sighed and said: "But such a large area of ​​cultivated land It will affect the physical and mental health of all our elven children, especially young children!”

Um?

Claudia explained: "We are the children of the Mother Tree of the World. In essence, we are also a kind of tree. You can think of us as trees turned into people."

"When we stay in the forest, we stay with our loved ones. Trees will give us shelter and food. Fruits are like milk to us." Claudia sighed and said, "But wheat Unlike rice, they are not even products of this world, but brought from the devil world by humans. We have no ability to empathize with wheat and rice. "

Hardy looked surprised.

He really didn't expect that wheat and rice were not species in this plane.

It's actually an interdimensional species.

No wonder...it has always been said that the elves like to stay in the grasslands and in the woods.

I've never heard that they like to stay in wheat fields, so that's the reason.

"Then I can't think of any good ideas at the moment." Hardy spread his hands helplessly.

"It's okay." The Elf Queen comforted: "Please come here, I just want to talk about this matter. In the future, I will have to trouble you to use it as a transit point to help us carry out transactions and exchanges with other human countries. What good things can you think of in the future? Just tell me your ideas.”

Hardy nodded.

"Now that we have finished talking about business, we have to talk about private matters." The Elf Queen looked at Hardy's face, and then said: "You have been a little weak recently. Go find Lulu to get some herbs to supplement your health."

"The Queen also knows herbal medicine?"

"Lulu was taught by me."

Oh...no wonder, Lulu took Hadi for a walk in the mountains last time, and then she fainted.

Moreover, Lulu also made some tonic soup for Hadi to drink from time to time. After drinking it, her waist would indeed feel much better.

The elves are indeed a forest race. When it comes to medicine... Thinking of this, Hardy suddenly slammed the table with a loud bang.

Claudia was startled, then she looked at Hadi's excited face and asked, "You seem to have a good idea?"

"Are herbs easy for you to cultivate?"

Claudia nodded: "Whether it is natural magic or light magic, it essentially overdraws the human body's vitality for treatment. Although it is effective quickly, it is easy to deplete the body, so herbs are needed to replenish it. In addition, some elderly people The body is very weak. If you get sick again, you will easily die if you use magic treatment. At this time, you have to use medicinal soup to recuperate the body. We dare not say that there are many people in the herbal medicine. "

"Making aphrodisiacs and tonic soup." Hardy said with certainty, "We can make a lot of money."

At this time, Hardy felt that what he said was a bit immediate. Thinking about it more carefully, he was also 'selling' this kind of business in the real world.

So, no matter which plane it is, are men's reinforcement and needs really the same?

Claudia blushed a little, but it was so light that it was almost invisible.

Although she gave birth to the twins Lisa and Lulu, she actually didn't have a man yet. They were "split".

So when she heard these things, she was inevitably a little embarrassed.

But then her curiosity was aroused: "Why can you make a lot of money?"

"Because we human men are creatures who like this kind of thing."

Claudia looked at Hardy, as if comparing him with the standard, and then nodded with a look of understanding.

Suddenly, Hardy felt that he was insulted by the other party, but he had no evidence.

"Aphrodisiacs and tonic soups are easy to make, and the cost price is low. How much should they be sold for?"

"There are three grades." Hardy said with a smile: "A weakened version for civilians, an ordinary version for wealthy businessmen, and a powerful version for nobles."

"How do you set the price?"

"For example, the civilian version sells for ten copper coins, the wealthy sells for ten silver coins, and the noble sells for one gold coin." Hardy shrugged: "Of course, I'm just suggesting that you can set the price according to your own cost. Anyway, the price of the three price points should be widened, so as to reflect the high-end atmosphere of the noble version."

Claudia looked at Hardy with a playful look: "You are also a noble, is it okay to cheat them like this?"

"I am in the same group with you, okay."

Claudia liked to hear this, she squinted He smiled with his eyes closed: "Well said, let's give it a try."

Hadi thought for a while and said: "I don't really know much about business, but I have two friends who are good at marketing. I can send them to help you in a few days."

"Thank you." Claudia seemed very happy: "During this period of time, our people have actually had a difficult time, but fortunately we have your help. You gave us land and now you are giving us advice. Thank you."

"Family, you are too polite."

"Yes, family!" Claudia stood up: "Do you want me to call Lisa back? She is now leading the construction corps to reclaim land in the desert."

As the future queen, this is Lisa's responsibility and obligation.

"It's okay, there is a long way to go." Hardy also stood up: "I will come to her when she finishes her work."

"I will let her find you." Claudia hugged Hardy gently.

Very gentle, the kind of hug between relatives.

Just a light touch and then loosened.

In Hardy's experience, Claudia's body was very soft and warm, and the strange fragrance was more obvious.

Hardy always felt that he had smelled this smell somewhere, but there was no impression in his memory.

Coming out of the 'palace', Hardy saw Angelina.

The elf woman sitting in the flowers on the roadside with a small belly had a gentle and virtuous temperament.

She was weaving a basket with grass. It must be said that almost all the women of the elves were skillful.

She had been paying attention to the situation around her, and when she saw Hardy coming out, she stood up.

"Why are you waiting here all the time? Aren't you bored?" Hardy walked over and asked.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do... As a pregnant woman, I have privileges now and don't need to work much." Angelina walked up to Hardy and asked, "Are you going back next?"

"Yes." Hardy nodded.

Angelina looked a little disappointed, and then she said, "Why don't we stay here one more night?"

"Not so good." There was no one around at this time, and even if there was someone, they were far away, but he still lowered his voice and said, "Youmi will be there at night, aren't you afraid that she will hear anything?"

Angelina pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

In fact, Angelina did have a way.

That night, she came to Hardy's room, and the two fought heartily for almost the whole night.

The noise was actually quite loud.

But Youmi, who was sleeping next door, didn't react at all.

Then the next day, when Hardy left the elves, Youmi staggered up, looking sleepy.

She looked at the rising sun outside, and then rushed to the door of Hardy's room.

The door was wide open, and the bedding inside was neatly folded.

Then she rushed to the balcony and saw her mother Angelina watering the flower field.

She shouted, "Mother, why didn't you wake me up? I didn't even say goodbye to Hardy."

"I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly." Angelina smiled gently.

"Ah!" Yumi cried out softly with a cute expression, her face full of confusion: "I didn't get up even after he left. It's so late, will Hardy think I'm a lazy girl?" (End of this chapter)
