The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven
Vol 2 Chapter 11: business without money
Costa believed that Miss Thalia would definitely come to him again. Although she tried her best to hide her interest in the high-yielding wheat, her eyes could not deceive anyone.
As for the high-yielding wheat seeds, Costa has to thank another of his patrons, a botanist from France.
The French botanist not only paid for it, but also boarded the same ship as Costa's expedition to the Amazon rainforest.
Thanks to this well-informed botanist along the way, Costa and his expedition will not be wiped out by eating poisonous plants by mistake.
In the depths of the rainforest, they found a relic, but unfortunately there was no gold, no jewels, just when everyone was about to leave in disappointment.
The French botanist shouted excitedly, saying that he had found a treasure. The members of the expedition pushed the botanist away but saw only a wheat field.
Everyone sighed uncontrollably, this botanist is crazy.
But the excited botanist began to introduce his discovery to everyone.
He said that this kind of wheat can at least increase the wheat production in Europe by 10%. It is a food that can change the destiny of mankind, and he will be remembered by this history.
However, he was eventually forgotten by history.
The expedition team members who were motivated by money killed the botanist and buried him under the wheat field.
The expedition team stole the achievements of the botanists, but after returning to Europe, no one bought their account. Instead of selling the seeds, they were repeatedly expelled as liars.
At this time, they thought of another patron of their own, and those rubber tree seeds soaked in the water tank.
Now Costa and his men regard Talia as a fat sheep and want to make a fortune.
"Boss, Miss Thalia is here." A bald man dressed as a farmer walked into the house, interrupting Costa's memory.
"Great, invite her here." Costa said while pouring the medicinal powder into the teapot and shaking it well.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and the bald man walked in with Miss Thalia and a young gentleman.
Costa was a little puzzled. Why was there another person before? Aren't her bodyguards standing at the door?
Thalia smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce, this is Professor Schüssel from the University of Vienna, he is a botanist."
When hearing the botanist, the corners of Costa's mouth twitched twice.
Then it returned to normal. At that time, Miss Talia left to find a botanist to inspect the goods, which can be explained.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Schüssel. My name is Costa, a professional explorer."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Costa. Miss Thalia said that you discovered a brand new variety of wheat." At this time, Xussel specially found a wig to wear, looking like a retro scholar.
"Yes, I found this in a ruin in the Amazon rainforest...."
Eloquently, Costa resumed his tale of adventure, while giving Thalia a wink.
Xussel didn't want to listen to nonsense, so he had to interrupt him, "Can I have a look at the sample?"
"of course can."
Xussel has some knowledge of botany, and he can be sure that this is wheat, but it is bigger than European ones.
Xussel took out a hand-held magnifying glass from his jacket pocket in a decent manner, looked at it for a long time, crushed a few more grains with his hands, smelled the smell, and said seriously.
"It's not wheat, it's the food of the Incas, quinoa."
Costa was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that he was cheated?
Xussel had been prepared for a long time, he immediately took out a thick plant encyclopedia, dipped a little saliva on his fingers, turned the book, finally stopped on a page, and handed it to Costa.
The drawing on the page is very similar to the new variety of wheat in front of me, and the note next to it says quinoa, food of the Incas, native to South America...
Costa was a little speechless. He didn't expect that he would kill people and seize treasures, but what he got in the end was worthless junk.
At this time, Xu Saier felt that it was time to fire, and continued to say, "Miss Thalia, quinoa may appear in different colors when it is ripe, which is very beautiful. Why don't you buy some and plant them in your garden? It is also a very good choice. "
Thalia pretended to be troubled.
"Since you say so, I will pay ten thousand florins for these quinoa seeds."
Schüssel struck while the iron was hot.
"Mr. Costa, it's rare to see someone as generous as Miss Thalia."
Costa gritted his teeth. He didn't know how much quinoa was worth, but he knew that if the botanist said it was true, these seeds would definitely rot in his hands.
It would be better to earn ten thousand florins than to earn nothing at all.
"Okay, let's make a deal for Miss Thalia's sake."
Thalia produced another check and wrote the amount of 10,000 florins on it.
Costa was a little depressed, and his 50,000 florins might be wasted. But he had other plans, so he braced himself.
"Miss Thalia, I have prepared the seeds of the rubber tree. Whenever you want, I can send someone to pick them up. Have you brought your check?"
"Of course, the check is here, a check guaranteed by Rothschild Bank." Thalia took out the check and put it on the table.
Costa checked, the check was genuine, and smiled.
"Miss Talia, wish us a happy cooperation, let's have a cup of tea together." Costa picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Talia. "This is the best British black tea."
Thalia picked up the teacup, smelled it, and said with a smile, "It really is good tea!"
But Thalia didn't drink directly, but said, "Mr. Costa, I want to make a contract, which is good for us."
"No problem, I'll get the paper." Costa turned and left.
After Costa left, Thalia took Costa's cup and sniffed it, then switched the positions of the two cups.
Thalia's operation made Xussel a little confused.
After a while, Costa returned to the room with banknotes and seals.
"It's been a long time, Miss Thalia. Please."
Soon the two sides drew up a contract, Talia touched the teacup and said.
"Mr. Costa, if you don't drink tea, it will be cold. I wish us a happy cooperation."
Thalia drank the tea in one gulp, and Costa touched the teacup, and drank it down just as the temperature was just right.
"Mr. Xussel, thank you very much today. Where do you live, I will ask my men to take you back."
Costa is chasing guests, and Thalia has to wait for the seeds of the rubber tree, so she has to stay. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Xussel looked at Talia, and Talia nodded, indicating that it was okay.
Costa asked Xussel to be sent away, returned to the room very excitedly, and then suddenly said, "You will be mine soon."
"What did you say?" Thalia asked.
Costa realized that he had said something wrong and wanted to correct it, but suddenly everything in front of him became distorted. He couldn't even stand firmly, and he wobbled back to his seat.
"Where am I?" Costa said.
Thalia knew it must be the cup of tea, so she smiled.
"I'm at Franz's. I haven't had any good tea. I can tell there's something wrong with your tea when I smell it. Give me back my check, or I'll sue you at the gendarmerie."
Talia wanted to scare the man in front of her, but the man in front of her really took out the check.
"Did he lose consciousness?" Talia thought to herself.
Those checks have a contract to testify, and it is impossible for the military police to help Talia get it back.
"Then you also tore up the contract."
Costa took out the contract and tore it into pieces.
"Quinoa seeds, do you have any?"
Costa nodded.
"Where are the rest?"
Costa pointed to a large box next to it. Talia opened the box and found a bag of wheat seeds and a small bag of powder that smelled very fragrant.
Thalia put away her things and waved at the window.
Someone opened a big net below, Talia jumped...
Thalia's entourage left after getting the seeds of the rubber tree. Costa's men were a little strange and wanted to enter the room to check the situation, but men's groans could be heard from time to time in the room...
