Black Knight From Blue Star

  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 only sell out more than two thousand bottles a year.

 This is the output when the population was over 100 million, but now that the Elf population is only about 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 produced in tens of thousands of tons, silk is sold in thousands and thousands of pieces every year, and tea is even more outrageous... One hundred grams is equivalent to the price of a bottle of perfume, and thousands of tons are sold for takeout every year.

 Wood carving furniture is the 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 way of trading.

 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. The four-horse carriage of the elves’ foreign trade has lost three of them, just like a person’s limbs have been broken in three. 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 also be good at growing grains such as rice and wheat."

 It is 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 , 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 empathy with wheat and rice. "

　Hardy looked surprised.

 He really didn’t expect that wheat and rice were not species on this plane.

  It is 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 Hadi's face, and then said: "You have been a little weak recently, go to 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 Hadi.

 And Lulu also makes some tonic soup for Hadi to drink from time to time. After drinking it, his waist will indeed feel much better.

The elves are indeed a forest race, and when it comes to using 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. "

 “Make aphrodisiacs and make body-building soup.” Hardy said with certainty: “We can make a lot of money.”

At this time, Hardy felt that what he said was a bit instant. 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 enhancements and needs really the same?

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

Although she gave birth to twins Lisa and Lulu, she actually didn’t have a man yet and they were “split”.

 So when I hear these things, I will inevitably feel a little embarrassed. But then her curiosity was raised: "Why can you make so much money?"

“Because we human males are creatures that like this kind of thing.”

Claudia looked at Hardy, as if comparing him to a standard, and then nodded, with a look of understanding on her face.

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

“Aphrodisiacs and body-boosting soups are easy to get, and the cost is low. How much should I sell them for?”

“It’s divided into three grades.” Hardy said with a smile: “The weakened version used by common people, the ordinary version used by wealthy businessmen, and the strong version used by nobles.”

 “How to determine the price?”

"For example, the civilian version sells for ten copper coins, the wealthy businessman version sells for ten silver coins, and the noble version sells for one gold coin." Hardy shrugged: "Of course, I am just suggesting that you can set the price according to your own cost, anyway. The prices of the three price ranges need to be increased to reflect the high-end atmosphere of the premium version.”

Claudia looked at Hadi with a playful expression: "You are also a noble yourself, how about cheating them like this?"

 “You and I are on the same team, okay?”

Claudia liked hearing this, she squinted her eyes and smiled: "That's good, let's give it a try."

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about business, but I have two friends who are very good at marketing. I can send them over to assist you in two days."

"Thank you." Claudia looked very happy: "Our people have been having 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, a family!” Claudia stood up: “How about I call Lisa back? She is currently 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's a long way to go." Hadi also stood up: "I'll come back to her when she finishes her work."

 “I’ll let her find you.” Claudia hugged Hardy gently.

 Very gentle, the kind of hug between relatives.

 Just a light touch and then released.

 In Hardy's feeling, Claudia's body was soft and warm, and the peculiar fragrance was even 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 among the flowers on the roadside with a swollen belly has a gentle and virtuous temperament.

 She was weaving a basket with grass. It had to be said that almost all the elven women were very handy.

  She had been paying attention to her surroundings, and when she saw Hadi 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 you stay here one more night."

"It's not 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: "Yumi is here at night, are you not afraid that she will hear something?"

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

 In fact, Angelina does have a solution.

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

 There was actually quite a lot of movement.

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

 Then the next day, when Hadi left the elves, Yumi stood up unsteadily, looking like she had not woken up.

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

The door of the room was wide open, and the quilts inside were neatly folded.

 Then she rushed to the balcony and saw her mother, Angelina, watering the flowers in the field.

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

“Seeing you were sleeping so deeply, I didn’t call you.” Angelina smiled softly.

"Ah!" Yumi exclaimed with a very cute expression, her face full of confusion: "He left and I didn't even get up. It's so late. Will Hardy think I'm a lazy girl?" (This chapter) over)
