Chapter 36 (1/2)
In fact, Donne underestimated the impact of mints on Fiona.
He felt that it was only a small change, but for the locals in prandal, it was an unprecedented innovation.
The sweet taste of sugar and the cool and refreshing of mint combined to produce wonderful changes, which conquered the girl in an instant.
Donne asked, ”do you have any plans for this Mint?”
”Can it be mass produced?”
”It's not difficult to make. It depends on the supply of raw materials. It's easy to say sugar, but Mint grass doesn't promote the people here to plant a large number. It's estimated that only those by the river can produce a batch. If there is more, it won't work.”
Fiona thought about it and said, ”if we can, we can set up our own workshop to recruit workers to produce mint candy. In terms of sales, I can contact the peripheral members of the former golden rose family and reorganize a chamber of Commerce to operate.”
Donne raised his eyebrows: ”the golden rose family has been dissolved. Would you like to come to them?”
Fiona is confident: ”as long as there are profits and prospects, I believe they will be willing to come.”
”Well, I'll leave this to you. Now you write to contact those people, and then make an announcement in my name to promote Ellington residents to collect and plant Mint grass. We can buy it at the price of one silver coin per kilogram, but they must protect the beach and don't dig indiscriminately.”
Fiona looked puzzled: ”a kilogram?”
Donne patted his forehead: ”I forgot to tell you, this is the weight unit I formulated... Well, forget it, I'll get you a set of standard tools and a new measurement standard. You can publish it together with the announcement. In the future, all kinds of statistical standards in Ellington will be based on this set of standards.”
”I see. Is there anything else?”
”Not yet.”
”OK... I still want to eat! Give me more!”
Before Fiona got up and left, she stretched out her white little hand again. Like a greedy little girl, she fell in love with the taste just after eating one.
She felt that after eating mints, her mouth felt much fresher.
Donne chuckled: ”eat so much sugar, be careful of tooth decay.”
”Tooth decay? What is tooth decay?”
”Just... Well, forget it, I'll make you a toothbrush.”
As for the toothbrush handle, poor world tree branch
”What is this?”
”Toothbrush, used to clean teeth.”
Donne took out his toothbrush and demonstrated it. Fiona immediately understood the function of this thing. Her eyes lit up: ”good thing!”
Even if you don't know the benefits of brushing your teeth to your mouth, you also know how uncomfortable it is to put things in your teeth. With this toothbrush, brushing your teeth will make your mouth more comfortable.
”Here you are.”
Donne threw the toothbrush to Fiona.
After Fiona went out, Donne immediately got her a set of standard tools with iron ingots, including a meter ruler, a set of weights and a simple balance, the name of scale and several simple calculation formulas.
With these things, in Ellington, Donne can not have a headache for the time being.
After doing this, Donne looked at the remaining mints. He thought of Elia. He joked that he invited her to eat lollipops before. Now there are no lollipops, but there are mints.
Anyway, there was nothing left or right. Donne put away some mints and put the rest in a small bag to send to Elia.
As soon as he came downstairs, he saw Tina cleaning there. Donne said hello: ”Yo, Tina, I'm still busy.”
”Lord.”
Tina turned and saluted Donne. Although there was still a little resentment in the girl's heart, now she figured it out.
In fact, the matter is very simple. Lord is a good man. Seeing that she is tired, she just wants her to have a rest, but she thinks too complicated
All these misunderstandings, in fact, she thought too much.
Lord, you don't even know you misunderstood
Tina peeked at Donne and found what Donne was pulling in a bag.
”Reach out.”
”Ah?”
Tina was stunned. There were more than a dozen round sugar balls lying in her hand.
”This is my mint. Take it.”
When Donne waved his hand and Tina recovered, he had gone out.
Sugar balls?
Tina looked confused, hesitated, picked up one and put it into her mouth.
Then
Lightning cuts through my mind! The exciting and cold smell spread in her mouth. For a moment, the maid was made to shed tears by this strange smell.
Is this poison? It must be poison!
What on earth did I do badly? Lord, why did you poison me?
Tina was so cranky that she stood there motionless.
It was quite a while before she recovered.
”Eh... I'm not dead?”
