Chapter 449 (1/2)
When Donne first arrived in Ellington, he found Mint grass and began to produce mint candy. At that time, he made a bet with Fiona (see Chapters 26 and 27), and Elia was still a witness.
The bet is to make a net profit of 10000 gold coins with mint before the end of the year. If Fiona loses, she will work for Donne all her life.
”Wait!”
Fiona suddenly remembered one thing at this time: ”the bet only said what would happen if I lost, but didn't say what would happen if you lost!”
Donne let it out: ”did I lose?”
”... No.”
”So it doesn't matter, does it?”
”What an unfair bet.”
Fiona tooted her mouth, but there was no annoyance in her eyes.
She did lose.
Although the mint processing industry is now a relatively low priority industry in Ellington, thanks to the great role of the transmission array, mint candy can be transported to Alex in a very short time, and then wholesale to other merchants from there and flow to other countries through their hands.
In just half a year, the small Mint has brought more than 100000 gold coins to Ellington.
When Fiona saw the bill Hilton gave her, she couldn't believe that the humble mints would bring such amazing profits.
She lost miserably, but she was very happy, because it proved that the Lord's vision was completely right.
In prandal, there is no saying of new year. The last day of the cold month has passed, which is the first day of the frozen month. There is no lively festival celebration, no boastful blessings, and some only have simple happy smiles on people's faces.
Having spent the cold month means that the most difficult and dangerous time of the year has passed. Although the frozen month is still cold, it won't make people uncomfortable. Even the door doesn't think of it.
The construction of greenhouses is very smooth. One after another, greenhouses not only meet the requirements of Ellington residents for vegetables, but also have spare power to start exporting fresh vegetables to other cities. The victors, oberlies and Adrians are the first to taste the benefits.
They were naturally surprised to eat such fresh vegetables in the cold winter, but they were even more surprised when they heard that every family in Ellington could enjoy such treatment.
What does it mean that every family can enjoy this fresh vegetable in winter?
This must be a new cultivation technique!
”Anti season planting technology in greenhouse?”
Victor's eyes lit up when he saw the document Adrian took back from the copyright office. From the name alone, he knew that this was a patented technology in a new field!
”It is said that Ellington applied these days and has opened the license. To my surprise, Donne announced that anyone can use this patent for free...”
Princess Aurelia was surprised: ”so generous? It's not his character!”
”It's a good technology, but we don't have to get involved.”
Victor shook his head, pointed to the chair and said, ”sit down and eat first. It's just cooked.”
Adrian looked at the steaming hot pot in front of Victor and couldn't help sighing. In cold winter, eating this hot hot hot pot is really much better than eating bacon and bread. No wonder Victor was completely conquered.
In fact, Victor is not the only one. The hot pot chain that they and Victor have jointly opened has already blossomed everywhere in irus. With novel cooking methods, enough enjoyable taste, various ingredients, fresh taste and enough wine, this cooking method has become a novel trend and is being sought after all over the country.
Especially now it's still winter. After a busy day in the cold weather, groups of people sit in front of the hot hot pot, look at the rolling red oil, smell the aroma inside, pick up a piece of sliced fresh meat, and then take a sip of wine. It's comfortable to make people's fatigue disappear.
These hotpot chains also brought them considerable profits. The empty Treasury became full day by day. Victor finally had the confidence to do something he had long wanted to do. Of course, he was in a good mood.
”Although greenhouse technology is a good technology, it is useless for us. As long as those big farmers will naturally use this patent to produce a large number of vegetables to sell, we will just spend money on vegetables.”
Victor picked up a piece of meat, took a deep breath of the aroma, and then said with a smile: ”compared with the hot pot chain, the actual benefits of the greenhouse are much smaller, and it brings more symbolic strategic significance.”
Princess Aurelia was stunned: ”symbolic significance?”
”Yes, it symbolizes that human beings are finally able to harvest food in the winter when everything withers.”
Victor paused and said, ”if this greenhouse technology can be fully popularized, it will have great strategic significance, so what we need to do is not to figure out how to use this technology, but to find ways to promote this technology as soon as possible.”
”Does that guy provide free authorization to let us promote it as soon as possible?”
Aurelia looked unbelievable: ”is he so kind?”
”Ollie, don't look at people with prejudice.”
Victor sighed: ”in fact, count Downe has helped us a lot in many ways.”
Aurelia doesn't think so. That guy has already exposed his nature. He is a black smelling hooligan at all!
