Chapter 60: A Vegetable Garden Comparable to a Dark Gold Prop
"It's as valuable as gold, so exaggerated?"
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised by this slightly exaggerated metaphor.
Hannah nodded and said, "That vegetable garden is the most valuable part of the whole manor, and it is known as the soil of life in the manor. ”
"Although the yield of vegetables in it is not high at all, the value of each one is quite high, and it is an excellent ingredient comparable to those who cherish the monsters."
"If you want to buy vegetables and fruits produced in the living soil, each tree will cost at least five gold coins, and the best quality can even be sold for fifty gold coins, and the output in the living soil alone will bring more than five thousand gold coins to Lord Petra every year!"
Hannah sighed and introduced to Chu Ge that when she was a child, she also felt extremely incomprehensible about Petra's transformation of the manor, and felt that it was really stupid to transform from an elegant manor owner to a working farmer, and it was not until she really understood the huge benefits behind this act that she knew how naïve her original idea was.
"5,000 Gold Coins......
Even Chu Ge couldn't help but feel smacked at this number, even a slightly better dark gold-level equipment seemed to be worth about 20,000 gold coins.
"Vegetables for fifty gold coins...... Will anyone really come and buy it? ”
He couldn't help but wonder a little, such glitz once again refreshed his impression of Midgar, and it seemed that the decline of the entire Arkaya Empire was not unreasonable.
However, when you think about the sky-high menus of his father's entertaining guests, it seems that there is nothing surprising that in the real world, ingredients that often cost thousands of dollars are not uncommon, and this situation seems so normal in Alcaya, where the class gap is more obvious.
Compared to what special effects these vegetables have, Chu Ge prefers to believe that this is the result of hype.
First to renovate the manor to attract people's attention, and then to mark a string of eye-catching prices, let some big people to publicize, make it a part of the aristocracy and celebrities to show off to each other, only then did they fully grasp the business opportunities in their hands, and the quality of the ingredients was indeed very good, and finally made this golden chain continue to operate.
Is she really a shrewd woman, or is it the work of our political officer?
Chu Ge silently chewed on the name Eddie for a while before chuckling, it seems that there are still many things he doesn't know.
Looking at Chu Ge's expression, Hannah thought that he had a yearning for the environment within the soil of life, so he said very understandingly:
"Well, now that the work in hand is almost done, you should be curious about what it's like inside, while the workers come to carry it, let's go in and have a look."
"Huh? Can it really be? Chu Ge was stunned.
Hannah smiled and said:
"If you're careful, you shouldn't be fine. Although Mistress Emily seems to be very strict, she is actually a very kind person, and she has been acknowledging your work for the past few days, and maybe she will send you to work in it after a while. ”
"Anyway, it's actually just a beautiful vegetable garden, and I was really nervous when I first went in to work, but after getting used to it, it didn't matter, they were just like any other child, they can thrive as long as they are cared for."
Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully, the girl named Hannah was unusually nervous in some ways.
"I'll be careful."
After telling the head maid what he meant, the other party's cold expression did not change much, but said to Hannah:
"Now it's time to pick, you can go in and help them, Ino can only watch from the sidelines."
"I'll keep an eye on him!" After playfully sticking out her tongue at the maid, Hannah smiled and pulled Chu Ge in.
From the outside world, this vegetable garden surrounded by a white stone wall is about the size of a football field, and Chu Ge has always been misled by the word "vegetable garden", which makes his impression of the land he has never met not very good, at most he only stays at the concept of a gold coin making machine.
However, when he actually entered it, he understood why the scene in front of him was called the soil of life, and only this glamorous name was worthy of it!
A gorgeous park made Chu Ge, who was in it, feel the surprise he had when he first saw this manor.
Clear streams flow on both sides of the path, delicate grains of white sand are deposited in the water, and there are unique small buildings hidden among the green plants leaning against each other; The swings, the hanging bells, and the vines entwined with the fruit are not orderly, but they bring a kind of perfection that is unique to nature.
Each of the plants that grows in it has its own unique characteristics, some bloom beautiful flowers, some bear huge fruits, and some have just sprouted...... The air is filled with a refreshing fragrance, and the exuberant vitality makes people want to indulge in the past like this.
Those flowers and fruits don't seem to grow to earn gold, just to decorate this beauty!
"Did I come to the elves' secret realm ......?"
In addition to being shocked, Chu Ge also felt a trace of abnormality, this kind of scene was definitely not something he had never seen in his previous life, but in Midgar? In such a manor?
It's crazy!
For the absurdity in front of him, the only emotion he can express now is this.
Ten minutes ago, he blamed the high value of his products on the luxury of the upper echelons of celebrities, and now it seems that it is indeed groundless, and it is not entirely unreasonable.
"Is there really some secret in this land? But with this kind of business attitude, even if there is a secret, it would have been dug up by those greedy alchemists a long time ago, is it really just a simple soil quality? ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Chu Ge's eyes, he would never be naïve to think that he was the first person to discover these anomalies, on the contrary, it was precisely because of this that he was puzzled that the manor could always maintain the status quo!
After coming inside, Hannah didn't start working immediately, but took Chu Ge to sit on the swing next to the stream, and then casually picked two strange fruits from the vines that were wrapped around the swing, put them in the clear stream and rinsed them, and then handed them to Chu Ge.
"Eat it, it's my favorite!" The girl's expression was slightly red, and the outstretched hand trembled faintly.
Chu Ge didn't pick it up, he hadn't forgotten what the girl had said to him before, he said with a smile:
"I remember that your salary is just over one gold coin a month, and if I eat this bite, you may be in vain this year."
