Chapter 172: Scale

Ariel stretched out her hand, pointed to the plain next to the farmland, and saidβ€”

"I'm lending you the Elemental Car for free in the hope that you'll be able to reclaim more farmland. Of course, I hope that you will cultivate more farmland not for charity, but for my own good. ”

"Mr. Maiyi, you should be planting wheat that grows twice a year, right?"

After getting Mai Yi's approval, Ariel continued-

"That's fine. In the future, every year when you sow seeds, you can rent the element car of our Mermaid Song for free. But correspondingly, when the wheat you have planted is ripe, my mermaid song will ask for the right to be the first to buy. In addition, I hope to buy all your wheat for 5 iron coins a pound. ”

Hearing this price, the joy on Mai Yi's original face disappeared in an instant.

He looked at Ariel in a daze, and after thinking about it, he said, "President Ariel, you ...... It's not a joke, is it? 5 iron coins a pound? You know, last year's lowest wheat price was 1 copper coin a catty, you directly ...... Directly cut in half? ”

In response to Mai Yi's doubts, Ariel also behaved downright and generous, she stretched out her hand, pointed to the plain next to her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mai Yi, if I lend you the elemental machine, how many acres of farmland do you think you can reclaim?" ”

Mai Yi thought for a while and said slightly conservatively: "That...... If three acres can be cultivated in an hour, it may take a little more time to cultivate these wastelands...... But ten acres...... Probably can, right? ”

Ariel did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Last year, the farmland in our Pelican Town yielded about 100 catties of wheat per mu, and according to the market price of 1 copper coin per catty, one acre of wheat can be sold for 1 gold, and three acres is 3 gold." If you double crop a year, it is a total of 6 golds. ”

"After deducting the cost of buying seeds, fertilizing, watering, and then entrusting someone else to carry them, you can probably get 3 to 4 gold income."

"However, if it is ten acres of farmland, one mu is 100 catties, and 5 iron coins are purchased, then one mu is 5 silver coins, and ten acres is 5 gold coins. If it is cooked twice a year, it is 10-gold coins. Excluding costs, that's about 7 to 8 gold coins of net income. ”

"Mr. Maiyi, although the price is cheaper, after using the Elemental Car to reclaim wasteland, your annual income has at least doubled in a year. And we all know that the estimate of ten acres is definitely conservative. The more you can farm, the more money you make. In my opinion, the price of 5 iron coins a pound is not excessive, don't you say? ”

It's actually quite easy to settle accounts.

Especially if you just have a lot of data ready, and then tell the other person the easiest way to calculate, and then let them think a little bit about it to come up with the answer, then this kind of account is the easiest to calculate.

After Ariel's "calculation", Mr. Maiyi's reluctance at the beginning gradually turned into some longing. After all, for an ordinary farmer, it is really great to be able to earn eight gold coins a year and not have to work so hard!

"That'...... Then Ariel's ......! ”

Mai Yi rubbed her hands and said with a little excitement -

"What if...... I mean if! If I had cultivated twenty, thirty, or even fifty acres! You see, there is a lot of open space on our side, and if we really cultivate that much land, are you ...... Is it really possible to buy all of them? ”

Sure enough, it took the bait.

At that moment, Ariel smiled gently and said slowly: "Yes, I will do what I say, and I will never break my word." I will reap as much as you sow. Of course, I won't force you to sell me your own rations as well. I'm not going to do that kind of thing. ”

With Ariel's promise, Mai Yi and his wife immediately had smiles on their faces. They all rubbed their hands together and began to fantasize about the golden coins they were about to earn in the future! Especially Mrs. Mai Yi next to her, with excitement on her face, now said, "President Ariel! You...... You are really good to us! Why would you like to help us like this? In this way, our income has increased several times! ”

Ariel smiled, turned around and beckoned Brad over there, telling him to drive the car onto the main road. At the same time, he turned his head and smiled at the Mai Yi couple behind him and said, "I want to take everyone to make money together." Because only when everyone is rich, I can make money faster and better, and you will be more willing to make money with me, right? ”

Hearing this, the faces of Mai Yi and his wife showed a color of worship, and they watched the president get into the car and walk away.

Once in the car, Ariel flipped through her notebook and ticked off Mai's wheat farm. At this time, the smile on her face disappeared and turned into a feeling of relief.

Napa, who was sitting in the car, looked at the girl, both front paws curled up under her belly, and said, "Looking at the way you look in front of others, who would have thought that you would be so scared now." ”

Ariel continued to frown, slightly forked her sideburns with the end of the pen, and said, "No way, if I, the person in charge, is not confident, how can others believe you?" Let me see...... Then there are cotton fields, vegetable fields, flax fields...... This morning I had to run several farms to get the farmers to do what I wanted. ”

"But in this case, the number of elemental cars in our guild is really not enough...... The element car that Tesla made before doesn't look like it's going to be completed so quickly, and it probably will take a while to get on track...... Alas, I just hope that these things can be done before the end of the busy farming period. ”

For the rest of the day, Ariel pondered these things. She worked hard to communicate with all the farmers around Pelican City, constantly promoting the idea of elemental carts turning over the land and farming.

Some of them, of course, will be as excited as Mai Yi. But there are still some stubborn guys who immediately refuse, after hearing that Ariel wants to buy most of the harvest at half the usual price. No matter how bad it is, it also means that I want to think again.

Ariel couldn't force it, so she could only continue to keep that confident smile on her face, and left after saying a few words to the other party.

After a busy day, Ariel dragged her tired footsteps back to the guild.

Pushing open the door, I saw that the guild members were now gathering together and waiting for her to come back from this venue to have dinner together. Seriously, Ariel was still a little happy to suddenly see such a scene after such a tiring day.

"Everyone eats, everyone eats! Hahaha. ”

Ariel came to her place and sat down. Looking at the neatly arranged food on the table, I couldn't stop smiling.

"President, you want to try today's dinner! Today, Duck is helping out with the cooking! ”

Margaux covered her mouth and said happily.

Ariel turned her head to look at Duck next to her, the berserker looking a little twisted right now. His long hair was tied into a single ponytail at the back of his head, and his slightly shy smile combined with the tear mole in the corner of his eye really made Ariel feel a little urge to let him wear his own clothes.

Duck scratched his face a little and said with a smile: "These days, the president has always cooked for us to eat, but the president has been busy all day long, and he is always calculating something when he doesn't go out." Comparative...... Instead, I seemed to have nothing to do. So I thought...... Why don't I learn how to cook, so I'll do you a little favor. ”

Cream raised her hand, hooked Duck, and said happily, "Hahaha! Everyone, congratulations to this boy from our guild for cooking now! Come! After eating this plate of balls made by him, we can be regarded as good brothers who share weal and pain! ”

Darker seemed a little uncomfortable with Cream's unscrupulous hooking up with himself now. But before he could break free, Tesla on the other side also raised his hand and came up to hook Dark's shoulders together.

The assembler raised the water glass in his hand and smiled happily: "Good brother, don't say anything." Come on, take a bite! ”

Dark: "Ah...... But it's all water...... You don't have to drink water, it's like wine......"

Since Cream and Tesla have both gone up, Brad, who came in at the end (Harmony), hugged this guy from behind and smiled happily: "As long as you are with the guild members, no matter what it is, it will be like wine, right?" Ah, cheese! Come here, too! It's time for us men! Come here! ”

For these men who are now huddled together, Cheese snorted coldly, put a blood sugar fruit into his water cup, and after the water melted slightly, he continued to maintain his unruly attitude and drank the water leisurely.

Looking at this scene, Ariel couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

To be honest, she was really worried at first that Duck would fight too hard with everyone in the final battle, so the other members couldn't accept him for a while.

But now it seems like there's nothing wrong with that. I have to say that as long as he is not injured, his beautiful face can still win the favor of others after all.

"Sister President, come, eat and see."

While Ariel was smiling, Coco on the side put a slice of bread in her dishβ€”

"Today's bread was baked by my own hands, although it may not be as delicious as the elder sister's cooking."
