After Jiao Ming and Ms. Yisi finished chatting, they informed each other of the progress of the rest of the chores, and then there were some gossips and jokes. Ms. Yisi asked Jiao Ming about his relationship with the two beautiful maids, and Jiao Ming replied that it was not. Ms. Yisi asked Jiao Ming about his marriage plan, and Jiao Ming prevaricated by congratulating him on his second marriage, and Ms. Yisi smiled and reminded that there were still a few days left in the original agreement of the 'friendship cannon', and that basic loyalty should be maintained after marriage. Jiao Ming was almost choked to death, and it took a slam to his chest to calm down, and such an impatient performance made Ms. Yisi giggle.

"Don't joke, if that madman is really in trouble. ”

"How many times have I said it, it's not a joke. ”

Jiao Ming stared at the smile on the other side of the village table for a long time, and finally shook his head, no matter what Yisi really thought, he was not in the mood for this after all. One is that there is no emotional foundation, and the other is that there are two other personalities in the heart, and they are commented on when they can't do things, and this kind of private thing is like being watched by others, and people who don't have special habits will feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable. "In that case, it shouldn't be mentioned. That madman won't think about your 'loyalty' and make him forget that it's the best. ”

Ms. Yi Si smiled again, shook her head, and said, "You are really innocent in this regard, and I say 'loyalty' means raising the price." ”

Jiao Ming shook his head, not intending to judge his partner's attitude towards life, but realized that discussing this kind of thing with this kind of woman in the year of the tiger and wolf was completely asking for trouble, so he thought about it and pulled the topic back to the beginning, and said the method he just thought of: "Don't talk about this, about the concrete impermeability additives of that family, whether I can buy a small number of samples, I will take it to the laboratory to analyze it and see if it can be reversed." ”

"It's simple, is half a liter enough?"

"Try it. "Thinking about it, this is the amount of a bottle of beer, and then divide it among the two magic research institutes of Tro Ling and Crocodile Leader, Jiao Ming is not completely sure whether it will be successful or not.

The atmosphere at the dinner table fell silent for a while, and it was not until Jiao Ming pushed open the plate that Ms. Yisi hesitated to speak: "In view of the industrial plan you proposed, the Kingdom Agent has conducted some investigation on yourself, I hope you don't mind." ”

"Understandable. Jiao Ming nodded, although he was unhappy, he did not naively express his dissatisfaction, this kind of action is the proper meaning for a kingdom, even if he faces a stranger who makes a suggestion, he will give birth to the idea of the other party's details, but there is no low-cost means. "So is there a plan to make the decision-makers of the Red Mountain Kingdom trust me a little?"

"Unfortunately, no. It's just that there is another side of the story, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. There was more hesitation on Ms. Esi's face.

Jiao Ming was puzzled, and he couldn't think of anything that could make this woman who didn't take the 'friendship cannon' seriously this time, "Please speak." ”

"Then I'll say more. I don't know if you really don't know about the relationship between the three things of the magical aristocratic family about getting married, leaving an heir, and having a bed, or if you are pretending to be confused. After a pause, Lady Yisi said solemnly, "But I want to warn you that a twenty-two-year-old female young lord who is not married and has no children, even if she is a hard-hitting water magic warrior, will face a very great pressure. ”

"Huh?" Jiao Ming was stunned and asked, "You mean Ice Lotus?"

"Yes, here in the Red Mountain Kingdom, it is not surprising that the girl is forced to marry at any time. Ms. Yi Si stared at Jiao Ming's expression and continued: "The intelligence shows that your wedding with Binglian is halfway through, and I have no intention of exploring the specific relationship between you, but I just hope that you will not leave lifelong regrets. Of course, there are concerns from friends and worries from partners, and I can't get off the ship of reformers, but I don't want it to sink completely because of your low will. ”

After being silent for a long time, Jiao Ming could only thank him dryly, and until he was sent out of the door, his mind was still a mess, even though his heart was awkward, but could he really accept Binglian to marry a wife? Gradually, a clear answer came to mind, absolutely not.

... What is absolutely not going to work, what are you kid doing here with a stupid pestle? Let me guess, this is the door of Eth's ugly bastard, and this satiety. Mmmm, could it be that the woman invited you to a candlelight dinner, and then there was a big fight, you didn't play well and failed to satisfy others, you were kicked out of bed and then swept out of the house, and the pestle is here to think about exercising skills, and next time 'absolutely not' is so useless?...

The corners of Jiao Ming's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly, communicating with the magic medium of the qi system, transferring from the vine teleportation array stronghold in Clear Water City, returning to his barony, and finding Ms. Chunhua playing with a big sword like a berserk on the beach, and asked a little about the marriage and love history of the crocodile family, and took over the maniac personality with more and more complicated feelings.

When he woke up after lunch the next day, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, always felt that his right hand and right foot were a little unsmooth, and he asked the drowsy madman personality in his brain. And when I pick it up, it's probably a little casual, after all, the madman personality doesn't care much about his soul, and the soul fragment is sent when he says it, not to mention the body.

However, the normal personality is more worried about whether the crazy personality with hidden tastes has inadvertently angered Ms. Chunyu, an important partner.

... Before I was cut, I said some trash talk, and after I was cut in pain, I also said a lot, as for what the woman thought, the devil knows...

Jiao Ming probably imagined the scene at that time, gritted his teeth and endured for a moment, and called a few times in his heart to confirm that the thing was sleeping, and then he scolded. Then he found Ms. Chunyu and apologized with the greatest sincerity, but when he saw the other party's inexplicable appearance, he asked, "Last night, didn't you cut me because the madman said the wrong thing?"

"Of course not, am I such a cautious person? Ms. Chunyu smiled again, "But I really wanted to tear your mouth last night, and your apology is not wrong, but it is not sincere to say nothing." ”

"How about the magic addiction potion?" Jiao Ming had already seen from the other party's expression that this was just a blackmail joke, and he was happy to cooperate.

"But last night the one told me that the Tro Collar Addiction Elixir is very cheap. ”

Jiao Ming was stunned, his face was slightly red, and he defended: "Drinking is a feeling, and talking about money is too vulgar." ”

"I'm just a layman. Ms. Chunyu waved her hand, "The dishes in that red Chinese restaurant are good, so it's good to treat me to another meal when you have time." ”

"A word is a certainty!" Jiao Ming also laughed, and asked again: "It was a bit casual when I continued the severed limb last night, the crocodile collar has a lot of experience in this area, is there any way?"

Chunyu pulled his arm and touched it, "It's simple, just interrupt and pick it up." ”

"Jokes?"

"Seriously, if you can't do it, I can help. ”

"Thank you!" Jiao Ming pulled back his arm violently, took a half step back, and asked, "Is there a way not to hurt?" or wait a little longer for it to smooth itself out. I don't have a combat mission, it doesn't matter if my writing is awkward, it's not in a hurry. ”

"You can't bear this pain, no wonder the 'crazy personality' says you're a soft egg. ”

"It's useless to provoke the general!" Jiao Mingqiang defended, not sure in his heart whether the other party was a 'radical general' or really thought so, "The effect is the same, and it is human nature to choose a way that is not painful." ”

Chunyu was noncommittal, smiling and letting the matter go. Jiao Ming's heart trembled, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "That madman still wants to fight?"

"You guessed it! and said they were going to me. A smile spread on Ms. Chunyu's face: "So don't worry, I'll change it back tonight." ”

"Should I say thank you?"

"No thanks. This is what I should do. ”

After saying goodbye to Ms. Chunyu, Jiao Mingyou went to inspect the teleportation circle of the new four-vine combination, and chatted with Zhuoshan for a few words to confirm that everything was normal. It's just that the magic vines of the scorching fir and the green worm only have the blessing of qi magic, but they do not have the characteristics of water magic, and their vitality is only at the level of ordinary plants, and they grow slowly and are a little unadapted to the tropical climate, and the formation time of the magic circle may be longer than expected.

"It's okay, slow work makes fine work. Jiao Ming comforted. A closer look did reveal that the two creepers were a little wilted, but I thought that this plant, which is known for its resistance to pruning, would not be so weak, and it would be fine to slow down a little under careful care. Then he asked, "Emily's brother didn't make a fuss, did he?"

"No, but I can't hold it anymore. Zhuoshan shook his head, "I've been in the crocodile collar for the past two years, but I've been tortured enough by such a half-grown child, I can't imagine that I can't escape from here." ”

Jiao Ming smiled, sensing the spatial fluctuations that could not be tasted on the drawings produced by the half-finished magic circle, and at the same time asked Zhuoshan to talk about the crocodile collar's 'child-raising' experience. It is rare to have this opportunity, and the burning fir poured bitter water, but it also emitted a lot of the stuffiness accumulated in his heart.

"By the way, I remember that your wife was pregnant two years ago, how about it?boy girl?" When the other party complained about it, Jiao Ming started a new topic.

Zhuo Shan really showed a smile unique to a new father, "Boy, greedy for food and sleep, and very clingy." ”

Jiao Ming was dazzled by this expression, congratulated twice, and opened the topic to chat, but heard the sound of brisk footsteps coming from behind him. Turning his head to see, it was Toniche, who was in the mood to act as a little maid when he had nothing to do, running with a smile on his face while holding a telegram note.

As if he was a pet dog, he was intimate for a while, and then carried little Tony on his shoulder, Jiao Ming took the telegram note, on which was Ms. Yisi's invitation to meet. Please keep busy, dismantle little Toniche again, and teleport to Clear Water City, pondering on the way whether to make a mark at Yisi's house to save trouble. When we met, we were not polite, and we went straight to the point.

"Samples. Ms. Eth pushed over a wooden box.

Since he was not a fire magician and did not have the ability to inspect the goods, Jiao Ming simply didn't bother to look at it, and asked, "The process is not smooth? You seem to be in a bad mood." ”

Yi Si nodded, "I have already dispersed the matter of your construction of a factory to recruit people, and the family will naturally hear about it." This time, I asked someone to buy this thing, and they had already prepared for it, and the word came out in reverse. ”

"How to say. Seeing that Yisi paused and seemed to hesitate, Jiao Ming answered.

"Five times the price, limited to one ton per year. ”

"How much concrete is mixed with a ton?"

"Your new house cost more than two tons. ”

"Is this the meaning of refusal?" Jiao Ming had expected it, and he was not very surprised. The Sea View Lord's Mansion that he gave himself is not large, and the volume is slightly less than the ordinary eight-storey, four-unit residential building in Birdbeak Town, and a little conversion shows that this ton is a drop in the bucket for the civil engineering construction plan of the territory.

"Almost. ”

"In this way, this bottle of sample can't be fake, right?" It is normal for Jiao Ming to have this suspicion, after all, the channels used by the trustee to buy it have all been reverse osmosis.

"People are confident. Ms. Yisi shook her head, her expression becoming more indignant, "In the past two hundred years, there have been many people who have been jealous of this businessman, and this additive is a commonly used thing, and the outflow cannot be controlled at all. But no one ever cracked it, and over time, the family became confident. The annoying place is here, in addition to those harsh conditions, we were also given this bottle for nothing. ”

This is indeed a provocation, but Jiao Ming, who was born as a civilian, did not have a particularly strong sense of humiliation, and simply persuaded him not to be angry, and asked about the specific output, after all, if the cracking time is too long or unfortunately fails, he must still be stabbed.

"I've inquired, the family's average annual shipment in recent years is 12,000 bottles, and the record is 10 years ago, selling 20,000 bottles, which translates to about 11 tons and 18 and a half tons. By the way, that year happened to be the death of the old family owner, and it was rumored that he died of exhaustion. ”

"Even if you buy them all, it's not enough. Jiao Ming shook his head and sighed, a bad expectation was confirmed.

"Is your goal to replicate the size of Birdbeak Town?" said Miss Eth in surprise. The huge objective gap between the two places, coupled with the lack of magic craftsmen in Central, made her think about this aspect at all.

"Why not?" Jiao Ming smiled, satisfied with the other party's expression. "And if the reform plan goes well, the entire Red Mountain Kingdom will ...... Well, this family wouldn't have anticipated this situation and turned against us strenuously, right?"

It's simple. If the entire Hongshan Kingdom is building a large number of buildings, the amount of additives will inevitably go to heaven, and for this family, even if all the members are exhausted, it will not be satisfied. In the face of national pressure, if the method of raising prices and adjusting supply and demand advocated by the free economy is used, the extermination of the clan is certain, and sharing the recipe with other fire mage families to expand production is the only way to survive.

Ms. Yi Si has a merchant fleet under her name, and she is more or less a merchant, and after being slightly mentioned by Jiao Ming, she understood the trick and shouted, "It must be so." Well, let me think about it, maybe I can break through with this. ”

Jiao Ming shook his head and sighed at two things. The first is that such acts are indeed everywhere. The second is to lament the difference in cultural background.

In my own opinion, this kind of behavior is quite immoral, at most it is a 'traitor' who makes the country difficult to make money, and I always do not know the general situation, and Gu Xiaojia does not care about 'everyone', but as the most orthodox ruling class of the kingdom, Ms. Yisi does not seem to have any intention of accusing this point, and she also thinks that it is right.
