"Two days shortened to one day?" President Pompeii was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "How is that possible. If you say that it will be shortened to a day and a half, then I will let my men fight for their lives and buy more better horses, maybe it will be possible. But it was shortened to one day...... Unless there is a road connecting Bonta City to Anvimar City. ”

"Don't think about this for now. Xu Yi shook his head. "The roads that our two families are building now are just a real thing that His Majesty has done, and only after these two roads are completed, and His Majesty feels that the effect is good, will he implement the construction of roads throughout the kingdom. As for the construction of a road connecting the city of Bangta and the city of Anvimar, it is not known when it will be completed. ”

President Pompeii nodded dejectedly, "Yes." If all the places in our country of Lampari were connected by roads, our carriage and horse business would be much better. ”

"This is the second time I've heard someone feel that way today. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Rest assured, as long as more and more people appreciate the convenience of roads, I believe that sooner or later all roads in the Kingdom of Lampari will be turned into smooth roads. ”

"I also believe that the question is how long? I can't wait that long now. President Pompery sighed and looked at Xu Yi: "President Xu, what you said about improving from ourselves shouldn't be talking about highways, right?"

"Yes, I'm talking about something more realistic, and that's the wagon itself. Xu Yidao.

"The carriage?" President Pombéry thought for a moment, frowning. "What's there to improve the carriage? There doesn't seem to be much to do but get a better horse, right? The problem is that better horses are more expensive and feed is expensive. I can't afford it. ”

"Horses can be replaced by something else, but not yet. I'm looking for you this time, and I'm talking about the car. ”

"Car?" said President Pompei, even more puzzled. "Can there be any improvement in the car?"

"Absolutely. Xu also nodded affirmatively. "Just now I saw a convoy of the Sarank Chamber of Commerce on the road. Then I observed that the wagons used by their convoy were all wooden, right?"

"Of course, the carriages of our carriages, whether they transport people or goods, are all made of wood, so what's wrong with that?"

"Don't you think...... Is it easy to break down a carriage made of wood?" asked Xu Yi.

"Of course I know that. But you can't always make it all out of iron, right? I've tried to make a carriage out of iron, but the problem is that it's not just heavy. Neither horse can be pulled, and the cost is too high. The carriage I tried to build last time that could seat four people cost me nearly two hundred gold coins! How do you think I can afford it? You must know that the carriage we are now made of wood costs less than twenty gold coins. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh, the carriage made of iron throughout?

"I didn't say it's all made of iron, of course not. I mean, for a carriage, it's the most worn and the most susceptible to breakage. It's not the body, it's the wheels and rollers, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. President Pompeii nodded. "But I tried. If you use iron rollers and wheels, the weight will still be much greater. And it's actually easier to deform than wood. In addition, the cost of wooden wheels was several times that of wooden wheels, so I finally gave up. ”

"How many times more expensive than wooden wheels?" Xu was a little strange. "That's not right, in my opinion. Iron should be cheaper. The right wood for wheels and rollers should be much more expensive than iron, right?"

"President Xu, this is what you don't understand. The material of iron though is much cheaper than wood. But to build the same wheel and roller, the blacksmith is much more expensive than the carpenter. If you do the math. On the contrary, iron wheels are several times more expensive. President Pombéry replied reluctantly.

"Smack-"

Xu Yi suddenly slapped his face and said with a smile: "That's it!"

President Pompei looked at Xu Yi inexplicably: "What do you mean by this?"

Xu Yi smiled: "President Pompeiry, if I sue you that I can sell you a set of iron rollers and wheels at a cheaper price than wooden rollers and wheels, would you be interested?"

"Are you kidding?" said President Pompeiy. "How can it be more convenient to make iron......" He suddenly stopped his mouth and looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes. "By the way, isn't that what you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does! I'm so stupid to forget about this! President Xu, can you really provide cheaper iron rollers and wheels?"

"Of course, I could have added something even better, called a tire. Xu Yi replied with a smile.

###

It was already dark when he left Fillson's carriage and horses, and by the time he returned home, night had already fallen.

As soon as he walked in the door, he saw a shadow flash in front of him, and Yanis suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Lord, you're finally back!" Yanis exclaimed excitedly, took Xu Yi's hand, and dragged him towards the door.

Xu was also a little strange: "Yanis, you seem to be very happy today." ”

"Because today's dinner was made by Anis. Steele's voice came from inside the room.

When he saw Yanis holding Xu Yi's hand in, Steele's face changed slightly, he stood up, and quietly snatched Xu Yi's hand that was held by Yanis, and continued with a smile: "You haven't come back for so long, and the food is going to be cold." ”

Xu Yi looked at Vivian on the side in surprise, and then at Steele: "Didn't you say that you two will cook tonight, why did you change it to Yanis again?"

Steele shrugged, "That's what you have to ask Anis." She saw Vivien and I preparing to cook, and she didn't know what was going on, and suddenly she yelled that she was going to cook this meal, and we didn't listen to her no matter how much we tried to persuade her. ”

Xu Yi looked at Yanis strangely: "Yanis, have you encountered anything happy today?"

Yanis shook her head, "No." It's just that when I saw Steele and Vivien start cooking, I suddenly remembered that I've been here for so long, but I've been eating Vivian's cooking. According to what you told me last time, Lord, about the common etiquette between human beings, it seems that I should also cook a meal for you and return the favor with this. Am I right?

Xu Yi smiled dumbly: "Although it's not entirely true, it's not wrong." Very well, Vivien, you have learned more and more of the rules that belong to us humans, and I am sure that you will soon be truly integrated into our human lives, as Elder Elucia hoped. ”

Yanis said with some distress: "But every time I go out now, there are still many people pointing at me, and even many people come up to watch. ”

"It can't be helped, who hasn't let them get used to your savings. Xu Yi smiled and patted Vivien's shoulder. "Rest assured, humans get used to new things very quickly. I believe it won't be long before everyone gets used to the existence of your elves. You see, now that a hundred of your compatriots are here now, when they make more appearances in the city, they will gradually become accustomed to this situation, and will no longer be watching and pointing fingers at you. ”

Yanis thought for a moment and nodded, "I hope so." Alright, Lord Grown, you're finally back, so let's hurry up and eat. I don't know what your human eating habits look like, but both Steele and Vivien say that food won't taste good if it's cold, so let's eat it before it's cold. ”

Hearing Yanis say that she didn't understand the eating habits of human beings, Xu Yi suddenly sighed in his heart.

The last time he went to the Night Song Tribe, the food that Elder Elucia entertained to his group of three was actually just some simple fruits and water, which made Xu Yi very angry about the eating habits of the elf clan at that time.

And now that Yanis has emphasized this point again, what the hell should her meals look like?

Seeing Yanis uncover the cover on the dining table, Xu Yi took a deep breath and looked intently.

After just one glance, Xu Yi almost couldn't help but let out a scream.

The contents of the three plates and one soup bowl on the table were all so black that they could not even be seen as they were.

This kind of thing wants Xu Yi to identify with them as normal meals, which is really difficult for strong people.

Looking at Yanis, who was still smiling brightly, Xu Yimulan asked Steele and Vivian, "Hey, did Yanis make these dishes alone?

"Because Yanis didn't show her sincerity when she said that asking someone else to help, she kicked both of us out. Steele replied lightly, and after glancing at Xu Yi, he pursed his lips and snickered: "Dear Elder, Anisco has said that since she came to our human world, you have been the most helpful to her, and this meal she made with her own hands is what she mainly uses to thank you, so ...... You can't live up to Annis's wishes. ”

"Yes, Lord, in order to express my gratitude to you, I made all this meal by myself, can you see how delicious it is?" Yanis said to Xu Yi with a look of anticipation.

Looking at the happy look on Yanis's face, and then looking at the snickering smile on Steele's face and the worry on Vivian's little face, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he showed an extremely bright smile, and said to Yanis: "Okay, let me taste it." ”

After that, he gritted his teeth, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and swallowed a mouthful of food that Yanis kindly brought to his mouth.

In an instant, countless strange smells exploded in his mouth, and Xu Yi only felt as if he was in a wonderful environment all of a sudden, and the air around him became colorful.

At this time, Annis's voice rang in her ears.

"Grown, is it delicious?"

After a while, Xu Yicai slowly and easily spit out two words from his mouth: "Okay...... Eat ......" (to be continued......)
