Chapter 33: The Bread Tree
"Back to Lord Duke, all the dishes on the first floor have been given away today, but not a single dish on the second floor has been sold. Illian said again and again, "Lord Duke, can the price of those dishes be lowered?"
Green shook his head and said, "No need, the skill of the cooking wizard, it's this price, the town is too remote, and it's normal to have no business at the beginning." ”
"You don't have to take it to heart, just do what I say, even if there is no business for the next month. ”
After nightfall, the owner of the town's blacksmith shop and the owner of the grocery store meet.
"Hansen, what do you think of the store opened by His Highness Green?"
Han Sen frowned and said, "It's hard to say, it's a bit weird, normally, the purpose of opening a store is to make money, but His Royal Highness Green gave those dishes to the civilians of the town for free." ”
"In this way, it seems that His Royal Highness Green is accumulating prestige, but if it is really accumulating prestige, there should not be a second floor, at the very least, the dishes on the second floor should not be marked with such a high price. ”
"Unless, those dishes can really match that price. ”
Hans shook his head and said, "It's impossible, the chef of that restaurant escaped from the slave traders not long ago, and in just a few days, it is impossible for his cooking skills to be improved to that level." ”
"Even if she had a foundation in cooking, it wouldn't have been. ”
"I've eaten similarly priced dishes when I was in Wangcheng, but they are the best chefs in Wangcheng, and they have been on the road of cooking for at least decades. ”
"And if the chef's cooking skills really deserve the price, what's the limit of selling a maximum of twenty-nine dishes a day? ”
Hansen hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, what does His Highness Green want to do, we can't analyze it like this, Hans, do you think we should support His Highness Green's restaurant." ”
"Yes, how?"
"Just go to the second floor of the restaurant and order a few dishes. ”
"This ......" Hans hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but the two of us are not rich people, we can support it once or twice, and it will definitely not work if we have more, and it will not help the business of His Royal Highness Green's restaurant, right?"
"Let's put some thought into it. ”
In fact, Green didn't think about it that much at all, since he wanted to train Illian to become a culinary wizard, then a lot of practice was necessary, and practice, he would make a lot of dishes.
These dishes can't be eaten by the people of the Duke's Castle alone, and not many people want to eat them, even if Eliam is a culinary wizard, and the taste of the work when practicing is not so perfect.
Cromo is not a picky eater, but Cromo only likes to eat certain types of food.
If you don't eat food, it's waste.
Grimm travels through the world before he doesn't advocate waste, so Grimm decides to find a good place for these dishes, and the town happens to be inhabited by a group of civilians hovering on the subsistence line.
So Green had the idea and gave away all the dishes that Elian had made during her practice.
As for the idea that only twenty-nine dishes a day will be sold on the second floor, it was brought by Green based on Elion's ability, and now it is okay, these dishes are ordinary, and they only need to consume a certain amount of physical strength and energy.
But once Illion started making the dishes on the Wizard's Cookbook, the cost of making a dish was much higher.
Not only does it require physical and energetic support, but it also consumes mana, and making a dish is the same as preparing a bottle of potion, casting a magic spell, and making an alchemy prop.
Basically, a normal cooking wizard can make more than 20 dishes from the cooking wizard's recipe in a day, which is already considered good, and the dishes on the cooking wizard's recipe are at the same level as the cooking wizard.
And Elian's main job is to serve the Duke of the Castle and Green Green, so naturally the restaurant can't put too much energy.
In addition to that, the twenty-nine dishes also have a bit of a hunger marketing meaning.
However, Green doesn't have a very clear understanding of hunger marketing, and I don't know if he will draw a tiger into an anti-dog, but it doesn't matter, anyway, Green doesn't need to rely on this to make money at the moment.
Cromo accidentally woke up Green, the guy had too much energy, especially in the morning, like many puppies, and when he woke up, he started running like he was running and knocking over a vase.
Fortunately, the vase was made of copper and was not broken.
Green glared at Cromo, who immediately became honest, and after screaming aggrievedly, he lay on the edge of the bed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Green pitifully.
Green ignored it and took out the dimensional cube directly.
“1,2,6,16,44,120,?”
It's another numerical reasoning problem, but the difficulty of the problem has increased compared to the previous times, and at first glance you can't see any patterns, but it's not irregular, at least the numbers are increasing.
Since it is incremental, then equal difference, equal area, and various combinations can be considered.
Green studied it for a moment.
Suddenly, Green noticed a point.
1+2=3。
And twice as many as 3 is 6.
It is quite possible that this is the pattern of this set of numbers.
At this point, Green began to calculate according to his own guesses.
1+2=3,3*2=6。
2+6=8,8*2=16。
6+16=22,22*2=44。
After counting three, Green can basically be determined, and the law of this problem is like this, the sum of the first number plus the second number, multiplied by two, is the third number.
And with that, the answer is on the horizon.
44+120=164。
164*2=328。
The answer is 328.
After Green wrote the answer on the dimensional square, after a short time, the dimensional square confirmed the answer, the question disappeared, and instead, a plant seed the size of a cardinal's egg appeared in front of Green.
Green held the seed in the palm of his hand.
The bread tree, one of the staple food fantasy plants, has the main characteristics, high yield, ripening in all seasons, and can produce thousands of fruits a year, basically nearly a thousand fruits a month.
Moreover, the bread tree fruit is large and rich in energy, and a loaf of bread can fully provide the needs of an adult meal.
Compared to Golden Corn, this is a more pure staple food fantasy plant, which does not provide magical powers, but only replenishes basic energy and trace elements necessary for the human body.
That is to say, eating a bread tree fruit is equivalent to eating a set meal, and the bread tree fruit contains grains, meat, fruits, vegetables, and all of these things.
The breadtree fruit is equivalent to an all-round food.
However, the fruit of the bread tree is not completely without its shortcomings, the first point is that the growth cycle is too long, and the growth cycle of ten years will not bear fruit for ten years after planting.
But this is nothing for wizards, and ripening magic can solve this problem.
The second point is that it is not conducive to preservation, after the bread tree fruit is picked, it must be eaten within a day, otherwise it will rot and give off the smell of rotten meat, which is very unpleasant.
Wizards also have the means to preserve, but the cost is too high for ordinary people to use.
The third point is taste, usually, the taste of fantasy creatures is stronger than that of ordinary creatures, but the taste of bread tree fruit is not much different from the taste of white bread.
Therefore, bread trees are not so popular in the wizarding world.
But for Green, the arrival of the bread tree seed was just right.
