Chapter 197: Fertilizer and Water Do Not Flow to Outsiders' Fields
"I see."
Fugui understood what Gagir meant, she planned to hand over the construction and development of the wasteland to the merchants, the big businessmen of this world used the rich to describe the country as a problem, they shot, money is not a problem, and the businessmen involved in this matter will definitely be able to get enough profits from it, and the resistance encountered will be solved by her, so as to form a win-win ending that promotes strengths and avoids weaknesses and complements each other.
Obviously, Gagir is completely different from the big grin he seems, and everyone who can climb to a high place is not simple...
"Would you like to get involved?"
Suddenly, Gagir said again.
"The development of the wasteland is a huge plan, building roads is one thing, and other aspects also need the help of other merchants, so I invited a lot of caravans along the way."
"I said, why haven't I seen a caravan from the West Coast these days."
Fugui said before that between large and medium-sized caravans, except for the kind of group caravans that have only appeared in recent days, as long as they are independent caravans, for their own safety, they will keep a distance from other caravans, but if they are on the opposite side, they will generally not deliberately avoid it.
"What do you think?"
"Of course I do, but a fool doesn't want to."
After shaking the leather coat on his hand and making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, Fugui handed the clothes to Gagir as well.
"What is this?"
Gagir looked at the leather blouse, which also had a soft lining and was very well made, but when she opened it, she found that there was something wrapped in it, two round pieces of cloth spliced together.
"This, let Ciri tell you, I'm a man, it's inconvenient."
Glancing at the bra he sewed, Fugui got out of the car very interestingly, outside the car, the mercenaries were making lunch, anyway, the car had stopped, so they simply made lunch first, in fact, it usually does not stop at noon, and only at night can you eat hot meals.
"Hey, it's a double happiness."
Listening to the faint laughter in the carriage, Fugui couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing, the road through the wasteland, such a big move, he can definitely drink a little soup here, of course, that's all.
Gagir has already said that he invited a big businessman, and a person of her status can say that he is a big businessman, it must not be small, he is not competitive with others, and then there is, whether it is construction or any other action, the wasteland and the people living in the wasteland will inevitably usher in change, the wasteland seems to have nothing, but who knows how deep the water is, not to mention anything else, just the huge amount of wind antelope meat every year, is it really not bad to be taken away by the empire? Once the wasteland is reformed, will the interests be touched?
Human nature is greedy, and there are also bad people in the thriving Char Empire, big businessmen can not be afraid, small businessmen like him who have no foundation should not be too involved, so as not to be killed in a daze, give advice, sell things, and by the way, just mix the favor of a big demon hunter, the most important thing is to have self-knowledge, know when to do something.
--- dividing line
"The wasteland... Reform.. Plan.."
It took more than a day to sort out the first-order alchemy of the Heavenly Body and give it to Xiri, and Gajir continued to sweep the wilderness in a desperate manner, and Fugui's convoy also turned around and moved in the direction that Gajir had guided.
On the one hand, he is not an expert in this area, and can only rely on the experience of his previous life, so he basically writes wherever he wants, and it is easy to forget it if he does not record it.
"You're making rapid progress."
Hearing Ciri's reading, Fugui didn't look up at her, but he still praised her, this is what he said in his heart, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages on the planet to learn, and Ciri's ability to recognize so many words so quickly is enough to prove that his talent is very good.
"It's ok.."
Ciri smoothed her hair and stared at Fugui's back, and after a long time, she finally took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"That.. When this mission is over, I will resign and stay with you. ”
"What? Wake up and can't do without me? ”
Hearing this, Fugui put down the pen in his hand, turned his back against the desk, looked at Ciri, who seemed to be a little restrained, and joked with a smile.
"No.. It's not, it's just.. A billion, I.. I may not be able to pay it off in my life, so instead of letting the guild siphon off some of the money every year, it would be better for me to resign directly, and in this way, I don't have to force some mandatory symptom tasks during the end of the contract, which is... It is that you may have to pay a termination fee, and the price of green herbs will increase a lot."
Ciri lowered her head, as if there were some pretty flowers on the blanket on the ground.
"It's okay, there is such a sentence in the 'Lost Language', it is called 'Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders', I have invested so much in you, and now if someone else wants to hire you, it is absolutely impossible for me to agree, so you can stay with me in the future."
After pondering for a moment, Fugui nodded slowly, he didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, but he didn't plan to be too anxious to pierce the last layer of window paper, even if he could feel the change in Ciri's attitude towards him like Gagir, because in his opinion, now he and Ciri have a mutual affection at most, not to talk about love, and how much of this favor is because of money, he can't say for sure.
In the heart of wealth, the vast majority of people in the world have never had true love in their lives, some people once said that love can not stand the test, in fact, this is the opposite, can not stand the test, that is not called love, real love can not only share weal and woe, but also enjoy happiness, that is a kind of no blood, but more intimate than blood relationship, by no means get up, spend money to get something, just like that word, ask what is the love in the world, teach life and death, this should be a poem that describes the highest state of love.
"Well, and, that.. What does fertilizer water mean? ”
"Fat water.."
Fugui smiled, and did not debunk Ciri's attempt to change the subject to cover up his somewhat embarrassing behavior.
"To be exact, it can be considered an alchemical product, you know that we humans have to eat, animals, monsters, beasts, and even weird people have to eat, and plants are the same, but plants are through a way that is not easy for humans to detect, so many people will think that plants don't need to eat."
"Oh! I see. ”
At this moment, Ciri habitually incarnates as a little fan girl, not a sycophant, but the kind from the heart, in Ciri's heart, there seems to be nothing that Fugui doesn't know, and what's even more amazing is that many complicated things, after his description, will become easy to understand.
"Of course, what do specific plants eat, how to eat, I won't go into details, there are a lot of principles of alchemy involved here, I don't understand those principles, you can't understand what I said, and then we say this fertilizer water, you can think that this kind of fertilizer water is equivalent to one of the food of plants, and it is more abundant than the food that plants normally eat, after all, it is made of alchemy."
"I see!"
Ciri smacked his fist lightly.
"So, I just don't want this nutritious fertilizer to flow into other people's wheat fields!"
"Clever."
"So, what exactly is fertile water? It's the first time I've learned that plants need to eat..."
"Really want to know? Don't be disgusted. ”
"I've killed ghouls, what's more disgusting than them?"
"That's right."
Fugui shrugged.
"The most common kind of fertilizer water is manure, human, animal, manure, in the wild, manure will be converted into fertilizer by itself, infiltrate into the soil, waiting to be eaten by plants, of course, you can also collect manure centrally, after alchemy treatment, the same can become fertilizer water that plants can 'eat'."
"Okay.."
Ciri frowned, although she had been through a hundred battles, she was somewhat sick to her stomach at the thought that the wheat she ate had grown up eating dung.
"Wait.. (╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻, you just said that fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields, so isn't that a metaphor for me as fertilizer water? ”
"Hah!"
Looking at Ciri's little expression, Fugui almost laughed, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Ciri and let him sit on his lap.
"I've learned a lot of ground, and I still remember the rhetorical device of metaphor, but today I'll teach you a new knowledge point, which is called a common saying..."
....
"Good day, second brother."
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
Outside a wasteland-style tent, men were washing under the service of servants, and out of the tent next door came a young girl, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.
"I'm bored, I thought it would be fun to go out with you, but I ended up staying here for so long"
"Our Leverwater family is just a small family in the entire Char Empire, no matter what the final result is, it is our honor to be invited by Ms. Gagiel, we should come over earlier, besides, we are not idle these days, our people get along with the people of this tribe quite happily, and it is easier to talk about anything."
The man took the towel from the servant and wiped his cheek.
"It's said that the wasteland has a dry climate, but I've seen it."
"yes, so I didn't even wash my face, I just brushed my teeth and wiped the dirt from the corners of my eyes."
"You're smart.."
"Second brother! You see, it's Lady Gagir! ”
Suddenly, the girl stretched out her hand and pointed in the distance, in fact, she didn't see anyone, but the shock that Da could feel from such a distance, and the speed like lightning, was near Gagir's own tribe, so it could only be Gagir.
"Well, really."
The man was more cautious and watched for a moment, but just a moment Gagil had already rushed into the tribe and galloped in the direction of the largest tent that belonged to her.
"Ms. Gagir is really good at choking the time, just in time for the meeting to start tomorrow."
"Second brother, there seems to be a caravan in the back, and the one who came with Ms. Gagir will be a big caravan."
After Gagir's speed, in the wasteland, a caravan could be seen in the distance heading in the direction of the tribe.
"Probably not."
The man glanced at him from afar, then shook his head.
"There are no flags, and the scale is not large, it should be an independent businessman, and I guess like us, I was invited by Ms. Gagir on the road."
"Young master, if I'm not mistaken, the person leaning out of the car window and looking out should be Mr. Stadter."
On the side, the witcher, who had been standing beside the man, spoke, and from his slightly hideous eyes, it could be seen that he was using the Eagle Eye technique at the moment.
"Stadt?"
Hearing the name, the girl was a little suspicious.
"Brother, do you know this person?"
"He is my father's youngest brother and our uncle, but after the family split up two years ago, he left the family, and you were sent by your father to the Golden City to learn alchemy when you were three years old, so it's normal that you don't have an impression of him."
"No, I have a good memory, I should remember even when I'm three years old."
"That's because he is a very withdrawn person, in my impression I have never seen him interact with anyone in the family, except for the time when I can see him every day when I am studying alchemy, the rest of the time I basically don't even go out of his own room, how can you see him at the age of three, he even left quietly when he was separated, after a few days I learned that he had already left the Leverwater family, and later I heard that he went to the state-owned alchemy workshop in Rock City, I didn't expect to see him here."
"Brother, have we been there to say hello?"
"Hmm... Go ahead, anyway, it's also my father's brother, and besides, he's a businessman, so there's no chance of cooperation. ”
"Then give me your towel and I'll wipe my face."
“...”
--- dividing line
"There are a lot of people."
Fugui leaned out of the car window and looked at the tribe in front of him, surrounded by merchants and their trucks everywhere, keeping a distance between them, so it was not so easy to find a position near the inside, but there was no need to drill inside, as long as it was around the tribe, in the territory of the great witcher, as long as the brain was fine, no one would dare to mess around, especially Gagir had the keyword of killing in her character, and if she provoked her, it was basically equivalent to the death penalty.
"Let's go there."
Finally, Fugui stretched out his hand and pointed to a clearing and said to the mercenary on a war horse outside the carriage.
"Yes, boss."
Turning around, Fugui looked at Ciri, because of Gagir, the wilderness has been very peaceful these days, so as long as it is daytime along the way, Ciri spends most of his time studying Gagir's alchemy codex, in Ciri's own words, there is a very good harvest, although the content of this codex is very profound, but I can't stand Gagir's experience, to say that it is disgusting, it is like chewing and feeding it to children.
"I saw that Lady Gagir has also returned, and in a moment we will go to her and ask her to leave the rest to you."
"Hmm."
Ciri took a deep breath, closed the codex, and then carefully tucked it into her arms, for her, this is the second thing second only to wealth and safety, and she will not feel at ease if she does not put it close to her.
"Boss, someone is looking for you."
Not long after Fugui's truck stopped in the open space, the mercenaries were busy camping there, and a mercenary came to the outside of Fugui's car.
"Looking for me?"
Fugui grabbed his hair, casually pushed open the car window, and looked out of the window, it turned out to be a man with a girl, he didn't know the girl, but he knew the man, although he basically didn't communicate with this man, but with the excellent memory of the alchemist, he still knew that this was his nephew, one of his brother's sons, of course, it was a nephew, he was much older than Fugui, and he should be in his thirties now.
"Uncle Stadt, long time no see."
Seeing Fugui sticking out of the car window like this, without the grace of a nobleman, the man was not too surprised, because he knew that this man had never cared about these things, and since his grandfather died, he had become less and less like a nobleman.
"Stadt.."
Fugui, who was holding the window frame with his two hands, was slightly stunned, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"It's been a long time since anyone called me that, and my name is Fugui now."
"Uncle, your name is so strange.."
"What is this?"
Fugui turned his gaze and looked at the girl, she was holding a purple stone in her hand and shining around, this thing is called memory crystal, a kind of alchemical product, similar to a video camera, which can retain images, and was the favorite of merchants at first, because once there is any dispute, this thing is the most direct evidence, and what is more interesting is that until now, some people have begun to use this thing to record the singing process of some bards, or theater performances, in a sense, it can be regarded as the prototype of a movie.
"Father's youngest daughter, I grew up in the Golden City, so I don't know you."
"What do I have to know."
Fugui retracted from the window, turned around and pushed open the door, and walked out, Ciri also followed and walked out of the carriage, although Fugui didn't care about the etiquette of the nobles, but there should be politeness, in the end, the man in front of him did not offend him.
"It's you, Donald, who took your sister out to do business, and you haven't separated yet..."
"My father said that after the reform of the alchemy market, the market will become bigger and bigger, and from the beginning of him, he will not be separated, and he can stay in the family to work, so there will be no need to divide the family in the future, and my current job is to work for the family."
"It's good, too."
"Uncle, don't you mind?"
On the side, the girl spoke.
"By the way, uncle, my name is Martha."
"Don't mind, because I didn't want to stay there from the beginning, and if it weren't for the separation fee and learning about alchemy, I might have left there a long time ago."
"Why not? Uncle, the second brother told me that the family has never been harsh on you. ”
"Because I don't like the rules of the nobility."
Fugui said the answer that he had prepared a long time ago, so as not to let people continue to get to the bottom of it, after all, he can't talk nonsense about him as a traverser.
"I prefer the free life now to the kind of one-sided life, so even if I know my brother, your father's little abacus, I won't mind, or even if I am asked to be the patriarch of the family, I will refuse."
"Oh~~ I see.."
Martha looked suddenly enlightened.
"Ahem, uncle, what business are you doing now? Do you think there is any possibility of cooperation between us? ”
The man patted the girl on the head, interrupting Martha's unfinished plan to continue asking questions, but he knew his sister the most, and his favorite thing to do was to get to the bottom of it.
"Cooperation, it's not much possible for the time being."
After thinking about it, Fugui said truthfully.
"First of all, there is so much difference in size between us that it's hard for me to satisfy my family's appetite, and secondly, for now, I'm more bullish on everyday things, but you know, it's different from the audience that the family is aimed at."
"That's right."
"Huh? Uncle, are you also optimistic about the market for daily necessities? ”
Hearing that Fugui was making daily necessities, Donald felt a little regretful, this is normal, because people who do alchemy potion business must not look down on ordinary alchemy products, but the girl named Martha on the side was excited, looking at that look, as if giving Fugui a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign land..
