"Does this island need to change its name?" asked Donna, brushing her windswept hair, toward Kaichi.

They are now on Andrea Island, standing on the highest peak of the island and looking at the interior of the island.

Andrea Island is only a few dozen nautical miles from Mochacher, closer to the North Sen Continent, west of the North Sen Continent, east of a mountain peak, blocking the whole island to the east, and in the interior surrounded by the mountain peaks there is a bay, although there are many reefs, but it is a perfect haven. To the west is a large plain, blocked by mountain peaks, and the hurricanes blowing in the ocean to the east are a very suitable land for farming, and although the soil on the island is not very fertile, it is safe from hurricanes.

Donna was brought to the top of the mountain by Jia, accompanied by Ou Lei, and after Jia paid for the island, she couldn't wait to come to the island. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was with the island, there were many bigger ones around Moshacher than Andrea, but not many of them were better, and Donna was able to buy the island, which was almost a leak.

"Change your name? What's that called? Caribbean?"

"What do you mean by the Caribbean?"

"Nothing, just watched a lot of this movie before. ”

Donna didn't quite understand what a movie was and what it had to do with the Caribbean, so she stopped talking about it.

"Let's call it Beatrow Island, Beatrow is the Elvish pronunciation of sugar beet, and in the future we will mainly grow sugar beets here, so it's good, or you can call it Sweet Island. "Jiayi gave full play to his talent for naming, and he was as bad as ever.

Donna opened her mouth and didn't speak, after all, it was his money, and he could do whatever he wanted. If it weren't for the fact that the island was named after Andrea's family, he wouldn't necessarily have changed its name.

Jia Yi pointed to the plain at the foot of the mountain: "The area here is large enough, but the land is not very fertile, the wheat that was originally planted should not be planted, but instead planted pasture grass and raised cattle and sheep, Xiaoqing has been with me for so long, and it is time to take a wife." ”

It's a trouble when Xiaoqing is in heat every year, and Jiayi can only let him out and let it vent on its own, and I don't know how to vent it.

"Remember to set aside a piece of land to grow sugar beets, so that the sugar mill can be prepared, and you don't have to worry about anyone stealing secrets on the island. ”

Ou Lei quickly took out a notebook when she heard this, paused, and said, "Raising livestock on the island is not a good choice, it is too troublesome to transport, and it is easy to die on the road. ”

"Don't worry about this, when the time comes, we will build a large cargo ship to transport it, Moshacher consumes a lot of meat, and it is far from enough to rely on the island's cultivation alone, and we can still sell fresh milk. ”

Compared with meat, fresh milk is easier to preserve and store after sterilization, and it is more convenient to transport, and Moshacher's meat is not all produced on the island, and external transportation accounts for a large part, but live livestock is easy to die when transported, so the price of meat in Moshacher has been high. However, seafood is abundant and cheap, and the residents of Moshacher still eat more seafood.

Ou Lei saw that Jia Yi was paying attention, and no longer advised, it was indeed not a wise choice to grow food on this island.

"What about the tea trees here? Do you want to continue to operate? The Andre family has taken away all the tea garden masters, and we need a manager who is familiar with the tea plantation and a good tea master, otherwise the tea produced will not sell at a high price. Donna said.

The high price of this island is not unrelated to the fact that there are a lot of tea trees planted on the island, because the island is barren, and there is no profit from the cultivation of general crops, only tea trees, and the Andre family has spent a lot of effort to plant tea trees on the island, which is a relatively large tea plantation. But before they left, they took all the tea masters with them, leaving only some hired farmers who used it to grow wheat. The farmers were all on long-term contracts, somewhat similar to long-term labor, in order to circumvent Moshacher's prohibition of slavery.

Jia Yi said: "Of course, the tea tree must be managed, otherwise it will be too wasteful, I have some ideas here, you can try it when the time comes." As for the master and tea master who manage the tea garden, you can only dig it yourself, pay a higher salary to dig a few people, or go to the Skoll Chamber of Commerce to see if anyone recommends it. ”

Although the Skoll Chamber of Commerce is not good at the tea business, it has a wide range of friends, and it is not difficult to recommend a few suitable tea masters.

"You remember to find two young tea makers with potential, who are more receptive to new things. ”

Most of the older masters tend to be more stubborn, they have a lot of experience, and many times they are trapped by their own experience.

Ou Lei wrote down the matter, and then asked, "The Andre family also urged us to ship back the tea we purchased, otherwise they will charge a storage fee." ”

The storage requirements of tea are not low, it occupies a lot of space, and it is easy to get damp, and the quality is reduced after being damp, so it can't be sold at a price. Therefore, the storage of tea is also a big cost, fortunately, they are doing physical business, not futures, otherwise they will not be able to deliver smoothly when they expire, and the price will be leaked to the end, and they will have to be sold upside down.

"Let them wait a little longer, and on the island you need to build a couple of warehouses to store the tea here. You bring some tea back first, and I'll experiment with our new tea treatment process. ”

"New technology?" Donna and Ou Lei both looked at him, they wanted to be a mage who was famous for drinking tea, but they had hardly heard of a mage who could make tea, and the difference in tea treatment technology had a great impact on the quality of tea, and they were really not at ease with Jiayi.

However, Jiayi has never disappointed, although the two did not understand Jiayi's instructions, they quickly followed Jiayi's instructions and brought back hundreds of pounds of tea.

These tea leaves have been soaked in water, and the edges have begun to slowly turn red, and the appearance looks really average, and he must not be willing to buy such tea when he sees it. Kaichi took a small portion of the tea leaves, compacted them slightly, and then covered them with a cloth soaked in warm water, and began to wait slowly.

He stayed by the side, using spells to control the temperature and humidity, and after five or six hours, the veins of the tea leaves began to slowly turn red, and he felt that the time was about the same, and then opened the tea leaves to roast.

Donna looked at the processed tea leaves and asked with some distress: "What kind of experiment is this? It costs so much tea? It's all wasted." ”

Jiayi grabbed a handful of dried tea leaves, and a small part of the tea leaves still had golden tea velvet: "This is the tea I processed, I call it black tea, come and try it." ”
