Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Oil Shale

"That depends on how you choose."

Aslan didn't immediately ask for conditions, but asked instead.

German chuckled and said, "I just want to have enough to eat, and I don't want to be driven out of the Changfeng Plain."

Aslan smiled broadly and held out his hand.

"Happy cooperation!"

German also stretched out his hand, and said very happily: "I will report most of the things in Changfeng Plain to you in the future, but the deeper news will be more troublesome."

Aslan naturally understood what German meant, and said very generously: "Don't worry! The price will definitely satisfy you. Now I have something for you to do."

"I promise to satisfy the lord!" Germain said confidently.

Aslan spoke to German through magic voice transmission, and German's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"My lord! When it's done, I want a thousand of these meaty breads." Germain directly offered the price.

The corners of Aslan's mouth trembled, being stimulated by the price offered by Germain.

A thousand meat buns.

A catty of baobao fruit powder plus other flour and meat can make ten meat buns, and they are still large.

It is equivalent to more than one hundred catties of grain plus ten catties of meat, and these halfling thieves can do this kind of black work for him.

The price is really cheap.

"Don't rush to do things, do it when I leave Changfeng Plain." Aslan added at last.

German nodded, and before leaving, he grabbed two meat buns and hid them in his pockets.

Aslan smiled dumbly, pointed to the remaining seven or eight meat buns on the table and said, "Take them all away! Treat them as gifts for the first cooperation!"

German was not hypocritical, he took out a dirty bag and packed it away. Before he left, he suddenly asked questions.

"My lord! Can I come to Changfeng Town to buy supplies? But we don't have money?"

Aslan didn't refuse. He thought of many local products in the Changfeng Plain. Among them, the one that interested Aslan most was garlic flower. This kind of plant is also a unique plant in the element-disturbed area of ​​Merlot.

This kind of food contains a large amount of allicin, which has a certain inhibitory effect on staphylococcus, streptococcus and skin fungus. If a person suffers from respiratory infection, dysentery, enteritis and other diseases, eating more garlic flowers is of positive significance to recovery of health if there are no other diseases.

In his previous life, it took Aslan more than ten years to extract the antibiotics, the main material of which was minced garlic flowers.

"Then let's see what you brought here?" Aslan said pointedly.

Germain thought for a moment and sat back to his original position, and began to dig around in his bag. After a while, all kinds of strange things appeared on the table, including a piece of gold mine weighing one or two catties. .

Aslan just glanced at it, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Except for gold mines, what are these things?" Aslan asked angrily.

Germain smiled awkwardly and said, "These are all things I collected while traveling."

"Oh, is it a specialty of Changfeng Plain?" Aslan suddenly became interested.

"No, I picked this up when I was traveling in the Ottoman Kingdom." German picked up a piece of brown mudstone and said, "Although I don't know what it is, I can tell you that it is a very magical material. It can be ignited, and it burns for a long time. I am traveling now, and I rely on igniting him to stay overnight at night, which is easy and convenient."

Aslan nodded straightly, he couldn't help but think of the world's evaluation of halflings.

Halflings are famous collectors, and the more traditional halflings collect teapots, books, etc., and some collect animal hides and even the beasts themselves. Wealthy halflings sometimes commission adventurers to find exotic items to round out their collections.

Although many things were missing, it was undeniable that they occasionally picked up a lot of good things, such as the Germain in front of them.

The Huoyan stone he mentioned is a well-known oil shale on the earth, and it is known as the fossil energy that will replace petroleum in the future.

Aslan had obtained this thing in his previous life, but the quantity was not much, and he did not study it too much

But the memories of his previous life let him know that oil shale is a good thing.

The development and utilization of oil shale can be traced back to the 17th century. By the 19th century, the annual output of oil shale reached one million tons, and some products such as kerosene, kerosene, paraffin, fuel oil, lubricating oil, grease, naphtha, lighting gas and chemical products could be produced from oil shale. Fertilizers, ammonium sulfate and other products.

By the early 20th century, due to the advent of automobiles and trucks, oil shale was exploited in large quantities as a transportation fuel. It was not until 1966 that oil shale, as a major mineral energy source, withdrew from the stage of history due to the massive exploitation and utilization of crude oil.

However, the utilization of oil shale in the development of various countries is more extensive, and the utilization of oil shale has been extended to various fields such as power generation, heating, refining shale oil, manufacturing cement, producing chemicals, synthesizing building materials, and developing soil fertilizers. aspect.

If oil shale can be obtained on a large scale, Aslan's eyes can't help showing a gleam.

"This thing is not bad, it's good for lighting, please make a price!"

Aslan decided to take him down. This time he went to the North Wind Prairie, so that people could check the information about the oil shale.

"I only discovered this after crossing the northern wind prairie. Although it's worthless there, it can't stand the long distance." German said as expected of a halfling who is extremely shrewd about money.

Aslan nodded.

"Speaking of the price? Don't talk so much nonsense."

Germain wanted to complain. He had also been to human cities several times and watched many transactions between humans.

Don't suppliers have to raise prices first when doing business? Then the customer bargains again?

Why did I always feel like everything was reversed when I came to Aslan.

"Five gold coins." Germain asked tentatively.

Aslan nodded. Germain thought that Aslan agreed to the price, but Aslan's next sentence made him fall into an ice cave.

"Huoyan stone should also be regarded as a kind of ore, and a ton of metal coins is not expensive."

Aslan said seriously.

Ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past in German's heart, and he really wanted to say that this piece was only five gold coins, but he was afraid of being shot to death.

"What about this one?" Aslan asked, pointing at one at random.

This time Germain learned the lesson.

"Two gold coins each!"

"No!" Aslan said without thinking.

German figured it out and figured it out. Lord Aslan was a super profiteer of the human race. If he wanted to do business with him, he had to be prepared to be blackmailed.

After picking and choosing for a long time, Aslan finally got the minced garlic flower, and he got it at the price of two silver coins for ten plants.
