Chapter 663 Forced to Become a Lazy Girl

The elves actually have many special products, such as perfume, dried mushrooms, special wood, etc.

But because the "output" is too low, although they can make a little money, they cannot become bulk goods.

For example, perfume is indeed very expensive, but the elves, in addition to using it themselves, will not sell more than 2,000 bottles a year.

This is the output when the population exceeded 100 million, and now the elves have only about 10 million people, and the output of perfume will be even lower.

Although the unit price profit is extremely high, because the quantity is too small, it cannot support the foreign exchange transaction volume required by a country and race.

After all, dried fruits are often counted in tens of thousands of tons, silk is sold in thousands of pieces every year, and tea is even more outrageous... One hundred grams is equivalent to the price of a bottle of perfume, and thousands of tons are sold every year.

Woodcarving furniture is the hard currency in the human world.

Although the price is not particularly outrageous, it sells very well, even better than silk.

The elves back then never worried about "supplies".

Barter is their favorite way of trading.

They are even willing to pay 10% or 20% higher prices to purchase basic materials in the human world.

For example, metal ores, or some rare magic materials.

But now it is different. The elves' foreign trade has lost three of the four carriages, just like a person with three limbs broken, and there is definitely no way to "walk" conveniently.

Hardy is not very familiar with the internal situation of the elves.

He thought about it and asked, "Can we replace dried fruits with grains? The archdruid should also be good at growing grains such as rice and wheat."

It is normal for Hardy to have this idea.

Although the dried fruits of the elves sell well, in comparison, grains are more popular.

Food in the human world is also a hard currency. In terms of price alone, dried fruits may be more expensive, but the problem is... dried fruits are reduced by nine-tenths. If the price is calculated based on the basic output at the time of harvest, then the unit price of grain is actually much higher than that of dried fruits.

Especially in this turbulent era, the average price of grain is 30% more expensive than more than half a year ago.

Claudia understood Hardy's idea. She shook her head and said, "We actually considered this, but later found that it was not practical."

"Why?"

"To grow wheat or rice, we need to cut down a large number of trees and clear a large area of ​​arable land to meet the foreign trade needs of our elves." Claudia sighed and said, "But the appearance of such a large area of ​​arable land will affect the physical and mental health of all our elf children. Especially young children!"

Hmm?

Claudia explained, "We are the children of the mother tree of the world. In essence, we are also a kind of tree. You can think of us as trees turned into people."

"Staying in the forest, we are staying with our loved ones. Trees will give us shelter and food. Fruits are like milk to us." Claudia sighed and said, "But wheat and rice are different. They are not even the products of this world, but brought by humans from the demon world. We have no empathy with wheat and rice."

Hadi looked surprised.

He really didn't expect that wheat and rice were not species of this plane.

They are actually cross-plane species.

No wonder... It's always been said that the elves like to stay in the grasslands and the woods.

I've never heard that they like to stay in the wheat fields. So this is the reason.

"Then I can't think of any good ideas for a while." Hadi spread his hands helplessly.

"It's okay." The Elf Queen comforted: "Please come here just to talk about this matter. In the future, I will have to trouble you to serve as a transit station to help us trade with other human countries. If you have any good ideas in the future, just tell me."

Hadi nodded.

"After the business, I have to talk about private matters." The Elf Queen looked at Hadi's face, and then said: "You have been a little weak recently, go to Lulu to get some herbs to supplement."

"The Queen also knows herbal medicine?"

"Lulu was taught by me."

Oh... No wonder, last time Lulu took Hadi to the mountains for a walk, and then knocked Hadi unconscious.

And Lulu also made some tonic soup for Hadi from time to time. After drinking it, the kidneys will indeed feel much more comfortable.

The elves are indeed a forest race, and they are good at using medicine... Thinking of this, Hardy suddenly slapped the table with a loud slap.

Claudia was startled, and then she looked at Hardy's excited face and asked, "You seem to have a good idea?"

"Is it easy for you to cultivate herbs?"

Claudia nodded: "Whether it is natural magic or light magic, it is essentially to overdraw the vitality of the human body for treatment. Although it works quickly, it is easy to deplete the body, so herbs are needed to replenish it. In addition, some elderly people are very weak. If they get sick again, they are prone to sudden death with magic treatment. At this time, they also need to use medicinal soup to regulate their bodies. I dare not say anything else about our elves, but there are many people who know the technology of herbal medicine."

"Make aphrodisiacs and tonic soup." Hardy said affirmatively: "You can make a lot of money."

At this time, Hardy felt that what he said had a sense of déjà vu. Thinking about it carefully, he was also "selling" this kind of business in the real world.

So, no matter which plane, the enhancement and needs of men in that aspect are really connected?

Claudia blushed a little, but it was so light that it was almost invisible.

Although she gave birth to the twins Lisa and Lulu, she actually didn't have a man yet. They were "split".

So when she heard these things, she was inevitably a little embarrassed.

But then her curiosity was aroused: "Why can you make a lot of money?"

"Because we human men are creatures who like this kind of thing."

Claudia looked at Hardy, as if comparing him with the standard, and then nodded with a look of understanding.

Suddenly, Hardy felt that he was insulted by the other party, but he had no evidence.

"Aphrodisiacs and tonic soups are easy to make, and the cost price is low. How much should they be sold for?"

"There are three grades." Hardy said with a smile: "A weakened version for civilians, an ordinary version for wealthy businessmen, and a powerful version for nobles."

"How do you set the price?"

"For example, the civilian version sells for ten copper coins, the wealthy sells for ten silver coins, and the noble sells for one gold coin." Hardy shrugged: "Of course, I'm just suggesting that you can set the price according to your own cost. Anyway, the price of the three price points should be widened, so as to reflect the high-end atmosphere of the noble version."

Claudia looked at Hardy with a playful look: "You are also a noble, is it okay to cheat them like this?"

"I am in the same group with you, okay."

Claudia liked to hear this, she squinted He smiled with his eyes closed: "Well said, let's give it a try."

Hadi thought for a while and said: "I don't really know much about business, but I have two friends who are good at marketing. I can send them to help you in a few days."

"Thank you." Claudia seemed very happy: "During this period of time, our people have actually had a difficult time, but fortunately we have your help. You gave us land and now you are giving us advice. Thank you."

"Family, you are too polite."

"Yes, family!" Claudia stood up: "Do you want me to call Lisa back? She is now leading the construction corps to reclaim land in the desert."

As the future queen, this is Lisa's responsibility and obligation.

"It's okay, there is a long way to go." Hardy also stood up: "I will come to her when she finishes her work."

"I will let her find you." Claudia hugged Hardy gently.

Very gentle, the kind of hug between relatives.

Just a light touch and then loosened.

In Hardy's experience, Claudia's body was very soft and warm, and the strange fragrance was more obvious.

Hardy always felt that he had smelled this smell somewhere, but there was no impression in his memory.

Coming out of the 'palace', Hardy saw Angelina.

The elf woman sitting in the flowers on the roadside with a small belly had a gentle and virtuous temperament.

She was weaving a basket with grass. It must be said that almost all the women of the elves were skillful.

She had been paying attention to the situation around her, and when she saw Hardy coming out, she stood up.

"Why are you waiting here all the time? Aren't you bored?" Hardy walked over and asked.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do... As a pregnant woman, I have privileges now and don't need to work much." Angelina walked up to Hardy and asked, "Are you going back next?"

"Yes." Hardy nodded.

Angelina looked a little disappointed, and then she said, "Why don't we stay here one more night?"

"Not so good." There was no one around at this time, and even if there was someone, they were far away, but he still lowered his voice and said, "Youmi will be there at night, aren't you afraid that she will hear anything?"

Angelina pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

In fact, Angelina did have a way.

That night, she came to Hardy's room, and the two fought heartily for almost the whole night.

The noise was actually quite loud.

But Youmi, who was sleeping next door, didn't react at all.

Then the next day, when Hardy left the elves, Youmi staggered up, looking sleepy.

She looked at the rising sun outside, and then rushed to the door of Hardy's room.

The door was wide open, and the bedding inside was neatly folded.

Then she rushed to the balcony and saw her mother Angelina watering the flower field.

She shouted, "Mother, why didn't you wake me up? I didn't even say goodbye to Hardy."

"I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly." Angelina smiled gently.

"Ah!" Yumi cried out softly with a cute expression, her face full of confusion: "I didn't get up even after he left. It's so late, will Hardy think I'm a lazy girl?" (End of this chapter)
