Chapter 37 The Laws of Capital Across the World

If you want to make a profit, you must have at least one pot as big as a bucket to cook beef bone soup, and one as big as a bathtub.

When mentioning the bathtub, Cecil's first reaction was of course wood, but even if he found suitable wood in the Luofeng Mountains, what would he use to glue it together?I heard that in ancient times, adhesives were not used, and they could be used just by binding them with rope or iron rings, but he really had no idea how to make the barrel not leak. He had no choice. He had never dabbled in this area. I have never heard of it.

In addition to wood, it seems that pottery can also be considered. Unfortunately, Cecil has not discovered red soil so far, and there is even very little loess. Most of this plateau is fertile black soil. As long as there is water, planting It's like hanging up, but pottery making is completely useless, let alone porcelain.There seemed to be rocks and loess in the mine, but Cecil felt that even if there was a suitable soil quality, he would not have enough firepower to burn pottery the size of a bathtub, and it would not be strong enough after [-] steps back...

After much deliberation, it seems that it is most convenient to tie a bucket with hardwood.

On the way back, Cecil asked Langdon, "Can we make a bucket out of hardwood? It needs to be the size of a person."

Langdon asked with a strange look, "What are you doing?"

"To make soup buckets, the current soup buckets are too small, and the profit is not enough."

Langdon said indifferently: "Don't worry about the immediate profit. We need to attract the attention of Ebo people. Fame is more important than a little money. The most important thing is to occupy the market first."

Fuck, male god, are you an APP?

Cecil insisted: "But I still want the big pot."

Langdon said: "Then just go to Ebo and buy one. There is an iron bucket, can it be used for burning?"

Cecil: "...Ebo has iron barrels?"

"Yes." Langdon said authentically because he didn't know, "It's just an iron bucket."

Cecil covered his eyes.

That's right, Ebo even has fully armed yak chariots, just an iron bucket. If you live in the wild for too long, you will have the illusion that you are really in a primitive society.

Be sober, there is a city flying in the sky!

"Let Mrs. Klass do it, and there is another important thing by the way." Langdon said, "Hurry up and buy all the saffron in Ebo City."

Cecil was taken aback for a moment, then understood: "Okay, I'll go buy it myself."

"You can't go. If you go, it's easy for others to think about the problems. It's fine for Mrs. Class and I to go. In addition, you can go to see the saffron valley. You don't have to set up a stall tomorrow. Call Go to the Magic Elk to see the flowers." Langdon spoke in an orderly manner.

"Yeah." Cecil nodded, feeling a little worried, "Then who's next?"

"I, Luther, too." Langdon said indifferently, "It's very simple, just read it once and you'll be fine. This thing has no technical content, it's just an idea."

God, you are right!

Cecil glanced at Luther who was following, and hurriedly said, "Forget it, Luther, wash me up!"

"I used cleaning techniques on my hands!" Luther said loudly.

"No, no, look at your hair, it's scary! And your animal skin, I've been wondering if you're not hot? By the way, there are shoes..." Cecil looked down, "Where are your shoes? "

"Didn't you realize that I didn't wear shoes after so long?" Luther said sarcastically.

"Damn it!" Cecil exclaimed, "You haven't worn your shoes all this time?"

Luther's feet were always gray and black, and he didn't seem to hesitate when he ran, and he had no problem climbing mountains and wading, so Cecil always thought that this guy had at least a piece of skin on the sole of his foot.

Cecil has shoes, with cloth uppers and leather soles, which are quite comfortable to wear. As long as you take them off every night to dry them, you will be fine. Occasionally, your feet will be a little stuffy, but it is better than not wearing them at all.

"The wild children and I don't have shoes." Luther said, "Look at this woman, she's just shoes with leather soles and a few ropes. Do you think anyone can afford cloth shoes like you?"

Cecil looked at it, and it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude for his own property.

"You use rhinoceros hide to make a pair of shoes." Cecil said, "The grass here can be used to weave shoe uppers, it's very simple."

"The bottom of the skin is too thick, and it will break after a long time, so it's meaningless." Luther said disdainfully.

"How is it possible?" Cecil raised his foot and stepped on it, "My bottom is very soft."

"Your shoes are made of magic leather, soft, durable and waterproof," Langdon said.

Cecil:? ? ?

"Mrs. Klass, aren't your yak hides kneaded?"

"Yes, shave off the flesh and hair on the leather, then dry it, and apply some oil after the finished product, but it is indeed prone to breakage and hardening problems." Mrs. Krass said, "The best leather can be used Made by magic, those leather products are wear-resistant, soft and waterproof, very expensive."

Cecil: "..."

Earn some money!

"Then if I have a way to make the leather soft, wear-resistant... partly waterproof without magic?" Cecil asked enthusiastically, "Can I make money?"

Langdon smiled and said, "Let's hear it."

Luther whispered: "You have many tricks."

Mrs. Class covered her heart with her hands: "Moossi, please bless Lord Knight!"

The leather tanning process has a history of many years, and both Chinese and foreign countries have different methods. Cecil quickly recalled the sales words in Yiwu Small Commodity Market and sorted out a feasible tanning process.Modern tanning requires the use of many chemicals. Don’t even think about it here. It may be feasible to look for it in ancient times.

"Have you heard of Lime?" Cecil started with a simple question, and asked Mrs. Class. It was useless to ask Langdon.

"No." Mrs. Class said honestly.

Cecil asked unwillingly: "It's just... a kind of off-white powder, if it touches the skin, it will hurt."

"Ah, I see." Madam Klass yelled, "There's something for sale in Toto Port. It's called Baihui."

"What are you using it for?" Cecil asked very knowingly.

"Use it as a weapon, throw it at the opponent's body when fighting or fighting, if you throw it in the eye, the battle will be won!" Mrs. Krass said.

Cecil: "..."

Well, really intuitive usage.

"Is it expensive?" This was Cecil's most concerned question.

"It's not expensive, and we can afford it." Mrs. Class said, "This can only be used in close quarters, and it is easy to be blown away by the wind. If the wind direction changes temporarily, you may be the one who suffers, and it is not very easy to use. "

"Is there any dog ​​droppings or pigeon droppings?" Cecil went on.

"Why do you always have trouble with shit." Luther frowned, "Does it have to be dogs or pigeons?"

Cecil didn't know, that's how the product's promotional words were written, and he had never really made leather.

"You can try other shit." Cecil resentfully said, the next thing is the key point, "Is there any oak bark?"

"What is oak bark?" It was Luther who asked this time. Obviously, this thing is really remote, and he doesn't know.

Cecil would not ask Langdon, there was no point in having this thing in a remote place, and the transportation cost would be unacceptable.

"Then Glauber's salt... no, is there any radish?" Cecil asked without hope.

"I've heard of it." Mrs. Klass was pleasantly surprised, but then lost again, "but I haven't eaten it."

"Is Toto Port available for sale?" Cecil's hope was greatly increased.

"There should be, but I heard it's very expensive." Mrs. Krass said.

"Why? Radishes should be suitable for local planting, a plant that likes coolness." Cecil was puzzled.

"There is no place to plant it." Mrs. Class said, "I can't plant it in the wild."

"Why not?" Cecil understood a little bit, "No one else came to grab the land."

In this large prairie, during these days of living, Cecil has never met anyone other than Dali, Luther, and wild children. Their Gay Knights are from outside, so they don't live here.

"But there are wild beasts." Mrs. Klass explained, "Although wild beasts are not often seen, they know where there is edible food. You may be eaten by wild beasts as soon as you plant it. Don't say In the wild, even the farms in Ebo City have to be guarded day and night during the harvest season, otherwise they may be eaten overnight. It is too dangerous to guard day and night in the wild, and there is no fire."

Cecil couldn't help sighing, well, he still didn't think well about the harshness of the natural environment.

Right now, it seems that it is not easy just to collect the cost of leather-making. He has no experience in actually doing it, and he has to try and test again and again, and it may not be successful in the end.

"Cecil Knight Commander." After a period of time, Langdon's tone towards Cecil became much more friendly, but he always called him with a title, really like a serious knight, "I have something to say to you. explain."

Luther, Wild Child, and Klaas mother and son immediately moved away. Cecil glanced at them inexplicably, and moved closer to Langdon.

"How likely is your leatherworking method to be successful?" Langdon asked straight to the point.

"100%." ​​Cecil said with certainty, "Maybe there will be some failures in the middle, but I am sure that this method will succeed 100%. The main reason is that I don't know how to do this. I need to experiment, but I have seen other people's finished products."

Langdon's expression was a little subtle: "Is that so? Well, isn't that a lack of many raw materials?"

"That's right." Cecil sighed, "I've already found some very simple methods, and I can't do complicated ones at all, and even this is still very troublesome."

Langdon nodded and said, "Then I suggest you dedicate this method to the Lord Ebo in exchange for the exclusive management of the beef soup."

Cecil reflexively said: "Why? If I do it myself, I can make a lot of money."

"When your first non-magical leather product appears on the market, the Lord of Ebo will send spies around, after that, he will send some magicians to catch you, torture you until you reveal the method of leather making, and then cut you into meat Treat it as an extra meal for commoners, and declare to the Gay Knights that you are spreading a different civilization." Langdon said sincerely, "The Gay Knights will never admit that there is such a thing, although we are not afraid of war, we are still It’s not like fighting Ebo for you alone.”
