Chapter 36

In fact, Donne underestimated the impact of mints on Fiona.

He felt that it was only a small change, but for the locals in prandal, it was an unprecedented innovation.

The sweet taste of sugar and the cool and refreshing of mint combined to produce wonderful changes, which conquered the girl in an instant.

Donne asked, "do you have any plans for this Mint?"

"Can it be mass produced?"

"It's not difficult to make. It depends on the supply of raw materials. It's easy to say sugar, but Mint grass doesn't promote the people here to plant a large number. It's estimated that only those by the river can produce a batch. If there is more, it won't work."

Fiona thought about it and said, "if we can, we can set up our own workshop to recruit workers to produce mint candy. In terms of sales, I can contact the peripheral members of the former golden rose family and reorganize a chamber of Commerce to operate."

Donne raised his eyebrows: "the golden rose family has been dissolved. Would you like to come to them?"

Fiona is confident: "as long as there are profits and prospects, I believe they will be willing to come."

"Well, I'll leave this to you. Now you write to contact those people, and then make an announcement in my name to promote Ellington residents to collect and plant Mint grass. We can buy it at the price of one silver coin per kilogram, but they must protect the beach and don't dig indiscriminately."

Fiona looked puzzled: "a kilogram?"

Donne patted his forehead: "I forgot to tell you, this is the weight unit I formulated... Well, forget it, I'll get you a set of standard tools and a new measurement standard. You can publish it together with the announcement. In the future, all kinds of statistical standards in Ellington will be based on this set of standards."

"I see. Is there anything else?"

"Not yet."

"OK... I still want to eat! Give me more!"

Before Fiona got up and left, she stretched out her white little hand again. Like a greedy little girl, she fell in love with the taste just after eating one.

She felt that after eating mints, her mouth felt much fresher.

Donne chuckled: "eat so much sugar, be careful of tooth decay."

"Tooth decay? What is tooth decay?"

"Just... Well, forget it, I'll make you a toothbrush."

As for the toothbrush handle, poor world tree branch

"What is this?"

"Toothbrush, used to clean teeth."

Donne took out his toothbrush and demonstrated it. Fiona immediately understood the function of this thing. Her eyes lit up: "good thing!"

Even if you don't know the benefits of brushing your teeth to your mouth, you also know how uncomfortable it is to put things in your teeth. With this toothbrush, brushing your teeth will make your mouth more comfortable.

"Here you are."

Donne threw the toothbrush to Fiona.

After Fiona went out, Donne immediately got her a set of standard tools with iron ingots, including a meter ruler, a set of weights and a simple balance, the name of scale and several simple calculation formulas.

With these things, in Ellington, Donne can not have a headache for the time being.

After doing this, Donne looked at the remaining mints. He thought of Elia. He joked that he invited her to eat lollipops before. Now there are no lollipops, but there are mints.

Anyway, there was nothing left or right. Donne put away some mints and put the rest in a small bag to send to Elia.

As soon as he came downstairs, he saw Tina cleaning there. Donne said hello: "Yo, Tina, I'm still busy."

"Lord."

Tina turned and saluted Donne. Although there was still a little resentment in the girl's heart, now she figured it out.

In fact, the matter is very simple. Lord is a good man. Seeing that she is tired, she just wants her to have a rest, but she thinks too complicated

All these misunderstandings, in fact, she thought too much.

Lord, you don't even know you misunderstood

Tina peeked at Donne and found what Donne was pulling in a bag.

"Reach out."

"Ah?"

Tina was stunned. There were more than a dozen round sugar balls lying in her hand.

"This is my mint. Take it."

When Donne waved his hand and Tina recovered, he had gone out.

Sugar balls?

Tina looked confused, hesitated, picked up one and put it into her mouth.

Then

Lightning cuts through my mind! The exciting and cold smell spread in her mouth. For a moment, the maid was made to shed tears by this strange smell.

Is this poison? It must be poison!

What on earth did I do badly? Lord, why did you poison me?

Tina was so cranky that she stood there motionless.

It was quite a while before she recovered.

"Eh... I'm not dead?"

Tina blinked and froze again.

The taste in the mouth has already changed from the initial stimulation to softness, into a very strange but fascinating taste.

"Mints...?"

Tina found that she fell in love with this thing in the twinkling of an eye. She carefully held those mints, found good sisters and distributed them to share with them.

"My God!" Marlene exclaimed and covered her head. "I feel like lightning in my head!"

"I seem to be frozen! It's cool!"

"Magic, this must be some magic!"

"How wonderful and charming! Tina, this thing is really made by the Lord!"

"Yes," Tina nodded vigorously, "the LORD said it was called a mint."

"Any more? I want to bring one back to my brother."

"My sister wants it too!"

"And me!"

Tina didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. She was caught off guard. The handful of mints Donne grabbed for her were divided up in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is what the Lord gave me... I, I also want to stay and eat slowly..."

Tina wanted to cry without tears, but when she saw everyone's happy smiling faces, she sighed, soon put it down and happily discussed it with everyone.

We talked about mints, Lord, Lord's kindness, Lord's wisdom, Lord's gossip

Of course, Donne didn't know he was being discussed by the maids. He wandered out of the Lord's house and looked silly.

He doesn't know where Elia lives yet.

"By the way, ask Edgar."

Donne clapped his hands and ran to Edgar's blacksmith's shop.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Brian yelling, "you're too slow! Come on! Otherwise you won't finish it by the day after tomorrow! Humans are really troublesome!"

"You make molds there and give me all these jobs. Of course it's slow!"

Edgar was full of complaints, but he didn't dare to complain to Brian. He suddenly saw Donne and was stunned: "Lord, why are you here again? Don't worry, the task will be completed."

Donne looked at the semi-finished products on the ground. In just one hour, he had made more than 100. He estimated that there was still enough time, so he smiled and said, "I know, there is still enough time. Don't be too tired."

Edgar brightened his muscles and said with a smile, "thank you Lord for your concern. I have no problem."

"Well, do you know where Elia lives?"

"Elia? The orphan girl with a little lonely character?"

"Orphan?"

"Yes, I don't know who her parents are. When people in the town saw her, they were in the woods in the west of the town."

Edgar scratched his head: "after taking her back to town, because some strange things always happen around her, everyone gradually alienated her over time, and her character became very lonely."

"Strange things?"

"Yes, strange lights, strange whispers, and others were hurt, so some people thought she was an ominous incarnation and wanted to expel her." at this point, Edgar jumped in his heart and hurriedly added, "but that's all in the past. Since the albertons adopted her, with Elsa's company, she is now a lot more lively."

"I see..."

Donne pondered for a moment and asked, "where is Elsa's house?"

Edgar stretched out his hand: "go out and walk along this road for about two hundred steps, on the right."

Donne nodded, then turned and went out.

Elia is an orphan. She was treated unfairly when she was a child. It's normal to be lonely. It's better to say that it's not normal to be trained into a lively little girl by ELSA now.

However, I'm afraid the abnormal phenomena mentioned by Edgar appear because of Elijah's magic affinity. If the elements around him are too rich and don't know how to control and dredge, there will be abnormal phenomena. If any mage saw her, he must have brought her back as a closed disciple. Unfortunately, there are few adventurers here in Ellington, let alone mages, Elia was naturally regarded as a monster.

Poor little fellow

Donne shook his head and came to Elsa's house.

"Eh? Big brother!"

Before knocking on the door, he heard Elia's surprised voice. Donne turned around and saw the lovely little girl sitting in the yard washing clothes with a basin of water.

Prandal residents are generally precocious, but it's too cruel to let Elia wash clothes?

Donne frowned slightly.

"Cough... Elia, who's here?"

A female voice came from the room.

Elia said crisply, "it's the big brother - the big brother of the Lord."

"Lord?"

The woman was a little surprised and said, "I'm very sorry, Lord. I'm Elsa's mother Clara. I'm not in good health, so I can't meet you..."

i see! Because she's not feeling well, Elia is volunteering to help.

Donne suddenly realized and touched Elia's head. The little girl is so sensible!
