Quinn John was also helpless. In the past few days, they had tried everything they could think of, but there was still no way to find affordable food. Now it seemed that the price of food would rise even if it didn't.
Laura put down the letter in her hand and said with a wry smile: "The price of food has risen, if we don't, we can only lose money. Although we have gotten some affordable food these days, but it is too little, we can only support for about ten days. I'm afraid we won't be able to get even a grain of rice. At that time, I'm afraid the news about the Ica plains will be released, and those guys will start."
Quinn John smiled bitterly. "This isn't the most terrible thing. If the Ica plains don't produce any food, then how much food will the entire Purcell Duchy need? Moreover, they will have to support at least until next year's grain production, then the price of food will fall. In the next few months, how much food will the entire Purcell Duchy need? With such a big food shortage, the Purcell Duchy's vitality will be greatly damaged. At that time, how many commoners will not be able to eat? "
Laura also smiled bitterly. In this situation, they had no way to deal with it. They could only hope that the Purcell clan would be able to pass this hurdle.
At this time, a servant came in and said to Laura, "Young Lady, Mr. Zhao Hai's follower, Brother Lin, requests an audience."
Laura and Quinn John were surprised, but Laura immediately said, "Quickly invite him in." Laura was now paying more and more attention to Zhao Hai. When Laura came back from Stony Mountain, she immediately went to see the scaled wildebeests that Green had left behind.
After seeing them, Laura understood what Zhao Hai meant when he said that his scaled wildebeests were the best. Zhao Hai's scaled wildebeests were really good. Although their appearance was still that of a scaled wildebeest, their endurance and speed had been significantly improved. Even their defensive capabilities had been improved a lot. Even a level two spirit beast was not necessarily stronger than these scaled wildebeests.
It was precisely because of this that Laura paid more attention to Zhao Hai. She really couldn't understand how Zhao Hai did it. How could ordinary things become better in his hands?
Before long, Green came in. This time, he came to deliver oil to Laura, buy some bags of corn, and talk to Laura about the food issue.
Before coming here, Green and Zhao Hai had already gone to the Ica plains to have a look. They found that this time, the Ica plains really had no production, which was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Zhao Hai had released more than ten thousand mu of insects. He thought that they would be able to eat about a hundred thousand mu of wheat seedlings. After all, the people of the Purcell clan could kill insects.
However, when Zhao Hai arrived at the Ica plains, he found that the insect plague was now out of control. Because they didn't dare to get too close, they didn't know why the insects hadn't been eradicated yet. But what was certain was that the Purcell clan didn't have any good methods to deal with the insects.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai didn't dare to be careless. After he returned to the space, he didn't plant corn, but instead began to plant bamboo rice.
The yield of bamboo rice was definitely better than the Jade Mego. But bamboo rice couldn't produce rice bran, it could only produce bamboo rice and some rice husks. The rice husks were really useless, so Zhao Hai didn't plant bamboo rice. Now that he saw the situation in the Ica plains, Zhao Hai had to plant bamboo rice in his space. Moreover, he planted bamboo rice on all the land, even the oil fruit trees were not planted.
Bamboo rice was a high-yield thing. One mu of land could produce more than ten thousand jin. Moreover, this thing was rated as a level five crop by the space. It only took ten hours to mature, but it was only a season's crop. Once it matured, it had to be planted again. However, it could produce two crops in one day. In other words, Zhao Hai could get at least a few hundred thousand jin of food a day.
A few hundred thousand jin of food was a lot, but Zhao Hai didn't intend to make a fortune with bamboo rice. This time, the situation in the Ica plains was caused by him. If at this time, he made a fortune, Zhao Hai would feel guilty.
Now, in Zhao Hai's hands, there were nearly two million jin of corn and nearly one million jin of bamboo rice. This time, he let Green go to Casa City. In addition to those three things, he also wanted to see the situation in Casa City.
This time, Green drove five scaled wildebeest carriages. In addition to him, there were also several zombies. These zombies now looked similar to ordinary people. If one wasn't a senior warrior or magician, there was no way to find them abnormal. Therefore, Green dared to bring them out.
The carriages were loaded with fruit oil. These fruit oil were for Laura to test sell. The fruit oil they produced was much better than the fruit oil outside. However, Zhao Hai didn't want to raise the price. Now wasn't the time.
When Green arrived at Casa City, he was somewhat surprised. He thought that there would be people robbing grain in Casa City, but now it seems that there was no such thing. Everyone was still living a normal life, there wasn't even a bit of chaos.
When he arrived at the Higanbana store, Green looked at the price of the food in the store. There was no increase, the price was still normal. This made Green somewhat puzzled. In his heart, he secretly thought, "Does the Purcell clan have enough food? Strange. "
After that, Green revealed his identity and said that he had something to do with Laura. The servant didn't dare to neglect and immediately reported to Laura. Laura immediately invited Green to the living room in the backyard.
Green followed the servant to the door of the living room. He found that Laura, Quinn John, and Nier were already standing in front of the living room door to greet him. Green didn't act arrogantly. He stepped forward and greeted Laura. "I have seen Miss Laura."
Laura quickly smiled and said, "Mister is too polite. For Mister to come, Laura is really honored. Mister, please come in." Then she led Green into the living room.
After sitting down in the living room, Laura wasn't polite. She directly asked Green, "I don't know why Mister came to Casa City this time. Can Laura be of any help? "
Green smiled and said, "Miss Laura is too polite. This time, we've come to trouble Miss Laura. We've bought the oil press some time ago and have already started to extract the oil. This time, we've brought 20 thousand jins of fruit oil and would like to ask Miss Laura to help us sell it. What do you think?"
Laura was surprised. She curiously said, "It has already been produced. Hehe, Mister's movements are really fast. But I ask Mister to forgive Laura for being rude. Laura still needs to look at the quality of the fruit oil."
Green smiled and said, "This is normal. We are very confident in the fruit oil we produce. Now that the fruit oil is outside, I ask Miss Laura to inspect the goods." Then he stood up and gestured outside.
Laura and Quinn John also stood up and followed Green out the door. At this time, Green had already ordered the undead to drive the carriage to the backyard.
Laura glanced at the zombies driving the carriages. She only felt that these people were lifeless and didn't feel anything unusual. However, Quinn John could see that these "people" who were dressed as warriors were undead. Moreover, they looked like zombies.
As Laura was about to step forward, Quinn John couldn't help but pull her back. Laura looked at Quinn John, puzzled. Quinn John looked at the zombies with vigilance.
Quinn John had seen zombies before, so he knew that ordinary zombies weren't like the ones driving the carriages. Ordinary zombies had rotten flesh all over their bodies, which could be seen at a glance. But these zombies looked like ordinary people, which meant that they were high level zombies. High level zombies had corpse poison on their bodies, as long as a person was touched by it, they would be poisoned. It was very formidable.
Quinn John wasn't afraid that Green would harm them, but he was afraid that Laura would accidentally touch these zombies and be poisoned. That would be very troublesome.
Green also saw the two's actions. He smiled and said, "Mister Quinn John doesn't need to worry. These are Mister's servants. They have been specially refined by Mister. The poison in their bodies won't be released casually. Only when fighting will it be released.
Quinn John let out a sigh of relief and released Laura. Laura was puzzled as she looked at the people driving the carriage. She turned to Green and said, "Mister, do you mean these people are Mister Zhao's servants? Are they undead creatures? "
Green nodded and said, "Yes. These are Mister's newly subdued zombies. They have been refined using a secret method. Although they look like ordinary people, they are undead creatures."
Laura and the others didn't doubt Green's words. There were a lot of Dark Mages who knew some mysterious Dark Magic. These Dark Magic could be used to refine the undead in their hands. Although they couldn't raise the level of the undead, they could still make them more useful.
In fact, the black magicians on the continent had always been looking for ways to raise the level of their undead. For this reason, many black magicians had studied pharmaceutics and alchemy. However, they hadn't been successful. This method of refining undead was the result of the failure of alchemy. There were a lot of black magicians on the continent who could do this.
These zombies didn't look as terrible as the skeletons. Laura couldn't help but curiously look at them a few more times. She found that the people were just standing there. Bored, she walked to the side of the carriage.
Green immediately moved a large wooden barrel and put it on the ground. He then opened the lid. Laura and Quinn John looked into the barrel and couldn't help but nod their heads.
The two of them were experts in this field. They could see the quality of the oil at a glance. The quality of Zhao Hai's oil didn't need to be said. It was obviously oil, but it was clear to see the bottom. There were no impurities, nor was there any strange smell. At first glance, they could see that it was a high quality oil.
Laura nodded and said to Green, "Mister, you can put the lid on the barrel. We'll take care of the oil. I'll pay Mister later. Mister, please come in." Green nodded and put the lid on the barrel. He then followed Laura and the others into the house.
