Chapter 36 The Impact of Taste

In fact, Dunn still underestimated the impact of the mint on Fiona.

It felt like a small change, but for the natives of Plandal, it was an unprecedented innovation.

The wonderful combination of the sweetness of the sugar and the coolness of the mint instantly conquered the girl.

Dunn 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. Sugar is okay, but mint grass has not been promoted by people here to plant a large number of people. It is estimated that only one batch can be produced by relying on the riverside. Too much will not work."

After thinking about it, Fiona said, "If possible, we can set up our own workshop to recruit workers to produce mints. For sales, I can contact the previous peripheral members of the Golden Rose family and reorganize a chamber of commerce to operate."

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "The Jin Qiangwei family has been disbanded. Are you willing to come to them?"

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

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Now you can write a letter to contact those people, and then make an announcement in my name to push the residents of Ellington to collect and grow mint grass. We can pay a silver coin to The price of kilograms is to buy them, but they must be bound to protect the river beach and not to dig indiscriminately."

Fiona looked puzzled: "One kilogram?"

Tang En patted his forehead: "Forgot to tell you, this is the weight unit I made... Well, forget it, I'll get you a set of standard tools later, and a new weight and measure standard for you, you At the same time, it will be released together with the announcement, and the various statistical standards in Ellington will follow this set of standards.”

"I see, is there anything else?"

"temporarily unavailable."

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

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

She felt that after eating the mints, the feeling in her mouth was much refreshed.

Tang En laughed: "eat so much sugar, be careful of tooth decay."

"Tooth decay? What is tooth decay?"

"It's... um, forget it, I'll make you a toothbrush."

Dunn said and made a toothbrush for Fiona with the remaining ponytail hair. As for the handle of the toothbrush, the poor World Tree branch...

"this is?"

"Toothbrush, for cleaning teeth."

Dunn took out his toothbrush and demonstrated it. Fiona immediately understood the function of this thing, and her eyes lit up: "Good thing!"

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

"Send it to you."

Dunn casually threw the toothbrush to Fiona.

After Fiona went out, Dunn immediately used an iron ingot to get her a set of standard tools, including a meter ruler, a set of weights and a simple scale, as well as the names of weights and measures and a few simple calculation formulas.

With these things, in the territory of Ellington, Dunn can be regarded as not having to worry about units for the time being.

After finishing this, Dunn saw that there were still a lot of mints left. He thought of Elijah. He joked before that he would invite her to eat lollipops, but now there are no lollipops, but there are mints.

There was nothing to do anyway, Dunn put away some mints, and then put the rest in a small bag and planned to send it to Illya.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Tina who was cleaning there. Dunn said hello: "Yo, Tina, I'm still busy."

"Lord Lord."

Tina turned around and saluted Dunn. Although the girl still had some resentment in her heart, she now figured it out.

The matter is actually very simple. The Lord is a good person. Seeing that she is exhausted, I just want her to rest for a while, but she is thinking too complicated...

All these misunderstandings were actually caused by her overthinking.

Lord Lord doesn't even know that he has misunderstood...

Tina took a peek at Dunn, but found that Dunn was digging something in a bag.

"Hand out."

"what?"

Tina was stunned for a moment, and there were more than a dozen round candy balls lying in her hands.

"This is the mint I made, you can eat it."

Dunn waved his hand, when Tina recovered, he had already gone out.

Sugar balls?

Confused, Tina hesitated for a moment, then took one and put it in her mouth.

Then……

Lightning strikes my mind! The irritating and cold taste spread out in his mouth, and in an instant, the maid was actually moved to tears by this strange taste.

Is this poison? It must be poison!

What the hell am I doing wrong? Why did the lord poison me?

Tina was actually thinking about it, and stood there dumbfounded and motionless.

It took a long time before she came back to her senses.

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

Tina blinked, then froze again.

The taste in the mouth has long since softened from the stimulation at the beginning to a very strange but fascinating taste.

"Mints...?"

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

"Oh my God!" Marlene exclaimed, covering her head, "I feel like there is lightning flashing through my head!"

"My whole body seems to be frozen! Cool!"

"Magic, this must be some kind of magic!"

"So wonderful, so charming! Tina, this thing is really made by the Lord!?"

"Yes," Tina nodded vigorously, "Lord Lord said it was called mints."

"Anything else? I want to bring one back for my brother."

"My sister wants too!"

"And I!"

Tina didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. Unprepared, the large handful of mints that Dunn grabbed for her were all divided up in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is given to me by the lord... I, I also want to stay and eat slowly..."

Tina wanted to cry but had no tears, but seeing everyone's happy faces, she sighed, put it down quickly, and happily discussed it with everyone.

Everyone discussed mints, Lord Lord, Lord Lord's kindness, Lord Lord's wisdom, Lord Lord's gossip...

Of course, Tang En didn't know that he was being discussed by the maids.

He still doesn't know where Elijah lives.

"By the way, ask Edgar."

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

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Brian roaring: "You are too slow! Work harder! Otherwise, you won't be able to finish it before the next day! Human beings are really too troublesome!"

"You get the molds there and give me all the work, of course it's slow!"

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

Tang En looked at the semi-finished products on the ground. In just one hour, he had already made more than 100 pieces. After an estimate, there was still enough time, so he smiled and said: "I know, there is still enough time, don't overdo it. tired."

Edgar flexed his muscles and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord for your concern, I'm fine."

"Well, do you know where Elijah lives?"

"Illya? That orphan girl who is a little withdrawn?"

"orphan?"

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

Edgar scratched his head: "After taking her back to town, because some strange things always happened around her, everyone gradually alienated her over time, and her personality became very withdrawn."

"strange things?"

"Yeah, the strange light, the weird whisper, and some people were injured because of it, so some people thought she was an ominous incarnation and wanted to expel her." Having said this, Edgar's heart skipped a beat and hurriedly added Said: "But that's all in the past. Since the Abertons adopted her, with Elsa's company, she is a lot more lively now."

"I see……"

Dunn 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 paces. It's on the right."

Dunn nodded, then turned around and went out.

Ilya is an orphan, and she was treated unfairly when she was a child. It is normal for her to be withdrawn, but it is not normal to be trained by Elsa to be a lively little girl now.

However, the abnormal phenomena mentioned by Edgar are probably all because of the Illya magic affinity body. When a mage saw it, he must have taken her back as a closed disciple long ago. Unfortunately, there are few adventurers here in Ellington, not to mention magicians, and Illya is naturally regarded as a monster.

Poor little guy...

Dunn shook his head and came to the door of Elsa's house.

"Huh? Big brother!?"

Before knocking on the door, I heard Eliya's surprised voice. Tang En turned his head and saw that the cute little girl was sitting in the yard washing clothes with a basin of water in her arms.

The residents of Plandal are generally precocious, but it's too cruel to let a girl as young as Ilya do the laundry, right?

Dunn frowned slightly.

"Cough... Illya, who is here?"

A female voice came from the room.

Illya said crisply: "It's the big brother - the lord's big brother."

"Lord Lord?"

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

I see! Because she is not feeling well, Illya is actively working to help.

Tang En suddenly realized, patted Ilia's head, the little girl is really sensible!
