Chapter 60 Tires

"Two days shortened to one day?" President Pomperi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "How is that possible. If you say it's shortened to a day and a half, then I'll let my men fight for their lives and buy more better horses. Maybe it's still possible. But it's shortened to one day... unless there is a link to Bangta City. and the road to Anvilmar."

"Don't think about it for now." Xu Yi shook his head. "The road that our two families are currently building is just an experiment done by His Majesty the King. Only after these two roads are completed and His Majesty thinks the effect is good, will the road construction be implemented in the whole kingdom. As for the construction of a road connecting Bangta City and The highway of Anweimar City, then I don’t know when I will go.”

President Pomperi nodded sullenly: "Yeah. If all parts of our Lampari Kingdom are connected by roads, then our car dealership's business will be much easier."

"This is the second time I've heard someone feel this way today." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Don't worry, as long as more and more people realize the convenience brought by the road, then I believe that sooner or later in the Kingdom of Lampari, all roads will be turned into smooth roads."

"I also believe that the question is how long will it take? I can't wait that long now." President Pomperi sighed and looked at Xu Yi: "President Xu, you shouldn't be talking about improving ourselves. the road?"

"Yes, I'm talking about something more realistic, that is, the carriages used by your carriage dealers." Xu Yi said.

"A carriage?" President Pomberg frowned after thinking for a while. "What can I do to improve the carriage? There seems to be nothing to do except for better horses, right? The problem is that better horses are also more expensive and expensive to feed. I can't afford it."

"Although horses can actually be replaced by other things, it's not enough for the time being. I'm looking for you this time, and I'm talking about the car."

"Car?" President Pomberg was even more puzzled. "Is there any room for improvement in the car?"

"Of course there is." Xu Yi nodded affirmatively. "I saw the team of the Saranque Chamber of Commerce on the road just now, and then I observed the carriage used by their team. Is it all wooden?"

"Of course, our wagons, whether they carry people or goods, are all made of wood. What's the problem?"

"Don't you think... the carriage made of wood is very useless and easy to break?" Xu Yi asked.

"Of course I know that. But it can't be all made of iron, right? I have tried to build a carriage out of iron. The problem is that the carriage made of iron is not only so heavy that the two horses can't pull it, and the cost is too high. The last time I tried to build the four-person carriage, it cost me close to 200 gold coins! How do you think I can afford the cost? You know that the wood we use now is made of wood. The overall cost of the carriage is less than twenty gold coins."

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, a carriage made of iron? It's really a shame that President Pompey can think of it.

"I didn't say it's all made of iron, of course it won't. I mean, for a carriage. The worst wear and tear, and the most prone to damage, is actually not the body, but the wheels and rollers. ?"

"That's right, that's true." President Pomberg nodded. "But I tried the same. If the rollers and wheels were made of iron. It would still weigh a lot more, and it would actually deform more easily than wood. Plus it cost several times as much as a wooden wheel, so I finally gave up. "

"How many times the cost of a wooden wheel?" Xu Yi was a little strange. "Isn't that right? Iron should be cheaper in my opinion. A suitable wood for wheels and rollers should be much more expensive than iron?"

"President Xu, that's why you don't understand. Although the material of iron is much cheaper than wood, it can make the same wheel and roller. The wages of a blacksmith are much more expensive than that of a carpenter. After all, it is iron. Making wheels is several times more expensive." President Pomberg replied helplessly.

"Snapped--"

Xu Yi suddenly slapped his hand and said with a smile, "That's it!"

President Pomperi looked at Xu Yi inexplicably: "What do you mean?"

Xu Yi smiled: "President Pompey, if I tell you, I can sell you a set of iron rollers and wheels at a cheaper price than wooden rollers and wheels. Are you interested? ?"

"Are you kidding?" President Pomberg pouted. "How could it be easier to make iron..." He suddenly stopped and stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes. "By the way, isn't this what your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does! I'm so stupid to forget this! President Xu, can you really provide cheaper iron rollers and wheels?"

"Of course. I can also add a better thing called tires." Xu Yi replied with a smile.

Night was approaching when he left Philson's carriage, but when Xu Yi returned home, night had already fallen completely.

As soon as I walked in the door, I saw a shadow flashing in front of my eyes, and Yanis suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Master President, you're finally back!" Yanis shouted excitedly, grabbed Xu Yi's hand, and dragged him towards the door.

Xu Yi was a little strange: "Yanis, you seem to be very happy today."

"Because today's dinner was made by Anise." Steele's voice came from the room.

When he saw Yanis pulling Xu Yi's hand in, Steele's face changed slightly, he stood up, and quietly grabbed Xu Yi's hand that was held by Yanis, and continued with a smile: "You haven't come back for so long, the food is going to be cold."

Xu Yi looked at Vivian who was beside him in surprise, and then looked at Steele: "Didn't you say that you two are cooking tonight, why did you change to Yanis again?"

Steele shrugged: "You have to ask Anise. She saw that Vivian and I were going to cook, and she didn't know what was going on, and suddenly she said she was going to make this meal, no matter how we tried to persuade her. Do not listen."

Xu Yi looked at Yanis strangely: "Yanis, did you encounter anything happy today?"

Yanis shook her head: "No. I just saw Steele and Vivienne start cooking, and I suddenly remembered that I've been here for so long, but I've been eating Vivienne's food all the time. According to the common etiquette exchange between human beings that you told me last time, President, I think I should also cook a meal for you, and use this as a gift. Am I right? President?"

Xu Yi laughed dumbly: "Although it's not completely correct, it's not wrong. Very good, Vivian, you have learned more and more rules that belong to us human beings, I believe you will soon be like Elushi. Elder Ya hopes to truly integrate into our human life."

Yanis said with some distress: "But every time I go out now, there are still many people pointing at me, and many people even come up to watch."

"There's no way, who made them not used to your presence." Xu Yi smiled and patted Vivienne on the shoulder. "Don't worry, humans get used to new things very quickly. I believe it won't take long before everyone will get used to the existence of your elves. Look, your hundred compatriots are here now, wait until they are there If you show up a lot in the city, everyone will gradually become accustomed to this situation, and they will no longer be watching and pointing at you."

Yanis thought for a while, then nodded: "I hope so. Well, Mr. President, you've finally come back, let's eat quickly. I don't know what your human eating habits look like, but Sti Both Er and Vivian said that the food will not taste good if it is cold, so let's eat it before it is cold."

Hearing Yanis say that she doesn't understand the eating habits of human beings, Xu Yi suddenly groaned in his heart.

The last time I went to the Nightsong Tribe, the food that Elder Elushia entertained for his group of three was only some simple fruits and water, which made Xu Yi slandered the eating habits of the elves at that time.

And now that Yanis has emphasized this point again, what the hell should the food she cook look like?

Seeing Yanis lift the cover on the dining table, Xu Yi took a deep breath and looked intently.

Just one glance, Xu Yi almost couldn't help but let out a scream.

The contents of the three plates and one soup bowl on the table were all so dark that they couldn't even be seen.

It is really hard for a strongman to make Xu Yi recognize this kind of food as normal meals.

Looking at Yanis who was still wearing a bright smile, Xu Yi asked both Steele and Vivian, "Hey, did Yanis cook all these dishes by herself? Neither of you did. Help out there?"

"Because Yanis said that asking others to help doesn't reflect her sincerity, she kicked both of us out." Steele replied easily, after glancing at Xu Yi, he pursed his lips and snickered: " Dear President, Anise has said that since she came to our human world, you have helped her the most. This meal she made by herself is what she mainly uses to thank you, So...you can't live up to Anise's wishes."

"Yeah, Mr. President, in order to express my gratitude to you, I cooked all of this meal by myself, do you think it's delicious?" Yanis asked Xu Yi expectantly.

Looking at the happy look on Yanis' face, the snickering smile on Steele's face and the worry on Vivian's face, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, but there was an extremely bright smile on the surface, Xiang Ya. Niss said: "Okay, let me taste it."

After speaking, he gritted his teeth, put on a righteous and dignified look, and swallowed a mouthful of food that Anis attentively brought to his mouth.

In an instant, countless strange smells burst out in his mouth, and Xu Yi only felt that the whole person was suddenly in a wonderful environment, and the surrounding air became colorful.

At this moment, Anise's voice rang in her ears.

"Master President, is it delicious?"

After a long while, Xu Yi spit out two words from his mouth slowly and with difficulty: "Okay...eat..."
