Chapter 58 Harold: Why are you so stubborn?
"Go ahead, Senior Setale. I believe your trip will bring us the photos we desperately need. You know, compared to the text and pictures in ancient books, being able to see the architectural structures in the Red King ruins with our own eyes will help us make faster progress in our research. I don't think this will delay everyone's progress.
If I had not been restricted to the rainforest by my research topic, I would have applied to investigate the desert ruins. To be honest, I envy my predecessors for having such an opportunity. If I could get such an opportunity, I would do everything I could to explore and take photos of all the useful information," said Harold.
"Okay, I get it. I took it for granted. I will never let you down."
Setale breathed a sigh of relief. Although Kavi and Seno's words made her realize how hasty her decision to quit halfway was, it was Harold's comfort that made her completely put aside her worries, because Harold was the person she trusted most in the rainforest area.
Setale: "Although I don't know much about architecture, there are several mechanics and architects in our team. I will learn from them while studying on my own. I hope that the pictures I bring back can meet your research requirements as much as possible. Last time you said... we want to study the 'load-bearing structure'? 'Water supply system'?"
"There is also a transportation system, and it would be best if there are records of the vegetation planted. Well... you can pay attention to the murals in the ruins and the reliefs on the coffins. They are also important sources of information," Harold said, recalling the documentary he had seen in his previous life.
"I understand," Setale nodded, taking Harold's words firmly into her mind.
Because of Setale's trip to the desert, the society's work needs to be rearranged.
The five people then quickly started this round of communication. During this week, the research progress from fast to slow was as follows: Harold, Setale, Kavi, Seno, and Elhaisen.
Harold wiped the sweat off his forehead in his heart. It was a close call. Setale almost overtook him.
How come these people are so capable? They even dragged Elhaisen of the Zhilun School to the end.
Setale was extremely surprised. After she decided to go to the desert ruins, she devoted all her free time to research in order to contribute more to the society before leaving.
Even during working hours, she would tear off the paper from her notes and stick it on her folder, and take a look at it when she had nothing to do, but even so, her progress was still not as good as Harold's.
This gentleman has really devoted himself to research, and he is really trying hard to fulfill his promise.
Seno took back his file and tapped it on the table, "Are you all Batman?"
He remembered Haroldt saying that Batman didn't need to sleep.
“Obviously, I’m not,” Elhaeson said.
As the only outlier in the society, Elhaisen was in a good mood and planned to go to the pub for the Saturday-only half-price lunch after the event.
Kavi recorded the current progress of the five people and distributed the work originally assigned to Setale to others.
After the society activity ended, Harold took the initiative to find Setale.
"If your predecessors passed through saline-alkali land or tidal flats during their journey and saw wild rice there, could you please ask someone to bring them back," said Haroldt.
Hearing this, Setale's eyes suddenly widened.
"Is there any inconvenience? If you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will consider other methods. I should do these things personally, but I really can't spare the time at the moment," Harold thought of his Pianpianhua and Dunduntao and sighed helplessly.
He had to record experimental data every day, so he couldn't run too far.
"No, no!" Setale quickly denied, her voice filled with joy, "I just didn't expect you to start this research so soon, I thought..."
I thought you would want me to wait until Little King Jixiangcao returns to the public eye.
Setale looked around but didn't utter the name.
"That was my original plan, but now the situation has changed," Harold said with a chuckle. "Plans must always be adjusted in a timely manner according to reality. This is the secret to maximizing the utilization of time."
I have money now, and will have more and more money, so many things in the future can be put on the agenda.
So, money is really a good thing.
Harold was in a very good mood.
Setale's eyes lit up. Thinking of Harold's extraordinary research efficiency, she felt that Harold said this intentionally to guide her. She put one hand on her chest and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your teachings."
...What did I teach?
Harold began to think about this problem.
“Also, I love your new hair style,” Setale said.
Really? But Kavey obviously didn't like it very much, and he was seen hesitating to speak several times.
Harold thought helplessly.
Rather than thinking that Setare was deliberately trying to get closer to him, he would rather believe that this was a difference in aesthetic tastes between men and women. After all, Nasrin once said that his current hairstyle looked like a dandelion.
After saying goodbye to Setare, Harold rushed back to the laboratory to record today's data, and then he took a boat to the port of Omos.
The journey took more than five hours, but fortunately he was able to read on the boat, so the time was not wasted.
After arriving at the port of Omos, a merchant at the dock recognized him. It was he who sent his followers to lead the way for Harold when he came here to buy equipment from Dolly last time.
He greeted: "Dear scholar, I had the honor to talk with you a week ago, and perhaps you still remember me and my attendant Rida.
If you want to find Sangge Mahabay or buy some goods, I can ask Lida to guide you. If you are just passing by, please come here to rest. I have seats and hot tea here. "
When the attendant Rida heard his employer's call, he very politely brought out a small stool, then brought out a few cups of tea on a tray, with a few bags of snacks beside the tea.
Harold recognized that it was the freeze-dried packaging that Dolly showed him last time. It seemed that she had successfully reached a consensus with other businessmen and planned to jointly promote this product.
The businessman said enthusiastically: "I heard that the idea of freeze-drying came from you. Master Sangge Mahabayi has explored a variety of freeze-drying methods based on the ideas you provided. Look, this is freeze-dried Dun Dun peach, freeze-dried sunset fruit, and freeze-dried Luo Luo berry. They all taste great. This is the first time I know that dried fruit can be more delicious than fresh fruit.
Now we are only selling these products on a small scale in Omos Port under the instruction of our master, and introducing freeze-dried products to foreign merchants as much as possible. Even so, it still sells very well, and every time we get the goods, they are sold out.
All the plantation owners and fleets in Xumi will be excited about this news. They will no longer have to worry about their fruits rotting due to the harsh climate at sea.
It is said that the master is trying to freeze-dry the various fungi that are unique to Xumi recently. The master asked us to tell you that in half a month, her exploration will be initially successful. If you want to taste the salty freeze-dried food in advance, you can go to her at any time, but this time you need to pay for the tasting fee, and the master will give you a 40% discount. "
The businessman couldn't help revealing envy on his face, he never thought that the idea of making freeze-dried food actually came from a young scholar, who was able to study in the Institute of the Church at such a young age and reached a cooperative relationship with Master Dolly. He had lived for most of his life, but had not achieved anything as good as this teenager in front of him.
"I'm glad she was able to figure out different freeze-drying methods so quickly," Harold said, expressing her admiration for Dolly's decisiveness. She even thought of freeze-drying vegetables.
However, the production of freeze-dried fungi is much more difficult than that of freeze-dried fruits. As far as he knows, the production of freeze-dried okra and freeze-dried mushrooms is not as simple as freezing and sublimation drying. If freeze-dried fungi are made according to the method of making freeze-dried fruits, it is very likely that the freeze-dried fungi will become stiff and inedible.
But he couldn't help Dolly. He really didn't know how to freeze-dry mushrooms. He hoped that Dolly could really figure out the method by herself.
Then Harold was invited to taste Dolly's newly developed freeze-dried lollies and sunset fruit. They tasted very good. Harold felt that even in Mond, the place of origin, the residents there could not resist the freeze-dried lollies.
After enjoying a sip of the fragrant tea, Harold grabbed seven or eight freeze-dried fruits and threw them into the tea under the surprised gaze of the merchant and his entourage. After they absorbed enough water, he gulped them down along with the tea.
The merchant couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "Scholar, does this taste good?"
"Hmm? I personally think it's good, easy to eat, and the taste... is similar to fruit tea. Do you throw away the pulp when you drink fruit tea?" Harold asked.
The merchant and his follower Rida looked at each other and remained silent.
They were all thrown away.
After tea, Harold asked Rida to take him to Dolly's temporary residence.
"Dolly, my friend, I have brought you another big business. I believe you must be eager to know the wonderful ideas in my head," Harold said softly.
"Just stand there and don't move, my friend, let me take a good look at you," Dolly poked her head out from a corner and made a viewfinder with four fingers on both hands, aiming it at Haroldt's head.
Then she cried out in surprise: "Oh my, it's really you, my friend Harold. Why are you dressed like this? Are you wanted by the Order?"
"If that's the case, you should have seen my wanted poster earlier than me," Harold pinched his temples, "Just consider this as a small sacrifice I made for my experiment."
"What kind of experiment is worth such a sacrifice? Can it bring you Mora?" Dolly asked sharply.
"You are more interested in this than my idea?" Seeing that she cared so much about his research, Haroldt began to wonder if Dolly in front of him had been replaced by someone else.
"Hehe, you have come to me specially to share your ideas with me, so I am naturally not in a hurry. As far as I know, your research is not only beneficial to the people of Xumi," Dolly put her fists on her chest and made a cute gesture.
Dolly: "It's okay to learn from experience once. It's not my style to fall in the same place again. My friend, my best friend, let's be frank. What research are you doing this time? Tell me, maybe I can find a way to make a fortune for both you and me."
"Two studies, one is closely related to my new idea, which will bring us Mora in a steady stream," Haroldt raised two fingers and shook them.
"Another thing is that it will drain Mora from my pocket for a long time, but it will eventually open up a new market and provide abundant labor resources. What do you think? Are you interested in investing?" Harold asked with a smile.
“I smell Mora!” Dolly said excitedly. “Please tell me more about your two studies.”
