Chapter 66 The possibility of promoting shared 3-wheelers in Xumi City

"Don't be too anxious. From the time I submit my interim research results to the Ministry of Education, until the Ministry of Education cultivates Dun Dun peaches on a large scale and uses the new sugar-making method to lower the sugar price, it will take at least a year. You don't have to rush to sell the sugar at a low price. This is information I'm giving you for free."

Although Dolly did not show any distracted look, Harold knew that a big businessman like Dolly must have a lot of inventory on hand, and the popularization of his research results would eventually cause the goods she bought at a high price to rot in her hands.

However, that was a few years later, and his research progress was far slower. Due to equipment limitations, he was unable to accurately measure the sugar content of different varieties of Dun Dun peaches and date palms.

However, he proved that under the climatic conditions of Xumi, using the simple method of purchasing sweet flowers, Dun Dun peaches, and date palms of the same price and making sugar from them all, it was more advantageous to use Dun Dun peaches to make sugar. The amount of sugar produced from Dun Dun peaches, which were twice as sweet, was four times that of sweet flowers. The residue left over from making sugar could also be made into feed for mushroom pigs and pack animals.

Date palm sugar is more suitable for people in desert areas, which is determined by geography, just like people in some coastal areas use coconut sugar.

Although the sugar content of date palm is higher than that of Dun Dun peach, it is not cost-effective to use date palm to make sugar in rainforest areas because date palm trees cannot adapt to the rainy climate of the Xumi rainforest area, and it is too costly to cultivate a large date palm forest in the rainforest area.

It might be a good idea to let desert people grow date palms and make sugar in the desert, and then transport the finished products to the rainforest, but this would involve considering the issue of transportation costs.

Well...so this research has to be postponed to the future. Now he has neither the time nor the energy to negotiate with the leader of the desert tribe. The most important thing is to complete the production of Dun Dun peach sugar first.

The interim results he has achieved so far have not reached his original goal, but they are enough for Azar to get gold coins again. Harold has sorted out the relevant application materials and is ready to ask his mentor Zacharias to review them and ask him to submit the documents to Azar.

He believed that this research result and the twice-sweet Dun Dun peaches were enough to allow Azar to develop the Dun Dun peach planting industry and publicize the superiority of Dun Dun peach sugar-making in order to enhance the prestige of the Faith House.

Then from now on, when people mention Dun Dun Tao, they will think of Azar, just like when people in Blue Star mention corn, they will think of Khrushchev.

The image of Hazard holding a peach and laughing suddenly appeared in Harold's mind.

I have such a rich imagination.

Harold pursed his lips and accepted Dolly's thanks and a large box of high-quality coffee beans from her.

Then Harold went to visit his mentor Zacharias. This middle-aged man who valued reputation did not ask about his progress after he started his own research project.

Trust, no effective means of contact, communication with Nafis...

Harold felt that there were many factors involved. Although Zacharias did not ask about his progress, Harold knew that he was still very concerned about it.

This can be seen from the relief that Zacharias breathed when he received his documents.

Zacharias read it word by word, smiled with surprise, and said "yes" thirteen times in a row. He even blurted out the sentence that Harold extremely rejected, "My disciple Harold has the qualities of a great sage."

Harold: Never mind. I'm used to it.

One or two of them are like this, alas.

Zachariah praised him, "I have worked in the Faithful Court for more than ten years, and I have only seen your manuscript that I cannot find fault with. Are you really not going to write it into a paper and submit it? You don't have much time left."

"There is still more than half a year left, and I will submit a better answer before the first review deadline," Harold politely rejected his mentor's proposal.

He needed his first paper at the Faculty of Letters to be outstanding enough, to earn him a certain reputation in the academic world, which would be a great help in his role as a tutor at the Faculty of Letters.

Zacharias was convinced by Harold's confidence and his first interim report. At the same time, he also had an expectation in his heart that when Harold's research results amazed everyone, he, as a mentor, would also gain many reputations such as "a discerning eye for talent" and "good guidance".

Thinking of this, he became more and more satisfied with Harold, and was more and more fortunate that he was the one who discovered this outstanding disciple.

Then Haroldt took out three portions of sugar, three twice-sweet peaches and three portions of nectar, asked his supervisor to accept one portion, and submitted the other two to the Ministry of Education as one of the research results.

Zachariah took the glass bottle from Harold and squinted at the light for a long time: "This color... can reach the standard of premium sugar."

Then, he poured some sugar into his palm, leaned over to lick it, and smacked his lips and said, "It tastes just like sugar."

Haroldt blinked and said jokingly, "Of course, teacher. I customized a laboratory sugar-making instrument based on the industrial sugar-making instrument. The process only added the step of chopping the Dun Dun peaches. The rest was done completely according to the Tian Tian Hua sugar-making process. Could it be that the sugar made would still taste like salt?"

Zachariah shook his head. “I thought that if the raw materials were different, the taste of the sugar would be slightly different.”

This is indeed true. It is said that sugar made from beets is sweeter than sugar made from sugarcane. Harold has also compared sugar made from cherries and sugar made from sweet flowers. The sugar made from cherries has smaller crystals and contains a grassy aroma.

These differences are mainly caused by the different composition of sugars, and determining the composition of these sugars is also what he will study later.

Then, Zacharias tasted the twice-sweet Dun Dun peach and Pian Pian nectar, taking a bite of the Dun Dun peach and taking a sip of the Pian Pian nectar.

Then, he covered his mouth and gave a thumbs up: "Sweet!"

His reaction made Harold couldn't help but smile.

After saying goodbye to Zacharias, Harold returned to his rented house in Xumi City. His rent was about to expire, so he packed up some of his books and accessories in advance, which made his room look less artistic.

It was six o'clock on Friday evening, and he continued his studies.

During these two months, their research results were remarkable. Setale, relying on his identity as a desert man, asked several gilded brigades to send the photos in the ruins and the rice that Harold needed back to Xumi City in batches.

However, due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, they in Xumi City received the first batch of things one month after Setale set out.

One can imagine the amount of money she spent on this. During the society's activities, Kavi and Seno both lamented that their research progress was so fast and Setale had made an indelible contribution to it. Kavi calculated Setale's losses and felt secretly annoyed, saying that it was his dereliction of duty not to take this expense into consideration and to give Setale a subsidy as the president of the society before she left.

The photos taken by Setale enabled Kavi and Harold to successfully develop methods to optimize the load-bearing structure of houses in some remote areas and improve the underground water supply system to reduce water evaporation during water transportation in just one month.

Based on the murals, Harold also keenly predicted that certain desert-specific plants could improve saline-alkali soil, and asked Dolly to buy the relevant plants for research.

Harold and Kavi focused on architecture and plants, while the translation and proofreading work was undertaken by Elhaisen and Seno. Seno's graduation review and application for the position of disciplinary officer were successfully passed. After serving in the Ministry of Education, he had much less free time, so his research progress in the next few studies was behind Elhaisen.

Therefore, every time there is a society activity, Seno would tell a few jokes about "Batman" and express admiration for their high research efficiency.

...

At 7:30 on Saturday morning, Harold went out on time. Recently, there was a group of merchants stationed in Port Omos in Xumi City. Harold found out that they came to Xumi City to sell freeze-dried fruits.

Dolly successfully made freeze-dried food a light luxury product abroad through the hunger marketing strategy. Now she has invested in several freeze-dried food manufacturing plants and contacted plantation owners and fleets in Xumi to establish cooperative relationships with them.

"When the Dun Dun peaches are ripe this year, freeze-dried fruits will become a popular snack in Xumi. The price of freeze-dried fruits will be much cheaper, and I can eat porridge soaked in freeze-dried fruits to change the taste. Hmm... my life is getting better and better."

Harold smiled and whispered to himself, walking slowly towards the Elhaisen house.

"Harold!"

"Senior Kawi."

Harold heard Kavi's voice and said the greeting before turning around.

Harold turned around, and at this time Kavi also pedaled the tricycle in front of Harold, with Elhaisen sitting on the tricycle.

Harold heard himself say "Huh?"

Kavi explained hurriedly, "Today there is a freeze-dried food promotion. Buy ten boxes and you get a 10% discount. Buy twenty boxes and you get an 80% discount and you get one box for free. So we bought a little more at once. Fortunately, we have a tricycle, otherwise we would have to rent a unicycle from the store."

Is that really a good deal if you add the money for renting the unicycle? Harold couldn't help wondering.

"Then there's no need for us to participate in the promotion on Saturday," Elhaisen put down the book and said to Harold, "Good morning."

Harold replied with a greeting: "Good morning."

Elhaisen's words indirectly answered his question, and he said in his heart: You are amazing, Dolly.

"Who said that? It must be worthwhile to buy 20 cases," Kavi objected. "So many people buy 20 cases."

Kawi's words were immediately met with sarcasm from Elhaisen: "Because our senior was kind-hearted, those things are now piled at my feet."

Kavi snorted, and then talked about the troubles of other residents: "Because I'm the only one with a tricycle, and I'm just delivering it to you on the way. If you're not satisfied, you can get off the tricycle and carry your twenty-one boxes of freeze-dried food back by yourself."

He didn't want to argue with Elhaisen about this issue anymore. They had already discussed it on the way. If it wasn't too conspicuous to argue with someone while riding a tricycle, they would have continued arguing.

In order to prevent himself and his junior from becoming the focus of the streets of Xumi City, Kavi changed the subject: "Harold, do you want to come up? I can give you a ride."

Harold flatly refused: "No, senior, I plan to walk over there by myself, just to digest the breakfast I just had."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Have you ever considered making some public tricycles?"
