People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Say it.

Her cheeks twitched slightly, and she said with a very bad expression: "It's still one million molas, is it more? The time limit is the five years in the contract. Your loan has now accumulated to two million molas. If you don't pay it back by then, If so, hum——"

Dolly didn't say anything more after that.

Anyway, in the desert, anyone who borrowed money from her and didn't pay it back would end up badly. Rhode just needed to know this.

"Thank you very much, Lord Sange Mahabhai."

Rod didn't have the habit of giving in when something was cheap, and he sincerely thanked Dolly for her generosity.

He didn't want to get too serious with Dolly yet.

There will be many places where Dolly will be used in the future.

And this time it will be done.

It's because he is short of money now.

When he first got the one million moras borrowed from Dolly, he felt that the money was enough given the desert area's spending power.

can be put into practice.

He found that he still underestimated the cost of doing research.

After originally ordering seeds, saplings and other things from Dolly, Rhodes still had more than 700,000 mola in hand.

But after he completed everything he needed.

Half of the 700,000 molas were gone.

Rhodes has made some rough calculations in the past few days. If the experimental field is destroyed again due to natural disasters such as sandstorms or monster attacks in the future, it will cost a lot of money to replant it.

Not to mention that he still has irrigation canals and other infrastructure that require routine maintenance.

After careful calculation.

Rhodes came to the conclusion that the money on hand was definitely not enough.

At that time, he had already considered asking Dolly to borrow some money.

But I have nothing valuable on hand.

It was impossible for him to mortgage the Eye of Fire Elemental God on hand.

other things.

The only thing that can be called valuable is the technical means he has in his hands, but before it is put into practice, this cannot be sold at a high price.

And he and Dolly were not acquaintances.

Unlike Kawei, who has the title of 'The Most Outstanding Young Architect in Xumi', Rhodes can borrow money based on his reputation.

So after much thought, the only way to get an unsecured loan from Dolly was through this information gap.

In general.

The results are good.

Now that Maura has it, this bet can also become her own protective umbrella.

Dolly will not allow any accidents to happen to the products she invests in before the contract is reached.

This deal.

Rhodes was satisfied.

But Dolly was not happy.

Originally, she was just curious about how a desert dweller could grow food in the desert without using the benefits of fertility.

That's why she followed her caravan to Aru Village, ready to find out.

In Dolly's original plan.

She came to Aru Village this time mainly to observe Rhodes' experimental field.

If after the on-site inspection, it was determined that the plan that Rhodes showed her was indeed meaningful and valuable for implementation.

Then she wouldn't mind changing the previous loan contract to an investment contract.

Even said.

After Rhodes' experiment yields results, she will buy out the technology at a large price and make it her own. Then she will go to the desert area to sell it and use this technology to ruthlessly sell it. Make a fortune.

It’s just that after signing this bet plus a new loan contract.

Dolly's mood has hit rock bottom, and she has no intention of seeing what the Rhodes Experimental Field is like.

But she wasn't in the mood.

It doesn't mean that Rhodes is not in the mood.

"Sir Sange Mahabhai, would you like to visit my experimental field?"

Rod's face that needed to be beaten once again approached the depressed Dolly: "Just in time, all the goods I ordered have arrived. In less than two days, you can see the new look of this experimental field."

Chapter 52 The very principled Dolly

No matter how angry you are.

Dolly followed Rhodes to his experimental field and watched with her own eyes as he directed people to kill the date palm trees he purchased one by one.

This also made Dolly, who was still angry, have some interest.

Planting date palms is indeed popular in the desert.

As long as tribes and villages can find settlements, they will plant date palms.

But no one has ever planted date palm trees neatly at a certain distance like Rhodes, and surrounded them into a structure similar to a tree wall.

"It's a bit interesting."

This was something that was not included in Rhode's plan. Dolly blinked and finally felt that her trip was worthwhile.

Because of windbreaks, Rhodes chose mature trees crudely and simply.

In order to ensure that these adult trees can maintain sufficient vitality after transplantation.

After the mature tree is planted.

Rhodes deliberately spread a circle of bounties under each tree.

The same goes for the relatively more fragile saplings.

Dolly saw it and took it to heart.

She did not criticize Rhodes for wasting precious fertile benefits on these powerful date palm trees, but carefully recorded every step of Rhodes' current operations.

"A tree wall to block the wind and sand?"

"This is indeed a fresh approach."

Dolly, who had a sharp eye, saw at a glance Rod's idea of ​​​​arranging the date palm trees in this way.

"If it works out well."

“This is how I will promote date palms when I sell them in the future.”

Dolly looked at it, stroking her chin and thinking.

Date palms are worthless.

Date palm saplings are also not valuable.

Moreover, transplantation is very troublesome and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Like this time when she sent date palms to Rhodes, the shipping and labor costs were several times higher than the value of the date palms.

But there is no basis for words.

These tree walls will have to withstand a sandstorm to see the results.

If it is effective in preventing sandstorms, it will become a gimmick when promoting date palm trees in the future.

Dolly nodded with satisfaction.

Although she was so angry at Rod's house that her stomach still hurts now, but now that she saw the little surprise Rod showed, Dolly had a lot more expectations for what he would show next.

It took a day.

A windbreak forest is beginning to take shape.

"Are you going back to Kavanyi today?"

"Still living in Aru Village?"

Looking at Dolly who had no intention of leaving, Rod asked with a smile.

Standing in the center of the windbreak, the cold wind that had started to rage again as night fell had now been weakened a lot.

Although it is impossible to completely isolate the wind and sand.

But the cool breeze blowing across my face was actually very pleasant.

In response to Rod's question, Dolly replied: "Live in your house!"

"Oh."

"also."

"It's getting dark today. Let's do the rest tomorrow."

Rhodes glanced at Dolly's guards, raised his chin and said, "Where are they? I can't accommodate so many people here, not to mention, I don't prepare so much food for them to eat."

As the richest businessman in Xumi, Dolly naturally needs to bring enough guards to protect herself when traveling in person.

Rhodes just looked at it casually.

I found at least five guards with divine eyes, not to mention the guards stationed outside the village who did not show up here.

Such a protective force.

Even if he was placed in front of the thirty-man group hired by the Holy Order, he would still be able to make no concessions.

It seems.

In terms of protecting herself, Dolly is still willing to spend money.

"whispering sound--"

On the other side, Dolly snorted angrily at Rod's stingy words: "They are staying at the hotel in Aru Village, so you don't have to worry about them."

"Hehe, that's it."

Rhodes stretched out his hand to invite with satisfaction.

The dinner Rod served Dolly was simple.

Sunset fruit stew, sautéed greens, and a large serving of mushroom soup.

"what?"

"Aren't you good at your craftsmanship?"

Dolly took a bite, then licked her lips and praised her, and then asked: "Have you studied cooking in Liyue?"

The traditional cooking methods of Xumi vegetables are nothing more than stewing, roasting, and cold salad.

The technique of stir-frying is rarely used.

When Rod was cooking just now, Dolly watched from the sidelines for a long time.

From his skillful skills, she could easily tell that he didn't learn how to cook in Xumi.

"more or less."

To Dolly, Rhodes was not in the mood to reveal his identity as a time traveler, so he simply responded with an ambiguous answer.

"What do you mean it's almost the same."

"Humph."

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
