The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 265 You are responsible for being beautiful
Take the light airship for example. Because it uses the smallest and lightest steam engine as its power source, it has not been opened to the coveted goblins who are offering astonishing prices.

In the absence of steam power, the dwarves volunteered to design a set of pedal-operated artificial power. In addition, the transport ships sold to humans by Cattail City were not very large, so it could be barely used.

But even so, Feng Yu set the section of Lengshui River to the north, including the Xiangpu City section, as a no-fly zone, prohibiting human ships from sailing north and restricting them to sail only at the mouth of Lengshui River.

Even so, they still had to accept inspections by the armed patrol boats of Pupu City, and they had to cooperate unconditionally. Otherwise, the Lengshui River had no cover, and the armed steam boats would not be polite to human ships that resisted inspection.

The northeastern part of Cattail City is designated as a residential area and a central commercial area. If the goblin trade area is left there, it will not be possible to allow the goblin airships to fly around in the sky over the residential area.

In addition to the human trading area and the Second Regiment’s base stationed at Jiangkou, the original trading area was restarted and expanded to become the base of the Second Regiment of the Iron Army and the adjacent trade rest area.

The goblin airship docking area is adjacent to the human caravan's dock, facilitating the transportation of supplies. It is also blocked by the Second Regiment's base to ensure the safety of the urban area of ​​Cattail City.

This time the construction was permanent, stone powder was used, and both the bunker and the dock were reinforced. The commercial dock was separated from the dock for the armed steamboat, and the dock for the armed steamboat was a semi-submerged workshop with a shed, which could be repaired and parked.

Feng Yu estimated that after the large salt fields were built, humans, freed from the increasingly depleted salt resources, might ban the goblins from trading in salt, and the salt production in Cattail City would also change from foreign trade to supplying domestic demand only, greatly reducing production demand.

So, what lay before him was to open up new trading materials for Cattail City.

It goes without saying that high-end porcelain and glass products are still in short supply, but just these two types of goods are still too monotonous.

One of the new products Feng Yu plans to develop is daily chemical products, which include aromatic hydrocarbons distilled from stone powder and a variety of perfumes made from flowers and herbs unique to the Longyue Forest.

It is packaged in expensive-looking small glass bottles, equipped with a press-spray device, to make it look unaffordable, and is sold specifically to ladies and young ladies.

Such products include aromatic shampoos, soaps, and all kinds of cosmetics currently available, including eyebrow pencils, lip glosses, vanishing creams, etc. The packaging is all the same, but it is exquisite and luxurious. Don't bother if you don't have money.

Another large category is metal tools, small hardware in small boxes, including eyebrow scissors, eyebrow clips, ear spoons, straight and curved nail clippers, small files and other tools.

The big items are metal tools, including farm tools such as shovels and pickaxes, swords, mail armor plates, plate armor plates, etc. Anyway, humans have all these things, but because they are too difficult to make, the prices are high.

Feng Yu's intention was to attack the human's metal forging technology. Anyway, the weapons of Cattail City could restrain the weapons and protective gear of these cold weapon wars. He was fearless and prepared to sell them in large quantities to consume the excess production capacity of ordinary metals in the Dwarf Kingdom.

That's right. These products are all processed in the Dwarf Kingdom, using their steel resources. There are many mines there, but transportation is inconvenient, so it's just right to smelt them on the spot and make products and ship them back.

Of course, Cattail City will not keep such trade to itself, but will work in partnership with the Dwarf Kingdom and the gnomes on the other side of the mountains so that everyone can benefit and make a fortune.

In addition, as the planting area expands, food products such as alcohol, dried fruits, snacks, etc. have exceeded the daily needs of the four ethnic groups.

Among them are a series of special snacks unique to the alpine moss of the Snow Peak Mountains, preserved fruits from the Longyue Forest, fragrant snow rice from the Great Wilderness, air-dried meat, salted eggs, and sweet potato starch chips and vermicelli made from sweet potatoes.

Of course, the most outstanding one is the spicy strips and slices snack series made from corn flour "invented" by Feng Yu.

In the city of Pupu, where fragrant rice is very popular and meat is no longer in short supply, corn seems to have become unpopular overnight.

To this end, Feng Yu pondered and finally found the popular way to eat the cornmeal from the Foodie Empire.

Among them is spicy strips, which are easy to store, taste good for all ages, and are a magical snack made from pure corn and vegetable oil. Their fragrance is not only widely praised in Cattail City, but was even bought up by the goblins when they were tried out in the trading zone.

The goblins, who fly unprotected in the sky all year round, are very fond of these spicy snacks. They add them to their airship meals and also open up sales in the human world.

Of course, the quantity of food products is still very small, just to deal with the backlog of inventory, and will never be sold on a large scale for profit.

What is sold on a large scale is the high-end and unaffordable series. This thing has too high added value and does not require too many resources. It is really the best choice to empty people's pockets.

The so-called "unaffordable" actually refers to the part with high-end packaging, among which there are also some mixed medium and low-priced products, so that more money can be made. Feng Yu is very clear about this aspect.

There is another thing in Cattail City that is not sold to humans, but it is widely praised by the four tribes.

The Dwarven Blue Sheep are large sheep-like creatures unique to the Snowy Mountains. They can even carry sturdy Dwarves across mountains above the snow line.

But after arriving in the wilderness, these guys couldn't adapt well to the hot environment of Cattail City. Their thick, fluffy fur made them miserable.

The dwarves were not able to make good use of the wool shaved from the blue sheep until the emergence of spinning machines and looms, when the blue sheep became an alternative farmed species.

They have shed their identity as dwarf mounts and transformed themselves into the new favorites of herdsmen, mainly for wool production.

In cold winters or high snow-capped mountains, the four tribes also have ways to keep warm besides animal skins and cotton.

Fur, especially unprocessed fur, is not beautiful or comfortable when worn. It is far less comfortable and substantial than sweaters and trousers.

The fashionable activity of "weaving a piece of intimate warmth for your lover" first spread among elves and halfling girls, and eventually became a national movement for women of the four tribes.

As for Feng Yu, who came up with this thing, his wool business is naturally booming, and the supply is even in short supply.

Nicole also wanted to knit a sweater for Feng Yu, but was stopped by Feng Yu. In Xiangpu City, it is midsummer for three seasons out of the year. When it is the coldest, considering his physique, a single piece of clothing would be considered as a concession to the temperature. Why would he wear a sweater?

"It's enough that you are beautiful. I can't even use these little hands to cook, so how can I use them to knit sweaters?!" Feng Yu said while playing with Nicole's delicate hands.
