It turned out that this carriage was used to purchase food and supplies in the city, because they would need to live in the frozen abyss for several months, so they had to carry a lot of supplies.

"You don't need animal skins to keep warm, as you can always find materials in the abyss. But you need to bring more dry food, because you can't make a fire there, unless you are willing to eat the abyss creatures raw." Fei'er said.

In addition to food, they also purchased some digging tools and healing medicines. The healing holy water was bought from Paul's holy water shop, which was produced in the Holy Water Village.

"Thank you so much for your patronage." Jacques chuckled secretly.

"What did you say?" Fei'er turned her head.

"nothing."

"Don't worry, the purchase costs will be recorded in the account of the Imperial Capital Academy. After the excavation mission is completed, we will deduct the corresponding proportion from the harvest." Fei'er's eyes lit up when she said this: "Usually, only one tenth of the harvest is enough to cover the purchase costs, so this mission is actually very profitable!"

Looking at the stunned Jacques, Rob touched him with his elbow and said, "My sister likes money very much, please don't be offended."

"What's wrong with liking money? My 'One Hundred and Eight Fabulous Wishes' requires a lot of money to realize!"

"You and Bella should be able to become good friends..."

"Oh! Master Jacques, long time no see, you have grown a lot taller!" The mustached store manager Bert greeted Jacques respectfully: "Master, you showed up much earlier than I expected. Aren't all freshmen at Teikyo Academy required to live on campus?"

"I'm going to the frozen abyss to participate in the school's extracurricular activities."

"The frozen earth abyss? Isn't that a task for seniors?" Bert was surprised and delighted: "Your Excellency has made rapid progress! You have only been in school for half a year and you can enter the frozen earth abyss!"

"It was just a coincidence, and a familiar friend introduced me..."

Jacques casually asked about the situation of Holy Water Village and Flower Village. Bert told Jacques everything without hesitation.

The holy water from the Holy Water Village is as popular as ever, and the girls in the Flower Village are living happily, cultivating grapes without any worries.

"The grapes from Flower Village have gained a good reputation in the surrounding areas, and the sales volume is very impressive. Unfortunately, the journey is too long, and I am afraid that they cannot be delivered to Lionheart City. However, we can consider making them into preserved fruits, raisins and other foods. What do you think, Lord Jacques?"

Jacques thought that Bert was quite extraordinary. Not only did he not treat him as a child, but he also intentionally or unintentionally showed his ability to guess his superiors' thoughts. This was only their second meeting, which made Jacques like him even more.

"As long as it can increase income, it's a good thing. However, making these foods was not my original intention. I arranged for them to grow grapes for another purpose..."

"Is it wine that you are thinking of, sir?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Yakqi asked. He thought there was no wine in this world.

"There is indeed almost no wine in the Saxon Empire. Wheat wine is produced in abundance here, and this is also the taste that most people like. Only a small amount of wine is imported from foreign countries, but because it is expensive, it only flows into a few nobles or even the royal family..." Bert said, "The reason why I know this is because my hometown, the city-state of Bordeaux, is one of the most famous wine producing areas on the Love Continent."

"Oh?" Jacques raised his eyebrows and thought: Could it be that Paul had guessed what he was thinking since he suggested planting grapes in Flower Village, so he arranged for Bert to be his deputy?

In fact, the idea of ​​growing grapes was not well thought out, and it could even be said to be a bit naive. It was just that Jacques saw that the natural environment and climate conditions of the Flower Village and its surroundings were very similar to the European wine-making areas he knew in his previous life, so he suddenly had an idea. After all, the wine-making process is very complicated, and factors such as climate, water source, soil, and variety are closely linked and indispensable. Producing good grapes does not mean that you can make good wine.

At that time, Jacques was just leaving soon, and was anxious to get the girls of Flower Village out of trouble, so he made up a reason to give them something to do. Thinking back, the chances of growing grapes and making wine were actually not high. But since Bert was from the country of wine, Jacques certainly would not give up the opportunity to ask for advice:

"So, in your opinion, does the City of Flowers have the potential to produce high-quality wine?"

"Haha, in my opinion, the climate and environment of Flower Village are indeed quite similar to my hometown. But I am not a professional winemaker, and I dare not claim to be an authority on grape planting. However, I do have a good relationship with several winemakers in my hometown..."

Hearing this, Jacques nodded: "Okay, then..."

"I understand. I will contact them right away."

"Jacques! Are you done talking? Let's set off!" At this time, Fei'er urged in the carriage.

Jacques could only say goodbye to Bert.

"Master Jacques, have a good trip. The next time we meet will probably be at least three months later. Master Paul would be very happy if he knew your progress in the past few months." Bert said with a smile.
