As soon as Claire returned to the house, he called Regan over.
"Find someone to buy some kelp and seaweed, and find a carpenter in the city to customize hundreds of wooden boxes for salt. They must be as refined and luxurious as possible."
"Forget it." Claire sighed, "I will design the wooden box. When the time comes, you can just go over with the drawings and let them make it according to the drawings above."
Claire also doesn't expect the carpenters in Nafu City to be able to design the exquisite wooden boxes above, so they can only do it themselves.
"Come over and get the drawings in two hours. Those hundreds of boxes must be completed within two days. The construction site can stop for a while."
"Understood!" Regan responded. He had never seen Claire so eager and focused on one thing.
After receiving the order from Claire, Regan immediately led people and carriages towards the seaside villages in the viscounty territory. Although there was kelp and seaweed in Nafu City, it was far from meeting Claire's needs, so he could only go to the villages near the sea to purchase kelp and seaweed.
After returning, Claire gave the drawings he had designed to Regan, and the front of the exquisite wooden box was branded with the letters "Nafu".
Regan pointed at the letters above and asked in confusion, "This is?"
Claire smiled, you don't understand the brand effect.
"This is an important matter related to the development of Nafu City, and there cannot be any mistakes."
"Okay, young master! I will definitely handle it well!"
During this day, Claire stayed in the basement laboratory with the pile of seaweed and kelp, studying how to extract iodine from kelp. Fortunately, he knew the principle in advance, and there is such a magical thing in this world, so he finally extracted iodine at night.
As for the salt, Claire purchased a large amount of salt directly in Nafu City and then dissolved it. There is no need to transport seawater all the way.
After two days of busy work, Claire finally got Iodized Salt out. He didn't sleep at all for two days. The first day he focused on refining iodine, and the second day he spent a lot of time I got Iodized Salt out. It was better the day before but it was just a lot of trouble. The next day it was really hard. Claire's mana was exhausted several times before it kicked nearly a ton of Iodized Salt.
After coming out, he told Regan to invite Shane, and he went to take a bath first.
Before Claire had finished taking a shower, Shane came to the Baronial Manor with interest and waited in the living room.
"Long wait." Claire walked out.
"No." Shane still had a smile on his face, then rubbed his hands and said expectantly, "Lord Viscount, I don't know about the medicine you mentioned..."
Claire did not rush to take out the things, but pointed to the other person's neck in confusion, "Why haven't you been cured yet? Do you want me to call the priest over and cure you?"
Now it's Shane's turn to be surprised. Can the pastor still call over? Those pastors are so arrogant that they usually only go to the church to be baptized for treatment. Even if you are paralyzed in bed, your family has to take you there, otherwise the pastor will not take the initiative to come to your home to baptize you. Unless you are His Highness King, or the church needs to put on a show on some special holiday.
Shane immediately waved his hand and refused. "No, no, I didn't go for treatment on purpose, just to see how effective this medicine is."
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Claire said, and then took out the exquisite small wooden box from his arms.
Shane's eyes lit up. It was not easy just to look at the contents from the package. But why did he say he would be disappointed?
Claire slowly opened the wooden box, "This is not a medicine, and it has no therapeutic effect. The biggest effect is to prevent the disease of big neck."
Shane's eyes widened and he stretched his head over. When he saw what was inside, he thought Claire was making fun of him.
Pointing at the Iodized Salt inside, he said, "Isn't this salt?"
"Yes and no." Claire pushed the salt over, "This is no ordinary salt."
Shane picked it up and looked at it carefully several times. He stretched out his finger and put some in his mouth to taste. The saltiness made him stick out his tongue.
This is just ordinary salt, but it's just what he thinks and doesn't say it out loud.
"Do you doubt its function?" Claire asked directly.
Shane smiled sheepishly. It is indeed true. It is like someone coming to you with a glass of water and saying that drinking it can cure cancer. No one can believe it.
"You must have walked around Nafu City a few times in the past two days, right? Is there anyone with the same symptoms as you?"
Shane nodded. It was indeed true. In order to verify whether Nafu City had such a strange disease as big neck disease, he not only walked around Nafu City several times, but also asked his subordinates to pay attention to the ordinary people who came to buy goods. Indeed, there were no residents suffering from big neck disease like him.
This also verifies what Claire said to him before, that he does have goods that can cure big neck disease.
It's just... this salt is too unreliable. He has been taking in salt along the way, but he still got this strange disease.
"Do you know why you get this disease?" Claire asked.
Shane shook his head. He was just a businessman and not a doctor. How could he know? "I don't know."
"I think you have a long-term lack of something called iodine in your body, and the lack of this thing will cause various symptoms in your body. Big neck disease is just one of them. In addition, it may also cause miscarriage, sluggishness and mental retardation in women. However, big neck disease is more noticeable."
Shane didn't believe it. "How is this possible?"
Claire smiled softly, "How is it impossible? If a person does not eat meat for a long time, his body will become weak. If he does not eat fruits and vegetables for a long time, his gums will bleed. Aren't these all examples?"
Claire didn't tell the other party anything about the functions of vitamin C and protein, and even if he did, the other party might not understand.
Finally, he reached out and pushed the wooden box containing Iodized Salt in the direction of Shane, "Don't the facts prove it? There are no patients with symptoms like yours in Nafu City. Isn't this enough to prove the effect of Iodized Salt?"
After listening to Claire's words, Shane thoughtfully picked up the wooden box again, gently dipped his fingers into the Iodized Salt on it, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
After a while, he put the wooden box down and said, "Lord Viscount, you convinced me."
"Does the salt inside Nafu City have this effect? Maybe I can set up a caravan to sell this special Iodized Salt." After confirming the effect, Shane began to discuss the transaction.
"No, the salt I have in my hand now is Iodized Salt, but this business is very big, and Nafu City will produce this kind of Iodized Salt in the future."
Shane nodded and did not inquire further: Then why do the residents of Nafu City not have big neck disease? That is their business secret. As a professional businessman, I naturally know not to inquire at will.
"How many Iodized Salt does the Viscount have in his hand now? I have accepted them all."
"There was almost one meal. This wooden box contained 2kg of salt. It was almost full of about 500 wooden boxes."
"How much does a wooden box cost you?" Shane's expression became focused as we talked about business.
"No money, all these are given to you for free." Claire said with a smile. You must know that not counting the cost of those Iodized Salts, the wood used in the wooden boxes alone is the best wood in Nafu City, and the cost of each wooden box is more than five Silver Coinss.
"No money!" Shane said in shock. He had been shocked enough when he came to Nafu City, but it was far less than this. How can anyone sell something for free?
"Yes! This is free of charge. I want to reach a new cooperation model with you. I will be responsible for the Iodized Salt and you will be responsible for the sales. When you get the goods, you don't need to pay in advance. You only need to share the profit after selling the salt with me. We will share the profit 30/70. Even if we can't sell it, you can also ship the goods back."
Shane is not stupid enough to ask who is third and who is seventh. This Iodized Salt now belongs to Claire. He, a distributor, still wants to get 70% of it?
Shane thought about it and felt that he would not lose money through this kind of cooperation. Instead, he would have more funds to do other things, so why not do it.
"Deal!" Shane stretched out his right hand, intending to shake hands with Claire to conclude the deal.
But Claire did not stretch out his hand. Instead, he held his chin and asked, "How do you plan to sell this Iodized Salt?"
Thanks to "GK" for the two monthly passes!!!!
