Rochefort saw that the others were still hesitating, so he raised the watering can for fertilizing once again:
"Buy an All-Purpose Flying Car today and get this for free—it's incredibly handy!"
Well, actually, even if a farmer comes to buy a car tomorrow, he'll still get a watering can, but Rochefort will pretend to be troubled, acting as if he's breaking company rules, and beg them not to mention it to anyone.
Soon, two more relatively well-off farmers expressed their desire to buy one.
After that, these men loaded the bee-hive coal they purchased onto their wheelbarrows and, under the envious gaze of the crowd, pushed them home with ease and contentment.
That night, Rochefort stayed at the home of the minor noble Elvigne in the village.
He only sold four wheelbarrows today, which was far from enough.
He had mortgaged all his shares of the coal company to become the agent for the "All-Purpose Flying Car" in southern Reims.
