Maple Leaf City is a small town in the south of the Thorn Kingdom, with a population of less than 50,000 people and a remote location.

George had never heard of the existence of Maple Leaf City before, and it was Evan who chose to come to Maple Leaf City.

There are several reasons to choose Maple Leaf City.

First, Maple Leaf City is far enough away from Baron Sandy's location that it won't be troubled in the future.

Second, Maple Leaf City is located in a remote area, with a small population, and it is a small place, but because it is a small place, there are no strong people here, and it is easier to mix up as an apprentice summoner for Ai Wen.

The third, and arguably most important, is that it is relatively close to the Lost Grassland.

The Confused Grassland is listed as one of the four major murderous places on the continent and is one of the most densely populated locations of Warcraft.

The Confused Grassland is dangerous, but in the Confused Grassland, there are also countless opportunities hidden in it, and if Ai Wen wants to become strong, he needs to fight and hone in an environment like the Confused Grassland.

In the first time in Maple Leaf City, Evan bought a house with a yard, and this will be their home in the future.

After buying the house, Evan persuaded Uncle George and Aunt Mena not to let them continue to go out to do things, and their family's current gold coins were enough for life, and there was no need to go out to do things.

The reason why Evan persuaded the two was for the sake of the family, what if they went out to do things and got into trouble again?

George was also a little scared when he heard Evan say this, and their family was really not short of money, so they followed Aivan's instructions and stopped going out to do things in the future.

Besides, just because you don't go out to do things doesn't mean you can't make money at home.

According to Aven's idea, he wanted to start a small processing workshop so that he could make money at home.

The sales business is handed over to other people, and he is only responsible for production.

Because of this idea, when buying a house, Ai Wen directly bought the house next to it, and only needed to renovate the house next to it to turn it into a small workshop.

As for the processing industry that Ai Wen chose, it was food processing, to be precise, processed bacon.

Evan has been out a few times, and the biggest feeling is that there is not enough food to eat on the road, generally speaking, it is best to prepare bacon when going out, and if you can bring some bacon, there will be no shortage of food on the road.

Therefore, the demand for bacon is very huge, but the quality of smoked meat is high and low, some bacon is delicious, and some bacon is difficult to eat.

In Aiwen's opinion, as long as you make delicious bacon, there is no shortage of sales.

After three busy days, the bacon workshop was finally established.

The scale of this bacon workshop is not large, there are less than twenty workers, and Evan has not thought about how much money he makes from this bacon workshop, mainly to find something to do for Mr. and Mrs. George, and the second point is also to hide people's eyes, otherwise, the family will not do anything, but the money will not be used up, it will definitely attract the attention of others.

But with this bacon workshop, with this legitimate business, a lot of trouble will be saved.

Moreover, the bacon workshop is only responsible for the production and sales, and it is handed over to other people to do.

There is also a secret recipe for the production of bacon, this secret recipe is researched by Ai Wen, Ai Wen has given the secret method to George, every time he makes bacon, the key part needs to be done by George himself, there is not much work, but it is very important, and George is also happy in it.

Aiwen's bacon takes time to make it, and it takes a month to make a batch, and after the first batch of bacon is made, Aiwen takes a piece of bacon and goes to the Adventurer's Guild to recommend the bacon to the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild has a huge demand for smoked meat, and bringing bacon to the Adventurer's Guild can be sold for a good price.

If it was an ordinary person, who came to the door with bacon to find a market, he would have been driven away a long time ago, but Ai Wen is not an ordinary person, he is a trainee summoner, although he is only a trainee, but he has already entered that sequence, which is equivalent to a person in the system, it is completely different.

So when Ai Wen came to sell bacon, he got permission, but Ai Wen only got permission, whether to accept it or not depends on the quality of the bacon, if the quality is not good, then even if the price is cheap, he will not buy it.

Ai Wen didn't say anything, just cut off a piece of bacon with a knife and handed it directly to the other party to eat.

Evan is still very confident in his bacon.

Bacon can be eaten as is, but if it is eaten directly, the meat is relatively hard, and if it can be eaten hot, it will be perfect.

The other party took the bacon and threw it directly in his mouth to chew for a while, and after chewing, his eyes suddenly lit up, nodded and said, "Yes, it tastes quite good, and the taste is better." ”

Ordinary bacon is relatively hard, but Aiwen's bacon is very soft and delicious.

Geoffroy, who was in charge of purchasing, nodded and said with a smile: "Very good bacon, I will take as much bacon as you have." ”

Ai Wen smiled and said: "What about the price, our family's bacon, you also know the quality, what price are you going to give me." ”

Geoffroy secretly calculated and said: "The average bacon on the market is sold for two kilograms of one gold coin, and I pay double the price, one gold coin for one kilogram." ”

Double the price, Ai Wen is also very satisfied, you know, the cost of a kilogram of bacon is only thirty silver coins, and now the price of a kilogram of bacon is one gold coin, and the price has tripled.

And Geoffroy is also very satisfied with the price of the smoked meat, which is of excellent quality, and the price can be doubled immediately after being shipped outside, so it is also a very good deal for Geoffroy.

After the two sides negotiate the price, the rest is easy to say, and it is agreed that the goods will be delivered once a month, and the first transaction can be carried out tomorrow.

In the first month, Aven made 2,000 kilograms of bacon, which was worth 2,000 gold coins.

After closing the deal, George smiled from ear to ear.

This time, the business is more stable than the barbecue business, and with the bacon workshop, the family can live a prosperous life in peace.

It's just that what makes George incomprehensible is that Evan has no plans to live a stable life.

Evan had already told George that his ideal was to become a great nobleman and establish great achievements, so it was impossible for him to live a stable life here.

Evan also told George that their lives were not completely stable now, because their family's strength was too weak, and what if a nobleman took a fancy to their bacon business again?

When the time comes, they will also hand over the bacon business? If the other party is not satisfied with the deal, and after the deal is completed, they will kill people and kill them? What should I do at that time?

Therefore, if you want to survive in this world, you can't do it without strong strength.

Ai Wen also knows his own situation very well, although he has a strong power in his body, but this power is not under his control, and he cannot be guided to use it, and the current situation is that his physical qualifications are very bad, and he can't practice magic at all, and he can't improve his cultivation through cultivation.

Then the only way for Ai Wen to improve his cultivation is to make himself stronger by taking various fruits.

However, these fruits are not so easy to get, and there are two ways to obtain these fruits, one is to go to the area where dangerous monsters live to find them, and the other is to buy them at a high price.

No matter which path it is, it is not an easy task, and buying magic fruits requires huge financial resources and strong strength, otherwise, as soon as you reveal your wealth, someone will immediately come to you.

Although Ai Wen has the intention to improve his strength, Ai Wen also knows that his strength is not easy to improve, and he can't be in a hurry, so he can only take his time step by step.

Now, the first step is to hire a guard.

It is impossible for Ai Wen to stay at home every day, and the family is now considered a small asset, if there is no guard, Ai Wen is really not at ease, although a small thief can give the George couple results.

So hiring a guard is a must.

Evan is hired directly in the Adventurer's Guild, which provides a variety of businesses, and providing guards is also one of the businesses of the Adventurer's Guild, and it is also one of the main businesses.

However, these hired guards are not provided by the Adventurer's Guild, the Adventurer's Guild is just a platform, so they can only contact the guards, but there is no way to provide guards.

Evan can post a request to recruit guards in the Adventurer's Guild and then hire them through the Adventurer's Guild.

Evan asked to hire a Black Iron Warrior on the condition that he had a family, and it would be better if he could have children, and the family had to come with him, and Evan offered to pay for the living expenses of the other party's whole family, and provided a commission of fifty gold coins every month.

This pay is not low, but Aven's request is more strange.

Usually, when employers hire guards, they prefer single guards, which can reduce the cost and can be more convenient and less worrying.

However, the Adventurer's Guild had no objection to Aven's request, and even guessed the reason for Aven's request, and it was obvious that having a family burden of guards would make people feel more at ease.

The news of the hiring of a guardian will spread among the adventurer's guild within a radius of 500 kilometers, which is the lowest price, and if they pay more commissions, they can spread the news of the hire even further.

But obviously, there was no need for that, after all, Aven's requirements were not too high.

The Adventurer's Guild was very efficient, and on the second day, the news came back.

A total of twenty-three Black Iron Warriors were interested in Aven's request for employment, and twenty-three identification documents had already appeared in front of Aven.

Ai Wen checked the other party's information one by one, and felt that it was okay, so he put the information aside, so that when all the information was read once, there were only five suitable ones left, and then among the five materials, he made a choice, and after comparing them, he picked out one of them.

This person's name is Tommy, he is forty-five years old this year, he is no longer young, but he also has the advantage of being older, the first point is that he has rich combat experience, he has joined the mercenary since he was fifteen years old, and he has been working for twenty-five years, and he retired at the age of forty, and after the age of forty, Tommy started working as a guard, and has been doing it for five years, and his record has been good, and his employer has not had any major accidents.

Tommy was married at the age of 30 and has a 14-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter.

Tommy's family situation is obviously very good.

Tommy has to support his family, so he takes his work as a guard very seriously, and because his family is here, he can also be more at ease with Tommy.

Evan ended up choosing Tommy's family.

The news of hiring Tommy's family has been passed through the Adventurer's Guild, and Tommy's family is not too far from Maple Leaf City, and it is believed that they can come over in three or five days.

Before Tommy's family arrived, Evan had something to do.

For Aven, the house he lives in now is too unsafe to have any defenses, although Tommy will be moved in later, but it is clear that there is no way to completely protect this place by relying on just one guard.

Ai Wen took advantage of the past few days to start arranging defenses for his home.

First of all, there are all kinds of traps, don't underestimate all kinds of traps, when necessary, these traps can achieve deadly effects.

All the traps were designed by Evan himself, and then he went to the blacksmith's shop and then the blacksmith created them.

The blacksmiths here, although the craftsmanship is a little behind, are all handmade, but the craftsmanship is extremely superb, and after Ai Wen told them the specific data of the things to be built, all of them were built, and there were basically no errors.

These traps were set up by Aven around his home and workshop.

The arrangement of these traps is very particular, and there are no traps on the roads taken by normal people, only those abnormal paths will be arranged.

In this way, it doesn't matter if you walk in or out of your own person, but if a petty thief enters the house by climbing over the wall or other places, he will immediately encounter a trap attack.

All the traps are smeared with anesthetic, and if you are hit by the trap, if you don't die, you will be paralyzed and fall to the ground because of the anesthetic.

These traps are only used to deal with ordinary thieves, and the traps that are really used against professional masters are magic traps.

Evan himself doesn't know how to make magic traps, but he knows the principle of magic traps relatively well, and through the principle, he can also make rough magic traps by buying some magic items.

It's as if the ancients didn't know how to make grenades, but as long as they knew the principle of grenades, they could also make the corresponding weapon - the Earthquake Thunder.

The Earthquake Thunder is equivalent to a large firecracker, and the principle is actually the same as a grenade. (To be continued.) )
