Chapter 64: Lillian's Tart
Murong Tao deliberately said the popular meaning that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, and looked at Bishop William holding his chin over there and thinking vigorously, he knew that there was a door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It didn't take long for Bishop William to have a bright smile on his face, and he praised Franks for having a good grandson.
"Someone, go and call Sister Lillian here!" Bishop William picked up the bell on the table and shook it vigorously, and the doorkeeper pushed the door in, and when he heard that the bishop was going to summon Lillian, he looked back at Sister Lillian, who was standing there very uncomfortably, and stepped aside, motioning for Lillian to go in by herself, and then closed the door.
"Oh, you're Lillian... Sister Lillian? Speaking of which, it was the first time that Bishop William looked at the somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar little nun in front of him so closely, "Mr. Rudy has just strongly recommended you in front of me to become the honorary manager of the soon-to-be-established sailor's tavern in Port Bavrere, well, I agree!" You have to do a good job and don't let down the trust that the church and Mr. Rudy have placed in you! At the same time, you can go to the war orphans and look for some hard-working little ones that you think can be cultivated to be your deputies and apprentices. I'm looking forward to being the first to taste your own apple pie and tarts! ”
"Yes, thank you very much, Your Excellency!" Sister Lillian covered her mouth, she didn't know how she got out of the study, and she walked a long way with Murong Tao, and then she cheered excitedly, "Thank you so much!" You don't know, I've wanted to have my own dim sum shop for a long time! Although I don't know what the identity of the honorary store manager is, I know my position very well, and I want to be a happy dim sum chef! ”
"Isn't that great?" Murong Tao was also very happy, and after going back to negotiate with the current head of the Poclain family about opening a branch, he would implement this matter together, and he even thought of the name, so he directly used Sister Lillian's name as the brand of the new product, which was called Lillian Egg Tart!
Then, after Sister Lillian retired, she went to choose someone, and after following Murong Tao's advice, she originally just blindly wanted to choose some girls with diligent hands and feet, and also chose some more strong boys. There is also heavy physical labor such as carrying water and noodles, and of course it is up to the boys who are physically strong to take care of it.
When Murong Tao returned to the hotel, Martha knocked on the door with a golden roast chicken and entered his room. Putting the roast chicken on the wooden table, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle when he saw Murong Tao tearing the chicken with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Aggressive", there was a knock on the door, and Serra walked in, "Yo, didn't bother you two, did you?" Looking at the way you eat, it seems that you are feeling a little hungry! ”
"Sister Sierra is here, it's okay, there's still something in the kitchen!" Martha quickly got up and was about to go to the kitchen again, but was stopped by Serra laughing, "I'm just kidding you, I don't have the same appetite as some people!" ”
"Is there anything you have to do here? Wouldn't it really be so boring to watch someone eat ****? Murong Tao was very unhappy with the tone of Serra's speech, and asked deliberately.
"I'm just here to ask when I'm leaving, I've inquired here, and there's no trace of the slave group staying." Apparently Serra was still concerned about the slaves, "But when I inquired, I contacted the person in charge of the Treehouse Tavern here, and they said that a Portuguese slave ship will pass through the English Channel to the port of Hamburg recently, but I wonder if you have the guts?" ”
"How could I not have the guts? Unless they have the strength of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, it's not a dish yet? Murong Tao sucked the juice on his hand and said to Martha, "Can you get me another one?" I don't seem to have enough yet. ”
Martha got up, understanding that the two of them had something to discuss, probably about the slave ship, although she was a little worried about Murong Tao's safety, but recalling the experience of him coming alone to the heavily guarded church to take him away safely, that kind of wit, there shouldn't be anything, right?
"Your little girlfriend seems to be worried about your appearance, do you want to create a little chance for you to be alone?" Sierra teased.
"Didn't we just be alone when you didn't knock?" Murong Tao pretended to be unhappy and said.
"Okay, well, it seems that my existence is disgusting, so I'll leave now!" Serra giggled and was about to leave, but was stopped by Murong Tao, "Speaking of business, how reliable is that information you said?" Don't fool anyone who cares, I don't want to expose myself too early without fullness of wings. ”
"You should know the credibility of the Treehouse Tavern, of course I spent a gold louis for this information, and they have already sent someone to verify the news." Serra's face also returned to seriousness, "Most of the slave ships this time are slaves from the African continent, and a few are from the New World, they should have boarded the ship at the slave transfer station in Serbian Port, and the imam has already received the news!" Popoka will also take people with us this time! ”
Just as Martha returned to Murong Tao's room with a roast chicken, Bayard squeezed into the room first, "There has been news from the Treehouse Tavern, it is said that a Portuguese slave ship full of hundreds of slaves will pass through the port of Bavlers in seven days, because I heard that the news of the encirclement and suppression of the slave group in the port of Cherbourg has spread, and this time this slave group is also equipped with two Spanish frigates to escort it, which is a bit tricky." ”
"Seven days? Bring the charts! Murong Tao took the navigation chart handed by Serra, and after groping around with it, he pointed to a location with his finger, "If all the ships used to transport slaves are much slower than ordinary merchant ships, I estimate that they are currently in the waters near Guernsey, and we are like this... That's... Alright, go get ready! ”
Serra and Bayard nodded knowingly and turned to leave.
"I've heard you talk about the slave group." Martha gently placed the roast chicken in front of Murong Tao, "Although I shouldn't have asked these things, but now the problem of slave trade in the entire Europa continent is serious, and I heard that most of the slaves come from the African continent, where the port of Ceuta is located in the south of the continent?" Those slaves had a large number of unknown diseases, and there were several sick slaves in the church before, and our pastor was helpless to watch them die in agony. I mean, if this unknown disease is transmitted to us..."
"Martha, we can't blindly worry and fear about unknown diseases, we must explore ways to solve them." Murong Tao interrupted Martha while grabbing the roast chicken, "At present, the slave trade trend in the European continent is very high, but since I promised others, I have to set an example." Today we reach out to others, and when we are in trouble, others reach out to help us. Of course, our job is only to cut off the beard, which means to snatch food from the bowls of those slave groups. This kind of business that does not require a lot of capital, why not? ”
Although Martha didn't understand the matter, she listened to Murong Tao's meaning, this kind of business is sure to make a profit, and she thought of the identity of Sierra and the imam, obviously the "others" in Murong Tao's mouth meant the two of them.
"I..." Martha wanted to say something, but was drowned out by Murong Tao's exclamation, "delicious", "delicious", and had no interest in continuing to delve in, just sat quietly next to him, watching this man quickly solve the food cooked by himself.
"Huh? What did you just want to say? Murong Tao deliberately raised his head and asked.
"No... It's nothing. Martha stopped talking, "If you think it's delicious, I'll make it for you next time!" ”
"Well, Sister Lilian, do you know you?" Anyway, they are already preparing to let Lillian and the girl be in charge of the new store here, so you might as well ask Martha what she means, besides, Martha is not safe to follow her, if you are willing to stay in Port Pavrel, with Bishop William under her cover, you don't have to worry too much.
"You mean Sister Marilyn?" There was a smile on Martha's face, "How did you know her?" She's our pistachio! ”
"Soon, Sister Lillian will be working in Lillian's Egg Tart, a pastry shop near the docks of the Sailor's Tavern near the docks of Port Pavrel, with the permission of Bishop William, not only to satisfy the Bishop's food problems, but also to share the living expenses of the war orphans for the church." Murong Tao told Martha about his plan, and Martha knew how happy she was.
"Little Varus, little Varus, hurry up!" Martha shouted in the hallway to the little boy who had come to ventilate the news.
After a while, little Varus, whose hands were covered with white flour and his face were covered with white flour, hurriedly ran up with a bib wrapped around his waist, "Sister Martha, do you have something to do with me?" Oh, I was bored, and I learned from Master Bayard, who told me to start with noodles, you see, all over my hands. ”
The little one's funny appearance immediately aroused Martha's affection, Martha squatted down, took out a clean rag from her bib, and wiped it for him, "Remember Sister Marilyn?" She's going to open a shop by the docks! Would you like to go over and help? I heard that there are some other friends who have passed together! You won't feel lonely anymore! ”
"Sister Martha, you... Is this not for me? The little boy's eyes were suddenly filled with mist, and his voice was a little choked, "I don't want to go, I just want to follow Sister Martha, I'll go wherever you go!" ”
