Chapter Forty-Nine: The Lazy Anduin
"Do you have to pay to sit at a party?"
"Of course, we treat every customer the same."
"How much?"
"Hardware coins, Tong Su is not bullied, refuse to bargain!"
If this was not Stormwind but the Silver Fortress, the three merchants would have smashed the shop, cut off all supplies, and united all the trading houses in the Silver Fortress to resist Anduin until he lost money and closed his family.
Five gold coins was not a small number, and at least they could have a comfortable meal in the best tavern in Silver Fortress, but they didn't think that this strange inn in the remote area had the slightest chance of giving them the same service.
The grumpy merchant laughed angrily: "Count Anduin, we know that you are the lord of Stormwind Town, and all the townspeople have to be obedient to you, but if you have a casual dinner, you dare to ask for five gold coins, even if under the rule of Count Berval, no matter how rich the people of Stormwind are, they can't withstand your toss for a few days!" ”
"He said this a little punchily, but there is still a reason, if Count Anduin thinks that if he can do whatever he wants by sitting firmly in the position of lord, then His Royal Highness Prince Terenus will definitely not be able to stay outside the silver barrier from the orcs in a few decades!"
"Count Anduin, open a shop and do business, but you have to follow the rules, even if Stormwind Town is not under the jurisdiction of the fortress, but sooner or later you will suffer, if there is a big trouble, Prince Terenus will even take off your noble status, Count Anduin, listen to our advice, everyone is harmonious and wealthy, don't be too ambitious!"
The three merchants were obviously stimulated by the high price, and began to ignore the number of occasions Anduin, and the great knight Ed stepped forward quietly, which made them shut their mouths.
The merchant who had just spoken the most lightly changed his smile to a pleasant face: "That's it, Count Anduin, in previous years we would stay overnight in the manor, and today is no exception. Well, we won't be at this party, you just need to serve some light dinner, and while it's not clear why you'd ask to talk about the deal after the party, we can wait in the room until then. ”
The merchant smiled shrewdly: "We are tired from the fortress, we want to open a room for a good rest now, and we will not come down for dinner, and when the party is over, send someone to inform us!" ”
The other two merchants nodded their heads again and again, none of them wanted to spend money in vain, but the appearance of these three people, in the eyes of others, especially the three explorers who missed the hot pot, was exactly the same as they were at the beginning, although they still didn't know the party meal, but with the food supply these days, Bao Zhun Er would not disappoint!
No matter how much some people try to persuade them, they don't see the real evidence, they always think that you will only be deceived and deceived!
At this time, Anduin, who was recognized as a rogue landlord, didn't bother to explain anything, and said lightly: "Come on, take three distinguished guests upstairs!" ”
However, the shrewd and wealthy merchant did not hurry to leave, and before leaving, he specially inquired about the price of dinner, and Anduin should do it according to the standards of ordinary townspeople, so that he could leave with peace of mind. As soon as the three of them disappeared, the group of people gathered at the door all rushed to the bar and asked curiously, "Count Anduin, what do you eat at night?" Reveal a little bit of the news, we will not make a noise! ”
Looking at these flickering eyes, as well as the favorability above their heads, Anduin nodded slightly, and in a few days it will be the time for the final inspection, and it is time to harvest the leeks that have been raised for so long!
Anduin thought about it, and didn't plan to say it immediately, first returned to the back kitchen to find that Sonia was gone, and Jenny Turtle was beaten all over his head, so he took the molded ingredients from the side of the knife and light Gourmand No. 1, and then slowly walked out in the expectant eyes.
"You all want to know what to eat tonight?"
A group of strong men nodded like chickens pecking rice.
"Well, in that case, I won't sell it anymore!"
Anduin waved his big hand, and the ingredients fell on the table, and everyone was busy looking at it, some were puzzled, and some suddenly realized, Hera Tieli patted his belly and laughed: "What should I be, it turned out to be a hot pot!" As the only explorer who is lucky enough to taste hot pot, I would like to strongly recommend to you the original way of eating, do not dip in any sesame sauce and sesame oil, take it out of the pot and swallow it directly, the original taste, the storage is not bad! ”
The explorers who had already heard of the name of the hot pot were looking forward to it, but the architect next to him shook his head and questioned: "That's not right! I'm sure it's not hot pot! Although the ingredients for hot pot have also been processed, they are not what they are now, these are paragraphs, those are slices, and they can't be cooked after putting them in the pot for a while and a half, well, it's not a hot pot, it's definitely not a hot pot! ”
Another architect agreed: "You see, when we ate hot pot, we didn't see so many iron sticks!" ”
The bearded dwarf who had sworn was also confused, and looked at Anduin with a strange smile with everyone else, always feeling that he had an ulterior motive for putting up this battle now!
Cough!
Anduin coughed and restrained his smile: "Everyone has seen what they ate tonight, how to eat it, everyone will know when the time comes!" As you know, today's dinner is a bit special, it is a small party to welcome the explorer branch, and this party should always have the appearance of a party, so I think everyone will be more immersed in the atmosphere of the party by doing it yourself and participating in the food making process! ”
Well......
Everyone showed strange expressions, their own level, they knew that although some people's cooking skills were quite passable, compared to the things in the hotel, they really couldn't get on the table, especially some guys who only knew how to eat, they had never been half a step close to the kitchen, if they were involved, would they still be able to eat this dinner?
Anduin was keenly aware of everyone's doubts, and he also responded very understandingly: "Rest assured, you only need to participate in a very simple session at present, and that is to use iron skewers to skewer the same kind of food into a string!" ”
Saying that, Anduin also demonstrated in public, which made everyone suddenly realize, and Hera Tieli took the lead and said: "This is easy to do, Count Anduin, you will leave it to us!" ”
Looking at the group of explorers and architects, who had become free laborers, Anduin laughed wildly in his heart: "Originally, I thought that it would be too time-consuming to prepare food for dozens of people with Sonia and Me, but Sonia is gone, which will save trouble, and if you have trouble in the future, you can do it again!" ”
In this way, Anduin took on the arduous task of distributing the ingredients very leisurely, and the group of people who were busy chatting about the world were all very serious about stringing all kinds of food.
I can't help but think they're not serious!
It's about whether or not they can have a peaceful night!
So in the beginning, there were always people asking Anduin what kind of ingredients to skewer to, and after Anduin answered them one by one, Jones happened to walk in with an architect. The explorers didn't have a lot of work to clean up, so they went back to the tavern early, and Jones invited an architect to plan and build the foundation first.
It seems that it is still necessary to take a half-year long vacation!
Of course, after Jones confirmed, he still got the answer, thinking that as the president, he didn't have to do it himself, but several architects began to coax: "I said Boss Jones, in order to celebrate the establishment of your explorer branch, we have all started to do it, if you just watch, you can't say it!" ”
Someone took the lead, Hera Tieli and Neracek also began to lead people to stir up, Jones really got tired of it, so he had to compromise: "Okay, okay, obey you, I'll wash my hands and come!" ”
This scene made the businessman who was quietly probing at the corner of the stairs show an inexplicable expression.
Why does this hotel not only have a black price, but also let customers do it themselves?
The attendant felt that the explorers and architects were all sick, and they were not very sick, otherwise how could they take the money to find guilt?
He informed the three merchants of the news, and after a moment of silence, they all looked at each other in disbelief.
The shrewd merchant stood up and walked slowly along the room: "For such a long time, you should also see that this Hearthstone Inn doesn't talk about anything else, at least the guest rooms are good, all kinds of furnishings are very pleasing to the eye, it is much stronger than in the fortress, I just inquired with the attendants, this inn is planned by Anduin himself inside and out, it stands to reason that he should be a capable person, how can he be so unreliable in business?" ”
The grumpy merchant snorted coldly: "I think he is disgusted with the iron law set by Bolval, but he can't increase taxes openly, so he is ready to use this method to let the silver taken by those townspeople be handed back intact!" ”
I have to say that this one's analysis makes some sense, Anduin did not give up the existing group of storm townspeople, and naturally focused on their money bags, but Anduin knew that water could carry a boat and also overturn a boat, so he used the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, as for the food on the menu, the price was set a little high, but the sales object of these things was originally a high-income group.
Anyway, Anduin thinks that the earth's delicacies, especially the Chinese delicacies, are definitely worth this price, otherwise how could those people in the hall be willing to work for Anduin?
The reason for this is that the three merchants can't understand it for the time being, so they all think that Anduin's Hearthstone Inn will definitely not survive this winter, and they even began to think about what kind of impact this "fishing with all their might" will bring to Stormwind Town, and finally decided that when Anduin goes bankrupt and leaves, they will ask the nobles of the Silver Fortress to buy this land, even though there may be natural and man-made disasters, but it must be certain that Stormwind Town is a good place!
"Listening to Anduin's tone, I think we will give up the business of buying goods after the party!"
The shrewd businessman smiled confidently and said, "Then let's take a good look, does he have this ability?" ”
