Chapter Thirty-Five: The Stormtown's Powerful Operation
Ma's last delivery man to return to the manor, he handed the coins to Anduin while explaining the reason for "returning empty-handed", which surprised Anduin and immediately delivered a drawer of freshly baked xiaolongbao, which cost as much as one gold coin compared to long and short bread, but Anduin felt that Mazeif had a good chance and inadvertently created a profit for him far more than one gold coin!
Seeing Ma's selfless distribution of xiaolongbao to the other nine delivery workers, Anduin was very happy to hear the surprise and admiration that followed the silence, in fact, he had planned to give the ten townspeople extra money, but they only chose one breakfast.
I have to say that the strong response of the townspeople was something that even Anduin could not foresee, originally he only prepared fifteen truckloads of bread for breakfast, but the first thing each delivery man said when he came back was to ask if there was any stock, thanks to the fact that Gourmet No. 1 was able to work all night without sleep to ensure that there were enough ingredients to make enough bread, which also allowed Anduin to get twice the estimated income, not only offsetting the electricity consumption for a day, but even earning two more crystals.
Don't underestimate the pure profit, you must know that Anduin's marketing strategy for the townspeople is small profits and quick turnover, and these two crystals are just takeaway revenues, and the greater role is to stimulate the townspeople's desire to consume, and the response is very good, so good that it exceeds Anduin's expectations.
Of course, some people don't need to be stimulated to sit at the bar and gobble it up.
The exemplar of this is the bearded dwarf Hera Tieli, who has ten layers of cage drawers in his hand, and Van Cleef and a group of architects have already rubbed his stomach and collapsed on the sofa, but he still maintains good combat power, and one by one the buns are stuffed into his mouth without stopping, and he almost stuffs the cage drawer into his mouth.
Van Cleef shook his head: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, eat hot pot if you don't want to dip it, forget it, eat a ......"
"Xiao Long Bao!"
"Yes, you're in such a hurry to eat a xiaolongbao, you can't taste such a rich soup, so you're busy swallowing it!" Van Cleef speculated a little maliciously, "How do I think that you will be reimbursed for this business trip!" ”
The bearded dwarf was stunned, and Chong Anduin, who was full of oil, smiled, and then continued to eat Hese busily, causing everyone to roll their eyes, and the feelings really made Van Cleef right!
Whew!
A group of architects stared at their own president, and Van Cleef shook his head helplessly: "Okay, reimbursement will be reimbursed, anyway, Earl Anduin gave us a lot of money to kill dragons, and it is just in time for the Winter Veil Festival, the brothers will rest here for a few days, and I will eat and live, so I should give Boss Anduin a rush!" ”
The architects cheered and heard Anduin smile again and again, this is the charm of food, the irresistible charm, but in the morning when he was ready to use xiaolongbao and someone in exchange for a good morning hug, he was ruthlessly refused, of course, Anduin did not get nothing, but used his mental vision to get a new stalker card.
Now that there are two mountains of turnaround and Titan bones, Anduin doesn't want to waste energy crystals easily, so he cherishes the ten crystals he gives every day, but whenever he has the opportunity to generate the target of the follower card, he will resist the urge to steal the card, and wait until the favorability reaches a certain standard and improves the success rate of obtaining rare cards, and then he will quietly start, and the legendary characters are even more so, until the card is formed, he dares to reach out to Sonia......
Ahem!
To get back to the point, as soon as Ma's Shifu and the others finished eating, a large number of townspeople poured into the Hearthstone Inn, and it was not a regular meal now, so it was a little strange for Anduin, could it be that these people were not satisfied with the price of breakfast? Or is the bread not to taste?
Little Kane, who was the representative of the speaker, answered Anduin's doubts: "Lord Earl, I think it will be an eternal regret that I couldn't taste the hot pot last night, but fortunately, I didn't miss this morning's bread!" The reason why we people are here is just to ask one thing, Lord Earl, can you really make money from taking out early? ”
Anduin looked at the crowd and met with burning eyes, he felt that if he didn't tell the truth, these people would not believe it: "Let me tell you the truth, although the size of the bread looks the same as before, it actually consumes fewer ingredients, because the fermentation method I use is more efficient, which makes the dough fluffier and tastes better." These are trade secrets, and I can't say anything about them, and even if I tell you, you won't want me to reduce the price! ”
Anduin deliberately showed an expression that would rather die than give in, making Van Cleef and the others take the lead in laughing.
In the midst of the laughter, little Kane had a solemn face: "Lord Earl, thank you for bringing us more food than you can imagine, I think I can't forget the wonderful taste of two kinds of bread, and everyone else is like me, so we decided to buy hotel food for breakfast every day, and in order to let everyone eat food early, we are ready to pay a part of the deposit in advance to reduce unnecessary processes." ”
How can there be such an operation?
Anduin assured him that he had never thought of doing so, but the townsfolk insisted, especially some, who shouted loudly: "Lord Anduin, I live in the outermost part of the town, and I eat an hour late!" ”
Van Cleef on the side was also a little dumbfounded, in this era of materialism in the world, there are two main reasons for such a scene, one is that the novelty of the Hearthstone Inn is definitely worth their decision, and the other is that Anduin's prestige has far exceeded the normal scope!
In the midst of the crowd's emotions, Anduin thought carefully and decisively adopted this method: "In this case, I decided to listen to everyone's opinions, first collect a seven-day deposit, and wait until seven days later, I will appropriately add other kinds of breakfast, the price is high and low, but please rest assured, it will definitely not exceed the acceptable range, and at the same time, when the next deposit is collected, everyone will try it first!" ”
"Good!"
Little Kane took the lead in applauding, and the others naturally answered the same way, most of them had an income source of working for the manor, and in Stormwind Town, where entertainment was scarce, eating was the biggest expense, and if they could eat better food at the same price, everyone would cheer for it, and then, all the townspeople began to consciously line up and register for a deposit, which not only made Van Cleef and others look at it again and again, but also scared Jones and Kidd who walked into the inn.
"Why are there so many people?"
As the head of the Inquisition, Archbishop Kidd thought professionally that Anduin was holding an illegal assembly, or that the townspeople found out that there was a problem with breakfast, so Jones asked the bearded dwarf who was finally well fed, and immediately showed an expression that was no different from Van Cleaf.
What else can you do about buying and selling?
Archbishop Kidd shook his head when he heard this, Vice President Jones nodded his head when he heard it, the former felt that if Anduin had gone the old way, his destructive power would definitely be several times stronger than Benedictas, but the latter thought that his eyesight was still as precise and vicious as ever!
While Anduin had finalized the registration format, Jones hurriedly pulled him over and asked, "Is there any bread?" ”
Anduin raised a frown, but he heard Masif say that the small half car had been sold to them earlier, and he hadn't eaten yet? Jones coughed a little embarrassed, strength means increased consumption, and after being hungry and freezing all night, he naturally had to eat more food, so Archbishop Kidd, who was originally planning to leave immediately, was forcibly pulled over by Jones, and then saw such a strange scene.
"Boss, xiaolongbao, delicious!"
The bearded dwarf came over, wiped off the food scraps on his beard, and said with a smile, Anduin immediately sent a drawer, Jones took a look, and felt that this strangely named food, the shape was also strange, the white flower skin was soft and collapsed on the cage drawer, and you could vaguely see the gloomy soup, flowing under the folds like mountains, if the sweet bread is the source of the river that rushes from the ridge, then this so-called xiaolongbao thing is the groundwater hidden under the mountain peak!
Well, groundwater!
Jones felt that in his current state, the only analogy he could think of was groundwater, so he gently twisted one and asked casually, "How much do these buns cost?" ”
"A gold coin."
"What...... What the? Jones's wrist froze, "One gold coin is enough for me to eat at the Silver Fortress!" ”
"I'll talk about it after eating."
Archbishop Kidd, who was standing next to him, was silent, watched Jones swallow one, and then picked up a cage, Anduin asked lightly, "Is it worth it?" ”
"Ahem, it's worth it!"
Finding Kidd's surprised look, Jones knew that he had lost face, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and patted down ten gold coins very magnificently, and said with his head held high: "Nine more cages!" ”
Van Cleef interjected playfully: "How can ten cages be enough to eat?" This dwarf brother has eaten fifteen cages! ”
"Nonsense, it's obviously eighteen cages, eh, boss, why are you beating me?"
Jones glared at Hera Tieli, who was crying out: "When the time comes, report the expenses to the boss, the four of us will make a list, and you will make a list yourself!" ”
"Don't!"
The bearded dwarf was anxious, and he saw that others laughed again and again, but Archbishop Kidd, who had been watching from the sidelines, quietly frowned, the more he looked at Anduin, the more he felt that he would become the second Benedictas, in order to prevent a possible tragedy, he thought that it was necessary to send someone to monitor Anduin's every move, and suddenly said: "Count Anduin, the church has collapsed, leaving the devout believers in Stormwind Town without a place to worship, I hope that Stormwind Town can rebuild the church as soon as possible." ”
Anduin nodded slightly, he had no problem with this, anyway, the church was built, and sooner or later the new bishopric priest would become a stable customer.
Seeing that he was in a good attitude, Kidd nodded secretly, and continued: "According to the past practice, the reconstruction cost will require half of the ...... of Stormwind."
"Impossible! Whoever loves this money will come out! ”
Anduin didn't even want to interrupt directly, whoever asked him to pay for him was in a hurry, even the chief of the magistrate was no exception, just a little change to the manor cost five hundred gold coins, and the rebuilding of the church must not be drained?
"Absolutely not!" Kidd's attitude was extremely tough, "The iron law of the Holy Empire stipulates that every market town must be built to provide a place for believers to worship collectively, and there is only one church in Stormwind Town, you want believers to lose their harbor of belonging?" ”
"I'm sorry, Archbishop Kidd, although Stormwind has only one church, but it's not just a place of collective worship!"
Anduin didn't give in, raised his hand to the wall behind him, and everyone looked at it, only to find that an area behind Anduin was carved with bas-reliefs, and the outline of the pattern of the Holy Light Salvation could be vaguely seen, which was when the renovation was about to be completed, and Van Cleef suggested that Anduin add details in order to block the mouth of the Holy See without affecting the customer's perception.
It has to be said that it is a good habit to be good at taking reasonable opinions, and Anduin followed Van Cleef's advice, so that Archbishop Kidd had no excuse to continue his troubles.
Seeing that the two had a quarrel again, Jones had no choice but to reluctantly put down the xiaolongbao and play the role of peace again: "What does Archbishop Kidd mean is to let the believers worship in peace, and Earl Anduin is a priest and happens to have a suitable place, I don't think it's better to do this, don't the townspeople pay a deposit every seven days?" Simply adjust the time to Sunday, and let Count Anduin personally lead the believers' worship, and possibly develop more believers, you can definitely get the best of both worlds! ”
"What is the system of worshippers worshipping the Holy Light in hotels?"
Kidd was furious and roared, which immediately made all the townspeople look over, their expressions were a little strange, what was wrong with worshipping the Holy Light in the inn? Some devout believers go to Silver Fortress, and there are always people who can't make it to church for various reasons, let alone in hotels, and it's common in the wilderness.
Anduin said lightly: "As long as you have the Holy Light in your heart, even if you are in the dark, you can sense where the Holy Light is, if Archbishop Kidd is still stuck to the form, I can only say that you have never really embraced the Holy Light, but simply used it as an object of worship." ”
This sentence, for a believer, almost reached the level of heart-wrenching, so the eyelids of Jones and others jumped, and they secretly prepared to contain the outbreak of the battle.
The emaciated archbishop, however, fell silent for the first time, and after a few breaths that Anduin seemed to have passed, he turned away without saying a word, leaving behind an indescribably straight back......
