Amid the impromptu chorus of workers, Charles poured the gravy from the bowl of stew into the rice, tossed well, and ate it in large gulps.

Usually there are not many people eating in the bar, and there are one or two stews on the stove in the bar.

Charles is not a picky eater, he eats whatever is prepared in the bar.

Because the miners were engaged in heavy physical work, their diet was heavy on oil and salt, so the meals served in the bar were no exception.

Today's dish in the bar is carrot cubes stewed with diced pork, and the diced meat, which has more fat than lean meat, has been stewed for almost a day, and the flavor of the spices has penetrated deeply into the meat, and even the carrot cubes stewed together are soaked in greasy gravy.

The bar owner, who knew what Charles was used to, went out of his way to give him a little more gravy for bibimbap, and now the rice in his bowl looked greasy.

Charles, who is growing his body, has a growing appetite now, and at the same time, he is much taller than a year ago, and he has more flesh on his body.

As for the miner's version of "I Dedicate Oil to the Motherland" sung by everyone, Charles said that it was good that the ancestors were happy, and at the same time, he was also glad that the ancestors did not finish the road, so that his descendants still have a way to go.

Just as Charles had finished dinner and was about to settle the bill and go upstairs to rest, the bar owner shouted to him at the bar: "Your Highness, sing us a song, if everyone thinks it sounds good, this meal will be free." ”

The patrons in the bar were silent at first, and then they began to heckle again.

The people who often drink in a bar are a small circle, and these elves, who have been drinking together for more than a hundred years, are extremely tacit when it comes to having fun.

The elf who had just played the piano handed his six-stringed instrument to Charles, and the bar fell silent.

Charles, who had taken over the six-stringed instrument, wondered how to get through it.

It depends on the occasion to copy the text, and if he sings in this bar, he will be blinded, and he has to avoid colliding with his ancestors, so there are not many options.

At this time, Charles suddenly thought of the local industrial layout of Crystal City, and he walked around the city for a while in the past two days when he had free time, and learned something about it.

There are many mining areas in the Crystal City area, and there are many natural miners, and the miners wear sturdy, cheap linen overalls when they work.

Although linen clothing is strong, it cannot withstand the wear and tear of the mine, so there is a large demand for linen products here.

As a result, the Crystal City area has developed a flax cultivation and textile industry.

Most of the male elves in the area now work in the mines, while the female elves mostly work in the linen mills, so many of the girls in the city are female workers in the weaving workshops.

So Charles, after recalling it, played the six-stringed piano and sang a slightly modified version of "The Textile Girl".

She was young and beautiful

Black eyes are shining brightly

Her clever mind thinks far

What are you fantasizing about, beautiful girl x2

......

While Charles was having fun with the working class, Linda, who had begun to step into the world of capitalism on one leg, was in her living room reviewing the sales of the last month's workshop.

Now Linda has learned enough about her father, Antoine II, when dealing with government affairs, and when she looks at the documents, she keeps a straight face, so that her subordinates don't see their mood from their own expressions.

It's just that effect, Mila who was sitting next to her kept holding back a smile.

Last year, after Charles's investment was secured, Diana rented Elizabeth's caravan as a site in an unused warehouse in the Knowledge City business district, and then built a cosmetics workshop there, mainly producing nail polish and hair cream.

Charles didn't understand why these two products were in demand on the island, and Diana's products were very popular with students because of their high quality and low price.

Then Diana became the shopkeeper and handed over the small workshop to Linda to manage, and she only mentioned a few words when Linda had problems.

Linda, who had no previous experience, made a mess of things at first, but she had always seen the king handle government affairs, and after recalling how her father, King Antoine II, handled government affairs in the past, she began to build her own management team.

In the knowledge city, there is no shortage of small aristocrats and commoner students who are eager to take refuge in Jin's thigh and get ahead.

"Alfred. Linda began to take a roll call.

"What does Your Highness command? Alfred Hufen, who had had had brief contact with Charles on the journey, immediately got up from his chair.

"Why did the growth of nail polish sales slow down last month?" asked Linda.

Prepared for this question, Yalfried, who is in charge of sales, replied: "Because my peers put up a lot of advertisements last month, they found beautiful girls from various colleges to be models and printed a lot of advertising pictures. And our publicity only relies on student sales pitches and word-of-mouth publicity. ”

"I see. Linda nodded, "I'll take care of this matter." ”

Although she said that she would solve it herself, she had no bottom in her heart.

The time-honored merchants on the island have a wide network in various colleges, and it is not a problem to find a few beautiful female students to be models, and Linda is at a disadvantage in this regard.

After a while, Linda smiled, "Isn't it a model, I remember Gareth was going to start saving up for a nice longsword." ”

Mila on the side had a black line, and she said, "Gareth is a boy." ”

"So what. Linda said indifferently, "Anyway, nail polish ads only need to show a beautiful hand, who makes Gareth's hands look better than a girl's." ”

Mira was speechless, it seemed that Gareth's child couldn't run away.

At this moment, Baron Rhine, who had been guarding the door, walked in, saluted Linda, and then said, "Your Highness, there are two believers in the Forging Temple who want to see you. ”

Linda's eyes lit up, and she said to Alfred and several other subordinates who came to report on the work: "That's it for today, let's do a good job." Judging from the current situation, the 'double more than half' bonus will definitely not be less. ”

After the students left, Linda began to order, "Rhine, you go and invite the distinguished guests in." Vogling, go to my study and get the red wooden box on the right hand side of the tabletop. Vergonde, go to the kitchen and get two bottles of good wine. Flosheld, you put the chair back in the place. ”

The four Rhine father and daughter all went to work, and Mira, who was sitting next to Linda, also stood up.

"I'll shy away. Mira said.

"No, no, no!" Linda hurriedly grabbed Mira's new skirt, "This matter has something to do with your Maccaden family, you can stay and listen to it too." ”
