Chapter 134: Turning Point

"Can I trust you to entrust you with the task of conveying Andrarui's goodwill?" the silence of the audience made the Son of the Abyss feel an indescribable discomfort, and he thought that such sincerity would be enough to impress these good people who knew right from wrong. But the dodging gaze of the elves made him feel that a piece of his sincere heart was placed on the flames, and nothing but wishful thinking could not be answered, and then only invisible torment remained!

"Your Highness...... Can we goblins take on the responsibility of running a shop?" Manna echoed Andre's anticipation in an awkward silence. He felt that His Highness was willing to accept goblins who were too petite to do much work, and that it was already rare to pay for them, and that he should not have asked for anything more. But as soon as she saw His Highness's expectant eyes began to become lost, she couldn't help but ask.

Completely beyond Andre's expectations, the first person who dared to respond to him head-on was this little goblin who didn't seem to be very reliable. Looking at the little faces of the elves full of anticipation, the stunned expression of the children of the abyss became calm, their black eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of their ruddy mouths turned up irrepressibly.

"Of course, you can, but you still have a lot to learn if you want to be a good shopkeeper! At least you'll have to learn to do the math, and given your size, you'll probably have to hire a lot of 'big' employees, and I'm sure you can do it, just with a little more effort than others." André gently stretched out his fingers, and the elfs' "eldest sister" shook the fingers of the children of the abyss with their two hands - a warm handshake meant that they had reached a preliminary intention of cooperation, which was a special courtesy from Andrarui.

"Then all of our goblins are willing to share the responsibility of running a shop!" Mana dangled excitedly around Andrei's side like a forest peak who had discovered a field of brilliant flowers, and danced a dance representing joy. Although the elves are a strange race, they are more like vassals of the elves when they stay in Garanord. Although the abundant resources of the forest do not bring any burden to the elven kingdom, they can live a very nourishing life without labor, and they are more like mascots who survive on the gifts of the elves. André's promise gave Manna the first feeling that she was useful enough to take on such a great responsibility, and the smug leprechaun began to smirk with a writhing "hehe".

"Stop giggling, Mana. A stern and venomous wind goblin in the elf team began to pour cold water, "We still have to think about where to recruit people! There aren't many people here who are good at cooking in Garlanord, so you don't want to go into battle yourself!?"

"Why don't you let Manna make snacks? Manna has taken all the lessons taught by Mr. Hawkins to heart!"

"You alone can't even match the dough and sugar, let alone the iron pot that the three goblins can't carry!"

"Aren't there so many hobbit chefs here, Your Highness, shall we hire them?" asked Manna weakly.

"Don't be stupid! Your Highness has made it clear that he is understaffed, so how can a chef let us hire him?"

Seeing the two goblins arguing with themselves like this, Andre showed a helpless wry smile. If the elves are as responsive as he expected, then Hawkins and his people can also serve as advisors to provide very specific advice to each restaurant. It's just that according to the current situation, the ten halfling chefs here may inevitably have to take on the responsibilities of the manager and chef alone...... It's just that I don't know if the recruitment process of the various employees that are lacking in the stores in the plan will go smoothly, and judging by the reactions of the elves here, it may not be as easy as he thought before.

"If the store needs help, I'm willing to do my part!" Knowing Andrari's predicament, the young elven guard was the first to show his support.

"Thank you so much for your support, Mr. Chris. It's just that why don't you want to take on the responsibility of running a business and yet want to help us as an employee?" asked Andrei, a little curious.

"Your Highness, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I only scratched the surface of cooking, and I didn't feel confident about running a restaurant like Emerald Scales. I have never commanded anyone, and I don't understand any methods and know-how to run a business, so I am afraid that I will live up to your high expectations......"

"But we have our own mature team to make all kinds of detailed plans and consultations for you!"

"But after all, no one has really come into contact with the novelty of running a shop, and I really don't have the confidence to be afraid that it will hold Andrarui back. Chris smiled shyly.

"Your Highness, my friend and I are like Chris, we don't have the confidence to run a shop well and take on the responsibility of guiding all the employees in the shop. But if your restaurant is short of staff, we must be obliged, if you tell us what to do!"

Sometimes the impasse is just the herd mentality of the people, and with the first person who dares to express that he has not taken responsibility, but is willing to contribute, the next statement of the elves changes the previous silence, and the support continues to pour in the slightly crowded restaurants.

By this time, Andre had understood what the problem was, although counting the nine new hobbit chefs and eager goblins here, he could barely bring ten new restaurants in total. However, André believes that as long as the elves are willing to work in it, they will eventually come into contact with a lot of common sense and experience about management, and it will not be long before some of these people may produce some "store assistants", "agent store managers" and even "store manager candidates" who are capable of taking charge on their own. It's just that for the current situation, there is no leisure time for them to slowly accumulate experience and grow up! Eighteen new stores are already the basic bottom line of fully covering the area with the most foot traffic in Garranord, and if you want Andrari's publicity strategy to affect as many elves as possible, this number can only be more, not less!

Just as André was thinking about how to "trick" at least one of the elves into taking over the burden of the operator, the wooden card was already hung up, and a voice came from outside the door guarded by Naga that surprised the children of the abyss.

"His Royal Highness Andre is so generous, I don't think he will object to us taking over your good business, right?" The eldest princess Luo Shan and Her Royal Highness Irrien, dressed in a light white veil, walked in from outside the door with several female elves who seemed to be waiters, and Andre's eyes passed over the two princesses and even saw the elderly speaker and several councillors behind them!

The elves in the restaurant turned to salute their regents, future queens, and elders who had done their utmost for the kingdom.

"Would you like to choose one of these locations?" The lord of Andrari, though he had also considered turning to his supporters in Garanord, did not open up to them, considering that running a shop was a long and very draining task.

"Why did Your Highness become stingy today for no reason? Illion and I have to choose our own shops!" "The eldest princess, who is nearly seven hundred years old, smiled brightly like a little girl who got candy, "Of course, the construction costs and detailed consultation are all responsible for your Highness, you won't be reluctant because we still have some family background, right?"

The eldest princess of this ancient kingdom did not regard herself as an outsider, and her tone was intimate but not polite at all.

"I'm just afraid that the two Highnesses are busy with official business and don't have the time and energy to focus on this......"

"You don't have to worry about this, Your Highness...... Well, I'll just choose this place. The eldest princess randomly chose a red dot on the map.

"Please leave it to me. Dressed in a loose emerald green shirt and with long golden hair tied up slightly curly, His Highness Irion nodded calmly towards the Children of the Abyss.

"Then I'll choose this one. Speaker Darren Hill, whose hair was thinning, said after a moment's thought.

"Grandpa, how can you still get this job at your age?" said Edward, walking briskly over to his grandfather.

He had come with his wife today, and Edward couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw his grandfather, who was not as energetic as before, take on the initiative to take on a new gadget that the young man did not dare to try.

"Do you think I chose it for myself?" said the Speaker, smiling very happily, "Doesn't this girl Helen already have the idea of trying it?

"But Helen, she still has to take care of the children!" retorted the young woodcarver without thinking.

"It's okay kid, both of your parents will help you as much as you can. ”

......

With the respected princess and the elders taking on the responsibilities of the operator's representatives, the remaining young elves suddenly felt much less stressed, and they enthusiastically asked which shops needed what kind of helpers, and for a while, the jade fish scales became very lively.

Chris, who had served as a guard in the warehouses of "Emerald Scales" and "From the Abyss", secretly approached behind Her Royal Highness the Princess, and whispered in the ear of Illion's maid, "Qilia, why did you come here?"

"Uh-huh~!" the lively maid issued a lovely tone particle, "In the future, this shop nominally belongs to His Highness, but in fact it is under my control! His Highness also promised to give it to me as a dowry in the future! Chris, do you want to come and help me?"

The young guard originally wanted to save some savings through the salary of his work, so that he could buy some small gifts for his favorite girl to make a marriage or propose marriage in the future, but in a blink of an eye, the girl in his heart has changed from a cute maid to a restaurant owner!

Then he thought about it a little bit - it was a job wherever he worked anyway, so it was better to stay under Qi Liya's hands, and there would be many more opportunities to meet...... Although working under his sweetheart can make him feel a little awkward. Saying...... D3 is now in a new season┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
