Chapter 189: A Visitor from Hell (3)
The next day, the Finney City Tavern.
After transporting dozens of barrels of ale, Sidney looked at the help who was carrying the barrels, "Hey, Toby, is Mr. Christopher in the tavern?"
Hearing Sidney's words, Toby, the helper, put down the barrel and said to him, "Yes, where else could it be?"
Sidney smiled and walked into the tavern.
Inside the tavern, Christopher was sitting on a large chair in the tavern, watching a few young helpers struggle to carry the barrels onto the wine racks.
"Good morning, Mr. Christopher. Sidney walked over and said with a respectful expression.
Christopher turned his head to look at him and said in a loud voice, "Sidney, my old fellow, you haven't come to have a few drinks with me in a while. ”
"Well, you're not here to drink with me at this time, what's the matter? Christopher asked him with a smile.
Sidney hurriedly spoke: "My best friend when I was young, Gilsai's daughter, came to join me, her name is Fiona, you know that I have never married a wife, and I have no children, I want to keep Fiona by my side, I don't know if your tavern is short of maids, after Gilsai died, Fiona worked as a maid in the tavern of the imperial capital for a while. ”
"Hmm...... It's such a thing, it's not a problem, my old fellow, if she's not ugly, and a good maid, give her 40 silver coins a month. What do you think?" said Christopher.
"It's really, thank you, Mr. Christopher. Thank you, Mr. Christopher. Sidney replied gratefully.
Christopher smiled and waved his hand: "There has been no new maid in the tavern for a while, you can bring her to the tavern in the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the environment in the tavern first." ”
Sidney nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Christopher, I thank you for Gilsay." ”
"Alright, alright, my old man, we've known each other for decades, this kind of trivial matter, don't be so polite to me, haha, remember to come to the tavern and have two more drinks with me when you have time, my old man. Christopher's loud voice was loud.
After loading the empty barrels into the car, Sidney happily returned to the chamber of commerce and walked straight to his residence.
He hadn't gone far before he saw a large number of people gathered around his house, and he walked quickly and suspiciously.
As soon as I got closer, I saw that this group of people were all young men from their own chamber of commerce, and when they heard the news, they ran over early in the morning to see Fiona.
Sidney, who was a little crying and laughing, clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly to them: "Hey~hey! Hey! I said you, do you have no work on your hands?"
Hearing Sidney's voice, the group of young men quickly burst into laughter and dispersed.
Sidney saw Fiona with his sleeves rolled up, washing some furniture and clothes.
"You're back, Uncle Sidney. Fiona said to Sidney with a shy smile.
Sidney's heart warmed, and he nodded to Fiona: "I went to Mr. Christopher's tavern in the morning to ask, and he said that it is no problem, let me take you over in the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the environment of the tavern first." ”
"Is it true? Uncle Sidney. It's really great. Fiona happily stopped what he was doing and looked at Sidney.
Sidney nodded happily as well, and said, "Yes, Fiona, Mr. Christopher said, 40 silver coins a month." ”
"Would you like to go to the tavern in the afternoon?" asked Fiona.
"Pack up, Fiona, and I'll take you to Mr. Christopher's tavern. Sidney said.
Fiona stood up with a happy face, shook the water in his hand, and walked quickly into the house.
After entering the house, the expression on his face slowly calmed down, showed a smile, and gently coiled the top of his head and simply tied it up. After changing into a clean gray robe, he walked out.
When I walked out of the house, I had a smile of excitement on my face again.
"Alright, Uncle Sidney. Fiona said happily to Sidney.
Seeing the smile on Fiona's face when he changed into a clean robe, Sidney also smiled happily.
"Then let's go, Fiona. Remember to be respectful when you meet Mr. Christopher later. Mr. Christopher is a man of great stature in Finney, you know?" Sidney admonished.
Fiona nodded, "Got it, Uncle Sidney. ”
The Chamber of Commerce's residence was not very far from the tavern, and the two of them walked along the streets of Finney City for a long time before arriving at the tavern.
"Oh, Uncle Sidney, is she the one who is coming to the tavern?"
"She's so pretty!"
"Hey, what a lovely girl. ”
“......”
As soon as Sidney walked into the tavern with Fiona, he immediately attracted the attention of all the helpers in the tavern, and to be precise, it was Fiona who attracted the attention of all the helpers in the tavern.
Listening to the words of the group, Fiona hid behind Sidney with a shy face, clutching the clothes on Sidney's back.
"Alright, alright, you lazy people, get out of here, don't huddle around here!" Christopher shouted out of the kitchen at the back of the tavern when he heard the commotion, and shouted at the tavern helpers.
Christopher's words obviously worked very well, and a group of helpers were scattered in an instant.
"Mr. Christopher. Sidney greeted Christopher as he came out of the kitchen.
"Stand up and I'll see. Christopher said to Fiona behind Sidney, his loud voice loud.
Fiona gently loosened Sidney's clothes behind his back, lowered his head and took a timid step.
"Mr. Christopher, this is Fiona. Sidney hurriedly introduced.
"Hmm... Raise your head, Fiona. Christopher said as he looked at Fiona with his head down.
"Fiona, look up. Sidney hurriedly said to Fiona.
Hearing Sidney's words, Fiona slowly raised his head, and looked at Christopher, who was unusually tall and muscular, with some worry and fear.
When Christopher saw Fiona's face, he looked very happy, and pressed the beard twice on his mouth with a pair of big hands, and said, "What a beautiful girl, your name is Fiona......?" I changed my mind, and you were in charge of collecting money and serving wine at the counter, giving you 80 silver coins a month, and all the tips you received were all your own. What do you think?"
"Thanks... Thank you, Mr. Christopher. Fiona nodded timidly, and then lowered her head again, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which quickly disappeared.
"Haha, what an obedient girl, Sidney, my old fellow, rest assured that Fiona will not be harmed in the tavern, huh...... I promise in the name of the barrel!"
