The third course is a thick soup made of unknown raw materials, and white pieces of meat the size of fingernails are faintly visible on the soup surface.

When the food truck pushed in, the people in the restaurant all put their voices away, or tasted wine or looked away.

There was a sweet smell in the air, and who among those present had used perfume.

The soup is served and the empty salad plate is removed.

Xu Shuo was doing simple work while secretly observing the people at the table. From the time he was served to the time he returned to the kitchen, he went around the table and could see everyone's faces.

Herschel and Bron both had faint smiles on their faces, and he could tell that they were smiling in a social way.

Sitting at the other end of the long table, the woman directly across from Herschel seemed to be thinking about something, and she could be seen to be a little absent-minded. Xu Shuo guessed that she was Herschel's wife, as she and Herschel wore matching pairs.

Lilian and Xu Shuo smiled when they looked at each other, but looked a little tired.

The girl didn't seem so nervous.

Across from the maiden sat a woman with several jeweled rings on her finger with a proud smile on her face, and next to her sat a man in a dark red gown. The man had an H-shaped beard with sharp edges, and he looked at the girl with a faint unpleasant expression.

The remaining three, including the teenager, were clearly part of the family, and all three of them looked listless. Although the male owner is wearing a formal suit, the inside of the collar is a little yellow; The hostess could see that she had touched a lot of layers of powder on her face to cover up the wrinkles, but it didn't work well; There were still a lot of vegetables left in the ham salad plate in front of the boy, only the ham was missing.

The food truck returned to the kitchen, and when the door closed again, Herschel's voice rang out again.

"Ah, by the way, Ain, my dear cousin, how are you? How are you doing? Herschel said.

A shrill voice cried out as if awakened from a dream, as if it couldn't wait:

"Ahh

"yes, that's really worth celebrating, and I'll ask the palace alchemist I know to create a wand for Leah, right?" Herschel said.

"Oh, that's embarrassing."

"It's okay, you don't have to be polite ......"

"Then you're welcome! Hey, Leah, thank you cousin! The palace alchemist will spend several gold coins at a time! ”

“…… Thank you, cousin. The boy said weakly.

"You're welcome, you have to study hard when you get to school, and in the future, our family will have another amazing magician." Herschel said kindly.

Just as the atmosphere gradually became more and more cheerful, Aisha, that is, Lilian's aunt, came to say:

"However, I have heard that the descendants of two people with the same vocation will also inherit their vocation, aren't you both businessmen in vocation?"

The scene fell silent all of a sudden.

Xu Shuo suddenly felt that there were a few more people around him, he turned his head and found that the rest of the housekeepers and even the cooks had all crowded to the door at some point.

I feel like rumors about Cousin Herschel's family will soon spread throughout the manor.

"That's a rumor, the vocation was given to us by the gods, who can say for sure what it will be?" Herschel reacted and hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, what is Petty's vocation?" I forgot. ”

"Me? I'm a dancer. The girl's voice could tell that she was very satisfied with her vocation.

"Really? Is that Petty going to be a dancer? Or help the family take care of the housework? Herschel asked.

"She's so small, how can she understand business matters?" Aisha smiled: "We plan to send her to the palace to be a dancer, as for the family's business, when she grows up and has more social experience, she can't dance, and then let her inherit it." ”

"Indeed!" Herschel seemed to have finally waited for what he wanted, and said approvingly: "Young people have shallow social experience, and it is still too difficult to do big business." Therefore, I plan to take care of the property on my family's side for the time being. Lilian, what do you think? I just want to discuss this matter with you, and leave all the family business to my uncle for the time being, how about it? It's still too difficult for you to resist such a heavy responsibility at your age, right? ”

"Huh? I ......" Liliam was out of the conversation, but she didn't expect to be suddenly targeted, a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Aisha said with a questioning tone: "Second brother, our family can have today, it can be said that it all depends on the eldest brother, don't you want to rob the eldest brother of the merits left behind, right?" ”

"How could I have that kind of thought?!" Herschel was like a tail being stepped on, "I'm thinking about the family, you know, I usually assist the eldest brother in running the family, I am the most familiar with the family business, the eldest brother is suddenly gone, and many businesses have been affected, and I took over in order to re-stabilize the family industry as soon as possible!" ”

"Really?" Aisha didn't seem to believe it.

"Of course, and there are some flaws in my eldest brother's usual business strategy, and I can see it clearly. For example, the timber business with the royal capital, I think it's a little too cold in terms of profit distribution, sister, you are responsible for transportation and processing, and you should contribute more, so you should be allocated more profits, if I take care of the family, I think you should add three more points to your sister on the original basis. Herschel said.

"Hmm...... It seems that second brother, you are indeed very familiar with the family business, and even know this. Aisha changed her tone, "Since that's the case, it's really more reassuring to hand over the family business to you." Lilian, listen to your aunt, leave the family affairs to your uncle, you don't have to worry about these adults, just enjoy your youth freely. ”

(Bribe!) Or TM bribes in person! ）

This is a dirtier method than PY trading, which made Xu Shuozhi frown.

"But, but," Lilien said weakly, "it's not easy to cut down the stone tree, our labor costs and tool costs are very high, if we reduce the family's income by three points in the transaction with the royal capital, then the family's monthly income in the timber business will be reduced from thirty gold coins to ...... Reduced to twelve gold coins, this is ...... no matter how I am."

The scene was silent for a while.

Well done Lilian, nice counterattack, let them see who's the pro! Xu Shuo secretly cheered for Lilian in his heart.

"Ahem, how can you say that, Lilian, we are a family, who earns a little more is not the same? If our family needs it in the future, Aunt Aisha will definitely come to help us. Right, Aisha? Herschel refused to give up.

"Yes, Lilian, I will also find a way to increase the price of the Tapping Stone Tree in the market to make more money for our Wink family." Aisha said.

At this time, Herschel's cousin Aine also came to intervene.

"That's right, Lilian, you are now a good age to get married and have children, and Young Master Brown is such a talent, your children must be either handsome guys or beautiful women. When the time comes, you won't want to focus on your career. Listen to me, rest assured that the family will be taken care of by your uncle, and when you grow up, it will not be too late to take over the family again. ”
