"Big brother."

Towards evening, Daniel pushed open the door and saw Ma Wei and Yunia sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Coming back? How's it going? ”

"The students of Yinton College have been dispersed home, and have gathered in the city of Westminster, where I have just been separated from a few of my classmates, and as for London..."

Daniel pondered, "On the way back, I didn't see supernatural creatures attacking ordinary residents, only witchers constantly searching and patrolling. ”

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate said that the escaped prisoners should take revenge on the church and the kingdom, and attacking ordinary civilians is obviously not the best way to retaliate, and most of the prisoners' targets are nobles and officials who have gaps with them.

According to the Church's idea, as long as the nobles and officials are protected, the prisoners' revenge can be destroyed, and if the prisoners cannot find the nobles and turn to attack ordinary civilians, their traces will be exposed in an instant.

In the Kingdom of Windsor, the nobility still has privileges, especially in times of crisis, only the upper class is protected, and the lower class has become the object of outcast.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate wants to gather all the targets of the prisoners' revenge, so as to attract the prisoners to come, and then catch them all.

In that case, the concentrated nobles will become bait.

The city of Westminster will also become a battlefield of chaos.

"How are you doing at school these days?"

Ma Wei looked at Daniel, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, and asked, "Did any classmates bully you?" ”

"Bullying me?" Daniel scoffed, "They're all about to give me up now!" Sleeping toast is now the most popular item at Yinton School! All the goods in my hands were sold out in a few days! You see..."

Daniel opened the suitcase he had brought back from school, and it was filled with a dense collection of gold pound coins, universal tickets, and a rough count, at least a few hundred gold pounds.

"One pound of lethargic toast costs 10 gold pounds, and some students can't afford that much money at once, so I divide the one-pound toast into 10 portions and charge only one gold pound each, and since then, business has gotten better! In less than a week since I went to school, I have covered the entire fourth grade with Sleeping Toast, and many people come to my dorm every day to buy it, and I have been sleep-deprived for the past few days! Daniel said eloquently.

】

The wave of Sleeping Toast caused by Yinton College was not unexpected by Ma Wei, and he fused the hallucinogenic potion Asanti with Toast in order to open the upper-class market as quickly as possible, and in fact, the best-selling item in the Manstein Potions Grocery Store was Potion Toast.

In contrast, common potions such as Itchy Chocolate and Hercules' Sticks are not well known, and not many people buy them.

"You're doing a good job." Ma Wei bowed his head and encouraged: "When this turmoil passes, you can try to expand your business scope, find a few classmates who can be trusted, and whose father is a member of the second prince's camp, let them become second-level dealers, reduce your pressure, stabilize the fourth-grade market as quickly as possible, and then consider the affairs of other grades." ”

"In this way, you will soon be able to establish a high enough prestige in the hearts of your classmates, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a school bully, if you can really go this far, I am afraid that you can collect a lot of gossip."

Children in the rebellious period have different attitudes towards the opinions of teachers and parents, and if Daniel has enough status in the minds of his classmates, he can use interests to envelop them, at that time, even if his parents reprimand, it is difficult to make them turn back.

However, Ma Wei didn't plan to do anything with these students, he just wanted to get some ideas from the parents of these students through Daniel, and the parents would always talk about some topics during the family dinner, and the children who came home on weekends would hear some of them more or less.

Even a little, a few words, is enough.

"Although the sleeping toast is very popular, there are still many nobles who have not tasted it, and it is just the opportunity of many nobles to gather together to sell the sleeping toast to them for free, I will be responsible for the second prince's side, and the eldest prince's side..."

Ma Wei turned his head to look at the source, and the source said with understanding: "When I went to look for Helena, I brought some sleeping toast with me, but I don't know if the eldest prince will stop me." ”

"The eldest prince won't stop you." Ma Wei said: "Sleeping toast has a lot of popularity, I heard that even King Rhodes IV is eating, many nobles in the eldest prince's camp have also tasted sleeping toast, and the rest of those who have not tasted it also have the willingness to taste, this is called the general trend, the general trend, the eldest prince alone, can not be stopped." ”

Sleeping toast is currently a small snack after tea for the upper class, after dinner, the male aristocracy will take off the evening dress, change into a looser ordinary suit, enter the cigar room to smoke and drink, in this process, of course, there will be some ways to have fun, in the past, everyone would get together to inject a 3% concentration of cocaine solution, now....

Turned into eating lethargic toast.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the second prince invited Ma Wei and his family to have dinner together, and Ma Wei readily agreed, only to find that there were no other nobles in the restaurant, only a few of them.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that there would be a banquet in the evening?"

"Oh, yes." The second prince looked at the clock on the wall and said, "I have sent them an invitation, and the appointed time is half past eight in the evening, so let's have dinner first, and when we have dinner, it will be almost time." ”

If the actual situation supports, the second prince also wants to hold a large banquet and invite guests to his home early, but the problem is that the church suddenly issued an order for everyone to gather in the city of Westminster this morning, and in a hurry, the second prince did not have time to prepare a large number of high-quality ingredients, and it was too rude to entertain the nobles with low-grade ingredients.

After weighing it, the second prince decided not to prepare too much meat at the banquet, and instead focused on desserts, holding a dessert banquet, which required much simpler ingredients than serious meat dishes.

Although he didn't have time to prepare a large number of high-quality ingredients, the second prince still served two months' worth of lamb, just like he has always called himself a gourmet, and never wronged himself in eating.

While enjoying dinner, the butler suddenly walked into the dining room and whispered a few words in the second prince's ear, after listening, the second prince nodded slightly, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to the source: "Mr. Felix, Charles invited you to the banquet he held, and emphasized that Miss Helena has passed, you see....."

The source was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, glanced at Ma Wei, and in Ma Wei's eyes, he got up and said, "Your Highness, I have an appointment with Miss Helena in advance, so..."

The second prince smiled and raised his hand, and said very generously, "Please, say hello to Miss Helena and Charles for me." ”

"By all means."

The source hurriedly left the restaurant with the butler, and as soon as he walked on the front foot, the second prince on the back foot said: "Nicholas, your younger brother is not very similar to your personality.... You don't even look down on Freya, but Felix is in love with a dancer..."

Ma Wei smiled and said: "Your Highness, I don't look down on Freya, it's just that her identity is too noble, and I can't climb high, and Felix stayed in the village a few years ago and didn't see the world. ”

"No wonder...."The second prince nodded as if he didn't understand: "If that's the case, I can understand, and that's what I'm saying, whoever has experienced the great world, who will be fascinated by a dancing girl?" Nicholas, please don't mind, I'm not targeting Felix. ”

Of course, these words were not aimed at the communication, even if the second prince was dissatisfied with the communication's behavior of getting close to Helena and wanted to complain, he would never say it in front of Ma Wei's eyes, and the meaning of his words was to mock the eldest prince Charles, saying that he was a clown who could not be on the stage and lost the face of the royal family.

In private, presumably the second prince mocked Charles a lot, and Charles probably mocked the second prince a lot, but the fact that the second prince could say this to Ma Wei is enough to prove that Ma Wei has a high status in his mind, at least the kind of character that can be trusted.

The relationship is heating up rapidly, and it is estimated that it is related to the potion recipe during the day.

After getting closer, the second prince spoke more bluntly: "Nicholas, Miss Helena is beautiful, but she is a thorny rose, you must remind Felix not to hold it too hard, otherwise she will be stabbed." ”

"I've spoken to him many times, Your Highness." Ma Wei cut off a piece of tender lamb, dipped it in some sauce and put it in his mouth, swallowed it and said: "Felix also knows the severity, and he understands the true thoughts of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, and my advice to him is to calculate the plan..."

The second prince suddenly realized, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he picked up the red wine glass and said, "Then I will rest assured, looking forward to the day when Charles will lift the stone and hit himself in the foot." ”

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the guests began to arrive at the villa one after another, the second prince and his wife greeted him at the door in person, and Ma Wei came to the banquet hall with Unia and Daniel in advance, looking at the snacks piled high on the long table covered with white tablecloths, Yunia's eyes were shining, and she only ate a little lamb meat for dinner, saying that she wanted to keep her stomach for the snacks in the back.

"Nicholas!"

The first to arrive at the villa was the jewelry merchant Smith, who was round, wearing a flannel dress with flannel, with a round belly, and even his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled: "I heard Your Highness say that you have prepared a lot of sleeping toast tonight?" ”

"yes." Ma Wei said with a smile: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't take this opportunity to promote goods, my boss will be too incompetent." ”

"Okay, good...."Smith nodded again and again, very happy: "As long as we can open up the market of the upper class, our company's stock will definitely continue to rise!" Oh, you're a guest, so I won't bother you. ”

As he spoke, the door of the banquet hall opened again, and this time, Freya, dressed in a red evening gown, walked in, and when she saw her, Smith left with a very interesting expression, as if she knew everything.

"Why is he smiling so disgustingly?"

Freya stepped forward and glanced at Smith, who was cutting the cake not far away, and couldn't help frowning: "What did you tell him?" ”

"What can I say? It's his own thoughts. ”

It's not a day or two to know each other, Ma Wei has long been familiar with the second prince, Freya, Smith and others, there is no false politeness, and the chats are all about daily topics.

"This is the factory's cargo storage list, and the other copy has been sent to the company's headquarters, and you can keep this one." Freya took out a folded piece of letter paper and said, "When the quarantine is over, remember to go to the factory to count the goods, if anyone dares to steal materials, they must be severely punished!" ”

"There is Steven in the factory, and they are watching, and there will be no problems, unless they are invaded by external forces."

"Are you afraid that the eldest prince and the third prince will use this incident to secretly disadvantage the Potions Factory?" Freya took a glass of red wine from the plate of a passing waiter, took a sip and said, "I have already told the Kore brothers that in the last few days, their gang members have been patrolling the factory day and night, as well as the policemen and witchers, and with the relationship of Archbishop Brandon, they will definitely be ....."

As she spoke, Freya asked meaningfully, "You seem to trust Steven Thomas, isn't he your new recruit?" ”

"I can tell if a person is trustworthy or not." "I paid him a high salary and promised to help him retake the fishing company, and he had no reason to betray me," Mavi said. ”

"The potions business is different from other businesses, so you better keep a little bit." Freya shook her head: "Why don't you let me go to the factory and help you take care of it." ”

"You?"

Ma Wei looked Freya up and down and laughed: "If you let this duke go to work in a dirty place like the Potions Factory, even if you don't mind, Your Majesty will make trouble for me, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Whatever he does..."

"He's His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Windsor, who can ignore him?"

"Alright." Freya sipped red wine, "I know you don't want me to go to the Potions Factory, but you still don't trust me, Nicholas. ”

"Trust is mutual, Freya." Ma Wei said quietly: "Do you trust me? ”

"Of course I trust you."

Freya didn't hesitate, she thought that after she said this, Ma Wei would follow one sentence and trust her, but she didn't think so....

"Since you trust me, go on as it is." "It's good for everybody.... What time is it? ”

"Don't you have a pocket watch?"

The women's evening dress had no inner pockets, but Freya had a clever idea, she put her hand on her breast, took out a silver pocket watch, looked at it and said, "There are still 5 minutes to go and half past eight.... What do you want? ”

"Almost...."

Ma Wei said to Daniel, who was following him, "Go and give the sleeping toast we brought to the kitchen, let them cut it into small pieces, and bring it to the banquet hall, remember not to send too much, 1 pound is enough." ”

"Okay."

"Who can eat 1 pound?" Freya was a little puzzled: "Tonight, let's talk less about twenty or thirty guests, you asked the kitchen to send 1 pound of sleeping toast, can you share it?" ”

"It's good if you can't divide it."

Ma Wei smiled:

"The more you can't get something, the more it arouses the desire in people's hearts, right?"
