Buoyed by the cake shop's incredible profits, Hurley and her mother exploded with amazing enthusiasm and desperately learned the ins and outs of making cakes.

When making cakes, the heat of the part of the cake body baked by the hearth is the most difficult to master, and if you are not careful, it will scorch the original soft cake body and affect the flavor of the cake.

However, they still relied on repeated practice production to overcome this difficulty, so that the family basically did not eat much for the past two days, and ate cakes that failed to bake every day.

During this time, the name of Carl's cake shop on Silverfish Avenue near the North Pier was also passed on by the people who had tasted the cake and pudding that morning, and which made a new dessert that "even His Majesty the Emperor would praise when he ate it."

As for how His Majesty the Emperor ate the cake now that he was sick in bed, it was selectively ignored by those of them who did not know the news of the palace.

In order to achieve the marketing effect, Xia Lin took out a whole ten-inch cherry cake for new customers to try on the first day, despite the opposition of his mother and Hurley.

The entrance to Carl's cake shop was crowded with people almost every day, and occasionally a few servants who had been sent to buy cakes because of the curiosity of their masters.

These nobles or merchants' servants dressed in bright clothes sat in the carriage early in the morning with the number plates given to them by Xia Lin and waited anxiously, for fear that they would miss the last cake and be scolded by their masters when they returned.

After all, there are only three people in the Karl Cake Shop, and they can't bake cakes all day, so in order not to affect the refining of white sugar and ensure the supply of the contract with the Greg Chamber of Commerce, they can only take out eight cakes every day.

Thanks to the spending power contributed by these aristocrats and merchants, the cakes baked by Carl's cake shop were sold out every day.

The cramped shop could not accommodate so many customers, and Carl Cake Shop did not have a box for packing, so customers who were lured by the magic of cakes and puddings brought their own wooden plates and boxes to carry back and taste, which shows how powerful the charm of cakes and puddings is.

And that's only two or three days before Carl's Cake Shop opened.

Seeing that Karl's cake shop was on the right track, Charin decided to let his mother and sister run the cake shop, and for the past few days he would find a little time every night to teach Hurley Arabic numerals and the four arithmetic so that she could keep her own accounts.

Hurley's memory is very good, she has learned simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations in the past few days, and she has quickly started bookkeeping, although it can't make Xia Lin completely reassured, but it is always a help from Xia Lin.

Xia Lin also thought of his sister-in-law Bessie, compared to Hurley, who was not very afraid to solicit customers in front of the crowd, perhaps the lively and cheerful Bessie was more suitable for the position of Kanban Niang.

However, before Xia Lin could take action, their sister-in-law Bessie and Anthony came to the store.

It turned out that Anthony, the eldest brother who seemed honest and honest, but actually had a lot of flowers, took a few cakes in the morning to please his sister-in-law and his future father-in-law.

After tasting the delicious cake, Bessie stopped the business of the blacksmith shop at home, and dragged Anthony to Karl's cake shop.

After tasting the brown sugar pudding and two other flavors of cake with her sister-in-law's privilege, she heard that Xia Lin wanted her to be a kanban girl, so she hit it off and stayed, while Anthony was driven back to help her father continue the forging.

Although Hurley has now let go a lot and is no longer so squirming in receiving customers, compared to the lively and cheerful Bessie, she is completely blown up in her ability to deal with people.

Soon the atmosphere in Carl's cake shop was controlled by Bessie, seeing that she handled each customer's request properly, and everyone still felt at home, Xia Lin couldn't help but sigh that some people's emotional intelligence is naturally high.

As for Xia Lin, the assets on his hand had swelled to twenty-five gold and seventy-three silver mars in the past three days, not counting the copper bis.

Among them, Ellen bought fifteen gold lunt income from the cake making method, and the sugar business had six gold lunt income in three days, and Xia Lin originally had one gold lunt and dozens of silver mar savings left in hand, and the rest was all the income of the cake shop in the past three days.

And this money would have been enough to buy two stout slaves to replace my father and Harper, who were tired and panting every day.

The two of them, one is their own father, and the other is a promising one-ring mage, how can they do this kind of completely unskilled work every day.

After buying two able-bodied slaves, Xia Lin was ready to let his father take care of the stall in the small sugar workshop, and it was time for himself and Harper to start magic research.

By the way, Xia Lin is also going to buy a young slave with a foundation in writing and arithmetic, which will be used to train him to become an assistant in his business.

Such a role is similar to the steward in the chamber of commerce of an aristocratic family, usually this kind of person is a nobleman or businessman who has been cultivated as a confidant since childhood with the template of an elite manservant, and if he is hired, he cannot guarantee loyalty, and Xia Lin is naturally ready to learn from them.

He talked to Harper about his plans to buy slaves, and by the way, he asked for information about it.

However, Harper did not know much about the slave business, except that there was a slave market in the Southern Docklands that the people of the imperial capital called "Fursk".

In the Sassen language, Fosk means everything, which shows the size of this slave market.

Dressed in his long-lost mage robes to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Xia Lin did not hesitate to call a carriage on the side of the street and set off for the southern district, and soon arrived at the Vorsk slave market.

The atmosphere of the slave market was quite different from that of other markets.

Outside the market, the entire market is enclosed by tall wooden fences, and on either side of the gate are heavily armed guards, who look fierce and obviously not simple.

On both sides of the road inside, you can see log cages placed at the entrance of various slave chambers, and inside are the slaves of the ragged and even directly Chiluo.

From time to time, noble carriages carved with family coats of arms and lavish merchants' carriages were parked in the open space at the entrance, and people in different costumes came down from them, and it seems that this slave market had a rule that forbade carriages from entering.

Xia Lin was wearing a mage robe, although he was not looked at differently, but no one stopped him, and as soon as he walked into the market, a man with two mustaches and a treacherous appearance greeted him:

"Master Mage, do you need to buy minions? We have slaves from all over the empire and the surrounding kingdoms, natives from the south, Sainites from the east, cultists from the north, Prius from the west, and even half-elves and sub-humans further west. ”

"So many types of slaves? Can you tell me more about it? ”

Hearing that there were still legendary half-elves and subhumans here, Xia Lin was a little surprised, and then asked.
