"Cooking?"

Jennifer wondered, "I can make lemon cake, black pudding, and know a little bit about winemaking...... Is this question important? ”

"As long as you have a heart for cooking that doesn't resist." Colin smiled, "I may be able to introduce you to a high-level magician and let her take you as an apprentice, can it solve your problem?" ”

"Of course." Jennifer blurted out, and then asked a little uncertainly, "Excuse me, which one is it?" ”

High-level magicians are already considered top talents, and there are almost a few who are not famous, and the likes of Donald Gal of Hall School of Magic are already considered to be relatively poor.

"I don't know her full name, but we've always called her Mrs. Müller."

Jennifer paused for a moment, she thought she could call most of the high-level mages of Thunder City, but she didn't know anything about the name.

Colin immediately explained, "She's the chef of the teacher mage Tari. ”

The crowd was silent.

Anne muttered, "What a waste......"

Jennifer was stunned for a long time before realizing that this was not a joke, and said with a hesitant face: "Colin, of course I can't ask for it, but will this cause you trouble?" ”

"Don't worry."

Colin understood what she meant, and smiled: "I have a very good relationship with Mrs. Muller, and I will help you ask when I go back." ”

"Thank you then."

"Cheers to Jennifer's future." Roy's well-timed proposal.

"We're drinking coffee." Jennifer said.

"All the same, it's done."

The four of them drank it all in a heroic manner.

Colin put down his coffee cup, turned his head and asked, "Annie, is your charcoal business doing well lately?" ”

"Well, the New Year is the best, everyone will try their best to make up a little money, there has always been a saying in the old city that those who die on New Year's Day, the souls of the dead will be devoured by demons."

"Do you believe that?"

"Of course I know it's fake, demons belong to a special species of demonic beasts, they use pollution to breed, and they can be bound by contracts, which is all taught in the academy...... But no one else cares, and how many people know magic in the Old Town. ”

Anne sighed: "Speaking of which, I will have to go back early in a while, and evening is the best time for business." ”

Colin thought for a moment and said, "Are there a lot of orphans in the old city?" ”

"Well, especially after the New Year, everyone's last bit of money is used up, parents leave their clothes for their children, and there are many cases where they freeze to death." Anne said.

After hearing this, Colin said, "My side...... There is a cooperation with a chamber of commerce to recruit a group of orphans or homeless people of the right age. ”

"What are you going to do?" Anne wondered.

"To put it simply, it is to teach them some crafts and work for the Chamber of Commerce in the future." Colin can only pretend that the Chamber of Commerce needs it, otherwise he can't explain that he is a beginner magician, why do he need so many orphans?

"And such a good thing?" Anne was stunned.

"Of course."

"If it's you, I'm convinced." Anne said.

"Is anyone else doing the same?" Colin was curious.

"Hmm." "In the past, there were often aristocrats who came to the Old Town to adopt orphans, but they only needed girls and good-looking boys. ”

Although Anne knew that this was definitely not a good thing, she didn't know the details after all, and Jennifer was the daughter of a decent baron, and she had also heard of the habits of some powerful people, and her face was very bad for a while.

"On my side, there is no distinction between men and women and looks, and boys are better."

"Do you need me to help you find someone like that?"

"If it's convenient."

"I know some, but how many people do you need?"

"It's best to be between 12 and 18 years old, and look for 500 people first."

"So much?" Anne was taken aback.

"Aren't there so many?"

"Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of poor people in the old city, and more than these people die every day, but I can't find them alone." Anne was embarrassed.

Colin also felt that he had taken it for granted, there must be a lot of people in the old city who met his conditions, but it was not easy to find them one by one and send them to the designated place. He can't put up notices, it's too attention-grabbing, and if tens of thousands of people come to Hulala, it will be a lot of fun.

According to the teacher, except for the 2,000 fortress defenders, who are considered elite, Xia Ya is basically paralyzed in other aspects, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

I was tantamount to taking over a mess in the past.

He's a little bit sure of the rest, but there's no one, especially the right talent, so what? You can't build a house, you have to do it yourself.

Although Xia Ya also has a certain number of local population, but if you think about it, you know that even a big capital city like Thunder City is starving everywhere, what kind of talent can there be in that kind of place?

What's more, Colin doesn't just want craftsmen.

While there is still a year to go, it may be the best way to train some people who need to be used.

I don't know if His Majesty can give me some support.

At least these people shouldn't be reimbursed for their expenses.

He gathered his thoughts, thinking of how to solve the problem in front of him.

"Colin." Jennifer suddenly said, "If you don't worry, maybe I can help you." ”

"That place in the Old Town, are you sure you can fit in?" Colin asked.

"I'm not used to it, but I've already adapted to it, and I helped Anne see the ice water shop for two days." Jennifer said.

Anne nodded in agreement.

Jennifer added: "And I listened to what you just said, this matter is actually not difficult. ”

"Oh?"

"Just find a few people first and ask them to help find other people, and the cost of running errands in the old city is only a few copper plants a day." Jennifer said.

"Jennifer." Colin smiled: "If you can't find anything else to do for the time being, maybe I can leave this matter to you, including the management of these people in the future." ”

Jennifer thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, but where do you need to send them?" ”

"I have a manor outside the city, I should be able to stay a lot of people, and I'll ask someone to take you to see it tomorrow."

Colin was a little unconfident when he said this, he hadn't seen it once since he accepted the two properties given by Phineya, but since it was called a manor, it would not be very small, and it shouldn't be a problem to stay a few hundred people temporarily.

"Okay." Jennifer nodded.

"Don't worry Jennifer, I'll pay your salary, by the way, how much does the etiquette teacher you mentioned before called Akaris, how much does he earn each month?"

"This ...... I also don't know very well, that kind of job, the income is not stable. ”

"5 gold lang a month, do you think it's okay?"

Colin thought that the magic consultant of the Sheriff's Department he worked for was only 2 gold lang a month, which should be not low, of course, some of it belonged to the friendship price, after all, according to Anne, since the family cut off, Jennifer has had no source of income for a long time.

"Too much ......"

"This is important to me, so please bother." Colin said seriously.

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Colin." ”
