Chapter 358: Kitchen Knife
Selena looked a little embarrassed, ran to the arm of Eunice's chair and squeezed down, put her arm around Eunice's and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to, it's really that there are still a lot of things to deal with in the restaurant, I'm afraid that something will go wrong when I'm not there, and the person on that side won't be able to take charge alone." ”
Eunice frowned: "Why is there any problem with the restaurant? Isn't business always good?"
Eunice is a little puzzled, how can anyone still have trouble with the restaurant? Now the restaurant is actually only open one building, and there is an original small shop, although the restaurant opened before the opening of the poaching people offended a few restaurants, but also gave enough compensation, although the people who poached are important, but they are not the most core people, could it be that they did not dare to look for trouble at that time but now come to find trouble?
This restaurant or restaurant opened after the opening of the academy's restaurant, and the chefs also came back from the academy, and the craftsmanship is not worse than that of the academy, but because there is no Jiayi, the dishes will be less, and the menu update will lag behind the academy.
But in this way, the quality of the dishes is more stable, after all, they have been inspected by the academy.
Although it has only been a few months, this restaurant has almost swept the imperial capital, from the royal family and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, everyone has heard of the name of the restaurant - this is just a restaurant, a simple restaurant, and does not provide any paid escort services.
Maybe the rest of the peers are jealous?
Selena shook Yunis's arm, and the plump breasts of the mother and daughter swayed for a while: "It's not really that people are looking for trouble, didn't you say it some time ago, there are many unknown people who come to buy kitchen knives and iron pots, but these people don't look like they are cooking, and then we suspended the supply of kitchen knives, and these people are fewer." ”
Eunice grabbed Selena's hand, and it was a little tired to shake it like this: "What, did they come over to harass again?"
"These people haven't been there at all, people have always come to ask if there are kitchen knives for sale, it's just a lot less, but now there are more of them, even if we have stopped selling kitchen knives now. ”
Eunice frowned and touched the armrest of the chair: "What's the matter, have you checked the identities of these people?"
Selena looked constipated, and said in disbelief: "I actually asked Tina to check, you can't believe it, these people are all mercenaries and adventurers." ”
Adventurers and mercenaries are actually similar, and the business of the two overlaps a lot, but most of the time, mercenaries are more organized, and adventurers are only small team activities at most, and most adventurers generally do not take on confrontational business, at most they are guards.
Tina is one of the captains of the guard of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, and her strength is not bad, and she caught a few adventurers who came to ask and asked, why did these people come to buy kitchen knives and iron pots, and buying kitchen knives and iron pots is not something to be taboo.
It's not because the adventurer suddenly fell in love with cooking, although that's what Tina said when she first asked, but after a friendly exchange, they finally told the truth, they were using these kitchen knives and iron pots as weapons and shields.
Although the quality of the iron ore of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce is not very good, the iron smelted by the blast furnace is very good, and the kitchen knives and iron pots are forged by using hydraulic forging hammers, which are already comparable to the so-called weapons made of 100 steels sold in ordinary weapon shops.
The so-called hundred refining and forging are mostly for hammering out the impurities in the iron, and this step, the iron of the Chamber of Commerce is done in the blast furnace.
In terms of price, these kitchen utensils are far worse than the swords in the weapons shop, and they can be said to be truly inexpensive.
Ever since one of the adventurer's cooking enthusiasts used the Valoka Chamber of Commerce's kitchen knife to cut off an iron sword, their shop's kitchen knives and iron pots are now well-known among adventurers.
It's an excellent weapon to buy it back and rebuild it or forge it, and the iron pot is surprisingly easy to use when used to change into a shield - the arc at the bottom of the iron pot can be well deflected and cut through.
After a small spread of the word, a lot of Angzang men came to buy kitchen knives and iron pots, just to go back to make weapons and shields, but they came too diligently and bought too much, which made Eunice feel that something was wrong and stopped supplying.
In fact, although the kitchen knife iron pot sold by the restaurant is good, it is not too exaggerated, it is far worse than the legendary enchanted sword, and it is not as good as some weapons and equipment made of special metals.
But these weapons are not something that these low-level adventurers or mercenaries can afford, in Memphelbo, no one can say how many adventurers and mercenaries, conservative estimates are thousands, and some people even think that they can be tens of thousands. But among so many adventurers, most of them are at the bottom, but they are barely making ends meet, and buying swords, shields, and armor is a big expense.
The adventurer mercenaries in the entire imperial capital add up, and the enchanted weapons or equivalent people who are qualified and capable of using them add up to two hands and feet.
So when someone found out that the kitchen knives sold in the restaurant in Valoka were so good, so many people came to buy them, it was the result of their conscious secrecy.
Eunice frowned slightly, not liking this kind of accident: "Even if they don't have malicious intentions, they can't let it go like this, our shop is a restaurant after all, not a weapons shop, and it's not appropriate to do this business, especially if they fight, it will also affect the business of our store." ”
It didn't matter if I didn't know before, but now that I know, it's better not to test on this edge, they are not officially involved in the steel market now, let alone the sale of weapons and equipment. The main thing is that the Valoka Chamber of Commerce is doing good business now, and there is no need to play this kind of side-kick at all.
Selena said helplessly: "However, even if we have stopped selling kitchen knives and iron pots now, people still come to inquire every day, and the number of people has been increasing more and more these days, so we can't just bombard them away, if it makes trouble, it will affect the business and reputation of the restaurant." ”
Selena is now mainly responsible for the business of enchanted jewelry and catering, because the Valoka Chamber of Commerce is very busy now, and it is also to train her, so Eunice handed over the business of enchanted jewelry to her, which was originally the main business of the Valorka Chamber of Commerce, but now it has become more marginalized.
The restaurant and greenhouse vegetable business was brought back by Selena to Jiayi, although it has not been long in the start, but the profit margin is very large, and there is a lack of competitors, Selena has spent a lot of energy on this area, and she also hopes to prove herself through this, and does not want the store to be affected.
Eunice didn't want the restaurant's business to be affected too much, she thought for a while, and said, "You take Master Orlando's invitation card and invite President Fogg of the Mage Association to come to our restaurant for a meal, just say that Master Orlando's student Jia Yi has cultivated a lot of vegetables, and now they are ready to promote them in the imperial capital, please ask President Fogg to come and taste them." ”
"Will President Fogg be willing to come over?" Selena was a little worried, the Mage Guild had never made any moves, but it was indeed the top force in the entire imperial capital, after all, it represented the Supreme Council, and she was a little worried about whether she could be moved.
Eunice said: "It's not a big problem to invite over, President Fogg and Master Orlando are good friends, in the name of Master Orlando, President Fogg may not come himself, but at least he will send a student over, as long as someone comes, I don't believe that there is someone who is not afraid of death who dares to come to trouble after the intervention of the Mage Association." ”
In fact, Orlando's name is no smaller than Fogg's, but Orlando is a teacher in the academy, and there are not many people in the imperial capital who are familiar with him, most of them are people with larger backgrounds, and these people don't dare to think anything about the Valorca Chamber of Commerce.
On the contrary, some people with little background, especially for these adventurers, have no idea who Orlando is, only to hear some news about the island, and know that such a big restaurant must have a background, but they don't know what it is.
In this case, it is better to move out of Fogg's name.
Fogg was the president of the Memphel Bo Mage Guild based in the imperial capital, and even if someone didn't know him personally, they only needed to hear this name to know that it was time to retreat.
On the contrary, Orlando is just a teacher from the academy, isn't this a deterrent at all, the most important thing is that Orlando is not in the imperial capital, if he is allowed to run for such a trivial matter, there will be no need for this chamber of commerce to exist.
