Chapter 171: Halfling Cook

After returning from Cisco Island, Winnie had already found the cook, but Jia was shocked when she saw her cook.

"Winnie, I gave you a lot of money, why did you find a child laborer?"

"It's not child labor, it's halfling, born foodies. Erica Baggins may look small, but she's old enough to be your grandmother. ”

"Winnie, based on your human lifespan, I'm not even 16 years old, and I'm still a young girl. The halfling, known as Erica Baggins, said dissatisfied.

"Halfling?"

Kaichi looked at Erica Baggins in surprise, it was the first time he had seen a halfling.

Halflings are not the same as dwarves, dwarves are stout and stocky, while halflings have the same proportions as humans, except that they look like they are all scaled down. The halfling is not as strong as the dwarf, but has sharp facial features and quick movements, making him a natural assassin. They are often able to disappear without a trace, and even magic can hardly stop them. Halflings are also considered to be half-immortals, with an average life expectancy of more than 300 years old, and ordinary humans at this time rarely live past 70 years old.

Halflings are best known for their love of food, eating six meals a day, sometimes seven, breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper, and sometimes even two afternoon teas. Although the halfling eats a lot, it is rare to see a fat man, and the body is very thin, which is simply outrageous.

Erica Baggins glared at Jia Yiyi, not liking him to look at himself strangely: "Why, haven't you seen a halfling?"

Jia Yi retracted his gaze and said, "It's indeed the first time I've seen a halfling, why did you come here to be a cook?"

Halflings like food doesn't mean they like to go out to work, there are also halflings who like to travel, but in addition to their hometown, they rarely stay in one place for too long, and no matter how far away they are, they will eventually return to their hometown.

"I spent all the money after eating, and I heard Winnie say that you are recruiting cooks, and I thought that you should not be paid badly as a mage, so I came here. You also know that we halflings, natural gourmets, will never lose out on hiring me. ”

The corners of Jiayi's mouth twitched, what did she eat? She actually ate all the money on her body, should she be said to be too poor or too good to eat?

However, it is indeed attractive to be able to hire a halfling chef, but Jia Yi still has a little concern: "You won't make money and run away, right? ”

"How... How could it be. Although she denied it, looking at her evasive look, it was obvious that she had the idea of flashing if she made money.

Seeing Jia looking at herself with distrust, Erica was very aggrieved: "We can sign a contract, a magic contract, and I won't leave for a year." ”

"Are you kidding? five years, if you're going to go, you need to help me train a chef out that will make me happy. ”

"Five years, that's too long, and if you're not satisfied, won't I be able to leave forever?" Erica was also dissatisfied, and thought of giving up the job.

The mage may be paid more, but the risk of default is also greater, and she feels that she has thought a little more simple at first.

Jia Yi said: "What I want is that the cook is not a halfling, will you be detained for white rice, it is said that you eat six meals a day, who can afford it." And I will have a lot of special dishes and ingredients, if you are my cook, I will give it all to you, you just need to help me train a qualified chef to come out and leave at any time. ”

Erica scoffed at Jiayi's statement that she would also cook, but Jiayi's conditions did attract her, and the two talked back and forth, setting the time at three years, if Erica can train a qualified cook within three years, she can leave at any time, and if she doesn't train, she can leave at any time after three years. At the same time, Jiayi has to eat and live, and the ingredients consumed when teaching the chef need to be provided by Jiayi.

Jia Yi is basically satisfied with this condition, the halfling is a famous gourmet, and his cooking skills are also well-known, and he can hire a halfling chef even if it is a short-term employment, he is not a loss, but he doesn't understand why the other party emphasizes eating and lodging.

Even if she eats six meals a day, she can't eat much with her little man, right?

In the evening, Kaichi cooks for himself and shows Erica his skills, lest she suspect that she is bragging.

A meal of fish-flavored shredded pork and sweet and sour pork ribs with tomato and beef brisket made Erica a little impressed, and Jia Yi was no longer the one who would only attract people with his dishes and the use of ingredients. He has already practiced fire and knife work now, not to mention that he is superb, but he can be regarded as outstanding.

Jiayi originally wanted to make tofu for her, but unfortunately there was no tofu at home, and it was too late to make it now, so she had to make do with these two dishes first, and the tofu could only be taught by Erica to make it slowly.

In fact, in addition to Erica, Winnie also recruited a coachman and gardener named Barbury, but the halfling was too attractive for Barbury to be ignored.

Within two days, Eunice was in Moshacher, along with Selena.

"You haven't contacted us much since you became a white-robed mage, don't you look down on us anymore?"

As soon as they met, Selena questioned Kaichi reproachfully.

Jia Yi hurriedly spread his hands: "It seems that I often contacted you before becoming a white-robed mage, but the academy is relatively close to Monfilbo, so it seems that there are more of them." ”

Selena immediately gave Jia a punch and hugged each other, they hadn't seen each other for a while, and it seemed that Selena had developed better.

"This is a great opportunity for you to enter the Mochacher market, which is the most competitive, but also the broadest and has more potential than the rest of the world. ”

Moshacher is not the richest, but relatively speaking, it is certainly the place with the highest average income, and the lowest income is also much higher than the rest of the place, and the purchasing power is the strongest.

In the past, most of the goods were sold to large cities in Monfilbo and several surrounding countries, although there was also an office in Moshacher, but the business volume was not large, or after the relationship with the Skoll Chamber of Commerce, the business was much better, but it can only be said that it was a preliminary foothold in Moshacher, not a big show.

If it weren't for the fact that the product was really good, he would have been kicked out of Mochacher a long time ago.

Eunice is still not very confident: "Is it only with this joint chamber of commerce?"

"Don't knock on this joint chamber of commerce, if nothing else, just say that the Skoll Chamber of Commerce and the Supreme Council endorse people dare not underestimate it. As a cooperation, you feel that several families do not attach much importance to it, this is your opportunity, not to mention mastering the United Chamber of Commerce, just use the name of the United Chamber of Commerce to find out the channels here, and when Valoca establishes the channels by himself, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Given Kaichi's usual performance, Eunice reluctantly believed it.

Selena chimed in, "I've brought someone from the Song of Iron and Fire restaurant to open a branch in Moshacher, you need to help recruit customers, I heard that you can even talk to legendary mages in Moshacher now." ”

"This is good, I have recruited a new halfling cook, and when the time comes, let her go to your side to study for a while, and also guide you by the way. ”

A Song of Iron and Fire specializes in seasoning and stir-frying, with a variety of cooking methods, while Halfling specializes in local dishes, and the combination of the two sides can complement each other's strengths. And Jiayi can finally eat side dishes such as tofu and pickles conveniently.

Eunice and they quickly got to work, and now the United Chamber of Commerce has been established, but everything is still an empty shelf, they first built an ironworks in the outskirts of Moshacher, a blast furnace supervised by Jiayi, and at the same time built a wire manufacturing workshop to make the smelted metal into wire, and some of the wire needs to be covered with rubber.

Before the construction of this whole set was completed, the first phase of Fresenden's project was almost over.
