Not a Witch

Meat is still needed, and the protein intake of ordinary people is still too low today.

"For other commodities, there are more wooden products, which seem to be local specialties."

"Ah."

Most of the land in Shiraki County is plain, except for the grain, that is, a local birch tree is very famous, and people use this dense tree to make various utensils.

"Tomorrow we will also rent a booth here and sell some things." After looking around, Rezia ordered.

"Yes, miss." The people behind agreed, looking at her eyes with a bit of eagerness.

Rezia shook her head slightly, and asked a few people to contact the administrator of the bazaar to make arrangements in advance, and then left the bazaar with the remaining 2 people.

Walking on the streets of Eft City, at this moment there are only Mira and a maid behind Rezia, and they continue to look at the things on both sides of the street.

"The houses here are very neat, and they seem to be built with the same material."

Rezia looked at the grayish-white bricks on the wall. Although there were light and dark color differences between the blocks, they were roughly the same, and the roofs were all black tiles.Occasionally, a moss can be found in the gaps between the bricks, and it feels like these houses should have been built for many years.

"Yes, miss, the houses here are all made of bricks fired from a clay pit in the east, so the colors are similar."

"Bricks from the same place are used, and everyone has the same idea?" Rezia thought, doesn't anyone want to be different, such a unity is rare.

"This..." The maid was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while before saying.

"Because there is only one family producing bricks within a few tens of miles, and that was the family business of the previous city lord."

Well, it's still a monopoly.Recalling that I used to play construction games, I always liked the neat and tidy houses, but I didn’t expect it to be realized in this way in reality.

After wandering around the city, Rezia found a well-decorated jewelry store and walked in.

"Hi, may I ask what the lady needs?" The clerk greeted Leizia warmly as soon as she saw Leicia coming in.

Since the downfall of the West Wind nobles, it has become more and more difficult to sell luxury goods. Sometimes they don’t see a single customer for a few days, and many shops are closed, but this is the only one that is still persisting.

"I'll just take a look."

"Okay, please."

Turning around a bit, Rezia nodded. The taste of this store is not bad, and the style is more in line with her aesthetics, but she didn't come to buy jewelry today.

"Hello, is your boss there?" She asked proactively.

"you are...."

The clerk hesitated, but Mira shook her long ears, took out the business certificate she carried with her, and showed it to the clerk.

"Our eldest lady is the legitimate daughter of the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce, and now I want to talk about a business."

After carefully checking that the certificate was issued by the current Clancia official, the clerk nodded, and the others waited.

"Please wait a moment, I will find someone to inform the boss."

Rezia sat at a small round table in the store, waiting quietly, watching the scattered pedestrians on the street, thinking about what she had seen and heard along the way.

Although making money from the caravan was not the main purpose of this trip, she still wanted to try out what it was like to do business in Clancia now, whether it was difficult or hugely profitable.

After a long time, a fat middle-aged man walked into the shop led by the shop assistant.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the blond lady in a red dress sitting in a corner drinking tea, professionally swept over her clothes and attire, and then walked in with a smile on her face.

"Hello, I am the owner of this shop, may I ask who is this lady?"

"My name is Recia, and I'm the daughter of the owner of the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce." Lorraine Hill gave a brief introduction, and then looked at the boss for a while.

He is wearing a gorgeous brown coat and has an emerald wrench in his hand. He looks like a seasoned businessman, but Rezia has seen a lot of people like this. When I was in Carites, the bosses of many small chambers of commerce That's how it is dressed.

"Hello, hello, I have long admired your name."

Although he had never heard of this chamber of commerce, the boss still said it politely. Anyway, bragging is not illegal, and everyone loves to hear it.Besides, it is not easy for all the chambers of commerce that can obtain the official certificate of Clancia now. You must know that when the country was established, Clancia cleaned up all the chambers of commerce that had colluded with the nobles in the past, and many old faces he was familiar with all gone.

Fortunately, his business is not big, and it is also a luxury item. He has little contact with ordinary people and has not harmed the people's livelihood, so he escaped the catastrophe. It's just that it is much more difficult to do business now.However, as a seasoned businessman, he still did not give up. Based on his observation of the new country of Clancia, in this situation that is getting better day by day, sooner or later everyone will become rich, and it is time to get married and fall in love. Jewelry is still a must. Indispensable.

At that time, there was only this jewelry store in the city, and it was difficult to pay for it.

"What kind of business does this lady want to talk about?"

He sat down at the small table, and the maid beside him also brought him hot tea.

Chapter 35 Candy Sweepstakes

"That is to say, Miss Leizia wants to borrow my shop to help sell some candy?" The boss asked in confirmation.

"Yes." The young lady with blonde hair and red dress nodded.

She won't stay here for too long, so for convenience, some of the candy will be put on consignment in the store.

"But what's the benefit of this for me? Putting candy in it feels against our style, and it will also backlog the shelves where jewelry was originally placed." Although there is no business at present, the boss still doesn't want to let go easily.

"This... Mira, do you have any more?" Rezia thought for a while, and asked Mira to take out a few beautifully wrapped candies from the small package at her waist. It was made with the help of the Rabbit Ear Clan of Tisilan.

Opening the engraved candy paper, a light golden translucent candy appeared on the table. The boss picked it up and sniffed it, feeling a burst of fresh sweetness.

This is the best candy, there are no impurities in it. After checking it, he put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

A burst of sweetness came from the tip of the tongue, and that special feeling was unstoppable, making him close his eyes slightly and experience it carefully.

"The candies of the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce are indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid these candies have added tiny supernatural ingredients to have such an amazing effect." As a businessman, he still has some knowledge.

Rezia nodded, then continued to look at the boss without saying anything.

Looking at the young lady who didn't answer, the boss knew that he had met a business veteran, so he put away his thoughts of pressing the price again, and took the initiative to let go.

"In this case, we seem to have room for cooperation."

So later we started talking about the price of the venue, and some of the commissions.

After signing the agreement, Rezia also bid farewell for the time being. After tomorrow, someone else will send a batch of candies. For this parade, she has prepared many kinds of candies.

"Then, happy cooperation, Miss Recia." Then the boss watched several people leave.

After he walked away, the store manager came over and asked.

"Why did the boss suddenly agree? Didn't you say that you want to maintain the taste and style of the store?"

"You don't understand here. You just do it well with your heart. Don't play tricks and cause any unpleasantness with the other party. Do you understand?"

"Understood, boss." The store manager was still puzzled, but he also knew after getting along with him for many years that the boss would not continue to explain, so he shook his head and turned back, starting to think about how to make room.

After seeing that the store manager was busy, the boss sat down at the table, drank the tea slowly, and thought about everything just now.

Yes, that's right, the maid who poured tea for herself was Fenni, the genius niece of the former city lord of Eft.Didn't she go to the Royal Academy in Wangdu a few years ago?

I didn't expect to survive the chaos. I'm afraid that my current strength is a Sequence 4. Besides, after being a sinner, I can come out and do activities at will. It's not easy for this young lady to hire such a maid. what.

Making money is a trivial matter. If you can get in touch with such a person, you are really lucky.You must know that many businessmen today are very troubled by Clancia's law enforcement department.They didn't dare to bribe casually like Xifeng before.

Under the current strict regulations, it is too difficult to take advantage of loopholes like before. Even if he abides by the law, he still has to deal with various inspections and audits. It's clear.

Even if I don't do any bad things, sometimes I still lack some sense of security. Without him, the scene of my former colleagues falling down is too frightening.

He still remembers that night, the law enforcement team knocked on the door of every house according to the list, and then detained and seized them one by one. They found out all kinds of open and dark accounts, and then interrogated the sources and whereabouts of their funds one by one.

Among them, the female judge with glasses looked at herself and these businessmen as cold and indifferent as sheep to be slaughtered.Fortunately, my small family business can't get into those big businesses, and I have always been relatively peaceful, so I walked out of that yard.And those colleagues who were not clean were dragged outside the city and beheaded by Uniform. The nightmare-like scene made him unable to sleep for a long time.Since then, the businessmen in Baimu County have settled down, and each of them has become a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations better than ordinary people.

----------

The next day, the market in the city of Eft.

Today's market has a different stall. The beautifully decorated ribbons and bells are fluttering in the wind, making a slight bell sound. The three stalls are combined into one. There is one person playing bagpipes and the other shaking a hand bell behind. One person beat the snare drum, and the music came out.

A staff member in front of the booth was wearing a white coat and holding a big brass bell, attracting everyone's attention.

"We are the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce. We came here specially to hold a lottery today. The process is clearly visible, and there is no deception. Even if you don't win, there will be candy as a gift."

Then he moved away, revealing a crystal instrument like a Ferris wheel behind him, with balls of different colors in it.

A person shakes the instrument, and the ball rolls along with it, and there is a small opening on the side of the instrument, and as the hatch opens, the ball can roll out.

According to the staff's explanation, it is probably based on the color and mark on the rolling ball to see if you get a general.

The rewards range from high to low. The top one is the extraordinary fruit produced in the Tisilan Mountains, which can improve physical fitness, and there are other things in turn below. These are all packed with exquisite ribbons and cartons, which makes people feel very fine.

Special prize: [Green Orange Fruit] (rare silver level), worth about 12 extraordinary gold coins.

First Prize: [Seven-Color Candy Bowl] (7 of which are excellent silver-level candies), worth about 6 extraordinary gold coins.

Second Prize: [Red Guava] (Rare Bronze Grade), worth about 2 Extraordinary Gold Coins

Third Prize: [Pearl Candy Bowl] (5 of which are excellent bronze grades), worth about 50 silver coins.

...

Consolation prize: 【Lagardes Milk Candy】

Although the highest reward has not reached the gold level, all processes in this transparent instrument are clearly visible, the probability is high and it cannot be faked, so after the demonstration by the staff, some guests are a little eager to try it, even if it is the third prize, it is still a big profit. And it's not expensive to draw once, only 10 copper coins.

Soon, some people gathered around, looked at the instrument in the center, and lined up one by one to draw the lottery.

There was a lot of people's voices for a while, and as some people won the lottery and returned with the prizes, the atmosphere was ignited immediately, and the crowd became more and more crowded.

And in the open space beside the market, under a light red parasol, a girl with rabbit ears asked the eldest lady next to her.

"Didn't the group of people yesterday say that after calculating the probability of winning, there is still risk in earning very little?"

"That's true, but our purpose is not here, but to take the opportunity to expand our reputation and open up the sales of subsequent candies, and these people who taste the delicious candy will also have a high probability of becoming our future customers."

Although it's just a side business of travel, Lorraine Hill doesn't mind letting his subordinates practice a lot. Many of them will be both helpers and opponents of domestic businessmen in the future.

Only by experiencing it for yourself will you know the way, right?

Chapter 36 Under the Beacon City

Rezia's caravan stayed in Eft City for three days. First, it used a lottery to advertise, and then used consolation prizes to promote its own candies.

There is no need to create demand. The residents of Baimu County have rarely eaten such a mellow and sweet candy. The first time they tried it now, they naturally left a deep impression.

For many organisms, sugars can induce feelings of happiness and pleasure in the nervous system, which is a product of biological evolution.Even the modern society in Lorraine Hill's memory is still the same. Under the competition of various entertainment activities and delicacies, sweetened milk tea, cola, scented tea and other beverages still have a strong appeal.

In today's world where entertainment is scarce, the happiness brought by sugar is rare. Of course, the price is not cheap. The raw materials and processes of sugar production have always been expensive.

There are not many natural sources of sweetness. Before the variety was improved, many fruits were not sweet, and it was not easy to extract sugar.The most common sweetness is honey, but the yield is also very low.

In the distant past, the discovery of the New World was largely for the sugar cane industry, producing the white gold, sugar.
