Things about the female knight in black stockings

He pointed to a pot of shredded radish arranged in the shape of flowers on top of the soup:

"Is this really a radish? This completely overturns my understanding of radishes, okay? How can radishes be so delicious... wuwuwu, the eldest lady must be the reincarnation of the goddess of cooking, who is here to save us. For these picky eaters.”

There are many similar situations.

The entire banquet was full of people crying, laughing, and shouting, it can be said that there are all kinds of people in life.

"Girl, are you really the one who invented these dishes?"

At the main table of the banquet, the only person in Serkin Town who needed to be greeted personally by Valensa and Melina was naturally Lord Lambert.

He was not particularly interested in dishes with stronger flavors such as Mapo Tofu and Pickled Fish, but he was particularly fond of the green tea shrimp dish, which was already on his third plate.

"Of course. Could it be that Uncle Lambert you have eaten these in other places before?"

Anyway, there were no other time-travelers at the scene, so Valencia kept her expression calm and her heart not beating even though she was bragging.

"It's indeed the first time I've eaten it, so I'm curious."

As Lambert spoke, he took another large spoonful of green tea shrimp and put it into his mouth:

"I didn't expect you to have such a talent... Apparently when I was drinking with the Earl before, he complained that you were a stupid daughter who couldn't do anything but play crazy with your sister."

"I am a noble after all."

Valencia shrugged:

"This kind of little hobby in the kitchen is not a skill that can be put on the table for nobles... Naturally, I want to study it secretly without telling my father.

But Sister Melina and my mother have known for a long time that I like these. "

"That's right, Lord Lambert."

Melina answered the question at the right time and put a new plate of green tea shrimps on the table:

"The eldest lady has been going to the kitchen to make her own food since she was a child... I didn't expect her weird inventions to be so popular."

In fact, Melina was also very surprised. She knew that Valencia could cook, but she never knew that Valencia was so good at cooking.

After all, she is Valencia's personal maid. How many times has Valensa entered the kitchen? How could she not know?

However, Melina heard Valensa talk about the Dimension Hardware Store and knew that it was very magical, so she regarded Valenza's cooking skills as her gains from the Dimension Hardware Store.

It was not until 2 p.m. that the banquet was successfully concluded.

Although many townspeople are still reluctant to part with those delicacies, there is no such thing as a never-ending feast.

Valensa, who had been busy working on this banquet for two days, let out a long sigh of relief. After that, the accumulated fatigue erupted like a volcano, making her not want to do anything anymore.

Knowing that it was time for her to rest, Valencia didn't force herself. She returned to the dormitory and had a good sleep. When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the window was filled with stars.

"Miss."

She was about to get out of bed and find something to eat when she heard Melina calling:

"There is a guest who wants to see you...he is waiting downstairs."

have a guest?

For Melina to say this, the guest must have some status.

Valenza quickly transformed herself from a lazy sleeping beauty into a heroic female knight, and arrived at the VIP reception room on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild.

Oh, he is indeed a person of some status... he can be considered an acquaintance.

The manager of the Nola Chamber of Commerce's Kraal City branch.

Chapter 56 The eldest lady’s hope of escaping poverty

"Congratulations to Miss Bader for the complete success of the banquet. Congratulations..."

As soon as he saw Valencia, the gentleman in charge greeted her very warmly.

This attitude is very familiar to Valencia. Businessmen basically have this attitude when they see customers who can give them big profits.

This guy is here to discuss business with me!

Valencia figured it out immediately, so she responded with a perfect noble lady manner, while calmly looking at the gentleman in charge with her peripheral vision.

The gentleman in charge was wearing a very elegant formal suit, and he must have gone through many tidying up operations to maintain his image, but it was still difficult to conceal the aura of having just been on the run.

This kind of aura may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but Valencia is a keen female knight and can use the power of her mind to strengthen her senses. This aura of running around cannot be hidden from her at all.

Obviously, the gentleman in charge must have set off from Kraal City after noon, just like when Valencia rushed back to Serkin Town before.

In other words, coming to Serkin Town was not originally part of Mr. Host's itinerary. He made a temporary change after learning some news.

And what happened in Serkin Town at noon?

The answer is obvious.

Valencia, who had almost guessed the other party's intention, soon knew it and couldn't help but sigh.

He is truly worthy of being the person in charge of the city's largest chamber of commerce. He has a really keen sense of business.

Sure enough, after some polite greetings and mutual bragging, the man in charge came straight to the point and stated his purpose:

"We want to cooperate with you... to be precise, we want to get your authorization, Miss Bardell."

"Are those the dishes I invented for the banquet?"

Valencia smiled calmly, as expected.

"Ha ha……"

The manager naturally praised Valencia again:

"Miss Bader is indeed the embodiment of wisdom and beauty. I can't hide anything from you... You should have guessed my purpose from the beginning, right? What do you think?

We want to apply for a patent from the Food Association for the dishes you invented, and then promote them in all restaurants under the Chamber of Commerce. You will have a share of all the profits, what do you think? "

"Should those dishes be patented and fully promoted..."

Valencia pretended to be thinking, but she was actually quite upset.

Why am I still the same as in my previous life without any business talent?If I could have thought of this way of making money earlier, I would have made several big guarantees by now, right?

But this trouble came and went quickly, because after careful consideration, Valencia found that it was actually very difficult for her to make money from this.

She has no business channels or connections, and it is very likely that she will not even be able to apply for a patent from the Food Association.

In the past, when she was the eldest lady in the royal capital, it was possible to rely on the power of the Bader family, but at that time Valencia was not short of money at all, and naturally she had no idea of ​​making money.

Now that the Nora Chamber of Commerce has taken the initiative to cooperate, it is actually a good opportunity for Valencia to completely get rid of her status as a poor young lady.

In fact, if the inventor of these dishes is a civilian, the Nora Chamber of Commerce will not cooperate at all, and may even directly appropriate the results. At most, the inventor will be given a sum of money, which is called a one-time buyout.

But Valencia is a direct descendant of a big noble in the royal capital. Even if she seems to have fallen out with her family, she is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse. The Nora Chamber of Commerce does not want to cause trouble, so it chose the cooperation sharing model.

Anyway, the bulk of the profit is still with the Chamber of Commerce. Using a little profit can save trouble, and it can also be regarded as an investment in Valencia's talents. No matter how it is considered, the Nola Chamber of Commerce will not lose money.

Valencia thought of this easily, but apart from scolding the profiteers in her heart, she basically had no other choice.

Cooperate and everyone makes money.

If you don't cooperate, you will miss an opportunity to get rid of poverty. Moreover, the Nola Chamber of Commerce can change the dishes and claim them as their own, but Valencia has no good solution.

Go to court?

It was a battle of financial resources and connections, and Valencia now had no chance of winning.

"In principle, I have no objection. If my food can be liked by more people, I will also be very happy."

First, she pretended to be noble and agreed to the cooperation, but then Valencia changed the subject and began to discuss more practical issues:

"How will the share be calculated? Mr. Principal, do you have a plan?"

"Naturally there is."

Seeing that Valencia agreed so quickly, the principal also breathed a sigh of relief... Whether he can further become a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce depends on this project!

"This is a cooperation plan that I asked my assistant to draft. Miss Bader, please read it first... If you are not satisfied with it, we can discuss it again."

The principal said as he handed a document with wet writing to Valencia.

"Well, let me see..."

Valencia held the document and read it for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly.

The Nola Chamber of Commerce was much more generous than she had imagined, and the share figure given to her was almost twice the bottom line price in her mind.

"emmm..."

In fact, Valencia is already very satisfied with this plan, but according to the market situation of business cooperation, in this case, more benefits can be obtained by bargaining.

"What? Miss Bardell has a better suggestion for a cooperation plan?"

The boss seemed to have mistakenly thought that Valencia was not satisfied yet:

"Then you might as well talk about it and we can discuss it carefully."

"……How about this."

Valencia thought quickly for a while and decided to strive for some more benefits:

"The sharing method is as you decide... But for my part, I only need half the gold coins, and you have to help me exchange the rest for double-value vouchers, or you can call it points."

"...Vouchers? Points?"

The principal was puzzled by these two unfamiliar terms.

"To put it simply...it's a special gold coin that can only be consumed at your Nola Chamber of Commerce."

Valencia roughly explained, then stood up and turned around:

"Look, Mr. Boss... all the costume jewelry on my body are your products. The quality of your products is indeed excellent, but the brand premium is too serious.

So even if I exchange half of the income for double voucher consumption, you should not lose money. Is that right? "

In other words... the gold coins are only divided into half, and the other half should be used to purchase costume jewelry in the Chamber of Commerce at cost price...

The boss was also an old businessman. He quickly understood what Valencia meant, and after a little calculation in his mind, he nodded boldly:

"Miss Bader's proposal is very interesting. I think it is okay, and the concept of vouchers also seems to have promotional value... In short, are you happy to cooperate?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Chapter 57

The situation was similar to the situation in Kraal City three days ago.

Valencia and the principal said goodbye to each other after negotiating their cooperation intentions. The subsequent signing process of the cooperation agreement and its filing at the Kingdom Notary Office will be completed by ordinary employees of Melina and Nola Chamber of Commerce.

It was only a few days before the entrance exam for the Zhan Zhan Academy began. Valencia left all the things she could handle to Melina, and then went into the jungle to start her final training before the exam.

From the time she obtained psychic power until now, Valencia has been busy with various things, and she has not yet systematically studied the use of this power.

Now is the time.

The first is the strengthening effect on strength.

Valencia took out 10 blue bricks she had prepared in advance and stacked them up and down.

Draw the sword out of the sheath.

"drink!"

With a scolding sound, the sharp blade shining with silver sword light slashed downwards, cutting into the stacked green bricks like tofu.

The first two blue bricks did not slow down the sword blade at all. When it came to the fourth green brick, the frictional force began to slow down the sword blade significantly.

By the time the sixth brick was reached, the power of Valencia's sword was completely exhausted, and the blade was stuck in the middle of the sixth brick, unable to penetrate further.

"The results are the same as last month's test..."

Valencia couldn't help but sigh when she saw this:

"It seems that the owner of the Dimension Hardware Store is right. My physical performance has been enhanced to the current upper limit by the strengthening device. If I don't make a breakthrough, no matter how hard I train, it will not improve."

"fine……"

After a brief period of frustration, Valencia raised her sword again:

"I have gained new power, let's see the results now!"
