Chapter 247 Troll Engineering Team

When Andre went downstairs, he saw that the door he had made had been taken down in a miserable state and was leaning against the wall. A troll was occupying the center of the store and feasting on a meal - the empty plate in front of him had reached seven.

Jiangyou was still baking some sweet and delicious food in the kitchen. It smelled a bit like cake, but with the added scent of roasting flames.

Andrei looked over and asked, "What is this?"

"Egg waffles," said Jiang You. "For some inexplicable reason, I'm going to sell this today."

"What's with that door?"

As soon as Andrei asked this question, he noticed that Little Bone's eyes were filled with resentment: "That troll broke it!"

Although Jiangyou didn't continue, Andrei inexplicably saw from her eyes: "Didn't we agree that even a troll wouldn't be able to break it?"

Andrei coughed violently and touched his nose awkwardly.

This matter concerns his reputation and must be properly resolved.

So he walked over to the empty seat across from the troll with a heroic and confident look, sat down, and gestured at the remains of the door: "You broke it? How are you going to compensate me?"

"I'll take responsibility!" The troll was surprisingly easy to talk to. He said meekly, "I can't fix it myself, but I have an engineering team at home!"

He slapped his head as if he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, look at me! I forgot everything I was doing when I smelled something delicious! Is anyone rebuilding a house around here?"

Andre's expression instantly changed from blank to speechless, then from speechless to shocked, and finally from shocked back to blank again: "...Are you from the Troll Engineering Team?"

Takumi Yuu came out with a plate: "...Huh??!"

"Oh, yes! Just call me Ferias," the troll said cheerfully. "I just took over this responsibility from my father... That being said, I'm only responsible for taking orders. The real work is done by my uncles, aunts, cousins, and their skills are amazing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Andrei and Jiangyou both felt an inexplicable sense of relief... Maybe it was because this troll gave people a feeling that was too unreliable?

"So, don't worry about the door! Our construction team will arrive in a day or two and fix it for you!" Ferias had a simple smile and a very friendly attitude, but Jiang You sensed something was amiss: "Wait a minute, does this mean that our workshop will be without doors for the next few days?!"

Ferias' smile froze on his face instantly: "Ah...it seems like this."

"How can this be possible!" Jiang You put down the plate heavily, "No way! No way!"

—Wait, did she accidentally make a pun?

"How about... I'll put this old door back for you first?" The troll said as he stood up and walked towards the door panel. He obviously wanted to lift the door panel, but with just one slap, the door panel snapped and broke into two pieces.

Ferias's hand froze in mid-air.

Andre & Takumi Yu: "..."

"Or, let's discuss the construction and compensation first," Andrei said, holding his forehead. "The old door frame and gate are still in the backyard. I'll put them back in tonight. They should be able to hold up for a few days."

"Oh! That's great!" the troll said sincerely. "I'm very sorry to have caused you all this trouble. How about this? As compensation for the inconvenience, I'll give you a 30% discount on the construction costs. Of course, we'll definitely replace the door for you!"

Even though Ferias was unreliable, his attitude of admitting his mistakes and making concessions was so straightforward that the anger that had just risen in Jiang You subsided unconsciously. She said dryly, "...Okay."

Ferias grabbed the last piece of egg waffle on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said incoherently, "Then without further ado, please take me to that piece of land to measure it."

-------

I have to say that although the troll Ferias looks a little bit stupid, he is very serious and responsible when it comes to doing things.

He pulled out a thick notebook and a magic ruler from his hairy belly - this was also the first time that Jiangyou discovered that trolls actually had belly pouches like kangaroos, and both men and women had them. They were used to using the belly pouches as their storage space - and began to measure the land area and the area of ​​the house, and wrote down in detail all the demands that Jiangyou had raised, without any intention of finding it troublesome.

Jiangyou's favorability towards him also increased slightly.

After working for most of the day, Ferias finally closed his notebook with satisfaction. "Okay, I've got the general requirements. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone. We should be able to produce drawings within three days and a quote within five."

"Ah...does it take that long to repair that door?" Jiangyou said subconsciously.

"No, no, the problem over there will be solved for you as soon as possible... It will take about five days to prepare the materials..." Ferias saw that Jiang You's eyes had visibly darkened, and he quickly changed his words, "Three days, three days will definitely do it!"

"Can't it go any faster?"

"This is already the fastest speed!" Ferias said with difficulty, "But don't worry, the door we make this time will definitely not be the shoddy quality of the one I broke..."

He looked at the black-haired knight's face that instantly darkened, swallowed his saliva in fear, and quickly changed his words: "Ah, no, no, I'm not saying that the door is of poor quality... In fact, its quality and workmanship are really good, it's just that the wood is a bit inferior.

"Besides, I'm naturally strong, and I always have trouble controlling my strength. I always end up breaking things if I'm not careful! I'm really not saying you've been scammed by a shady businessman..."

Andre's expression didn't improve at all, but became even darker. Ferias was so frightened that he almost shrank back a bit. "I, I mean, this time the door must be very strong. Even if a giant dragon comes..."

"Stop!" Jiang You hurriedly stopped the troll from inserting a new flag. She actually knew a few dragon customers! What if he set up another flag and it got smashed again?

"Rather than asking about its sturdiness, I'd like to know if this door can be made larger and made into a sliding door that automatically senses the arrival of guests. Besides wood, what other materials are available? For example, glass?"

A heavy, sturdy wooden door would be suitable for a home, but it was a bit of a hindrance for a brewery like hers that doubled as a restaurant. The door had to be kept open for extended periods of time with guests coming and going. It wasn't a big problem now, but in the cold of winter, when Huntington was blanketed in snow, she couldn't do business with the door wide open; the heat would escape!
