Since the bet is going to be made, the hotel will officially start operating. Mingyue is preparing to summon some helpers to take charge of the daily cleaning of the hotel.
Mingyue happened to see a magic record of summoning floating spirits in Solomon's library. These are small ghosts that can help with housework, and these summoned creatures will completely obey the summoner's orders.
Summoning floating spirits requires a summoning medium such as crystal, which Mingyue doesn't have, so she plans to try using candy instead, and that's when Skol happened to bring her some sugar.
Originally, Mingyue planned to use sugar to make candies of various shapes, put them in bags and sell them in stores, but now she just made them all at once.
She first prepared various basic materials, including sugar, fruit juice, and some strange ingredients like chili peppers and bitter roots.
To make candy normally, you need to pour sugar and water into a pot in a ratio of 1:1, heat it slowly over low heat, and then add juice.
But in the magical world, everything becomes simple.
Mingyue only needs to recite a spell to mix sugar and fruit juice into syrups of various colors.
She continued to cast her magic, and the syrup gradually condensed into candies, which slowly rotated in the air. They had different shapes, including orange-flavored pumpkin monsters, chocolate-flavored devil wings, and strawberry-flavored hellhounds.
In addition to normal flavors, Mingyue also created chili-flavored little devils, bitterroot-flavored mummies, etc. There are also watermelon-flavored little devils and sweet potato-flavored mummies. She will make a mixed flavor of these and sell them in the store, so that customers cannot predict whether they will taste normal or strange.
The task of putting the candies into the glass bags was left to the puppet and Xiaoman. Mingyue took a plate of fruit-flavored candies and went to another room, ready to summon the floating spirit.
Mingyue placed the candies on a small table, forming a circle, and then placed a piece of paper with a magic circle drawn on it in the center of the circle.
She waved her staff, inputted magic power to awaken the magic circle, and then vaguely wrote a few words in the air. The magic circle emitted rays of light, which fell on the candies. It seemed as if something invisible was flowing in the air, and the light of the candies gradually became soft and bright.
Slowly, several translucent spirits emerged from the candy blocks. They were about the size of a palm, each covered in white cloth, with two holes dug out where their eyes should be. Mingyue could see that their eyes were curiously and shyly observing the surrounding environment, especially the colorful candy blocks.
Mingyue smiled and said to them, "Hello, I would like to ask you to help me clean the hotel. You can move around freely in the hotel, and this room will be your lounge. These candies are small gifts I prepared for you, I hope you like them."
The floating spirits seemed very interested in the candy. They circled around it several times and then touched it cautiously.
The sweetness of the candy made them feel satisfied, and they nodded, indicating that they were willing to help Mingyue.
"Then you will be responsible for cleaning the hotel, and I will provide you with candy as payment for your work."
Although the magic book said that floating spirits could only transform with the help of the summoner's magic power and they could absorb the magic power in the air on their own, Mingyue still planned to provide some food for his summons.
"Come on, I'll first familiarize you with the other creatures in the inn, and then you can walk around the inn on your own."
Mingyue led the floating spirits to the kitchen, wanting to show them Xiaoman and Gordon: "This is where the kitchen is. If you're hungry, you can come here and ask Gordon for something to eat."
As soon as I entered the kitchen, Xiaoman rushed over excitedly.
"Yueyue! Our travel package is sold!!!"
Mingyue was also surprised that someone signed up so quickly: "How many people have signed up? Which plane are they from?"
"Six! All six spots for the boutique tour group have been sold. I saw they're guests from the interstellar plane."
"The set meal is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, right? We need to hurry up and prepare."
"Yes, it's a two-day boutique small tour. Yueyue, do you need my help in preparing anything?"
Mingyue quickly assigned the tasks: "Well, Xiaoman, help me set up the shop and the craft shop. Gordon, you can prepare some bread. Fuyouling, you can check the hygiene of the hotel to see if there are any corners that have been missed."
Everyone took action immediately. Xiaoman helped make some small decorations to stick on the glass windows of the store, while Mingyue held a magic wand and used magic to decorate the handicraft shop and the store.
The handicraft shop still maintains its original wooden style. Mingyue placed two extra-large long tables inside so that customers can do handicrafts on them.
The materials for the crafts are stored in jars and placed on shelves on the wall.
These materials are colorful and can become a decoration in themselves as long as they are arranged neatly.
The store no longer uses the original wood style. The dark walls are decorated with golden crystal chandeliers. A ghost alarm clock hangs next to the walnut cash register. In the middle of the store is a large round table with a red velvet tablecloth on it and wrapped candies in a wicker basket.
Another long table against the wall was covered with a black tablecloth, and black pompoms were hung under the tablecloth as decoration. On this table were pinches made of slime. In order to prevent anyone from making a mistake, Mingyue also placed a sign that read "Not edible."
Mingyue looked around some shops and felt that the decoration was in place, but there were not enough goods.
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside, "I'm back!"
It's Alros!
Mingyue responded loudly: "Alros! We are in the hotel, come in."
Alros easily stepped over the inn wall and stood in the yard. "Mingyue, I brought you some rock berries. They're sweet. Come and try them and see if they're what you want."
As she finished her voice, a pile of magma berries was placed in the yard.
As the name suggests, magma fruit is a kind of fruit that grows in magma. This fruit can grow in a high temperature environment, has a bright appearance and a unique taste. Compared with fruits growing on trees, it is more similar to sea grapes, but it grows larger than sea grapes.
In order to verify whether the ingredients collected from hell are poisonous, Mingyue learned the magic to determine whether the food is poisonous. After casting the magic on the food, if purple spots appear on the food, it means the food is poisonous, and if white spots appear, it means the food is non-toxic.
After confirming the magma berries weren't poisonous, Mingyue took a bite and her eyes widened in surprise. The magma berries weren't just sweet, they also had a slightly burnt aroma, a combination that felt like caramel. Furthermore, the magma berries had a crispy skin and a soft interior, tasting a bit like popping pearls.
What Alros brought was really timely! These magma berries can definitely be used to develop new products!
