Chapter 46 The Second Store



Lu Yao said he was going out to buy lunch, but he actually went to a snack bar to get food.

Quan Shengju and Mo Cheng would take turns to prepare employee meals. When she had time, she would go to the nail salon to pick up the portions

for lunch and dinner. At first, it was one person's portion, then three people's portion, four people's portion, and now there was Eugenia. Lu Yao picked up five lunch boxes, and also put the soup in the warehouse, and took it out at the nail salon. Lu

Yao was very busy at noon today, so he didn't go out. Eugenia bought lunch at a street stall, and the taste was not very good.

The ingredients in this world are actually good, especially some monster meat, which is delicious and does not require complicated cooking methods. It is very delicious and has received many good reviews at the snack bar.

Perhaps it was because Emerald Town was too poor, the food in the street snack shops was very ordinary, and the food didn't bring out the best of the ingredients.

Eugenia sat in a corner with her dinner in her arms. In her lunch box was a portion of rice, a portion of green peppers fried with monster meat, a portion of mapo tofu, a portion of cold potato shreds, and a separate bowl of vegetable and meat soup.

The staple food in Alexandria is bread. Eugenia saw rice for the first time, took a bite, and the taste was bland. She wasn't used to it, but she didn't say it.

In the box next to the rice was green peppers fried with monster meat. She was familiar with both green peppers and monster meat.

It was just that monster meat was more expensive, so her family rarely bought it to eat. They usually bought ordinary pork or beef, but green peppers were often bought to stew.

But she had never seen the combination of green pepper and monster meat before. She forked a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. The monster meat was tender, fresh and oily, completely different from the meat she had eaten before.

Eugenia used a fork to pierce the green pepper and meat together. When she was about to eat, an idea suddenly occurred

to her. She covered the meat slices and green peppers on the rice and shoveled them into her mouth. After chewing for a few times, her eyes lit up. It was indeed like this. Rice, like their bread, is the staple food for meals. It is bland when eaten alone, but it becomes very delicious when paired with dishes.

After eating the meat dish, Eugenia's eyes turned to the shiny and fragrant mapo tofu next to it.

This was also a dish she had never seen before. It smelled a bit spicy, but her mouth could not help but drool.

She put down her fork, picked up the spoon and dipped it in the thick and shiny sauce. It smelled so pungent, but it was only slightly spicy and numb when she ate it, stimulating the tip of her tongue and bringing a rich and novel fragrance.

Seeing her cautious look, Lu Yao explained: "I asked the chef to make it less spicy and less spicy, fearing that you would not be used to it."

Although Eugenia did not quite understand the meaning of "less spicy and less spicy", she still felt flattered. She pursed her lips embarrassedly, scooped up a spoonful of mapo tofu and poured it on the rice, stirred it and took a big mouthful.

Her eyes widened slightly. The tofu was soft and tender, the sauce was thick, and the mellow and complex aroma soaked the rice. It seemed that there was minced meat when she chewed it carefully. The slight numbing and spicy taste stimulated her taste buds, making her bite after bite, and she couldn't stop at all.

Bibimbap is greasy, so Eugenia was speechless after taking a bite of the sour and fragrant cold potato shreds. Potatoes can actually be cooked like this. The taste is crisp, slightly sour and spicy, and there is a hint of sweetness at the end. It is so delicious.

A box lunch was eaten cleanly, without any leftovers. Eugenia felt her stomach was bloated, and she found that she had forgotten the bowl

of soup next to it. She couldn't eat anymore, but she was curious about the taste of the soup.

She couldn't help but pick up the bowl of soup and took a sip, half closing her eyes. The freshness of the vegetables had completely melted into the soup. The light taste soothed Eugenia's tired body and mind, flowing like warm water, slowly filling the gaps in her stomach. She felt completely satisfied.

Harold and Si Jin's reactions to their first meal in a restaurant were similar to Eugenia's, but now they're used to it.

However, dragons have much bigger appetites than humans, and they both had super-large box lunches.

While eating, Lu Yao introduced the two dragons and Eugenia to each other.

Harold and Si Jin didn't pay much attention to ordinary humans, but they didn't do anything else.

Eugenia knew that these two were the powerful guards that Lu Yao had mentioned, so she was more cautious in her words and actions.

Mumu sat aside, eating in a serious manner.

Lu Yao was still wondering if the food would float directly into the body of the slime when it ate, but Mumu was wearing clothes and could not see.

Mumu noticed that Lu Yao was looking at him, raised his head, and made a cute "chi" sound.

Lu Yao could not help but ask, "Is it delicious?"

Mumu nodded: "Chi!"

Harold ruthlessly exposed her, "Slime has no sense of taste, how can it know whether it tastes good or not?"

The little monster is just coaxing you.

Lu Yao went to see Mumu: "Really?"

Slime is so miserable, weak and unable to speak, and it doesn't even have a sense of taste.

Mumu tilted her head, her big eyes full of innocence, looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled "chi", lowered her head and took another bite of rice, and then happily "chi".

Lu Yao's heart melted: "Mumu is so cute and strong!"

Mumu blinked her eyes and said obediently: "Chi."

Harold: "..."

Si Jin said softly: "Fool."

After dinner, the nail salon closed.

The clerks said goodbye at the door and left in different directions.

Eugenia hummed a song and returned to her home on West Street with a sign of "Brown's Tailor Shop". Mrs. Brown lost her temporary job at the cake shop and could only take some small sewing jobs every day.

However, this town is too poor, and most women have some sewing skills, so the tailor shop's business is not very good.

Hearing Eugenia coming back, Mrs. Brown stood up immediately, her eyes full of worry, "Eugenia, is your work going well?"

Eugenia smiled, "Very well."

Mrs. Brown didn't believe it: "Really? Don't lie to me."

In the morning, Eugenia left, and the neighbors gathered around Mrs. Brown and talked a lot, especially the owner of the fruit shop next to the nail salon, who said a lot of strange things about the nail salon.

Mrs. Brown was worried all day, fearing that Eugenia would get into trouble. She went to the nail salon several times at noon, but didn't dare to go in, and didn't see anything.

Eugenia spoke firmly without any hesitation: "Really, the owner of the shop is very nice, the work is not hard, and the food is delicious. Mom, don't worry, I want to learn in the nail salon and become a manicurist in the future."

Lu Yao closed the shop door but did not leave. She was looking through the materials brought back by Harold and Sikin in the laboratory.

Dragons probably really have a natural treasure-hunting skill. They found many materials that are difficult to obtain at the S level, including the wing tips of level 12 monsters, the poisonous blood of level 15 demon snakes, and several rare gems and herbs.

The only two inconspicuous and cheap herbs were missing. I guess I forgot them.

Lu Yao classified the materials and placed them on the shelf. He also wrote labels and stuck them aside, fearing that he would forget.

Tomorrow I will go to the grocery store to buy the last two materials. Once I have gathered all the materials for formula two, I can start refining glue that can add properties.

Lu Yao came out of the laboratory and prepared to close the store and return home.

System: [There is a little fire dragon outside. Lu Yao

opened the door of the shop and saw the red-haired girl with two ponytails. He was a little surprised: "Tina, what's the matter?"

Tina turned her head with surprise in her eyes.

She thought the shop was closed and she would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Shopkeeper, I have agreed with my mother that I can come to the nail salon to work during the summer vacation. I want to be an apprentice."

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, "How long will your vacation be?"

Tina: "There are still about twenty days."

Lu Yao: "...Nail salon apprentices usually need to study for three to six months before they can become masters. Even if it is a dragon, twenty days can only be regarded as a visit and study. You can't learn much, and it is a bit inconvenient for a small shop."

Tina finally convinced Field, thinking that she could become an apprentice directly when she came to the store. She didn't expect the owner to answer like this, and she was a little at a loss.

Lu Yao was also helpless. If he started training a manicurist now, she might not be able to work independently when she went to the next world.

At present, only Mumu would stay in the store because she named her. She would not force Harold and Sijin.

After the probation period, if Eugenia was willing to stay, Lu Yao would sign a contract with her. After she finished her training, she would need to work in the store for a few years.

Tina's situation was not a good choice for Lu Yao.

She did not have the extra energy to hire a clerk who could only work for twenty days.

After Lu Yao explained it clearly to Tina, he closed the store and went home.

The little fire dragon squatted on the top of the barren mountain all night, swinging its tail irritably, making the monsters and birds around it restless and fleeing.

She was really interested in manicures, and wanted to learn from the shop owner to freely draw landscapes on her nails, and design manicures with complex layers and beauty.

In addition, she was also very interested in Lu Yao. The magic manicure woven with magic of two attributes surprised her very much, and it can be said that it directly refreshed her view of magic.

She wanted to know more.

The lifespan of humans is short, only a hundred years in total.

The lifespan of dragons is long, and even if she stays with that human, she will only be an adult after more than a hundred years.

The little fire dragon's tail stood up straight and fell heavily to the ground, making a heavy sound.

She flapped her wings lightly and flew towards the dragon's nest.

The little fire dragon Tina decided - to take a gamble!

In the early morning, the Royal Magic Academy was a little different from usual. The cafeteria was crowded with students who came to watch the excitement, and it was even more noisy than usual.

"Wow, it's really the High Priest Carlos! He is worthy of being the 'Silver Rose' of the Empire, so magnanimous!"

"Is Carlos back to the academy for the school anniversary? Why are his eyes closed all the time?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down! Don't you know? When Carlos was refining secret medicine for His Majesty, the crucible exploded and injured his eyes."

"...I haven't heard of this. It's the first time I've seen Carlos's true face in three years of school. Is he blind?"

In the crowd, Helena waved a feather fan, her lips slightly raised, with a hint of contempt.

These fools, who know nothing, have the nerve to talk about Carlos.

After Carlos finished his breakfast, he stood up and left, as if he was oblivious to the discussions and attention around him.

The dean accompanied him attentively, and swept his eyes sternly, forcing back the students who wanted to follow him.

Ordinary students were frightened by the dean's majesty, and even if they still had a yearning for Carlos, they did not dare to follow him out.

Helena was different. She was born into the noble family of Kinkley and was the eldest daughter who was doted on. She didn't care about the dean's warning at all, and followed leisurely, waving a feather fan and holding up the hem of her skirt.

At the corner of the corridor, there was a sudden sound of girls gasping.

"The color is so pretty, it shouldn't be dyed with amber liquid, right?"

Audrey said in a high voice: "No, I got it done in a small shop called "Luyao Nail Salon". The owner has great skills and can make all kinds of styles."

"Oh my God, this is so pretty! Audrey, where is that shop?"

"This plush ball looks like the Audrey hamster you raised."

"It's like it, it is. I asked the owner to paint it."

"You can paint this on nails? So cute! Tell me where the nail salon is? I'll ask Ryan to go with me in the afternoon self-study class!"

Audrey was very proud. No girl could resist the skills of the owner of that nail salon. Anyone who has seen it would be moved.

She and Joan were originally rushing to the cafeteria in a hurry to see Lord Carlos again, but they were blocked by this group of classmates halfway and had to recommend the nail salon.

Carlos stopped at the other end of the corner, his eyebrows raised slightly.

A servant understood, walked over and said a few words to Audrey, and came back to find out the specific location of the nail salon.

Carlos nodded, turned his head to the direction of the dean, "I have nothing to do this afternoon, I want to go out for a walk. Teacher, don't worry."

The dean wanted to at least arrange a team of guards, but Carlos had already left.

Although he couldn't see, his actions were not affected at all.

Helena caught up from behind, only seeing the dean, with a little disappointment in her eyes.

Suddenly, a voice called her from behind, "Helena, so you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Hearing the owner of the voice, Heelena frowned slightly, and when she turned around, her expression was completely relaxed, revealing the joy of a young girl, "Zelan, I am looking for you too."

Zelan Rui was completely immersed in the dream love with Heelena, with a sweet face: "It's just right, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner. I heard that Master Carlos came to the academy, and many people went to the cafeteria to watch the excitement. Maybe we can meet him. I remember that you admire Master Carlos very much?"

"..." Helena was too lazy to complain about Zelan's slowness. She turned around with a happy face, hugged his arm, and went to the cafeteria together.

On this day, Audrey sold several waves of Amway in school.

She did not take the initiative to cause trouble. Maybe girls are naturally sensitive to some beautiful details.

Audrey's desk mate saw her holding a book and immediately noticed the little tricks on her nails. She exclaimed, and all the female classmates in the class came to watch.

The classmates in the class were curious enough, and told their friends in other classes.

For a while, the name "Luyao Nail Salon" became a high-frequency word in the conversations between female classmates in the magic academy.

Emerald Town, Luyao Nail Salon.

Luyao opened the door of the store, and Tina was standing outside the door, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Something?" Lu Yao really didn't know what to say. She thought that her rejection last night would make the little fire dragon sad for a long time.

Tina nodded: "Boss, I'm here to apply for the position of clerk."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yeah. Not only a month's vacation, I can keep learning from you until you die."

Lu Yao: "..."

Are all dragons so straightforward?

Lu Yao wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold it back.

The income from the snack bar exploded again two days ago. Now she has a life expectancy of 6,895 years, but she is worried about having a life to live but no money to spend.

A little later, other employees arrived at the store, and Lu Yao solemnly introduced Tina, the new apprentice.

Si Jin and Harold knew Tina before, and accepted it calmly.

Eugenia seemed a little anxious.

Mumu secretly pulled Lu Yao.

Lu Yao lowered his head: "What's wrong?"
