Chapter 241 Limited Time Sales Event (Part 2)
Admittedly, when the brewery reopened, customers were somewhat terrified of the skeleton owner. But once they were hooked by the delicious food, whether the owner was a skeleton, a lich, or some other fantastical creature, alive, dead, or nothing at all...none of that mattered anymore.
In the food industry, unpalatable and unhygienic food are considered the original sins. Of course, in this era, people's concern for taste far outweighs health and cleanliness.
The people here, accustomed to hardship, have low standards for food. Everyone is generally a slacker, scoring only 20 or 30 points. The occasional "pseudo-student" who manages a 60 is crowned the "King of the Food Festival." And there's Jiangyou, the transfer student from another school who consistently scores 150. While others are still figuring out how to answer the questions, she's already transitioned from "question-taker" to "question-setter," quietly raising the bar for the dining scene of the neighborhood's residents.
Frankly, Jiang You felt that the people of Huntington had long lived in poverty, and it wasn't because the common people were short of money. Their biggest problem was their limited achievements in culinary arts. The variety of ingredients and cooking methods were lackluster, and they weren't adept at using spices. While some people had "inspirations," they often came up with things like whole orange marmalade, which was a bit of a bummer.
Therefore, when people do find delicious food, they are usually able to afford it and are willing to spend it to enjoy it. Even if they can't afford to eat it every day, they can still indulge in meat for a meal or two occasionally.
Not to mention that Jiangyou's pricing always exudes a sense of "robbing the rich to help the poor." The wealthy, to maintain their dignity and style, never mind paying a little more, while the poor, after a quick calculation, think they've scored a great bargain and even encourage friends and family to patronize the place, unaware that the popularity, fame, and profits they bring to Jiangyou far outweigh any gains they've made.
In this world, as long as customers come to the store, no business will suffer any loss.
Not to mention, the longer a person has been suppressed, the more uncontrollable they will become once they are released.
After ordering a round of dishes, Jericho's purse was already bulging with money. The brown-haired attendant walked back to the counter and poured the bag of money into the cash register.
The jingling sound was so pleasant that the cat guardian spirit couldn't help but happily pop out its black tail. The big fluffy tail swayed behind it, sweeping back and forth.
Then, Jericho vaguely felt something touching his tail.
"!!" Jericho's eyes widened and he turned around suddenly: "What are you doing!"
Jiang Yougu retracted his claws stealthily and chuckled thickly: "Hey, why is the color of your tail different from your hair?"
"Of course they're different. My cat form is natural, but I acquired my human form myself." Jericho was caught off guard and quickly lost in the conversation. "I can transform into whatever form I want!"
"Wow! That's really convenient!" said Takumi. "But it's best not to turn into a cat in the restaurant or kitchen. It's easy to shed cat hair and it can easily distract the chef."
Jericho: "..." Good man, I think you just want to touch the cat!
Jiangyou touched the cat, went to the basement with satisfaction, and took out a bunch of money bags from the skull.
She allocated fifty gold coins for buying a house and land, and another twenty for decoration and operation. The remaining money was scattered around, amounting to nearly twenty gold coins. If today's earnings were added, it would probably be more than that.
This money is enough for her to pay off the installment arrears and dividends from partners, with a lot left for the operation of the workshop... However, Jiangyou certainly won't be foolish enough to pay off all the payables at once. Money in her own hands can generate more money. She just needs to make sure that she can pay the bills.
She put the several piles of money into different purses - the money for buying a house and land had to be carried with her now; the funds for renovation and operation would not be used for the time being, so she hid them behind a large magic book in the deepest part of the bookshelf in the basement, and they could not be easily seen from the outside.
The remaining pocket money was divided in half, half was placed in the skull for use at any time, and the other half was locked in the desk in the basement... Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is the wisdom inherited from our ancestors.
"Thanks to His Majesty the King for sending the money on time," Jiang You muttered happily, "I was originally just short of enough to buy a house, but now I can pay the full amount directly, and even have a lot of extra working capital!"
As expected, magic is the most profitable. After finishing these things, she will also take the time to learn some new magic and see if she can use modern knowledge and experience to come up with more tricks.
After packing everything up, Jiangyou put his purse in his pocket, put on the cloak given by Andre, and went upstairs to find Andre.
The advantage of making tea snacks is that the dishes are already prepared and can be steamed at any time when customers place an order, without the need for additional seasoning or processing. This kind of time-keeping and stove-keeping task can be easily handled by both Nasha and Jericho, without even Aunt Wolf's help.
Now it is the low period after lunch and the number of customers has decreased a lot, so Jiangyou can take some time to go to the municipal office to buy a house.
After Andrei finished his work as a shill this morning... no, after breakfast, he went back to the Knights to report for leave. However, there was reportedly nothing to do today, so he patrolled twice and came back to have lunch at noon.
The Municipal Office is also in the north of the city, right next to the headquarters of the Kingdom Knights. Jiang You can just ride on his horse and borrow some of his influence.
When she came up from the basement, she happened to meet the knight who was going to the backyard to get his horse.
"The Winchester clerk broke his leg and hasn't recovered yet," Andrei said to Jiang You in a pointed tone, "but he's already sent a message to someone he knows at the municipal office. I'll take you there."
"Oh, that's great!" Jiang You clapped his bone claws. "As expected of Andre, he's super reliable!"
Andrei appeared calm on the surface, but the corners of his mouth kept rising as he turned his back to lead the horse from the stable.
In this era, horse racing was not prohibited in the city, as long as it was not rushed at top speed. Diego trotted all the way and soon reached the north of the city.
Jiangyou had rarely been here since she crossed over. She took in the nearby buildings with curiosity, and even took out a handful of fried beans and cooed at the pigeons in the square.
Andre tied the horse into the public stable nearby, turned around and saw Jiangyou teasing pigeons, and couldn't help but smile again.
"Let's go buy a house."
