Seeing the two women leave, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten them to agree to the deal; otherwise, it would have been a huge failure if they hadn't made their first deal.
"Go and inform Ye Ling and Xia Qingyi to increase the scholarship ratio for Hope Academy. How can all the professionals be so poor?" Ye Chen thought for a moment and said to Aurelia beside him.
“Yes, boss!” Aurelia nodded in response.
The transaction was completed, and Ye Chen was too lazy to linger. He was about to lie back down in the rocking chair, but then he sat up again. It was already high in the sky and he hadn't had lunch yet!
"Keep an eye on things, boss, I'll go get you some lunch!" Ye Chen shouted into the shop, then took the ten gold coins he had just earned and went out to see what good food was available on the commercial street near the academy.
Now that we've entered the mortal world, we have to do what mortals do: eat, drink, relieve ourselves, and sleep, right?
The commercial street was still quite lively at noon. Although the college had a canteen with good quality food, students would always want to eat something from the roadside stalls to change things up. So, many students had already come out in groups.
Ye Chen didn't pick and choose, and directly found the stall with the most people and lined up, while looking at the menu hanging on the stall.
"Roasted rabbit head? Eating this at midday? Don't let that Moon-Embracing Rabbit bastard see this! It's not good for students to eat this at noon, but I'm not afraid, it's just right for me! Boss, give me a rabbit head!" Ye Chen shouted loudly from behind the crowd.
The rabbit heads here are not the ordinary rabbits from Earth, but special meat rabbits bred by Ding Siyin on the Primordial Star. They contain a faint magical power, and ordinary people who eat them will have a very slight effect on improving their physique. Therefore, they are not cheap. Ten silver coins each is an extremely expensive luxury item among the current food.
Ye Chen bought a rabbit head, tried some, and found it really delicious. He then continued browsing.
As a commercial street outside the school, proper restaurants are actually ignored, but those snacks that are bad for your health are very popular. So after buying the rabbit head, Ye Chen also bought chicken wings made from Qingyu bird wings, double-skin milk made from Tianqing python cow milk, and lamb chops made from Meimei mutton...
When Ye Chen returned to the shop with a pile of things, the two Silver Moon Elves couldn't help but swallow their saliva, clearly unable to resist the temptation of the food. After a brief moment of restraint, they quickly joined Ye Chen in eating.
They were all newly born elves. Although their species' nests endowed them with adult intelligence and thinking, they were still full of curiosity and longing for food, something they had never experienced before.
The three of them ate their fill. After they were full, Ye Chen continued to lie outside in the sun. He was ready to sleep. He could manage the shop with the help of waiters. He was the boss. Did he need to do everything himself to make money?
After the midday rush, the commercial street was still relatively quiet during the day. In addition, Hope Academy had only been open for two terms, and the number of teachers and students was not large. Therefore, it quickly became deserted again, and no one even came to disturb Ye Chen's afternoon nap.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Ye Chen finally stretched and woke up.
"This day went by too fast. Is Ye Jun trying to slack off and go home?" Ye Chen muttered with a yawn, folding up the rocking chair and walking back into the shop.
"How was the afternoon? Did anyone come to buy anything?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the two bored moon elves.
"No, boss. It seems a bit deserted here!" Wenlesa replied. There was no business in the shop, and the two of them were quite bored.
"It's alright, you two go out and have some fun, but bring me back some food!" Ye Chen took out a few gold coins and gave them to the two of them. After all, he was a lord, so he wouldn't be short of gold coins.
"But what about the shop?" The two women looked at the shop, their faces showing difficulty.
"The shop is fine, I'm still here, right? We can close up shop when you guys get back. We don't do business tonight, we should enjoy life!" Ye Chen waved and said.
Upon hearing this, Aurelia and Vereesa nodded and walked hand in hand towards the store exit.
Ye Chen sat down at the counter and casually picked up the ledger. Aurelia had only recorded one transaction on it: iron dust powder sold today.
The shop actually has many more magical materials like these, but most of them are remnants from Bella and the others' experiments, and Lynn wouldn't know what use they would have. He just sold them off as they came along.
"Whether the goods are good or not is not important. What's important is how to sell them. If you sell iron dust powder to a water-major mage, he would probably think it's too much even for a single gold coin!" Ye Chen chuckled, closing the ledger. Just then, someone walked in from outside.
"Hello! Is this a newly opened store?" A childish and hoarse voice rang out. Ye Chen looked up and saw a well-built boy, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, who was in the age of voice change.
"Yes! What do you need? The Troubleshooter's General Store will ease all your worries!" Ye Chen said with a smile. Although he was planning to close, it wasn't closed yet, was it?
"Cure all your worries? Boss, you're really something else! Like you can make anyone's wish!" The boy said dismissively, pursing his lips.
"More or less! Whether it will work out is hard to say, let's just consider it an ideal!" Ye Chen laughed. "Tell me, is there anything you want? It's the first day of opening today, maybe I can even give you a discount?"
"Discount? Can you give me a full discount? I don't think I can afford it at these prices!" The young man said bluntly, asking for a full discount right away.
"This isn't a discount, it's practically free!"
"But didn't you say you could relieve my worries? My worries are that your things are too expensive. Being able to look but not buy is what makes me worried, isn't it?"
"Hiss, are all werewolf children as naughty as you?"
"I've always thought of myself as a fairly well-behaved person! The word 'mischievous' shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"
"Blind self-confidence is a disease, and it needs to be cured!"
"Do you have medicine?"
"..."
The two chatted casually, and the werewolf boy kept looking at the goods on the shelves. Many of the things he saw made him gasp in surprise.
"I really suspect that everything you sell here is fake!" The werewolf boy said, picking up a pair of boxing gloves with great reluctance.
"Whether it's true or not is up to me to decide!" Ye Chen shrugged. "You have a good eye. Those are gauntlets made from the claws of a fifth-tier Howling Moon Demon Wolf. Opening special offer: 10,000 gold coins!"
The werewolf boy's lips twitched slightly as he looked up at Ye Chen. "Want some help with your troubles?"
