Hey, hey, hey, hey,
On the open space at the back of the Beast Taming Academy, huge pots were set up. The soups and marinades made from a variety of spices sparkled with a ruby-like amber luster, glittering in the sunlight.
Two hundred processed chickens are soaked in the marinade and can be grilled directly after a few hours.
Gene was pulling a donkey cart over at this moment. He waved at Merlin and said, "Brother Merlin, I've brought the stuff to you."
Merlin looked at the kiln on the donkey cart that was specially used to make lotus leaf beggar's chicken with a satisfied look on his face. He specially asked Gene to go to the back garden of the Wizard Tower to get this thing.
Gene was terrified on his way to the back garden. He didn't expect Merlin to put the roast chicken here. You know, this is the territory of that great being.
Although the back garden is also open to students, who would come here for free? What if I meet that person? Fortunately, he managed to transport the alchemy kiln here smoothly.
Merlin really admires the Beast Taming Academy. Basically, you can buy anything here. For example, this big pot of marinated chicken might require a blacksmith to make it somewhere else, but it is available ready-made at the Beast Taming Academy.
By the way, these big iron pots are actually the food bowls of some large monsters.
Bundles of lotus leaves were carried over from the college's lotus pond by several students. Gene wrote down their names. These would be charged separately, even if the students said they didn't want any. It was a small matter, but for Merlin, who was developing in the long term, the clearer some things were calculated, the better.
Gene didn't realize it himself, but he started working for Merlin for some unknown reason.
But he was also happy about this, because he had been thinking about how to help these first-year students make some extra money. Seeing them living such a hard life, he felt very uncomfortable, after all, he had gone through the same thing when he was in the first grade.
"Count all of these. I will pay for each step. Now the time is almost up. You can wrap the marinated chicken in the lotus leaves." Merlin said as he asked the students to start putting the marinated chicken in the lotus leaves.
"Brother Merlin, the lemons and passion fruits you requested are also here." Several pretty female students came running over with picked lemons and passion fruits. There were also quite a few peppers in the baskets in their hands.
Merlin looked at the passion fruit and lemon that exuded an enchanting aroma. He never expected that the botanical garden of the Plant Research Department of the Beastmaster Academy had everything. Whatever materials Merlin wanted, they had it. It was worthy of being the Arcane Academy.
A chicken can be used in many ways. The chicken head, chicken neck, chicken feet, chicken legs and even the internal organs can all be sold separately.
Because people in this world basically don't eat animal offal, when Merlin started to braise chicken livers and chicken hearts, this group of people were quite confused.
After all, this stuff is for dogs to eat even for civilians. No one would eat it unless they are starving.
"Everyone, get moving. Brother Merlin paid to buy the lemons and passion fruits you planted, and also paid you to process the chickens. You should work well and be grateful. Freshmen don't have so many opportunities to make extra money. If you dare to be lazy, I will kick you!" Gene urged like a slave owner.
Seeing how hard he was shouting and supervising him in real time, Merlin immediately thought of hiring Gene. However, Gene was a junior student after all and had a high status in the Beast Taming Academy. It would definitely cost a lot to hire Gene.
But how could Merlin let the guy he liked get away?
"Senior Gene, why don't you come work with me? I need someone to help me manage these things. I think you're pretty good." Merlin went straight to the point.
Gene was a little surprised to hear Merlin say that, then he crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile, "Brother Merlin, you want to hire me? The price of hiring me is not low."
Merlin nodded. "I know. I'm not hiring you to be my bodyguard or thug. I want you to help me manage the business I want to start. That's what you see in front of you."
"Oh? If it's just a small matter, Senior can definitely help you for free."
"That won't do. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. And I want to be your boss. How about this, 200 gold coins a month?"
Gene wanted to say that it was not worth mentioning money for such a small matter, but when he heard Merlin's offer, he was stunned. He felt that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "How much more?"
Merlin thought he had underestimated the salary, so he raised another finger and said, "Senior, how about 300 gold coins a month? This is just the basic salary, not including bonuses and performance commissions."
Plop - Gene knelt on the spot, kneeling on one knee and said to Merlin respectfully, "Master Merlin, don't call me senior from now on. Just call me Little Ji. From now on, I am yours."
Damn, these nobles really don't take money seriously. Three hundred gold coins a month. They work so hard to raise monsters and work for adventure groups at the risk of their lives, but they may not be able to earn three hundred gold coins a month.
All I have to do is watch these first-year students work here and I can get so much money, without even having to leave the college. This kind of good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.
Merlin didn't expect Gene to kneel so quickly. He had thought of hiring him for 500 gold coins if he still didn't agree. He just wondered if Gene would regret kneeling so early if he knew what he was thinking.
"Very good. Your salary will be paid at the end of the month. As for the expenses of hiring other people and purchasing chickens, passion fruits, lemons and the like, I will give it to you after I sell the beggar chicken tomorrow. You can distribute it then." Merlin simply stopped calling him senior. Just kidding. He is Gene's boss now, and didn't he see that the other party respectfully called him young master?
Three hundred gold coins? The first-year students at the Beast Taming Academy were shocked when they heard this number. Brother Merlin is so powerful! The high price of three hundred gold coins offered to hire Senior Gene actually shocked the first-year students.
Didn't they come to the Arcane Academy just to get such high salaries after graduation? They didn't expect that their seniors got such high salaries before they even graduated. If they work hard to get into Merlin's sight, will they also have a chance to get high salaries?
The hot heart is beating! It's burning! These first-year students know that they cannot get such a high salary now, but what if they perform well and are noticed by Master Merlin?
What if? What if they are the next lucky person?
So this group of innocent first-year students at the Beast Taming Academy worked even harder. They also wanted to get high salaries and become the best among the people.
