After Jing Jiu became the accountant and stayed at the manor for a few days, she quickly got along with the maids in the manor and became good friends.
Through the maids' stories, Jing Jiu learned more about her new employer, especially the fact that His Majesty the King personally sent people to guard the manor and waited for several days for his employer to return home.
Jing Jiu was greatly surprised.
Being able to have His Majesty the King's envoy wait like this shows that his new employer is very unusual in the eyes of His Majesty the King...
…………
To the north of Lin Fei Manor, more than ten kilometers away, in a dense forest, a forest fire was spreading rapidly, with thick black smoke rising along with the fire.
Plenty of trees in the forest were ignited by fire, and all kinds of ordinary animals or strange beasts fled in terror.
Located in an elf village in the forest, a large group of slender and muscular elves guarded the village fence with pale faces, desperately watching the mountain fire in front of them spread rapidly and get closer and closer to them.
Some elves were dragging their belongings at home or backpacks woven with grass leaves, but they were reluctant to leave.
Suddenly, dozens of elves cried bitterly and ran to the foot of a stone statue next to the village. They threw themselves in front of the stone statue that was covered with traces of wind and rain, and chanted prayers to the stone statue.
"Great "Tree of Life", please save our home!"
Next to them, the other elves stared blankly at the scene in front of them. Amid the shouts of the village chief, everyone began to drag their bags, lined up, and slowly left in the distance...
Fire and water have no mercy, we must leave, otherwise we will wait until the forest fire burns in front of our eyes before we even think about leaving. Then the thick smoke can easily take away everyone's lives.
And right now.
"Boom."
Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and silvery white lightning fell from the sky and struck the forest fire in the distance.
Then, a strange and loud clicking sound sounded in the sea of fire, and along with the overwhelming white mist rising into the sky, the blazing mountain fire was extinguished.
The elves carrying their backpacks stopped and looked at this scene in shock, their pupils full of surprise and shock.
"ice!!!"
It is the ice that freezes the burning forest!
What was originally a heat wave has now turned into a cold wave.
"so cold!"
The cold air coming out of the forest spread to the elves who were preparing to flee, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"It's the "Tree of Life" that appears!"
"Yes, yes, the mother tree must have heard our prayer just now..."
The elves who had previously knelt down in front of the "Tree of Life" statue cheered loudly and poured out their praises for the "Tree of Life".
The village chief, who had seen a lot of the world, looked solemn. He looked at the frozen forest and thought about reporting this matter...
…………
The cheers of the elves in the distance echoed all around, and a figure flew out from the place where the thunder fell before, and flew out of the forest.
"call……"
After leaving the forest, Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief in the sky, thinking that he had successfully put out the fire today, and that he had made a small contribution to the environmental protection cause of the elf world.
The elves who were threatened by forest fires were lucky. By chance, they met Lin Fei who was strolling around here, otherwise their homeland would not have been saved.
"It's almost time to go back." Lin Fei muttered in his mouth, and then flew in the direction of his manor.
…
"Hi boss!"
Lin Fei came to the door of the mansion, and the manservant guarding the door greeted him immediately after seeing him.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lin Fei responded with a smile, then crossed the threshold and walked into the mansion.
Because it took him a long time to recognize the road last time, Lin Fei had already recognized a small part of the road. This time he would not get lost again.
After a while, Lin Fei came to the hall. After receiving the notice, the old housekeepers Cha Tu and Jing Jiu hurriedly came to the hall.
"Scented tea again?" Lin Fei glanced at the tea poured for him by the elf maid Luci, raised his head and said to her, "Luci, just pour me boiled water from now on."
"Ah?" Luci was stunned for a moment.
"I like boiled water." Lin Fei explained.
"Okay, boss." Luci nodded.
"Boss, you are finally back." The old butler Cha Tu said to Lin Fei.
"What? Did something difficult happen at home?" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"Troublesome thing? Isn't that right? I've already identified the store you asked me to look for. I need you to go see it in person and finalize it...
Also, not long ago, the general manager of the royal family bank personally escorted 200,000 spiritual stones to our home." Old Butler Cha Tu said.
Lin Fei picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the scented tea that Luci poured for him, nodded and said with a smile, "He is quite punctual. He said it would be delivered within three days, so he didn't delay it any further."
The old housekeeper Cha Tu and Jing Jiu didn't know about the royal family members' misappropriation of spirit stones, so they were confused after hearing Lin Fei's words.
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Lin Fei didn't explain too much. He stood up and said, "Take me to the warehouse to take a look at those spiritual stones."
After a while, inside the warehouse.
The old housekeeper, Jing Jiu, and Zhang Qiu watched the boxes of wooden boxes filled with spiritual stones disappear, and their hearts suddenly became empty.
Although these spiritual stones are not theirs, it is inevitable for people to feel depressed when they see the mountains of spiritual stones disappearing from their own eyes. This is human nature.
"Jing Jiu, how much money do you have left at home now?" Lin Fei put the 200,000 spirit stones into the dimensional space, turned to look at his accountant and asked.
"Ah...oh..." Jing Jiu, who was still immersed in the emotion of the disappearance of the spirit stone, was brought back to reality by Lin Fei's question, "There is still copper in the family's books."
"There isn't much money left!" Lin Fei said.
"Yes! Now the income in the manor is less than the expenditure. In five months, the money on the books will be exhausted." Jing Jiu reported the truth, and at the same time there was a hint of curiosity on her face. She was waiting for Lin Fei to give out
solution.
There were only the old housekeeper, Jing Jiu, and Zhang Qiu in the warehouse. They all looked at Lin Fei, and saw Lin Fei stretched out his right hand, turned his palm, and three strips wrapped in paper appeared on his hand.
In the palm of your hand.
"What is this?" Jing Jiu and the other three looked at the thing in Lin Fei's hand in confusion.
"This is a snack from my hometown, called chocolate. I was planning to open a store in the Capital just to sell this snack.
Now that I think about it, I feel that we don’t need to go to so much trouble. We will directly find the snack shops in the capital and discuss cooperation with them. We will supply the goods and they will be responsible for the sales." Lin Fei said with a smile.
"Chocolate? What a weird name." This was the first reaction of the three of them.
"Boss, you don't want to sell this snack called chocolate to subsidize our family's imbalanced income and expenditure, do you?" Jing Jiu hesitated for a moment, and then asked Lin Fei.
"Yes, I'm just going to do this. What's wrong? Isn't it possible?" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"Boss, I think it's a bit difficult to support the family's imbalanced income and expenditure by selling snacks!" Zhang Qiu, who doesn't like snacks very much, said.
"Old housekeeper, do you think so too?" Lin Fei saw that Jing Jiu and Zhang Qiu both looked like it would be difficult to succeed in this matter, so he turned to the old housekeeper and asked.
"Haha, I thought it would be difficult to succeed at first, but I see you are so confident, boss, so I think it can be done." Old Butler Cha Tu said with a smile.
As expected of an old elf who has lived for almost 200 years, he talks so smoothly. Look at you two, I am your boss, but you are so disrespectful... Lin Fei glanced at Jing Jiu and Zhang Qiu, and said to the three of them.
"Try the taste of this snack first, and then make a new judgment."
The three old butlers each took a piece of chocolate from Lin Fei's hand, tore off the outer wrapping paper, and looked at the black snacks they had never seen before. A flash of hesitation flashed on their faces.
"Don't worry! The taste won't be bad. I've given it to Lu Qi before, and she said she likes this chocolate very much..." Lin Fei saw the three people hesitating and urged them.
Their employers had said so. The three old butlers no longer hesitated and bit off a small piece of chocolate...
"Um?"
The unique taste of first bitter and then sweet bloomed on the taste buds. The old housekeeper, Jing Jiu and Zhang Qiu were instantly impressed by this snack from another world.
"How?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.
"Boss, this chocolate is so delicious. It has a silky texture and a mellow taste that is first bitter and then sweet. It will definitely attract countless people to buy it." Jing Jiu, a girl, was the first to speak.
"It's delicious." Zhang Qiu, who has not read many books, said simply.
"Boss, you shouldn't be able to buy this snack elsewhere!" Old Butler Cha Tu asked with a twinkle in his eye.
Lin Fei smiled and answered the old butler, "Well, it can be said that I am the only one who has the goods. Why... tea butler, what do you think?"
"Yes, to be honest, I have an old friend who opens a snack shop in Capital City. Boss, you are looking for a partner, and I would like to recommend my old friend..." said the old butler Chatu.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Lin Fei said it didn't matter who would be his partner. Anyway, as long as the other party can sell his goods, of course... we still need to have a good discussion about the price.
Talk about.
After coming out of the warehouse, the old housekeeper, Jing Jiu, and Zhang Qiu were all in a good mood. After all, the family's financial problems had been solved, and everyone would smile.
"Boss, in the future chocolate will be so popular, I'm afraid there won't be enough to sell!" Jing Jiu suddenly thought of the problem of insufficient supply. Although she knew that Lin Fei had awakened a very rare storage space power, she couldn't imagine her employer's
How much storage space is there?
Jing Jiu's worries made the old housekeeper and Zhang Qiu restrain the smiles on their faces.
Before I came here, I had already contacted a chocolate factory, and even if I were to supply your entire elf world, with the productivity of China, it would not be a simple matter.
Lin Fei waved his hands and said confidently, "You don't have to worry about the supply of goods. You just need to negotiate cooperation matters."
"Yes." Seeing Lin Fei's behavior, the three of them no longer worried about the source of goods.
Afterwards, the old housekeeper Cha Tu took Jing Jiu out of the manor in a carriage and headed to the Capital City to find his old friend who sold snacks to discuss cooperation. Zhang Qiu, the nurse guard, went to the kitchen to find the cook to get some food.
The tasks were all assigned, and Lin Fei, who had nothing to do, began to find his way around his home again. He thought that he would know all the roads he had not yet clear within today...
"Boss, where is our dormitory?" Luci, who was appointed as the guide by Lin Fei, was like a lively and cheerful oriole, chirping and leading Lin Fei.
After several contacts and the chocolates given before, this timid elf girl who was in her fifties and had just grown up was no longer as afraid of Lin Fei, her new employer, as she was at the beginning.
Maid dormitory?
Although Lin Fei was quite curious about what the inside of the maid dormitory looked like, he would not really explore it out of curiosity. If he did, that would not be a perversion.
"Have you finished the chocolate I gave you last time?" Lin Fei asked looking at the chattering Luci.
"Ah?" Lu Qi, who was introducing the mansion to Lin Fei, heard this and didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds, she nodded and said with some meaning, "Well, I finished it that day."
"You are quite edible!" Lin Fei joked.
"No, it's not." Lu Qi said coyly, "I shared it with everyone, so I finished it all by myself."
"Do you still want to eat?" Lin Fei asked Luci with a smile.
"Hmm~" Lu Qi nodded first, and then immediately shook her head. Her inconsistent reactions made Lin Fei a little confused.
"Boss, this thing must be very expensive!" Lu Qi's words immediately made Lin Fei understand why her reactions were different before and after.
"It's not expensive, this chocolate is very cheap." Lin Fei said as he took out another large bag of chocolate from the dimensional space.
Lu Qi's eyes were immediately attracted by the chocolate Lin Fei took out. Lin Fei handed the chocolate in his hand over. Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed to accept it, he said with a smile.
“In the future, our family will start a chocolate business, and then everyone in the family will be able to enjoy it.
Um...that's not right. Even if you like to eat this chocolate, you can't eat too much, otherwise you'll get cavities, obesity, etc., and you'll come to your door right away."
"Thank you, boss..." Holding a large bag of chocolates that Lin Fei thrust into his hand, Luci thanked Lin Fei repeatedly.
"Okay, you don't have to keep saying thank you. You can show me the way well and let me know the way home clearly. This is the best way to thank me." Lin Fei interrupted Lu Qi's thanks with a smile.
"Well." Lu Qi asked in a low voice, "Boss, can I open it and eat some now?"
"Of course, it already belongs to you." Lin Fei said.
"It's so sweet." Luci held a piece of chocolate in her mouth. While leading Lin Fei, she would peek at Lin Fei next to her from time to time, thinking, "The boss must be the best gentleman in the world!"
