Chapter 79: As long as the hoe is good, nothing can be dug down(1/2)
When I heard Jiang Jin ask this question.
Cassandra, who was lying outside the window, could not help but frown slightly.
Too urgent... This question is really too urgent.
Although Hannibal seems to trust Jiang Jin very much.
But this time it is such a hidden and special operation.
If you ask a question rashly, it may make him suspicious.
Indeed, just as Cassandra thought.
As soon as Jiang Jin asked these words, Hannibal immediately frowned and said:
"Are you doubting me? Doubting my purpose of coming to this town?"
"That's not true, I just feel like there's nothing special about this town that's worth coming all the way...ah, except for the monastery on the mountain."
What? A... monastery on a mountain?
When I heard Jiang Jin take the initiative to talk about the monastery.
Both Hannibal in the room and Cassandra outside the window couldn't help but feel shocked.
God, how could you take the initiative to mention this matter in front of him?
Could it be that Jiang Jin, do you have any other ideas?
Suddenly, Hannibal took a deep breath and asked casually:
"I also heard that there is a strange monastery around the town, but I haven't been there yet. Is it really strange there?"
"Yeah, not just me, many people in the town feel a little baffled."
"Inexplicable? For example?"
"The monastery is luxuriously decorated and not open to the general public. All the people living there are young and beautiful nuns and maids. It looks weird no matter how you look at it."
In front of Hannibal, Jiang Jin began to discuss the weirdness of the monastery as if nothing had happened.
Indeed, from the perspective of ordinary small town residents.
The monastery built on the top of a mountain not far away is really suspicious enough.
Residents in the town do occasionally mention this when chatting.
And the reason why Jiang Jin took the initiative to bring up this topic.
I also wanted to take the opportunity to observe Hannibal’s reaction.
He could clearly see that the man's expression suddenly changed after mentioning the monastery.
Obviously...this guy really came to that place.
Such an attitude immediately confirmed Jiang Jin and Lanna Seer's inferences in disguise.
In this case, we need to find out more information.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jin continued to talk to himself:
"But there is nothing particularly weird in the monastery. It feels quite normal after entering."
"After entering? How did you know? Where have you been?"
Now that the topic of the Silent Monastery has come up.
After Hannibal composed himself, he began to examine the young man in front of him with interest.
He did come here for that monastery, which contained "that thing" he wanted.
"That thing" is of great significance to the Wudu Culinary Association.
Therefore, Hannibal, a top general, was sent to search for it.
At the same time, many forces were mobilized to gather in Neverwinter Town to prepare for assistance.
Granted, if you take things too far.
It is easy to anger the "night watchman" above, and it may even lead to death.
But even so, "that thing" is worth the risk.
So at this time, I learned that the young man in front of me seemed to know something about the monastery.
Hannibal also began to try to make insinuations and find ways to obtain some useful intelligence.
Just like that, a very strange scene occurred in this hotel suite.
Both of them want to obtain the information the other party has.
And they all plan to use some of their own information in exchange.
This also led to the following dialogue style becoming like this:
"I have been to the monastery several times and cooked several meals there, just some time ago."
"Huh? Didn't you say that place is not open to the general public? How did you get in to cook?"
As soon as he heard that Jiang Jin actually cooked in the Silent Monastery, Hannibal's eyes suddenly changed.
What the young man said next made him tremble with excitement.
"This is mainly a problem with my uncle. He is responsible for supplying goods to that monastery. I follow him wherever he goes."
"Your uncle...is he that Uncle Taiqiong?"
"Ah, do you know my uncle?"
"I heard from several customers that he is a very famous freight forwarder in the town. He is a very kind person."
Although Hannibal tried his best to suppress the excitement in his tone.
But Jiang Jin could still faintly hear the slight tremor.
Isn't it? It's really useful. It's a timely help.
Originally, Hannibal was thinking about how to find the businessman named Tai Qiong and establish a good relationship with him.
Then he used Taichon's carriage to sneak into the monastery.
Unexpectedly, Taiqiong's nephew suddenly appeared in front of him.
And the nephew is also a promising sacrament cook.
This... doesn't this kill two birds with one stone?
As long as we get rid of this young man named Jiang Jin.
Not only was he able to sneak into the monastery very smoothly.
It can even be a great help to win over the association.
Such a good deal can't be found even with a lantern!
After taking a deep breath, Hannibal looked at Jiang Jin and said with a smile:
"Let's discuss your joining the association. Do you know the treatment of our association?"
"Salary... By the way, how much does it cost to be a sacrament cook at your place per month?"
Since we are discussing work, we have to mention the issue of salary and remuneration.
For workers, this is a very important factor.
Hannibal also patted his chest and said in a seductive tone:
"An excellent sacrament cook like you can earn five hundred gold talents a month."
"Five...five hundred!"
"And if you join, the association will allocate you a house in the foggy city and help you introduce someone to you if necessary."
"Introduce... introduce the target!"
"That's right, you've never been to Fog City. There are many beautiful and elegant ladies there. They will definitely like you very much."
……
Hannibal was chattering here about the treatment.
Cassandra outside the window looked confused.
Good guy, your treatment is too good, right?
Five hundred gold talents a month, and it also includes allocated housing and female dependents?
If it were an ordinary person, wouldn't he have to rush to do it without breaking his head?
After working for a few years, I will gain wealth and freedom, and my wife and children will be exhausted.
But according to what Cassandra knows, it is impossible for chefs who are invited to receive such good treatment.
In other words, Hannibal really values Jiang Jin very much.
To be continued...
