Werther looked at the bread soup in embarrassment, rubbing his hands on both sides of his thighs. At this moment, he was hesitant to find a reason not to drink the bread soup.
However, the girl seemed to notice his embarrassment and decisively picked up the bowl. Just when Werther thought he was relieved, the girl said: "Your Highness, let me heat it into batter for you."
The girl ran away with the bowl and quickly brought the batter.
Well, just drink. Fortunately, the bowl was small. Werther mustered up his courage and drank the batter in the bowl in two mouthfuls. Then he showed a painful look on his face.
"Your Highness, it looks like it tastes bad." Wile asked from the side.
"Sigh." Witte put the small bowl in his hand on the table, "It does taste very bad. So many people are eating this kind of food, which shows that the town is still far from prosperity. It seems that the bread workshop needs to hurry up
When it comes to business, I want to sell delicious bread to the people at a low price. By the way, how much does the black bread in your tavern usually cost?"
The girl thought for a while and said: "Twenty centimeters long black bread should cost seven or eight iron coins."
Ten iron coins are equal to one copper coin, so the price of brown bread is less than half of the price of ordinary bread, which seems reasonable.
Half of the poor people in Dawn Town can only afford seven iron coins of black bread, which means they can only afford these seven iron coins to buy bread. If you want everyone to be able to eat delicious bread,
The price of bread in the workshop must be reduced to seven iron coins.
Even if the cost of purchasing and building a workshop is not included in the cost, the cost of labor, materials and energy will definitely exceed seven iron coins.
What method can be used to solve this problem? By the way, elves! It would be great if there were fire elves to save money on burning fires, but specific elves are not so easy to encounter.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?" Wile asked.
Witte said: "I'm thinking about how the workshop can save money, but we'll talk about that later. Let's find an empty workshop first, buy it and tidy it up. I remember there is an unattended workshop next to this pub.
, maybe we can ask."
The girl next to him heard Witte's words, walked closer and said: "Your Highness, the unattended workshop you just mentioned was my uncle's workshop. It used to be the only bread workshop in Dawn Town. My uncle's family moved out of Dawn Town.
After that, I sold it to our family. If Your Highness wants to buy it, I can sell it to you at a low price."
"That's perfect!" Werther smiled happily, "I can just buy it directly from you. Are all the bread-making tools included?"
"It's very complete, but..." the girl's expression was slightly troubled, "I also want to tell you the reason why my uncle no longer runs that bakery. If you still want to buy it after hearing the reason, I will sell it to you."
Werther saw the fear and tension in the girl's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and turned them into a slight figure-eight shape.
"Well, what's the reason? It can't be haunted."
"It's not haunted, but it's very evil." The girl's expression was serious and serious, "If His Highness the Lord wants to hear it, I can tell His Highness..."
The tail of Werther's eyebrows on one side raised again. As a person who can use super powers, I have never seen evil things in this world. I really want to see it. What's more, there is such a ready-made and
It would be a pity not to buy a workshop with complete tools.
"Tell me what happened in that workshop."
The girl took a deep breath and recalled:
"That was two years ago. My uncle used to run a bakery and make ordinary bread. Their family had three meals a day and had enough clothes to wear. But one day, he got two
Elves, one of them can make the bread soft and delicious, and the other elf can breathe fire and bake the bread sweetly. That's when the change started.
At first, our relatives advised him that in the Kingdom of Notland, only people with great nobility or above would raise elves. It might not be appropriate for him, a commoner, to suddenly raise two elves.
But my uncle disagreed. He said it was not illegal for common people to raise elves. He refused to listen to our dissuasion and insisted on raising these two elves.
My uncle used the magic of elves to make a batch of new varieties of bread. This bread is very soft. When you break it open, you can see many holes inside, and the taste is also very different. My uncle seemed to have discovered a new world, and he continued
Let two elves help make bread and plan to sell it to the whole town.
But who would have thought that he would never be able to make such delicious bread again. The bread he made every time was even a hundred times worse than black bread. So my uncle lost a lot of money.
Not only that, my uncle's home was connected to a bakery, and small fires would often appear in his home, burning furniture or clothes from time to time. It must have been made by elves.
After all, blood is thicker than water, so my parents bought my uncle’s bakery. After paying off the debt, my uncle could no longer live in that house that often caught fire, so the family moved away from Daybreak Town.”
After hearing this, Witte thought to himself, wouldn't the bread made by these two kinds of elves at the beginning be the kind of bread that is common in modern times? What's strange is, why can the elves only make it once?
At this time, the girl said again: "After my uncle's family moved away, the two elves still lived in the uncle's house. They never walked through the front door and liked to enter and exit through the window. Mrs. Alice, the largest aristocrat in Daybreak Town, once took people there
This bakery was designed to subdue these two elves. However, they were quickly frightened out after entering."
It turns out that there is such a thing. Anyway, what is certain now is that those two elves have powerful magic. They are probably losing their temper, so they are not willing to use magic to help humans anymore, but just blindly
The ground is wreaking havoc. Mrs. Agnes and other Duke Duke's men can't conquer these two elves, but it doesn't mean that I, Witte, can't conquer them.
"Miss, before I decide whether to buy this bakery, can you take a few of us to see it?" Werther asked the girl.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, of course I am happy to." The girl's eyes glanced diagonally downwards, her shoulders trembling a little.
Werther looked at the nervous girl and couldn't help but think that the girl was so scared, which proved that this empty bakery was so scary that people would not dare to step into it for the second time.
"If it's inconvenient for you, can we go in and have a look ourselves?" Witte asked.
"Of course." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and took out a key from her apron pocket and handed it to Werther, "This is the key to the bakery."
After taking the key, Werther smiled at the girl. He turned to ask Wile and Ivan: "Are you two afraid?"
Wiler patted his chest and smiled stupidly: "Of course I'm not afraid anymore. It's all right to go to the Mountain of Swords for His Highness."
Ivan put his arm around Wile's shoulders and said, "Since Wile is not afraid, then I am not afraid either."
"Not bad." Werther showed his upper teeth and looked at him encouragingly.
They smiled and said, "Then let's set off now."
"But Your Highness, if it requires a lot of physical strength for a while, we may not be able to hold it. Why not go after lunch first..." Wile suggested in a low voice, "The castle is not very far from here anyway."
"You should really go back to the castle first." Witte thought. "The main reason is not to have lunch first, but to check the Elf Guide first."
The three of them changed their itinerary and returned to the castle first. Potter had already prepared lunch, Werther sat at the dining table and ate with Margaery, while Wile and Ivan ate in the kitchen with other servants.
Margery had been extremely excited since the morning. As long as Werther was in the castle, she would tell Werther her experiences again and again.
Werther ignored Margaery who was chattering away. Instead, he lowered his head and slowly stuffed the chopped food into his mouth with a fork while flipping through the "Elven Guide".
"Hey, let me tell you, Brother Werther, did you listen to what I said?" Margery put down her knife and fork, then put her hands on her waist, her thin eyebrows raised diagonally.
"Well, you repeated some very boring things more than ten times, like the fact that a caterpillar was caught by you, and you started talking about it since this morning." Werther raised his head and looked at it expressionlessly.
Margery, "If Lina had dined with me, she wouldn't have said these boring things. Unfortunately, Lina either went to the kitchen to eat or ate by herself in the room."
Margery suddenly suppressed her blush, puffed her mouth, and stared at Werther angrily.
Werther was so stared at by her that he broke into a cold sweat, and he quickly lowered his head to look through the "Elf Illustrated Book".
"Brother Werther, if you keep treating me like this, you're worried that I'll tell my aunt about you having Xiaobai~" Margery smiled proudly.
"I believe you, you won't tell anyone." Werther said casually.
Just these words of belief actually made Margery blush.
"Brother Werther, it turns out you trust me so much~" Margery began to fall into intoxication.
At this time, Werther finally found the elf he wanted to find, but he didn't draw a picture.
One of the pages is: Food Elf, which can make food taste better. Currently, only the Elf branch that can make bread and soup more delicious has been found among the branches of Food Elf. Currently, only mushrooms have been found in Food Elf's food.
It should be noted that the food elf is very arrogant and will cause destruction if not tamed by its owner.
Werther suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the bread in the bakery was even more unpalatable than before. It was probably because of the elf's sabotage.
Soon Werther turned to the page about the fire elves, which also lacked pictures:
Fire elves are proficient in the use of various fires. Their food is bark, branches, trunks and human food. Their food intake is very small. They only eat a small piece of bark or a mouthful of bread every day. They can spit out countless small flames every day.
However, it can only spit out two balls of magic fire every day, and the magic fire can last for two weeks. However, it should be noted that the fire elves are very naughty and will cause destruction before being tamed.
No wonder the girl's uncle's house often had flames. It must have been caused by the mischief caused by the fire elf.
Now that I know the details of these two elves, I will have a good idea when I go to Nakong Workshop.
However, since the two elves did not regard the previous workshop owner as their master, why did they still live in that workshop? Could it be that they drove the owner away and regarded it as their home. If so, then they could
