Fortunately, since he has been busy building the workshop, he did not even eat lunch. It is almost dusk now, and Werther is very hungry. If he works hard, he should be able to eat two to three times the usual amount. And this shop
The desserts are very small, and the jam pie is at most a quarter of the size of an ordinary pie, so it shouldn’t take much effort to eat.
Werther first ate two pies, two scones and five very small waffles in ten minutes. He also drank a cup of black tea in the middle of the day. By this time he was already very full. However, he only ate one
Small portion of dessert.
After counting, there were three pies, three scones, fifteen muffins and two plates of biscuits. Oh my God, how could I finish all this? Werther took a deep breath and looked at it with some worry.
With the remaining desserts in front of me, I didn’t even have the energy to take another one.
"Your Majesty, you can't eat anymore so soon?" The tea shop owner looked at Werther, his tone was very relaxed, "The desserts that get spoiled every day because they can't be sold are much more than what you just ate.
.”
Werther gritted his teeth and continued eating.
He held a piece of pie in his left hand and a scone in his right hand, and after a while he finished two more. At this time, he really couldn't eat any more, so he drank a sip of black tea and leaned on the back of the chair.
"Come on, Your Highness, you have already eaten nearly half of the dessert." Gore cheered him up from the side.
Twenty minutes had passed by this time. Werther took a deep breath, pulled the plate of waffles in front of him, and began to nibble. The sweet and greasy taste filled Werther's entire mouth. At first, he felt that these desserts were not very tasty.
Not bad, but now that he has eaten too much, he is extremely tired of the taste.
Werther stroked his belly, looked at the two empty plates in front of him, and ate a few more waffles.
"Uh, I'm about to spit it out."
It seemed that Werther really couldn't eat anymore. When his father wasn't paying attention, Gore sprinkled some salt on the plate of biscuits.
He whispered in Werther's ear: "Your Highness, these are too sweet. Maybe they would be easier to swallow if they were saltier."
"Thank you." Werther tasted a biscuit and felt better.
He ate another plate of biscuits and drank two cups of black tea. At this moment, he really couldn't eat anymore. He also wanted to drink less water to give himself more appetite for desserts, but unfortunately these desserts contained too much sugar.
If there is too much, he must drink some tea before he can continue to eat.
There was only a quarter of an hour left, and it was almost an hour. In such a short period of time, he couldn't swallow the rest of the dessert.
What should I do? What should I do? Yes! The owner of the tea shop wants me to eat all the unsold desserts, but if the remaining ones are sold, I don’t have to eat them anymore.
!
Thinking of this, Witt expressed his thoughts to his boss.
"If I buy all the remaining desserts, then you will have no desserts here, which is equivalent to me eating all the remaining desserts!"
"No!" the tea shop owner refused, "If this is the case, then you can buy all my desserts out of selfish motives from the beginning, so how can I see your sincerity?"
"What if my servant buys it?" Werther continued to ask.
"No, unless he really wants to eat dessert and buys all the remaining desserts. However, I must see that he really wants to eat it."
"Is that so..." Werther looked at Wile with some embarrassment and asked, "Do you want to eat these desserts?"
Wile has not yet recovered from the shock of his broken love.
His attitude was still in bad shape. He glanced at the desserts on the table, touched his shriveled belly, and muttered: "When you are heartbroken, you crave sweet things the most. I want to eat it. Your Highness, give me the rest."
Can you leave them all to me?"
"sure."
"Then I'm not welcome."
Wile squeezed Werther down, sat on the chair and began to eat. He almost took a few bites of a pie, a few bites of a scone, every two bites of a muffin, and a bite of a biscuit. Ten minutes later, he finished the last piece
Biscuit, licked his lips with satisfaction, and drank hot coffee. It was exactly an hour.
"It's so delicious. I feel better." Wile pushed the empty plate in front of him far away and burped.
The others were shocked when they saw Wile eating with such relish.
"Boss, are there any more?" Wile raised his empty eyes and looked at the tea shop owner.
The owner of the tea shop was also moved by the sadness in the young man's eyes, and said hurriedly and distressedly: "There is also a batch of freshly baked muffins, I will go and get them for you first."
"Thank you."
Soon, the owner of the tea shop brought several plates of warm muffins. Wile continued to devour them and ate them all within two minutes. He wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "I'm finally full. How much is the total?"
The tea shop owner looked at him in shock: "What you just ate costs four silver coins."
"Okay." Wile took out four silver coins from his pocket and walked to the boss. Suddenly he saw Gor standing next to him. He felt sad in his heart. He took Gor's hand hard and put the silver coins on him.
in the palm of your hand.
"This is money, please give it to your father!" Wile said, almost crying.
He didn't dare to make a fool of himself in front of Gor, so he turned around, looked up at the scenery outside the door, and let the wind blow his eyes, drying his tears and preventing them from falling.
Werther patted Wile on the shoulder, smiled at him and said, "You did a good job today."
Afterwards, Werther walked up to the tea shop owner and said, "I should have completed your test this time."
The owner of the tea shop crossed his arms in front of his chest, closed his eyes, sighed, and then nodded: "I guess, your sincerity is so-so, but your servants really impress me. They have all been since they were young.
When I came here, I understood something from the look in his eyes when he looked at my son, ugh."
After hearing this, Witte twitched his lips in surprise and helplessness, but he was still very happy to have passed this test.
"So, what I told you about the workshop before..."
Just when Werther was about to mention the incident to the tea shop owner, the tea shop owner took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and continued: "Your servant looks really good, but it's a pity that my child is a boy, and he is also a man.
Boy, it would be great if one of them was a girl."
Werther also nodded: "Yes, if one person is a girl and they happen to fall in love, they can fall in love, get married and have children."
"Or, they can all be girls," the tea shop owner added.
"Huh?" Werther almost fell down in surprise, "What did you just say?"
"Well, what I mean is that if they are both girls, I can adopt your servant as my goddaughter, so that our husband and wife will have two daughters. What a wonderful thing."
"Oh, I understand." Werther smiled awkwardly, patted his chest, and muttered in a low voice, "Scared me."
"Okay, since today's desserts are all
Once we finish eating, I can close up shop early. You guys should go back quickly. Although the castle is not far from here, it’s not very close either.” The owner of the tea shop suggested, “With such a distinguished status as yours, you don’t even have a bodyguard.
If you don’t take it with you, I don’t know how many bad people will want your life, so go back quickly.”
Sure enough, the tea shop owner forgot about the workshop I just talked about... Werther felt helpless in his heart.
"Wait, sir, do you remember what I said about the cotton and wool workshops?" Werther stepped forward and said.
"Huh?" The tea shop owner glanced at Werther, with a cautious tone in his voice, "I didn't expect you to still remember this. Well, I did promise you that as long as you pass my test, I will help you.
Run those workshops. However, I don’t have much money to run them now, so you have to lend me some gold coins first.”
Werther looked at him in surprise and said, "I don't need your money. I will pay all the expenses. You only need to help me take care of two workshops."
The owner of the tea shop opened his eyes wide and said: "So, it was all a misunderstanding, haha~ I thought you wanted me to pay first and then take care of the cotton and wool workshops. Such conditions really made it difficult for me, so I proposed a test
You. Haha~ Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I would like to help you manage the two workshops, and apologize for my behavior of forcing you to eat those desserts just now."
Werther twitched his mouth in surprise and helplessness, and his cloak almost fell to the ground.
"Well, since you are willing, then come and work in my workshop for one gold coin per month. But in addition to running the workshop, you also have to help with two apprentices."
"Of course I know this, Your Highness. If you let my wife work in the workshop and take care of our three meals a day, I can also help you with four apprentices. Because in a few days, my son Gor will
Back to where he works, my wife and I are too lazy to cook, so why not just eat the food provided by the castle." The tea shop owner requested with a smile.
"Well, no problem." Werther responded, "Anyway, our castle also provides breakfast and lunch to the long-term workers on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if we provide you with three meals. Does your wife also have the corresponding skills?"
"She has worked with me before, and her skills are better than mine." The owner of the tea shop looked quite proud.
Of course Witte likes to hear this news. Now there are two permanent workers who know how to handle cotton and wool, which is a good thing for the management of Daybreak Town.
"What kind of work can your wife do?"
"She's not good at taking on apprentices. She can do technical work in handling cotton and wool."
"That's good. As an experienced long-term worker, I will give her thirty-five silver coins every month as a reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness. When can we go to work?"
"The cotton and wool workshops are still under construction and will be operational in about two weeks. A few days before that, can you purchase the corresponding tools and materials?" Witte asked.
"Of course. Two days in advance, we will have everything ready and the two workshops will start working on time. But the money to buy tools and materials..."
"It's easy to say, from the day you and your wife start buying things, it's the day you calculate your wages. I will also give you twenty gold coins to buy tools, cotton, wool, etc. The remaining money will be placed in
Workshop for emergencies."
"Yes, Your Highness," the tea shop owner replied, "I am looking forward to the next work."
Werther nodded with satisfaction: "I'm also looking forward to it."
