Chapter 214 Newly opened grocery store

Azarez didn't like Vincent's description of Felissa, saying that Felissa seemed to be able to manipulate people's hearts. She was just better at listening to other people's thoughts.

Without intending to talk to him any more, Azarez made a direct request: "You don't need to ask anything else, as long as the things I want are ready."

From the perspective of a collaborator, Vincent is indeed a very satisfactory partner. He talks less and does more. He readily agreed to Azarez’s request: “Okay, I understand, don’t worry.

"

Of course Vincent will agree to Azarez's conditions. He originally planned to stabilize the maid's job by himself, because he has been portraying himself as the same kind as those maids - weak, can only rely on others to survive, and can be attacked at any time.

Such an image of being ravaged.

Such an image will resonate, and since he was once a teacher in the college, he is actually considered an elder according to his seniority, which will give people a sense of peace of mind and reliability.

But Mary, the former leader of the aristocracy, is not very cooperative. She now hates everyone and everything, like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and attacks the outside world almost indiscriminately.

Vincent watched for a moment and felt that Mary's mental state was no longer normal, so when he was trying to find a way to avoid Mary, who was like an old hen guarding her chicks, and contact the maids, Felicia handed over the maid in time.

help.

A passerby who had nothing to do with the whole thing and didn't know who they were would make it easier for them to take off their guard and not attract Mary's attention.

Under Vincent's operation, a small grocery store opened at the back door of the City Lord's Mansion. An unattractive woman was in the store, carefully brushing off the dust on the shelves with a feather duster.

She has considered opening other shops that are more likely to attract women's attention, such as flower shops and dessert shops, but one is that the initial investment cost is too high, and the other is that the goods in the flower shop and dessert shop are not durable and need to be cleaned up every day.

After thinking about the amount of labor, Felissa decided that it was better to forget it. The grocery store was so good, she just had to sit behind the counter and wait for customers to come.

The goods in the grocery store were all selected by Felissa herself to ensure that they were in line with the aesthetics of aristocratic ladies. Several pots of transplanted wild flowers were also placed in the store to decorate the store.

Then Felissa moved a chair and sat in front of the store, using colored paper to start making origami.

Origami is the cheapest thing Felissa can think of, and it is a gift that contains your heart at first glance.

She learned origami when she was a volunteer in an orphanage in her previous life. Origami requires very few materials and is not complicated. It is most suitable for coaxing children. She did not expect that she would use her origami skills here.

She folded a large handful of roses with red paper, wrapped the branches with green paper, and inserted them into the bottom of the paper rose. A rose that looked just like a real rose was ready.

While she was busy, a young girl walked out of the back door of the city lord's mansion, carrying a bamboo basket on her elbow and looking around as she walked.

"Hello!" Felissa immediately raised her voice to say hello, "The new store has opened. Miss, please come in and take a look!"

The girl also saw this small grocery store when Felissa spoke, and she walked over here without much hesitation.

"When did a grocery store open here?"

"It's newly opened today," Felissa said while talking to the girl, while looking at the girl in front of her, "What do you need to buy?"

This girl's condition is not so much bad as terrible. Her whole body feels like she is jumping back and forth on the boundary between death and life, and there is no trace of life in her body.

She needs psychological treatment and psychological counseling very much, right now.

"Ink." The girl replied softly.

Ink... They made an appointment with Vincent. Vincent would find a way to get the maid in the city lord's palace to contact Felissa, and the secret code was ink.

"The ink is over here. Take a look at what you need." Felicia guided the girl towards the shelf where the ink was placed. When she was about to introduce the goods to her, something got stuck. Fortunately, the girl didn't mind.

In other words, it is difficult for her to have emotional ups and downs about anything anymore.

The girl picked one at random and turned to leave. Felicia immediately stopped her and said, "Please wait a moment."

The girl stopped and turned to look at Felissa with a pair of empty glasses.

Felissa drew a rose and handed it to her, smiling and saying: "Today is the first day of business. Thank you for your patronage. This is for you. I hope you will come again next time."

The girl's eyes fell on the paper rose and she remained silent for a long time.

It seemed that she had not received flowers for a long time. She used to disdain the flowers sent by others, but now when she thinks about them, it feels like a lifetime ago.

So, can she still be given flowers now?

"Thank you... thank you." She reached out to take the flowers and spoke, even herself was frightened by her hoarse voice.

"It doesn't matter," Felissa pretended not to hear anything wrong with the girl's voice, "What else do you like, kittens? Puppies? Stars? I can fold them all for you."

The girl was puzzled: "Fold it out?"

"Yes, this flower is made of paper. It turns out that my skills are so good, you didn't realize it." Felicia took out a piece of paper and moved her hand quickly, joking.

After being reminded by her, the girl discovered that this flower was not the same as the real flower she had received.

In the past, she would have felt fooled. Did she only deserve a false flower? But now she doesn't care at all.

It’s still a flower after all, isn’t it?

Felissa is very fast at origami, and she folded out a frog. The frog is not as cute in appearance as cats and dogs, but if you press the tail of the frog lightly, the frog will bounce up.

In Felicia's previous life, it was a game to see who could fold the frog and jump higher.

The girl had never seen a jumping paper frog before, and her face showed a lively curiosity: "Did you put magic on it?"

No...she does know how to use magic, but why do people in this world attribute all the things they can't figure out to magic? Paper frogs can jump, and all the third-grade children in her previous life knew it was because of action and reaction.

.

"I'm just a civilian," Felissa shook her head in feigned panic, "How can I use magic?"

The girl thought about it, and the frog that could jump without the help of magic seemed even more magical. She wanted to borrow it for a look, but the treatment she had received these days made her afraid to speak.

Felicia saw the girl's desire and generously gave the paper frog to her: "For you."

The girl was flattered and took it: "Give it to me? But...is that okay?"

"You are my first customer when I open the shop," Felissa's reason was very reasonable. "There is nothing else, just a little bit of craftsmanship. I hope you don't mind."

"No, no," the girl stammered, slowly remembering to apologize, "Thank you, thank you."

I used to be an arrogant person in college, but one day my edges were smoothed away by life.
