My Supernatural Life of Leisure

What the elf maid with a ponytail said, in fact, all the elf maids present had wanted to say it to Luci, but they had been unable to say it out loud. Unexpectedly, it was said out loud today.

"..." Lu Qi originally wanted to reach out to the fruit plate to grab a small fruit to eat, but when she heard what her friend said, she was stunned.

Then, her face, neck, and ears instantly turned red, especially her fair face, which looked like a ripe apple at this time.

"You, what are you talking about? How could I become a lady?" Lu Qi, who came back to her senses, blushed and retorted in a low voice.

An elf girl who was nearly eighty years old immediately spoke back to Luci.

"Who says it's impossible? I have been working here for more than twenty years. In other manors around us, there was a maid like us who worked as a maid. She eventually married her master and became his wife."

"That's right, I've heard about that person, and now I'm enjoying her."

"I think I've heard of it too. You're talking about the man who married the general who defended the city, right?"

The elven maids who were resting in the small pavilion began to tell the story of the maid who flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix.

For girls like them who work as maids in rich families, to be able to marry a high-ranking man like the general who defends the city, it can indeed be said that they fly up a branch and become a phoenix, which changes their lives.

Now, in the eyes of these elf maids, Luci is very likely to become the second maid to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. Such an opportunity makes them envious.

"Stop talking nonsense." Luci was so embarrassed by her friends that she wanted to find a place to hide.

When the elf maids saw Luci being shy, they talked more and more.

"Yeah!" Luci yelled, then ran out of the pavilion and ran out of the garden, with the joyous sounds of her friends laughing and joking behind her.

…………

In the accounting room.

Mr. Jing Jiu, the accountant of Lin Fei's manor, is carefully recording the income and expenditure of the manor during the recent period.

After a while, Jing Jiu finally finished the work at hand, and then she stood up and stretched.

With her slender figure and silver-white hair, if she appeared at an animation exhibition on Blue Star, she would definitely attract a crowd of animation lovers to take photos.

Unfortunately, such a scene will never appear on Blue Star.

"Tap, step, step..."

Rapid footsteps came from outside the corridor, and after a while, a figure ran into the accounting room.

"Eh? Luci, why are you here?" Jing Jiu asked with a smile when she saw the person coming.

Luci was so embarrassed by what her friends said that her face was originally as red as a red apple, but after running all the way, her shyness faded away and her complexion returned to its original state.

Originally, Luci was so ashamed because of the words of her friends and her heart was beating fast. She wanted to come to Jing Jiu to tell him what the elf maids said to her and complain to him.

However, when she actually came to the accounting room and saw Jing Jiu, she couldn't say the words that came to her lips.

Come to think of it, what about marrying the boss and becoming the lady of the manor? She is only fifty-four years old and has just grown up! How can a little girl say this?

"I'm here to play with you! Jingjiu, have you finished your work?" Luci looked at Jingjiu nagging, then changed the subject and said.

"You just came over after finishing your work." Jing Jiu said with a smile.

"You've been so busy lately!"

"Because the old version of chocolates are selling better and better now."

"Oh." Lu Qi nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the day when the tea steward gives us a day off, let's go to Lakeside Town for a stroll!

I will take you to eat grilled fish in Hupan Town. I recommended the boss to go to Hupan Town to eat grilled fish. After eating, he came back and told me that he liked the taste of grilled fish in Hupan Town very much. "

"Okay! Shall we go out in the morning or in the afternoon tomorrow?" Jing Jiu, who had never been to Hupan Town, said with a smile.

"Let's go out in the morning! This time I will take you to the tavern I recommended the boss to eat grilled fish. If we go in the afternoon, I am afraid that the fish the tavern owner bought from the fishermen in the morning will be sold out."

"Okay, we'll go out tomorrow morning."

Jing Jiu and Lu Qi were in the accounting room, planning their trip to Lakeside Town tomorrow. At this time, another rush of footsteps came from the corridor.

"Jing Jiu, the tea steward asked me to call you to the living room." A tall elf maid came to the accounting room and said to Jing Jiu who was chatting with Luci.

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away... The tea steward asked you to come to the living room. What's the matter? Do you know?" Jing Jiu got up from the chair and walked out of the door, looking for him in front of him. the elf maid asked.

"I don't know what the specific matter was, but after a visitor met the tea steward, they chatted for a while, and then the tea steward asked me to come to you."

"Visitors who came to visit?!"

Luci saw that Jing Jiu was going to do some business, and she was the only one left in the accounting room. She had nothing to do, so she left the accounting room.

She was worried that those friends would joke about her becoming a lady again, so now she would not go to the garden.

So, Luci walked to the fish pond in the manor, where there were many colorful ornamental fish.

Because this manor used to belong to the royal family, the ornamental fish were all brought from the palace.

It is said that these ornamental fish have unusual bloodlines. When they reach a certain age, if they are fished out directly, cooked and eaten, the practitioner will gain some cultivation.

Regarding the ornamental fish, Luci also listened to her friends.

This was the first time Lu Qi had heard of eating fish that could increase one's cultivation.

It's a pity that those ornamental fish grow too slowly. They will not grow one centimeter in ten or twenty years. Now each one is only one finger long. It may take more than a hundred years to raise them before they can be served on the table!

"Tap, step, step..."

The tea steward and the guests in the living room were drinking tea. When they heard light footsteps coming from outside the door, they knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived.

Jing Jiu walked into the living room and glanced at the strange guest the tea steward was receiving.

This stranger was about 120 years old, 1.8 meters tall, with an inch of hair, earrings studded with red gemstones, and was wearing expensive satin clothes.

"Steward Tea, what do you want from me?" Jing Jiu glanced at the strange guest and then greeted the old steward Cha Tu.

"Jing Jiu, please sit down first." The old butler Cha Tu nodded and gave Jing Jiu a look.

This look was very familiar to Jing Jiu, because she had received this look several times during this period.

Seeing the look in the old butler Cha Tu's eyes, Jing Jiu knew why he was called here.

"President Shi, although I am the housekeeper of this manor, my master has left all the chocolate business to this girl Jingjiu." Old housekeeper Cha Tu said to the guest who came to the door.

Jing Jiu, who was sitting aside, heard the tea steward address the guest, President Shi. After thinking about it, she realized that the person in front of her should be the president of a certain chamber of commerce.

Being able to have the tea steward personally receive him for so long shows that the president of this chamber of commerce is doing a lot of business.

In order for this manor in the elf world to operate normally, all workers in the manor should be paid.

Lin Fei wholesaled chocolates from Blue Star and sold them in the Elf World, which was considered a lucrative business for the manor.

Lin Fei's original intention was to keep the manor running normally, and he did not want to make a lot of money from chocolate, but the development of things somewhat deviated from his original intention.

As chocolate, a unique snack from another world, spreads to the outside world, and word of mouth spreads that chocolate is a high-end product that can only be found in the capital, chocolate has now become a high-end gift for many people.

More and more people came here to buy chocolate, so much so that the owner of the snack shop that worked with Lin Fei had to make a decision to restrict purchases, but purchase restrictions did not solve the problem.

Because there are people like scalpers even in the elf world. These scalpers saw the business opportunity of a unique product like chocolate and began to organize people to queue up to buy chocolate.

The owner of the snack shop that Lin Fei cooperates with now hears from his shopkeeper every day that there is a long queue outside the shop before it is fully dark.

As soon as the door opens, it won’t take long for the chocolates that are limited to be purchased every day to be sold out.

And these business owners are all veterans, so they naturally know that the people who come to line up before dawn these days must be scalpers.

But there's nothing you can do to stop them. After all, they queue up to buy things according to the rules, and there's nothing you can do against them.

As more and more scalpers joined the queue, the scarcity of chocolate spread crazily.

Originally, a piece of chocolate was only worth a few copper coins, but now it was suddenly worth ten or twenty times by those scalpers.

At such a price, ordinary people cannot afford it, making chocolate now a special commodity for wealthy businessmen and some dignitaries.

This is only the situation here in the White Elf Capital. In order to obtain greater profits, some scalpers directly transport the purchased chocolate out of the capital.

After being shipped to other remote cities and arriving at the destination, the price of the chocolates that had originally doubled dozens of times increased several times again. It can be said that these scalpers made a lot of money.

Such an astonishing profit has naturally attracted the attention of many forces. The dignitaries in the capital have some businesses in their hands. Now that this business that can almost be said to be making money suddenly appeared in the capital, how can we not be tempted?

However, at their level, they would definitely not take action immediately. Others did not know Lin Fei's details, but they, the dignitaries, knew more or less.

The man behind the chocolate business was the one who saved the princess’s life! How long has it been since? No matter how greedy they are, they don't dare to directly grab this business.

Those high-ranking officials who knew some of Lin Fei's ins and outs were temporarily put on hold and waited to see what would happen, but some other small forces did not have such connections and knew the ins and outs of Lin Fei.

For example, the tea steward is currently receiving President Shi.

He comes from the southern part of the White Elf Kingdom. Although he has business in more than a dozen cities in the south and is considered a small and powerful chamber of commerce, he is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital and is not well-informed.

Even if they come to the capital and ask around for news, how can the dignitaries in the capital take a fancy to this small chamber of commerce from the south?

Therefore, he naturally couldn't find out any important information and just assumed that Lin Fei was a nouveau riche who made his fortune from chocolate.

"That person named Lin Fei is so unreliable! He actually handed over such an important business as chocolate to such a girl who is only about sixty years old.

Um... This girl is quite pretty and has a good figure. It seems that Lin Fei is also a lecher. "

The man, whom the old butler Cha Tu called President Shi, looked at Jing Jiu and mentally criticized Lin, whom he had never met before.

If Lin Fei could hear this person's criticism of him at this moment, he would definitely be a little surprised... There is only one accountant in the family. If I don't leave the chocolate business to her, why don't I leave it to those who can't even count? Is it taken care of by someone?

"Miss Jingjiu, my name is Shi Jiancang, and I am the president of the Qingshi Chamber of Commerce who came all the way from the south." Shi Jiancang introduced himself to Jingjiu after criticizing Lin in his heart.

"Hello, President Shi, my name is Jing Jiu." Jing Jiu responded, and then went straight to the topic and said to Shi Jiancang, "President Shi came to visit this time to buy chocolate, right?"

Shi Jiancang didn't expect that Jing Jiu would know the purpose of his trip before he opened his mouth. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he quickly calmed down and spoke to Jing Jiu.

"Yes, Miss Jingjiu, this time I came to the capital to attend a friend's 250th birthday party.

At the banquet, I happened to taste chocolate, a delicious snack, and I was instantly conquered by its sweet taste.

Later I asked a good friend of mine and he told me that this chocolate is your master’s business.

So I shamelessly visited you, hoping to buy a batch of chocolates from you and take them back to my hometown, so that people in my hometown can also try this delicious snack. "

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. What a high-sounding statement! He said that he wanted to buy a batch to take back to his hometown so that people in his hometown could also try this delicious snack. Such an excuse was really touching!

"Why don't you take it back and give it to the people in your hometown to taste it? I thought I could make a huge fortune by bringing this chocolate back from the capital, so I came here to buy it."

Jing Jiu has heard countless such rhetoric and similar words during this period, and has long been immune to them.

Although Jing Jiu was complaining about President Shi's high-sounding words in her heart, she did not show it on her face, but said to Shi Jiancang apologetically.

"President Shi, I'm really sorry. We already have a partner. If you want to buy chocolate, just go and talk to our partner."
