Gold is Justice

"make a deal!"

The mayor of Round Cheese still had a disbelieving expression on his face, but if he agreed, the problem would be simple.

"Tell me, how can I sell the things that can be sold in two quarters in only one quarter? The sales increase by [-]%, I want to see what magic you want to use."

Chapter 13 Learning is fundamental to progress

Arrow waved his hand again, and said with a smile: "No, no, not everything in this world can be solved by magic. I have also tasted and bought your cheese pie, boss. One pie costs two copper coins. It is full, rich in taste and fragrant! If one person eats it, it may take four days to finish it.”

Round Cheese put his hands on his hips: "Isn't this? The best delicacy in Pelican Town!"

"So boss, I suggest that you remake the pies and divide them into three grades, large, medium and small."

"The medium pie is still the same size as you made before, and the price remains the same, still 2 copper coins."

"For small pies of this level, you only need to make one-third the size of medium pies. Then the price can be set at 1 copper and 5 iron coins, if it is higher, 1 copper 6 iron coins, 1 copper 7 iron coins Iron will do."

"In the end, you can make a large pie of this level four to five times larger than a medium pie, and then the price is set at 1 silver coin."

Round Cheese was still recording with a pen and paper in his hand, but after waiting for a long time, he found that Arrow stopped talking here?He held up the content he had recorded in great doubt: "That's it?"

Arrow smiled back, "That's it."

"This is simply nonsense! President Arrow, I regard you as a member of our Pelican Town, you can't play me like this!"

Ai Luo quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Boss, I said I have to pay back the money. If I fool you, wouldn't I still have to pay you back after the first quarter has passed? Don't worry, as long as you strictly follow what I said Pricing, the sales volume will definitely go up. By the way, you don’t need to bake too many big and small ones, just make one or two every day, but when pricing, you must put them in the same position as the medium one for promotion. .”

Seeing Airl's confident expression, Round Cheese still had a very disbelieving expression.

But considering that Ai Luo bought a house and couldn't just run away like this, the mayor agreed to the proposal, and he just thought he was cheated.

"After 90 days, if I don't earn two gold coins, then you can figure it out!"

"Hahaha, don't worry!"

After the relationship was settled, Ai Luo dragged Ke Ke out of the mayor's office.

Walking on the street, the fresh air of the town made Airl stretch his waist involuntarily.Ke Ke walked with her, the color in her eyes was really interesting.

"Why, do you think I'm perfunctory Mr. Mayor?"

Looking at the question mark on the little girl's face, if you don't answer her, you can probably keep thinking about it.

Coco nodded vigorously.

Airl smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, if you were a customer and saw these three pies in front of you, what would you do?"

Ke Ke: "Need to say? The small one is only one-third the size of the medium one, and the price is almost the same as the medium one. Although the big one is four or five times as big, it costs one silver coin! And the stuffing that big You can’t finish eating the cake at all, and it will definitely go bad.”

Arrow shook his finger: "So, you'll choose the middle one too, right?"

Ke Ke: "Isn't this the kind of specification Mr. Mayor originally sold?"

Airl: "That's right. But Coco, what I just asked you was 'how would you do it', not 'which one would you buy'. In fact, when you are faced with these three pies, you can use one of them. Don’t buy it, turn around and leave. However, once human beings are put into the choice, they will often choose one of the choices provided to you, rather than choose none of them.”

"This is where the human mind is more troublesome. We humans always want to take advantage, so when there are some options in front of us, we will instinctively choose the one that suits us best. But we never think that we can Choose nothing."

Stepping on the gravel road, Airl passed a fruit stand, popped out an iron coin to the boss, and put an apple in front of Coco: "If there is only one thing in front of you, then what the human mind thinks is 'accept' or 'Not accepting' both concepts."

Ke Ke hesitated for a moment, but still picked up his robe and wiped the apples.

"However, if there are three or more choices in front of you, humans will tend to choose from them, and will automatically ignore the choice of 'not accepting'. Isn't it amazing? When I first learned this concept, I also felt that It's amazing."

Ke Ke took a bite of the apple, and the fresh and sweet liquid flowed down the corner of her mouth. She quickly raised her sleeve and wiped the corner of her mouth: "So... People who never came to buy pies in the past, after seeing such a choice of three, Will you involuntarily want to buy a copy?"

"Well said. Well, the tool shop is here."

Entering the store, looking at the tools in the room, Arrow greeted the boss behind the counter in great spirits: "Boss Longstick! How is the business?"

"Business is okay. What's the matter today? Are you going to make weapons again?"

A slightly squat, bearded stick raised his head from behind the counter, his slightly bald head covered with sawdust.

Ke Ke was obviously a little frightened when he saw the fierce appearance of the long stick, so he took a step back while holding the apple, and stood at the door.

This girl's little hot girl mentality really conflicts with her instinctive reaction of being afraid of everything she sees.

Airl ignored her and said with a smile, "Is the thing I asked you to build last time ready?"

Long Stick nodded, turned around and searched for a while at the back of the shop, and quickly handed over a wooden box.

"Your request is really strange, but it's not too difficult. One silver coin, thank you for your patronage."

After paying, Arrow walked out of the shop with the box in his arms.Seeing Ke Ke's puzzled eyes, Ai Luo smiled mysteriously: "Go, I'll show you when I get back."

Go back to the guild in the evening and look at the bulletin board, there are still no tasks on it...

However, this is just the beginning.

"Brad, Buffy, Ke Ke, come here. And you, Napa, as the vice president of the guild, please come here too."

The cat was lying on the counter, still indifferent to Arrow.After calling it three times, it flew over as if to save face, and landed on the dining table.

After waiting for everyone to arrive, Airl opened the wooden box in his hand, took out two iron pieces with hanging ropes and handed them to Brad and Coco.

Brad looked at the iron plate, frowned and said, "President, what is this? I can't read, I can't understand..."

Airl smiled and said, "From now on, this is the nameplate of your guild. It has your names, guilds and occupations engraved on it. Brad, your nameplate says you and Buffy The names of the two belong to Song of the Mermaid, and their occupations are warriors."

"From now on, our guild needs further development. Everyone needs an identity certificate to show that we belong to the same guild. When you see this nameplate in the future, I hope everyone can remember that we are members of the same guild. Family members who help each other and trust each other in times of crisis.”

Coco whispered: "I said before that we can deceive each other..."

Unexpectedly, Ai Luo's face came close to Coco, with a "smile" on his face: "Our magician, what do you think?"

"Yes! Yes! Family! Companions!"

The two guild members agreed, and Airl happily took out his own guild nameplate and hung it around his neck.Finally, he took out a collar with a nameplate from it, and approached Napa with a smile.

"Don't tell me you don't wear it? This is the logo of all members of our guild. The vice president must lead by example."

Napa glanced at the collar, and snorted: "Okay, okay, you're amazing. You'll be fine if you wear this."

"No, there is another question."

Airo helped Napa put on the collar, and said with a smile: "Vice President, didn't you say you were willing to teach me alchemy?"

Napa turned her head away: "Why, but don't you want to learn?"

Airl pulled over Coco, who was still wearing the nameplate, and gently pushed it in front of Napa: "But, we have a magician now. You can teach her to get it?"

Napa's expression visibly wrinkled.Similarly, Coco's expression now is not that soft.

The cat slowly floated in front of Coco, she looked it up and down, then turned to Ai Luo: "Are you sure? Teach her? You don't want to learn it yourself?"

Airl put his hands on Coco's shoulders, patted them lightly, and said with a sincere smile: "There is no problem at all. I believe in our Mermaid Song members. If you teach her, it means I have learned. Unless we of magicians themselves express that they do not want to learn new knowledge.”

Without waiting for Napa to continue, Arrow quickly interjected, "Hey, you promised me. It's also teaching, you won't refuse, right?"

Napa hovered in front of Airl, it obviously hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and sighed: "Okay, I understand."

As for Ke Ke, this girl has been completely confused since just now. She looked at Airl and said nervously: "I...can I really learn alchemy? I used to be in school...in the guild. No one said I could learn alchemy..."

Ai Luo turned to her and said with a smile, "So, are you willing to learn?"

"Of course! I want to learn!" Ke Ke nodded vigorously, "I will definitely learn! Thank you, President... Thank you... Really thank you, President! I will definitely study hard!"

With promises comes naturally expectations.

With expectations, there will be hope and links between each other.

Airl is very happy that his guild is getting on the right track step by step.

Having a magician who is proficient in alchemy is equivalent to saving a lot of purchasing costs for a guild.

Looking at Ke Ke's expression mixed with emotion and nervousness now, Ai Luo knows that his investment is definitely worth it!

Napa sighed, it landed on Airl's head again, sat down on the hat, and said in its habitual lazy tone: "In that case, you can learn if you want. I will open a The list, and the alchemy tools that need to be purchased, I hope the president can prepare them all. Hey, necromancer girl, you just said that you went to a magic school and entered a guild, right? I will test you first to see your understanding of magic How far is it. Brad, bring the pen and paper."

Brad moved the pen and paper obediently. Buffy thought for a while and said, "(Fairy speaking) Brad and I should avoid it first? You don't want to be overheard when you teach alchemy?"

Napa looked annoyed, and flicked the little cat's paw: "(Fairy language) It's nothing, and it's not a deep knowledge. Besides, since your president trusts you, I trust you too. President, I Write down what you say, and let this little girl take a test."

Airl translated Napa's trust and picked up a pen and paper at the same time.While Napa was talking, she was writing.

After writing, Airl had to marvel at the ingenuity of magic.

This kind of delicacy is not because he understands it, but because although he knows every word, every number, and every formula symbol in his pen, after combining them, he has no idea what it means.

Obviously, the "basic" knowledge in Napa's mouth is much more advanced than those magic books in the old vine tree library!

But it may also be because I can only understand the most superficial magic books in the library.

"Okay, I'll give you two hours, and you can do as much as you can. After I'm done, I'll check the papers and see from what level it's better to teach you."

Arrow put the test paper and pen in front of Arrow, and looked at Coco with a loving face.Although this child is a bit rebellious, he is actually a good child in his heart.

Ke Ke picked up the test paper and glanced up and down at the content on it.The eyebrows were obviously frowned, it seems that these questions must be difficult.

Arrow nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, let's spread out now. Give our magician a little freedom."

But at this moment, Ke Ke, who was holding the test paper, raised her hand timidly, her neck shrunk back into the big robe.

"What's wrong?" Airl asked.

"I... have a little problem... Brother President."

Seeing Ke Ke's embarrassed expression now, Ai Luo couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Could it be that none of them?

Is this cat asking difficult questions on purpose and pretending to be "easy", or is Napa's magic knowledge already advanced to this level?

"What's the problem? Is it because I didn't write clearly?" Coco shook her head quickly, she held up the test paper, shyly covered half of her face, and said timidly——

"That... that... the elder brother's handwriting is beautiful... just... just..."

"Just what?" Airl was a little anxious.

"It's just..." As if mustering the last courage, Ke Ke closed her eyes and said in a voice that was almost like the sound of insects, "It's just... I can't read... I can't read... that... I'm sorry ..."
