Start with full cooking skills, make money and become a lord

Smoke rose from the chimney, and Cheng Yu was frying fried rice in the kitchen.

The garden of the manor not only has various flowers, but also several umbrella-like trees, under which stone tables and stone benches are arranged.

Maxi and the gray-robed old man sat casually at the stone table to rest.

Mina was wearing a classic black and white maid outfit, with a pair of furry white animal ears on her head, slender and tall, holding a broom in her hand, sweeping the road.

Maxi's eyes fell on Mina. This animal-eared girl had a good figure and a high appearance, but her heart was calm.

As the third prince of the Black Sun Empire, Maxi had seen too many beauties and had long been aesthetically fatigued.

He was more interested in food than women.

Cheng Yu walked out of the wooden house.

Two large plates of fried rice were placed in front of Maxi and the gray-robed old man.

The golden and crispy fried eggs exuded an attractive crispy aroma, paired with the distinct grains of zongzi rice, chopped green onions and MSG to enhance the fragrance and freshness, and just smelling it made people drool.

After taking a spoonful to taste it, Maxi's fat round face was immediately filled with shock, "Oh my God! Compared with this bowl of egg fried rice, the palace delicacies I ate before are simply garbage!"

"Is it really that delicious?"

The gray-robed old man was skeptical and also took a spoon to taste it.

The crispy aroma of the fried egg and the fragrance of the onion are endless.

"It smells so good!" The gray-robed old man couldn't help but praise.

"It's amazing. There is such a great chef in the deserted borderland of the Northern Fortress."

Impatiently, Maxi picked up the plate, opened his mouth wide, and poured the egg fried rice directly into his mouth.

"Is this boss the descendant of a palace chef?" The gray-robed old man guessed.

Hearing the two people's praise, Mina showed disdain, as if she saw two country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Egg fried rice is just the most basic of Cheng Yu's many delicacies.

"Mina, let's eat." Cheng Yu said to Mina.

After a busy morning, I haven't had breakfast yet.

Putting down the broom, Mina brought out a plate of braised pork and two plates of seasonal vegetables from the kitchen.

The three plates were placed in front of a stone table under another big tree, only five or six meters away from Maxi's stone table.

The braised pork is cooked with pork belly, onion, ginger, garlic, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili and other condiments, and the fragrance is everywhere.

Smelling the aroma of braised pork, Maxi was like a fly smelling shit, unable to resist the temptation, and walked quickly to Cheng Yu and Mina's stone table.

"Boss, what is this? It smells so good."

"Braised pork."

Cheng Yu picked up a piece of braised pork and threw it into his mouth.

Lying on the table, Maxi looked at Cheng Yu with hope, "It looks delicious, can I have a taste?"

"Yes, but I have to pay."

"Money is a small problem."

Maxi used the spoon he had used to eat fried rice to scoop up a piece of braised pork to taste.

It was fat but not greasy, soft and tasty, and the aroma of star anise and cinnamon complemented each other to form a unique delicacy.

With his eyes slightly closed, Maxi's fat round face showed an expression of enjoyment and admiration, as if he was doing something indescribable.

"Boss Cheng Yu, can I live here? You make delicious food for me."

Here you can enjoy delicacies that are not even available in the palace, and what's the point of going back to the northern fortress?

Maxi plans to live here with Cheng Yu.

"Fatty, this is my home, why should I let you live here?"

Cheng Yu was a little impolite.

"I can give you money."

"Give money? How much?"

"I'll give you 50 gold coins a month."

"How much? Fifty gold coins?"

Cheng Yu was surprised. He could earn 1.6 gold coins a day by selling buns, and 48 gold coins a month. After deducting the cost, the profit was only about 47 gold coins.

This young man named Maxi actually gave out fifty gold coins at once. He was simply inhumane!

Seeing Cheng Yu's reaction, Maxi thought Cheng Yu thought it was too little, "One hundred gold coins, how about one hundred gold coins?"

Cheng Yu twitched his mouth. This fat guy was too rich. Some people were born in Rome, and some were born to be cattle and horses. The ancients were not deceiving me.

This manor covers an area of ​​several thousand square meters and has dozens of vacant rooms. It is larger than an ordinary hotel, and it is no problem to accommodate two more people.

"Okay, but you have to pay first." Cheng Yu was worried that Maxi would refuse to pay after staying.

"Teacher, give Boss Cheng Yu 100 gold coins." Maxi said to the gray-robed old man.

The gray-robed old man hesitated for a moment, looking at Maxi's bloated figure, "Um... aren't you going to lose weight? Are you sure you can still lose weight living here?"

"As long as the speed of losing weight exceeds the speed of gaining weight, there will be absolutely no problem." Maxi's fat face was full of confidence.

"Okay."

The gray-robed old man took out a beautiful blue small cloth bag, which was decorated with the logo of the Continental Magic Association, and took out 100 gold coins to Cheng Yu.

After receiving 100 gold coins, Cheng Yu looked at the blue bag curiously. This blue bag was only the size of a palm and could not hold 100 gold coins.

It seemed to be a space magic weapon similar to a space ring.

"My name is Maxi Bernard, and I am currently a first-level magician. This is my teacher, Austin Yarick, a fourth-level magician."

Maxi introduced himself and the gray-robed old man to Cheng Yu.

"Fourth-level magician? So awesome?"

Cheng Yu had learned about the professional system of the Celsis continent. Each profession had nine levels, and the strength of each level was very different.

Most of the people who studied magic in the Black Sun Empire were first-level or second-level magicians, and fourth-level magicians were rare.

These two guys, one first-level magician and one fourth-level magician, were generous and had rare space magic props.

It can be seen from this that these two people definitely had extraordinary origins.

Cheng Yu had some idea in his mind.

After getting 100 gold coins from Maxi, plus the 100 gold coins from Marcus last time, plus the original 55 gold coins, Cheng Yu now has 255 gold coins, a rich man.

What to do with the money?

Of course, I will continue to save the lovely alien girl.

Cheng Yu showed a funny smile on his face, thinking about buying another orc slave to help Mina reduce the workload.

"Mina, do you need to buy anything? I can buy it for you."

"I want to buy a big sword."

Mina's profession is a warrior, and warriors usually use heavy weapons such as big swords or hammers.

"Let's go to the main city tomorrow."

The goods in Bailu Town are not complete, Cheng Yu plans to go to the nearby main city to buy slaves, big swords, and some black pine nuts and wind thunder fruits needed to make black pancakes.

After breakfast, Maxi followed Austin to the woods to practice magic.

A black metal magic wand appeared out of thin air in Austin's hand, and he gathered magic power through the magic wand.

The textures in front of the black magic wand intertwined to form a circular magic circle emitting white light, and the magic circle was full of profound and dense patterns.

The next moment, a green soft light shot out from the white circular magic circle and hit a sapling.

The half-meter-tall sapling began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon grew into a nearly ten-meter-tall tree with lush branches and leaves.

"Today we practice magic to promote plant growth, you try it."

A golden magic wand appeared out of thin air in Maxi's hand, with a ruby ​​on the top. He held the long handle of the wand with both hands and used the wand to gather magic power to form a magic circle.

The magic circle took shape, and a green soft light shot out, hitting another sapling.

The sapling grew slowly, growing five or six centimeters taller.

The same kind of magic, Maxi and Austin used it, and the effect was very different.

The deeper the magician's understanding of a spell, the stronger the power released.

Seeing the magic so magical, Cheng Yu was a little envious.

This time when buying a slave, he must buy a slave with the magician profession, even if he has the magician talent.
