I, the retired legend, were forced to go ashore

Seeing him lowering his head and covering half of his face, Ada thought something happened to him.

Fox shook his head, just about to deny it, but suddenly remembered a piece of news he had heard earlier today.

It happened that this could be used to verify the girl's relationship intelligence network.

"Miss Ada, oh..." He first sighed, glanced at the girl's hard-toed and thick-soled combat leather boots through his fingers, then closed his eyes and said, "Have you heard that His Majesty wants to increase the food supply?" The rumor of [-]% of the price?"

"Hey, you figured it out so soon?"

Ada spoke her heart out, but she immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and quickly covered her mouth.

But after thinking about it again, from the perspective of the court, it is obvious that the policy of raising food prices must be implemented by His Majesty. If it is concealed for two days, the information will expire and be useless. It is better to throw it out now for some benefits.

At least it can improve your own social status.

What's more, people already knew about it.

Thinking of this, Ada nodded, recalling the conversation heard at the court meeting, and said seriously: "I heard that His Majesty intends to increase the price by an additional [-]%, that is, Say, a total increase of [-]%."

"Twenty percent more!?" Fox repeated, but immediately shook his head and waved his hands with a smile: "This is impossible. Your Majesty hopes that all the civilians in the four provinces will become starving people, and either rebel or starve to death?"

"Then I don't know if it's true or not." Ada shrugged.

She is not sure that the old sword master really wants to implement such a policy, but seeing that he has signed an agreement with the merchant group, it should...will be implemented, right?

Do you want to stock up a little more in advance?

Thinking of this, she quickly asked: "After I join our association, can I enjoy low-cost supplier channels?"

"Where there is any special channel, it's all rumors. It's just that we all gather together to purchase, the quantity is large, and the price can be lowered."

Seeing that Ada was about to become one of his own, Fox no longer kept his secrets and told some industry insiders.

Then he took out a pipe from his pocket and gestured to the girl.

As long as you smoke, you can't smell that tempting smell, right?

Ada immediately said seriously: "You probably don't want to smoke."

"??" Fox was stunned for a moment: "This...I think..."

"No, think about it again." Ada raised a fist and squeezed it, and there was a crisp sound of knuckles moving with one hand.

Smoking is bad for your health, especially second-hand smoke.

Anyone who dares to let her inhale second-hand smoke will endanger his health.

Fox put away his pipe in embarrassment, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Uh... Although it's not yet, but because of the news that His Majesty intends to raise the price of food, a statistical purchase will be carried out today. At that time, Miss, you can Registering the goods and addresses you want to buy will definitely be much cheaper than buying them yourself."

In fact, this gathering of people was convened to deal with the increase in food prices.

"Yeah." When it came to the point, Ada nodded again and again. What she wants most now is this: "I must stock up a little more this time!"

"Yeah... I should also buy a lot, the main product is 50 barrels first... What about you?"

"Uh, uh... 5 barrels..." Ada covered her face, feeling ashamed.

The imported goods turned out to be only a fraction of others.

But she couldn't eat too much.

This gave her the feeling that she was a small guy, forced to squeeze in among a group of tycoons, wouldn't she be laughed at?

'Snapped--'

Worried, the groom waved his whip beautifully and informed the two people in the car: "Master, Miss, Emerald Night is here."

163. Simple decoration

"We are all businessmen, and we all have stores, so we take turns to choose our venues for gatherings, and there is no need to spend extra money to rent a place."

While explaining, Fox let out a long sigh of relief, and got out of the carriage first, ending this nervous and heart-pounding carriage ride.

The Emerald Night in the old town is the venue for this wine industry association meeting.

Even though they are only called 'Liquor Industry Association', they have attracted big merchants from all walks of life.

It's true that taverns and restaurants are joining in, but you also have to drink bars when you eat?Drinking for entertainment?Going to a brothel... Do you have to drink a bar?

It is more accurate to say that it is called the "Wine Industry Association" rather than the "Wine Industry Association".

It's just that the first initiators of this organization and the first group of people who joined were restaurant owners.

And now, this association, which has absorbed hundreds of various large businesses, is gradually developing towards a 'business alliance'.

At this time, there was already a long row of carriages with various costumes parked on the side of the street, crowding this not-so-broad street.

It also attracted many people to stop and watch, pointing and pointing.

Luxury cars are everywhere, there are crowds of rich people, and attendants stand beside them in order. Since ancient times, showing off wealth has been an excellent means of publicity.

This is also compensation for Emerald Night being closed today to hold a party.

"Miss Ada, this tavern has existed since the establishment of White Harbor. It has as long a history as Whitehall. It is also one of the oldest existing taverns in White Harbor. Their home is decorated with primitive simplicity and brewed by elves. Famous for its green leaf wine."

Fox and Ada walked side by side, talking without being overly courteous.

On the one hand, it would be a loss of value to do so; on the other hand, through the conversation in the car just now, he felt that the girl's remarks of "increasing the price of food by [-]%" were too exaggerated, and it was just bragging. Maybe her network did not It's as powerful as I thought.

And seeing that she had no confidence just now, and she looked half-knowledgeable, maybe she didn't know anything about the cycle of grain price fluctuations.

On the contrary, Ada doesn't like others being too polite to her, it seems very unfamiliar.

She turned to ask about the place of interest: "Elf?"

"Yes." Fox nodded his thanks to the waiter who opened the door for him, and then introduced to the girl beside him: "This tavern was opened by an Emerald Bay elf, but now his daughter is running it. "

He frowned and was a little puzzled: "I can't say that everyone knows this place in Baigang, but it can be regarded as a landmark building. Miss Ada doesn't know?"

"Cough... I don't pay much attention to this aspect..." Ada explained.

In other words, she didn't even dare to think about such expensive places.

"By the way, Mr. Fox, what's the name of the tavern you run?" Ada asked curiously.

"Firefox... the flame fox in the commercial street, don't you know this!?"

It's all up to now, this girl still doesn't know her business project, and Fox has collapsed a bit.

Firefox is not a restaurant, but more like an entertainment place that also sells alcohol. If Ada has been there, she will know that it is somewhat similar to the nightclubs of later generations.

Because of this, he needs more cool skills to sell wine, and he pays more attention to Ida's snapping finger ignition technology than others.

And this technology is more in line with his 'Firefox' title.

But now, Fox suddenly felt a little worried.

He began to doubt whether it was the right choice for him to recommend Ida and her Chimera head to join the Wine Association.

At that time, he only heard about what had happened to the Tower of Babel, and considering the miraculous finger-snapping ignition technology, he became overwhelmed and invited a few colleagues who were usually talkative to come to the door together.

But now... Maybe this lady's network is not as big as I thought, maybe the technique of snapping fingers to ignite the fire is just a trick that seems to be unsolvable at present, but after breaking the principle, it can be easily realized That's all.

Too much maybe.

No wonder that when I went to the door to formally invite Miss Ada to come over today, the previous colleagues all shirked that they had something to do and were too busy.

If this really recommends a shabby tavern to enter the association, it will be a big blow to him. Maybe he will drop from five stars to four stars in the rating at the end of the year!

Walking through the corridor of the foyer and seeing many colleagues chatting together, Fox regained his composure.

There will be no problem, and there is the Tower of Babel incident!

It can't be said that Mr. Babel, who made all the preparations, disappeared and Miss Ada returned safely, right?

He turned his head and glanced at Ada who had been following him all the time, wondering why she was so quiet all of a sudden.

Then I saw the girl staring wide-eyed, looking around for the surrounding decorations, with only two words in her eyes: Greed.

"This decoration is too exaggerated... how much does it cost, do you call this simple?"

Ada sighed and looked around, and questioned Fox.

The entire hotel is covered with precious solid wood trunks and flowers and plants, making people feel like they are in the jungle, and the branches at the ends are actually inlaid with emeralds to act as leaves.

"Primitive forest, isn't this simple enough?" Fox shrugged his shoulders, obviously the 'quaint' he said was completely different from Ada's understanding.

Seeing the undisguised greed in the girl's eyes, he hurriedly reminded: "The owner of this hotel, Mrs. Wei Wen, is a magician and high-level archer in the sixth ring. Even if you are a high-level fighter, you will never be able to defeat her." .”

"Not always."

Ada was noncommittal, looked around at the windows and vents, and had already drawn up several plans in her mind.

"Don't forget, Madam Weiwen is an elf! After years of practice, every tree in this hotel has been connected with her soul, and nothing that happens around here can escape her control!"

Fox desperately stopped the girl from doing something stupid.

Once caught, not only will she be sanctioned, but even herself who recommended her to join the association will be punished.

After hearing this, Ada became more interested in this place.

Unexpectedly, there is such a good place in Baigang City?

It can be used as a practice place to revisit the Emerald Bay Palace. Even if you have nothing to do, you can come here to practice your traditional arts as a legendary swordsman, so as not to be unfamiliar with your skills.

But of course she couldn't reveal her thoughts, and casually comforted Fox: "Don't worry, I'm a serious businessman, how can I do such a sneaky thing, I'm just surprised by the decoration of this house."

Seeing that Fox still looked at him with disbelieving eyes, Ada nodded and gave a sincere evaluation:

"The decoration style is full of trees and emeralds. It really fits the name of this restaurant. I will try to do the same in the future. Well... let the guests dine among the chimera's fangs, tongue coating and scales."

Chapter 164. True Lies

Unlike Deep Shadow, who is conservatively dressed like a forest elf with a heart of green leaves, Weiwen from Emerald Bay is no different from human beings in terms of clothing habits, and is extremely fashionable.

No, in other words, they are still half a step ahead of human beings in a sense, leading the trend in a small way.

Weaving's hair was dyed red in the middle and blue in the rest, and was pulled back in a ponytail.

On the pair of long ears, one side was pierced for three and the other was for four, and there were slender studs hanging on them. Every time they took a step, they would jingle and collide with each other, making a small sound.

She was wearing an evening gown, and the upper part of her body was exposed enough to attract all men and Ada to peep there from time to time. Three necklaces of different lengths hung down into the groove, and the light reflected from the diamond reflected the deep groove. extremely bright.

Her legs are thick at the top and thin at the bottom, which is the result of regular exercise.

"Mr. Fox, welcome, it's been a long time."

Wei Wen, the hostess of Emerald Night, walked towards the two of them clapping.

Deliberately trained, the attractive parts of the whole body will shake with every step, attracting the attention of many people.

"Mrs. Weiwen, you really still have the same demeanor."

Fox stretched out one hand and raised it to the side, bent down, and held the catkin stretched out by the Emerald Bay elf with the other hand, and brought it to his mouth, as if he wanted to perform a hand kiss.

But in the end, he just sniffed it, let go of that hand, and pretended to be intoxicated and said, "Oh~ it smells so good~"

He did enough courtesy without losing his status, and also narrowed the distance between the two of them.

"Hahahaha, you are still so playful." Fox's appearance made her cover her mouth and laugh.

Ada noticed the shallow wrinkles at the corners of the elf's eyes.

This means that she is at least two hundred years old.

Weiwen also looked at Ada, but only glanced at it briefly, then frowned and said to Fox: "This is your new maid? She looks good, but is she too bold to stand side by side with you?" And do?"

Ada's anger was immediately provoked - except for her own daughter Triss, and that stupid elf who was too lazy to die, when did she serve anyone else?

This elf lived for 200 years in vain, isn't it worth the price?

Fox quickly explained: "No, no, Mrs. Weiwen, this is Miss Ada, I told you..."

"So it's you! I heard that you are the inventor of cocktails, but I didn't expect you to be too young, right?"

Weiwen seemed to realize his mistake, but his tone was still contemptuous, with a look of contempt.

She waved back, and a waiter immediately brought a tray with two small cups filled with emerald green liquid.

"Why don't we demonstrate it live? Just ask you, the creator, to give me a review. How about my technology—"

Wei Wen said, without waiting for Ada to answer, he moved his lips slightly, reached over the cup in front of him, and snapped his fingers.

Flames immediately sprang up from the cup.
