"Have you ever sold books?" Mag looked at the two elves with a smile and said.
The two elves were about fifteen or sixteen years old, with round and cute faces. They shook their heads with flushed cheeks.
"That's right. From today on, you are responsible for helping sell picture books. A thousand copies a day. Until sold out, I will provide you with three meals a day, and you will also receive a salary of one thousand copper coins a day. How about that?" Mai Ge said with a smile.
The taller elf's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you going to eat at Maimi's restaurant?"
"Of course, eat with us." Mag nodded with a smile.
The two elves looked at each other and said in unison: "Then we are willing!"
They have often heard Sister Phyllis say that Maimi's Restaurant is the best restaurant in the world, and the owner can cook very delicious food, but because of the high price, they have never tasted it.
The food cooked by Sister Phyllis is very delicious, but she said her cooking skills are not one ten thousandth of those of the owner of Maimi Restaurant.
It would be great if you could eat for free at Maimi's restaurant.
"I'm Mag, the owner and chef of Ma Mi Restaurant." Mag introduced herself with a smile.
"We recognize you, Mr. McGonagall." The tall elf smiled: "I am Molly, and this is my sister Eve."
"Molly, Eve, nice to meet you." Mag nodded, took out the high-profile billboard that had just been printed at the textile factory, moved a table over, and took out dozens of books from the wooden box and laid them out on the table. Come.
"There are a thousand books here, and the prices have been marked on the billboard. Your job is to deliver the books to the customers and charge one thousand copper coins. Each customer is limited to two books." Mag introduced to the two of them. road.
"Mr. Mag, we have 10,000 picture albums, why do we have to limit the purchase? Wouldn't it be better if someone is willing to buy more?" Eve asked with some confusion. Molly looked equally confused.
"Because once this picture album is sold, its real market price is far more than one thousand copper coins. If this picture album is taken to Luodu, before the news of the mass sale spreads, it can be sold for ten thousand copper coins, or even more The price is high." Mag explained with a smile: "I want more people to appreciate this album, instead of it being hoarded by a few people for profit."
"Ten thousand copper coins?!" Molly and Eve opened their mouths slightly, unable to imagine that in another place, the price of this picture album would have doubled dozens of times.
"This box is used to store money. Don't worry, the guests at Maimi's restaurant are very qualified and can definitely handle it." Mag moved a large box and placed it at their feet, and arranged two more boxes for them. Set up a high stool.
"Thank you, boss." The two little girls said with a smile.
"You guys need to get used to the working environment first, and I'll ask you to eat later." Mag said to them, then turned and entered the restaurant.
Went upstairs to change into chef clothes and started to prepare for the noon business.
"Boss, are Molly and Eve here to help sell picture albums?" Phyllis came in and looked at Mag who was tying her apron and asked.
"Yeah, we don't have enough manpower, so they brought books here. I think the little girl is quite smart, so I asked them to help." Mag nodded.
"Hoho, Annie's painting of the billboard at the door is really beautiful." Yabei Mia followed in and said with a smile, "I'm going to go upstairs and call our great painter down to take a look at her big portrait."
"Signing is a good idea." Mag nodded. This was the only way to become a best-selling cartoonist.
Drawing is a lonely thing, and it is very fulfilling to receive positive feedback from readers.
"Then I'm going." Yabei Mia ran upstairs, and soon she came downstairs holding Anne's hand, and walked toward the door with Anne, who was still a little confused.
Annie stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at herself on the tall signboard, wearing a long skirt, holding a paintbrush, and painting seriously. Her eyes widened, and she stood with her mouth slightly open, a look of shock on her face.
Next to her portrait, there are two lines of large characters:
Genius cartoonist Annie's first painted work "The Little Mermaid Story" is on sale in limited edition!
1,000 copper coins per book! ! !
"You are the genius cartoonist Annie, right? Your picture books are so beautiful." Eve looked at Annie and praised her sincerely.
Anne's throat rolled, and she recovered from the shock, and then a feeling of shame came up. However, after hearing Eve's words, she still expressed her gratitude in sign language very politely.
"Annie had a little problem with her throat, so she temporarily communicated in sign language." Mia explained helpfully with a smile.
Molly and Eve nodded suddenly.
Annie nodded to the two of them, turned around and entered the restaurant, her face flushed.
"Do you like it? The release of your first work." Mag said looking at Anne with a blushing face.
Annie looked at Mag, feeling a little shy and a little touched, but she still nodded and expressed her liking.
Hearing other people's compliments, seeing your picture books piled on the table, about to be sold to others... This feeling is very strange.
It was as if she suddenly found the reason why she wanted to do this. Sharing beautiful things with more people, wasn't this her original intention when she picked up the paintbrush?
How interesting it is to let more people hear the stories told by my father and make more people feel the warmth and love.
"I love it," Anne reiterated.
"As long as you like it, once these 10,000 copies of the picture books are sold, we will be best-selling cartoonists." Mag said with a smile, feeling equally proud of her.
As for the autograph signing, Anne refused.
The little girl is still a little shy.
However, after Mag's second thought, Anne was just starting out and people might not be willing to sign her autograph in the album, so she gave up.
As noon approaches, customers are gradually queuing up outside the restaurant.
The news of Maimi's restaurant's reopening has spread, and foodies who couldn't catch breakfast in the morning rushed there early for fear of missing lunch again.
Milo and Garland are among them.
The two people, who had been trapped in the chaotic city for many days due to the sudden war, looked much haggard.
The fine stubble on Garland's face was shaved off by himself in the hotel.
When they heard the news of the victory of the war yesterday, the two of them cried with joy in the hotel and even prepared to leave home overnight.
But they are really unwilling to make this trip in vain. After all, a new peace agreement has been signed, and Nolan Continent is about to usher in a long period of peace. The next goal of their magazine has been set: bestseller in Nolan Continent!
So the two of them planned to go to Maimi's restaurant again to see if Boss Mai was there.
The billboard at the door caught their attention. They thought it was a new dish launched by Boss Mai, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be promoting a comic book.
"Genius cartoonist Annie? I don't think I've heard of it." Milo scratched his head.
"Yes, newcomer?" Garland also shook his head.
"You don't know, but Miss Anne is Boss Mai's daughter." He thought he was a regular customer of the restaurant and said with a smile.
