"Hey, as I'm walking along, why do I feel like there are people around me who are hostile? Do I have an illusion here?"
Time flies and comes to July 6th, the last day before the birthday celebration begins.
While walking on the road today, Nalant always felt that there was something wrong with the looks from the noble young people passing by him.
The look in his eyes was a little complicated, and seemed to be mixed... mixed with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
That's right, just envious, jealous and hateful!
This puzzled Nalant, who had been practicing hard in the small building for several days.
"Is it because I make so much money with shaved ice? So they are jealous?"
"But shouldn't they thank me for bringing them such cheap and delicious shaved ice? It's true that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be!"
Nalant shook his head. He felt that he was a small knight, and it was only this that could arouse everyone's jealousy.
These days, the shaved ice stall in Nalant is packed every day. Even though the price was increased by ten copper coins in the next few days, the crowd still didn't decrease.
On the contrary, as nobles from all over the principality arrived one after another, sales increased slightly.
Such hot sales also made me sick of Aldin and Nalant making a lot of money.
After calculation, the number of shaved ice he sold on the first day reached an astonishing number of more than 2,600 bowls, which was more than double the number of all the nobles in the entire Tulip Territory combined.
Of course, there are only so many noble titles, but each noble also has family members, or some nobles simply eat two or three bowls of them in one go.
In this way, he has shaved ice to sell such an amazing amount.
In the end, the number of cents Nalant earned on the first day reached nearly eleven gold coins.
As for the sales volume in the next few days, it basically remained at around 2,780.
And because they were all sold at a price of fifty copper coins per bowl, he received twelve or thirteen gold coins every day.
This speed of making money really made Narante happy.
Of course, some are happy and some are sad. Nalant is happy, but Aldin is drunk on the northwest wind.
Even though Aldin followed Nalant's example and cut prices, and even made pirated versions of shaved ice, he still couldn't save his ice shop.
Because Alding’s shaved ice lacks one of the most important things…sugar!
Without the blessing of white sugar, Aldine would lose its soul if it had shaved ice. It would be as effective as roasting oysters without minced garlic or eating hot pot without adding red oil.
After thinking wildly in his mind for a moment, Nalant gave up his thoughts. He hated him, but I made a fortune in silence!
Next, Nalant went directly towards the Sapphire Treasure Shop.
He made an agreement with the Raziel craftsman to pick up the goods today.
"Your honorable sir, welcome to the Sapphire Treasure Shop. I wonder what I can do for you!"
Stepping into Sapphire Treasures Shop, the service level is still superb.
"Last time, I ordered something custom-made from Raziel Craftsman here, and I came to pick it up today.
"Yes, sir, please come upstairs!"
Soon, Nalant arrived on the second floor, and the maid notified Artisan Raziel.
"Lord Narant! You are here!" Raziel came to Nalant without letting him wait for a long time.
"Razelle, I have a perfume bottle, how is it going?"
"Lord Nalant, you came at a good time. I just completed the production this morning. I hope you are satisfied!"
With that said, Raziel handed over an exquisite wooden box.
Narant took the wooden box over, and as the lid of the wooden box opened, a ray of light immediately bloomed from the wooden box.
"His! It's indeed a craftsman worthy of being a master. I only had an idea, but the details are so perfect!"
I saw that the originally bare luminous beads about the size of half an egg had completely changed their appearance.
The inside of this luminous bead is completely hollowed out, and the outside is even more exquisitely designed with hollows. The entire luminous bead actually turns into a hollow flower ball.
One after another, lifelike tulip flowers bloom on the surface of luminous beads.
As for the luminous bead, there is a silver liner, which is close to the inner wall of the luminous bead, with a very small gap.
This greatly increases the capacity of the perfume bottle.
Narant didn't know how Raziel's silver liner could be enlarged, but it was extremely difficult to imagine.
After all, the opening of the luminous beads is very small, and the inner bladder is obviously trying to expand after being put in.
The lid of the luminous pearl perfume bottle is equally ingenious.
The silver cover looks like a bouquet of flowers, inlaid with five or six luminous beads of different sizes.
The one in the center is the size of a longan, which makes it easier to open and hold the lid.
There are several peanut-sized ones around for decoration.
These luminous beads are also decorated with extraordinary carvings, such as tulips, roses, lilies, etc. Each luminous bead has a unique flower bone.
"Lord Narant, I wonder if you are satisfied?" Raziel looked at Narant and asked in a low voice.
"Satisfied, Craftsman Raziel, you are worthy of the name of a master!"
"Thank you Lord Nalant for the compliment!" Raziel also beamed, "To be honest, this is one of my most satisfying works in recent years. I hope he can win Miss Stella's favor for you!"
"Haha!" Nalant did not answer the next sentence and directly took out the gold and silver coins from the money bag. "Razier, here are the five gold coins and the fifteen silver coins as an additional reward from me!"
"Thank you Lord Nalant for your generosity!" Raziel smiled even more. There was an additional reward of fifteen silver coins, which is not a small sum.
After paying his wages, Nalant left the manor directly without staying in the Treasure Pavilion!
"With such an exquisite perfume bottle, if you add perfume, it's not an exaggeration to say it's worth sixty or seventy gold coins!" After leaving the manor, looking at the exquisite wooden box in his hand, Nalant wondered whether he could perform it at the birthday party. "Excellent" is a little more confident.
No matter what, he has tried his best.
If there were other second sons who were more dazzling than him in the end, then he would have nothing to say.
"Now that the gifts are finished, it's time to go and see my sister!" Narant wanted to go and see his sister a few days ago. After all, even Andrew and others have seen it. This is the best for the original owner. I definitely want to meet my sister if she has one.
However, Nalant learned from Andrew that Nasia had gone to actual combat outside the city under the leadership of her mentor these days, so she was not in the academy.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the birthday celebration, so the noble children of Nasia will also return today.
…
"Nasia! Are you going? Tafi and the others are already urging you. If you don't go, I'm worried that they will say bad things about you behind your back!"
At Tulip City Noble Academy, Nasia sat cross-legged on the bed meditating, while her classmate and friend Betty hurried to the room and asked.
"Betty, I'm not going! My banquet dress is still brand new, so there's no need to buy another one. Just go with them!" Nasia opened her eyes after hearing this and shook her head slowly.
