In the early morning, when the sky was dim, Ma Wei yawned and walked out of the store, holding a small blackboard in his hand with today's limited edition potion written on it.
Just like yesterday, there are still the three most popular items: Blood of Mercury, Toast of Sleep, and the Stick of Hercules. If they were all sold out yesterday, they would definitely have to replace the items today, but only a small half of them were sold yesterday...
Ma Wei doesn't like waste, so he plans to sell it for another day and launch new products the day after tomorrow.
Why the day after tomorrow?
Because tomorrow is January 1st, New Year's Day, a legal holiday.
Not many shops were still open on the last day of the new year. Ma Wei felt that he was already very dedicated. If he hadn't forgotten to close the window last night and woke him up from the cold in the morning, he would have had to sleep in today.
"dad..."
Wearing a white nightgown, Yunia walked down the stairs, rubbing her eyes as if she hadn't woken up: "Uncle Felix and Uncle Jonas just went out..."
With the letter from the heart of the jungle, you don't need to use your legs at all to walk, and you don't have to walk through the main entrance. In a flash, you are 3 kilometers away. There is no more convenient transportation method than this.
He went out early in the morning, probably to find the target of the witcher. As for why he took Daniel with him... Ma Wei didn't know, maybe he asked Daniel to help him for reference.
Yannick was looking at the store in the lobby, and Mavey walked into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. It had been a long time since he had cooked by himself, especially after he became the pope. He rarely even went into the kitchen. Every day, someone would prepare breakfast for him. Come, hold out your hand, open your mouth...the main purpose is to enjoy.
That being said, one should cook, and one should not be arrogant or extravagant. If even he was corrupted by the evil aristocratic life, wouldn't the monks and believers below be rotten to the core?
After cleaning out the coal ashes burned last night, Ma Wei added charcoal to the stove and picked up a rag to wipe away the dust scattered in the kitchen. The most common wall-mounted charcoal stove in Windsor Kingdom homes is so inconvenient. Before going to bed at night The burned charcoal will be extinguished before morning, and people will be woken up by the cold wind.
Next is the kitchen, which is the hardest-hit area. Ventilation is needed for burning charcoal, so the windows should be opened to prevent poisoning. The wind blows all night, and the charcoal ash in the stove will be blown all over the kitchen. Why do Windsor people like to clean up the cups and dishes? Undercut?
I'm just afraid of charcoal ash falling into it.
When he was in New Ross City, Mavey also used this kind of wall-mounted carbon stove at home, but Mrs. Cecil was there at that time, so he didn't have to worry about cleaning. Now that Mrs. Cecil is gone, Mavey has not hired employees in the short term. The idea is that you can only do it yourself.
It is unrealistic to expect Lai Wen and Daniel to do such menial work. One is the arrogant and domineering Rose Phantom Thief, and the other is the First Crown Prince. How can they do housework?
In contrast, Mavey, who had served in the Royal Navy, turned out to be the most hard-working person.
I really need to hire a live-in maid...
After cleaning, Mawei took a pot of water and put it on the stove to burn. The wall-mounted charcoal stove is a composite kitchen appliance that integrates stove, heating, and oven. In addition to being difficult to clean up dust, it is quite convenient in other aspects.
"Yunia, what do you want to eat in the morning?" Mawei asked Yunia who was sitting at the dining table playing with a bear doll.
"Meat!"
"Pea soup, right? No problem."
Mavey took out two cans of peas from the cabinet above his head, opened them and poured them into the pan. Yunia looked at him with a frown, and she became happy until he cut a few pieces of Bayonne ham and put them into the pan.
The breakfast is not rich, with fried eggs, pea and ham soup, bacon, and bread with jam, which is almost a middle-class breakfast. The breakfast of ordinary workers only has oatmeal and a large piece of buttered bread, maybe with a hard-boiled egg. , but this is London, and workers’ wages are generally higher than in other areas. It’s not difficult to see meaty breakfast.
After boiling the water, Ma Wei made a pot of black tea, picked up the Times Morning News that had just been delivered, and started reading slowly.
Just after watching it for a while, suddenly a bell rang outside the door, and a customer entered the store.
Putting down the newspaper, Mavey walked out of the kitchen and found that the person who came was Nick, the butler of Prince Charles.
"Good morning, Mr. Nicholas."
Taking off his hat, the butler elegantly saluted Ma Wei: "His Royal Highness the Prince invites you to attend a banquet at Regent Park No. 3 at 8 o'clock tonight to welcome the New Year."
With that said, the butler handed over a white invitation embroidered with gold patterns with both hands, which was grand and formal.
It seems that last night's performance paid off...
"Okay, I will definitely attend on time." Ma Wei said after taking the invitation.
"His Highness said, please be sure to bring your family with you."
The butler left, and his last words were quite meaningful. The eldest prince Charles asked Ma Wei to bring his family. Who did he want to see?
High probability....
It's a communication.
"The eldest prince is indeed a born politician. I wonder what Felix would think if he knew about this..."
Shaking his head, Ma Wei was about to go back to the kitchen to continue enjoying breakfast when someone came to the store again.
The person who came this time was the housekeeper of the second prince Shukri.
"Mr. Nicholas, His Royal Highness the Second Prince invites you to attend a dinner at Regent's Park Residence No. 4 at 8 o'clock tonight."
Invitations of the same format, with the same invitation words, the only difference is the host behind them.
By the way, do people with such a distinguished status as a prince like to buy a house in Regent's Park?
Even the dinner time is the same....
"Okay, I will attend on time."
Ma Wei accepted the invitation again. Although there was a conflict in time, it did not mean that he could not attend two banquets at the same time. Who doesn’t understand the principle of shopping around?
"Except for the invitations..." The second prince's butler did not leave immediately after delivering the invitations, but said: "I also want to buy Mrs. Mel's Sleeping Toast. How many portions are left in total?"
Sleepy Toast sold 2 copies yesterday, and today is also yesterday's inventory. By tomorrow, the toast may have expired, so it is best to sell it all at once.
"There are 8 servings left." Ma Wei said truthfully.
The butler took out a checkbook, filled in the figure of 80 gold pounds in the blank space, tore it out and handed it to Ma Wei: "I want them all."
The cashier's check issued by the London bank was genuine, and it was impossible for the second prince to use this kind of thing to deceive others. Ma Wei put away the check and said to Edward: "Wrap all the sleeping toast."
"Yes, sir."
Edward pulled out the oil paper bag from under the counter, walked to the display window, packed the toasts inside one by one, and handed them to the butler. After checking that they were all correct, the butler walked out of the shop, boarded the carriage, and left quickly.
"Sleepy Toast is really popular. It seems that it can be sold as a main product in the future."
Ma Wei was not surprised that the Sleeping Toast was sold out. This was one of his main products. Compared with non-daily potions such as the blood of mercury and the stick of Hercules, the Sleeping Toast was the most suitable. Commonly consumed by nobles.
"Aren't you afraid that they will become addicted?" Edward asked.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Ma Wei said disapprovingly: "The realm of immortality is not a decoration. Sleeping toast cannot harm them. These nobles should worry about the price, not the side effects."
Just as Edward was about to speak, he suddenly frowned and looked out the window: "There's someone here again."
The third carriage stopped on the street, and another middle-aged man who looked like a butler stepped down and walked into the store. This time, before he could speak, Ma Wei asked: "Who is your master?"
"The third prince of the Kingdom of Windsor, Andrew, Duke of York."
The title of Duke of York was originally supposed to be awarded to the second prince, but because the second son of the previous king was still alive, the second prince Shukri was awarded the title of Duke of Oxford. When the third prince was born, the second son of the previous king was , that is, the previous Duke of York passed away, so the vacant title of Duke of York was given to the third prince by Rhodes IV.
Under normal circumstances, you can know which prince has the highest status from the title. The eldest prince, Charles, Duke of Wales, also known as the prince, is the first heir to the throne. The Duke of York also has the title of prince. Only members of the royal family can be awarded the title. The second to the throne Successor...
】
However, in the generation of Rhodes IV, there was a situation where the previous Duke of York was still alive, so the title of Duke of York was postponed by one, and became the title of the third prince.
The title of Duke of Ross given to Arthur was not a title given to a member of the royal family at all. It was a title made up by Rhodes IV to perfunctory him. It had never appeared before.
Among the four sons, King Rhodes IV’s favorite was actually not the eldest prince Charles, nor the second prince Shukri, but the third prince Andrew. The name Andrew means strong, masculine, and brave, and the name Rhodes There are different approaches but the same effect.
Rhodes IV, the current king, Rhodes Windsor, his name comes from the ancient Windsor language. Rhodes can also be translated as Luther or luther, which means an outstanding warrior.
This name was given because when Rhodes IV was born, it happened to be during the period of Napoleon Bonaparte decades ago. At that time, Napoleon was sweeping across the Central Continent and it was difficult to find an opponent. It took the most outstanding warriors to defeat him. The old king I hope that Rhodes IV can inherit this good wish, so he was named Rhodes.
What does the greatest warrior need?
Courage, strength.
Andrew is the child who most resembles Rhodes IV, and Rhodes IV also loves him the most. If the eldest prince Charles hadn't been born early...
Marvey doubted that King Rhodes would give Andrew the title of Duke of Wales.
"My Royal Highness invites you to attend a banquet at Regent's Park Residence No. 5 at 8 o'clock tonight."
Under Ma Wei's slightly strange gaze, the butler took out an all-too-familiar invitation: "You must attend."
"....Okay, I'll try my best."
Attending three banquets at the same time?
To be honest, it's a bit difficult, but Mavi plans to give it a try.
