Chapter 35 The two heads of family who visited in secret
“Why hasn’t Catherine come back yet?”
Listening to the guard talking about lunch, Brand felt his empty stomach and couldn’t help but think of going to give it to him. He prepares lunch for Catherine.
——If you calculate the time, Catherine should be back long before the interview begins.
Just when Brand was about to ask someone to take a look in the kitchen.
There was a sound of running outside the door, and then the voice of Catherine panting slightly:
"Open the door, I am Catherine."
After the guard opened the door, the "traveled" Catherine was holding the food box. Came in.
After placing the food box in front of Brand, Catherine whispered with red eyes:
"Master, I used the power of the Great Knight to snatch away what I carefully prepared for you. lunch. Then let me tell you that half of the vegetables we worked hard to grow in the medicine garden will be used to pay taxes!”
"What!?"
After hearing Catherine's words, Brand's expression changed first, and then he asked with some confusion: "What is the power of the Great Knight?"
Although Brand The focus of attention is a bit strange, but Catherine patiently explained for Brand:
“It’s the kind where I can’t move, but he can. No, it’s not that I can’t move, it’s just that he moves very slowly. ..."
At the end of the sentence, Catherine herself was a little confused.
Brand listened to the general idea, and then comforted:
"It's okay, the old man is so shameless, doesn't that mean that Catherine's cooking skills have reached the pinnacle!"
"But he made you hungry, young master, and you have to pay taxes!"
Katherine still looked unhappy.
"Then you practice hard and beat him up in the future!"
Brand waved his hand casually, then focused on the lunch in front of him.
In his opinion, apart from the fact that he was stealing his lunch, he was a little unhappy.
It’s a trivial matter to pay half of it for tax or something!
As long as it does not affect his daily "quality of life"!
And the seasonings and other things were originally meant to be watched by Mr. Holland.
Otherwise, it would not be planted in the most advanced medicinal gardens of sensitive families.
I believe Mr. Holland can understand what he means.
“That’s right!”
My eyes accidentally glanced at the interview registration form in front of me, and then at Catherine who was still slightly angry.
Brand suddenly had a brilliant idea!
"Catherine, I have a very important task for you!"
......
Afternoon.
Brand’s original seat was replaced by someone else.
——Katherine with an expressionless and serious face!
After the new interviewer followed the guard's guidance and sat down in his seat.
She did not pay attention to the interviewer Catherine in front of her who had been "staring" at her.
But "can't help but" glance around.
Because I didn’t see the figure who was “thinking about it day and night”.
She looked confused.
At this time, I heard Catherine say expressionlessly:
"Tug away, next one."
After leaving the troublesome task of recruiting employees to Catherine, Brand felt at ease again. .
Back in his room, he lay on the animal skin bed with a comfortable look on his face, and covered himself with a quilt. Brand's mind entered a meditative state.
——The topmost floor of a skyscraper.
The original cement floor was quickly covered with a wooden floor with a rose pattern when Brand arrived. All kinds of modern furniture were "plucked out of the ground" in an orderly manner with Brand as the center, from near to far. rise".
As Brand slowly fell back, a soft and comfortable bed caught his body firmly.
After that, as the ceiling quickly "closed", the original skyscraper was already one floor higher than before!
Feel the soft touch that surrounds your body.
Brand couldn't help sighing:
It is more comfortable to live in the simulation world!
After returning to his home castle from the Mage Academy.
In order to improve his living standard in the Farnes continent.
Brand is in "high-intensity" "work" every day.
First, he kept absorbing the magic power in the magic core, and then in order to manifest something, Brand kept putting himself in a cycle of mental energy consumption - recovery - consumption.
Recalling this period of time, Brand could not help but be moved by his "efforts" and "hard work"!
……
The main hall of Holland Castle.
Mr. Holland welcomed Andy and Finn with joy.
As soon as they met, Mr. Holland apologized gracefully:
"I'm sorry! In order to prepare a 'special' delicacy for the guests, the lunch time was slightly delayed. I hope the guests will not be offended. What's next? Lunch will definitely not disappoint you!”
Hearing what Mr. Holland said so clearly, Andy and Finn naturally sat down at the dining table with great expectations.
Since the condiments sent by Brand ran out, they have been eating "dry rice" for a long time!
Then, the servants put the dishes with rich fragrance on their plates.
Their eyes were gradually filled with shock and desire!
These foods?
It seems to be much more delicious than the dishes they make at home with those condiments!
After eating in silence for a while, the two parties were ready to continue the business that they had not finished talking about in the morning!
While the waiting servants were already clearing away the dishes, Mr. Holland made a preemptive strike.
I just heard him say with a look of regret:
"I have to tell you two bad news."
After folding the napkin in his hand and putting it on the servant's plate, Mr. Holander continued:
“I just went to the Holander family’s secret warehouse to take a look, and I found that there were not many spices left in the stock. According to the guard, Brand has been doing it every day since he came back from vacation. We will go to the secret warehouse to get a lot, and the current surplus is completely insufficient for us to continue the negotiated purchase transaction."
Hearing such "bad news", Finn first said with a look of shock. ：
"Brand can actually enter the Holland family's secret vault? I can't even enter my family's secret vault!"
As for Finn's strange focus, Andy wanted to rush forward and punch him.
But the "light sadness" in my heart still prevailed.
I saw him gently rubbing his forehead and saying with a decadent look: "How could Brand do this!"
At this time, Mr. Holland smiled elegantly and sighed. Road:
"Let's put Brand's issue aside for now. It is always an issue on the Holander family's side. As the head of the family representing the Holander family, I will not give up the promise I made easily!"
Facing the two people’s dejected looks with a hint of inquiry, Mr. Holland continued:
“I hope that while the purchase price remains unchanged, the purchase items will be changed to: those seasoning plants. , seeds, and planting techniques! But I hope to get the guarantee from the Cecil family and the Claude family that they will not be spread out or used for commercial operations."
With Mr. Holland. Proposing an extremely "beneficial" purchasing method, Andy and Finn's eyes rekindled a fiery divine light...
Actually, what they don't know yet is:
As an ordinary plant, no matter how delicious it is, it is not as expensive as a magic seasoning, and its value is just that.
Compared with the "sincerity" they sent, what Mr. Holland sent was "barely" equivalent.
When Andy and Finn happily left Holland Castle with two wagons full of plants.
Master Holland welcomed two new secret guests at the castle gate.
——The head of the Claude family, and the head of the Cecil family.
After meeting Mr. Holland, the two old men performed an elegant hat-taking ceremony...
