"Hmm?"
Meg's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there would be two breeding crayfish among the crayfish caught by the demon fishermen. It was a pleasant surprise.
The most crucial part of the crayfish catching mission was to catch the 100 breeding crayfish. If they could catch all the breeding crayfish in advance, they wouldn't need to catch all 300,000 crayfish to complete the mission.
"I will purchase the crayfish at 50 copper coins per crayfish long-term. If you catch any crayfish, send them directly to my restaurant. I will purchase them at 8 am and 4: 30 pm every day. I won't accept them at any other time. The address of the restaurant …"
Meg told the fishermen the location of the restaurant. Considering the time and effort required to go back and forth to the port to purchase the crayfish every day, he decided to let the fishermen deliver the crayfish themselves.
The fishermen didn't have any objections to this. After receiving the money, they only wanted to hurry to the beach to continue looking for crayfish. The price of 50 copper coins per crayfish was enough to make the fishermen go crazy.
Meg found a tall and strong demon to help carry the 300 plus crayfish back. He only needed to pay 20 copper coins.
Irina looked at Meg, who was pouring the crayfish into the big pond at the corner of the courtyard, and asked, "Are you going to start selling crayfish at noon today?"
"Yes. I reckon there will be an endless stream of crayfish coming. If we don't do it now, we won't be able to hold it." Meg nodded. 300 crayfish occupied half of the pond. After all, each crayfish weighed two catties.
"Can you handle it by yourself?" Irina was a little doubtful. After all, there were so many waiters at Mamy's.
"That's a problem." Meg was slightly taken aback as he looked at Irina.
"I have never served anyone before. I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist taking action once they open their mouth." Irina said calmly, "But if you think I can, I don't mind giving it a try."
"Forget it. You can just be the lady boss who collects money." Meg quickly rejected. With Irina's temper, if she were to take action, the restaurant would most likely be stained with blood, and the business wouldn't be able to continue.
"Eh, what's that?" Amy, who was running around in the courtyard with Ugly Duckling, suddenly pointed to a rock garden in another corner of the courtyard.
Meg and Irina looked over at the same time, and the corner of their clothes that was exposed from behind the rock immediately shrank back.
"Come out." Irina ordered coldly.
After a moment of silence, a thin and weak figure stood up from the rockery. He was wearing a tattered black gown, and his face was covered with an irregular piece of black cloth. His clothes were stained with blood, and his hands were covered with mud. He was holding a sharp stone, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
"She is?" Meg looked at the single-horned Demon girl, feeling that she was a little familiar.
"What are you doing here?" Irina coldly asked as she looked at the single-horned demon. Her gaze was also somewhat surprised. Wasn't this the demon girl she had coincidentally saved in the morning?
Jane looked at Irina, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by amazement. What a beautiful demoness. She had never seen such a beautiful demon before. Even the most beautiful succubus wasn't one-tenth as beautiful as this big sister.
However, she quickly came back to her senses and realized her current situation. Barging into someone else's house was punishable by death on Carapace Island. The Ten Kings Palace wouldn't care about the life and death of someone like her who had no status and wasn't from a powerful tribe.
After the incident in the morning, she had been running around in a panic. When she reached the vicinity, she happened to meet the Ten Kings Palace's patrol team. In her panic, she hid in the courtyard. She had planned to leave immediately after the patrol team left, but she did not expect the owner of the house to return and discover her.
"I … I am Jane, a single-horned demon. I accidentally barged into your courtyard and offended you. I promise I have no ill intentions, please forgive my sins," Jane said as she lowered her head. The rock in her hand was still tightly clenched. If someone wanted to kill her, she had to at least put up a fight.
"You killed the demons?" Irina looked at her and asked coldly.
"I … I didn't …" Jane's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Irina's cold gaze, shook her head, and said with a sobbing tone, "I didn't kill them. They wanted to violate me. I don't know who killed them. I didn't see his face, but I am very grateful to him. He saved me."
"It's her?" Meg then recalled that this demon girl was the one that Irina saved in the morning. However, he only took a quick glance at her in the morning and didn't take a closer look. He didn't expect to see her again at home.
"Is killing a few demon scum something to be alarmed about? So what if you killed them? " A smile appeared on Irina's face as she looked at Jane with interest. This little girl was rather interesting. Although she was pitifully weak, she wasn't an ungrateful demon.
"But … but they all had protective amulets on them. If the Ten Kings Palace found out, they wouldn't let me off … even if I didn't kill them," Jane said fearfully. To her, the Ten Kings Palace was the most terrifying and powerful force in this world.
"A bastard protected by a bastard. So what if you killed them?" Irina shook her head. She looked at Jane and said, "Take off the cloth on your face and let me see."
Jane wasn't used to Irina's words. The Ten Kings Palace was the absolute ruler of Carapace Island, but this beautiful big sister wasn't afraid of them at all. However, she had an inexplicable sense of trust when she looked at Irina. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take off the rags tied around her face.
Her face was covered in blood, and there were a few small wounds, but one could still see her delicate facial features. Her medium-length silver-gray hair was also covered in blood, and there was a light golden horn in the middle of her forehead. It was about five centimeters long, and there was a golden pink spiral on it. It looked very delicate.
"How old are you?" Irina asked.
"Thirteen."
"Is there anyone else at home?"
"My mother passed away ten days ago … I don't have any relatives …"
"Are you nimble?"
"I'm very fast at picking up seashells. Faster than anyone else."
Irina nodded in satisfaction. Then, she said, "Very good. Then you can stay. From today onwards, you're an employee of our restaurant. We'll let you stay here, give you food, and pay you a salary."
"Hmm?"
Jane and Meg were both stunned.
"Stay? Let me stay, and even give me food and a salary? " Jane looked at Irina and felt that she had heard wrongly. Not only was this beautiful big sister not going to pursue her mistake of intruding into their house, she was even going to take her in?
"You're done with the recruitment just like that?" Meg was also secretly speechless. As the boss, he didn't even have the chance to interrupt. His authority to speak had really dropped drastically.
"That's great. Then I have another big sister," Amy said happily.
