In the end, Meg completed the purchase task at the price of 889.
Mmm, it smells good.
"I want this paring knife." Meg gave the dwarf blacksmith a silver coin, took the shiny silver paring knife, and walked out of the blacksmith's shop in a good mood, humming a tune.
"I thought it was a big customer," the blacksmith muttered, put the silver coin in his pocket, took out the book again, and leaned against the stove to read.
Meg didn't intend to order from the blacksmith from the beginning. The craftsmanship was a bit rough, and not as good as Mobai and Lu Lu, not to mention compared to the system.
The set meal provided by the system was enough for a professional chef, let alone just for teaching.
As for teaching aids such as tables and chairs, they were also purchased from the system.
Now, he just had to wait for the teaching building to be built, put all these things in, and wait for the arrival of the students.
Meg was in a good mood, so he returned to the restaurant, looked at the small blackboard hanging at the door, and went in with the board. After a while, he came out with the board again. On it was written: Today's new item: Spicy Field Snail!
The weather was cold, and the number of customers drinking beer had decreased. Rum had become a good substitute.
However, there were few dishes in the restaurant that went with alcohol, and this spicy field snail was launched for that. It was a professional dish that went with alcohol.
Meg returned to the restaurant and looked at Anne, who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drawing. He walked forward with a smile and looked at the drawing board in front of her from the side.
The painting was very simple. There was a blue sky and white clouds, and a corner of the Aden Square. There wasn't much technique mixed in, and it made people feel relaxed. There wasn't even a clear main body. It was just sitting there and looking at the things in sight.
However, Meg felt that the painting looked very comfortable, as if the scenery was included in the painting.
Anne added the last stroke, put down the pen, and turned to look at Meg with a smile on her face.
"It's very beautiful," Meg praised with a smile.
Anne picked up a picture book from the table beside her and handed it to Meg, saying in sign language, "A new picture book."
Meg took the picture book. There was an orange swan on the picture.
The name of the book was "The Ugly Duckling".
Meg: "…"
Meg opened the picture book with mixed feelings. After a while, Meg looked at the grill on the bonfire at the end of the page and the golden roast goose dripping with oil. His throat rolled as he couldn't hold back his laughter.
This was probably a modified version of Ugly Duckling dictated by Amy. It was too tragic …
However, this story actually had a moral. Did you think that life had deceived you? Actually, that was not the case. Life was already destined. No matter how hard Ugly Duckling tried, it could only become a roast goose.
Oh, right.
In fact, the ending of the story did not turn into roast goose.
Ugly Duckling escaped with its life, and the duck that had bullied it since it was young became a roasted duck and an orange swan.
Meg looked at Ugly Duckling, which was napping on the counter, and wondered how it would feel after reading this story.
"It's … quite good." Meg nodded. If he put aside his preconceived ideas, the story of this version of Ugly Duckling was actually more twisted and fantastical. It was quite interesting.
After all, he didn't understand at first how a four-legged beast that hatched from an egg could become an orange swan that could fly in the sky.
With the addition of the two little fellows' magical imagination, the story became more childlike and interesting. The story of a little orange cat working hard to grow up, defeating a bad duck, and pursuing its dream of flying was even more inspirational.
"Is it because it can't be printed?" Anne looked at Meg with a slightly disappointed expression.
Meg smiled and said, "No, let's try to print 5,000 copies later, after the mermaid picture books are sold out."
Anne's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile.
Meg sat down opposite her and took the picture book that he had roughly flipped through just now and looked at it again.
Anne's drawing skills were still improving. Although it wasn't obvious compared to Miss Black Cat's picture book, the details were more vivid and natural.
The main characters of this story were Ugly Duckling and various small animals. It was much simpler than Miss Black Cat's complicated characters and costumes, but the outstanding details made the picture book more readable. It was easy to be touched by the various cuteness of the small animals.
Especially the little silly Ugly Duckling. Its various charmingly naive looks were perfectly presented in the picture book. It was obvious that Anne had been observing it very carefully.
"I think we can print 10,000 copies directly." Meg changed his mind. This was a picture book targeted at younger children. After it was released into the market, it might have some incredible effects.
There were more and more customers who wanted to buy the little mermaid picture book these two days. Many were even queuing up just for the picture book.
Anne had also become the idol of many little fellows. Meg often heard conversations about Anne. They were all scenes of children looking for Anne everywhere.
The little fellow had become a real artist and was loved by many people.
…
"Miss, today's 1,000 copies of the picture book are all sold out! There are customers who want to increase the price and buy the rest of the picture books from us for 3,000 copper coins. "Mara ran into the tavern and said to Ai Fei with surprise and joy.
"It's all sold out?" Ai Fei was stunned. That was 1,000 copies of the picture book! And it was sold at 2,000 copper coins per copy.
She had just received the picture book that Meg entrusted someone to send to her last night. This morning, she followed Meg's arrangement and sold it to the public at the Titan Tavern.
She didn't expect that in just half a day, the picture book that was limited to two copies per person had already been sold out.
That was a huge sum of 2,000,000 copper coins!
"Yes, there weren't many people buying at first. But after a customer bought it, he seemed to have gone somewhere to promote it. Then, a group of people came to buy it. In a short while, the 1,000 copies were sold out." Mara nodded. Her hands were still a little weak as she counted the money.
"I see." Ai Fei was deep in thought. It seemed that the value of the picture book was higher than the selling price. Otherwise, there wouldn't be people who wanted to buy it at a price of 1,000 copper coins. Moreover, they wanted to monopolize it all.
Mara looked at Ai Fei and urged, "Miss, that customer is still waiting outside. Why don't we sell the rest of the picture books to him? We can earn another 900,000 copper coins for master."
Although she wasn't very good at counting, she was still very clear about this account.
If she sold the rest of the picture books to that customer, not only would she earn more money, she would also save herself the trouble of selling it.
"Tell him that we won't sell the picture books as a package and we won't increase the price. From tomorrow onwards, each person will be limited to one copy and priority will be given to the customers who come to the tavern." Ai Fei shook her head and said.
Meg had already predicted that this would happen in the letter. He also specifically asked her not to sell the picture books as a package. The more customers, the better.
This was because this was not only an excellent picture book, but also an advertisement for the Black Cat Song Troupe.
