Chapter 629: Old Peter's Perfume Shop
Maybe it was Jenn's threat that worked, and after that, those waiters never dared to make any foolish decisions in front of Jenn and the others. They respectfully invited Jenn and the others to sit down on the private seats by the wine field, and then served them fine wine and desserts. I have to admit that what the waiter said was not full of nonsense. Among other things, the unique desserts and wines are really attractive. As a city famous for its flowers, many of the food here uses flower petals as raw materials. There are not only rose pies, but also jasmine cake and flower wine made with lavender mixture. It's also a different flavor.
Although the three of them are the sons of witches, they are still girls after all, and as soon as these delicacies that look beautiful and taste very flavorful are served, they immediately forget about the previous events and begin to enjoy the food to their heart's content. Even Valrhona, who was a little depressed by Lindy's words just now, seemed to have temporarily forgotten the previous unpleasantness at this time, and took a small bite of the vanilla snack in her hand.
And when Jenn offered a platinum coin as a bounty, even the innkeeper, a fat-headed, big-eared fellow, came out to entertain them with a sweaty face and a courteous smile. You must know that although this inn has received many guests, it is extremely rare to be as generous as Jenn. Most of the places on the Klein continent are not well developed, so although Violet City produces luxury goods such as spices and perfumes, it is rare for the high-level officials of any big chamber of commerce to come here. Usually, a steward is sent to be responsible for the transportation and supervision of the goods. And Jenn is so generous, and with a maid, he doesn't look like a steward in those chambers of commerce in terms of attitude. More like an important person in a large power. If this is another large force that wants to enter Violet City, then he naturally wants to establish a good relationship.
In such a situation. Naturally, everything went smoothly for Jenn and the others to move in, not to mention that the platinum coin also played its due role. The innkeeper, who is basically synonymous with a wine barrel, not only gave up the largest guest room on the third floor of the hotel. At the same time, almost everything inside was replaced according to Jenn's request. If it weren't for Jenn following Irin and the other three maids, I'm afraid the boss would have found a few girls to serve him "from head to toe".
With money to open the way and enough deterrence, the innkeeper naturally takes care of Jenn and the others. Even when it was time for dinner, he personally brought the chef to Jenn's room and introduced Jenn to those unique and delicious dishes one by one.
"You're doing a great job."
After putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Jenn picked up the bowl in his hand and took a sip of the fish soup inside, which was delicious. It also has a faint fragrance. From this point of view, the chef here still has some ability.
"Thank you for the compliment, distinguished guest."
Hearing Jenn's words, the barrel owner's smiling eyes were about to narrow into a thin line. It's no wonder he has so much respect for Jenn. You must know that a single platinum coin is equivalent to the turnover of his inn for three full months. In other words, even if he announces the closure of his business now, he will not have to worry about anything for the next three months. Under such circumstances, it is only natural for this boss to treat Jenn as a VIP customer -- as a businessman, no one will have trouble with money, right?
"Rest assured, everything is done according to your requirements, you see. Even this cutlery was re-bought by us........."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense."
Before the keg owner could say anything more, Jenn interrupted his boast with a wave of his hand. Then he leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes at the barrel owner in front of him with interest, and asked.
"Hmm......... Tell me about Violet City. I think you're familiar with it. ”
"Oops. Guest, you're asking the right person! ”
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, the barrel owner slapped his thigh hard. It's like telling someone you've won the jackpot.
"To tell you the truth, I'm also a figure in Violet City, as long as it's a rumor in this city, there's almost nothing I don't know! As I think you know, Violet City is famous for its perfumes, and it's a veritable city of perfumes. No matter what time of year it is, you can smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers in the streets and alleys. And the perfume produced in our Violet City cannot be said to be the best on the entire continent! But in Eagle Plateau, people talk about our perfumes with a thumbs up. Especially the old Peter's perfume shop on the street in front of it is even more exquisite.................."
"Wait."
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously, and then he immediately interrupted the barrel owner's rambling words.
"What's your relationship with that old Peter's perfume shop?"
"This .................."
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, the boss couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he still hesitated and shook his head.
"No, it doesn't matter, honorable guest, we just know, we just know, we just know..............."
"Oh? Is that so? ”
Hearing his boss's answer, Jenn narrowed his eyes, and then he crossed his hands on his chest, staring at the boss with a smile.
"That's interesting, we seem to have heard something similar from the waiter in your shop just now, and he is a great person who recommends that if we want to buy perfume, we should go to Old Peter's perfume shop............"
"This, this ..............."
In the face of Jenn's words, the barrel owner was obviously also a little flustered, he hesitated for a moment, then wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then sighed helplessly.
"Alas......... Since you have noticed it, I will not hide it from you. But I assure you that we don't recommend you to Old Peter's Perfume to hurt you, but to help. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? ”
"That's ..............."
Hearing Jenn's tone loosen somewhat, the sweaty barrel boss who was still nervous just now was also relieved, and then hurriedly spoke.
"Old Peter's perfume shop is a very famous old brand in Violet City, Old Peter is also a good person, and his craftsmanship is also good, and the perfume he makes is really good. I really didn't lie to you, guest. You can go to the neighborhood and ask around, as long as you mention the skills of Old Peter's perfume shop, there is no one who does not praise him! ”
"Since he's so famous, you shouldn't need to advertise him."
Jenn only half believed the barrel owner's words. After all, from the way they looked at it, the old Peter's perfume shop was not what the barrel owner said. Otherwise, why would these people try their best to pull business for each other? Of course, Jenn was sure that the keg owner wasn't entirely lying, but there must be something wrong with that.
"This ......... That's what I said........."
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, the barrel owner finally couldn't hide it anymore, and in the end, he sighed helplessly.
"Actually, now the old Peter's perfume shop is about to close, we have been neighbors for so many years, and the old Peter has always been very nice, so we want to help him, give him some business or something."
"So, what the hell is going on?"
Hearing this, Jenn felt more and more interesting. After all, the barrel owner also introduced to him that the technology of Old Peter's perfume shop can also rank among the top three in Violet City, and it stands to reason that such a store should not worry about no business. But now they are asked to help attract business, which means that this perfume shop is almost impossible to operate, isn't it a contradiction?
"This, in fact, ..............."
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, the barrel owner hesitated for a moment, probably thinking that the matter was already like this, and it was better to say it directly. So he didn't hesitate any longer, but quickly gave an answer.
"Actually, dear guest. Now it's not that no one comes to Old Peter's perfume shop, it's that no one dares to come to the door. ”
Saying this, the boss gritted his teeth, and then he glanced left and right, and then came to Jenn's side and said to him in a low voice.
"In fact, it's about the Templar Order........."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn was genuinely interested.
According to the barrel owner, Old Peter's Perfume Shop has indeed been doing good business, but unfortunately, the sky is unpredictable, and a few days ago, Old Peter's Perfume Shop had friction with the largest family in Violet City, the Count of Violet, because of some things. In fact, the whole thing is simple, the son of the Count of Violet took a fancy to the daughter of old Peter and wanted to marry her. But old Peter didn't have a good impression of the rumored young man, so he rejected the other party's proposal. Shortly thereafter, Old Peter's perfume shop was inspected by the Temple of the Harvest for violating the teachings of the Templar Order, and although nothing came of it, Old Peter was placed under house arrest for the time being. And the business dealings of the old Peter's perfume shop were also interrupted. In fact, many people know very well that the sudden attack of the Harvest God Temple is definitely related to Count Violet. But they are soft-spoken, and there is nothing they can do about it. Most of the people who had been doing business with Peter Sr. were afraid of the Templar Order, so they didn't dare to do business with Peter Sr. Because of this, the old Peter's perfume shop, which has lost its business, is now getting worse day by day. This also made many of his friends anxious, and this barrel owner was naturally one of them. That's why he paid attention to those outsiders, especially someone like Jenn who was generous and seemed to have an extraordinary background. Even if there is any conflict with Count Violet, it is estimated that there will be no trouble. And in the eyes of the barrel owner, if Jenn can take a fancy to Old Peter's perfume-making skills, then it is a good thing anyway, isn't it?
Unfortunately, it seems that this is not very promising now.
"Hmm......... It's funny. ”
Hearing the barrel owner's confession, Jenn thought for a moment, and then, he smiled slightly.
"Well, then, let's go to Old Peter's perfume shop tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
