Chapter 47, the first transaction (medium)
Walking into the castle and seeing the welcome banquet prepared in the hall, old Zabini came back to his senses.
"Huh? Yes... Dear Lords! Thank you for the grand welcome! Let me once again extend my sincerest greetings! ”
Old Zabini realized that he had walked to the table before he remembered to salute Klose.
Our little lord smiled gentlemanly and shook his head, "President Zabini, this is what I should do as a host, I hope you can enjoy it." ”
"Uh... Like! Like! Very grand! ”
Old Zabini has galloped past countless grass and mud horses in his heart, what kind of welcome ceremony is this Nima? It's the first time I've encountered Lao Tzu in my life!
Of course, he only dared to think about this in his heart, saying that he would never dare to say it.
"President Zabini, please be seated!"
At Klose's beckoning, the elder sat down on the chair closest to the little lord.
"President Zabini, you have come all the way from afar, and you have been tired of traveling, so let's eat first and then get down to business."
Klose slapped his hands twice after speaking, and several maids pushing food carts had already walked out of the kitchen and began to serve food to everyone.
Old Zabini actually wanted to get down to business before eating, and he was frightened just now, who has the appetite to eat right away?
But when the words came to his lips, old Zabini was attracted by the dishes on the table!
To say that as the president of the Capybara Chamber of Commerce, he has traveled all year round, what food has he not tasted?
But he basically couldn't name the food on the table in front of him! Not to mention eating!
"President Zabini, let me introduce you to this dish, which is unique to our Eagle Stream Canyon, sauce elbow!
There is also this, braised pork, crispy chicken, braised fish. Kindness... Has anyone seen this? Sweet potato and pineapple rice...."
Klose gushed about the names of these dishes, and everyone in the Capybara Chamber of Commerce was obviously stunned!
These delicacies... It looks like it's all the color and flavor, I don't know how to eat it....
Next to the elder, his unpromising little son took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and had already secretly pinched a piece of crystal meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Huh!? Delicious! ”
This guy couldn't help but scream directly.
Old Zabini's face was a shame... How did you give birth to such a shameful thing!? The owner hasn't finished the introduction, so you're eating it here!?
And this host is still a nobleman! A lord with real power!
Klose didn't care, he laughed and said: "Hahaha~ That dish is called 'Crystal Guyu Meat', this dish can be regarded as a classic dish of our Magic Eagle Castle!" This dish is not only attractive in color, but also the juice will overflow in the mouth after biting, and the sweet and sour taste will melt on the tip of the tongue for a long time.... Come on, come on, President Zabini will taste it too! ”
Klose picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of it on the plate in front of the old Zabini, which flattered the latter and thanked him repeatedly.
However, old Zabini was instantly attracted by the two stick-like things in Klose's hand.
"Uh.... My lord, what are you holding....? ”
Klose glanced at it and said with a smile: "Oh~ This is called 'chopsticks', which is a dining tool I invented!" You see, it's used this way..."
Klose said and easily picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, and the old Zabini was dumbfounded.
"Wow... It's amazing! ”
Zabini also picked up a pair of chopsticks, but he couldn't even figure out how to hold them, let alone pick up the dishes.
"Hehehe~ President Zabini, the use of chopsticks is a process where practice makes perfect, today I have prepared knives and forks for you, we will still use which one!"
Seeing the guests poke their food all over the table with chopsticks, Klose amusedly stopped them.
"Serve!"
After three rounds of cooking, Klose ordered the maid to pour a glass of red wine for everyone.
"Come, welcome our new friends! Let's raise a glass! For the sake of friendship! ”
I've never seen chopsticks, but the etiquette of drinking is similar all over the world.
These people in the Chamber of Commerce were finally not as restrained as they had just been, and they all raised their glasses in response to Klose's speech.
"Cheers~~!"
For strangers who meet for the first time and have dinner, how can you shorten the distance as quickly as possible?
That's drinking, of course!
As long as a few bottles of wine are in the stomach, even first-time people can hook up their shoulders and call them brothers.
It's like finding a loved one you've been separated from for a long time.
And Klose is like that!
After a few bottles of wine, our little lord had long since thrown those rituals taught by Jessica into the clouds.
He is now holding the shoulders of old Zabini and urging him to drink, and he is a drunkard alive!
Needless to say, in the end, almost none of these people from the Capybara Chamber of Commerce were still standing after the banquet...
As a result, we had to wait until tomorrow to get down to business, and everyone slept on the floor of the banquet hall that night...
Luckily, it's still early autumn, and the evenings are just cool, but they don't feel cold.
Otherwise, if you sleep on the ground all night, you will have to fall ill the next day.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the few old Zabini who had been moved to the guest room slowly opened their eyes.
He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings around him and the furniture he had never seen before, trying to remember where he was....
"Sir, are you awake? Please wash up, the lord is already waiting in the living room. ”
Opening the door, old Zabini found a maid waiting outside.
After thanking him and washing his face again, he felt a little more sober.
"Oh.... It's crazy..."
Old Zabini rubbed his temples, recalling the sporadic clips of last night, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
How many years have you not been drunk? And it's also with people who meet for the first time.
"This lord.... It's not an ordinary person..."
Led by the maid, old Zabini soon came to the parlor.
In the living room at this time, Klose was whispering something to Hu Bolu.
"Hi ~ Frank Zabini ~ ~ How did you sleep last night?"
Klose waved and greeted each other, and even the salutation became... Dude.
"It's... Lord, don't you dare to call it that, I can't afford it! ”
Zabini waved his hand in fright.
Boy... Called "Big Brother" by a lord and nobleman? How much face do you have to have!?
Old Zabini knew his own strength as a businessman, and he knew when to stop, and when to joke was harmless.
Klose didn't insist, but instead called him President Zabini.
"President Zabini, I heard from Boru that this surname of yours is a very old ancient noble surname in the Ryan Continent?"
Zabini didn't expect Klose to say this.
Indeed, listening to the older generation, the surname "Zabini" is indeed very old, and it is even so old that it is impossible to find out when it originated in their family tree.
"Hehehe~ The lord smiled, it's just a surname, it doesn't mean anything."
The two were polite, and slowly the topic was brought to the true purpose of the meeting.
"I heard from Boru that the president wants the exclusive right to represent these goods in my hands?"
Klose went straight to the heart of the conversation.
Zabini smiled and nodded: "Yes, I said so, and I am confident that I can take on this important responsibility!" ”
As soon as the topic returned to business, the momentum of the old president of the Chamber of Commerce instantly changed.
That kind of calmness and self-confidence can only be exuded from the inside out after being immersed in a certain field for more than decades.
Hehe~ I believe in Poru's recommendation, and I also believe that President Zabini has this strength! So... Let's get a little practical. ”
Klose reached out and shoved a piece of paper in front of Zabini.
"President Zabini can take a look at it first, this is the details of the goods I have in my hand, you can consider the quantity and type of goods you will take for the first time.
But.... I've got a lot to say ahead of me, these things are good, and I have a lot of them in stock, but among them... There are many goods that are non-renewable. How to maximize the benefits of these goods... It depends on the president's ability! ”
Zabini glanced at Hu Bolu, who nodded to him next to him, took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
Yes, Klose sounded the alarm for the other party as soon as he came up.
The goods in the supermarket are good, but no matter how much stock there is, it will run out one day.
For example, those snacks and beer, the large consumption of the sky, has made Klose implement item control!
Of course, this control is also mainly controlled by himself... As long as he misses two parties, the stock of beer will definitely be enough for him to drink for more than ten years.
"Non-renewable goods .... It's a pity, but can you please help me mark these non-renewable ones? ”
"No problem~"
Klose winked, and Huboru began to write and draw on the details.
Zabini didn't have much of a stir on his face when he heard the news, because as far as he knew, Klose had huge reserves of all kinds of ore to be mined here!
And the well-made armor, the lightweight, and the muskets he had seen yesterday.
These are all sought-after goods that can open up sales channels on the mainland! It is also the fundamental reason why he chose to take the risk.
The Capybara Chamber of Commerce wants to return to its position as a hegemon in the circle of the Chamber of Commerce... Then this transaction must be grasped!
