Free Web NovelChapter 519: Chapter 379: The Lady Boss and Chicken Feet
Objectively speaking, Lafra was incredibly beautiful, so much so that one could describe her as a "national beauty," but for Alisa at that moment, even without saying a word, Lafra’s oppressive presence was unparalleled.
"Hmm... so sleepy..." Lafra yawned mightily before laying her head on the table, waiting for her ice-cold cola.
Although she had just had a can in the kitchen, to Lafra, it clearly wasn’t enough.
"By the way, what’s your name?" Lafra lifted her head and looked at Alisa, who was sitting stiffly across from her, and asked casually.
"Lady Lafra, I... my name is Alisa, the president of Gold Coin and Rose Commerce Guild," Alisa answered very quickly, in line with her racing heartbeat.
"Oh... Gold Coin and Rose..." Lafra propped her chin and looked like she could fall asleep at any moment.
However, she rubbed her face to make herself more alert. freёweɓnovel.com
"I’d like to purchase a batch of ingredients from you, what kind of capability do you have?" Lafra asked seriously, but her drowsy expression made it hard for Alisa to believe that she was discussing a big business deal.
"Lady Lafra, what exactly are you planning to buy?" Alisa asked cautiously. She thought it was very likely related to Chen Ze’s restaurant since Lafra was Chen Ze’s girlfriend, and it seemed like they were heading towards marriage.
"Hmm... alcohol, high-quality alcohol. I’m thinking of experimenting with cocktails," Lafra pondered for a bit with her head tilted, then gave her response.
"As for alcohol... I have a friend who runs a commercial firm that deals with alcohol, how much high-quality alcohol do you need?" Alisa became even more serious. Alcohol was a highly profitable industry, and if the communication was not right, Alisa thought she might go bankrupt.
"Roughly this much." Lafra took off the ring she was wearing on her finger and placed it on the table.
Lafra had her own thoughts. Chen Ze was clearly always cooking, and it looked like he had the urge to keep going. At the very least, when Lafra asked Chen Ze if he wanted to do something else, he answered seriously that he wouldn’t.
Chen Ze’s culinary skills were, of course, needless to say, extremely good, explosively good. At least, Lafra now didn’t want to eat any other dishes. Other dishes were simply not in the same class as those made by Chen Ze. However, Chen Ze also had his shortcomings, which was that he didn’t know how to brew alcohol.
The alcohol was basically purchased, with none being brewed by themselves, so Lafra thought that she might help Chen Ze with this issue in the future. At that time, the customers would all say, "Boss Lady, give me a glass of such and such wine."
The thought of the title "Boss Lady" made Lafra blush.
Alisa looked at the Space Ring and felt a twitch in her heart. It was a very high-end Space Ring, although it was empty, the space inside was vast. At the very least, Alisa thought that it would take about twenty Gold Coin and Rose Commerce Guilds to fill up this ring.
Alisa’s heart sank at the thought of such a large Space Ring...
"Oh, this is the fee for the purchase; it should be enough. I had my financial butler calculate it for me," said Lafra as she rubbed her rosy cheeks and handed the ring to Alisa.
"Okay." Alisa took the ring and glanced inside. It was crammed with treasures, ranging from Gold Coins to very precious statues. There was also a piece of paper, which Alisa curiously pulled out and looked at. It was written in the common human script, listing a long series of items.
"Sun God’s Wine...from Meiqin River..." Alisa quickly finished reading. The wines listed were all very expensive high-end liquors, but with so many treasures, it should be enough.
Just as Alisa was about to fold the paper, she suddenly noticed there was another line of text on the back. She turned it over to take a look.
"The price of all the aforementioned alcoholic beverages has been thoroughly investigated, and the total value of all treasures in the ring has reached the full price of the beverages."
A twitch appeared at the corner of Alisa’s mouth. She had been wondering what kind of person Lafra’s financial butler was; now she knew. Only a Goblin could be so precise with their calculations and so stingy.
"Lady Lafra, since you’re ordering a lot, and it’s all high-end alcohol, we may need a week’s time to prepare your order," said Alisa. She was very satisfied with this order. Although the Goblin gave a market price, which seemed to have no profit, for a merchant, the amount of the order surely could be used to negotiate a discounted price. So, it seemed she could make a good profit this time.
Substituting inferior goods? Alisa wasn’t worried about that at all. She wondered who would dare be audacious enough to swindle Lady Lafra. She had seen a magic inscription when checking the ring—it was a mark.
Alisa felt that no merchant would dare give Lady Lafra counterfeit goods. Although it was across a different plane, if Lafra demanded personnel from the Pope, he would certainly not hesitate.
"A week, huh..." Lafra nodded. Indeed, there was a lot of wine, so all she could do was wait.
"Lady Lafra, this is the Chocolate Fantasy Cake that the manager prepared for you," said Betty, finally bringing over a chilled can of cherry-flavored cola and a cake after a long wait.
"Mmm~" Lafra’s mood instantly brightened.
"Then, Lady Lafra, I will take my leave now," said Alisa, wiping her mouth. She had finished her meal, and although she had planned to chat with Betty, now that she had received such a large order from Lafra, she certainly had to sort it out first.
"Mm-hmm." Lafra nodded and then Alisa left an Ice Fish behind, waved at Betty, and withdrew.
Meanwhile, Chen Ze was unaware that his girlfriend planned to become a cocktail mixologist. If he had known, he would have bought some hangover remedies in advance to prevent her from getting disastrously drunk.
"Let’s leave the crispy rice for now. I want to make some snacks. After all, it feels odd not to eat something while watching a movie at night," said Chen Ze, cricking his neck. He was getting neurotic from making this crispy rice dish.
"As for snacks, or rather, munchies..." Chen Ze pondered for a moment, and then he recalled a very famous snack.
"Chicken feet...spicy pickled chicken feet, or braised chicken feet, and roasted chicken feet are also good. I should try making each kind, but since I’m not very fond of spicy pickled chicken feet, I’ll replace it with Dai-flavored chicken feet. So, off to buy some chicken feet I go," Chen Ze swallowed hard. The taste of chicken feet was simply too good, delicious, and especially satisfying to eat, a veritable evergreen in the world of snacks.
