Chapter 45: campbell pearl

Aiwa Street, located in a street in the center of Aser City, is one of the most prosperous streets in Aser City.

Half an hour later, the carriage drove into Aiwa Street and stopped in front of a shop called Yili Bakery.

This is not too big a bakery, the area of ​​the whole shop is only more than a hundred square meters, but there are many people coming in and out of this bakery.

Among them are noble ladies with little girls and boys, as well as intimate young men and women, but without exception, they are all well-dressed, and it is not difficult to see from the fabrics of their clothes that their family backgrounds are very superior.

The price of such a bakery that can be placed in the center of the city is naturally not cheap. Even the most common type of bread costs more than ten copper coins. , no commoner will spend half a month's wages for a mere "delicious" bread.

Sean and Lily got off the carriage, and suddenly there was a tempting smell of bread. Smelling this scent, Sean was fine, but the little girl Lily couldn't wait, and she dragged Sean and ran towards the bakery. go.

Pushing open the two-leaf wooden door that was only one meter high, the two walked in, and a ring-shaped counter greeted them.

On the counter, there are many kinds of bread with different shapes and tastes, including butter, fruit, and ham...

Behind the ring-shaped counter, standing are young girls with average appearance. They all wear white tunic aprons, with sweet smiles on their faces, recommending the bread in front of the counter to passing customers.

Sean didn't accept their recommendation, to be precise, he didn't have time to accept their recommendation.

As soon as she entered the store, Lily dragged Sean straight to a counter with buttered bread, staring straight at the buttered bread on the counter.

Seeing Lily like this, the girl behind the counter showed a sweet smile and said to Sean.

"Master, these are freshly baked butter breads, do you need two?"

"Well, give me two."

Patted Lily's head, Sean nodded.

"Okay, a total of 40 copper coins."

The girl skillfully wrapped two loaves in bread paper and handed them to Sean, but Lily reached out to take one of them first. Seeing Lily's anxious look, Sean smiled and took out the bread. A silver coin was handed to the girl.

In the second half of the year, there is still a lot of living expenses sent by the housekeeper, plus the money from the two wolf-shaped beasts before, he is now considered to have a small surplus, and two breads are naturally not a problem.

Holding a piece of bread with Lily, the two walked out of the bakery, but they did not return to the carriage, but walked down the street while eating the buttered bread in their hands. Behind them was Arthur Cook was driving, slowly following the carriage.

Although the price is a bit expensive, the bread in this bakery tastes really good. The fragrance of bread and butter permeates Sean's appetite.

After one bite, the softness of the bread and the sweetness of the butter filled his mouth. Sean couldn't help but nodded. In terms of taste, it was not much worse than those high-end bakeries in the previous life, and because they had the unique cream in this world. The reason is that it has a unique flavor.

Although this world is much worse than the previous life in terms of the degree of civilization and development, it surpasses the previous life in some aspects.

To be precise, this world is on another path of development. If the previous life was the path of technology, then the present world is the path of its own evolution.

Human beings use chivalry to strengthen themselves, so that they have power beyond common sense, while wizards master all kinds of strange powers through practicing witchcraft. Although the methods are different, the routes they take are without exception. They are all about strengthening themselves and evolving themselves. road.

Because of their powerful strength, the status of this group in their respective ethnic groups has been infinitely elevated, resulting in infinite prosperity of various industries around their needs, such as food, high-end clothing, weapons...

It can be said that as long as the group needs to master the power, it will become infinitely prosperous. This world is a real world where the majority revolves around a small number of people.

If it was the previous life, with such a high degree of centralization, riots and riots would inevitably occur one after another, but it is different here.

The centralized power possesses supernormal power and the confidence to suppress all riots. Any riots and riots are useless. Over time, the social form is completely finalized, and naturally there will be no riots or riots.

The only ones that exist are families who want to be top-notch and want to get into that centralized group.

This is the case with the Campbell family where Sean lives.

This family first made their fortune in the leather business, and then gradually expanded, and also began to get involved in other industries, and gradually formed the current Campbell Firm.

But until now, the development has also fallen into a bottleneck, and has even regressed a bit. The reason is that there is not enough power to deter other families.

Although they also spent huge sums of money to hire a strong man who has practiced chivalry for many years to sit in the family, but after all, employment is employment, and loyalty cannot be guaranteed. As long as there are enough benefits, the other party can completely leave Campbell Firm, or even stab in the back.

After experiencing several betrayals, Campbell & Co. learned from the painful experience and decided to cultivate their own strength.

However, the qualifications of knights are not something you can have if you want to have them. After all, the Campbell family is not a family with knight blood. There has never been a knight in the family. Finally, after searching the entire Campbell family, they found that Sean has the qualifications of a knight. This happened with Sean attending Neo Knight Academy.

and Lily were holding a piece of bread, eating while walking, and while walking, Sean suddenly frowned.

In front of their line of sight, there is a jewelry store. At this time, many people have gathered in front of the store, and arguing can be vaguely heard coming from inside. It seems that there is a dispute between the jewelry store and the customers.

The reason why he frowned was because of a circular logo on the plaque of this jewelry store, which was the logo of Campbell's firm, which meant that this jewelry store was opened by Campbell's family.

Campbell's family started with fur, and then developed into other fields, among which jewelry is one of the fields of development.

The reason why I chose the field of jewelry at the beginning was because this field is lucrative, and the price difference between raw materials and finished products is huge, and there is a huge room for profit.

"Let's go see..."

Sean frowned slightly, but in the end he decided to go and see what was going on, so he took the little girl Lily's hand, and with strength far beyond ordinary people, pushed through the crowd of onlookers and came to the location near the jewelry store .

At this time, in front of the jewelry store, there was a short young man holding a jade jewelry decorated with silver in his hand, shouting loudly.

"Look at this, everyone. This is the top-quality jade ornament I bought from this store for 30 silver coins. After asking the jeweler in the city, Master Bem, to appraise it, guess what? This is not jade at all, but a piece of glass stone. Buy glass stones as jade, do you think this store is black?"

Hearing his words, many of the onlookers changed their expressions slightly.

Jewel master Bem and the others have heard of it, the authoritative master in the field of jewelry, since he said it was glass stone, it must be glass stone.

"What, the jade ornaments of 300 silver coins are actually made of glass stone?"

"Not good, I just bought a piece of jade from this store a few days ago, isn't it also made of glass stone?"

"No, I want to return it!"

Many people who have bought jade ornaments in this store have already looked at the jewelry store with bad eyes, clamoring to return the products.

Seeing this, Sean raised his eyebrows. Although he has not participated in the management of Campbell Firm, he also knows that Campbell Firm has always been famous for its reputation and has an excellent reputation in Aser City. The shoddy thing has never happened before. However, there must be tricks in it.

Although he had already guessed that there was something tricky in it, Sean didn't intend to stand up.

On the one hand, he hasn't figured out how to deal with the situation in front of him, and on the other hand, it's because he saw a person.

This is a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long blond hair, exquisite facial features, fair skin, and a long silk dress that reveals her slender figure undoubtedly.

The girl walked out of the store, glanced at the man who was looking at the jewelry store with bad eyes, and frowned.

"Quiet!"

The voice was not loud, but everyone who heard it quickly shut up, because most of them knew the girl in front of them.

If we say that in the past two years, the most popular person in Campbell & Co. is the girl in front of me.

Yuna Campbell, the pearl of Campbell Firm, is a gifted girl with terrifying business talent.

It only took ten days to make a store that was losing money and was about to close down become profitable again, and it just saved the store from the brink of bankruptcy.

Anyone who is in business will give her a thumbs up without hesitation when talking about her. Her fame is not because she is the daughter of the head of the Campbell family, but because of her real strength.

It is heard that Campbell Firm has intentionally expanded her business scope and plans to hand over more business to her, which shows that the other party has excellent business talent.

Seeing this girl, Lili's eyes lit up, she pointed at the girl, and said happily.

"Look, brother, it's my sister!"

"Um."

Sean nodded, but thought in his heart, "What a coincidence".

The girl in front of me is none other than the nominal sister of this body.

I was just shopping casually, but I didn't expect to encounter someone "seeking trouble" in my shop, let alone my sister in name here.
