Big Capitalist

Chapter 41: Not Enough Spices

"Besides, I have something to ask Mr. Harrington. You guys go first and just mention my name when you get to the cart." Merlin stood up and prepared to go to the teacher's office.

Fit immediately grabbed Merlin and said, "Hey, you won't be able to find Teacher Harrington in the teacher's office now. Come with me. I know where Teacher Harrington is."

"Oh?" Merlin followed Fate and walked out. After walking for a while, he felt something strange. Wasn't this location the direction to the atrium?

At this moment, the atrium of the teaching building was bustling with activity, with countless students shouting in front of the carts, asking to buy beggar's chicken in lotus leaves.

Merlin looked at Fate in silence. Fate saw his expression and immediately pulled him in front of him. He pointed to the front of the line of carts and said, "Look for yourself. Isn't that Mr. Harrington?"

Merlin looked where Fate pointed, and sure enough he saw Teacher Harrington. At this moment, Teacher Harrington was using his identity as a teacher to exchange positions with his students, and soon came to the front of the line.

"Give me twenty chicken heads, five servings of chicken livers and chicken hearts, two beggar chickens cooked in lotus leaves, chicken legs, chicken necks, and spicy and sour chicken feet..." Professor Harrington ordered everything he could in one go.

Gene took the money with a smile on his face, and was about to pick up some food for Harrington when he saw Merlin coming over.

"boss!"

"Well, you go and receive the other students." Merlin personally received Teacher Harrington and specially gave Harrington an extra beggar's chicken, which made Harrington happy for a while.

Harrington patted Merlin on the shoulder and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me, teacher?"

Merlin smiled awkwardly, "Teacher, how do you know I have something to ask you?"

"My boy, I am your teacher, how can I not know what you are thinking?"

Merlin handed over the alchemical drawing that Weber had given him. Harrington took it and looked at it carefully for a while. He found that the drawing was really well drawn. Although it was the most basic alchemical creation, the alchemical circuits and rune composition inside made Harrington's eyes light up.

"Sure, don't tell me you came up with this blueprint."

"How is that possible? I don't have that ability."

"Yes, the person who drew this blueprint is at least a high-level alchemist. Why do you want to hire someone to make this thing?"

Harrington understood why Merlin wanted him to do that.

Merlin nodded. "Yes, this alchemical kiln is specially used to make lotus leaf beggar's chicken. Recently, we are planning to expand the scale of production and hire people to make more of these things."

Harrington nodded. "The materials needed for this are not valuable. It's just that this high-level magic crystal is quite expensive and difficult to obtain."

"You don't have to use high-level magic crystals. The cheapest ones will be enough. I remember that a secondary magic crystal only costs 500 gold coins."

"You're right. Anyway, it's used to activate magic runes, and the secondary ones are enough. How about this: you take this blueprint to the alchemy workshop of the academy and find Matthew King Henry. Just say that I recommended you here, and he will help you forge it." Harrington returned the blueprint to Merlin and recommended his student Matthew King Henry to him.

Matthew King Henry, this is the alchemy genius who was accepted as a private disciple by Mr. Harrington. Merlin has also heard of this name. He seems to be a senior in the fourth grade.

Merlin said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Harrington."

"If you want to thank me, give me some of the delicious food you made."

"Teacher, I'll have an owl send it to you later."

Merlin finished speaking and Harrington looked surprised "Owl?"

"Yes, I recently started a takeout service. You can tell me and I will send an owl to deliver what you want to the designated location."

Harrington thought the takeaway service was interesting. "It sounds great. I think you'd better come up with a way to contact you at any time, otherwise it will be troublesome for us to place orders."

"Well, I'm exploring this." Merlin nodded. Without the Internet access he had in his previous life, ordering takeout was not an easy task.

"Okay, I'll go back to the teacher's office first. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future." Harrington waved his hand and left with the food he bought.

When Merlin returned to the courtyard, most of the food on the cart was sold out.

When Gene saw Merlin coming over, he quickly said, "Boss, I suggest that we should continue to expand production. Five hundred lotus leaf beggar chickens and the accompanying products are not difficult to sell. They are still out of stock."

At this time, many students who were buying food nodded in agreement, and came over one after another to make suggestions.

"Merlin, the amount of lotus leaf beggar chicken you sell is really too small."

"That's right. I just came a little late, so I didn't get to eat it, although the chicken head and chicken neck are also very good."

"Can I have more spicy passion fruit lemon chicken feet? I'm planning to buy fifty tomorrow!"

"Some students bought more than a dozen lotus leaf beggar chickens at once, and those waiting in line behind them were worried that they wouldn't be able to buy any."

"It would be fine if it was just students from the Alchemy Department, but now many students from other colleges are trying to snatch it from us."

Merlin didn't expect that five hundred were not enough for this group of students. These students were really rich. In fact, he was more anxious than these students. Only one alchemy kiln was not enough. These were all fresh leeks waiting to be harvested.

Merlin felt a little sad when he thought about not being able to make so much money, and at this time Gene said, "Boss, it seems that those spice bags you brought are not enough."

"Don't worry about that. I'll go buy it right away. I still have ways to buy spices."

Merlin glanced at the students who were complaining about the lack of lotus leaf beggar chicken and said, "Don't worry, classmates, I will expand the production capacity immediately. Please give us a little more time to wait."

"We're just afraid that more teachers will know how delicious these things are, and then it won't just be our classmates who will compete with us for them." One of the students who gave up his seat to Teacher Harrington said a little depressed.

Although queue-jumping is not allowed, teachers always have privileges. There is nothing we can do even if these students "voluntarily" give up their seats to teachers.

And how could they not give in? The final exams were coming up, and if they made Mr. Harrington unhappy, what would they do?

Merlin had no choice but to smile awkwardly, then glanced around and found the person he was looking for.

With his mouth full of oil, Dahl burped happily. When he saw Merlin coming over, he picked his teeth, slowly stood up, shaking his fat body, and said, "I guess it's time for you to come find me."

"Oh?"

“Are we running out of spices?”

Merlin didn't expect this fat guy to be so capable. He could tell what Merlin wanted to do at a glance and had a high sense of business.
