The girl who was punished by the gods counterattacked and became the group's favorite

"I'm sorry to cause you some trouble."

"No, no." The clerk waved her hands quickly. She was just an ordinary lady in front of a commoner, but she looked like a noble. How could she dare to accept the apology of a noble?

"Can you please call your boss over for me?" Tia did not forget the important thing she wanted to do.

"Of course, I'll go call the boss over right away." The clerk thought that a big customer had come, and went to call him happily.

The boss recognized Tia as soon as he came over and said, "Respected Lord, good day!"

Seeing the boss say this, the clerk knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Please forgive me, Lord. I didn't mean to offend you just now."

"It's okay, get up. I have a business to discuss with you."

"Okay, Lord, please come this way." The owner stood up and led Tia upstairs.

"Can you let me smell all the spices you have in your store?" Tia paused and added, "Purebred, nothing else."

The store manager waved his hands awkwardly. He knew that if the lord came to buy spices from him, he would definitely find out about this.

"Ok."

Tia followed the store manager all the way to their warehouse. It must be said that the large amount of various spices piled up made the whole warehouse smell very weird.

The store manager clasped his hands awkwardly in front of his chest and smiled ingratiatingly, "I wonder what business the Lord wishes to discuss?"

Tia didn't answer. She looked through the spices from beginning to end. She just ignored the ones that were obviously flowers. Surprisingly, she found a seasoning - bay leaves.

If you can find cinnamon and star anise, you can make some braised dishes.

She watched all this with an expressionless face, which made the store manager panic and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I know it's because there are relatively few nobles here, and only nobles will buy these spices. You can't afford the cost, so you like to mix something else in.

But you are afraid that people will notice it, so you actually add spices, but they are those with subtle fragrance. I just took a look and you have a wide variety of spices here.

I'll draw some things in the next couple of days. See if anyone in your purchasing channels recognizes these items. If you recognize one, I'll give you three gold coins. If you find a relevant channel to obtain this item, I'll give you five gold coins."

Tia already knew the information she wanted and sat on a chair nearby.

The store manager stood aside, bent over and not daring to sit down, and could only nod.

“This is between you and me, so it’s up to you how much you want to earn and how much you want to give to others.

Of course, this matter also has a certain deadline. Within one month, you must at least find a way to prove your strength to me.

Do you want to do this business?"

Tia turned a gold coin back and forth between her fingers, her eyes fixed on the store manager.

The store manager knew what Tia meant, swallowed a few times, and his brain started working quickly.

If he took the business, he had to find at least one thing within a month, otherwise the fact that he mixed other things into the sales would be exposed.

If he didn't take this business, he wouldn't just lose the money he could get from it, he...

He looked up at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be in a playful mood. Tia was obviously not urging him and was happily playing with the gold coins in her hand, but he always felt that an invisible gaze was focused on him.

He originally thought that Tia would be soft-hearted and just ask him to return the money for the spices, or that she would no longer be able to run the spice shop here.

But just now, when he looked at the gold coin being played with, he suddenly thought of himself. He was playing with the nobles by doing this!

Is he still alive?

"Do it!" The store manager could only nod. He never had any choice.

"Don't worry, it's only been a month. When I visited your shop, I saw a lot of things with cultural significance from different places. I'm sure you travel a lot and know spice merchants from many places. I'm sure you can find it."

Tia placed the gold coin she was playing with on the table and said, "This is the deposit."

The store manager nodded and smiled, but did not dare to put the "life-threatening" gold coin into his pocket.

"Okay, I have other things to deal with. I hope to hear good news from you." Tia stood up and prepared to leave.

The store manager followed Tia and saw her off, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Tia had completely left the store.

"What's wrong with the store manager? Didn't we just say we were going to talk about business? Could it be that the lord is asking for an exorbitant price?" The clerk looked at the store manager who was sweating profusely and couldn't help but ask with concern.

The store manager shook his head, unwilling to think about what had just happened. He sat dejectedly on the chair, as if all his energy had been drained away.

"Manager, would you like to have some tea?"

"Forget it, I have no appetite. If the Lord's Mansion sends anything, remember to hand it over to me as soon as possible."

The store manager waved his hands, his face ashen, and after sitting there for a long while, he suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to go out and find out what kind of person the lord is."

The clerk didn't understand the confusing words and could only nod vaguely, watching the manager run out in a hurry.

The manager ran until he arrived near Bell's Restaurant. He stood in the bustling crowd and felt that all the people were passing by him.

He seemed to have forgotten something important.

Why does the Lord suddenly need some very novel spices?

Since the lord came here, there has been a new restaurant here. Could it be that he wants to join forces with other merchants to open a new spice shop?

Is this a test for myself? If I find those spices, will I become the first target of the Lord's cooperation?

As the manager thought about this, some hope suddenly rekindled in his heart. He went into the restaurant and ordered some dishes.

Kleb just happened to come over to serve the manager.

"I remember you seem to be the store manager here, right? Although Miss Bell is the store manager in name only, she doesn't really care about things here, so it's basically you who handles everything.

"Does the Lord have any dealings with Miss Bell? What kind of person is the Lord?"

"They are both nobles, so it's normal for them to know each other. As for the lord, he is a very kind person..."

Once Kleb started talking, he talked incessantly, and gave Tia almost all the compliments he could think of.
