What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 23 Phinea

The carriage with the badge of Roman Sagan drove all the way into the city, and when it passed the city gate, it directly bypassed the inspection team and galloped through the special passage next to it.

"This seems to be a craftsman's district?"

Colin pulled up the curtain and looked out. There were many shops on both sides of the street, but most of them were blacksmith shops and workshops. Workers in gray and worn linen clothes came in and out, full of enthusiasm.

"Sister, you haven't told me where you are going yet."

"You have been the teacher's disciple for half a year, and many things should be slowly contacted." Tessa looked at Colin's side face, and smiled: "Teacher, apart from the mage tower outside the city, there are also some industries in the city. Yes, it is one of them, Youjin Chamber of Commerce."

"Youjin Chamber of Commerce?"

Colin seemed to be familiar with this name.

It suddenly occurred to me that Roy had mentioned that his father gradually became rich because of a big deal with the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, and slowly accumulated his current family business.

"You Gold Chamber of Commerce is the teacher's property?"

Colin couldn't believe it, but he wasn't surprised after thinking about it carefully.After all, a magister also costs money, even a lot of money. The spices that Mrs. Muller uses every month are enough for ordinary people to spend for several years.

"Not exactly." Tessa rubbed her hands a few times in her sleeves, which were still cold even in summer, and said:
"The founder of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce was an adventurer who once roamed the East China Sea. After accumulating wealth, he returned to the mainland to do business. He died of illness a few years ago. Now, his daughter, Ms. Phinea, is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. The original scale was small, but after the teacher became a shareholder, it has now become one of the largest chambers of commerce in Thunder City."

"Will the teacher still invest in business?" Ke Lin couldn't help but find it interesting.

Tessa smiled and said, "Although it's a shareholding, it didn't pay."

Colin understood instantly.

Bearing the name of Roman Sagan, the business of the chamber of commerce is naturally unfavorable, among other things, at least no one dares to use commercial surprises to thwart the chamber of commerce.

"Because of the teacher's joining, the Youjin Chamber of Commerce not only has a prosperous business, but also often receives orders from the Kingdom's officials. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is making a lot of money every day."

"Is this called lying down and making money?" Colin laughed.

"Although this description is vulgar, it is not wrong." Tessa smiled and said: "The teacher owns half of the Chamber of Commerce, so you can treat this as your own property. Of course, when the Chamber of Commerce is in trouble, we also need to help, although No such difficulties have occurred so far."

"I see." Colin nodded.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a tall building.

Ke Lin jumped down first, then turned around and helped the senior sister get off the car.

The architectural style of the artisan district is obviously different from other places, because it is hardly used for residential purposes, and most of them are spacious houses with large openings. From Ke Lin's perspective, it is probably mainly factories and workshops.

Before they could stand still, a group of people had already greeted them at the door, which startled Colin.

A 30-year-old woman with a slender figure and exquisite make-up that was slightly coquettish stepped forward with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Tessa."

"Hello, Ms. Phinea." Tessa was obviously familiar with the other party, and immediately pointed to Colin and introduced: "This is the teacher's new student, Colin Wayne."

The lady named Phineya seemed to be ready and squatted slightly to salute: "Hello, Mr. Wayne, I have heard about you for a long time."

Am I that famous?
But maybe because of the teacher, it is understandable that Youjin Chamber of Commerce pays more attention to himself.

"Hello, Ms. Phinea." Colin politely returned.

"Breakfast is ready, Miss Tessa and Mr. Wayne please move."

No wonder the senior sister didn't call for breakfast this morning, it turned out to be arranged here.

……

In the large and bright restaurant, there were only three people sitting on the giant long dining table, and there were seven or eight neatly dressed waiters beside them.

After serving white bread, cheese, fried eggs, various sausages, grilled quail, vegetable soup, lemon drink, sweet pudding, etc., Colin found that the rich breakfast was simply extravagant.

This is just me and my senior sister. If the teacher comes, will they compete with His Majesty's dinner party?

Ke Lin was shocked by this situation for a moment, and took a sneak peek to the side, and found that the senior sister was obviously more experienced than him, as if she was used to such hospitality, she was chatting with Ms. Phinea in a low voice.

He turned his eyes to the plate of lobster in front of him, and when he was still hesitating whether to do it, the waiter in white was already approaching.

"Have I had the honor of serving you?"

I was taken aback... Colin slandered inwardly, and then said politely, "Thank you."

The waiter skillfully disassembled the lobsters that were as long as the forearm length, removed the shells, put the fleshy parts into a beautiful plate, and brought them to Colin.

Eating lobster early in the morning...

At this time, Ke Lin missed the tofu nao and fried dough sticks very much.

After smelling the sauce, my appetite dropped by half again.

It was apparently some kind of sweet sauce mixed with honey.

Sugar is a luxury in this world. Even the wealthy class mostly use honey and fruits to obtain sweetness, but lobster with sweet sauce, especially in the morning, can make people tired to death.

Seeing that his senior sister and Ms. Phineya were chatting intensely, he turned to the waiter and said, "Please chop up the ginger for me, put it in vinegar and serve it to me."

The waiter was obviously taken aback for a moment, then nodded and left.

Not long after, a bowl of something dark was served.

Black vinegar is the only sour condiment in this era except lemon. It is an inferior product produced during wine making. No one will specialize in the taste and brewing of vinegar. It is mainly regarded as a cheap drink by the poor. No noble will drink it at all. .

Under the astonished eyes of the waiter, Ke Lin regarded the lobster as a crab and ate it with ginger vinegar sauce. Although the taste could not be compared with the previous life, at least it was much better than honey.

"I'm used to Mrs. Muller's cooking, Mr. Wayne must not be satisfied with these foods."

At some point, the chat between Feniya and Tessa had ended, and they both looked at Colin.

Ke Lin really wanted to be polite, but he couldn't give a compliment against his will. He could only say: "Seafood doesn't need great cooking skills, as long as it's fresh enough."

Phineya responded with a smile: "I agree very much, but it's a pity that Thunder City is located inland, and these lobsters were transported by the fleet of the Chamber of Commerce from the Horseshoe Sea to our table after fifteen days, although there were magicians all the way. Frozen processing, after all, it is not considered fresh."

Specially hire magicians for frozen preservation?
Sure enough, rich and powerful.
