Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

Dolly turned her head and glanced at her son Barrick, muttering, "Maybe I can help our son get that apprenticeship position?"

Chapter 150

Wangcheng No.1 Food Shop

In the Demon King City Square, in front of the newly opened food store, as usual, it was crowded with Demon King City residents who came to buy vermicelli.

At the same time, the surrounding area was full of police officers who were there to maintain order. They stared carefully at the residents of Demon City queuing up, and if there was anyone causing trouble in the crowd, they would quickly pull him out and throw him out.

To some extent, these policemen can even be considered violent law enforcement. However, due to the somewhat worrying quality of the people in Demon City, if they are not stricter, if someone starts to cause trouble, then no one will be able to buy anything.

In order to maintain order, there are several icon signs hanging next to the shop's signboard, asking customers to behave themselves. There are several strings of these signs hanging down, and there are more than a dozen of them in total.

Don’t think there are too many. Every icon here that deserves to be hung out has its own reason...

At this moment, outside the crowd, Irons and Finia stood together watching the crowded and bustling food store.

Irons raised his head and glanced at the sign of the food store. On the sign was written "No. 1 Food Store in Royal City" in the common language.

As for the name, the Demon King and other demon lords gathered together to discuss the name.

There were some outrageous names among them, such as Margaret's strong suggestion to name the grocery store "Irons Grocery Store".

Irons himself naturally protested strongly against this name, but it was praised by everyone except himself.

Irons responded by suggesting the name "Margaret's Grocery."

Obviously, when the matter of naming came up to her, Margaret still felt the unbearable embarrassment.

Although this name was also strongly recommended by other members of the parliament...

Finally, after the dual requests of Irons and Margaret, the name "Royal City No. 1 Merchandise Store" received the most votes and was passed on the grounds that people's names should not appear on merchandise stores.

Moreover, this naming method also facilitates the naming of subsequent stores. The second store is called "Wangcheng No. 2", and the third store is called "Wangcheng No. 3"...

Don’t worry about whether the name has any sense of design or not, just ask whether the name is inconvenient or not.

Since the opening of the "Wangcheng No. 1" food store, this crowded scene has always been maintained in front of the store.

The succubus waiters who were hired with good looks and pleasant voices were busy from opening to closing every day, with hardly a moment's rest in between.

This busy schedule even caused several succubi to collapse from exhaustion in the first few days of opening. As a result, the store had to recruit another group of employees to work in shifts.

This also indirectly illustrates the popularity of the No. 1 Food Store in the King's City among the residents of the Demon King's City, and the degree to which foods such as vermicelli are respected among the demons.

So the original intention was to open a store just to test the waters and to digest the food stocks that had been stockpiled during the training of apprentices, but it ended up misjudging the public's love for new foods.

After only one week of opening, the stock that the apprentices had produced in a month was completely consumed, and soon the food store would be unable to meet the demand.

If you really want to say how delicious vermicelli itself is, it’s not necessarily true. After all, whether it tastes good depends on how it is cooked.

Given the abundance of supplies in the Demon King's Castle, there is really no need to consider how delicious the vermicelli can be cooked.

For example, just now Ains and Finia ran to a roadside restaurant to eat like last time.

The store has kept up with the times and added some new dishes made with vermicelli. They ordered a bowl of stewed vermicelli to try the taste, but the flavor was still hard to describe.

Currently, the residents of Demon King City cook vermicelli by stewing it in salt water and adding some yam leaves to cook together. The taste of the cooked vermicelli has a bitter taste of yam leaves.

The taste of this kind of vermicelli boiled in bitter salt water is really not delicious, but even so, these residents of the Demon King City can still eat it with smiles on their faces.

All I can say is that the Demon Clan in the Demon Realm has been eating bitter yam porridge for a long time.

Irons asked Finia beside him, "Speaking of which, we will be recruiting the second batch of apprentices in a few days, right?"

The head maid nodded and responded, "Yes, Master Ains, the first batch of apprentices have basically been taught, enough to teach the next batch of apprentices.

Moreover…the food sales department has been asking us why the products are not being delivered. Even if the first batch of apprentices in the production department work at full capacity, they can’t produce much in a day.”

"Hahaha~" Hearing this, Ains couldn't help but chuckle. Ah, the daily bickering between the production department and the sales department, it's time to let these workers in the Demon King's City feel it too.

"Don't worry, even if there are enough goods, the sales department and the production department will argue all day long. Now it's just that the conditions are not met. After the quality inspection department is added, you will see the three departments arguing with each other in a three-kingdoms style~"

"Hmm..." Phineas was a little confused after listening to Ains's teasing, "Well...why do we need to join the Quality Inspection Department? Wouldn't adding a department slow down production progress?"

"Production is not just about speed or quality. We must also ensure safety and quality. But how can we make quality a priority and make it a priority for factory employees? This is how we come up with this argument."

"Out of stock! Closed!"

Following the crisp shouts of the succubus employees in the store, the residents who had been waiting in line for a long time began to wail.

"What! Closed? I've been waiting here for two hours!"

“Heh, ahhhhhhhh!”

"No! Are you really out of stock? Why do I feel like your stock is getting less and less every day? It's only a few hours now and you're closing the store?"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier that there was no stock? Are you kidding us by making us wait here for so long?!"

The people who had waited for a long time but failed to buy anything complained in dissatisfaction. In response, the succubus salesmen could only apologize with a polite but awkward smile, and then quickly closed the store door.

Now, no matter how much the people complain, it won’t reach their ears.

The people in the queue could do nothing about it. After all, they were also making trouble in front of the police who were maintaining order around them. After all, they still remembered the incident of these policemen arresting dozens of people a few days ago.

In the end, they could only leave the grocery store cursing and go back to their homes to find their mothers.

Irons watched all this and said to Finia, "Well, you can report this problem to the sales department. We don't have enough goods now.

So we should make reservations in advance based on how much goods we have and how many customers we will receive. We can’t let customers wait in line for half a day and end up not being able to buy anything.

We should treat Wangcheng No. 1 Food Store as a brand, and we must stabilize our reputation and try to reduce the situation that makes customers dissatisfied. "

Finia nodded respectfully and replied, "Okay, Master Ains, I will report this to the director of the sales department."

Just as Irons was watching the business of the store and whispering to Finia about some areas that needed improvement, a shout came from behind him.

"Hey! That fellow, are you new here?"

"……Um?"

Irons was stunned, and turned his head to look at the source of the voice in confusion. Fellow countryman? Are you calling me?

When he turned his head to look over, his expression became subtle. Several vampires with red eyes and pale skin gathered together and waved at him.

Red eyes, white skin, obviously, they are a group of vampires, so they call their transformed vampire costumes compatriots.

Ah, this is a bit embarrassing. After all, I am a fake vampire...

Ains didn't want to pay much attention to the local vampires in the Demon King's City. He just planned to respond and leave, but Finia's words changed his mind.

"That group of people are a mixed-blood gang, Mr. Irons."

"Hmm? The Half-Blood Gang?"

“Well… a gang from the outer city led by the vampire half-blood Constantine Brando. Their members are all half-bloods who are rejected by the vampires.

In order to gain the sense of identity that they cannot get from the vampires, the members of the half-blood gang call each other brothers and sisters. They probably want to pull you into the gang because you are a half-blood of the same vampire family as them, Master Ains.

"Gang members..." Irons muttered, then looked at the bags of vermicelli and yam cakes in the hands of these vampires, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting... Could they be the guys hired by other merchants to force people to buy and sell?"

"…I think so. After all, most of the gang members who can gather around here do this kind of work."

"Ah~ That's worth touching~"

Chapter 151

Mixed Blood Gang

Irons took a close look at the group of vampire half-bloods in front of him. Although they generally had the vampires' iconic red eyes and pale skin, they also had some other special features.

Some of them have demon horns on their heads that do not belong to the vampires, or some have black or reddish-brown hair instead of white hair, or some have other demon tails on their skin.

These mixed-bloods all have some characteristics that do not belong to the vampire race, which show their mixed-blood identity.

"The Mixed Blood Gang, right? I remember when I first met Batum, he looked at my identity as a vampire and recommended me to join this gang."

"Well... this gang is located in the outer city area. It is indeed a large and powerful gang. However, the troll farmer may have made a mistake about one thing."

"Huh? What went wrong?" Irons asked curiously.

In response, Finia did not answer directly, but looked at Irons' eyes and asked, "Mr. Irons, are you going to negotiate with these members of the mixed-blood gang?"

"Of course, since my image to the outside world is that of a vampire, I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with this group of mixed-bloods, and by the way... see if I can catch some big fish by following their lead."

As he spoke, the corners of Irons' mouth curled up slightly, and he had already started to think about it in his mind. Just in time, looking at the behavior of this group of mixed-race gang members, they were definitely hired by those merchants.

If we build a good relationship with them, maybe we can follow the clues through this group of mixed-blood gangs and dig out those businessmen who are disrupting the market, or even dig out the deeper existence behind them.

Finia also heard what Ains was planning, so she calmly suggested to Ains: "Lord Ains, I suggest you use the transformation magic to create a tail."

"Huh? Changing into a tail? Why?" Ains asked with some surprise when he was reminded.

Finia explained quietly: "You are now a pure-blooded vampire, but the mixed-blood gang... their attitude towards pure-blooded vampires... is more complicated."

"Uh..." Irons raised his brows, but quickly guessed the reason. For a race like the vampires who attach great importance to bloodline, the existence of mixed-bloods would naturally be suppressed and excluded.

Irons muttered in understanding, "Because they were suppressed and excluded by the pure-blooded vampires, this group of mixed-blood vampires also have a strong sense of rejection of the pure-blooded vampires, right?"

However, Finia nodded to this speculation, then shook her head and said, "It's not that they reject the pure-blooded vampires. In fact, these mixed-bloods actually have a complex relationship of...resistance but also yearning for the pure-blooded vampires."

Resistance and yearning? Irons pondered the word. Although it sounded particularly contradictory, it made perfect sense when he thought about it carefully.

After all, in Irons' previous life, there was a very typical group of this kind, black people mixed in white society.

Because of their tragic history of slavery, on the surface they had to resist and pretend to break free from the shackles of the white people and fight for independence and freedom.

However, what they want to be is not an independent black person in a white group. What they really want to do is to have a black white master.

"I see."

After Irons figured out the true mentality of this group of mixed-bloods, he nodded and silently conjured up a devil's tail behind his butt.

Then, he said to the group of mixed-blood gang members who greeted him: "Hey! Hello, brothers!"

"Um……"

Several half-bloods looked at Irons warily, but when they saw the devil's tail sticking out from behind his clothes, they stopped being distant and smiled back.

"Haha, fellow, you look like a new face. Did you just come to the Demon King's Castle?"

The leader, a female vampire hybrid with tiny devil horns and a slender tail, walked up and started chatting with Irons.

After taking a look at the features of this female mixed-race, Irons was certain that she was a mix of a devil and a vampire.

Irons grinned and greeted, "Yes~ fellow, I just came to the Demon King's Castle this month."

"This month? That means you've been here for a while? Tsk, why did you come to our Half-Blood Gang in the first place?"

As she spoke, the mixed-race girl even helped Irons brush the dust off his sackcloth in a familiar manner. This kind of intimacy in both her words and actions made people feel a little fond of this mixed-race girl.

Irons looked at the mixed-race girl in front of him with some surprise.

Perhaps it was because the bloodline of the little devil race was not very strong, so in terms of external signs, except for the pair of tiny devil horns and the slender pointed tail, the rest of the physical signs of this mixed-race girl were almost the same as those of a standard vampire.

Even his height was not affected by his demon bloodline, he was about 1.6 meters tall, although...

Irons couldn't help but take a look at the mixed-race girl's pitiful and barren breasts...

Tsk... This is basically no different from a tablet. Irons feels the rise and fall of his chest muscles compared to the mixed-race girl in front of him. He can even say that his chest is surging.

I heard that the breasts of vampire women are generally very ugly because vampire babies do not breastfeed and start eating blood from birth.

There is no need for breastfeeding, so during the evolution of vampire women, their chests gradually tend to be flat, and the big noko has become the so-called useless fat...

And this mixed-race girl is a mixed-race of the Little Demon Clan, a race with naturally petite bodies. This... Adding insult to injury, and finally becoming this unique airport...

Tut tut...

Thinking of this, Ains couldn't help but feel a little sorry. As expected, it was still a heart as full as Margaret's, and a heart that could warm his own heart...

The mixed-race girl noticed the pity in Ains' eyes. Although she didn't know why the strange man in front of her had such an expression, her instinct told her that the guy in front of her was thinking about something very offensive!

The girl frowned and asked with a hint of questioning: "Um...what are you looking at?"

"Um... nothing, it's just that this is the first time I've met a fellow countryman like me in the city, and I'm a little surprised..."

"First time?" The mixed-blood girl tilted her head in surprise and muttered, "Didn't you ask for information when you came to the Demon King's City? Since he is a mixed-blood of the vampire clan, he must be looking for our mixed-blood gang~"
