Chapter 164 One can't be less!

When designing ready-to-wear at the beginning, there was a lot of trouble.

First, there was a debate about whether to sell the clothes as magic products. Mrs. Xiangqi thought that as a magic product, they could get a higher selling price. After all, their expected price was only one-tenth of the same quality of magic clothes.

"Wouldn't it be possible to detect that there is no magic fluctuation?" Cecil asked.

"We can use a little magic on the clothes." Mrs. Xiangqi said calmly, "This method is very common."

Cecil raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you have experience."

Mrs. Shanzi smiled decently, without any panic, and Cecil understood that this was some kind of badge of honor, showing that he had been regarded as a close friend in combat.However, he is still not going to lie about magic, not only because it is too easy to be exposed, but also because he has a bold idea, but it is too early to tell it.

After confirming that the clothes would follow the route of "crowding the market and leaving others nowhere to go" like the four-wheeled carriage, there was another debate about the style of clothing.

Where does Cecil have any experience in fashion design? One of the two model clothes is a wedding dress and the other is a cheongsam.

Mrs. Xiangqi smacked her lips after seeing it, and she lost all female etiquette: "Your Majesty, cough, I have to say, you really have no talent in this area."

"Really?" Cecil looked at the two models. The tight, small, and narrow clothes completely outlined the beautiful figures. He thought they looked good. "What's wrong?"

"Looks like..."

When Mrs. Xiangqi tried her best to find the right words, the two beauties who acted as models had already opened their mouths unceremoniously.

"Like a whore."

"Very frivolous."

Cecil: "..."

Just at this time, the royal knights came in to participate in the selection, and Cecil asked casually, "What do you think?"

Moyer whistled: "Are you finally going to take the seduction route?"

O'Casey frowned: "My Lord will forgive these women."

Oakes leaned close to Russell's ear and whispered a few words, the lovers laughed and laughed, Russell said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have been a straight man for too long..."

Only Langdon smiled and said, "It's very nice, my dear."

Cecil didn't want to talk.

In the end, Mrs. Xiangqi made some changes on the basis of Cecil's design. After reading it, he had to admit that it was much pleasing to the eye, with some indescribable "temperament", and the clothes looked more expensive.Since then, he has completely left the design of ready-made clothes to Mrs. Xiangqi. During the busiest time of work, Mrs. Xiangqi pulled more than 300 people from her family to live in Yuecheng, making clothes day and night. This has created the crazy buying scene today.

"I have them all! Give them all to me!"

"No, I want it first!"

"Fuck you! I want all the clothes of these fabrics! Is there any fabric? I want fabric too!"

"I'll double the price!"

"Twice! Twice the price! And future materials!"

The sales in the front row couldn't stand it anymore. Every customer had a hideous face, waving a cloth bag full of kranium and shouting loudly.

"We start pre-order business, and we can deliver the goods to your door. It only costs half a gram for each piece of clothing to be delivered to Crandall and Loschere!" Mrs. Xiangqi had been prepared for a long time, and she stood on a table and said loudly, "It can be agreed Delivery time, you can customize the style, please see, this is the fabric book!"

Customers turned around like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers, and flocked to Mrs. Xiangqi frantically. There were more than 100 fabric books, but even so it was not enough. Some people could only look at the books held by the models from a distance, and suddenly found that There are ten kinds of red cloth alone.

At the beginning, Mrs. Xiangqi was puzzled by the dyeing problem: "Why are there so many different shades of the same color? Isn't it better to match different colors?"

On this point, Cecil is very insistent: "Do you know a habit called collection addiction?"

Mrs. Xiangqi: ?

Most of the customers said "I want it all" after turning over a few pages of a thick book, which made Mrs. Xiangqi very happy.

"The ones who can come to the magic fair are really big dogs." Cecil sighed.

"Another reason is that we are too cheap." Langdon laughed.

"Hmph, it's shameless to engage in such trivial tricks all day long!" Brian said.

Cecil has now learned to automatically block Brian from speaking. After all, the "battle" in the arena is extremely fierce, and some customers even fought over a floor-length silk dress.The "little couple" who made the advertisement slipped away quietly, and re-staged different plots in another place. The actor, the skill is not shallow.

At the venue, someone noticed other "colors".

"Is this all your colors?" A rather impressive lady raised her chin and said proudly, "It's all covered."

"Thank you for your patronage!" The salesperson in charge of eyeshadow was very happy, "Do you want to see our blush?"

"Any other gadgets, let's bring them together."

The lady sat down and looked at the green tea in the white porcelain cup while waiting for the salesperson to bring the make-up. She tried to smell it and was satisfied with the sweetness of honey. Cecil had already figured out the taste of the natives. As long as it is sweet, there will be no bad reviews, even if it tastes particularly bad to him.

The waiting area where the noble lady sits is separated by a screen. On the round table are silver spoons, three-layered desserts inlaid with gold and white porcelain trays, teacups, and teapots. The afternoon tea is complete. Cecil is still very grateful to the Taobao merchants for their meticulous photography. The angle is comprehensive and the texture is clear, and it is super convenient for him to copy it.

Eye shadows are of course produced in many colors. Finding suitable dye mines cannot be counted on the Magic Food Alliance. Cecil has released a lot of mining quests in the Adventurer’s Association, which cost a lot of money. Similarly, for him to bring Considerable mineral resources.

Unfortunately, most of these resources are distributed on the other side of the bay. The prairie where Yuecheng is located is extremely short of colored minerals, which makes the cost of using mineral colors skyrocket. Mines are not the same as plants and cannot be transplanted. For this reason, Cecil Had a real argument with Russell for a while.

Facts have proved that Cecil's prediction was correct.

A box of essentially just two shades arranged in different shades is enough to attract attention.Not only ladies, many scattered buyers buy several boxes, just one red, peach red, wine red, pink, orange, water red, pumpkin red, all of which are indispensable, "Spring Powder Bud", "Long Love Idol" and "Qingbo Gemstone" come with one, and bulk buyers will buy the whole set directly. If you don't buy a whole set, you will lose your reputation.

"It's so stupid, isn't it all red?!" Brian took a look at a box of eye shadow, "Why did you buy two sets of the same color?"

"One is pearlescent and the other is matte." Cecil proficiently announced the names. Makeup and skin care are the scopes he is familiar with. Shopping for part-time jobs while working on a cruise ship is quite a part-time job. "In the future, we can also develop dry skin and oily skin." For eye shadows, new ones must be launched at any time according to the seasons, the packaging must be changed, and the name must also be reinvented.”

The eye shadows in the world are all magic products and require special magic containers. Most of them are ordinary boxes. At most, different colors are packaged outside the box, because the magic container is difficult to change, and even if you want to change it, the cost is too high. its own value.

Cecil specifically asked Mrs. Xiangqi to find someone to design the makeup box. Crystals, gems, dried flowers, pearls, and precious woods were all assembled. Some boxes cost more than eye shadows, so he didn’t care. Worry about sales.

The make-up was sold out within 15 minutes, and the ready-to-wear, leather shoes, purses, and fans were all only defective products. The salesperson in charge of recording the order was already hoarse, and was surrounded by many big firms. Otherwise, it will be too noisy to hear clearly.

The lady behind the screen was admiring the make-up slowly, and was very satisfied with the special treatment in her heart. When she had bought all she could buy, the salesperson smiled and said: "You are our special guest, in order to thank you for your support, this A set of afternoon tea sets is considered a shopping gift, please accept it."

The lady was taken aback, looked at the gold-plated white porcelain tableware in her hand, and showed a surprised expression for the first time: "This is a gift?" She was so surprised because the local magic white porcelain is much more expensive than makeup clothes.

"Yes." The salesperson said respectfully, "It's just some insignificant gifts, specially provided for valued customers like you. In the afternoon, you can invite a few girlfriends and friends to taste desserts and treats in the sunny garden Afternoon tea, if you need it, we can provide a full range of services, and professionals are responsible for meeting all your preferences."

The salesperson is digging a hole for Moyer. "Banquet Etiquette Company" does have afternoon tea service for wealthy families, but it is in Luoye Bay, with a cheap and fast public transportation system. It is better to change to the west, near the Eb Tunnel , further away can only go through the magic door, the cost is rising, it is impossible to do it at all!

However, the salesperson doesn't care. It is the truth to fool the customers with big words first.

Just as the sales genius guessed, the lady doesn't know what "afternoon tea" and "dessert" are at all. She doesn't even understand what tea is. This green water and colorful desserts are used to set off the white porcelain.

"You mean, these are for food?" The lady frowned, "Non-magical makeup and clothes are fine, but eating ordinary food makes me question the standard of your bank."

"Hehehehe." The salesperson hid the contempt in his heart, and then said with a low eyebrow, "If you try it, you will definitely not think so." She held up a white plate with cheese frosting, "Look, this Such white food represents the gift of winter. It is the purest natural creation, and it melts in your mouth, allowing you to experience coolness and sweetness in this hot and dry season. This kind of superfood must be taken with gold and silver. Please rest assured, if If there is any sign of illness, our bank is responsible for inviting Master Owen to treat you. In fact, Master Owen is also a consultant of our bank, and guarantees that all products will not have any source of disease!"

...It's all nonsense!

The noble lady hesitated for a while, but after the salesperson handed over the pure gold spoon, she still succumbed to curiosity, took a small spoon and dug a small piece into her mouth, after that... there was no more.

This sweet and soft cake instantly conquered the lady's tongue and heart. As a place where yaks are raised on the plateau, Cecil's research on desserts is very smooth. Coupled with the business needs of the "Banquet Etiquette Company", desserts Blooming everywhere in Luoye Bay.

The desserts provided by the sales staff were extremely small, only three pieces in total, and they drank some tea after eating—it was almost as if they hadn’t eaten!

The lady put down the teacup, wiped her mouth with a newly purchased silk handkerchief, and asked with satisfaction, "When will the afternoon tea service be available?"

Corrosion-resistant steel is not ready for production yet. To some extent, it is a strategic material, especially Cecil is trying to do alcohol purification experiments. Once alcohol and penicillin are available, trauma and many infection symptoms will be eliminated. Complete cure, then is the time to "kill the Quartet".

Cecil really brought wine with him this time, but it’s all low-alcohol, as well as fruit wine and floral wine, which are almost as sweet as drinks. Unfortunately, glass hasn’t been researched yet, let alone mass-produced. Alcohol was difficult to carry and store, so Cecil only brought some in bamboo tubes, and had to use magic to keep it fresh.

Seeing that the stock was almost sold out, and Cecil was full of ambition, two "actors" who made small advertisements squeezed out from the crowd. The man looked panicked, and the woman was quite calm, but said It is impossible to calm people down: "The people from the magic beauty firm are here."

This time, Cecil was robbing the way of the "Magic Beauty Company", and he immediately became alert, for fear that the other party would be like the Magic Carriage Company, who would come up and shout for beating and killing.

After a while, the two women dressed in extremely fashionable clothes——from Cecil’s point of view, they were all fashionable. They wore water on their bodies, and it flowed and circulated continuously, just like real water flow, but the emphasis was hidden. Clean, very dignified and elegant - where they walked, the men gave way and the women whispered, and they walked all the way to the Green Bank Elf's booth.

After entering the arena, the Green Bank elves remained barely calm. When a large number of customers rushed over, they shrank back to the depths of the booth. This was thanks to Cecil's repeated greetings in advance, and they were mentally prepared, otherwise they would have to be scared crazy No.At this time, when they saw two figures who were obviously magicians approaching, they immediately became nervous again. Some Green Bank elves had already picked up their bows and arrows.

Cecil was also nervous, but he still had to maintain his superficial skills. In fact, he had scratched Langdon's hand.At this time, he was pretending to be a clerk, and his substitute was standing with Mrs. Shanzie. Langdon also hid his real appearance. Only Brian refused to change his appearance.

"A real hero never hides his face!" Brian said so, and no one could cure him. Fortunately, although he did this, he did not forcefully expose Cecil and Langdon, but only glanced at Langdon's plain face from time to time. Qi's fake face, a look of contempt.

Cecil has inquired that there are no such giants as the Magic Carriage Firm in the field of beauty and clothing, but there are many firms and workshops. Dilute the brand image, never willing to give a famous name.

The two beauties from the magic beauty firm looked left and right calmly, neither asked nor raised any doubts. Instead, they tried several kinds of makeup with great interest. In the end, they wanted to buy some products. There is nothing left, so I have to order samples from the salesperson.

"What are they doing?" Cecil asked suspiciously, "Finding trouble?"

"Thinking too much, I think it is more likely to buy our products and copy them back." Langdon said.

"Oh—" Cecil relaxed.

The products of Yuecheng are not afraid of copycats at all. Using magic to counterfeit ordinary products is to sing a big show with a millstone-it is thankless, and it is absolutely impossible to make profits. Moreover, with the emergence of scale, assembly lines and thermal power, Ceci The current prices of all of Er's products can be further reduced, and he is not afraid of homogenized magic products at all.

The sales on the first day were extremely impressive. You must know that all the income is magic coins, which can be said to be a profit of [-]% when converted into metal coins.

Cecil met Mrs. Xiangqi who was "off work". This woman who had always maintained an elegant image actually held his hand with a look of tears on her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Mrs. Xiangqi said tearfully, "You are really good at making money!"

Cecil laughed dryly.

"Are you willing to marry a wife? The Xiangqi family is not qualified to covet a queen, and a countess is also very good." Mrs. Xiangqi said enthusiastically.

Before Cecil had time to refuse, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine.Turning his head slowly, he saw Langdon standing a step away and smiling.

"No, no, no, I like men!" Cecil said loudly immediately, "Only handsome men can satisfy me!"

"Really? What a pity." Mrs. Shanzi took a look at Langdon, let go of her decisively and left, leaving Cecil alone to face the big cat.

That night, Cecil felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and the big cat was very... cute, really irresistible!

Maibeitan’s magic expo was very short. The last time Cecil participated in it was only three days. The conflicts, conspiracies or arrests he expected did not appear. In fact, there is nothing to do today. Except for one person staying at the booth to record the pre-order order, everyone else went out to hang out.

Cecil and Langdon, who had concealed their true colors, went to see the magic battle performance of the gay knights. The gay knights who came did not know any of them. They were all young and full of vigor, and they looked as green as fresh apples. The desire to drip, coupled with the gorgeous uniforms, really attracted a large number of women. Flowers, handkerchiefs and screams continued to appear, creating a lively atmosphere.

In contrast, the performance of the Alliance of Holy Knights was full of masculinity, and the sound of ho-ha kept ringing, which attracted frequent applause from the men onlookers. Screaming while touching chest and twisting buttocks...

Seeing the angry faces of the paladins, Cecil struggled to hold back his laughter.

This time, only Langdon came to the Magic Fair. With so many affairs in Moon City, it is not enough to keep the two couples alone. It is impossible to take away all the leaders, although Cecil has tried his best to establish In the modern government structure, there are still too many things. Some things, except Cecil, do not understand how to do them at all. This is the gap caused by knowledge and vision, and there is no way.

The Gay Knights and the Holy Knights Alliance have come up with something that has something to do with magic. The people of Highgarden are more casual. When Cecil was looking for the booth of the Highgarden Elf, he found that there was only one person lying on a table. Sleeping on the small table, he somehow woke up the other party, and got a sleepy question: "Who are you looking for?"

"Uh..." Cecil was wearing makeup at this time, so he couldn't say he knew someone, so he had to pretend to be authentic, "Where are you from? Are you a seller?"

This Highgarden elf's appearance is elf's unique slenderness. His hair...was shaved off. At least he finally put on his clothes. He was looking at Cecil with the eyes of a fool: "You don't know where I am?"

"Yes." Cecil pretended to be curious, "What are you doing at the Magic Fair?"

"Let me confirm again, you don't know who I am, do you?"

"do not know."

"OK, all right."

After speaking, the High Court Elf stood up, put the chair on the small table, pushed it to the side of the booth, and left.

Cecil stood foolishly in front of the empty booth for a while, until Langdon's laughter brought him back to reality: "What are you doing, these people!"

"The elves in Highgarden are like this." Langdon smiled happily. "They just do whatever they want, and they can do whatever they want. They are invited to the Magic Fair every year, and every year they come to directly set up a table and chairs, nothing at all."

"Then why are people here?" Cecil asked puzzled.

"There will be a lot of people here, and the main purpose is to meet interesting people and discover interesting things." Langdon said, "That's the kind of people they are."

Cecil: "..."

Well, if the Green Bank elves were half as free and easy as the Highgarden elves, they wouldn't be so nervous.

On the evening of the third day, the Green Bank elves finally relaxed a bit. These days, they counted people almost all the time to confirm that no one was taken away or "lost", for fear that there would be no one inexplicably. Fortunately, none of this happened However, the mages that Langdon invited as bodyguards followed the Green Bank Elf, and Langdon personally protected him.

Everything seemed to be going well, until late at night on the third day, a dull loud noise woke up many people from their sleep.

When Cecil woke up, Langdon was throwing a piece of clothing on him: "Hurry up!"

"What's the matter?" Cecil turned upside down. The weather in June is neither cold nor hot, and it won't freeze at night without clothes, but it's not very elegant. "The St. Paniers did it?"

"Probably." Langdon gave a vague answer, "However, I don't think so."

"what have you found?"

Langdon's expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "The magic energy is skyrocketing."
