Chapter 34 The third purpose, Katerina’s thoughts(1/2)
After arranging a guest room for Katerina, Mavie closed the door.
The Potion Grocery Store was formerly a restaurant. It was demolished and rebuilt in the back. There were many empty rooms. Levin, Daniel and Edward all lived here at that time. Now Edward has moved into the Black Castle, and Levin stays up all day and night looking for Helena.
, Daniel ran to the workshop to conduct research with scientists....
The originally lively grocery store became much deserted at night, but because it was very busy, there was no time to feel sad. Besides, Levin and the others did not come back, and occasionally they would come to the Potion Grocery Store to stay for a few days.
Fat Orange and Xiao Hei are the most diligent at home, and you can see them every night.
In the kitchen, Mavey opened the cabinet and looked around and found that they were all cans. Mrs. Cecil heard that Katerina and Arthur were going to have dinner at home tonight, so she picked up the vegetable basket and was about to go out to buy groceries. Mavey just in time
He grabbed her and said, "I'm going to buy groceries. Just boil some hot water."
"Father, do you want to cook yourself?"
"You can never forget that craftsmanship is not."
Ma Wei smiled, and took Yunia to the Flower Street Market to buy the ingredients for dinner. In order not to cause a sensation, disguise is necessary. The status of the Pope is noble, but sometimes it can become an obstacle to listening to the people's voices.
, only by living with the residents personally can we understand the real needs of the people.
The market in the evening is the busiest time of the day when people come and go. The seafood at this time is the cheapest, with prices reduced by nearly one-third from those in the morning. However, seafood in the Kingdom of Windsor is already very cheap, even if it is reduced by one-third.
It doesn't feel like anything, it's just that three pennies have become two pennies.
Not finding the fish he wanted, Ma Wei gave up the idea of cooking fish. On the contrary, the beef was very fresh. It had just been slaughtered and the bright red meat legs were still beating slightly.
"Do you want to eat beef fried with onions?" Mawei asked Yunia.
"Okay! I like to eat whatever daddy makes! As long as it's not canned!"
"Boss, cut five pounds of beef, and I want rump."
"okay!"
After weighing the beef and paying for it, Mawei went to buy a hen, eggs, potatoes, and onions, all of which can be stored for a long time. It was enough to stew chicken soup and stir-fry a few side dishes. It was too grand.
It's not necessary. I've long been tired of eating state banquets, and I just kept going over and over again with those few dishes...
After buying groceries, Mavey took Yunia back to the grocery store. The grocery store was closed today and there were no customers. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Katerina walking in front of the containers.
"Your Majesty, aren't you sleeping?"
"After resting for a while, I'm awake."
Mawei glanced at the clock on the wall. It had been an hour since he went out to buy groceries. It would be about the same for him to take a light sleep.
"what are you planning to do?"
Katerina came up and looked at the ingredients in the basket and asked.
"Cooking some home-cooked food. Do you have any taboos? Do you want to eat beef?"
"I have to eat beef." Katerina rolled her eyes: "I don't eat broccoli and grapes, and I like raw coriander juice the most."
Raw coriander juice...the taste is quite strong...
Ma Wei also likes to eat coriander, but he will most likely not be able to drink raw coriander juice. That thing is simply anti-human.
"Are you interested in potions?"
Seeing Katerina walking back and forth in front of the cabinet where the potions were placed, Ma Wei asked casually.
The potions sold in grocery stores have long been brought to all parts of the world by the Manstein Potion Company. Even the blood of mercury is open to all countries that have joined the Northern Alliance. As for the potions in the cabinet, there is nothing unusual about them.
It's some ordinary stuff.
If there is anything interesting, it is most likely something that Ma Wei has tinkered with before.
For example, he ground the rhizomes of Splendens splendens and honeysuckle into powder, added the liquor soaked in the venom sacs of red-tailed scorpions and kneaded it into a ball, then added a few drops of dragon's blood... and made a small pill that can make people feel refreshed.
I can't sleep for three days after taking one pill, and I may sleep for three days straight afterwards.
Ma Wei made a lot of little things like this kind of pills. They were all discovered accidentally. The same is true for magic potion recipes. Before mixing various materials, no one knew what they would make. Some of them were eaten.
It may be fatal, and some may have miraculous effects...
Just gambling.
But Ma Wei, who is protected by the realm of immortality, does not have to pay the price even if he loses the bet.
Many of the magic potions developed by Ma Wei are only sold in grocery stores. They are purely handmade and will be gone when they are sold out. When Ma Wei replenishes them depends on his mood. If he has some free time and is in a good mood, he may make some and put them in the cabinet.
Katerina's arrival was coincidental, as Ma Wei had just replenished the store's supplies yesterday.
"Do you know the price of such a magic potion?" Katerina said, pointing to the glass bottle containing dragon blood honey pills in the cabinet.
Ma Wei thought for a while: "It seems to be 20 gold pounds each."
"20 gold pounds was the price half a month ago, and the latest price yesterday was 25 gold pounds per pill." Katerina said: "You underestimate the potion made by the Pope himself. If the grocery store hadn't been open today,
These potions have been sold out a long time ago, and people buy them not just to eat them, but to collect them!"
"No wonder there are queues outside every day... They are scalpers in love..."
Ma Wei muttered, took out the key and threw it to Katerina: "You can see for yourself, I'm going to make dinner."
Watching Mavey enter the kitchen, Katerina glanced at the keys in her hand and walked towards the door to the cellar behind the counter. As she approached, an invisible tentacle suddenly wrapped around her body.
Keep her away from the cellar.
"You are Muir, a supernatural being who can become invisible, Yggeklis...right?"
Katerina had obviously heard Ma Wei mention Muir, the only extraordinary race that can become invisible, living in the gap between death and reality - the land of mist.
Come, Ma Wei can't persuade it to stay.
Muir, who met Katerina for the first time, was confused when he heard her calling his name. Katerina was very friendly and asked Bodelinov to bring out the silver melon seeds produced by Aylan.
He smiled and said, "This is a meeting gift. I want to make friends with you."
【friend...】
"Yes, friend, Father Mavey is also my friend. You should have seen his attitude towards me just now."
Indeed, Mavey's attitude towards Katerina was very friendly, and Katerina did not deceive Muir. Everyone was really on their own. Muir, who was simple-minded, stayed in the grocery store and rarely had contact with outsiders.
Telina was willing to be friends with it, and even gave it a gift, showing great joy.
"I want to visit the cellar. You see, this is the key that Father Marvey gave me. He agreed."
Taking out the key and shaking it in the air, Muir believed Katerina even more. He let go of the tentacles wrapped around his body, rolled up the silver melon seeds in the box and hid aside to eat them. After eating, he also rolled up a football.
He threw it at Katerina's feet and wanted to play games with her.
"Bodelinov, you play with it."
"yes!"
After getting rid of Muir, Katerina took the key to the cellar door, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently.
Click!
There was a slight sound of unlocking, and Katerina pushed open the cellar door, picked up the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, walked along the stone stairs, and walked into the cellar alone.
The cellar is where the grocery store stores goods. Since the establishment of the Manstein Potion Company, Mavey rarely transports raw materials here, but there are still many special items stored here, such as soul ointment and living spirits.
Rare materials such as statues and mermaid tears.
In today's London, it goes without saying that security is very high. Coupled with Muir's protection, no one can invade the cellar silently. What's more, the things stored in the cellar are only rare, not unique. It really depends on the degree of rarity. Guarding the cellar
Muir is no more rare than mermaid tears and living statues?
Who would take the extreme risk to invade a grocery store?
It’s a thankless effort!
If you have the ability to invade a grocery store, you might as well steal the treasure room of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow!
Even so, the treasures stored in the cellar are enough to make countless people jealous. For example, a drop of mermaid tears can be sold for 1,000 gold pounds. The price on the black market is even higher. If ordinary people get it, they can turn over overnight and live without worries.
Life.
The dim light illuminated the wooden box, and the cellar was filled with sundries. Living statues, soul ointments, and even glass bottles containing mermaid tears were placed randomly on the wooden shelves. Other valuable raw materials were piled on the hay-filled floor.
In the box, Katerina glanced around and came to the deepest wooden frame.
Staring at the potted rose in front of her, Katerina finally showed a slight fluctuation in her dark blue eyes. Katerina put the kerosene lamp aside and carefully reached out her hand to touch the red petals of the potted plant in front of her.
With a light touch, the petals retracted, as if they were alive.
Obsessed with flowers!
The only pot of obsession flower in the world!
The obsessive flower needs to be fed with the infatuation potion regularly, and the formula of the infatuated potion is in the hands of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. When running for the potion dealer, Archbishop Brandon gave it to Ma Wei.
Ma Wei collected all the materials, made the Obsession Flower, and successfully won the bid to be the potion dealer of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.
Those who can afford it don't need it, and those who want it can't afford it. It's very useless. At the same time, Ma Wei doesn't want things like the obsession potion to have a negative impact, so there has been no publicity. The only pot he made,
It is also stored in the cellar of the grocery store.
Freya wanted to spend a lot of money to buy it, but was rejected by Ma Wei.
