The business of the Hex Bird Report is truly booming. It's easy to see why: being able to cover interesting information from all parts of Daoyuan definitely crushes the traditional market. However, being able to establish a foothold in Hedan and thrive so well is undoubtedly due to Ma Zhe's abilities. He surely needs to balance the interests of the local Church and the nobility.

Now, the work is divided into two parts, with the main focus on the journalist role. As for the Lirong Inn, he only manages the soy sauce there. Anyway, Ma Liu is enough to hold the flag high, and the Dragon Mother should recruit a few assistants for him; she can't be too stingy. It seems Ma Liu truly loves the Dragon Mother, working like his life depends on it, without any sign of slacking - the kind of employee every capitalist dreams of.

Li Xin did not take a carriage back. He strolled around the Saint's Grace District, which is one of the main districts where the Monkaleta people live. The prosperity here is remarkable, with various beautifully shaped buildings standing tall. Even from the perspective of someone like him, who once pointed out the pros and cons of the world online, he had to praise it. It's apparent that the ability of the people here can indeed bring some imagination to fruition.

Upon returning to the Lirong Inn, Li Xin explained the situation to the Dragon Mother, who wasn't very surprised, "Ah Xin, you're progressing well, which is great. Dragon Mother has always been good to you, so you can stay here. It'll also be convenient if anything comes up."

"Dragon Mother, I don't plan to move. Ma Liu has already mastered the Dragon Talk job, and we also need to scale back later. After all, the freshness is only temporary; the oil residue and diced chicken are easy to imitate." Li Xin said.

"I understand this," the Dragon Mother laughed, "Don't you still have your unique family recipe for soy sauce? This is the key. I'm not coveting your ancestral secret formula, but without it, Dragon Mother's business would collapse. You know, it's not easy for a single woman like Dragon Mother to survive out there."

The Dragon Mother looked at Li Xin with teary eyes, her big red lips trembling slightly. Li Xin couldn't really feel the aura of a delicate woman; this presence seemed like it could punch a strong man to death with one blow.

"Ahem, Dragon Mother, this soy sauce is indeed passed down from our Li family, holding extraordinary significance for us," Li Xin said with difficulty.

Of course, the Dragon Mother and the others did not believe that Li Xin could have managed this on his own; one glance was enough to tell it was an ancestral secret formula. This kind of secret recipe is usually cherished by the older generations, while the younger ones focus more on their current life. With her sharp eyes, Dragon Mother could tell there was room for negotiation.

"Ah Xin, you are a journalist now, and you'll need to spend money on social engagements in the future. Your future is limitless, so how can you be confined to the kitchen? What you lack most now is the lira, right? Dragon Mother will not shortchange you. Name your price. As long as it's reasonable, Dragon Mother will not bargain!" the Dragon Mother thumped her chest and promised confidently.

Li Xin was silent for a moment, showing a difficult expression, "Dragon Mother, perhaps this is fate. I'm a straightforward person; one price, 2000 lira, plus the right to use my current room for a year."

Actually, whether there's soy sauce or not, Li Xin thinks he can benefit from it. The price he set is negotiable. Right now, he needs to present himself well; even the cost of carriage is quite significant, and he can't always expect to get favors for free when dealing with Simmons in the future.

"Alright, as you said!" The Dragon Mother immediately agreed, taking out a document. It was a Moncalleta contract, inscribed with the rune of the Earth Mother Goddess, possessing supreme authority. In Moncalleta, it's not just the Council Hall, but faith itself that cannot be violated. This was well-prepared.

The Dragon Mother, knowing that Li Xin had received a telegram and was going to be interviewed by the Hex Bird Report, felt that the God of Wealth would fly. The fact that he knows Simmons and can use a telegram means the interview is just a formality. This kid is bound to soar sooner or later. As long as the price wasn't too high, she accepted it, hoping to make a friend. She might even need his help someday. Originally worried Li Xin would move away, she's happier than ever that he's willing to stay.

Li Xin was also direct, signing his name and pressing his fingerprint. The contract, one copy for each party, was completed. Li Xin received 1 golden lira and 10 silver lire, and the Dragon Mother reminded him to keep them safe, as she wouldn't be responsible if they were lost.

Fiddling with the golden lira, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, a particularly pleasant feeling. "Dragon Mother, I'll still help out in the kitchen when I have time."

"Though our time together hasn't been long, Dragon Mother doesn't misjudge people. Ah Xin, you're reliable. Dragon Mother has been around her fair share, and she knows quite a few courses within the George District. If you encounter anything during your interviews, just tell Dragon Mother." The Dragon Mother, holding the contract, was also relieved.

She finally gained control of the core technology, the secret of soy sauce. "Not to be nosy, but the influence of the George Family in Hedan is substantial. Young master Simmons is one of the heirs of the George Family; with his help, your development in Hedan will be much smoother."

"Dragon Mother, I understand. Friends are important outside. I'll definitely reach out to him." Li Xin smiled. Both parties were satisfied with this transaction and were also wary of the other reneging, so they finalized the deal on the same day. The delighted Dragon Mother even decided to treat everyone to drinks after the Dragon Talk night market closed.

Her generosity stunned David and the others. Naturally, Dariel and others felt that the Dragon Mother only truly wanted to treat David. Her gaze was so intense it was hard to look away.

The taverns in Moncalleta were quite lively. In the taverns of the Celestial Capital, men mostly dominated. Any woman appearing there either had a special profession or a unique status. In contrast, in the Hedan taverns, there were more women, dressed provocatively, with captivating glances and excellent figures. Women from the Celestial Capital are very reserved, while the women of Moncalleta are known for their passion and romance. If they take a liking to someone, they can be quite proactive. At the same time, this is where men showcase their charm and compare themselves with others.
