“Mr. Mag.”
As noon was approaching, the sound of the door knocking and Gina’s voice were heard.
Mag opened the door, and Gina walked in with Elizabeth, empty-handed.
“Gina, didn’t you go to collect shark’s fins?” Mag looked out. There were no shark’s fins outside.
“Mr. Mag, you’re really Gina’s benefactor.” Gina pounced at Mag agitatedly and wrapped her legs around him like an octopus naturally.
“Hm?” Baffled, Mag looked at Gina who was hugging him agitatedly.
“With the help of the magical weapon, the Nether Sharks who invaded Lantisde were all killed by our people. According to your wishes, the remaining ones were all kept in a fish farm to rear. There were almost no deaths among the merfolk during this invasion, and none of the cities were badly damaged by the Nether Sharks.
“This was all possible because of you!”
Gina looked up at Mag as though she was looking at an honorable and respectable god.
“That’s great.” Mag’s eyes also lit up when he heard that. It was great that the merfolk of Lantisde would not have to be slaughtered by the Nether Sharks, and the deep-sea fish farm also successfully established the supply chain for Nether Shark’s fins and lips.
How did he do that? He could actually subdue such a powerful magic beast and solve the problem a powerful race could not solve for centuries. Elizabeth looked at Mag curiously as though it was her first time knowing him.
She had originally thought that he was just an ordinary human chef who came to Mamy Restaurant to work because Miya invited him to.
Now, she did not think that Mag seemed like an ordinary human. Whether it was his calmness when facing powerful customers or the negotiation with the high priest of Lantisde on the ocean surface, all of them seemed to reveal the extraordinary side of him.
This man seemed to be hiding a lot of abilities, making people constantly surprised and curious.
“But, where are the shark’s fins?” Mag asked Gina.
“Oh.” Gina quickly let go of Mag and pulled out a small blue crystal ball with a smile as she said, “Because there were too many shark’s fins, I couldn’t bring all of them back, so the high priest passed me this crystal ball so that I can use it to store the shark’s lips and shark’s fins.”
Mag looked at the crystal ball the size of a marble in Gina’s hand. It was azure blue like the vast ocean. It did look similar to the crystal ball that the high priest had with him, just a lot smaller. It seemed like it was also a space magical tool.
“You said that there were a lot, how many?” Mag asked.
Gina thought for a while, and answered, “Around 500 sets. If I were to let them all out, it could fill this entire kitchen up.”
Mag observed a moment of silence for the Nether Shark tribe. After that, he looked at Gina and said, “Then take 50 sets out first. I need to roast them dry. I still have to make two more ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ today.”
“I’m here for work.” Camilla pushed the door open and entered. She glanced and greeted everyone casually and walked straight into the kitchen. When she saw no one in the kitchen, she turned back to look at Mag in surprise, and asked, “Where’s Miss Firis? The one who taught me to cut the vegetables.”
Mag looked at Camilla, and said, “She left. From today onwards, you will be fully in charge of the preparation of the ingredients. Your job title: junior chopper.
“L-left?” Camilla was stunned. She pointed at the list of ingredients at the side and raised her pitch. “That would mean that I have to cut all these vegetables up by myself?”
Mag replied, “That’s Firis’s job every day. If you find it too difficult, I can do a small part of it.”
Camilla waved her hand, and confidently said, “Hmph, no need for that. It’s such a simple job, why would it be too difficult for me?”
Mag glanced at his watch, and said, “There’s still an hour before we start our business. You can start now.”
“Hmph.” Camilla snorted. She went upstairs to get changed, and then quickly entered the kitchen. She grabbed 10 knives and started slicing the ingredients.
…
“From tomorrow morning onwards, our restaurant will provide free breakfast for the cleaners.”
Mag made the announcement during lunch.
“For free, that means we won’t be collecting money from them?” Yabemiya said in shock.
The rest also looked at Mag. That would not be a small sum of money judging from the prices on Mamy Restaurant’s menu.
Mag nodded slightly. “The cleaners start their work at 4 am. The weather is so cold, but they can only have breakfast that is frozen like ice, and they don’t even have a sip of warm water to drink. I felt that I should do something about it, so I went to the person-in-charge to discuss providing breakfast for them at least until the winter is over.”
“They’re so pitiful. I even saw an old man fall in the snow previously. Luckily I managed to dodge in time, and the uncle at the side helped him to the hospital. I haven’t seen him after that,” Amy said sympathetically.
Mag looked at Amy in shock. He did not think that he was once so close to bankruptcy.
“Boss, at what time do we provide breakfast? Is it the same as the restaurant’s operating hours?” Yabemiya asked.
“No, we agreed on 7 am every morning, but I have already settled everything. There’s no need for you all to worry. Your working hours will not change,” Mag said with a shake of his head.
“Boss, you’re such a nice person.” Yabemiya gave Mag a thumbs up with a smile as she said, “Then I will come to the restaurant earlier from tomorrow morning onwards too.”
Is this fellow trying to make himself look better? Those humans sweeping the floor aren’t even slaves. It’s just a job, what’s there to be pitiful about them? Camilla glanced at Mag and pouted in disdain. Humans just like to make a mountain out of a molehill.
“My working hours will be the same as Miya’s,” Elizabeth said coldly.
“Since you’re coming early, then… I will get more sleep. The bed is so comfortable in winter I don’t even want to get up,” Babla said.
“I… I will… wake up early.” Gina raised her hand as she stuttered the words of the common tongue out before she gave Mag a big smile.
“I’ll wake up early too.” Anna raised her little hand as well.
Amy thought for a while, and seriously said, “Since you’re all going to wake up early, I will sleep in a little more for you. Otherwise, you will all be lethargic.”
“Meow.” Ugly Duckling put its two front paws on Amy’s stool and meowed at her.
“It’s alright, Ugly Duckling, I will sleep in for you too. Feel free to wake up early,” Amy consoled.
