Chapter 1852: You… Are Really A Business Genius
The Mamy Restaurant’s entourage naturally became all the vendors’ center of attention when they arrived at the venue.
“See, everyone. Mamy Restaurant’s staff are all so beautiful. There are elves, demons, and lady orcs. This boss is really something?!” The young staff from the neighboring booths were all enchanted.
Their bosses looked at their own rugged staff with a twisted expression, and said, “They are… they are just so-so.”
“Boss, you are jealous again.”
“Shut up! I’ll fire you if you talk nonsense again, and change to pretty girls.”
“Calm down, Boss… With my pay, you can only get a woman who looks like me even if you fire me. Maybe I am even a better worker.”

“I want to go and work at Mamy Restaurant.” A young male staff member in the next booth looked at the Mamy Restaurant’s booth expectantly.
“Wake up. They only employ pretty girls and maidens. You are neither pretty nor qualified,” his colleague said hurtfully.
“Maybe I could still try it out.” That young man still tried to persevere.
“Just go and try. There are some things you need to try before you know if you can or can’t.” His colleague nodded.
“You like pretty girls?” A sinister voice came from behind them.
The two staff members paled at the same, and they turned around with a sullen look.
“I’m only thinking about it.” The little worker smiled embarrassedly.
“Boss, I didn’t think about anything.” The other worker quickly extricated himself from this sticky situation.
“Then go and do your job properly if you are not thinking about it.” The boss with golden teeth hugged the tall and lanky worker, and walked to the side.
“B-Boss, I’m not thinking about it now.” The worker had a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
“No, you’ve got to think about it. Which man doesn’t like pretty girls? I like them too.” The boss had an increasingly bright smile.
The worker continued to smile bitterly.
The boss brought the young worker to one side, and whispered to him, “I know you have a talent for cooking, and the chef said you can be groomed. You are different from the other blockheads. I’m giving you a task right now. I’ll promote you and give you a raise if you complete it. I’ll make sure that you can find yourself a pretty girl in the future.”
The worker threw a glance at his boss. He thought he was going to be fired, but the boss didn’t scold him. Instead, he even wanted to promote him and give him a raise?
He didn’t quite believe it.
The boss saw through his doubts. He patted his shoulders, and said, “You don’t believe it? If you complete this task for me, you will be in charge of half of the kitchen, and enjoy equal status with your master in the future.”
“Really?” The worker’s eyes lit up. He had suffered quite a bit learning from his master all these years. He was scolded and beaten at his master’s whim. Although he had learned quite a bit, he had been wondering when he could finally graduate from this life. He didn’t expect the boss to toss up such enticing terms. “Please say it, Boss. I will do whatever you tell me to do.”
“Smart kid.” Big Gold Teeth nodded with satisfaction. He got closer, and said, “Apparently, the Mamy Restaurant’s boss said he will publicize four recipes today, and conduct on-the-spot teaching. You don’t have to come to work today, just take a little notebook, and stand at the Mamy Restaurant’s booth for the whole day. As long as you can learn 60% of those four dishes, you will be the second-in-command of the kitchen tomorrow.”
“I promise to complete this mission.” The worker’s eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly before he started to walk to Mamy Restaurant’s booth.
“Wait a sec.” Big Gold Teeth quickly stopped him. He rolled his eyes, and said, “There are no customers now, and you are going to walk over in your uniform. Isn’t it obvious that you are going over there to copy him?”
The worker looked down at his uniform, and then scratched his head embarrassedly. “I was too excited, so I didn’t notice.”
“Go back and change first. Take this money, and buy a few products to try it out later. Learn carefully. Get lost if you can’t get the taste right.” Big Gold Teeth gave him two gold coins before asking him to scram.
The worker kept the gold coins carefully before skipping away. He had already begun to imagine getting a promotion and a raise, marrying a pretty girl and attaining the peak of his life.
It wasn’t a secret that Mag was going to publicize his recipes and conduct on-the-spot teaching. All the other restaurants were having ideas. They didn’t want to miss this opportunity where they could copy his recipes openly. Regardless of how much they could learn, they had to know how to make it at least.
“What is that booth displaying? They are so densely packed and look scary.”
“Looks like octopus tentacles. I heard that the new products released by Boss Mag two days ago were using octopus tentacle as the main ingredient. The response is rather positive.”
“Then, what does he intend to do by displaying the ingredient in a booth alone? Selling the ingredient directly?”
The booth that was filled with octopus tentacles attracted a lot of attention.
Yabemiya looked at the price tag that she was about to put up, and softly asked, “Boss, is this octopus tentacle too cheap? The seafood that we rarely come across in the market usually costs hundreds of copper coins for one helping.”
“Our objective is not to earn money, but to let more people enjoy delicious food. The price of 50 copper coins could let more people from the low-income bracket enjoy it occasionally,” Mag said with a smile.
Boss is so awesome. My perspective is way inferior to his. Yabemiya looked at Mag with admiration gleaming in her eyes. She soon put up the banner.
“The shocking trial price for Little Sys Seafood Shop’s freshly frozen octopus tentacle—50 copper coins for 500 grams! Everyone is limited to 500 grams or one piece. Please proceed to the Little Sys Seafood Shop at the Aden’s Market’s entrance if you want to purchase more!”
Yes. It was such a blatant direction of sales.
He was doing advertisements at the best position in the Delicacy Extravaganza’s exhibition hall, and conducting on-the-spot cooking lessons. Mag felt that he would be the top salesperson in the culinary world if he could go back to his original world.
Soon after, Robert specially came over to greet Mag. His expression obviously froze when he saw the booth that was full of octopus tentacles. However, he soon recovered his warm smile. “Are you ready, Boss Mag?”
Mag pretended not to see the change in his expression, and continued to speak with a smile. “Yes. There’s not much variety, so the preparation is much easier.”
Anyway, Robert was also using him and Mamy Restaurant as the Delicacy Extravaganza’s selling point, so it made them even.
“The Delicacy Extravaganza is seven days long, and there will be a best dish award for the Delicacy Extravaganza on the last day. Do you want to reconsider taking part in it?” Robert said out loud what he came for.
“Can’t we take part for just one day?” Mag smiled.
“Erm…” Robert pulled his lips. He indeed would like Mag to take part for all seven days of the Delicacy Extravaganza, but Mag obviously wasn’t interested. “Theoretically, you can, but this award will be eventually decided by the total votes cast after seven days. Hence, you might not have an advantage if you only set up for one day.
“The publicity effect will be quite good if it gets the Delicacy Extravaganza’s best dish award,” Robert added.
“I see…” Mag lamented. The most important thing now was to promote the octopus tentacles. If the octopus tentacles series could get the Delicacy Extravaganza’s best dish award, it would naturally gain more exposure.
“In this case, I will keep this octopus tentacle booth running from tomorrow onwards too, and then put a photostone here that plays my cooking’s tutorials. I will take part virtually for the next six days.” Mag smiled and suggested a solution that solved both their problems.
Robert was stunned for a moment before he put up his thumb, and said, “You… are really a business genius.”
