Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Wh-who are you? Where is my Baby Clara? I… I’m telling you, she’s the world’s most beautiful and best woman… Don’t… don’t stop me from going home…” Pasa staggered in as he mumbled and fell into the woman’s embrace.
“Bastard…” The woman smiled shyly. She used the clog in her hand to gently smack Pasa’s bum, and helped him into the house.
“Take a seat. I’ll boil some water for you to wash your feet,” Clara said as he put Pasa on the bed.
Pasa opened his eyes to glance at Clara as he exclaimed inwardly, Boss Hades did not lie to me indeed! A 70% drunk man can make you cry with his acting!
“Father, are you peeking at Mother?” A little head appeared, followed by another two little heads.
“Hush. I brought you guys goodies.” Pasa took out the peanuts and sweets Boss Mag had packed for him, and passed them to his three children.
“Alright!” The three children took the packet, and went aside happily to eat.

Mag closed the door, and ended the day.
Right now, no one could find Josh. However, the net was cast, and the sea was full of fishermen. He would be caught sooner or later if he still wanted to cause trouble.
Based on his understanding of Josh, Mag knew that the former had been plotting for so many years. Now that the Norland Continent was in such a precarious situation, Josh would never let things pass so easily. Therefore, Mag only had to wait for Josh to jump out on his own or come knocking on his door.
Mag switched off the light at the door. Just when he turned to go upstairs, he saw Irina and the two little fellows sitting in a straight row at a table, looking at him.
“Why? Do you want to eat supper?” Mag asked with a smile. He thought they had gone to sleep.
“If it’s supper… sure.” Amy nodded without thinking further.
“Hot pot would be fine too,” Irina said.
Annie nodded along.
“Meow, meow.” Ugly Duckling stood on the chair at the side as it meowed in agreement.
“Alright. I’ll get the ingredients ready. Let’s have hot pot.” Mag walked into the kitchen with a smile.
“Right, Mother, weren’t we looking for Father to discuss upgrading the tavern business?” Amy asked Irina as she blinked her large eyes.
“It’s alright. Having hot pot will not affect our discussion,” Irina said with a smile.
“Oh.” Amy nodded thoughtfully as she dangled her two short legs. She suddenly jumped off the chair, and ran to the kitchen door. While Mag was preparing the ingredients, she said, “Father, I want to have some youtiao. The kind that you put in the hot pot to cook for a while.”
“Alright, but it will take some time to make the youtiao. You’ll have to wait for a while,” Mag replied.
“Mm-hmm. No rush. Father, you’re the best.” Amy nodded her small head. After that, she ran over to bring a little stool over to the kitchen door and sat there, blabbering with Mag.
The little fellow would always have random ideas on what she wanted, sometimes youtiao, sometimes soybean milk, sometimes durian pizza… therefore, Mag would always have small amounts of prepared ingredients in the refrigerator, such as prepared dough for the youtiao. All he had to do was to form it into long strips, and prepare the pot of hot oil, and it would be ready for frying.
Not long later, a double-flavored pot was put on the table. Mag brought out two large trays of ingredients, including the golden youtiao, and laid them on the table.
Amy reached out to take one youtiao. She placed it near her mouth, and blew on it gently before giving it a big bite.
The freshly fried youtiao was fragrant and crispy. The little fellow smiled subconsciously to display her happiness.
Mag helped Irina put a plate of different mushrooms into the clear soup. This was her favorite way of eating.
The thick bone soup had become a mushroom soup, making it even more delicious. The soup on its own was already very good. The light, refreshing soup had become rich, just the way she liked it.
Irina picked up a slice of beef, and dipped it in the clear soup. She looked at Mag, who was adding red soup base to her dipping sauce, and asked, “Are you intending to let your tavern be like that?”
“Like what?” Mag dipped his chopsticks in the dipping sauce and tried it. He nodded with satisfaction.
“We have no customers every day, so we have nothing to do.” Amy swallowed the youtiao in her mouth. She looked at Mag seriously, and said, “We can’t continue to be lazy like this. Therefore, what must we do to have more customers and earn more monies?”
Mag knew what the little fellow was thinking of. Earning money was definitely the more important goal; he was rather glad that the little fellow had such a realistic sense of money. At least he would not be worried about her being in need of money.
Of course, the little billionaire would never need to worry about money for the rest of her life.
Naturally, earning money was just a hobby.
But that did somehow coincide with what Mag was planning to do. The mission for the tavern had already been given, and it was the third day since he had opened. Saipan Tavern was only making a small hole in the military’s circle. Although his earnings had increased from 2,000 copper coins to more than 10,000 copper coins, his popularity was still pathetic, at single digit.
Oh, right. That man who had Maotai just now also added on to the popularity of Saipan Tavern. However, it was still at a single digit.
“Where are the earnings for today?” Irina reached her hand out to Mag with a smile.
“Here.” Mag froze for a while. He recalled his arrogance at the door just now, but still handed over the money bag with today’s earnings to Irina obediently.
“What is your plan?” Irina asked Mag with a smile as she kept the money.
Mag’s marketing strategy would not only stop at that if he could make Mamy Restaurant the top restaurant in Chaos City and rake in all the loyal customers to make the restaurant a full house every day.
“As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. As a tavern, the key to good business still lies in the wine,” Mag said.
“Don’t tell me you want Amy to drink at the door?” Irina frowned. Mamy Restaurant had already used this tactic several times at Mamy Restaurant.
“How’s that possible? Children can’t drink.” Mag quickly waved his hands.
“If not?”
“The fragrance of Maotai is irresistible to all drinkers. Starting from tomorrow, I will pour a cup of Maotai, and lock it up in a cage at the door to attract the passing customers and surrounding residents,” Mag said with a smile.
“This idea…” Irina thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. “Superb!”
“However, if there are more customers, it might be a little more tiring for you guys. Since the tavern has only opened for a month, I do not have the intention to hire workers for now,” Mag said hesitantly.
“It’s alright, I can settle the cashier’s role.” Irina waved her hand calmly.
“I can entertain the guests with my cuteness.” Amy blew on the tripe that Mag had cooked for her as she pouted cutely.
“I can serve the dishes..” Annie signed.
