Chapter 2224: It Seemed Super Worth It
The thin skin was gently bitten open. The juicy filling spread in her mouth and the slightly spicy soup bloomed and interlaced with the fragrance of the meat.
Scheer felt as though she had fallen on a soft blanket and was immediately brought into a sturdy and warm embrace. A rush of warmth flowed down her throat and into her stomach, before spreading all over her body.
It was a taste that would make one shudder. She suppressed that shudder and tasted the food very carefully.
Beads of perspiration had already formed on the tip of Scheer’s nose by the time she swallowed the wonton.
“Super good!”
Scheer looked at the wontons in front of her and her eyes sparkled.
Due to her busy work, she was actually not very particular about food and would often forget to eat. She would also only eat breakfast depending on her mood.
However, this breakfast, which appeared rather too heavy for her, had captured her heart instantly.
This beautiful feeling… made her feel bright today.
She could even understand why those people queued for so long. Although the long queue would take up a lot of one’s physical and mental strength, upon tasting a delicious and hot breakfast, the tiredness would be soothed away instantly by the sense of satisfaction, and one would even get a stronger sense of motivation and energy!
This was probably the magic of food!
How could a small wonton be enough? One after another, Scheer put the wontons in her mouth and would occasionally scoop up the red oil with her spoon and mix it with another scoop of chicken soup to drink.
In no time at all, a bowl of wontons was finished.
If it was not that the red soup base was really too spicy and oily for her, she would probably have finished the soup too.
“Whew…”
Scheer let out a gentle sigh and smiled with satisfaction....
The food was delicious and she felt good after eating. She had not experienced a breakfast like this in a very long time.
Scheer took out a handkerchief and wiped away the perspiration on her forehead and nose as her gaze landed on Mag, who was packing away the kitchenware in the kitchen.
If she wanted to have such a breakfast every day, she would have to wake up at six in the morning and after a brief wash-up, take a 20-minute horse-drawn carriage ride to Mamy Restaurant and queue for two hours to enter the restaurant. After ordering the Sichuan spicy wontons in red oil, she would then have to spend another 20 minutes eating before going to the bank.
This meant that for this breakfast, she would have to take close to three hours out of her day
Besides, according to this calculation, she would not be able to have the tofu pudding.
Although she was very confident in her looks, being at the age where her skin and body condition were at their best, no woman would reject eating a serving of tofu pudding every morning to cast away all frets about skin issues.
This was just breakfast. If she wanted to have lunch and dinner here, the time used to queue and dine would increase.
Boss Mag was a man of principles. He would never make an exception for anyone.
Money could solve many problems but not when it came to paying off Boss Mag because he was equally rich.
Other than the employees of Mamy Restaurant, everyone, even Michael the city lord, had to queue to eat.
It would be impossible for Scheer to become a waitress, as she still had her own ambitions and dreams.
Therefore, if she wanted to enjoy a delicious breakfast every morning upon waking up without queueing and waiting, it seemed the only way would be to become the lady boss of Mamy Restaurant.

“This way, it seems super worth it. No wonder so many ladies want to be the lady boss.” Scheer looked at Mag with a burning gaze as she started calculating the return of interest if this happened.
Mag, who had just removed his apron and hung it to the side, felt a burning gaze on him. He looked over and met eyes with Scheer.
“Wow, our mighty banker is here for breakfast.” Mag was surprised.
Scheer was a little embarrassed. Her face flushed red for a brief moment and she quickly put on a professional banker’s smile.
Mag took the thermos flask on the counter and drank a sip of water with Goji berries. He put the cap back on and looked at Scheer as he said, “Miss Scheer, why do you have the time for breakfast here today?”
“That’s because the best breakfast in Chaos City is here. Do I have a choice?” Scheer smiled.
“It does make sense.” Mag smiled. He did not think that Scheer would spend a few hours waiting just to have breakfast.
“Other than breakfast, I am actually here to have a chat with you over something.” Scheer did not beat about the bush. Morning operations in the restaurant were ending soon and most of the customers had already left.
“Let’s have a cup of tea later on.” Mag nodded.
Scheer was a very excellent business partner after all. She was also handling the most amount of money in the Norland Continent. She was the real wealthy lady. No one could go wrong with making her a little happier.
“Alright.” Scheer nodded and motioned for her secretary to foot the bill.
The restaurant closed exactly at nine.
After cleaning up, Miya and the rest left quickly.
Mag made a pot of chrysanthemum tea and sat with Scheer at the table by the window.
Scheer took off her down jacket and she was wearing a black long knitted dress underneath. It was very fitting, which showed off her perfect figure. Beside her on the table was a copy of The Tale of The Little Mermaid that she bought in the morning.
“Thank you.” Scheer received the cup of tea Mag poured for her and took a whiff of the fragrant chrysanthemum tea. After that, she put the cup down with a smile.
“I heard that the railway to Vic Mountain has gone into frequent operation, is that right?” Mag asked while pouring himself a cup of tea.
“Yes. As there was a need to transport minerals and other emergency goods from Vic Mountain to Chaos City previously, the railway was working almost at maximum capacity, which exposed several issues. At the same time, several issues were solved and now we can operate frequently. The demand for transport is not bad as well.” Scheer nodded.
“We are currently preparing to make the railroad from Chaos City to the Dwarves’ place. Once it’s set, trade for these three areas would be able to improve.”
“This route is not bad at all.” Mag nodded.
Many minerals were produced on Vic Mountain and the Goblins were not good at forging.
With the railroad’s large-scale transportation, the minerals from Vic Mountain could be transported to the Dwarves’ to be processed and forged. After that, the product could be transported to Chaos City to be sold. This would form a complete cycle.
The most important thing was that these two races weren’t strong on their own and they were not ambitious as well. This made them very good partners.
Once their economies get tied together, communication would become more convenient. This would make the Goblins and Dwarves more valuable in Chaos City.
This was something that Mag thought of back then. Only, he did not expect Scheer and the city lord’s castle to use this war to expedite this matter.
Now that the railroad had started expanding in the Norland Continent, the steam train’s convenience and economic viability would make the other races join in.
By then, the entire continent’s communication would quickly improve, together with the convenience that transport brought along.
“But I’m not here to talk about the railroad today. I want to talk to you about this picture book.” Scheer picked up the Little Mermaid picture book beside her and looked at Mag with a smile.
