With a low growl in unison and flames rising nearly a meter high, the lava demons standing at the restaurant entrance successfully attracted the attention of the customers and passersby. After all, such a spectacular scene is not something that can be seen often.
"This...how is this possible! It seems that my level two seal has been broken through directly, and my strength, which had been stuck at level four for more than 20 years, has jumped directly to level five!"
"I can clearly feel the seal loosening. Although it hasn't broken through directly, but a gap has appeared, and it should be able to break through soon!"
"Level 5 in one bite! I've broken through too!"
Kosuz, Markza, and Calzac all wore expressions of ecstasy, staring in disbelief at the Rou Jia Mo in their hands. The seal that had plagued the Lava Clan for hundreds of years had actually been broken after taking a bite of the Rou Jia Mo.
The amazing effect left them speechless, their mouths agape. If it hadn't actually happened to them, they would never have believed such a thing could happen.
"Sacred Rou Jia Mo! It truly is the hope for the revival of our Lava Clan!" Kosuz took a bite of the remaining half of the Rou Jia Mo, feeling his blood rush through his body and lava flowing across his skin. The indescribable feeling was like the sudden ignition of the long-dormant passion within him, allowing them to see the glory of the Lava Demon Clan when they stood at the top of the Nolan Continent.
"Letting them eat outside was definitely the right choice." Sargeras glanced outside, a smile also on his face. Enabling more of his people to enjoy Rou Jia Mo was his greatest pursuit now, and also the Burning Legion's goal.
"It seems Boss Mai has recruited a very powerful group of henchmen?"
"None of that matters. They just helped Boss Mai solve his problem, and then Boss Mai gave each of them a Rou Jia Mo. I definitely can't miss another opportunity like this!"
"If I could be rewarded with a serving of Sweet Tofu Pudding, I'd risk my life for it!"
The guests, looking at the lava demons outside the restaurant, started discussing amongst themselves, though most were more interested in the reward.
Mai Ge looked at the lava demons outside the restaurant and a smile appeared on his face. Why not bring more benefits to the guests while providing them with delicious food?
Guests came and went, and the latecomers were very interested in the disappearance of the restaurant's main entrance. Fortunately, there were quite a few enthusiastic guests as well.
"I heard that tonight a level 10 giant golden dragon wanted another serving of tofu pudding, but was refused by Boss Mai. Enraged, it tried to smash up the restaurant, but was then punished by two great mages. The fight was so fierce that it was dark and chaotic. In the end, Principal Norvan had to step in to quell the situation. And that wooden door was smashed away by a single palm strike during the melee."
As Mai Ge listened to the increasingly bizarre story spreading among the guests, he shook his head helplessly.
"Our business hours are over, and we've run out of ingredients. Please come earlier tomorrow." At the restaurant entrance, Mai Ge smiled and declined the latecomers' requests to enter. The doorway was empty, which looked a little strange.
"Alright, but Boss Mai, I heard that a level 10 giant dragon has its eye on your restaurant. You'd better be careful. If all else fails, you should apply for protection from the Gray Temple. I'd like to be able to come to your restaurant more often." A customer said to Mai Ge earnestly.
"Well... I'll be careful." Mai Ge nodded somewhat helplessly. It was really hard to refuse the guests' kindness. However, he didn't know where this level ten giant dragon came from. There shouldn't be any big shots of that level targeting the restaurant yet.
"Boss, do you need me to help you find someone to fix the door? I just don't know if any carpenters are still around." Yabemia stepped forward and said, looking at the empty door.
"Don't worry about that. I'll find a shrewd businessman later, he'll help me install the door." Mai Ge smiled and shook his head, looking at Yabemia and Sally and saying, "You two pack up and get ready to go home. You have to come to work tomorrow morning, so go home and rest early."
"Host, please watch your words! The wooden doors produced by this system are of absolutely superior quality! Fairly priced, no deception whatsoever!" the system's defiant voice rang out.
"By the way, Aisha, how many slips were given to customers today? And what was the revenue?" Mai Ge ignored the system's voice and looked at Sally again to ask.
"Today we sold a total of 136 servings of Yang Zhou Fried Rice, 650 Rou Jia Mo, 820 servings of tofu pudding, 416 servings of Braised Chicken Rice, and 512 servings of extra rice. The total income was... 799,000 copper coins. I gave out 1,022 slips to the customers." Sally walked to the counter, took out a notebook, calculated carefully for a while, and recited a series of numbers.
"Wow, so much money!" Amy's eyes lit up instantly, as if little stars were twinkling inside.
"799,000… How much money is that…" Yabemia looked up and thought seriously. In the past, she thought that 600 copper coins a month was her entire salary. The restaurant's daily turnover was more than 1,000 times her previous monthly salary. If it were all converted into copper coins, it would definitely be enough to build a small mountain.
"Okay." Mai Ge nodded with a smile, his face also showing surprise. With a turnover of 799,000 copper coins, after deducting the cost of ingredients, there should be a profit of nearly 500,000 copper coins!
What does it mean to earn 500,000 copper coins a day? If this turnover is maintained, this small restaurant can earn 180 million copper coins a year, and earning 200 million copper coins a year is not a dream!
"Making 200 million a year by running a restaurant... When did making money become so easy?" Mai Ge himself was a little stunned.
When the restaurant first opened, Mai Ge was thinking about how to help him and his daughter survive in this world. Now, the restaurant has started to get on track, with new dishes being introduced, the number of customers constantly increasing, and the turnover doubling again and again. The speed of development has far exceeded his expectations.
"Great, keep it up! Let's set a small goal: let's earn 100 million! I can give you a raise next month." Mai Ge said with a smile to Sally and Yabemia. The restaurant's revenue increase so quickly was inseparable from Yabemia and Sally's efficient and accurate work. They deserved higher salaries and to enjoy the benefits of the restaurant's development.
"Boss, I think the salary is already very high. Mia is very satisfied." Yabemia quickly waved her hand.
"I think that's enough too." Sally nodded in agreement. She felt very satisfied with the life she could have, eating two servings of tofu pudding and a serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice everyday.
"You deserve better." Mai Ge said with a smile, but he wasn't in a hurry to persuade them.
"Daddy, may I go check on Sister Xi Xi and Big Bear before I go to sleep? They haven't even finished eating yet, are they hungry?" Amy asked Mai Ge with some concern, holding the Ugly Duckling.
