Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1356: I Want To Be A Chef Too!

An apprehensive expression appeared on Kitar’s face. He could only stand to the side after the demon behind him hurried him off, but he didn’t go away, and instead he watched Mag pay for the crayfish.

There were so many people catching crayfish now, and he only managed to catch 20 for the whole night, and it was going to diminish. One day, he wouldn’t be able to catch any, and he would have to go back to being a miserable fisherman who only managed to scrape by.

However, if he learned how to cook crayfish, that would be a different story. That boss who also paid 50 copper coins for each of the tens of thousands crayfish every day was in fact earning tens of thousands of copper coins per day.

Although the fisherman didn’t know about business, he could still see who was earning more.

Kitar only approached Mag after he was done collecting the crayfish from all the fishermen. As he helped Mag pour the crayfish into the big pond, he asked, “Boss, do you think I can do it? I would like to learn how to cook crayfish from you.”

“You?” Mag put down the crayfish’s cages and sized up Kitar seriously. This young demon fisherman could be considered as one of the first crayfish catchers. He was full of zeal, and had caught way more crayfish than the normal fishermen. Mag nodded. “You can try it out if you are interested.”

“Really?” Kitar’s eyes lit up. He was only testing the waters, and he didn’t expect Mag to agree.

“If you really want to learn, I hope you come here with a serious attitude. I don’t want to waste time on a demon who isn’t serious,” Mag said to Kitar gravely.

“Yes. I will definitely learn seriously.” Kitar quickly nodded. He took out his money bag, dug out five gold coins, and passed them to Mag solemnly.

“Go home and shower first, then come back at 10 am,” Mag said after keeping the gold coins.

“Alrighty.” Kitar nodded, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He helped Mag pour the rest of the prawns into the pond before leaving. His clothes were drenched by seawater, and they were full of dirt. He indeed should go home for a bath.

There were four, five demons who came to ask Mag after that. He rejected two of them, and accepted 500 copper coins from the other three. He told them to come back at 10 am later.

“Boss Hades, are you really going to teach people how to cook crayfish?” Ivan poked his head over from the adjacent yard. He was staring at Mag in shock. Why was Hades teaching others about such good business?

“Yes.” Mag nodded with a smile. “Seems like everyone likes the taste of crayfish, so if I teach more demons to cook crayfish, even more demons will be able to have the delicious crayfish.”

Ivan turned to look at the house before softly asking Mag, “Then can I learn too? Do you think I can do it?”

Mag surveyed Ivan. He had a good impression of the rock troll family of three from next door. However, although rock trolls were strong, they were known to be clumsy. It wasn’t beneath Ivan to operate this huge wok, but whether he could reach the standards would be a problem.

“Although I’m not a fast learner, I am very patient. As long as you are willing to teach me, I can definitely master it,” Ivan promised as he slapped his chest. Then, he turned to look at the house before saying in a hushed voice, “My son and I have fallen in love with the crayfish you make, and we have started to change our shells after eating your crayfish. If I learned how to make it, my family status would increase substantially, and I could hold my head up high in front of my wife.”

Mag looked at Ivan, and out of pity for a poor man without any familial status, he smiled and nodded. “Alright. You can come over at 10 am too.”

“Alrighty.” An elated expression flashed across Ivan’s face before he bent down and dug around under the stone at the first pillar of the fence. He quickly retrieved a rock and broke it in half. A few glittering gold coins rolled out from within.

“You know, right. It’s not easy to hide some personal savings.” Ivan counted five gold coins, and placed the rest into his pocket before passing them to Mag, who had a shocked expression.

“I know. I know.” Mag took the money, still feeling a little amazed. This bro really was a genius. However… why was there a pathetic feeling?

Ivan sighed, and meaningfully said, “Sigh. You’re still young, Boss. Remember to save more for yourself when you still have some familial status now.”

Mag held in his laughter as he pondered about how to answer.

“Hey, come in and help me hang the clothes!” A frustrated voice came from the house next door.

Ivan’s expression fell. He waved at Mag before walking back to the house. He immediately broke into a smile as soon as he reached the door and his footsteps became lighter.

Looking at Ivan’s back, Mag secretly thought, why did it sometimes feel better to be single?

Mag’s notice attracted plenty of attention from the demons. The crayfish’s superb business in these few days had attracted plenty of envy. Some demons on Carapace Island had even counted that the crayfish restaurant could earn at least 50,000 copper coins per day. That was a huge sum, and no other restaurant had earned so much before.

Mag decided to put quality before quantity, so he had only accepted a total of six apprentices before 10 am.

“Dear, the boss next door is having a class, so I’m going over to have a look. Maybe the task of rescuing us rock trolls would befall onto me,” Ivan said while he massaged Gemina’s stocky leg, and observed her reaction carefully.

“You want to learn how to cook? Are you thinking that my turtle stew is horrible?” Gemina’s razor-sharp gaze landed on Ivan.

“Of course not. The turtle stew that Dear makes is the most scrumptious food in the whole world.” Ivan swiftly shook his head before gravely saying, “However, I have been thinking that we have to spend 100 copper coins for one crayfish if we go over to Boss Mag. But if I learned how to make it, regardless if we go catch the crayfish ourselves or buy them from beachcombers, it would save us a lot of money. If we could get our tribe’s people to catch the crayfish together and let me cook them, isn’t it going to be very easy for our tribe to embark on our journey to revival?”

“What you said makes sense too.” Gemina showed a pondering expression.

Justin, who was responsible for massaging Gemina’s shoulders, poked his head over and excitedly said, “Father, bring me along too. I want to be a chef too! I want to learn how to cook crayfish too!”

“You’re not allowed to go.” Gemina smacked Justin before saying to Ivan, “You go.”

“Alrighty.” Ivan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly walked out of the house. When he reached the door, he regrettably said, “If I had known Dear would’ve agreed so easily, I should never have used my own savings to pay the school fees. Now, not only I lost the money, I still have to think how to explain where the money came from later…”
