Chapter 1302 - Just Use A Few Of Your Farms As Collateral Mortgage Then

“Make it 7,000,000 copper coins total including all the beds and life necessities,” Mag said decisively. The system’s price quotation was indeed rather fair. After all, no one else would be able to install a tap water system in this world. Just installing the piping alone would be a huge hurdle for most construction teams. Don’t even mention the complicated pressurization system.

The system descended into a silence, as if it was in the midst of a consideration.

“With this 7,000,000, you could cultivate new crayfish. And you could earn all the money back after you sell them when they are big,” Mag said smilingly.

“Deal!” the system said decisively.

“Alright. You can do the installation after the dwarf construction team leaves,” Mag said with a smile, feeling very satisfied with this outcome.

However, he had already spent more than 10,000,000 copper coins on upgrading the factory building alone. Not only did he spend all of Scheer’s investments, he still had to invest a few millions more too. It was indeed not easy to be an industrialist.

“Oh, yes. System, are you short of money recently? Do you want to take a big loan from me?” Mag asked, changing the topic.

“Do you mean I have to return 300,000 when I only borrowed 3,000? I am a little scared.”

“Don’t be scared. There is no trap. I have 300,000,000 here. You can use it to build fisheries or farms. I would just take 7,000,000 as monthly interest,” Mag said smilingly.

“You are charging 10 times more than the bank’s deposit interest rate!” the system rebutted.

“Is it the same when you borrow or save at the bank? Did the bank tell you about the deposit interest rate when it lends you money? It’s fine if you don’t want to borrow from me. I will deposit it into Buffett Bank right now,” Mag said confidently.

“I only need 100,000,000 for three months, with a 7,000,000 monthly interest,” the system said through clenched teeth.

“Okay. The lobster has a three-month growth cycle?”

“You don’t have to care about that.”

“You have to give me something as a collateral mortgage when you are borrowing money from me, right. You have no car or house, so just use a few of your farms as collateral mortgage then. The farms will belong to me if you can’t pay me on time.” There was a hint of a capitalist’s scent in Mag’s smile.

“Ding! The Wind Forest Rice-planting Base’s title deed is mortgaged successfully!

“Ding! The Twilight Forest Soybean Farm’s title deed is mortgaged successfully!

“Ding! The Boundless Sea Realm Crayfish Farm’s title deed is mortgaged successfully!”

Followed by the system’s three announcements, three hypothecation certificates appeared in Mag’s mind.

“Okay, help yourself to the 100,000,000.” Mag nodded with satisfaction. The 7,000,000 copper coins were back again. Banking was indeed more profitable than farming.

After returning to the restaurant, Mag continued to teach Rena how to make hot pot soup base.

Mag was being especially strict today. All the soup bases that weren’t up to standards had to be poured away. The red soup base couldn’t be drunk as a bone broth like the clear broth. Although Rena felt that it was a waste, she didn’t try to keep them again. Instead, she tried to do every step more seriously and attentively during her cooking so she could minimize the wastage.

After countless failures, Mag scooped up a small spoonful of the red soup base that Rena just made, and tasted it after blowing at it gently. He savored the exquisite taste of the texture of the mild spiciness and the clash of all the spices that was melted into the bone broth. Nodding his head with approval, he said, “Mm, this pot of mild spiciness is not bad. It has reached the standard that we could serve our customers. We will use this pot of soup base for our hot pot dinner tonight.”

Rena, who had been very tense, finally smiled. She had heard plenty of negations from Mag today. She wasn’t allowed to pass even if there was a little discrepancy. The satisfaction that she felt was indescribable when she finally obtained approval.

Of course, she felt the happiest that she didn’t have to waste food any longer.

“Rena is formidable. She learned how to make the hot pot in two days.”

“Yes. This is simply great.”

Yabemiya and the gang all went up to congratulate her. However, everyone could see Rena’s hard work. Not everyone had the ability to find the balance between those intensely spicy spices.

“Thank you, thank you everyone,” Rena said with a smile, feeling an exquisite sweetness in her heart. It felt so blissful to be recognized. In her previous job, she only had the oppressive feeling she could be scolded at any time. But all this was different here.

“You will be responsible for the customers’ mild spicy hot pot soup base tonight,” Mag said to Rena.

“I-I will be cooking for the customers?” Rena’s mouth was agape as she stared at Mag with disbelief. This was only her second day at the restaurant, and the customers of Mamy Restaurant were famous for being very picky. Could she really make it?

“Don’t worry, I will have a taste first before they are sent to the customers’ tables,” Mag replied with a smile.

“Mm-hm.” Rena hesitated for a moment before nodding as she looked at Mag’s trusting gaze. She had made up her mind to never let down the trust her boss had in her.

After everyone in the restaurant had their dinner, the busiest service of the day started.

The hot pot had already become the standard meal appointment for certain circles in Chaos City. The greatest difference that happened every day was that they would order one meal of clear broth hot pot to alleviate certain parts of their bodies after eating three meals of spicy hot pot before starting a new round of spicy endeavors again.

The mild spicy hot pot, as a middle-ground option, was very sought-after by many customers who were afraid of the spiciness yet didn’t want to have the clear broth.

“Uncle, let’s order the mild spicy. My teeth are already a lot better. It should be alright for me to eat the mild spicy one,” Vanessa said, tugging Abraham’s sleeve in the line. She already had enough of the “humiliation” of having the clear broth, and she was determined to advance to the spicy ones, even when it’s only the mild spicy.

“Can you really handle it?” Abraham looked at Vanessa worriedly. Boss Mag had told her not to eat food that was too spicy.

“See, after using the Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste, my teeth have become whiter, and they no longer bleed,” Vanessa said, showing him all her teeth.

“They have indeed become whiter,” Abraham said, feeling rather surprised. The black stains that were on Vanessa’s teeth had become much lighter. Although there were still some black spots on the badly corroded areas, he could see that the situation had become much better.

“Yes. So, let’s have the mild spicy one tonight.” Vanessa nodded happily.

“My words mean nothing. We have to get the approval from Boss Mag. Now, you have seen the hope for curing your teeth, so you can’t backtrack on your efforts.” Abraham shook his head and shirked the responsibility.

“Alright.” Vanessa nodded. Even though she would like to try the spicy ones, she would have to give it up if Boss Mag said she couldn’t.

The line swiftly moved forward after the restaurant was opened. Vanessa halted in her steps when she reached the door, and asked Mag, “Boss Mag, can I eat the mild spicy hot pot today? Can you see that my teeth are already much better?”

Mag looked at Vanessa who was showing her teeth with a grimace. Did the princess of the Roth Empire not care for her image just because of a mild spicy hot pot?

“The situation is indeed much better, but you still can’t eat much of it, either. And you have to brush your teeth immediately after you finish your meal.” Mag nodded after he looked at Vanessa’s teeth.

“Okay. Thanks, Boss Mag!” Vanessa nodded happily and skipped into the restaurant.
