A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1724

Chapter 1724: I Don’t Care. I Want To Go Back To Be A Courier!

After Michael left, Mag went upstairs to take out the envelope. There was a 300,000 copper coin check and a simple letter in it. It briefly explained what kind of meeting they were having three days later.

Tacky. Mag kept that check carefully. He was rather surprised that the dragon race would take the initiative to mediate the relationships between all the races in an attempt to maintain the Norland Continent’s peace.

Seems like the dragons are equally fearful of the Great Old Ones. Mag shredded the letter, and tossed it into the trash can before going downstairs calmly.

Amy, who was sitting on the bicycle’s backseat and hugging Mag’s waist, asked, “Father, we’re having the term-end party tonight. You will be coming, right?”

“Of course, I have promised you that previously,” Mag replied with a smile.

“What about Mother? Is she free to go?” Amy continued to ask.

“She… Maybe she will be a little busy.” Mag hesitated briefly. Irina had gone out early in the morning again. The elves, the Night Elves, and the Great Old Ones. There were plenty of matters she needed to handle and settle, so he also wasn’t sure if Irina could make it to Amy’s term-end party.

“Alright.” Amy was a little disappointed, but she soon understandingly said, “It’s fine. I know she is very busy. Then, I will dance for her after she returns home tonight.”

“Good girl.” Mag sent Amy to the Chaos School. Krassu and Urien were busy with the Great Old Ones’ matters, so they couldn’t give Amy any lessons. Today was the last day of school, and the term-end party would be held tonight, so Amy requested to come to school.

“Good morning, Little Amy. Hello, Mr. Mag.” A gentle voice sounded at the side as soon as Mag’s bicycle stopped.

“Good morning, Teacher Luna.” Amy hopped off the bicycle, and ran to Luna happily.

“Hello, Teacher Luna.” Mag smiled at Luna too. “Today, Amy wants to spend the last day of this school term with her classmates, so I’ve sent her to school.”

Luna understood and nodded. “Sure. Don’t worry, I’ll make the arrangements for her.”

“Then I will have to trouble you.” Mag said his goodbye, and rode off on his bicycle.

“Let’s go, Little Amy.” Luna retracted her gaze. She held Amy’s hand and walked into the school.

“Teacher Luna, will today’s party be very lively?”

“Yes. All the students and their parents will come to take part. They will be filling up the entire great hall.”

After the breakfast service, Mag went to the textile factory.

The textile factory had begun production formally. 10-odd steam engines were working at full capacity, making the dozens of steam engine textile machines work continuously day and night. They ensured that the high-quality fabric was produced continuously.

The elves with magical power had easily grasped the operation techniques of the machine. They maintained the machines at their maximum efficiency.

Of course, beside the machines’ workshop, the hand spinning workshop also had 5000 trained elven spinners working right now. They were using the textile machines that Mag had modified, so their spinning efficiency was dozens of times higher than that of normal spinners. They contributed almost half of the textile factory’s output.

Next to the textile factory, the second factory building was being built. Meanwhile, Mag had already custom-made a batch of new steam engines from Scheer. After the second factory building was completed and entered production, the output of the textile factory was expected to increase another threefold. That would be a very terrifying output.

Ashley followed after Mag, and calmly said, “The first batch of 10,000 bolts of fabric has already been accounted for. They’re being stored in the warehouse, and are ready for handover.”

As the key project of the Night Elves’ reemployment, Irina had completely handed the textile factory to this captain with outstanding capabilities.

Mag agreed with Irina’s decision completely, so he appointed her as the director of the textile factory.

And during this period, Mag was indeed very satisfied with Ashley’s abilities. Apart from constructing the factory building and teaching how to use the steam engine spinning machines, he was almost completely hands-off.

The hand spinning workshop was suggested by Ashley, and it was quickly set up with a very high efficiency. It doubled the textile factory’s output.

“Great. I will inform the distributor to come and collect them on the day after tomorrow.” Mag sincerely said to Ashley, “Director Ashley, you and everyone else have worked very hard in this period of time.”

“This is our job.” Ashley nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her conservative face. “Moreover, everyone likes their job now. They can stand upright and work with dignity.”

“After the handover on the day after tomorrow, get the finance department to calculate everyone’s salary. Besides standing upright to work with dignity, I also want everyone to work blissfully.” Mag smiled, and then turned to walk towards the entrance. “I’ll go check out the construction site next door.”

“Goodbye.” Ashley looked at Mag’s back with appreciation. Although this Mr. Mag was only a human chef, he possessed astonishing wisdom, and was very accepting of Night Elves. He resolved the awkward situation that the Night Elves could have faced after arriving at Chaos City.

But, why is the princess staying at his place? Doubt appeared on Ashley’s face.

Rodu. The Royal Palace’s side hall.

“The giant dragons are actually taking the initiative to invite all the races to have a peace negotiation, and have articulated their determination to maintain the world’s peace. This is really a rare event.” Andre, who was sitting on a high throne, looked at the invite that he had just received and frowned.

The few old courtiers standing below were looking at one another. Nobody dared to answer.

Andre put down the invitation, and asked all the courtiers, “Whom do you think we should send?”

A general said, “Your Majesty, I think the first prince is the best choice. His Highness is magnificent and mighty. He could demonstrate the power and might of our Roth Empire—”

A scholarly courtier stepped forward, and interrupted, “Your Majesty, I think the second prince should make the trip. This negotiation is about the peace accord. No matter if we’re going to war or maintaining the peace, this concerns the empire’s interests. The second prince is very learned and attentive, so he definitely will be able to fight for more benefits for the empire.”

The courtiers had a big disagreement on choosing between the first prince or the second prince, and they began to argue in the hall.

“Alright, you all may go now.” Andre interrupted their arguments. After everyone had left, he ordered, “Summon Sean and Josh here.”

“At first, I wanted to continue to strive and work hard for the tribe. However, since we have received such an important invitation, then I will have to force myself to make this trip then.” Connie looked at the invitation in her hands, and even though she was trying very hard to control herself, she already couldn’t help but smile.

“Do you know how to go to Chaos City?” Rex threw a glance at her.

Connie looked upwards, and proudly said, “I’ve made my own way to Chaos City previously.”

“But you actually wanted to go to the Roth Empire’s capital, Rodu, at first.” Rex chuckled. “You simply mixed up north and south.”

Connie froze, and soon huffed. “I don’t care. I want to go back to being a courier!”
