A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988: I Have To Work Overtime Tonight

Vivian stood next to Luna as she watched Mag clear the barbecue rack, and softly said, “Boss Mag is a good man hard to come by. Are you sure you are not going to try harder and take him down?”

“Hush. Don’t talk nonsense!” Luna blushed and glared at Vivian.

“See how loving he is. Furthermore, he supports your work so much, and is so nice to children. He also isn’t clingy like those young men. He fits your mate’s requirements perfectly.” Vivian refused to give up.

Luna looked at the children who were eating the ice cream happily. It was rare to see such innocent smiles on their faces, and all this was given to the children by Mr. Mag. Moreover, if it weren’t for Mr. Mag’s support, these children would’ve still been begging on the streets.

Luna walked to Mag, and softly said, “Mr. Mag, thank you.”

“I’m only doing some small things for the children.” Mag placed the things at the side, and shook his head at Luna with a smile. He paused, and then continued, “The recent situation is rather chaotic. Is Teacher Luna going to return to Rodu?”

Luna shook her head slightly. “No. I have to be present for many of the foundation’s affairs. It’s more useful for me to be in Chaos City than to be in Rodu.”

Although her parents had been sending many letters to get her to return to Rodu for the past few days, and even made her brother set off to get her back, she had already decided to stay.

She couldn’t dictate or decide if the war would happen. It might be safer to return to Rodu, but many foundation’s projects would be in limbo if she left.

The Hope School was in the midst of construction, and the recruitment of the teachers was in process too. The rate of recruitment became much faster after the re-employment of the experienced teachers as they were in charge of it.

At the same time, she still had to check with the city lord’s castle regarding the situation of the school-going-age children. She had to let the children who couldn’t get into Chaos School enroll in the Hope School.

She could only be a young mistress who had nothing to do in Rodu, but in Chaos City, she was the bearer of many children’s hopes.

Mag nodded, and said, “If there is anything I can help, please tell me, and I will do all I can to help you.”

A young mistress from the Roth Empire coming to Chaos City to provide education for the poor. She even chose to stay at such a turbulent time. Her spirit was admirable.

“Alright.” Luna smiled. She didn’t know why, but the words sounded very comforting and reliable coming from Mr. Mag.

Then, Luna and Mag chatted about the Hope School.

Mag could sense that Luna had put great energy and hope into the Hope School. Compared to the Chaos School trying to expand its recruitment by a few hundred students, the Hope School was the real solution to resolve the problem of schooling for the children from the lowest rung of society.

Vivian came over, and said to Mag, “Boss Mag, I am already a teacher at the Hope School. You can call me Teacher Vivian in the future.”

“Congratulations, Teacher Vivian,” Mag said with a smile. He knew Vivian had intended to go be a teacher at the Chaos School. He didn’t expect her to end up at the Hope School.

“Thank you. I will go to eat grilled fish as a celebration tonight.” Vivian had a smug smile. She had just received the admission notice from Luna. She had passed the experienced teachers’ interview, which had nothing to do with Luna.

The children were having a lot of fun, so Mag wasn’t in a hurry to get them home. However, it was a little boring for him to stay in this orphanage, so he took the opportunity to make a trip to the brewery in the north of the city.

He heard the machine’s humming as soon as he entered the factory.

He naturally couldn’t let Hannah run such a big brewery like her private workshop. He got 100 elves from the Night Elves, and put them in different positions in the brewery. The elves guarding the gates knew Mag, so they let him enter the brewery right away.

“We need to brew alcohol scientifically. It’s already outdated to brew alcohol based on experience. Only by brewing according to the scientific methods can we ensure that every single step is standardized, and every bottle that leaves the brewery is equally excellent. This is the so-called quality control. I have already come up with three different formulae for three types of rum with different textures…” Mag heard Hannah’s voice as soon as he reached the brewery’s workshop.

Mag retracted his steps slowly, and listened at the door with a weird expression. He didn’t expect Hannah to behave exactly like a brewery director after receiving a couple of books on business management from him.

Mag didn’t want to disturb Hannah’s work, so he decided to tour around the brewery.

The system provided this brewery’s blueprint. It was built exactly according to a modern brewery’s plan. Only its architectural facade used this world’s popular style, and looked a little like a European winery.

“Boss, what are you doing here?” Soon, Mag heard Hannah’s voice coming from behind. She quickly strode forward. “I heard they said you were here. Why didn’t you come look for me right away?”

Mag turned around to face Hannah in her blue overalls, and smilingly said, “I didn’t dare to interrupt when I heard Director Hannah teaching about scientific discoveries, so I decided to walk around by myself first.”

Hannah chuckled embarrassedly. “Hehe, I have only memorized a few paragraphs from the books, but it seems like the effects are quite good. They are looking at me differently now.”

Mag knew that Hannah had the talent to manage this brewery, so he then asked, “How are the machines running? When can we start mass production?”

“The machines are super useful. Their output is so stable. I figured them out within one day. They are much easier to use than my previous rubbish.” Hannah didn’t conceal her love for the new machinery. “I have already debugged a few of my and my grandpa’s rum formulae. The quality produced by the machines is even better. Furthermore, the quality is guaranteed. The probability of having a bad batch of rum is extremely low.

“However, to play safe, I will continue to debug and test in these two days. As long as the quality of the rum produced today is stable, we can officially start mass-producing big batches of rum tomorrow.”

“Alright, I will wait for your good news then.” Mag nodded. He was very satisfied with Hannah’s efficiency.

“Wait a sec, Boss.” Hannah went into the cellar at the side, and came out with two bottles of rum.

Hannah passed the rum to Mag, and said, “I brewed them yesterday. Take them back and try them. I made them with base liquor, so it can be considered as three years old rum.”

“Alright, I will bring it back and try it out.” Mag accepted the rum. Words alone were no proof. He indeed wanted to check if the rum produced by Hannah with the machine still retained a high quality.

However, many customers were still pining after the rum. Mag was waiting to give the customers one more choice after Hannah began mass production.

Speaking of that, he still hadn’t let his customers try his Maotai and whiskey yet.

I have to work overtime tonight, thought Mag..
