Chapter 2210: New Tool


Mag had mixed feelings when he opened the doors of Saipan Tavern that had been closed for several days.


When he came over to Rodu that day and bought this shop, he once also had the great ambition to make Saipan Tavern the best tavern in Rodu.


Right now, he just wanted to find someone to take over the shop so that he could live freely.


Look, adults always give up so easily.


However, Romo Street, which was thriving, was on its second peak. Mag, who owned half the street, was already reaping his harvest.


“Master!” Before Mag even took a seat, Mala had already run in to greet everyone. She came over to Mag and said, “I’ve mastered the pig tongue salad!”


“Really?” Mag asked with a smile.


“Mm. I made one yesterday and Young Mistress said that it was delicious. It is already at a standard where it can be sold now.” Mala nodded confidently.


“I happen to have some pig tongues here. Make one for me now.” Mag brought Mala into the kitchen and took out a pig tongue from the refrigerator.


There were many standards for delicious food and Mag’s standard was different from Eiffie’s standard.


Mala had some talent in cooking and she was rather hardworking with her daily practice. However, he would still have to test if her cooking was up to his standards.


“Alright!” Mala went over to take her apron, washed her hands, and started making the pig tongue salad.


Mag stood by the kitchen door and nodded as he watched Mala’s adept actions. It seemed that she put in a lot of hard work practicing over the past few days.


This made Mag very glad.


One might be very passionate about cooking at the start but the hardest part was still the long-term persistence.


Mala’s attitude towards cooking was at least ambitious and serious.

...

The pig tongue was put in a pot to braise and Mag asked Mala, who was waiting, “You are hardworking when it comes to cooking. What about being a shop owner? Are you prepared for that?”


“A shop owner?” Mala blinked. She shook her head and said, “I can’t. I really can’t learn that.”


“Is Saipan Tavern reopening? There have been many customers asking recently,” Eiffie said as she walked over with a smile.


“I think our Young Mistress can do it.” Mala quickly tossed the ball into Eiffie’s court and looked at the latter with pleading eyes.


“I came over today to ask Miss Eiffie how the thinking went and if you are willing to take over Saipan Tavern,” Mag told Eiffie with a smile.


He would be a little worried if he were to hand Saipan Tavern over to Mala.


However, Eiffie was different. She had experience and she was also a smart woman.


Eiffie paused in her steps. She looked Mag in the eye and asked seriously, “Are you really not intending to run this tavern anymore?”


“It was a tavern that I opened for fun right from the start. It was purely accidental that it could gain so much love from the customers. Right now, I have more important things to do, so I can only hand this tavern over to someone more suitable to run it.” Mag looked at Eiffie and said, “For example, you, Miss Eiffie.”


“No. Saipan Tavern was not popular by chance.” Eiffie shook her head. “Mr. Hades, you’re a professional. Be it the shop’s location and renovation, or the drinks and dishes, they were all above the other taverns in Rodu. No one could do it as well as you.”


Mag smiled. This was something he could not deny.


However, Eiffie was speaking the truth. No matter who took over Saipan Tavern, with the Maotai and Whiskey at hand, he would still be sitting on the top spot.



That was all.


One could only guard the top spot but not become better.


This was also what Mag admired about Eiffie. She had a good eye for such things.


“However, there must be something more important that you have to attend to for Saipan Tavern to be the one you are giving up.” There was a hint of regret in her eyes. Although she had expected it, the thought of not being able to enjoy free meals made her heart ache.


“Miss Eiffie, you do not need to be stressed over this. After all, Titan Tavern is still very busy too. If you aren’t able to withstand the pressure of handling two taverns, I can find someone else.” Mag comforted her. He felt that he was asking for a bit too much.


Eiffie looked at Mag, took a deep breath in, and said with resolution, “I am willing to take over Saipan Tavern.”


Mag was slightly shocked but smiled.


“You’re giving too much. I think this is something few would reject,” Eiffie said as a matter of factly.


According to what Mag had promised previously, if Eiffie was willing to take over Saipan Tavern, she could receive 30% of its shares.


Judging from Saipan Tavern’s current development, that would be a very big harvest.


Moreover, Mag promised to supply the alcohol. All Eiffie had to do was manage the tavern. That was nothing difficult to her at all.


Saipan Tavern was already popular, so all she had to do was maintain it and make Saipan Tavern’s popularity carry on.


“In that case, let’s sign an agreement.” Mag brought out a contract from the counter and passed it to Eiffie.


Eiffie looked through the contract seriously and had a rather strange expression. She looked up at Mag and said, “Why were you so certain that I would take over?”


“I am always a good judge of character.” Mag smiled.


Eiffie signed the contract and Mag also penned his name down.


From today onwards, Mag had another shop that could run on its own besides the ice cream shop.


This was the so-called passive income. He could have money rolling in by doing nothing at all.


Fantastic!


Since the contract was signed, Eiffie could be considered as one of them.


Mag told her to stay for lunch and went into the kitchen to cook.


Mala was watching the pig tongue in the pot at the side. As she watched mag cook, she said, “Oh, right, Master. Maestro Vicki, whom you told me about, really came.”


“Is the opera house open?” Mag asked casually.


“Mm, mm. It has opened and the performance last night was a huge success. The theater was half-full and the response of the audience was rather good.” Mala nodded. She seemed rather excited talking about the opera house. “I am going over to practice in the afternoon.”


“You’re learning opera as well?” Mag was rather shocked.


“I… I’m just learning for fun…” Mala said guiltily as her eyes darted around, afraid to look at Mag.


“It’s great to have your own interest. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” Mag said with a smile. He could guess what she was thinking.


Upon hearing Mag’s words, Mala’s eyes lit up. She nodded and said, “Opera is really super fun. Those actors are all talented. They sing very well too and I love it.”


“Mm. I am intending to watch a show after lunch. Is there an afternoon show?”


“Yes, yes. There are fewer people during the afternoon shows so the tickets even have a 20% discount.” Mala nodded.


Mag smiled. He was rather curious about what kind of surprise he would get from the opera troupe that had moved into a theater from the run-down open-air courtyard.
