Chapter 952 You Really Put On Weight At The Right Place
The introduction of eggplant with garlic sauce had boosted the sale of rice greatly. It became a must to refill as n.o.body could bear to walk away leaving half of the eggplant unfinished.
“From tomorrow onward, I shall only order one set of sweet tofu pudding when I come to Mamy Restaurant. I already put on 2.5 kg this month.”
“I’ve put on weight too… But my husband isn’t complaining. Instead, he says… the feel became better.”
“Oh please, I already heard you say this last month. However, Sis, you really put on weight in the right place. The feel had to feel good, even I’m tempted to touch them. I’m envious…”
A group of rich ladies were bantering as they walked out from the restaurant with a sated look.
The opening hours for the restaurant were over. Yabemiya turned over the wooden plaque on the entrance and closed the door. Then, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
Almost everyone in the restaurant breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After the restaurant doubled its size, the workload had more than doubled. They could feel a strong sense of fatigue after an hour of work.
“Thanks for your hard work, everyone. I need to go out now, please tie up the loose ends for me.” Mag came out of the kitchen and hung up his ap.r.o.n. He went upstairs to change into normal clothes, and then went out of the door.
A horse-drawn carriage with the Buffett Family crest was already waiting at the door. A middle-aged man who looked like a secretary stood in front of the carriage. He welcomed Mag with a smile instantly when he saw him come out. “Mr Mag, Miss Scheer has sent me to fetch you.”
“Alright.” Mag nodded smilingly. This was one of Scheer’s personal secretaries whom he had met before.
Mag got into the carriage. The secretary sat across him, but he didn’t strike a conversation with him. Mag didn’t say much, either. The steam engine locomotive project should be highly cla.s.sified. He wasn’t sure if the secretary was authorized to know much.
The horse-drawn carriage left Chaos City from the East City Gate. After travelling on the main road for a while, they turned into a small road and continued on.
Mag wasn’t surprised about this. Manufacturing trains was a big project which definitely wasn’t going to be done in Chaos City. Otherwise, the entire Norland Continent would know about it the following day.
Furthermore, Scheer had mentioned that the first section of tracks was going toward Vic Mountain. This meant that the Buffett Bank and Chaos City had reached a collaboration agreement with the goblins, so it was not a surprise that the manufacturing base was east of the city.
Even though the carriage was fast, it still took them half an hour before they stopped in front of a huge mountain.
“Mr Mag, we are here.” The secretary got out of the carriage first.
Mag lifted the curtain and looked at the stone wall. His eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed the light magic presence on the stone wall. The entrance had to be hidden by some kind of spellwork.
But, Mag didn’t show what he knew on his face. He lowered the curtain and then stepped out of the carriage. He looked around in a shock, and said, “Here?”
“Yes.” The secretary nodded smilingly. He took out a black token and pressed it against the wall.
A golden ripple began to appear on the normal-looking stone wall. After the distortion of s.p.a.ce, an entrance to a whirlpool that would just allow one person to go through appeared on the wall.
“After you, Mr Mag.” The secretary smiled at Mag.
Mag walked straight in after a moment of hesitation.
The surroundings became bright suddenly after a short period of darkness.
Mag narrowed his eyes a little to get used to the light before he sized up his environment. His eyes flicked open immediately.
It was a huge pa.s.sageway that was over 10 meters wide and 20 meters tall. Two parallel tracks were laid on the ground that stretched all the way inward. There seemed to be an even bigger s.p.a.ce in there.
A spellwork above his head projected out lights that lit up the pa.s.sageway. Mag felt as if he had entered into a giant’s cave.
Soon, Mag started to sense a few perceptions that swept over his body. If he had sensed correctly, those perceptions belonged to 9th-tier and above magic casters. There should be at least one 10th-tier magic caster among them.
They really went all out, Mag thought in amazement. The Buffett Bank and city lord’s castle indeed valued the steam engine locomotive project as they had made a great magic caster watch over the site.
“Please follow me, Mr Mag. Miss Scheer and the city lord are already waiting for us ahead.” The secretary smiled at Mag.
“Is Lord Michael here too?” Mag was a little taken aback.
“Yes.” The secretary nodded, but he didn’t explain further.
Mag followed the secretary into the deep part of the cave. As they got further in, the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng began to get louder. After a five-minute walk, a huge cavern appeared in front of Mag. Intersecting tracks filled the cavern, and the dwarf blacksmiths’ hammers smashed out sparks on the iron ores. The magic casters did their magic and melted the ore to extract the iron within. Then, the iron was molded into the required shape. Everyone was busy at work.
On the central hanging platform, a four-section locomotive displayed its bone structure. It was almost double the size of a normal train.
“An outline could be seen.” Mag stopped in his tracks. He looked at the locomotive with a single chimney above him and smiled.
“You’re arrived, Boss Mag.” A forthright voice sounded at this moment.
Mag turned around, and smiled. “Sorry to keep the city lord and Miss Scheer waiting.”
“Mamy Restaurant is now the pride of our Chaos City. It’s important to satisfy the customers. Besides, we also just finished our discussion, so Boss Mag has arrived exactly at the right time.” Michael shook his head and smiled.
Scheer smiled at Mag. “Mr Mag’s very punctual. However, if you intend to get back for dinner preparation, we should get going with the a.s.sessment now.”
“Miss Scheer knows me well. Let’s go right now.” Mag nodded. It was important to get back in time for dinner. After all, he hadn’t announced a leave, and it obviously wasn’t nice to stand his customers up without a good reason.
“Please follow me, Mr Mag.” The Chief Engineer standing at a side led Mag toward the central hanging platform. A manual elevator brought them up to the platform.
“Mr Mag is of course very familiar with the structure of the locomotive as you’re the designer and have made one yourself. However, during our production process, we have made some minute changes after our argumentation…” Bourell led Mag around the locomotive and launched into a very detailed explanation.
An hour later, Mag pa.s.sed a piece of paper full of writing to Bourell with a smile. He said, “The areas which I think could be improved are all here. Chief Bourell can refer to it.”
