A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World Chapter 1611 – Piggies Are So Cute

“I'm not eating strange food like this,” Irina declared.

“Me too.” Babla raised her hand to concur. Just hearing the dish's name was enough to make her scalp go numb, not to mention trying the roasted eyes.

“I don't dare to try it, either,” Anna said softly.

“S-same here…” Jane raised her hand meekly with a helpless and pitiful expression.

All of a sudden, other than Amy and Rena, everyone expressed their unwillingness to try this dish which had a name that made one uncomfortable.

“Rena, are you willing to give it a try?” Mag looked at Rena. She was the only one sitting quietly without giving any opinion.

“I…” Rena met Mag's expectant gaze. Although she was filled with fear, and did not know what to expect from the roasted pig's eyes, there had to be some people willing to sacrifice themselves on the road to the birth of a delicacy. It was apparent that Boss needed someone like that right now. She hesitated for a while, but still nodded resolutely. “I can give it a try.”

“It's alright. You don't have to force yourself. I will launch this dish tonight. We'll let the customers decide,” Mag said with a smile. He could tell that Rena was afraid of the roasted pig's eyes, and he was very touched when she nodded. However, there was no need for her to be the lab rat.

“You're going to launch it straight away?” Rena looked at Mag in shock. She had never seen Mag make the roasted pig's eyes before, and he mentioned this dish early in the morning today. Was he going to serve the dish to the customers straight away without anyone trying it out?

“Yes.” Mag nodded, and explained, “This is a hometown cuisine. I am confident in it.”

Rena nodded and did not probe further. When Boss says he's confident, he's never wrong.

After the morning operating hours, Mag took out a little blackboard, and wrote something on it before hanging it on the door.

After that, Mag pulled out a lounge chair, and placed it by the door. He set up a small stove at the side, and put a ceramic pot over the stove. The fragrance of the black tea started wafting out together with the steam. Mag closed his eyes leisurely as he bathed in the warm winter sun, enjoying this rare relaxation.

After quite a while, Mag turned his head to the side and saw Gloria, who was standing by the pot of tea. He sat up with a smile, and said, “Miss Gloria, when did you come?”

He actually felt someone coming over five minutes ago, and the familiar smell allowed him to guess who it was without the need to open his eyes. However, the warm sun felt so good he couldn't bear to open his eyes.

“I've only arrived a while ago. I must have disturbed your sunbathing session,” Gloria said apologetically. She blushed a little, maybe because the sun today was really hot, or maybe it was because of that jaw and closed eyes just now.

“I was just resting a while under the sun. You're not disturbing me.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He pointed to a chair by the stove, and said, “The tea's ready. I was still worried that no one would drink it with me. I wonder if Miss Gloria has the time to have a cup with me?”

“I'd be more than happy to.” Gloria sat down with a smile, picked up a handkerchief on the table to pick up the teapot, and poured tea into two cups.

The two of them had drunk tea together several times, and could be considered good tea friends.

As the light tea scent wafted over, their minds and hearts were calmed.

“You must've been very busy with Blue Suede, right?” Mag asked as he picked up the ceramic cup, and felt the warmth through his fingers.

“Mm-hmm. I've bought a piece of land in the northern part of the city to build a new batch of factories. I intend to move all the production lines to the northern part of the city after we're done with this batch of down jackets,” Gloria said with a nod.

“Are the new factories ready?” Mag was slightly shocked. He didn't think that Gloria would be so ambitious and efficient. It was just last month when she talked about the factories not being able to produce enough for Blue Suede, and now she's already bought land, and the factories are even ready.

“Yes.” Gloria nodded. However, she worriedly said, “It's just that it's too difficult to hire tailors, and most of them request very high salaries. They quote them according to the price of a custom-made piece, and that raised the cost up by quite a lot.”

“They charge you according to a custom-made piece even though you went to them with a ready-made sketch?” Mag raised his brow. These tailors were so shameless.

“But they know the price of Blue Suede…”

“This is just a small opinion of mine. Make use of this period when you're s.h.i.+fting your factory to a.n.a.lyze the steps of the tailoring process. Other than customized pieces, the clothes that are produced in batches would only require nimble a.s.sembly line workers to work on after you've a.n.a.lyzed the steps. You don't need a tailor at all.” Mag looked at Gloria, and suggested, “Choose a batch of honest and reliable tailors from the current group that you have, and give them the role of technical supervisors so that they can be in charge of the different parts of the clothes-making process to ensure the quality of the clothes.”

“a.n.a.lyze the steps?” Gloria pondered for a while. Her eyes lit up, and she said, “If I a.n.a.lyzed the steps, I would be able to solve the problem of having a shortage of tailors, and that would also reduce the costs. Promoting the tailors to a managerial role would allow them to continue working on their strengths so that the overall quality of the finished product can be guaranteed while efficiency is increased.”

“Because this is a brand-new system, you need a trustworthy a.s.sistant that could oversee the entire process, and at the same time, you need a batch of workers that are easy to manage to help Blue Suede tide over this transition period,” Mag continued.

“Uncle Mars is a very outstanding talent in management. He has been managing the factory for me all this while. I believe that he could do well as the manager of the new factory. As for workers…” Gloria appeared troubled. Blue Suede had more than 200 employees currently, and it was true that some of them loved to goof off and were difficult to manage. She would need to hire even more workers at the new factory, and it would not be easy to hire good workers.

“Do you know that a group of elves has recently come to Chaos City?” Mag asked.

“I've heard that the elf princess, Princess Irina, led tens of thousands of elves over to Chaos City.” Gloria nodded. This was no secret in Chaos City, but why would Mag bring this up?

“Princess Irina has been dining at Mamy Restaurant often recently. I can help you ask her if the elves need to get a job. Maybe she can solve your problem,” Mag said with a smile.

“Elven workers?!” Gloria exclaimed with delight. Elves had been the most praised race on the Chaos City's workers market. They were infinitely adored by employers, be it because of their work att.i.tude or high efficiency.

If she could change to a batch of elven workers for the new factories, it would definitely be good news for Blue Suede.
