181 Scheming of Business (1/2)
Walking around the food district, the group came across a large variety of stores selling exotic goods. There were quite a few Asian herbs and spices which certainly aren't common in America. Some of the herbs and spices weren't seen in any of the previous cities they've been to.
Finally, after walking around for 10 minutes, Mariel halted her movement. To her right was a large open area, next to that open area were two large scale restaurants. On the left was a Japanese style restaurant while the one on the right was a Vietnamese style restaurant.
The twos signs at the front of the restaurants read aloud.
”Odayakana Doragon”
”Bản gốc châu á”
Odayakana Doragon was the Japanese style restaurants, its exterior was rather relaxing and pleasing on the eye. The wall was mainly stone painted white while it had redwood for the lining and corners. It had a slight balcony with people on the second and third floor, the pillars were red as well. People were going in and out of the restaurant with blissful expressions.
Bản gốc châu á, on the other hand, had a much more modern exterior design. It had a simple stone wall with clean windows showcasing the inside of the building. The balcony was created with a dark brown wood while the third floor in the restaurant was completely sealed off. Similarly to Odayakana doragon, the Vietnamese restaurant had people consistently going in and out.
”The top floor is probably for VIPs,” Lachlan muttered as he looked between the two restaurants, comparing the two in terms of exterior design. Since they might be staying here, he would check out the food in a little while, see how it compares with their own food truck.
”It may also be used to live it,” Mariel explained politely in a composed manner. ”Some restaurant owners would create a floor that'll be used as their houses. Due to the sudden increase in property prices, this has grown much more common.”

”Really? Though I wouldn't expect to see two owners of flourishing businesses living in their restaurant,” Joe said as he crossed one arm and stroked his chin with the other. ”After all, considering their popularity it would be no surprise to me that they're racking in stacks of cash. Seriously, look at the number of customers they're getting.”
”Although you're correct in that they're earning quite the living from the restaurant, it isn't a bad idea to be a bit stingier in what you do with the money you earn. Whether you want to spend a bit more on a house or not is up to them. Not to mention that living in the restaurant is much more profitable,” Mariel explained.
”I suppose if we create a restaurant instead of a food truck, we'll be able to create a living area for the employees,” Georgia muttered as she looked back to the large open land. It was roughly 50 x 30 metres wide and long, should they split the area in two that'll be enough room for both businesses.
And since the two businesses are so close together there wouldn't be any problem in creating an automation system which transports the newly cut meats into the restaurant. That way, the restaurant will have a fresh supply of meat every day.
”Alright, this is a pretty decent place, let's go on to the next spot,” Lachlan said as he turned to face Mariel. Waiting for her to take and lead again and escort them to the next plot of land available. Mariel nodded before she began walking.
While Mariel was in the lead, escorting them to the next plot of land,her subordinates were in the back of the group protecting the rear. Granted, there wasn't any reason for them to do that but was more so because it's just a nice gesture.
Walking for another 2 minutes they were once again greeted by a large plot of land. It was slightly smaller than the other plot of land, being 40 x 25 metres. However, to its sides were two rather lush and extravagant pubs that radiated with night time energy.
To its right was a pub called Daily Drink, the walls were made out of brick while the rest was made of a hardwood. The creators of the wood had wanted it to possess a slightly deeper tone of reddish-brown. There were a few people at the front drinking bottle of beer, some of them had their children alongside them.
To the left, was a pub called Iggris it had a similar design as Daily Drink but just slightly more vibrant. The businesswoman running the pace possessed an expression of arrogance at all times. She was currently sitting against the wall drinking something alcoholic while reading something on her phone. Granted, they weren't completely sure she was the owner. They did, however, know that she was ordering around the employees harshly.
Mariel came up and whispered in their eyes a fact that thoroughly intrigued them. ”The woman that owns Iggris is called Amanda, she's also the person currently sitting against the wall. She possesses a nasty temperament which no one wants to get on the bad side of.”
”She's also the only female pub owner currently in this city, she abuses her staff, but they can't do anything since they need the money. However, despite possessing such a nasty temperament and business management issues the bar still remains around the top due to their great food,” Mariel added on.
