Chapter 114 - 114. Internship For Chefs Opens Up At Castle Keating-Macleod (2/2)
”Hmm...Audemars, it's a pleasure meeting you. If you do find such cooks, please recommend them to us first. Remember, it's Secret and Petunia. You can ask anyone and they could direct you to our humble abode.” they excused themselves after saying that and leave.
”Even better than I thought, we could run a culinary class here, Level up on my skills and then runs an employment agency, certify them with various certificates so that their employees would know their speciality, earns 30% out from their 3500 credits a month salary for 6 months and release them without a clause thereafter.”
”At least, one way or another, these chefs would be able to upgrade their lives and improve their livelihood. Heh heh heh... Killing two birds at one time and not only would we have adventurers in the future, but we would also have chefs that would also contribute to our wealth considerably.”
”Next stop, the Statistic Office of Ingmery...” I said to myself as I finished my smoke and my drink as I head down to the Council Chamber for another purpose. Soon passersby were exchanging pleasantries as I walked in the town square as I clasped my hands to my chest and bowed slightly to them as I made m way to the Council Chambers.
”Good morrow, young master. What can we do for you?” asked a lady receptionist since i had approached her once before and now approaching her for another purpose.
”Do you know how many noble families living in the whole of Ingmery?” I asked bluntly and to check if the figure available is feasible for me to embark on this little business venture of mine.
”Oh, there's about 2500 noble families here in Ingmery. A thousand each on the North and South District and 500 over here in Central. You are considered as one of the nobles too.” the lady receptionist added after she had informed me of the number of families.
”Arch... I'm just a commoner like everyone else. Poke a knife here and it would bleed red. Nothing differentiates between nobility and a commoner. It's just status as well as wealth. Would a noble be walking around with just 100 credits in his pouch?”
”I don't think so right? Furthermore, nobles were known for their flair of fashion... As for me, I get to wear whatever I like as long as it is comfortable. Furthermore, what's important is about respect and reputation. What's the use of being a noble if he got a screw loose or of unscrupulous background, am I right?”
I replied and thanked her and she was taken aback about how I describe a noble as a fitting as a commoner and how important is the gained respect and reputation instead of wealth and status.
....
When I got back, it was time for lunch and by looking at the 2 cooks, I'm sure they would like to upgrade themselves, get certified and then off they go to be properly employed because right now they only earned 1000 credits per month for a 12 hours work with a day off every 6 days.
I spoke to Patricia about my idea and she was delighted to learn that I would be improving the livelihood of the people around here and she is sure a lot of people would enrol in this programme. I explained that there would be a batch of 10 chefs per session to train and during their internship, they would earn 1000 credits a month, once after that, I could start to advertise to the noble families starting with the Secret and Petunia family.
The children were excited at this new business venture that I would embark pretty soon and were delighted that cakes, pastries and puddings would be served daily and their meals would also change tremendously.
”Daddy, that means today you would join us for the levelling up, right?” Adam asked as he was anticipating me to join them after lunch. ”That's right, children, Daddy would join you soon. Mummy would help Daddy put up an advertisement in the town square for an internship with monthly salary and then we all could head down to the Northern Forest to grind and level up.”
”Tomorrow, you would meet with Quest Master Rebecca and perform your second quest. It had been like a few months since your last quest down in the dungeons.”
”Yeeaayy...Auntie Becky, tell the hoodlums not to scare me too much ok?” pleaded Kayla as she finished off her meal and places the plate into the washbasin.
