Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1521: Queen Of The Hot Pot

“Half of the equity rights?” Rena was shocked to hear that, and she quickly shook her head. “No, you created the hot pot and provided the funds. I didn’t do anything, so how can I take so many of the equity rights? I simply want to let the ordinary people try the scrumptious hot pot.”

“Allowing more people to try the scrumptious hot is a good idea itself. It’s also the spirit that a chef should have. Moreover, how could you say that you have done nothing. It’s not easy to open a hot pot restaurant. You have to choose the location, renovation, and the ingredient suppliers, and manage the daily operation. You need to invest a great deal of time and energy into every aspect of it.” Mag smiled at Rena. “To me, this is an investment of money and skills, and Rena, I feel you’re a very suitable partner. Half of the shares is the foundation of our collaboration and what you deserve.”

“But...” Rena was still hesitating.

“I hope your hot pot restaurant will not be confined to Chaos City. Why not let everyone in the world fall in love with eating hot pot?” asked Mag.

“Let everyone in the world fall in love with eating hot pot...” Rena’s eyes slowly lit up as she felt the world in her mind suddenly expanded.

The world beyond Chaos City was once very far for her, as she had to work hard for her survival, but now her boss was putting the whole world in front of her.

Let the hot pot get out of Mamy Restaurant, get out of Chaos City, and make everyone in the world fall in love with eating hot pot!

Rena felt her heart begin to race just thinking about it.

“We can plan this slowly. There’s no need to rush. I will go prepare breakfast for everyone first.” Mag got up to walk to the kitchen. He knew that Rena could grow into a very good manager. Of course, his expectation for her was to become the Queen of the Hot Pot.

As for him...

He would be the man behind the Queen of the Hot Pot.

Just thinking about it, Mag felt it was a very cost-effective angel investment.

This was a completely empty area, and the extreme popularity of Mamy Restaurant’s hot pot area had already proven this market’s extensity.

Rena sat on her seat, and considered Mag’s words seriously. Although she felt that the terms that the boss had given were too wonderful, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity to change her life.

Opening a hot pot restaurant with Boss and being forced to join Bennett brought two completely different feelings. She didn’t have to bear the name of a traitor, or go against her principles. Furthermore, they even had the exact same goals and purposes.

As a person who had dreamed of becoming a chef and offering her customers delicacies since she was young, Rena was indeed very tempted by Mag’s suggestion.

Constrained by its ingredients, the restaurant’s extremely exquisite hot pot was destined to be unable to achieve a large-scale promotion.

How to create a down-to-earth hot pot was to be what she and the new hot pot restaurant got to do.

But if I don’t do it... then nobody is going to do it. Rena turned to look at Mag who was busy in the kitchen. Boss was a chef who sought perfection. Apart from the restaurant’s daily operation, a lot of his effort was spent on developing new products.

Boss was the most talented chef that she had ever met. The speed of his releasing the new products was astonishing. His new and creative methods of cooking always gave a shock to the industry.

If a person like him wasted his energy on hot pot, that would definitely be a loss to the culinary world.

As for her...

She liked hot pot, and also knew that her capability was limited, so she could only focus on the hot pot. Making it affordable and retaining most of its taste was already not an easy feat. Her gaze gradually became resolute as she thought of that.

After the breakfast was over, Mag had nothing else to do, so he continued to teach Harris and Chapman how to make “husband and wife lung slice”.

Chapman’s “husband and wife lung slice” had already reached 80-90% of Mag’s standard. His control of the details was also getting more and more mature.

Meanwhile, Harris forcefully closed the gap between him and Chapman that was created by Mag’s tapping with his rich experience and culinary skills that far exceeded normal chefs’.

“When do you intend to leave Chaos City?” Mag asked curiously after tasting their “husband and wife lung slice”.

“Chaos City is an interesting place. We don’t mind staying here for a while longer.” Harris smiled at Mag as he buttered him up. “If Master doesn’t mind, you can also teach us a few more dishes. I have very great respect for that ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’.”

Mag couldn’t help laughing at Harris after looking at his luscious black hair. “Your hair has almost all grown out, so why are you still looking at ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’?”

“Isn’t this once bitten twice shy? It’s one thing that it has grown out, but it’s another matter to prevent it from falling out again.” Harris chuckled.

Mag rolled his eyes. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to teach, but this dish was so complicated and demanding on its ingredients that it was destined that nobody else could replicate this ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ exactly once it left Mag’s kitchen.

As for the hair-growing effect, Mag guessed it was most probably due to one or a few of its ingredients’ characteristics. This effect might disappear if they changed to ingredients that came from another location.

However, he, too, had gained a great deal after spending these few days with Harris, especially on the cutting skills. He learned many practical techniques from him. Harris’ understanding of the ingredients’ characteristics had also amazed him.

“Mother, Boss is letting me...” Rena returned to the dormitory and repeated Mag’s suggestion to her mother.

Clarince shook her head after pondering. “Boss Mag is a nice person. He just saved you yesterday, and he’s going to help you set up a restaurant now. He is providing the techniques and the skills, and you’re taking half of the shares simply by doing some stuff. We will be ashamed to accept that.”

“Mm-hmm.” Rena nodded. After a moment of hesitation, she continued, “But, if I don’t do it, then nobody is going to promote the hot pot. Boss has more important things to do, and the others are busy too. I really want to let more people try the hot pot. People in Chaos City, and even beyond Chaos City, could try the affordable hot pot.”

Clarince looked at the spark in Rena’s eyes, which resembled a tiny sun, and smilingly nodded. “Then, you will go and do it. Boss Mag supports you, and I support you too.”

“Boss, I’m done thinking. I am willing to go and open a new hot pot restaurant.” Rena stayed back to talk to Mag after the lunch service. Mag was removing his apron as she gravely said, “But I only want 10% of the hot pot restaurant’s equity.”
