Alex listened to Lilia speak about the infrastructure development south of the Hazel Empire carefully and Einar would occasionally speak up, then give a more complete explanation.
Infrastructure development south of the Hazel Empire drained the finances of the Hazel Empire, with many Northern nobles protesting that the Emperor raised tribute payments to 50%.
Not to mention, the Emperor had also made a loan of One Million Gold Coins from Voldemort Bank to fund the construction of dams and irrigation.
If only relying on the funding of tribute provided by the Nobles and the inhabitants of the North, it was likely that the Hazel Empire would not be able to continue the construction of infrastructure in the south.
The purpose of Einar's arrival to the City of Peace was to invite the Seven Entrepreneurs to invest in the Southern region of the Hazel Empire.
Margaret, who is the owner of the Sarahmie factory, contacted Einar first. He was interested in investing in the Southern region which is famous for owning such a fertile land.
Margaret was willing to rent Ten Million Hectares of farmland along the coast to grow Coconut Trees. He also leased an agricultural land of One Million Hectares in a sub-tropical region near the southernmost region of the Hazel Empire to cultivate Wheat.
Alex was surprised to hear that and did not expect that Margaret would be so agile to expand the business. If it is like this, then the Dividend he will receive later in the year will certainly be a little, but for the long term it will actually increase the Company's profits.
On Earth, business expression is a natural thing to do by a Company. There are even companies that initially only produce motor vehicle machines, expanding their business to plantation and mining businesses so that the Company's profits rise many times.
Lilith, Viola, and Elenna came from the kitchen carrying trays with the food they had ordered.
“Wah, I can't wait to taste it!” Catherine's eyes twinkled at the Patin Fish Temple, Palempek Palembang, and Gado-gado before her.
Sarah took the Chopsticks and clamped the Submarine Pempek, then dipped them into a bowl containing Cuko or Pempek Kuah.
“Hmm, good!” Sarah's facial expression looked adorable and the way she chewed the egg-filled pempek made anyone who saw it swallow their saliva.
“Aaaaaaaa! I can't take it anymore!” Catherine shouted loudly, after swallowing her saliva while staring at Sarah chewing Pempek Palembang. “If you guys want to talk then just keep going, I'm starving!” complained again.
Catherine took the Chopsticks and clamped Pempek Lenjer, then dipped them into a bowl containing Cuko.
Catherine's face looked happy as she chewed on the Pempek Lenjer. “Lucky once I can eat this food from Heaven, is Brother Alex the God of Food Creation?”
Lilia shook her head at the nagging words of her daughter. However, suddenly Alex even said that he had become a God, so he could create good food. But he said it while laughing.
“I feel Brother Alex is really a God, because only a God can rise again after a slump and suddenly create many miracles—”
“Catherine!” lilia interrupted Catherine's words.
“Tempoyak This Satin Fish is very tasty, it seems like the spice contains Durian fruit,” said Miranda changed the topic of their conversation.
Naturally Miranda felt there was a durian taste from the Tempoyak Fish Patin, because Tempoyak itself is a fermentation of Durian meat. Ethnic Malays in Sumatra and Kalimantan use Tempoyak as a spice and also mixed with Sambal.
Lilia also tasted the Patin Fish Tempoyak. “This is so delicious, when are you going to release it in Pandora Guild Newspaper so that the residents in Hazel Empire can enjoy this delicious dish?
Alex smiled widely and said, “Because I just released some new dishes today, then these three menus will only be released next month.”
“Bos Alex has released a new menu?” Miranda was surprised to hear it, because she did not hear the news.
“Due to the invasion of Fish Monsters in the Demon Kingdom, the stock of Sea Fish became abundant. Instead of being unsold and wasted, I released the menu Balado Tuna Fish, Fish Head Soup, Spicy Oseng, Spicy Acid, Soybean Cook Tuna, and Gulai Kuah Santan. Actually there are still some other processed Sea Fish, but I will save it specially released first in Sarah's Restaurant first,” said Alex smiled widely.
“You have to buy the Newspaper of today's edition so that We don't miss that recipe.” Catherine said to Miranda. “Can it be used for River Fish type?” ask again.
“Of course you can, just how the chef who cooked it and determine the dosage of the spice to make it taste good. Experienced chef can certainly do it,” said Alex who did not so-so put a spoon containing Tinutuan Porridge into his mouth.
Lilia smiled warmly at Alex so Alex felt awkward.
“There's Mom, is there something wrong with my face?” search Alex curious.
Lilia shook her head and said, “I'm proud you've created many different types of food cooking recipes. Even now, everyone can cook good food without having to go to a fancy restaurant.” Because luxury restaurants usually always keep their recipes secret so that only those who sell good food.
Alex did not know what to say, if the one who spoke was Catherine then he would say no and boast. However, he did not dare to do it to his mother so he ended up just smiling.
Einar put down the Knife and fork after finishing finishing the Chicken Betutu. He then wiped his lips a clean handkerchief and downed the warm Tea.
“Are you full, let's talk about business?” Einar tells Alex, who again fails to put a spoon containing Tinutuan Porridge in his mouth, because he has to answer questions from his mother, Catherine, and Miranda. However, Einar chose to be quiet since then, even just answering Alex's question.
“This hodgepodge is delicious too, it's like a peanut salad!” catherine glanced at Alex.
“Please later if you want to ask me something, let me have breakfast quietly!” suhut Alex, because the worms in his stomach have been drumming because the intake of nutrients never come.
“Cih, who forbids Sister to eat? Just brother who procrastinated the spoon containing Tinutuan Porridge entered your mouth, even though the spoon has almost touched your lips,” grumbled Catherine while devouring Gado-gado greedily. “Ah, the pleasure ... lf there wasn't much work to take care of in the Hazel Empire, then I'd be on leave for a Year in order to have a good meal all day here.”
“But Aunty always complains when told Dad to do the dishes!” sidelines Sarah with an innocent facial expression—which makes everyone laugh, while Catherine looks embarrassed.
