The system remained silent for a long time, then seemed a little annoyed, saying, "Please act according to normal logic, host. This operation is causing serious problems for this system!"
"Anyway, I'll launch a new product crowdfunding campaign for 3,000 gold coins tomorrow, and then directly purchase 3,000 gold coins worth of ingredients with cash." Mai Ge paused slightly, then calmly emphasized, "3,000 gold coins, cash."
"Granted." The system replied instantly.
Mai Ge's lips curled slightly. This system really had no principles. He smiled and patted Amy's head, "Alright, how about I make La Zhi Rou Jia Mo for Little Amy the day after tomorrow morning?"
"La Zhi Rou Jia Mo?" Amy's eyes lit up immediately. She looked at Mai Ge with curiosity and asked, "Daddy, what's that?"
"A kind of food that's a hundred times tastier than a sweet crispy biscuit. You'll know when Amy wakes up the day after tomorrow morning." Mai Ge kept her in suspense, not revealing too much.
"That must be incredibly delicious." Amy thought about the taste seriously—a hundred times better than sweet crispy biscuits—and looked at Mai Ge with anticipation.
"Okay, Amy, go wash up first, then change into your pajamas and lie on bed obediently. I'll wash the dishes and clean the restaurant before I tell you a story, okay?" Mai Ge withdrew his hand.
"Okay." Amy nodded obediently, climbed down from the high stool, squatted down, and gently patted the Big Egg wrapped in a blanket. She said earnestly, "Ugly Duckling, you should sleep well too, and then come out early and grow up quickly." Then, with some difficulty, she climbed the stairs with her short legs.
Mai Ge smiled, glanced at the Big Egg on the floor, and felt a pang of sympathy for this unborn child named Ugly Duckling.
The plates and spoons were washed directly in the dishwasher, the sixteen tables were cleaned, and the floor was mopped. Looking at the clean and tidy restaurant, Mai Ge smiled. Although a little tired, he felt very fulfilled; it was a good workout, and for now, he didn't need to ask a staff for help.
When Mai Ge turned off the lights and went upstairs, Amy, dressed in her bear pajamas, was already fast asleep, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering slightly, like a little angel.
Mai Ge put her little hands under the blanket and tucked the corners in. It seemed the little one was very sleepy today.
"System, I want to buy a pair of pajamas, a brown one with a big bear on it." Mai Ge thought to himself.
"This system…"
"Cash payment."
"The pajamas are in the wardrobe. Please check, host." A line of small text silently appeared.
He opened the closet and found a set of brown, fluffy bear pajamas inside, with a cute bear design on the front.
"Very good." Mai Ge nodded in satisfaction, took the clothes, and went to take a shower.
If this was his past life, he would never have worn pajamas like this; he'd be furious if anyone suggested it.
But now, he was thinking: Amy will be so happy to see this when she wakes up tomorrow morning, right?
After showering and changing into his pajamas, Mai Ge returned to his room and lay on bed thinking about crowdfunding. The concept was definitely too advanced for this world. And the restaurant had only been open for two days; crowdfunding a large sum of money like three thousand gold coins was no easy feat.
After thinking for a while, Mai Ge had a general idea. The people dining at the restaurant these past two days were mostly middle-class, with decent spending power, and he had gleaned some information from their conversations.
Mo Bai is one of the few dwarven craftsmen in this Chaos City. He can sell a weapon for 1,000 gold coins. He eats two servings of Yang Zhou Fried Rice every single meal daily without fail. Besides the delicious taste, it is probably also to relieve muscle fatigue and become a long term customer.
Ha Ga and Ha Beng are the sons of the orc tribe chieftain, in charge of the tribe's procurement. Their ability to order weapons and equipment for the tribe's warriors in bulk from Mo Bai reminded Mai Ge of Di • Bai providing his police with supercars—it was probably something like that.
As for Kang Di, he didn't reveal much about his identity, but aside from the black donkey, the few accessories he casually showed proved he was a wealthy second generation, someone who certainly didn't lack money.
He also remembered the elven girl who came yesterday, but she probably didn't have much money, so she hadn't come back in these two days and wasn't considered.
There were a few other guests who came to eat today, but he wasn't very familiar with them, and it wouldn't be good to make recommendations rashly, so for now, these were his targets.
After deciding, Mai Ge glanced at Amy, who was still sleeping peacefully, reached out and turned off the light, and soon fell asleep himself.
After a good night's sleep, Mai Ge opened his eyes early the next morning to find a little figure standing at the head of his bed, her mouth slightly open, looking at him with delight.
"Our Little Amy's awake so early." Mai Ge said with a smile, sitting up and ruffling Amy's hair.
"Mmm, Daddy's clothes are bear-themed, just like Little Amy's, and a big bear at that! Amy is a little bear, so it's a little bear and a bear Daddy, right?" Amy asked happily, pointing to the big bear in front of Mai Ge.
"Yes, does Little Amy like it?" Mai Ge nodded with a smile.
"Little Amy loves it! And it's so soft and warm!" Amy immediately jumped into Mai Ge's arms, rubbing her face against his clothes and closing her eyes comfortably.
Mai Ge looked at Amy, who was nestled in front of him like a kitten, and felt his heart melt. He played with Amy for a while before washing up and going downstairs.
"Other people's fathers tie their hair for them. When are you going to tie Little Amy's hair?" After coming downstairs, Amy got out of Mai Ge's arms, touched her stray tuft of hair, and pouted as she looked at Mai Ge and asked.
"Um… I'll try my best." Mai Ge scratched his head a little awkwardly. This was a real problem for him. If today's crowdfunding was successful, he would definitely buy the hair-tying experience pack from the system first, so that Little Amy could have any hairstyle she wanted.
"Go for it, Daddy! Little Amy believe in you!" Amy encouraged him, clenching her little fist.
"Okay." Mi Ge nodded, somewhat amused.
After having breakfast with Amy, Mai Ge took out a pen and paper and wrote six identical registration forms, each worth 500 gold coins. After carefully checking them and finding no problems, he glanced at the time and realized it was time to open the restaurant, so he went over and opened the door.
"Boss Mai, business was good yesterday." The first to arrive was Mo Bai, who sat down in his usual spot and smiled. "The usual, two servings of Yang Zhou Fried Rice."
"Boss Mo brought in quite a few customers. Please wait a moment." Mai Ge nodded with a smile.
"Boss Mai, we're here again, five orders of Yang Zhou Fried Rice each." Just as Mo Bai sat down, Ha Beng and Ha Ga arrived, and the sound of hooves echoed outside.
Mai Ge smiled and nodded, not rushing into the kitchen. Instead, he waited for Kang Di to enter and sit down before looking at the four of them and saying, "Since the restaurant has just opened, we're experiencing some cash flow difficulties. So, I'm planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign for a new product. Would you be interested in participating?"
