After an hour of mental struggle, Raina finally decided to carefully take the alarm clock out of the box. Following the instruction manual, she set the alarm clock at 5: 30 AM. She then carefully placed the alarm clock at the head of the bed, extinguished the oil lamp, and lay back on the bed.
Listening to the light ticking of the clock, Raina, who was tired from the day's work, quickly fell asleep.
"Ding ling ling!"
Early the next morning, Raina was woken up by a clear ringing sound. When she sat up in bed, she looked around in surprise. After a while, she realized that it was the alarm clock at the head of the bed. She picked it up and looked at it. Using the dim light from the window, she saw that the hand had just reached 5: 30 AM.
"Wow, it really did ring at 5: 30 AM. This alarm clock is amazing." Raina's eyes lit up. It was much better than the rooster next door. Their rooster would sometimes crow in the middle of the night, making people unable to tell when it was really daybreak.
"Alright, I've used it all day. It's time to return it. Such a precious gift can't be casually accepted." Rena pressed the switch gently, and turned off the alarm clock that was still ringing. She put it back into the box, and then put it in her pocket solemnly before going out to wash up.
When Raina arrived outside Amy's, it was 5 minutes to 6 AM. Meg, who had already washed up and was downstairs, saw the figure outside the window and opened the door to let Raina in.
"You're very punctual today." Meg said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you for the alarm clock. It let me sleep well." Raina also smiled and nodded. She then took out the box from her pocket and handed it to Meg with both hands.
"This is?"
"I can't accept such a precious gift, but I have already accepted your kind intentions. Thank you very much." Raina said with a serious face.
Meg fell into deep thought as he looked at the alarm clock. If this alarm clock was replaced with a spring, it could be sold for 50,000 Copper Coins in this world. With its beautiful appearance, it should be able to attract the attention and love of girls.
However, he had spent 25 copper coins to buy this from the system. Because he was worried that Raina would feel pressured, he had specially chosen a simple and cheap design. He did not expect that this lass would give it back after using it for a day.
"I don't have the habit of taking back the gifts I've given out." Meg shook his head and looked at Raina with a smile. "And I was going to inform you of another thing today. From tomorrow onwards, you will be fully responsible for making breakfast for the cleaners, providing the congee with pork and century egg for breakfast in the restaurant, and independently supporting the designated hot pot area of the restaurant. Therefore, this alarm clock is not only a gift, but also a guarantee that you can arrive at the restaurant at the correct time to serve the guests. "
Raina looked at Meg in shock. She almost could not believe what she had just heard.
"From tomorrow onwards, I plan to go out. As I don't know how many days I will be gone, closing the restaurant is not very friendly to the guests. Currently, the only dishes that can meet the standards of hospitality are your hot pot and Phyllis's roast beef kebabs. Therefore, the restaurant can only be handed over to you for the next few days," Meg explained with a smile.
"But … I've just learned how to make the mildly spicy hot pot. You said that the congee with pork and century egg is still not good enough …" Raina said worriedly.
"So, I hope that you can really master the congee with pork and century egg this morning. Otherwise, I can only remove it from the temporary menu."
Raina looked at Meg. After hesitating for a while, she nodded. "I will work hard."
"Okay, then let's start today." Meg nodded. He was very satisfied with Raina's attitude.
The cleaners' breakfast was made by Rena under Mag's guidance. The cleaners, who had been eating porridge with egg for a month, praised Mag as usual after they finished their porridge. They didn't find anything different from before.
Meg also had a bowl of congee himself. He gave Raina a thumbs-up, and said with a smile, "Very good. You will be able to master the subtle differences in the heat after cooking it a few more times."
"Okay." Raina nodded. She looked more confident.
During breakfast, Meg announced to everyone that he would be going out the next day. The date of his return was not set yet. Raina and Phyllis would be in charge of the restaurant. They would use the temporary menu to let the restaurant continue operating.
However, because there were too few dishes to choose from, the lunch hours were canceled. They would only provide congee with pork and century egg for breakfast, and hot pot and roast beef kebabs for dinner.
"Will the customers protest?" Yabemiya asked worriedly.
"Especially the tofu pudding. I'm afraid those crazy women will tear down the restaurant," Barbara agreed.
"I think they will get used to it gradually." Meg was also not very sure. However, it was already a miracle that Raina could learn how to make hot pot in two to three days, and let the designated hot pot area continue operating. He could not ask for more.
"It might be easier in the next few days. You can adjust your rest days according to the restaurant's situation. I will leave it to you to adjust yourselves," Meg said to everyone.
"In that case, the ice cream shop can be open for a longer period of time every day," Yabemiya said thoughtfully.
In the afternoon, Irina told Meg that the Night Elves had already arrived at Chaos City, and had obtained permission to enter the city. They were already at the city lord's castle.
"You can go and meet up with the Night Elves first. I will make a trip to the city lord's castle and act according to the original plan." Meg told Irina, and arranged for Raina to practice on her own. He pushed his bicycle out, and went straight to the city lord's castle.
"Mr. Mak, why are you here?" Meg bumped into Michael, who was riding back, when he arrived at the city lord's castle.
"City Lord." Meg nodded slightly, and then smilingly said, "I heard that a new batch of elves came to Chaos City. I recruited a good elven employee through the city lord's castle's job fair previously, so I specially came over to take a look. The factory I invested in in the north of the city is about to be completed, and it needs a batch of employees."
"Mr. Mak is quite well-informed. I came back precisely because of this. Why don't we go and take a look together?" Michael said to Meg with a smile, but he was criticizing him in his heart. You rascal, aren't you here to help your wife get people?
"Then, I'll have to trouble you, City Lord," Meg said with a smile. He parked his bicycle at the city lord's castle's entrance, and followed Michael in.
The whole recruitment process was very smooth, so smooth that Meg felt that the city lord's castle was going easy on him. They handed over all 1,125 Night Elves to him, and even gave them temporary residence permits in Chaos City. They completely ignored the other bosses who came to recruit them, even if they offered better conditions.
"Our city lord's castle is only responsible for building the platform. We have to respect the elves' wishes. If you have any ideas, you can ask them personally if they are willing to accept your job." The city lord's castle's staff left right away after saying that.
The bosses who were unwilling to give up went forward to offer better conditions, but they were all rejected by the elves they chose without any reason.
Meg, who was being looked at with envy and jealousy, smiled at the elves, and said, "Thank you very much for trusting me and choosing me. Let me bring you to your dormitory now."
