My dear sister, you've put on such a good amount of weight.
(Page 1/1)
The introduction of eggplant with garlic sauce had greatly boosted the sales of rice, so it was inevitable that more rice would be added. Otherwise, no one would be willing to leave the remaining half of the eggplant with garlic sauce.
"I can't take it anymore. From tomorrow onwards, I'll only order a sweet tofu pudding when I come to Mamy's. I've already gained five kilograms this month."
"I've gained weight too … But my husband doesn't mind. Instead, he said … it feels better."
"Forget it. I heard you say that last month. But my dear sister, you've put on such a good amount of weight. Of course it feels good. Even I want to touch it. I'm so jealous …"
A few noblewomen walked out of the restaurant, chatting and joking with each other. Their faces were full of satisfaction.
The restaurant's opening hours were over. Yabemiya flipped the wooden sign over the door, closed the door, and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Everyone in the restaurant heaved sighs of relief almost at the same time. After the restaurant had doubled in size, the intensity of work had more than doubled. After more than an hour, the fatigue was too strong.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I have to go out for a while. I'll leave the rest of the work to you." Meg came out of the kitchen, took off his apron, and hung it at the side. He went upstairs to change into casual clothes, and then went downstairs to walk out the door.
There was already a horse-drawn carriage with the Buffett Family emblem parked at the door. A middle-aged man who looked like a secretary was standing in front of the carriage. When he saw Meg coming out, he went up to him with a smile. "Mr. Meg, Miss Hill asked me to pick you up."
"Alright." Meg nodded slightly. This was one of Miss Hill's personal secretaries. He had met him before.
Meg got into the horse-drawn carriage, and the secretary sat across from him with a smile. However, he didn't initiate a conversation with him. Meg didn't ask too many questions, either. The steam locomotive was supposed to be a highly confidential matter. He wasn't sure if this secretary had the authority to know about it.
The horse-drawn carriage moved forward steadily, and exited Chaos City from the east city gate. After driving along the main road for a while, it entered a side path and continued on its way.
Meg wasn't too surprised by this. Building a train was a massive undertaking, so it naturally couldn't be carried out in Chaos City. Otherwise, the entire Norland Continent would know about it by the next day.
Furthermore, Mr. Hill said that the first section of the railway was going to Vic Mountain. That meant that Buffett Bank and Chaos City had already reached an agreement with the goblins, so it wasn't strange for them to build a base in the east of the city.
The unicorn's speed was very fast, but it still took about half an hour before it stopped in front of a large mountain.
"Mr. Meg, we're here." The secretary stood up and got out of the carriage.
Meg lifted a corner of the carriage's curtain and glanced at the seemingly ordinary stone wall. His eyes narrowed slightly as he could feel a faint aura of magic coming from the stone wall. Some kind of magic array should have been used to conceal the entrance.
However, Meg's face didn't show the slightest bit of abnormality. Lowering the curtain, he got up and followed out of the carriage. Looking at the stone wall with a face of surprise, he said, "Here?"
"Yes." The secretary nodded with a smile. He took out a black token from his pocket, and pressed it directly on the stone wall.
A golden ripple appeared on the stone wall that looked like an ordinary stone. With a twist of space, a whirlpool that could accommodate one person appeared on the stone wall.
"Mr. Meg, please come in," the secretary said to Meg with a smile.
Meg hesitated for a moment, and walked straight in.
After a short moment of darkness, the light became bright all of a sudden.
Meg squinted slightly. After adjusting to the light, he looked around, and his eyes lit up immediately.
This was a large passage that was over 10 meters wide and close to 20 meters high. Two parallel tracks were laid on the ground, extending all the way in. There seemed to be an even bigger space inside.
Above his head, the light from the magic array illuminated the passage. Meg felt as if he had come to a giant's cave.
Soon, Meg felt a few senses sweep over his body. If he wasn't mistaken, they were at least the mental senses of magicians above the ninth level. There was even a tenth level magician among them.
"Sure enough, it's a big deal." Meg secretly praised in his heart. To be able to let a great magician guard the base here, the importance that Buffett Banks and the city lord's office attached to the steam locomotive could be imagined.
"Mr. Meg, please come with me. Miss Hill and the city lord are already waiting in front." The secretary looked at Meg and smiled.
"Lord Michael is also here?" Meg was a little surprised.
"Yes." The secretary nodded, but didn't explain much.
Meg followed the secretary into the depths of the cave. As they went deeper, the sound of metal hitting metal gradually increased. After about five minutes of walking, a huge karst cave appeared in front of Meg. Crisscrossing tracks filled the karst cave. The dwarven blacksmiths' heavy hammers smashed a string of sparks on the iron blocks. The magicians cast magic to melt the iron into molten iron, extract the iron, and then mold it into the required shape. The work was in full swing.
On the centermost hanging platform, a four-section steam locomotive displayed its extraordinary iron bones. It was a steam locomotive that was about twice as wide as an ordinary train.
"It looks like it." Meg stopped and looked up at the steam locomotive with its chimney pointing to the sky, revealing a smile.
"Mr. Mak, you're here." At this time, a forthright voice sounded from the side.
Meg turned around with a smile, and said, "I've kept the city lord and Miss Hill waiting."
"Mamy's is the face of Chaos City now. It's naturally important to satisfy the customers. Besides, we just finished our discussion. Mr. Mak, you came at the right time." Michael shook his head with a smile.
Hill smiled at Meg, and said, "Mr. Meg is very punctual. However, if you're going back to prepare dinner, let's start the assessment first."
"Miss Hill, you know me well. Let's go and take a look now." Meg nodded. Of course, it was very important to go back and prepare dinner. After all, he didn't even apply for leave. It wouldn't be good to stand up a customer for no reason.
"Mr. Meg, please come with me." The chief engineer at the side led Meg to the centermost hanging platform, and a human-powered lift lifted them up to the platform.
"Mr. Meg is the designer, and you've made the actual product yourself. Naturally, you're very familiar with the structure of the steam locomotive. However, during the manufacturing process, we made some changes to the details after our discussion …" Bourell led Meg around the steam locomotive and began to explain it in detail.
An hour later, Meg handed a page that was almost filled with words to Bourell, and smilingly said, "The parts that I think need to be changed are all here. You can refer to it, Chief Bourell."
