Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 98

After they had left, I took out my notepad and checked the orders that Blake, Bruce and Atelier had ordered and I ran it through once more.

Blake didn’t ask for Level 4 weapons but I think once I upgraded it to Level 5 iron, then I’m sure everyone would want them to be upgraded and sell it at a higher price.

Greedy Bastard… Hah hah hah… I’m also greedy, right? Getting a 40% cut by using their efforts. Maybe this time around I would settle for 30% since I’ve got too many credits and I would prefer to use it all up for the future House of Keating.

Atelier: 500 pieces x2 sets x4 designs each and 250 pieces x2 sets x4 designs of gugels. Total is 4000 Level 4 mesh iron sets since the designs are the same except to break it down to 2 classes.

Bruce: 500 pieces of x4 amulets and 500 pieces of x4 rings. These rings would be Level 4 iron trinkets and the total is 4000 pieces as well.

Blake: 500 pieces of Level 4 iron throwing knives, throwing star, 3 bladed cyclone twister, 6 bladed cyclone star and dragon fang dagger.

There are 5 items and the total would be 2500 pieces.

Myself: Level 15 iron. 900 strikes. 15 minutes. Adds only +9 to my base and Blacksmith level. I’ve got 310 more to go before I become a Professional Blacksmith and for every 1000 level, the iron piece would be increased to Level 16. Adoi… Why take so long… ?!?!

I slipped the notepad, the new set of clothes from Atelier and the new weapons from Blake back in my storage and called the children to wash their faces and then we are going out for dinner and ice cream.

“Yeay…we all thought Daddy had forgotten all about it. Since Daddy had been sleeping the whole time, we were afraid that you might have caught amnesia or something. Hii Hii Hii…” giggled Ingles as she ushered everyone to wash their faces first to get rid of the pieces of evidence that they were snacking in their rooms.

“Trish… Can you tell me how much is the salary for employees?” I gestured for Patricia because of its high time the employees enjoy the fruits of their labour.

“The 220 production employees were earning 700 as before. The 7 line leaders earn 750. Delivery guys earn 1500. The travelling merchants earn 2000. Cooks earn 1000, the matron earns 1200 and Silas gets 36k credits as he bought the ingredients himself.”

“Hmm, in that’s the case, an increment of salary as follows: employees 750, line leaders 800, delivery guys 1700, merchants 2200, cooks 1200, matron 1500, Silas 40k. Calculate for me, dear.” I asked for Patricia’s help to calculate the salary for the next 3 months and she gave me a final count.”

“Production employees 165k, line leaders 5.6k, delivery 51k, merchants 66k, cooks 4.8k, matron 1.5k and Silas 40k. Total per month is 282.9k and for a quarterly, it is 849k round off to the nearest figure.”

“Do you need operational costs as well? It is 675k per month and quarterly is 2.025 million credits. However, our monthly input from Blake, Bruce and Atelier would be like 5 million. The store makes 450k low to a high of 750k. Furthermore, our accumulated sales from 87 other towns would be 4 to 5 million on average per month. This adds up to approximately 10.5 million before and 9 million after deducting the operational costs.”

“Right, you have 25 million and I have 3, here combine all these. I don’t think I need so many credits at all. I just need enough to live by. So you would have 28 million credits right now.”

“Why do you give me so many credits for? Are you leaving somewhere?” Patricia suddenly had a worrisome look and she was wringing her hands until her fingernails went white.

“‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again, Oh babe, I hate to go… Woo, woo woooooo… Just joking darling… I’m not leaving anywhere… Only to spend some time with you and the children as we go for dinner in a nice restaurant and have ice cream sandwich later… Dum Dum Dooby Doo Dum Dum… ”

Patricia smiled at me and threw herself at me and I caught her just in time, in case she misses and landed on the floor instead. Hah hah hah…

….

“Wow… We have never seen this place before existed in the marketplace… Am I right, Adam?”

“Yes, that’s true, Ingles… Its as if this restaurant had just popped up like a mushroom…”

“Daddy, Daddy… Did your wisps make this restaurant while you are in a coma? These deep-fried chicken pieces are delicious… They have the original 11 spices taste and also the spicy and crispy ones… Wow… I’m really spoilt for choices too…!!! Jane was sitting with 3 plates of deep-fried chicken parts on the front of her and was spread and shared like a platter.

“Daddy… Don’t tell me this restaurant belongs to the House of Keating? This mashed potatoes with the mushroom gravy are supercilious… Furthermore, they have this potato, shaped into matchsticks, crinkle cut, steaks, chips, sweet, wedges, cottage, potato tornado and smiley shapes… ”

“I didn’t know potatoes can be made like this and why do they call it French Fries?” 9 small wicker baskets filled with fried complete with ketchup, garlic chilli, sour cream, thousand Island dressing and sweet chilli dippings and Kayla was basically trying every dipping and she liked the smiley French fries the most.

“I don’t know why they called them French Fries, Kayla… But all 6 of us can share some right, a little bit here and there and lastly we could have our ice-cream. Maybe the French invaded the land of potatoes and took over the country and continents this naming it French fries after the potatoes had been fried.”

“Wow… Mummy look… There are 24 flavours of ice cream over here… Could we all have all the 24 flavours and have them in a scoop or something? It’s interesting to have so many tastes like this…” Ingles spoke as she munched a piece of chicken drumlet.

“In this menu book here shows a mini earthquake, a small, medium, large and devastating earthquake and it comes in a tiny, small, medium and large bowl. Banana split too with 3 flavours of ice cream on a banana, pecan, walnut, cashew, macadamia. Wow… I want to try this too…” said Adam as he pointed out the types of ice cream menus.

“All kinds of spaghetti… But I’m afraid to eat this after I’ve seen the video on YouTube last night where the doctors removed a kind of worm from someone’s tummy that looked like spaghetti. I think I better skip it. And here… Look… All kind of hotdogs and burgers too… Doesn’t it looked like a bun that was halved and then you out the pieces of chicken and meat and some vegetables in between?” said Jane as she made a squirming motion when she saw the spaghetti.

“Hah Hah Hah… You have too much Jane, choose what you wish to order and don’t leave anything behind. We would be heading to the store to see how things are going on right now. We could have takeaways for Uncle Prius and Auntie Becky too.”

I suggested as we both put away the menus and have whatever was served and the kids chatted and we were entertained by their antics and conversations.

Another day had soon passed and we bagged some burgers and fries for Prius and Becky who were unable to join us for supper due to them manning the stores from 7 pm to 9 pm.

Normally on Fridays, the sales would peak up since it was the payday for the working girls and also for the ladies to spend the extra money they had collected from their daily marketing.

We had ice cream as suggested by Kayla since she wanted to try all the 24 flavours and ended up having 24 scoops of icecream. Luckily there were 6 of us and we managed to wallop the whole big bowl of ice cream.

We went to the store and sat at the front while the children took over to man the counter and entertained the customers while Prius and Rebecca ate their suppers at the benches with us.

The restaurant we had gone to was not made by the wisps nor owned by House of Keating. It was, however, owned by House of Sanders. Hah hah hah… A bit fast forward for him to start tackling his menus and customers over in this period, eh?

So far, with the accumulated wealth and since I’m spearheading the household name of House of Keating, I guess its high time for an upgrade and taking in new members or maybe venture out in other business aspects. If one is unable to compete in the rankings of membership and popularity among the Houses, then no one is able to beat its financial status of House of Keating.

No doubt we are raking in millions of credits every month, and even though the children and I do not engage in many battles or party raids, don’t you think I should be involved with other aspects?

“Trish, let’s walk around town and check out House of Pallemon, House of Grundy and House of Light. I have an idea in my head and I was wondering if it could be done or not.” I said as I picked myself up and informed the children to stay put while their Mummy and Daddy rake a short stroll around town.

After been sleeping the whole day… Ahem, I Mean for two months… It would be good for me to take a stroll and let the food goes down to where it is supposed to nestle. Heh… At the same time, I think Patricia would like to grope me since the children are not around with us.

I mean grope my pockets for extra loose credits…
