Chapter 11: Sasha Company(2)

Chapter 11: Sasha Company(2)

The materials that were used before are already kept by Edgar's guards. They are cautious about keeping oil production a secret. Everyone is excited to follow Edgar to the kitchen. A clay pot is floating behind them. It is being lifted by the earth magic of a guard. Albert is very excited. He is looking at the pot as if it is filled with gold. He believes that everything the prince said is true! He can already see that gold will rain in the kingdom because of cooking oil. The kingdom's treasury will be filled, and many problems will be solved.

Everyone arrived in the kitchen. Edgar ordered the guard to place the clay pot near the stove. At the center of the stove is a hole. Fire stones are placed in the center of the stove. They are mined near volcanoes. They will become hot when they make contact with fire and retain heat for a period of time. More firestones will result in higher heat. Fire stones are used for cooking and smithing.

Edgar prepares the food. He put salt on fish, pork, and chicken. He ordered the cook to cut vegetables and pork into small pieces. He prepared three stoves and cast fire magic. He put three iron pots on stoves and waited for them to heat. He explained to them that an iron pot is used for frying. He put oil in the iron pot and waited for it to boil. He explains to them that the amount of oil is based on what kind of food they are going to fry. He started frying fish, pork, chicken legs, and wings. The aroma in the air smells good. The sound of hungry stomachs is heard by Edgar. Everyone does not feel embarrassed, except Elena. Her face and ears turned red from embarrassment, which made Edgar laugh.

Edgar served the food after frying. Steaming golden fried fish, chicken, and pork are put in front of everyone. The fried vegetables with pork smell good.They look so delicious, which further stimulates their hunger.

"Come everyone and try the first fried food in the world."

Everyone immediately grabs food from the table, afraid that nothing will be left for them if they wait longer. Everyone enjoys the food. The taste is new, and it is delicious. Above all, they are the first to try fried food in Aurora World.

"How is it?" asked Edgar. He also tried it. For him, it is more delicious than fried foods on Earth. Livestock here are not fed with chemicals, and they are exposed to the rich life energy in the world.

"Ywour hwighness! Its hwelicious!" Albert's words are incomprehensible. His mouth is still stuffed with food while holding chicken legs. Everyone said that the food is delicious. Edgar let them finish eating and went to the study room with Elena and Albert.

"Your highness, cooking oil is definitely a big business!" Albert did not expect that oil could cook delicious food. Oil is made from cheap beans, so the profit will be very huge.

"Buy soybeans in the whole kingdom. Sell oil to big business owners. Demonstrate how to use cooking oil. Ask the blacksmith to teach smithing iron pot to smithing owners. We will sell oil in bulk called wholesale. In each city or region, you should choose only one business owner to avoid competition. Once they are sold, buy more soybeans and food in neighboring kingdoms. Fill the treasury and spend money where it is needed, like replacing worn-out weapons of the army," said Edgar to Albert.

"Yes, your highness!" Albert received so many surprises from Edgar. The prince suddenly became so wise. He thinks that the prince pretended to be stupid and lazy to avoid the attention of the enemy.

"Elena, make a contract with pottery makers to order large clay pots for oil. Loan them money with zero interest if necessary to expand their production. We do not need to own every material in the production of oil. Let the people of the kingdom ride together with our business empire and enrich themselves. The larger our business, more of our people will be hired. Business will bloom everywhere when many people have more income. Business tax will surpass agricultural tax in the future." Edward is looking forward to the economic effect of his business.

"The business will be called Sasha Company. Later, we will mark each item sold by our business. The mark is a little girl in a cook uniform. Little girl Sasha is just a product of my imagination. I chose it as our mark because it feels closer to home. The mark will differentiate us from the same line of business in the future. It is called branding." Edgar explains branding to Albert and Elena.

"Look for people that are capable of managing a business. I will talk with them and choose the right manager. Do a background check to make sure that they can be trusted." Edgar knows the importance of management in business.

Elena has just realized that the prince is very wise. She even hears terms from the prince that she did not know before. Edgar suddenly became so tall in the eyes of Elena. He became so dependable, which made Elena's heart flutter.

Elena asks questions about what she did not understand, and Edgar patiently explains. Edgar appreciates Elena's attentiveness to details.

"Albert, did you find the person that I told you about yesterday?" asked Edgar.

"He will arrive tomorrow, your highness," answered Albert. He is looking forward to another surprise that Edward might give him tomorrow.

Edward looked at Elena and said, "Elena, call the captain of the royal guard here."

"Yes, your highness." Elena immediately went out.

Albert thinks that the prince is making a move that requires royal guards, and he needs to cooperate. Albert feels nervous but still believes in the prince. He believes that the prince is not reckless, based on the wisdom that he has shown him since yesterday.

Albert asked, "Your highness, why do you need a captain of the royal guard?" nove)lb.1n

Edgar's face looks serious, then he answered Albert's question.

"Time to kill the pest that terrorizes the kingdom. I will sweep the bandits!"
