Chapter 10: Sasha Company
Chapter 10: Sasha Company
After taking a bath, Edgar went to his study room. He sat down on his seat and closed his eyes. His muscles still ache. He feels happy for his growing strength, even if the process is painful. He is willing to endure the pain of getting stronger rather than the pain of losing important people to him.
Edgar opened his eyes. He put his right hand in front of him. He cast fire magic. An orange magic circle appeared on his palm. A fire floats on his palm. He was not able to form rune skills in his sea of consciousness, but he can still cast magic. Edgar smiles while staring at the fire on his palm. It is a magical ability that he has been seeking for a long time.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Your highness, it is time for dinner." Elena's voice came from the door. Edgar did not even notice that it is already time for dinner. The room is starting to become dim. Edgar went out of the study room. The lamps are already lit. It is really inconvenient without a clock, so he will order craftsmen to build them later. The clock will be a reference in making watches. Watches will be a hot commodity for wealthy people around the world.
"How is the work of a craftsman? Did you give the blueprint of an iron pot to the blacksmith?" Edgar asked Elena while they are walking to the dining room.
"Your highness, they were able to easily make the blueprints that you gave them." Elena also saw what they made, but she doesn't have an idea how the prince will use them.
"Tell them to bring what they made in the morning.Tomorrow, bring franbeans from the warehouse and the materials for grounding and steaming. You also prepare fresh pork, chicken, and fish in the kitchen because I will cook them tomorrow," ordered Edgar. Elena seems surprised by the order. Edgar smiles. He will give her a lot more surprises tomorrow. They arrived in the dining room.
"You don't have to remain standing here. I know that you also work hard today. You can eat now and then start resting." Edgar saw the hard work of the little maid earlier, and he is concerned that she might be pushing herself too much. He is happy, though, because Elena is really a capable secretary.
"No, your highness, you might have a sudden order, so I must remain by your side." Elena smiles because the prince appreciates her work today.
"I'll let someone call you if I need you," Edgar sincerely told the maid.
"Then, thank your highness." Elena bowed and retreated.
After eating, he returns to his study room and makes plans for the business that he will establish tomorrow. He will create a business empire in the world of Aurora, and he will name it Sasha Company. Sasha is his little sister on Earth. Edgar is afraid that he might lose himself because of the sudden gain of power and wealth. The name of the company will remind him of his real self and family.
When the two suns rise, Albert is already in the yard, waiting for the prince. He is really eager to witness the miracle of producing oil from franbeans. Edgar was eating breakfast when he was told that they are already waiting in the yard with the materials for oil production. He did not finish eating and went to the yard with Elena and his guards.
"Secure the area. Don't let anyone come closer than 20 meters," Edgar ordered the guards. The people who are present there are Albert, Elena, and the craftsman.
"I will tell you the process of producing oil. First, grind the franbeans. Second, heat the grounded franbeans through steam in a short time. Extract the oil from the heated franbeans using the oil press, then transfer the oil to the clay pot and use it for cooking later," said Edgar. He smiles at the shock expression of everyone, then he demonstrates the oil production.
Edgar looks at the shock expression that remained on their faces from beginning to end and says,"You have seen how simple the materials and processes are in producing oil. They can be easily copied, so we must strictly guard the production of materials and oil."
Edgar looks at Albert and said,"Albert, find a place as a production center for oil. Oil presses and oil will be produced there. Turn that place into town, bring the family of workers there. Build markets and give free education to children of workers. Hire 1st circle water and earth magicians for efficiency in moving oil from oil press and lifting clay pots.
Let us change the name of franbeans into soybeans. I don't want the Fran kingdom to benefit from the popularity of our merchandise. Start planting soybeans near the town. Contract farmers to plant soybeans, offer a price higher than their income in planting wheat grain. Iron pot does not need to be kept secret because it isn't needed in oil production." Edgar pauses for a while. He remembers that they did not eat breakfast. It should be time for frying food to appear in the world.
Edgar stares at everyone and said,
"Follow me. it is time for you to witness the revolution of cooking!"
