Volume 7 Chapter 35: Are You Thinking About Adding New Items To The Bakery?

The construction of the island began. It would take a lot of work and time to deal with it. The first thing they needed to do was to clear out the mansion. However, they also needed to clear out the branches and trees there as well. They were dead trees. Without any care and water, the trees were withered away.

"Guys, I will leave it to you." Keith's words were directed at Herrick and Melor. The two were on demolition duty.

"On it!" "Leave it to us!" Herrick and Melor grinned.

"..." Keith reminded, "I just want to clarify, don't cause huge potholes on the island. Leave it flat and clean." He had a feeling those two would cause gigantic holes by smashing their weapons down.

"We'll do fine." Herrick waved his hand.

"Yeah," Keith turned to Gabriel, "Please watch over the two of them."

"Don't worry, I will." Gabriel had an inkling they would do something strange.

Leaving it to Gabriel, he headed out. The place he was going to was the bakery. When he entered, he saw a bunch of humans, beastmen, dwarves, elves, and demon-kin.

A smile appeared on Keith's face as he gazed. This was what he wanted. One of the clerks spotted Keith, "Hello, Boss."

Keith nodded, "I'm going to meet with Patrick."

The clerks nodded as they returned to their work.

"Welcome, Boss." Patrick bowed.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Mmmhmm. I want to see the reports for today."

Patrick nodded, "Here is the report for this month." This is good. Keith nodded at it; the revenue was a little smaller than normal. However, this was more than enough. The revenue didn't lower by so much from the previous month.

"This is fine. Just keep going with what you have."

Patrick bowed, "Thank you for the praise, Boss. Also, there's something I wanted to ask."

"Hmm?"

"Are you planning to add another type of bread for the bakery?"

"Ahh,"

"I was thinking some customers are eager to try something new." It had been quite some time since the boss added a new item to the menu.

"Alright. I need to think about it." Keith got up from his seat as a new fire was lit in his mind. Things were going to get interesting when he returned home.

"I don't like the look on his face." Scarlet nudged Alfia. When he returned home, his smile was crooked and his eyes were arched. That caused her to rest her head on her hand, "When he's like that, he's in the zone." That was something everyone could tell. He was prepared.

"Hmm, guys can you come to the living room for the moment?"

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Everyone entered the living room.

"I'm thinking of baking some new bread for my bakery."

"Really?!" That was the reason why he was so focused.

"Mmhmm. Going to add some to the bakery. That's why I asked you guys here."

"Hmm?"

"I wanted to ask if any ingredients are commonly used in each kingdom?" Keith was interested. It was time to make something interesting with it.

"Eh?"

"Like local vegetables, meats, and spices. There had been a lot of different races going there, so I thought about creating something they can relate to." Most of the ingredients he used were basic. He wanted to use ingredients that other kingdoms used.

"Hmm, I guess vegetables are mostly used. Especially so with green garlic." Alfia thought about it.

"Green garlic?" This was something new.

"It's an ingredient that's used mostly in elven cooking. You could eat it raw, but it's not that good."

"Mmhmm. I will have to try it." Garlic, huh?

"Meat!" Herrick and Melor muttered.

"I see." Expected. Keith turned to Scarlet, "What about you, Scarlet?"

"The seasoning Fira obtained is a staple in the demon kingdom." When they returned home from the dungeon, Fira and the spirits collected some things. Cinnamon. Cinnamon was a common spice in the demon kingdom.

"Understood."

"And you shouldn't make it like normal," Faelyn interjected.

"I know. You guys want some sweet options, right?" Keith grinned.

"..." The elf didn't say anything as she looked away. That was a yes.

"I got an idea what to make." An idea came to his mind: perfect for a bakery.

"Oh, what is it?!" Sarah blinked, quite excited about this.

"Secret."

"Tch!" The others sucked their teeth.
