Chapter 13: The young cook who founded his production.

307 Year, September 21 Evening

After I finished the lessons with my younger sister, I headed to my room, today I wanted to come up with some simple and easy recipes that I can very easily translate into reality, and which can be prepared tomorrow so that my family appreciates them .

- Hmmm, what can you easily cook at home? - Sitting at the table, I thought for a very long time about dishes that are worth making . - " I already have a yoghurt and cheese, which I made from milk residues - it can be used to prepare breakfast. " - Having written down recipes from cottage cheese, namely ordinary cheesecakes and a cottage cheese casserole on a piece of paper, I also figured out what can be made from cheese, and without thinking up anything, I decided to just serve it with tea.

- Then lunch ... Potatoes with meat and potato pancakes? - Remembering the dishes that I usually ate in my life, namely potato dishes, I immediately started thinking about my wife, who, despite the fact that we had a lot of kitchen utensils, did everything manually . - Haa, wondering how she was? - Thinking about her for a second, I immediately threw these thoughts aside and began to think about what can be done.

- Let's say there will be nothing new for lunch, well, except for potato pancakes with some kind of additive, or with the same soup, but what can be done for dinner? Spaghetti or Macaroni with tomato sauce, as an option, you can also make pizza and it will be nice to make curry. - Having finished thinking about the menu for tomorrow, I immediately wrote down all the recipes on paper and bathed in the bathroom, immediately fell asleep, in anticipation of tomorrow.

307 Year, 22 September Early Morning

Today, I asked Aina to wake me up as early as possible, so that already in the morning, I could go to the kitchen and prepare my dishes, which would be new to this world. Getting up and getting dressed, I grabbed a sheet of painted recipes and went down to the first floor and headed to the kitchen.

Robert, the chief cook of our estate, met me in the kitchen , I decided to immediately turn to him and talk about this topic. Together with him, I think it will be very easy to create all the dishes that I painted yesterday on a piece of paper.

- Good day Young Master, did you want something? - asked Robert, who noticed how I entered the kitchen.

- Yes, Robert , today I want to slightly change our menu! And you will help me with this! - Having said this, I motioned for a closer call, and having opened the recipes for breakfast in front of him, I handed him the cottage cheese and cheese.

After reading my recipes, he called two of his assistants and set about doing everything exactly according to the recipe. First, he started making cheesecakes, taking about three hundred grams of cottage cheese, he poured it into a small bowl, first added a little oil to it, then added one egg and three large tablespoons of fresh flour to the cottage cheese, after which he began to mix it, gradually adding a little Sahara. As soon as a homogeneous mass came out, under my strict guidance, he quickly fried everything to a golden crust and I, having sacrificed a bit of my strawberry jam, shared with him to try our first cottage cheese dish .

- Tasty, but with sugar and flour you went a little too far, too dry ... - Having made a remark to him, I once again tried a simple cheesecake, without jam, and added. - Without jam it is very dry, without water or tea, it will be impossible to eat, you need to fix it. - Having finished speaking, I looked at Robert, who, having eaten his portion of two cheesecakes, began to give his mark.

- I agree, young master, they came out rather dry, but by the beginning of breakfast, I will redo everything and bring the best cheesecakes to the table! - Looking into my eyes, he blurted out, almost in the same breath. "However, what kind of cottage cheese is this?" Where did you get it? - Looking at the remains of cottage cheese, which were lying on the countertop, he asked.

- The secret of the company, I plan to do mass production later , so you will find out about this a little later . - Having answered, I ate my portion and looked at it, added. - A little later you will help me with this, for it will be difficult for me to find good cooks. - Having said this, I began to cook potato pancakes with him, for he would be able to cook potatoes with stewed meat himself.

After peeling and grating the potatoes, we mixed it with onions and adding a whisper of spices we set about frying them . Frying them to a golden crust on both sides, he removed pancakes from a small frying pan, which I made specially for them and putting them on a plate, we also tried them, like with cheesecakes.

- You salted them ... - Having tried the first potato pancake, I said, after which I opened the inventory, I took out a prototype of sour cream, which I have been making for about a month, and putting the container with it on the table, dipped the potato pancake into it. - Now, now it's perfect! - Having tried a potato pancake with sour cream, I said, moving the container with sour cream to Robert.

Having tried at first an ordinary potato pancake, he agreed with my words and dipped the second in sour cream, and tried the second. "Young master ... Where do you get all this from?" This is the first time I'm trying this! - He said, after he ate potato pancakes.

- Then I'll tell you, but now we need to prepare breakfast, I also wanted to give my family to try simple cottage cheese with fruits , pieces of cheese and tea. - Pulling the empty plate away from me, I took out about another half a kilogram of cottage cheese with cheese , and handing them to Robert, ordered him to do everything right.

Having solved the problem with breakfast and partly with lunch, I left the kitchen and headed to our dining room. Roxy and Emily were already sitting here, two sweet-tooths who always ask me for the sweets I came up with almost a year ago. As soon as I entered the hall, they looked at me with an imploring look, I looked at them with a grin and went up to them and spoke.

- Want some candy? - Having asked this, I sat down at a small table, at which we usually drank tea.

- Yes!!! They shouted in unison.

- After breakfast, I will probably give it, but now something else is waiting for you, I just was in the kitchen, and Robert and I came up with a new menu, I hope you enjoy it. - Having finished, I took a sip of tea, which one of the maidservants poured to me.

- Truth?! They asked in one voice, looking at me with eyes full of hope.

- True, breakfast will be very tasty and sweet, so don't get too full, or everything will not fit ! - Jokingly, I finished my tea, and at that time our parents came into the hall , who looked at us and invited us to the dinner table.

- Today there will be something new! - Sitting at the table, I announced to my family. - This dish I created a sutra with Robert, it is very nutritious and sweet! "When I finished speaking, I asked the maids to bring our breakfast, and as soon as they heard me , they immediately went to the kitchen, and when they returned, they set in front of us a plate with cheesecakes with strawberry jam, a saucer with a small amount of cottage cheese and various fruits, a plate with three pieces of cheese and black tea.

Having examined all, I immediately told them the name of the dishes. - Now you have three plates in front of you, on the largest there are cottage cheese pancakes made from cottage cheese and served as a side dish with strawberry jam, on a saucer, there is cottage cheese with fruits, it is sugar free, so if you want to sweeten it a little, then you are welcome I ask that on the last and smallest there are three pieces of cheese, it is better to eat it with tea . - Having finished speaking, I set an example of exactly how to eat cottage cheese pancakes with jam.

Taking the fork in my right hand, I broke the cheesecake in half and took one half dipped it in the jam, then put it in my mouth and worried , washed it with a small amount of tea.

- You tried Robert, but they are still a bit dry ... - Having tried them, I realized that the time that he had was not enough for him to completely get rid of the main problem of this dish . - The next time he just happen. - Nodding to my conclusions, I looked around my family, my sisters already chewed cheesecakes on both cheeks, and my mother decided to start with cottage cheese, and as soon as she tried it ...

- Mmm, how delicious! - She declared, and quickly emptying a plate with cottage cheese, she asked the servant to bring more, but they could only shake their heads and apologize to say.

- Madam to ... - She did not have time to finish, because I interrupted her .

- Mom, they don't have him anymore . - Having said that, I pushed my plate to her and added. That's all I managed to do this morning.

"Although I lied, I had no choice, because according to my plan, I need to beg a decent amount from my father and mother so that I could open a full-scale production of dairy products. " - Following the reaction of my mother, who had already managed to empty my plate, she asked me the question I needed .

- Why? Is it hard to do? She asked, tasting the cheesecake, which she also liked.

- No, but it takes a lot of milk to produce, and about a week's time ... - After a short pause, I followed her reaction and decidedly added. - Cottage cheese, which was spent so that we could have breakfast, was made a week and about ten liters of milk were spent on its production. - I had to lie a little at the expense of milk, even I could not calculate the exact amount, because each time it comes out differently, so I decided to raise the bar a little.

- Ten liters for one breakfast ?? She asked with round eyes. "That's a lot for such a modest breakfast."

- No, mom, you don't understand ... - I shook my head. - This is only because I just came up with this recipe, if I refine it, then it will be possible to reduce the cost of milk for the manufacture of one kilogram. I believe that if we invest in this matter, it will be possible to create one kilogram of cottage cheese from five liters of milk. - Having expressed my idea, I followed the reaction of my father, who had already finished his portion and set to work on the cheese.

- Son, how much money do you need? - Doev his portion of the district took a sip of tea, and looked at me , asked his question .

Also, like him, I finished eating, and after drinking my tea, I began to speak.

- Do not know yet, but according to my conservative estimate, about three gold white gold on the building itself, and on the Equi ... - Do not letting me finish, he motioned for me to stop and began to speak himself .

- We will discuss this after breakfast in my office, the dining room is not suitable for this. - Getting up from the table, he left the hall and went to his office.

Following his example, I finished my tea and went to his office.

Sitting in my father's office, I began to examine his furniture while my father dealt with important messages from the city.

" Not bad... " - Thought about how it was arranged. A large number of bookshelves, on which there was a ton of literature, a fireplace, which on rare cold winter days, warmed up the room to acceptable temperatures, a black sword, which was cheerful above the fireplace, a sofa and several chairs for talking with a large number of people, which might be the last , but no less important is the table itself, at which my father sat.

Having finished reading the last letter, he wrote something on a piece of paper and looked at me and spoke.

- Now you can calmly discuss everything. - Looking into my eyes, he pulled out his notebook and began to listen to me carefully.

- Regarding the production of dairy products ... - Taking out a piece of paper from the pocket of my pants, or rather from my inventory, I began to read out what I had prepared the day before. - I need a plot of about half a hectare for the construction of the enterprise itself, as well as the placement on its territory of a place for administration and a retail outlet. - Having finished reading out the basic information, I handed my father a sheet of paper so that he would familiarize himself with all the details.

Quickly examining my modest calculations, which might have been decently understated, he took a pen and dipped it in ink, and began to correct some of my notes. Ten minutes of silence were successful, as soon as my father put down the pen to the side, he looked at me, and handed me a sheet with the changed calculations, he spoke.

- Today we'll go to the city administration, I personally will order you to allocate a place in the production area, and immediately went to the best carpenters and masons of the city, so that they would immediately begin planning the building according to your wishes . - Having finished speaking, he looked at me, waiting for him to finish reading about his amendments.

- Good. - I nodded and handing the paper back to my father, we changed clothes and went to the city administration.

308 Year May 15 , Day

"Here it is ready ..." my father said, inspecting the production that had been built in eight months. - Carpenters and masons have tried to fame when they built it ... They did everything you wanted. - He added, going into the office, which in theory should be the office of the Boss. - The building is ready, the equipment is located , so now, you can safely hire workers.

- I AM? - Surprised by his last phrase, I asked a question. - Why me?

- How why? You came up with this , and I just sponsored the construction, now all of this belongs to you. - Arms outstretched, he said. - In this building you are in charge! - Confidently he added. - Thanks to this, you will gain live experience in managing production and people, so in the future, it will be easier for you to inherit this whole city! - Having finished speaking, he came up to me and patted me on the shoulder, quietly telling l . - If you need advice, then you can always turn to me.

After the building was ready, I immediately turned to Robert and quickly hired about fifty workers to the workshop itself, and about ten accountants, traders, and I also did not forget about my personal assistant secretary, who was Robert's son, Henry Jauren .

3010 Year, August 1 , Day

- Young master, we are receiving more and more orders for our products from all over the Empire. - My personal secretary said, who finished familiarizing himself with all the reports.

- I understand, but we just do not have time to produce so much cottage cheese and cheese to satisfy demand ... It seems the time has come ... - Having said that, I got a plan to improve the building, namely to build two more production lines, which in the long run, were able to -to satisfy all demand , as well as bring me even more gold. - Today, I'll turn to the builders. - Having added this, I got up from the table and headed to the city center.
