RDD 115
Our lives are gradually shaped these days. My wife and I became much more intimate. So much that we wanted to keep ourselves together.
As for the kids. Sophia is adorable as always. She loves playing around and spending time with her mother and Charlotte. Charlotte, the little girl neighbor, visited at least twice a week to play with Sophia.
She became Sophia's big sister. Furthermore, she was a good influence on my daughter. Charlotte had music class so she couldn't visit us every day. But whenever she was with us, Sophia became much livelier.
As for Roman... He started reading some books that I got goosebumps thinking about. I didn't know why he was curious about the theory of relativity and how economics works. To make the matter worst, Penelope was teaching him in her spare time.
The business was going well. I had to beg my wife to take care of herself and let us three men work instead. In the end, after a long time of 'convincing' her in bed, my wife reluctantly agreed instead.
She only visited us at least three times a week. To be honest, I didn't know why she kept looking at our female customers. Perhaps she wanted to talk to them but she was shy.
The house was getting better. The ducks and chickens got bigger. They grew up together so they didn't fight. Sophia and Charlotte were happy seeing their cute pets growing up.
Unfortunately, two chickens and one duck died and we had to bury them in the garden. Sophia and Charlotte cried a lot that day. Roman even has to perform his best gameplay just to change their attention and make them forget the sadness.
There was not much to say. Our lives were just getting better.
Santiago and Waylen easily adjusted to the new schedule. At least we could sleep comfortably without waking up very early.
The shop garnered more customers every passing day. The power of the golden-waving cat was terrifying. On top of that, the burger recipe was from the System too. The burger was always sold out and we didn't have a problem closing the shop before 4 pm.
But to be sure, I only ordered 50 kilograms of beef every day. 50 kilograms of beef was enough to make 700 burger patties.
700 burgers were equivalent to 10,500 pesos once sold out. On top of that, we gained profit from selling beverages too. Around 1000 pesos was our profit from selling drinks.
In a way, we got more than 11,000 pesos everyday day.
My everyday expenses for buying ingredients were around 5,000 pesos. Minus the expenses, then the profit was around 6,000 pesos every day.
If someone was going to ask me... 6,000 pesos every day was God damn huge. A huge amount of money, just for a day's worth of work. I guess this was the reason why being a business owner was much better than being a worker.
Without knowing, I heard the system notification. I realized that I accomplished my mission.
"... It's just the third week."
I muttered and wiped my sweat. My forehead was drenched in sweat under the hot weather.
"Did you say something boss?"
Waylen glanced at me after serving the order to one of our customers.
"Nothing." I shook my head.
Of course I didn't want to say that a certain System notified me that I accomplished my mission of earning 100 thousand pesos. That might sound crazy and stupid.
Still... I couldn't believe that I generated 100 thousand pesos! A pure profit!
"I have to talk to my wife later..."
My wife held the bank account for the business. It was because I didn't want to keep it a secret from my wife.
Just like I said. In this country, in this household, women usually hold the money. It was a tradition, and I didn't want to break it. After all, I trust my wife.
We deposit 70% of the money in the bank every week since the business started. We left the remaining cash to settle our expenses.
"I want ten burgers."
"Ah, yes sir."
Because I was a little distracted, I didn't realize that someone wanted to order ten burgers... That was a lot of burgers.
"Sir, you have to wait at least five minutes to receive the order," I added.
"It's fine. I can wait."
Hearing that someone ordered ten burgers, Santiago and Waylen decided to cooperate. The two started grilling the patties and bread.
The two workers gradually became friends after three weeks of interaction. Men can easily become friends. That was the truth.
Having a conversation once, we can already consider each other friends. Men were very simple. Once you said that you like ass over tits, half of the men's population would become your friends... I didn't know the specific statistics but I'm quite sure that men like tits and ass.
Santiago and Waylen even joked around sometimes. While the three weeks of working with Waylen, I could see that he was a good person. However, I realized that he was a hard smoker.
Whenever we had free time, Waylen would sneak out of the shop to hit some cigarettes... To be honest, I almost joined him.
Fortunately for me, my wife was at that time and she glared at me. So I stopped my urge to touch a cigarette.
Apparently, I paid them quite well because Waylen could buy a box of Marlboro white without blinking. Well, I didn't have any right to tell them what they can do with their money. As long as Waylen was working efficiently, I didn't have a problem.
The month of March was just halfway through. Speaking of which, the summer vacation was going to start. Meh, my son already passed kindergarten so it was not a thing I have to think about.
"Summer, huh? I guess I have to keep my promise to Sophia. I have to bring her to sea."
"Boss, did you say something?" Waylen asked me again.
"Nothing," I shook my head, again.
