With his soft, fragrant wife in his arms, and the faint scent of herbs and trees filling his nostrils, Agares pulled the covers tighter around him, gently kissed Jiang Si's forehead, and dared not utter a sound for fear of disturbing her. In his heart, he silently said, "Goodnight, Jiang Jiang!"

It was past 3 a.m. and the night was very quiet. Before long, Agares closed his eyes and fell asleep. The moment he entered a deep sleep with even breathing, Jiang Si opened her eyes and looked at the jaw of the sleeping Agares.

Agares, that little devil, hasn't changed his cunning methods. He manually adjusted the room temperature, thinking she didn't know. If she really didn't know anything, she would probably be dead long ago, and wouldn't have lived to meet him during their interstellar journey.

However, what the old man Shu Xubai said is right. She is a child. She is thousands of years older than him. Why should she argue with him? He can't live forever, nor can he live forever. She can only accompany him for three to five hundred years.

It's only been less than three years since we met. People need time to adjust to each other. During this process, problems will always arise. Solving problems, forgiving problems, and reaching one's own expectations are all important. It's worth giving him a chance and seeing how he performs.

If she performs well, he's happy, she's happy, everyone's happy. If she performs poorly, she can just be kicked out. Anyway, she has the means and the ability, so she doesn't need to be afraid of anyone.

People like her should live for the moment, just like Shu Xubai said. When kids misbehave, a beating is fine, but a couple of beatings will do. Why dawdle so much?

Jiang Si decided to give him a chance, which is why she went to bed with him tonight, manually adjusted the temperature, and rolled into his arms. Otherwise, she would have kicked him out long ago.

Jiang Si smiled silently, snuggled into Agares's arms, supported herself on his chest with one hand and placed the other on his waist, then closed her eyes again.

Just as Jiang Si nudged herself slightly and closed her eyes to truly fall asleep, Agares woke up, his eyes as clear as hers. He looked down at her for a moment, tightened his arms, pressed the blanket down, and gently rested his chin on the top of her head before falling asleep.

At 7:30 a.m. sharp, Jiang Si appeared in the kitchen, followed by Agares.

Breakfast was cooked by Agares himself: shredded pork noodles with poached eggs!

Only ginger shreds are available; everyone else can only watch. When hungry, they eat the pastries they make themselves. After finishing their own pastries, they have to eat other people's pastries, give feedback to others, and also give feedback to themselves.

After breakfast, Jiang Si continued to teach them how to make the pastries they hadn't finished. After teaching them how to make pastries, she taught them how to make 15 different kinds of cakes and breads.

Over three days, Jiang Si taught them 45 types of pastries, cakes, and breads. The 15 people slept less than 8 hours a day for three days, yet they were all energetic and full of vitality.

It's impossible for 15 people to master all 45 kinds of pastries, cakes, and breads, but they each have their own strengths and specialties.

Agares brought out everything they were good at and had them train intensively for two days until they could do about 70-80% of what Jiang Si did, before dividing up the tasks.

On the 8th day, in the Abel Galaxy, the first super traditional pastry shop, the first cake and bread shop, opened on the capital star of the Troia Empire.

The two shops, a traditional pastry shop and a bakery, are located together in the busiest downtown area of ​​the capital city, covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters.

This traditional pastry shop offers 15 kinds of traditional pastries and a variety of teas. The current selection of cakes and breads offered by the shop is 15 types each.

Both shops have their own merits. Not only can you take away, but you can also dine in. They offer a variety of teas, including milk tea, black tea, and fruit tea. A meal costs around 300 Star Coins on average.

Spending around 300 Star Coins in the bustling downtown area and financial center of Troya's capital planet is considered low. Otherwise, you could easily spend 500 to 1000 Star Coins at any other food or drink establishment.

As the saying goes, those who work in the economy are all rich, and those who sit in offices are not poor. Therefore, for these people, spending around 300 star coins on a meal is simply a windfall.

To boost consumption and provide more people with snacks, Jiang Si added cookies, egg rolls, and various other types of egg rolls to the bakery.

To prevent overcrowding, an appointment system was implemented on the first day of opening. Jiang Si personally advertised and opened the appointment system, with 300 customers booked for both stores.

A deposit of 10 Star Coins was required, and you could pay for whatever you ate. 300 reservations were made and sold out instantly. People went to eat, tried the food, took photos, posted reviews, and spread the word.

On the second day, the two stores received 600 reservations, on the third day they received 800 reservations, and on the fifth day they received 1,000 reservations.

The 15 pastry chefs became increasingly skilled and took on apprentices, letting them handle the simpler and easier tasks while they worked on the more complex and challenging ones.

Everything is baked and made by hand. Whether it's a bakery or a pastry shop, whether it's a pastry chef or a baker/waitress, everyone is extremely busy and barely has time to rest.

After more than half a month, the 15 pastry chefs trained many apprentices, and the pastry and cake shops began to operate in an orderly manner, producing a large number of products every day.

Xia Pu had a keen sense of smell. Seeing the booming business of cake shops and pastry shops, he began to think about opening a bread factory to produce semi-finished bread products.

Once the semi-finished products are made, they can be sent directly to the bakery, baked, and then plated and sold. With proper ingredient matching, the taste is exactly the same as that of handmade products.

We can also sell semi-finished products so customers can buy them and bake them at home, which will save money and expand our business.

Especially the various kinds of egg rolls. These require almost no skill. Just mix the egg liquid and flour, put them on the machine, and roll them out.

Xia Pu is quick to act and execute. Factory buildings, premises, business licenses, and other miscellaneous things were all taken care of by specialized personnel and were all settled within 10 days.

After that was done, they recruited people, all ordinary people without superpowers, and asked them to make the simplest egg rolls. Because the food industry was just emerging and the demand was high, two large workshops were enough to keep the workshop running just by making egg rolls.

Jiang Si followed Xia Pu on a tour of the factory and gave him a thumbs up: "Xia Pu, you're really smart. You even managed to come up with this. You're amazing!"

Xia Pu showed none of the domineering attitude he displayed towards his employees or other bosses when facing Jiang Si. He was respectful, admiring, and humble towards her: "It's not that I'm amazing, it's that Your Highness is amazing. I simply brought out the full potential of what Your Highness knows..."

“No, no, no, don’t be modest, you’re really amazing.” Jiang Si interrupted him: “I never thought about processing plants before, I was only thinking about chain stores. I didn’t expect you to come up with the idea of ​​processing plants as well.”

"Now that I think about it, everything I made could be mass-produced by hand. Plus, the food storage containers in the Abel Galaxy can preserve the deliciousness of the food itself. With hundreds of billions of human, beast, mermaid, and insect customers throughout the Abel Galaxy, opening a processing plant for mass production is the best choice!"
