Some problems that couldn't be solved before might now be easily resolved with the addition of new races. However, there was still a lack of a race skilled in labor.
"The Minotaur race is quite good. They have robust physiques, hot figures, high endurance, and are extremely resistant to high temperatures and severe cold. They are practically born for farming!"
He thought this to himself as he advanced towards the Dimensional Restaurant, and as he got closer, a rich aroma wafted towards him.
"Curry, huh..."
A look of enjoyment appeared on his face. Such a rich aroma could only mean curry. To cater to so many slaves at once, a large pot meal was indeed the best solution!
As expected of his wife, Eri Nai, she was truly intelligent!
He watched the Neko Hare, who were tasting the curry with happy expressions, and the other races, who were trembling all over and experiencing strange sensations as they tasted such delicious cuisine for the first time.
He even saw a few who had fallen to the ground, their thighs trembling slightly, clearly stimulated by the dish to the point of being unable to stand steadily. He had to admit, Eri Nai's cooking skills had improved significantly.
"Hoshino-kun! Haven't you been lingering outside for too long?! And why are there suddenly so many unfamiliar races? What exactly have you been doing outside?!"
Passing through the crowd and entering the Dimensional Restaurant's kitchen, Hoshino Sora saw Eri Nai cooking with three pots simultaneously. Hearing her complaints, he scratched his head with a hint of embarrassment.
"Sorry, I recruited some new races and got delayed a bit. You go rest for now; I'll handle the rest of the cooking."
"No need. This much effort isn't enough to tire me. I was in continuous competitions for almost ten hours the past two days. This is nothing! Just come over and help me prepare the ingredients."
Seeing Hoshino Sora's cautious expression, Eri Nai couldn't help but sigh. Then, she moved aside, entrusting him with the important task of preparing ingredients.
"Alright!"
Hearing that Eri Nai wasn't blaming him, Hoshino Sora immediately responded excitedly. He quickened his pace to her side, and a Disassembly Knife instantly appeared in his hand. Looking at the ingredients on the cutting board and then at the dish Eri Nai was making, he lowered his head and quickly began to prepare them.
"Sauce..."
"Here."
Before she could finish her sentence, Hoshino Sora handed over the soy sauce. From then on, their cooperation was seamless. Before Eri Nai even opened her mouth, Hoshino Sora always managed to prepare the ingredients and hand them over first.
Seeing this, Eri Nai said no more and devoted all her energy to cooking. Soon, dish after dish emerged. These were the dishes Hoshino Sora had prepared for the management.
Of course, since many races were visiting for the first time, even though there were members of the management among them, Hoshino Sora did not intend to entertain them. This management gathering was primarily for the veterans of the Dimensional Restaurant.
Neko Hare, Neko Ame, and Windsor, and of course, them.
However, as these new races contributed to the Gourmet Manor, the number of attendees at future management gatherings would certainly increase, but that was a matter for the future.
"Cheers!"
Dish after dish was served on the dining table. Windsor, Neko Hare, and Neko Ame also came to the private room of the Dimensional Restaurant at Hoshino Sora's invitation. As for members of other races, after receiving their food, they ate in their newly assigned rooms. A small portion would converse with members of other races outside.
Knowing that the Gourmet Manor would continue to expand, Hoshino Sora had ordered the Forest Elf to build at least ten wooden houses every day, promising them food rewards for exceeding the quota.
Stimulated by the rewards, the Forest Elf worked like mad, building houses desperately, just to eat a meal personally prepared by Hoshino Sora.
Hoshino Sora did not disappoint them. For every extra house built, he would provide them with a meal as a reward, and even began issuing Gourmet Bills within the Gourmet Manor.
One Gourmet Bill could be exchanged for one exquisite meal.
Because there were now more people in the Gourmet Manor, and there would inevitably be even more in the future, it was impossible to serve everyone. Only by putting in enough labor could they receive compensation.
The appearance of Gourmet Bills marked the official entry of the Gourmet Manor into the currency era, though this currency system was still very nascent and would likely take several years to gradually improve.
