[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Looking at the three single mothers in the store, Chao Ke was tempted.

After several months of training, their cooking skills have improved to the point where they can work independently.

Currently, central kitchens actually have a serious overcapacity.

The current situation is that we have talent, production capacity, and most importantly, ample funds.

It would be a real shame not to expand [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].

But the problem is where to locate this second [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].

Given Chao Ke's current circumstances, he can choose either option, and both options will be useful, but he can only choose one.

If the branch is to be built in the Grey River District.

Its biggest advantage is its proximity to a high-quality labor market, allowing for the establishment of a talent pool for [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] at a lower cost, which will greatly benefit future expansion.

If it is built in the city of Fontaine.

Based on the success of the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] flagship store, this branch can gain popularity without much marketing and can also divert some customers from the flagship store, reducing the operating pressure on the flagship store.

Similarly, there are advantages to establishing branches in places like Opizk Clerc Opera, Baisong Town, and Harbour Harbour.

Perhaps, by negotiating with that "Duke," we could even open a branch in Melo Petersburg.

Where should we open it...?

Chapter 105 Hey hey hey, Carles, old man, I'm back in Fontainebleau!

After much deliberation, Chao Ke decided to open the first branch in the Grey River district of Fontainebleau.

Although this move might irritate the authorities in Fontainebleau, the excellent labor market in the Grey River district is indeed attractive to Chao Ke.

【Jia Zi Wei Restaurant】still has too few talents, and Chao Ke does not plan to take the route of authorized franchise stores before it reaches a certain scale.

Therefore, finding a high-quality and stable workforce within Fontainebleau is essential, and the sooner it is accomplished, the better.

Now that the location has been chosen, it's time to address the obstacles to this trip.

Although [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] keeps implying to its customers that it is an underground force of the Fontaine authorities, this only fools ordinary Fontaines.

In the eyes of the Fontainebleau authorities, the "Flavour Restaurant" is a symbol of the power of the Boufati Mansion.

Whether the restaurant is run by the Fools or Arecino, they are both targets that must be dealt with.

Allowing this force to enter the already turbulent Grey River is tantamount to dancing on the sensitive nerves of those in power.

[The most unstable area under its jurisdiction] + [Foreign forces with special purposes]

Which manager would want to see this combination?

Therefore, opening a branch in the Grey River District cannot be done by force; a clever approach must be devised.

Ideally, it could be like the flagship store of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant], finding a way to create an official backing, or...

They actually went to create a background of official power.

Considering that many residents of the Grey River District have served time in prison, it's best if this official force isn't too overt, otherwise it could backfire and even provoke resistance.

So...

The answer is already obvious.

These conditions combined essentially amount to reporting the ID number of the Rose Association.

As the well-known official Grey Glove in Fontainebleau, he also enjoys considerable prestige among the people due to his work on the construction of waterways.

Most importantly, the Rose Society has been operating in the Grey River District for many years, with a deep-rooted foundation and even a well-equipped branch.

They are simply a perfect partner.

Furthermore, Carles had previously attempted to sabotage himself through Arecino...

A wicked smile curled at the corners of Chao Ke's mouth.

Hi! Hi! Hi!

Carles, keep an eye on your daughter, I'm heading back to Fontaine.

------------

The main hall of the Rose Society in Baisong Town.

On stage, Carles was furious because of Navia's antics and misbehavior the day before.

Below the stage, Miles and Silver led the way, and many members of the Rose Society spontaneously stood in two rows, silently protecting Navia behind them.

Kares was quite helpless after seeing this.

They had lost the will to continue the conversation.

To criticize in this situation would only make one appear harsh.

"Sigh, you guys just spoil her."

Perhaps because of Clementine, the brothers in the Rose Society took great care of Navia.

No matter where this girl goes and causes trouble, they spoil her.

Even if this girl occasionally does something wrong, someone will clean up her mess.

This incident is no exception.

In fact, Carles could understand his subordinates.

After all, although her daughter was somewhat willful, she had the same kind personality as her mother, Clementine.

He was spoiled by the members of the association and never did anything bad, like bullying the weak.

The subordinates in the meeting were actually respecting Clementine's expectations for her daughter, hoping that Navia could grow up happily.

There's nothing wrong with that.

If Carles is healthy, he might just let them have their way.

Unfortunately, Carres knew all too well what his physical condition was like.

His strictness towards Navia stemmed partly from his personality, and partly from...

He wouldn't live to see the day when Navia was fully grown.

Kares only wanted to pass on his experience to Navia as soon as possible so that she could suffer less after taking over the Rose Society.

"Ugh..."

------------

The next day.

The warm sunshine shone into Baisong Town.

Chao Ke, who had been on his journey since early morning, finally arrived at this moment.

Objectively speaking, the journey from Fontainebleau to Baisong Town is not easy.

The patrol boats built under the leadership of the Rose Society did not have a road leading to their own headquarters, due to certain considerations.

This means that to get to Baisong Town, one must choose the traditional route.

First, you take a small boat to Qiufen Mountain, and then walk a long dirt road.

The soil near Baisong Town is extremely slippery, and after walking around, your shoes, boots, and socks will inevitably be covered in mud.

Standing at the entrance of Baisong Town, Chao Ke used his water elemental authority to tidy himself up a bit.

Since we're here to discuss business, we should pay attention to our appearance.

After tidying up his appearance, Chao Ke strode into Baisong Town.

This place, as the headquarters of the Rose Thorn Society, is a tightly controlled entity managed by Carles.

Not to mention the many members of the Rose Thorn Society wearing their uniforms on the street, even the children on the roadside and the old ladies in the corners are the Rose Thorn Society's eyes and ears.

With his foreign-looking face, Chao Ke immediately attracted people's attention.

Not long after, Myles pushed open the door to the office of the owner of the Rose Society.

"It's Myles. What's making you look so flustered?"

Carles put down the financial report in his hand and smiled as he spoke to Miles.

"Boss, Chao Ke has arrived in Baisong Town."

Kares's smile vanished instantly. Damn it, he'd laughed too soon.

"What is he, a member of the Fools, doing in our Baisong Town?"

"The cause is still unclear, and the brothers in the church are still investigating."

"have to."

Carles put away the financial report, curled his lip, and said, "They're probably after me. Lead the way."

...

Baisong Town, [Café Luze].

Yes, it is the coffee shop run by Arué, and it is located in Baisong Town.

Chao Ke looked at the coffee shop in a surprise, now in a different location, and the owner, Arué, obviously recognized Chao Ke and came over to greet him.

"Hey friend, how have you been?"

"Your restaurant is quite famous. I should have gritted my teeth and competed with you again."

Arue joked with a smile and handed Chao Ke a cup of coffee.

Chao Ke took the coffee, took a sip, and found it to be bitter yet mellow.

Judging from Alue's radiant appearance, his coffee shop must be doing quite well in Baisong Town.

"If you want to take over my territory, raising rents alone won't work."

"Oh? Is there anything else you need?"

Arué asked curiously.
