Skynder spent the next week running his restaurant and creating new recipes. He focused on the more expensive side of things this ti, so that he would have sothing of a higher quality for those on the higher floors.
It was difficult to do so, considering his lack of studying on foods, but after a week, he was able to do so. It was sothing akin to two burritos with queso cheese on them, but with slightly different cooking thods and so spices. The queso cheese was also slightly altered, making it taste like a completely different dish than its basic variety.
He displayed this on the middle and top floors, though he had yet to receive a custor of sufficient status to sit on the top, the next day.
Those on the middle floor, noticing the new item and its slightly higher price than the other dishes, tried it. Each and every one enjoyed its taste.
After a few more days, popularity died down as it was no longer a brand new restaurant. There was nothing that could really be done about this, unless his food was the absolute greatest from the start.
A few days later, the Fatty's father visited. Naturally, he was qualified to sit on the top floor. After all, he was within the top five richest commoners in the Imperial Capital.
When people saw him entering, they were all surprised. Nobody did not know about the Fugui chamber of comrce, which controlled a large portion of the Imperial Capital's total wealth.
They even had so smaller branches in royal capitals.
As he reached the top floor, Skynder ca out from the kitchen and greeted him.
The Fatty's father bowed and took a seat. Skynder sat across from him.
"How has business been?" He asked Skynder.
"It's been going well, though I'm still getting used to everything and expansion is temporarily off the table."
The Fatty's father nodded. "That's usual. Most people take a year or so to get settled in before considering expanding or opening branches."
"Speaking of branches, have you heard about the expansion of Sky city?" Skynder asked.
The Fatty's father nodded. "I've heard a bit. From what I know, it has been going well."
"Have you considered opening up a branch of the Fugui comber of comrce there?"
The Fatty's father shook his head. "I try to only open a chamber of comrce in areas where money flows often. In addition to that, it would be difficult to establish my chamber of comrce as a giant in such a place. I've heard rumors that underground happenings are quite big over there."
Skynder understood his concerns. They were reasonable. After all, Sky city was still much smaller than even a royal city, and there were plenty of non-Imperial and non-royal cities that were better than Sky city. Yet none of them had a Fugui chamber of comrce.
"I won't bother you too much. Just know, if you ever consider it, I can assure you that you will be able to smoothly integrate. We could use you, as your chamber of comrce's presence alone would boost the economy."
The Fatty's father nodded his head. "Thanks for the offer. I will consider it."
Skynder stood up and left, allowing the Fatty's father to enjoy the rest of his al in peace.
As for what would happen in the end, it would be up to the Fatty's father.
A few more days passed, and everything had been going smoothly. A noble gathering would begin soon, where Skynder could make an appearance in an official capacity. Before that, however, he needed to go and et his Aunt Skyless, who he had yet to see.
It was pretty rude of him to not have co by now, and he decided that he might as well while since he had so free ti.
Skynder arrived with lly, and knocked on the door.
Aunt Skyless did not answer the door, but one of Skynder's cousins did.
Previously a small child, she had grown up to be nearly an adult woman. She was surprised to see Skynder. She welcod him in, a complete change of how he was treated back when he first ca to the Imperial Capital.
Back then, he had been new and had not understood a thing about nobility. Now, however, his status was, in so areas, even greater than his Aunt's. In addition, though her house was nicer than his, it was only in the outer area of the noble district.
Since it had been built by a Baron Sky of the past, it could have been in the inner area, but for so reason, it had not been.
After all, for a direct holder of any noble title, it was possible to build wherever in the Imperial Capital they wanted.
This was true even for the lowest level of nobility, known as Barons.
Skynder entered, lly following behind. Soon, Aunt Skyless arrived.
She spoke with a smile. "Welco, Skynder. I was wondering when you would co and say hello."
Skynder gave her a smile back. "Hello, Aunt. Sorry, I had so things to do before coming, but at least I'm here now."
She nodded her head. "I understand. You are no longer a small child, and your decisions are your own. Just make sure you don't forget about your family."
"Of course." Skynder responded.
He stayed for a while, catching up, and Aunt Skyless invited him to stay for dinner.
"I don't know if you've heard, but I recently opened up a restaurant. If you want, we could eat there." Skynder said.
Aunt Skyless was surprised. "I had heard of such a thing, but I was unaware that the noble who had opened it was you. Of course we can eat there. I'm curious to see what kept my nephew away from his aunt for so long."
Skynder, lly, Aunt Skyless, and her three children rode a carriage to his restaurant, instantly drawing the attention of many. Openly, they made their way into the restaurant and onto the top floor.
