A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Konoha, what kind of pepper is that?

Alice asks.

"What do you mean... hmm... I think it's a bit spicy when the nuts are dried.

Rubbing it... rubbing it together?

Well, fine-tuned and cooked, it tastes better.

I didn't say it because it doesn't look like Azpar Kingdom, but I see, you found the Demon Kingdom. ”

Konoha says while thinking.

"Is that pepper delicious?"

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"It's not delicious on its own.

But I think the carbonara that came out before will add to the taste.

And it goes with the meat, and I think it can be used for a lot of cooking. ”

"Oh, I'm sure Takeo would like to import it."

"That's right, if Konoha can use it, then I think Takeo-sama told me that he can use pepper too."

... Konoha, how big is that tree nut? "

This is it.

Konoha answers Alice's question by using her thumb and index finger to tell her the size of the diameter.

"It's small."

How do you rub it? "

"Hmm... is there a mill?"

Mill??

Alice tilted her head.

"Here... I will prepare a jagged object on the outside of the cylindrical barrel and fix the fruit on the inside, and I will scrape the surface of the pepper fruit to powder it."

... if you say it quickly, it's the same as a masonry or wooden mound. "

Konoha used both hands to explain the pepper mill.

Should we prepare a small masonry or wooden mound?

It seemed like Alice had a better understanding of her acetabulum.

... yeah, that's right.

Kiso can do it, so it's fine.

Hah... I'll talk to Suzune next time. "

Konoha gave up.

"For now, it seems like it can be used for cooking."

The problem is that I can't imagine Takeo coming home in silence. "

Yes.

I'll probably sell that stuff to other territories and the Elvis family... Konoha, it's not delicious, but it's delicious, right? "

Alice asks Konoha.

"Well, it's a strange question, but yes, it can be used in a wide variety of dishes."

That's because it's a seasoning that doesn't exist in the Azpar Kingdom.

Isn't it okay to import exclusively at the Kitamizato family and sell it domestically?

In fact, there were times when it was rumored that the weight of pepper was the same as gold and silver, which was so expensive. ”

"... is it that expensive!?"

Alice was surprised.

"Nh... it's expensive... because the distribution network was poor when it was an expensive condiment at Takeo's place."

If distribution develops, the price will drop to what ordinary people can afford.

Well, it's true that the Kitamizato family is most involved in importing and exporting to and from the demon kingdom, so maybe it will be easier to get a monopoly market within the present time?

Well, it depends on what Takeo thinks, but the story of the time when the pepper was expensive is quite famous.

So... well, it won't be too expensive, but there's a chance that the Kitamizato family's finances will be somewhat enriched here. "

Takeo-sama found such a condiment.

But I wonder if everyone will buy it at a high price? "

"That's right.

I will let Levant investigate how much I can import.

This might sell differently than Worcester sauce. ”

Speaking of which... are you a nobleman or a merchant?

Grandpa Elvis will tell you.

"Yeah, it's a bad way to say it, but since Worcester Sauce can cover raw materials in Japan in the first place, we have implemented a policy of not letting others follow it at a low price.

Well, I try not to have any problems because I'm involving Cliff, and it's seen as a policy for the people to improve the happiness of ordinary people at a low price.

But this pepper is a little different.

As of now, it is not made in the Azpar Kingdom, but is produced in the enemy demon kingdom.

You may be able to import in Count Godwin's territory, but if the pepper isn't known at this point, then you don't have a business stream like Takeo.

In this case, only Takeo can import pepper.

The domestic distribution price is determined by Takeo.

Besides, the volume of imports is limited.

It is overwhelmingly not enough to say to all the people like Worcester Sauce.

If it becomes popular because it has been distributed cheaply, the terminal price of takéo will only increase even if it is released cheaply.

It's also possible that we'll be pressured to import more.

In that case, I will raise the price from the beginning and make it think that it is difficult to import any more, so that it is in the interest of the Kitamizato family to sell it to a limited distribution destination.

I think this is a natural choice for business people. ”

Konoha says.

"Hmm... well, unless you sell it at a price that I hate too much, it won't be a problem."

In addition, Lord Konoha says that there are a lot of delicious dishes that can be used.

The nobility will pick it up and buy it. "

"Nh... should I just notify Takeo-sama about this?"

We'll be able to negotiate while we're over there. ”

Alice tells Grandpa Elvis.

"That's right, Alice should teach Takeo the story while having a meeting with Lord Konoha."

Also, consider the distribution after import, and pay attention to the import volume and price.

You can do whatever you want with Takeo, right? ”

I see.

Alice nodded.
