A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 549: Discussion of Takeo and the others. (Takeo buys weird stuff and how to make money on the wholesale market on the Elvis side. )
Erica and the others then went back to the royal castle with a little cheer.
Takeo and the others were a little more relieved because they were feeling a little better than when Erica's hindsight came.
And now the four of us have a relaxing cup of tea.
"Dear Takeo, I was talking to Erica earlier.
What's that supposed to mean?
"That's the basics of a market economy.
Quickly, it is part of an economic policy that comes from the idea that the price of things should be free.
First of all, you want to free up your purchase value so that you can get it cheaper at normal times, but that can also lead to higher prices in years of inactivity.
"Um... good and bad.
"Right.
However, since I have been buying from producers so far, I wonder if it would be possible to have an environment where quality goods are available at a lower price compared to other producers.
Besides, I definitely don't have to let you go through His Highness William's city (...).
"Huh? Really?
"Yes. That's what I think.
Next door is Count Godwin territory. You can make a deal directly, right?
We talked about it like we were going to buy it, but also to sell it.
"Dear Takeo... Elvis territory (of which) doesn't have that much to go outside...
And it won't be fresh because of the distance and the distance... "
Alice makes me look sad and say.
"Hehe.
Is that why you're canning?
"Ah! I see.
Alice makes it purr brighter and nods.
"We just have to go buy wheat and cereals from all over the place and sell processed products (...) from us.
Besides, we're not selling to the people, we're only selling to the transporters.
They are traveling on a daily basis.
Then don't you think there's a demand if you make and sell cans that are made edible just by warming up stews and meat wine stews?
"I see... when you make something that turns into dried meat?
Victor nods and asks.
"Yeah. You want that to circulate at a price that follow-ups aren't allowed, either.
That would increase your visibility at once... but is it also a hand to popularize it in general?
"Master, what dish do you think you can sell?
Gina asks.
"Right...
It must be common to simmer or soak vegetables in oil... would the taste be better with a slightly darker eye?
Well, you don't even know what ingredients are right for you in the first place.
I don't even know how to make it... "
"Master, is the flavor a dark eye?
"Yes.
You can dilute it if you feel it's thick, but it's hard to thicken it.
So... oh, can you sell water sometimes?
"" "Sell water!?
3 people surprised.
"The thing you need most on your journey is actually water.
So when you travel by carriage, there are villages and towns in just the right place to rest.
But that's a story in the realm, where there are no villages between the realms.
So if we sell water... no, is this still ahead of us?
"Hmm? Lord, is it hard to sell water?
"Yeah. The water is tasteless and colorless.
So it's hard to embalm, right?
I don't think it bothers me if I add some fragrance to the simmer.
Water must be difficult.
So what better to do with the water bottle now?
"Dear Takeo, is this a water bottle?
Alice starts to freak out.
"No, shall we stop talking about this?
Probably comes up with an endless number of ideas.
"" "Huh..." "
Alice and the others reply back raw.
Takeo was aware of new problems.
"Well, actually.
I met Erica and the others at the grocery store.
"Is it a grocery store?
"Yes.
Alice, I picked up a souvenir for the lady.
It was a store that was also buying from travelers.
and Takeo takes out a pair of sapphire pendants as he says.
Its necklace consisted of five sapphires, with circular diamond cuts in the centre and large diamond cuts in all directions in silver frames.
"Beautiful ~."
Alice tells her honest thoughts.
"Yeah.
But the price of this is the problem.
"Was it expensive?
Gina asks.
"The other way around.
It was two silver coins.
"" "Huh!?
Alice and the others peek at the pendant.
"Is it glass?
"No, Master Alice, can you describe the bright pale color so far with glass?
Ask Alice while Victor is surprised.
"Plus they say this pendant is a substitute that the store owner doesn't remember purchasing or buying.
"" "It's disastrous. It's suspicious!
"Takeo, this is a ritual jewelry.
Teto sat on his desk as Takeo and the others turned to his voice at the same time.
"Teto, weren't you sleeping satisfied with dinner?
"Takeo, I'm a spiritual god, aren't I?
You don't need to eat or sleep.
Teto says with a clear face as always, but Takeo and the others say, "No, you were eating molly with that roast beef sparkling in your eyes earlier, weren't you?" and smile bitterly.
"Really?
So, tet, ritual... "
"It's a ritual jewelry, Takeo.
"What is that?
"I don't think it's a place without faith, as it is in this world.
It's a decoration that humans use to communicate with gods in our world.
"Mm-hmm... is it like a bronze mirror or a hook ball?
Takeo pulls Japanese history out in his head.
"It would be the same thing.
This... doesn't seem to be harmful.
Teto says as he looks at the pendant.
"Isn't that harmful?
Is there some kind of magic involved?
Alice asks.
"Didn't this take this pendant apart during the divine dance and put it on for five people to communicate silently?
There is silent magic.
Alice, Victor and Gina said, "I don't know? face," but Takeo is surprised when he opens his eyes.
"... Teto, is this really harmless?
"Yeah, the body has no (...) effect.
"... okay, I'll think about it for a second.
Takeo pockets the pendant and puts out the next one.
Now it was a simple object with thin chains at the top where the larger ruby was not in a single frame.
"Is there a next?
Alice was stunned.
