A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 574: Matching time for adults. What about the staff at the coffee shop?
After dinner, Takeo and Grandpa Elvis, Frederick and Victor were moving to Grandpa Elvis's study.
Alice, Smith, Gina and the little ones seem to move into the guest room and enjoy their after-dinner tea.
"Dinner was excellent this evening, too.
"You were making it well.
"There was no meal like this in the territory I ruled, so I think I figured out how great the meal was after it was picked up by the Lord.
Grandpa Elvis, Takeo, and Victor were frantically talking to each other.
By the way, from here, Takeo is also supposed to sit in his seat and chat neatly.
There is also a Walt whiskey in front of everyone, each on his own.
Grandpa Elvis is straight, Takeo is half-rock, and Victor is watertight.
"Dining has been fun since Takeo arrived.
"Lord Elvis, I understand.
We were both looking forward to a meal on the trip.
"It's easy to imagine.
Takeo, when is the uster sauce you were just saying done?
"If I could make it according to the recipe, would it be about 4 days?
"Ho, it's quick to crack.
"You can make it first... because.
"I don't think it's a problem.
Has Lord Fallon eaten?
"Yes, I got it.
I was wondering if I could definitely sell that.
"Hmm...
Lord Fallon, do you think if we wholesale this Walt whiskey and Wuster sauce to the Demon Kingdom, we can sell it?
"Right...
Uster sauce can be sold if the territory I was ruling.
I don't drink much alcohol rather than walt whiskey, so there is only demand when visiting.
If you try it as a country, you see it sells both.
"Hmm..."
"Do you move to acquire foreign currency?
Takeo asks.
"Uhm. Basically, I know that money has to be made from other people.
"Yes."
"One day it may be depleted because if we collect it from the surrounding aristocratic territories, it will only travel within the country if we look at it to a large extent.
There may be fewer from other countries from now on, but I want to look for income.
"Lord Elvis thinks well ahead, doesn't he?
Victor impresses.
"No, no, I've never had anything to sell before.
You've come here to try to get greedy because something is about to sell.
Grandpa Elvis laughs bitterly.
"By the way, Lord Fallon, is there anything novel coming for us from your territory?
"Well... we're in business to buy clothes, furniture and other conditioning, but...
You were exporting meat and accessories for Elvis territory.
"Uhm.
I'm also exchanging dried goods from you.
I just bought it. Do we get some profit from this?
"When it comes to Walt whiskey, even in the realm. It's a full spread in three years.
It would be even further ahead to consider exports to other countries.
"How about Wuster sauce?
"It would be popular in this city first, then in the territory, and then in the surrounding aristocratic territories, and then in other countries, but you might want to export it at the stage that it became popular in this city.
Either way, what happens to production in six months or a year?
"Well, it still doesn't mean your finances will improve soon.
Grandpa Elvis groans lonely.
"Yes, unfortunately...
I was wondering if it would take a little while to reflect on everyone's salary.
"... Takeo, were you aware?
"I looked at the job profiles for each territory of the College of Magicians... there.
"Well... tough stuff.
"Is that why it's a lunchtime discount to make you more satisfied?
"Uhm.
Frederick figured it out.
"Yes.
Civilian, I thought of it as a policy to hold back the separation of martial arts officers.
In general, I am thinking about aiding 150 copper coins a month as aiding 5 copper coins for half the price as lunch costs 10 copper coins.
"Is it one silver coin and 50 copper coins?
It might improve everyone's psychology rather than raise their salaries... "
"Hmm? Does Takeo have anything to think about?
"No... I was wondering if anyone would bring lunch (...).
"I see... that's certainly possible.
Do some of you bring sandwiches from home?
How does Master Takeo think this policy will work?
"Right... what about a meal ticket?
"" "A meal ticket?
"Instead of making the aid for everyone, why not sell the wanted person a meal voucher for 5 or 10 sets of copper coins and only cover the daily menu for lunch at the coffee shop on the ground floor of the institute, plus raise the salaries of all the civil servants for 50 copper coins?
And the coffee shop's daily menu is... Mr. Frederick. How many civilian people were there?
"There are 340 people in this city and 40 in each town, right?
"So shall we have about half a dozen 150 people each day?
"Aren't they all for you?
"We don't all come, we don't all come every day.
I was wondering if it would be best to anticipate about half, considering both the coffee shop side and the disposal rate.
Besides, if you make a daily decision of 150 meals, you can manage the quantity of the purchase, so there is also a benefit on the store side.
And I think I'll provide the general public with a daily menu of 12 copper coins.
"It's a little high.
"Price difference 7 copper coins... it would mean benefits if you felt that much preferential, and the cost should be kept to about 6 copper coins in the first place.
That way the management of the coffee shop is going to be on track.
"Hmm, the key is how much you look at profits.
Takeo, how much do you want to make?
"The cook will be dispatched by the Elvis family, but someone who washes dishes, caters, cleans up, accounts, etc.... I'd like to earn that cost and the cost of food, and then all the expenses, because I'll have to hire a couple of people even for a short time.
"Employment or... what recruitment requirements do you make?
"It's a short time, so I think it's a good time to hire...
Do you speak to the familiar?
"Did you know Takeo like that?
"Is it Hilda, the chef's wife and daughter...
Aren't there any more?
"Hmm, I just have to ask via the head chef.
In a sense, it is suitable material.
"Really?
"The chef's wife is from my former cook.
"Oh, that's why Hilda is a good cook.
"Uhm."
"Okay.
I'll talk to the chef tomorrow, too.
"With that said, what kind of food can Lord Fallon eat?
Takeo's matter-of-the-mill time went by.
