Selmine, an elf merchant with a chamber of commerce in Manastella, finally took his gaze off the item placed in front of him and breathed out (one) of his grand sighs.
Sixty years after leaving the closed elf village. While entering and exiting various places with the flurry of curiosity, both elves and humans often asked me to procure items and introduce handouts (once), and when I realized it, I became a merchant.
Fortunately, this country (Manastella) appears to be less prejudiced against elves and beasts, but still over the years we have seen and heard various events. We also know that persecution and oppression exist against elves and beasts. So when I heard that something was to be established to protect my fellow countrymen from such persecution, I quickly expressed my participation. I still don't regret it.
He also undertook in two replies when he was asked to cooperate in obtaining - by moderate means - information on human society and in developing distribution networks in order to protect his fellow citizens. He also arranged for the military intelligence of Theodoram to flow to the upper echelons of countries such as Manastella, Marcus and Morvania. It was a delicious story even as a merchant because the humans appreciated it so much. But...
"... I didn't expect to be asked to build a sales route for sugar (something like this)..."
Sugar in this world - although not so much a rarity - is an item that is quite difficult to obtain relative to the magnitude of demand. At present, we have no choice but to buy what Theodrum exclusively manufactures and sells except through trade from abroad via coastal countries. The monopoly on sugar is also to be said to be the basis of Theodoram's national power, and Theodoram has therefore kept strictly secret any information on the manufacture of sugar and has prevented the emergence of rivals - regardless of the means by which they are lawfully unlawful and illegal.
It's like cutting the front and selling a fight to Theodoram, like bringing out a new sugar distribution route there. I guess that's why the liaison meeting has also been diagnosing the construction of a sales route that won't make any noise. They say it's good enough to explore the senses for the moment...
"... just bringing out sugar (this guy) as a sample would make a fuss..."
Cellumine is looking at bright white purified (...) sugar. Teodrum sugar is a substitute that boasts such purity that it has never even been seen before.
Did you also worry about the noise on the side of the liaison meeting? I brought in a few other things with different purity of purification... In addition to the bright white and saggy sugar, the slightly reddish sugar - the incoming sugar is roughly at this level, and I thought Cellumine was like this with sugar - and the brown sugar, and the loose molasses. Although brown sugar is relatively common, there is no mixing of lime grains or vegetable particles.
You won't believe that an item (thing) is just sugar (thing), even if you try to trade without showing the item. First, the request from the liaison meeting also involves examining which type of sugar is likely to be preferred. I can't fail to show the real thing, but I can't avoid the noise and prying... it's a grand challenge.
To the question of which type of sugar can be sold, white sugar is a choice if you are a merchant. It's a substitute I've never seen or thought about before, so if you take it to a nobleman or a rich man, you can buy it at a price. But I guess that's not the intention of the liaison meeting question. Which do the general public prefer...... good quality brown sugar, loose but likely to dissolve molasses, shipment-like white-bottom sugar...... or will you buy just as much white sugar as your fingertips would otherwise be unparalleled?... This is another pretty difficult question.
"Who did you take the story to..."
A few fellow merchants float in the back of their brains, but with no extra prying and a firm mouth is the minimum condition. You (more) are not too worried about the firmness of your mouth. As a result of Theodoram's intransigence in crushing competitors (rivals) around, it is implicit that the sugar trade will not take place at all. Ning's problem would be the kind of people who snitch on Theodoram to crush commercial enemies. When that happens, the merchant who is carrying extra luxury is awkward (first)...
In order to dazzle (crease) Theodrum's eyes a little, it might be better to mislead them into the distribution route of incoming shipments. So you're holding that route...
In Selmine's head, the sorting of the person dragging him into an accomplice progresses.
With an approximate idea, Selmine decided to take a dose, and he looked at the thing he was putting aside. This time it was brought in as a fee, as well as a necessary expense.
The biceps of Wyburn's dermis.
Not as much as sugar, this one is here, a substitute that is going to be a little noisy wherever you take it.
Wild Wyburn is rarely hunted, and even if the raised Wyburn dies, the material is often picked up by the owner, and the merchants entrusted with its processing are largely determined. Therefore, Wyburn's materials rarely appear in the city.
The skin membrane brought to Selmine was stripped from the body of the Flying Dragon (Wyburn) unit that Crowe hunted as a companion when he cleaned up Theodrum's Illustrative Rear invasion unit. Of the massively obtained corpses, meat and other materials remained untouched, although meat and other items were handed out within their companions, including pits - still excessive. The point is that I pushed it well in the form of gratuities, but it was worth the market value just to meet the rewards of the challenge. The problem is...
"I wonder where you took it..."
