Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 167: Like Baking Bread

"Um... these days, what are they like? I'm not sure what..."

What I appreciate talking to Sarah about is that you don't know what you don't know.

So this one is easy to explain.

"Right... right now you're making one type of shoe in the company's (our) workshop for about 20 people, right? I want you to imagine where 10 rows are lined up."

"Yes!? That's a lot, you can't get into this building, can you?

"That's why we're building a dedicated building. It's ten times the size of this building, so you can see it from end to end."

"... such a big building, I've never seen anything but a church..."

Explain the image of the factory running because Sarah can't seem to imagine it.

"I just want you to imagine.

At a fixed time in the morning, a large number of working people arrive.

Everyone flips through the boards of attendance, and they work in a line determined by it.

Because the work of the company (of which) is finely divided, people and children of powerless women can also work in some places.

Only for what I've worked, I get paid.

From the side where it could be done, the shoes are put in boxes and transported out by carriage.

Not only in this city, but also in other countries, adventurers and pioneers will all be wearing company shoes.

When the sun goes down, the people who worked in the line turn the attendance boards upside down and leave work.

The building will be quiet, and to welcome tomorrow's people, only those who prepare will do the cleaning and count the parts.

200 people repeat this every day. "

"... a little unimaginable"

Sarah said, not sure.

Well, is that right? Imagine an organization that has never existed in the world.

This is not my way of explaining it. Instead of describing the sight you can imagine, you should explain it in an understandable language. So I decided to change the way I said it.

"Have you ever baked bread in a village?

"Yeah! I do! It costs firewood, so we all cook in the village's old bread-roasting kiln, at festivals, at weddings, on special occasions!

I see. Was Sarah obsessed with white bread because she was aware that it was something special that she could eat only at the festival? I like porridge a lot. Well, if that's what you know, it's easy to explain.

"Suppose Sarah wanted to deliver baked bread to everyone in the world every day"

"Ooh!?

Good advice, good eating.

"What can we do to make bread at an awesome rate for everyone in the village?

"Uh, peel the pruned wheat, blow it up, and powder it with a water wheel or a mortar or something, work it out, let it rest... bake it, wrap it up, right? Do you want to share it with everyone in the village?

"So, how long can you cook it?

"Hey... it's for everyone in the village over the course of a day, so about 200?

"What if they tell you to burn 500?

"Yeah! Yeah... I wonder if I could get help from the boys and kids, too. Something that would have been more powerful to have the wheat bag blown off or carried to the water wheel shed. Even kids can wrap bread."

"What if they told you to burn 1,000?

"... I'm starting to get it. You'll call for manpower from the next village. I'll make a new one and bake it there. I'll be in trouble if it rains, so I might build a roof in some places."

"If you're from a neighboring village, you have a lot of different habits, don't you?

"Well, there's a lot of bread depending on the village too... Size, shape, how to bake. But we should discuss it and make it the same, right?

I nod and take away the shoes I left on the workbench in the workshop.

"This is bread."

Take up parchment paper, a manual for quality inspection.

"This is the agreement to make the same bread in the discussion."

Look back and point to the whole workshop and say.

"Everyday in a large number of people, the mechanism is to bake large quantities of bread, that's the factory. I want to make shoes to bake bread and deliver them to all the adventurers and pioneers in the world."

To that extent, Sarah also seemed to grasp the image as the factory flourished.
