Isekai Ryouridou

(8) Day 10 - Second half of battle

"What the hell does that mean - what does that mean?

"It means exactly what the word says. Even at our inn dinner, I'd like to handle your dishes. It's hard to welcome you as a cook, like Castle Town, but I was wondering if I could buy up only your cooking and add it to my shop's dedication - whoa, excuse me"

If you notice, a Sim customer stood behind Mr. Naudis securely.

"Welcome. Is that one of you?

Then the Sims, who likened like twins, appeared softly from behind them, offering them copper coins from left to right.

"That's two of you. Thank you."

Mr. Naudis began to mow his brown beard with a seemingly sorry face.

"It's time for Jomtien. I wish I could have come sooner. I had a morning job, too."

"No.... then, is it possible for you to wait a moment? If you cook up some spare meat, I can leave the stall for a little while."

"Yes, of course," Mr. Naudis pulled me into the side of the stall as I called him.

Yumi, not so tall, makes a mockery of the appearance.

"What do you mean you want to handle Asta's cooking? You're just buying up food and selling it at supper time?

"That's right. Anyway, this dish is very popular with the people of Jagal. All the guests complain that Gibba wants to eat Gibba, and it's already unhappy with my inn dinner. As it turns out, it's a completely disgusting thought."

"But if you want to make money up to your father's inn, the price of the food will go up, too, right? Isn't that what nobody eats?

"I don't know. If you want to make decent money, the price does get you up though. I wonder if you can expect to sell it if it's a little bit better than other dishes."

So I said, "Well, that's not gonna make you any money."

"Sure, the money you get from cooking goes down a lot. Still, more innkeepers will make more money as a result"

Stealing on the side as he baked the meat, Mr. Naudis still had a soft look on his grim face, relative to Yumi.

The rough feeling of the people of the south and the thinness of the lines of the people of the west look like a rather complicated teasing temper.

"For example, if you stipulate that Giva's dishes are five red, Caron's dishes are four, and Kimmus's dishes are three, you may pay high copper coins to eat only those customers who wish to eat them. If you can sell a lot of caron and kimmus dishes that way, you won't make too much money."

"Hmmm... you're thinking about it all the time"

"Because I thought about it, it took me days to make up my mind. I've been disturbing my mind ever since the night I heard about the reputation of this dish from Jagal customers."

That's all I heard, the meat finally cooked up.

"Excuse me. I'll be back in a minute, please," she said to Sheila-Lou, and I'll stand in front of Mr. Naudis.

"Thank you for waiting.... thanks to all your conversations with Yumi, I've been able to put together a lot of ideas."

"Don't be like that. That's disgusting."

"I'm sorry.... Um, I have some planting and house work too, so I need to get back to the house before dusk. Is this a story about not needing my body and just giving you the dishes?

"Yes, sir. If you can, you'd prefer a dish like the one in the next stall that you can serve just by warming it up. It's not a snack, it's an amount of supper - if you start with about 30 to 50 meals, it's enough."

"I see. Supper makes you need a little more to eat.... how much per meal is that and at what price can you buy that off?

"Right. As for the quantity, it's about 1 and 5 times the amount of this dish, and I would like you to sell that in red 3 pieces - more, just a little cheaper. I wonder if about 25 pieces of red in 10 meals and 50 pieces of red in 20 meals would be appropriate, how about that?

The cost of ingredients for 'Myrmu baking' is roughly 0,5 red copper coins in the size of a stall and 25% as a cost rate, if the giva meat is not included in the calculation.

That 1,5 times the amount means that the cost of materials is 0,75 red copper coins.

The sales value is two and five red copper coins.

Cost of sales ÷ Since sales × 100 is the cost rate, 0,75 ÷ 2,5 × 100 is - 30%.

Although it should be quite a difference of 5% at cost rate. Considering labor costs and detention time, it would be a better business than selling in a street.

Well, even if I don't think about it that much, I don't feel like letting this kind of opportunity slip away. I knew I'd have to make sure I got the line as a business.

"As for this one, I think it's a thankful story. But you're selling it at your store for five red copper coins, right? If you do that, compared to the food sold in this stall, the price will be more than double, even though the quantity is 1,5 times higher."

"If we don't sell with that, we'll cut the price even further. If it was meant to be, about four pieces of red would be appropriate. … then the profits will go down more and more, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's a bad business"

You mean you spent days thinking and deciding what to do around it?

Even at this point, it's a lifelong development for me.

Because if you can sell snacks at the street by day and dinner dishes at the inn by night, you can let so many people know what Giva meat tastes like.

But I decided to take another step.

"... Excuse me, is it possible for you to tell me the purchase value of Karon's meat itself, etc?

"Is it the purchase value of Karon's meat? In my shop, it's just one piece of red for a meal."

"Huh? That means the price of a meat one or five times the amount of food in this store, right?

"Yes, sir. Right."

This needs to be calculated again.

The meat used in our store is roughly 180 grams.

That 1,5 times means roughly 270 grams.

So one red sheet means… 100 ÷ 270 is roughly 0.37, so 100 grams is 0.37 red copper coins, is that okay?

In the average household, caron meat should also have been priced at less than one red copper coin at 100 grams, which makes it less than half that price. Is the vendor price rough or something like that?

So - what would it feel like if Giva meat could be sold at the same price as Caron's meat?

If you are 0.37 red copper coins at 100 grams, 3.7 red copper coins at 1 kilo.

It's an average of 40 kilos from Gibba the Beast, so if you convert it per head, it's 148 red copper coins.

If it's just horns and fangs, it's only about 12 red copper coins, and if you smooth the fur, it's only about 12, so it's more than ten times the amount compared to that.

On day ten, I finally saw a specific number.

Whether it is possible to put as much value on it as it is on Karon, which is more expensive than Kimmus, that could be where the battle stands.

"Right...... I'd like to think positively about selling the dish itself, but only Poitan takes a lot of work to process, so as always there, you might want to use an ingredient called Fuwano. Then I think it's possible to serve 50 meals after the stall business."

"Hmm. Then the amount of the purchase will change slightly."

"Yes, that may be minus the cost of Fuwano. One red for three meals in the amount of snacks means one red for two meals in the amount of dinner."

Poitan is cheaper, but this one will eat a little bit of it. But the processing of Poitan is really a hassle, so given that, I don't think it's a loss story.

"It's just... I don't have plans for things like next month or next month, and maybe the same kind of work could come in from other inns, cafeterias, etc."

"Yes, sir. That can be a lot. My shop is not the only place where the people of the south live, and only the same number exist where the people of the east live."

Without further ado, Naudis nodded loudly.

"And if you go out and sell a dish of giva meat in my shop, these people might try to imitate this.... or sooner or later, I guess that's the kind of situation you're going to get"

"Really? It would be a great honor, but in my limited time, it would be impossible for me to respond to all of them."

"... I guess so," Naudis narrowed his eyes just a little.

Maybe that's why I'm trying to raise the price of the dish.

But I was thinking something completely different.

"If that happens, I think I'm going to negotiate with you that you can't just buy Giva's meat, not mine."

"Huh!?" It was Yumi, not Naudis, who raised his voice.

"So even if we keep it in the" Great Tree Pavilion of the South, "shouldn't we also keep in mind the path of slowly buying only meat and cooking it with our own hands? That would also make it possible to make just as much profit in Giva's cuisine as in any other dish…"

"Wait a minute! Wouldn't Asta's store sales drop when Giva's food gets sold so much everywhere!?

He looks a lot rushed and Yumi grabs me in the arm.

"Absolutely, I'd rather just sell the food!... or is it a better business for Asta to sell the meat itself?

That's not true.

Fa's house has already run out of Giva meat in yesterday's phase, and just today, it has just begun to buy up the meat of the Lew family.

If you value the profits of Fa's house alone, that would of course be a gainful story to keep selling only my cooking.

But we didn't start this business for that purpose.

So I decided to smile back at Yumi.

"It's a little hard to explain, but for me, that's the preferred path."

"Really?... I hope so..."

With such a convincing look on his face, Yumi let go of my arm and pulled back.

Naudis has a mustache, "Hmm."

"It's a very interesting story, but first, if you sell your dishes, that's satisfying. I'd like to think about that afterwards."

"Yes. Thank you. … So, are you sure you want to meet after business? Jomtien is finally getting closer."

"Right. It is time for me to return to the Inn.... Then I will also speak to the husband of Kimmus's Tail Pavilion today. It's not a good idea to have a misunderstanding."

That's how Mr. Naudis walked away with a chicken.

While dropping that back off, Yumi growls her tongue "Yikes".

"Cooking giva meat in the dining room... I'd like to imitate it at my place, but I hardly have any southern or eastern guests. Just a guest of the people of the west. Well, they're not going to be able to order Gibba's food."

"I guess so. So far."

So far, there's nothing left to do.

In just ten days, you can't possibly do that, such as uprooting and flipping the discriminatory sentiments of the people of the West.

But I could fascinate the people of the south and east so far.

Bridging for the ultimate purpose was possible.

Let's start with "The Great Tree Pavilion in the South" and see if we can achieve success.

"Ah. Well, even if my contract with Kimmus's Tail Pavilion is limited today, it doesn't seem like my shop will turn up. … well, I don't mind because I just paid a copper coin for which divider, and it doesn't change the taste of your dishes."

And at the end of the day, with my usual uncontrolled smile, Yumi pulled my arm.

"Bye! My friends will be tired of waiting, so I'm going home. I'm looking forward to seeing you the day after tomorrow, right?

"Yes, thank you," he said, saying goodbye to Yumi, then I could finally get back to the stall.

Sheila-Lou, who had kept the 'Myrmou Grill' stall by herself, smiles at me very calmly.

"Welcome back.... You have 26 dishes left"

"Huh? It's sold a lot."

"Here are 24 of them..." Vina-Lou also speaks from "Gibba Burger".

"In total, are there just fifty left?... This is going to end sooner or later."

On the arrow tip I said, a customer came again.

It's a threesome with yellow-brown skin that looks pretty galloping.

"Welcome. Three, right?" I greeted her with a smile.

This customer also looks familiar.

Though a few days ago I came to the 'Giva Burger' stall with difficulty, Vina-Lou and others were the wings of buying the product.

Even though it was like that in the beginning, it is now completely regular.

"Hmm... sounds like you're still thriving today, honey"

"Yes, thanks to you"

"Damn it, where the hell did I step off the road to pay for this copper coin and start eating Giva meat?"

Apparently he hasn't had any alcohol today and his tone was rough but his expression felt calm.

"Thank you for waiting," Sheila-Lou offered the product, and the one who received it turned to me in a blatant manner.

"Nevertheless, there are many beautiful people by the woods. If Gibba's meat is so delicious and a woman is such a beauty, well, let's live by the woods. You mean it's not weird to have some crazy idea"

"Haha. It's not like that."

"It has to be that way. What is it? Anyway, there's a mix of your manners in here, isn't there?

"No, there is no annihilation either! There's no way you can imitate a young man like me."

I took a good look at Sheila-Lou, but she was just listening to the customer bullshit with a polite, faceless look.

The three customers leave Meermoo Grill in their hands, and I soak up the sweat that's not even there.

"You're a perfectly delightful customer. Excuse me, Sheila-Lou."

"It's not like Asta apologizes. … but it seems that many people mistake me for Asta's wife"

"Huh? Oh, really?

"Yes, I think they say those words once or twice a day. … it's strange to think of people in town as the daughter-in-law of Asta who can't do it like me."

"No, I'm the one who can't! I can't believe a nice bunch of women like Sheila-Lou are my daughter-in-law...... wow!

Suddenly, he slapped me on the shoulder and I shouted.

Looking back, Ai-Fa, holding some aria in his right hand, stands with his face up.

"Don't shout all of a sudden. Wouldn't that surprise you?"

"Oh, it's this one that surprised me! I'm telling you, kill the signs and stay away from behind!

"Then do I have to walk purposefully in footsteps? Don't talk too much."

Sheila-Lou also doesn't look upset about this, and receives Aria from Ai-Fa.

"Thank you.... Asta seemed busy, so I thought I'd ask Ai-Fa for her last purchase."

"Well, thank you for your concern.... Is that it? Has Rimi-Lou left yet?

"Luu's next sisters picked me up a long time ago. While you were leaving the stall and talking."

As I said, Ai-Fa looked at me and Sheila-Lou quietly.

"Duh, what's up, Ai-Fa?

"No... when I did look at it again, I thought it was something my wife and husband didn't even look like."

I knew you'd be listening!

I haunted my head about what to say back, but Sheila-Lou smiled "it's outrageous" sooner than that.

"It will never be possible, such as Asta choosing me as her daughter-in-law. … and I also have deep trust and respect for Asta, but I don't think it's possible to choose as my husband"

"... Really?" he exclaimed, and Ai-Fa returned the creeping.

I wait for that figure to settle in the shade again, and then Sheila-Lou hears me sorry.

"Excuse me. I've been very rude to Asta. … but it occurred to me that I should convey my thoughts firmly to Ai-Fa"

"Yes, that decision seems very correct. … and I also have a deep sense of trust and respect for Sheila-Lou."

Sheila-Lou smiled with great pleasure before quickly turning back to the front.

There were also new customers approaching.

Finally, Jomtien.

More crowds than usual.

And after all, I feel like there are more customers in the west.

"Sheila-Lou, I've got two of the rest of the gibbons. Wow... Will you take turns...?

"Yes," Sheila-Lou moves over to "Gibba Burger," and Vina-Lou comes with a replacement.

Eighty prepared "Giva Burgers" also finally into the last twenty?

Kaku's "Myrmu Grill" has 23 pieces left.

"This is crackling out. Hey... I knew it would be more fun to sell out than to sell out...?

As Vina-Lou said, I can't stop being a guest.

On the last day of ten days, it is by far the best high pace.

That's how the product sold from next to next, and by the time it was less than an hour past Jomtien, there were also three remaining pieces of "Myrmu Grill".

"Wow, this one's going to sell out better today," the person came when I screamed gladly.

It is Milan-Math.

"Oh, thank you."

This was the first time Milan-Math approached the stall other than as the first watchman in the morning.

Milan-Math looks at the meat left in the wooden dish and snorts "Hmm".

"If you sell that out, are you done already? What the hell have we got for you today?

"This is 90 meals as usual, and that stall over there tried 80 meals"

"170 meals in total? That's a ridiculous number."

Saying, Milan-Math has been offering copper coins.

Two red copper coins.

"Huh? Are you buying me food?

"Oh."

"Thank you.... you know, I could check the flavor on this little wooden dish..."

"That's a nasty one. They're offering copper coins, so sell them. No need to taste it."

Saying in the same grumpy voice as usual, "This is the last time, anyway," he adds.

"At the end of the day, what does that mean?"

and two men and women with skin the same color as Milan-Mus approached there.

"Look, here it is. The sign says Giva, too, right? This is the rumor, the Giva meat dish."

"Wow, that's disgusting... hey, let's not..."

"That's what I thought at first too! This guy tastes strange and unscrupulous!

And that young man, who still looks a lot younger, offers me four red copper coins in a slightly oblique way.

"Hey, two."

"Yes, thank you!

If I paired it with Milan-Math, this would have sold out exactly.

I rub three products into the hands of Vina-Lou and they end up in the hands of the Milan-Maths.

Milan-Math walked off to the bustling south without saying anything.

"... Vina-Lou, please end the fire"

That's all I'm gonna say and go after Milan-Math.

"Milan-Math, wait!

Milan-Math doesn't stop.

But it wasn't even a fast-paced one, so I was able to catch up a little over the 'Giva Burger' stall.

"Um, what does this last mean?

Milan-Math keeps walking, grabbing 'Meermoo Grill'.

That look is still the same as usual.

"... what are you changing your blood phase, you? Starting the day after tomorrow, I assume you'll sign with Westwind Pavilion?

"Uh... no, but on that matter..."

"Or do you want to saddle up for" The Great Tree Pavilion in the South "? Either way, no matter where you sign with it, nothing will change. It's only about my daughter's pennies, like renting stalls. I haven't missed anything, I'll just have to sign a deal with a store that's going to treasure you."

Milan-Math stopped there, stopping at the edge of the road.

From a slightly lower position than I am, a grumpy glance flies.

"I don't like people by the woods. Even my daughter is terribly scared of you guys. There's not a single reason I want to hold you back."

"That's... that's better for Milan-Math, too, then of course it's not a bluff..."

But then why didn't you tell me that as of yesterday?

And - why are you eating Giva meat dishes with such a difficult face?

"... even if you're making a dime, lend me a stall and it's a piece of white copper coin. It's wrong as a business to give it to other stores that look forward to making that kind of money. Even if the folks at the woods hate you, it's a stupid thing to do to lose money because of that.... That's what I thought, so it just made me think until I was convinced"

"So - after thinking about it until you were convinced, you felt like giving up the contract to another store?

That was a very unfortunate story, but it would be Milan-Math's mood that should be respected at number one.

Milan-Math, however, dropped his gaze on the 'Myrmou grill' on his freshman, whilst saying, "It's not like that either".

"Yeah? So what do you mean?

"As a merchant, I guess I should sign a contract. But I didn't think there was any point in sticking around until I felt uncomfortable.... because there can't be a day forever when I or my daughter can forgive the people by the woods"

With his gaze down, Milan-Math snaps quietly.

"My best friend was killed by the people of the woods. And that screwed up my wife, too. It was ten years ago.... so I think I should screw all the people by the woods. What did you know about the damage to the farm? What a hunter."

"But it's..."

"Still, if a person who imitates evil will be properly tried, I won't complain that I'm just as good. But the people of the woods can do whatever they want to be sheltered by their lords. My best friend fell off a cliff, and his hand held the horn of Gibba and the necklace of his fangs - and yet the people by the woods were never brought to justice."

I sneak up on my fist.

Because there was no evidence or anything, Yumi said that the conversation had gotten nasty - but was there any evidence?

On top of that, there was no disputing hand for the people of the woods?

In front of my eyes where emotions are stirred up, rather Milan-Math is more calm than usual.

It seemed to me that it was the colour of sorrow, not anger, that floated in those brown eyes.

"That's how our wife passed away, sleeping hard.... the dead man was my best friend and, for my wife, an important brother who raised herself on behalf of her parents. So I'm sure my daughter and I will continue to resent the people of the woods for the rest of our lives."

"But... that's..."

The people of the woods attacked the traveler, took the crop, and turned away the woman, as Dora's father once said.

Neither did I-Fa try to deny it.

Such a human being, surely, exists inside the woodland.

(Is that all the work of the Sung family...?

I don't know.

However, it was twenty years ago - it should have been in the place of the previous parents - that the certainty of the Sung and Luu families became decisive.

By that time, the Sung family had figured out the women who had decided to dowry with the Lou family and chased them to self-harm.

Since then, the Sung family has already rotted.

"But still..." I say, and I hold my mouth on the way.

But still, not all of the people by the woods are such vicious people.

It was unbearable for me to confuse the people of the Ai-Fa and the Lou and Rutim families with those people.

And - the appearance of a weak bunch of women just once we met comes back to mind.

It looks like a bunch of women with young children, named Sarris Lang-Fou.

Human beings of small clans who do not have the power to hunt as much giva as they need, even starve to death, they say, is there.

Sarris Lang-Fou also said that if Ai-Fa hadn't snuck me a fur share, I wouldn't have even been able to milk a toddler.

Even though there are as many fruits in the forest that are suitable for consumption, in order not to starve Giva, Mizumi starves - there are also people by the forest who are dying, keeping their covenant with the Lord of Genos and martyring in pride as hunters.

Such, on top of all the spectacular self-sacrifices, the prosperity of Genos is made up.

Yet - swirling in the hearts of the people of Genos are feelings of resentment, fear and contempt.

Would there be such a ridiculous story?

Some people who imitate evil and others who seek refuge in it, without looking at the many painful eyes, only the humans of the city well, both by the woods and in the boarding town, have been subjected to the raw of misery.

If I may be clearer - isn't it a construct that only the humans of the ruling hierarchy of Genos and the Sung family of the chieftaincy suck the sweet juice with the hold, and that other humans are carried with them the misery and misfortune for that matter?

"Still, what? Not all the people by the woods are evil, but you are?

And, Milan-Math, throw it away low.

"I know a hundred things about that. If all 500 people living by the woods were such villains, there would be death everyday. Everyone knows that. - If not, I'll admit you're a businessman from the start."

That being said, Milan-Math threw the last bite of 'Myrmu Grill' into his mouth.

"Besides, even the people in town aren't stupid. If you guys were such vicious people, no one would buy food or anything.... so stick around, instead of stopping you guys, I'm not going to get rid of you. Still, if" The Great Tree Pavilion in the South "or" The West Wind Pavilion "is going to treasure you, there's not a single reason for you to stay in my shop?

"No... if you tell me you're not going to get rid of me, I'd like to take care of Kimmus's Tail Pavilion the day after tomorrow."

"What?", Milan-Math opened his eyes slightly.

"Why? Doing that won't do you any good, though?

"Why, I get in trouble when they say... Was it because Milan-Math was so happy he ate my food"

Besides, Milan-Math has been worrying me for three days to define my feelings.

At the end of the day, if you could come to the conclusion that you're not going to pull it off or throw it away - on my side, there's no reason to leave Kimmus's Tail Pavilion.

"A young man like me is the store owner, so I know there are many things I don't need to do, but I will do my best, so thank you for coming back the day after tomorrow."

I peeled off the towel and let him bow his head.

"... you're such a dude, really"

And, Milan-Math, spills a sigh of words.

"I'm not talking about anything that I can bow my head to.... if you want to feel uncomfortable until you pay for the copper coin, do it yourself"

"Yes! Thank you!

When I looked up, Milan-Math had already turned his back and started walking.

I rewind the towel and hurry back to the stall.

But, after all, the emotions that had to be calm remained swirling in my chest.

(That means ten years ago, it doesn't matter what Diga-Sung or Yamil-Sung is. - But after all, is that the Sung family person who did it?

The truth, I don't know.

But isn't it impossible to keep such sinners in the wild and to fill the gulf between Genos and the people by the woods?

Even if our business became a bridge between the lodging town and the woodland, allowing the majority of people to eat the meat of Giva without care - the carelessness of those who were actually harmed, people in positions like Milan-Math, would not be completely clear.

A sinner must be brought to justice.

Unless such a normal thing is enforced as a normal thing, I don't think it's possible to have a real mutual understanding or anything like that.

(Well, then, what the hell...)

Return to the stall with unanswered annoyance.

So, back - a slightly longer man with a golden brown head stood in front of the 'Giva Burger' stall.

"Hey, I could put my face on crack today."

Regardless, it is Camua-Josh.

It should have been about the first time in four days that I did see that.

Instead, the boy with flax hair is also properly discouraged.

"That's a real hiccup, Camua-Josh. Looking good, above all."

I lowered my head gently and then I went around the inside of the stall.

Lara-Lew laughs more.

"These old men were the last. Bubba, this is over!

It was only an hour and a little past Jomtien.

The 170 food dishes seemed to have sold out now.
