One month from the first congress.

The shop and workshop are completed.

It is a one-story building for safety. Most of them are made by amateurs, so they don't go to the royal capital to have them built by specialists.

There is plenty of vacant land, so there is enough space.

Randy, a metalworking craftsman, immediately started installing furnaces and equipment because the minimum equipment was brought from the royal capital. There are still a lot of equipment shortage, but we order and order it.

… It is supposed to be, but heavy and bulky packages take time and effort to transport, so Mitsuha was going to take the intermediary and carry it secretly.

"Randy, I brought the material.

Randy was surprised at Mitsuha who suddenly came with heavy loads.

Of course. Who would expect the lord to carry heavy metal ingots and come alone to the workshop?

A great unrivaled Viscount who picked up the place where he had no income and was stuck. In addition, she is the princess of thunder, the hero of the salvation. Randy, who is not good at socializing but has common sense, flew away in a hurry.

"I have it too! I have it!"

Scratch your luggage in a hurry.

Heavy….

"It's a metal material from our country, but if you have a problem, say it's harder, softer, and more."

When I opened my luggage, I saw various metal ingots. For example, each one is not so big. Something like a sign is attached for identification.

Randy takes some out and examines them carefully.

Landy is the one who doesn't notice Mitsuha, the lord, standing still.

"e……"

Strange.

what is this.

Similar ingots, but each one is slightly different. When I hit it, it seemed that each had a different hardness. It is also pretty hard.

And the strangely light metal mixed in. Is this really metal? No, wait, check a little more first ...

Mitsuha left Randy and returned as it seemed useless to wait. I wanted something to make for the time being, but decided to come back later.

It was a while before Randy noticed that and turned blue.

Shiota is still under construction. It is a good idea to use a branch-type flow-down system that is less susceptible to the effects of the season and weather, requires less labor, and has a smaller space than other methods.

With this, rock salt transported from a distance hits the central salt distribution industry ... there seems to be various possibilities, so we were planning to use it for domestic consumption and manufacturing of salted products for the time being.

Even if you can make a lot of salted dishes, the economic effect is great. Because the economic size of this territory was originally very small.

The school is already in operation.

Because of the small population, there are not many children. So, the place uses the room of the Viscount House. It is more convenient for teaching and preparing for lunch.

Also, the employees, not only the colettes but also the children, were given the classes to the applicants, so it was convenient to use the Viscount Mansion as well.

The servants who cannot read and write seem to be ashamed, and they are all motivated.

The teachers were literate and vacant, Miriam, Rachel and Mitsuha. In particular, Mitsuha's money-making courses, nasty techniques for crushing enemies, and lessons using scientific experiment sets purchased at Tokyu Hands were very popular, and even the butler Anton was heard. Although some classes were not suitable for children, Mitsuha did not mind the details.

Rather than reluctant to go to school, children were fascinated by the fun of playing with children of the same age and learning that they could realize that it was clearly for their future, and the delicious lunch that they could eat full. It is said that once is too little.

And it is a shop.

It has a sales area several times larger than that of the royal capital stores, and stores that used to exist in stores up to now, such as meat, wild vegetables, seafood, vegetables and cereals, etc. All daily necessities such as metal parts are available as they are. Moreover, the fish were purchased.

Yes, in the past, fish were damaged quickly, and to avoid the risk of the shop suffering a total loss if unsold, the fish were paid for as much as they were sold, and the unsold was returned. is there.

Otherwise, stores are not sneaky because only a small amount can be purchased for fear of risk. With a consignment system, fishers can place as many items as they like, so if you are lucky you can sell a lot. Instead, if they don't sell, they make little money and bring the fish on the verge of being damaged and eat it with everyone in the fishing village.

Never sell unsold goods in the evening. If you sell in the evening, nobody buys fish the next day until the evening.

However, the new store has a complete purchase system.

So, regardless of discount or sale, the store was free.

And they sold the processed foods, that is, boiled and baked. They added value and increased profit margins. It digs up the demands of singles who have trouble cooking fish. In addition, if processed, the freshness of the product will be reduced to a new product, and the expiration date will be extended.

Furthermore, the unsold raw fish was processed at the same time as the store closed, and processed into dried fish and salted fish.

By these, complete purchase of fish is realized.

The fishermen were motivated to know that earning them would definitely be an income.

Moreover, the shop was lined with fishing nets and fishing equipment made in Japan. Its power has already been demonstrated directly by the Lord.

… By the way, Mitsuha, who went to a small fishing village in Japan and learned how to cast a net while he was in his spare time, was unable to get away from the old people who had fun and came close to him until he had muscle pain. Special training was continued.

A place to dry shellfish and seaweed was also prepared. In addition to seaweed and seaweed, we have begun collecting and processing hitogusa and seaweed called aosato. In addition, preparations for building a new ship have begun.

Women and children have also contributed significantly to their income if they harvest and process seaweed and fish from rocky areas.

The fishing village has been surrounded by the greatest enthusiasm since the village was established.

Everyone in the farm village is fully aware that agriculture takes time, patience and time, unlike fishing. Looking at the situation of the fishing villages following the guidance of the lord, they dreamed of the results of their experiments in the next harvest season and the future of increased harvests based on them.

Mitsuha, who was unable to stay in the muddy mountain village, donated several Japanese saws and axes.

As you can see, Mitsuha has arranged a large number of products purchased from Mr. Pez and Japanese products in a space several times larger than that of conventional products.

Rinse-in shampoo, disposable lighters, calorie mate, bag ramen, etc., as well as classic products familiar at the capital city stores, various discount cans, day keeping sweets, iron farm equipment, fishing gear, tools, tableware, LED lights, stationery, convenient Supplies and so on.

The favorite was a customer from a nearby territory, although it would sell to the purchasing power. To create a flow of people to the territory, not the sales of the store. Along with that, the flow of goods and the flow of money are made.

Products other than those for folks may not sell much for a while, but there is no problem because they are all intact.

"Do you know the Yamano Viscount store?"

Rumors were starting to spread on neighboring territories.

Apparently, the thunder priestess sells items from her homeland.

It seems to be cheaper because there are more items than in the Royal Capital.

If you are lucky, you can meet the princess.

There seems to be someone who was handed a product directly from Princess Miko and touched her finger!

It is a territory facing the sea. It is not surprising that the goods from the homeland carried by ship are cheaper than the royal capital and are available in large numbers. ... Should be.

The inn and restaurant have been renovated to accommodate increasingly more guests from other territories.

The inn is always open and hired employees are stationed. I made a bath.

Meshya taught Yamano cuisine at the Viscount Mansion to his son, who had been recalled from Bozes, and put it on the menu at a slightly higher price.

The territory is developing steadily little by little.

... except for Yamamura.

Mitsuha brought Shiitake mushroom fungus from Japan.

Open a lot of small holes in the log cut from the mountain, fill it with a mixture of moist sawdust and fungi, add a melted wax to a sponge, touch it with a pom pom, and seal it. It is the wisdom of the ancestors to prevent bacteria and sawdust from drying out and preventing insects from entering.

The rest is placed in a dull place without sunlight.

Shiitake mushrooms are good to bake, good to boil, and good as a base for ashi. Above all, it is better to keep it light and dry when dried.

I was going to feed the customers who came to shopping and spread them gradually to other territories. It is a specialty and exclusive sale of the Yamano Viscount.

Because bamboo shoots keep the sun ... well, why not? There are bamboo forests everywhere. Both wild potatoes and nuts ...
