Sweet Reincarnation

"Heh. So you weren't studying merchants from the beginning."

"Yes. My parents were farmers, and I was helping. I think he had about ten acres of fields."

"Oh, then maybe we're bigger. Maybe twice as many fields in our house."

"Right. The people here, I think, are probably blessed. I can have a big field, and I have work to do in the winter. I knew your lord would be amazing."

"You don't really feel it - are we blessed compared to when Mr. Decocco was plowing the fields?

"I don't know. Actually, I don't really remember when I was a farmer."

In one makeshift house, a man and a woman were talking. Decoco and Sanya.

What you're doing is checking the basics to educate Sanya's employees. Most of all, we were out of conversation, and now we're talking about each other.

Construction is currently progressing on a steep pitch, Decoco stores. Right next to it, a building was tentatively built for Decoco to wake up. It is also a temporary store.

A borough shop with few people in and out except for middle-aged women who are hired only during the day to take care of themselves.

Here, it's only since yesterday that Sanya, who received an introduction from Pais, has come in and out.

Confirm her willingness to hire for the time being and her (Sanya) hopes. Conditions, etc. that can be put out on the Decoco side have been discussed and will continue to this day after the agreement.

There were things that allowed single women to enter and leave the rooms of single men, but because of the trust Deco had cultivated so far and the fact that the eyes of middle-aged women entering and leaving also glowed, Sanya's education was conducted in temporary stores. No matter, only during the day.

Even as Decoco, I'm not going to ruin the Mortairn family's trust, or more importantly the referral from Pais, by setting up a downward look here, so I'm not going to neglect to take account of it.

"Huh? How come you don't remember?

"Because I was just a kid, I guess. We have a brother. My brother was supposed to take over the fields and the house, so he was going to leave the house eventually. So when I was ten years old, I lost my way and asked the merchants who came to the village occasionally to be polite. Train the man as a master. Leaving under the master and independently. So many things settled down in Zarsden."

"Well, your parents gave you permission to do that."

"I didn't. He snuck into the master's carriage and was crumbled and polite. Now I think of it as a good place to be impotent. I was stupid then."

Sanya was surprised by Decoco's told past.

At first glance, it was calm, and I only knew the face of a pedestrian who was always smiling, so I can't tie the image to being told that he was the right kid who popped out of the house as a boy.

Either that or the merchant's family heirloom boy for generations, Decoco says, is more convincing.

"Whoa, that went a long way. I mean, that's what I could remember when I was a little girl, so Sanya should be able to do it without a problem. Let them remember all of this first."

"What's this?

"That's a list of products you're definitely going to be dealing with from the beginning of spring. As for the products you deal with, you should remember them as clerks."

"Many!!

A list of words written on a wooden board.

It may be a variety of spring wheat, a variety name of beans, a name of livestock or a salt distinguished by region of origin. The name of the object is written in conjunction with the note of caution. It says a lot of things, and is there a hundred or so of them?

"Mr. Decoco, isn't this a lot?

"Even this saved me from constantly handling things. There are products to be handled on an ad hoc basis, products to be ordered and purchased from customers, and that's the beginning of what I wrote there."

"Ugh."

"Really. And if you're a merchant, you have to remember the rough market for each product, and you think it's a variable market factor, or how to tell good or bad a product is? If you don't remember each of those product knowledge, you will lose money."

"Merchants are tougher than I thought."

"I'm having a hard time getting the hang of it. The point is, it's a matter of getting used to. Take a good look. Because there must be quite a few familiar products."

"Oh, really."

For merchants, commodity knowledge is literally a business tool. If I want to do it as a merchant, I'll tap it into my head first. It's like a carpenter remembers how to hit a nail, which can be described as an initial step.

By learning product knowledge, networking, and refining the art of negotiation, you will increase your strength as a merchant. With that in mind, there are many parts of Decoco that are still immature as merchants.

It's not enough to study for the rest of your life, it's the merchant world they say.

As a clerk, from Sanya, who is about to take a half-step step into the other world of the merchant world, I can only tell that it is deep.

"Yeah, yeah, you're doing it ~"

A girl who tries so hard to remember the product name and a man who works looking at it.

On the basis of those two, I had a visitor. Celebrities enough to be told Mogri if you know him in Mortairn territory.

"This, Master Pastry. If there's anything I can do for you, I could just get a message from you."

"I just stopped by in the middle of a run, so never mind. Oh, and then I finally talked to Decoco."

"Well, what is it?"

"It's about purchasing livestock. The other day, I sold all my livestock to a certain house for a fair price. Therefore, I would like you to purchase livestock again at the time of spring..."

"It's business, so you can leave it to me. But if that's the case, like last time, it just doesn't seem like we should have as many."

"Yeah. If it's the spring season, when you count it, it's really just a newborn child. Different?

"That's, well, right. If you're a goat or lamb before you make a mistake, it's easy to get one. If you just tell them to count, they'll take precedence over mature individuals."

"What I want is to serve milk. Make it creamy. Make it raw milk. You can't make sweets without ingredients. I know it's hard to get seasonal patterns, but can you come up with a way to get them in a cohesive number?

"Well...... if you can spare me some time, I don't think I can even arrange it within my old buddies. I have someone I can lend you a little bit of, so if it's from there, I can figure it out."

Unlike their villager counterparts, Decoco also becomes more serious with their unafraid Pace counterparts. This was the first time Sanya had ever seen a business meeting that looked somewhat harsh.

Full of merchants, looking like merchants. Once again, Sanya is impressed by the expression that we have never shown ourselves, only a soft, serene face. You can say you're surprised by the gap.

Most importantly, the eyes of such a girl had nothing to do with the negotiators, and the story came together after a while.

"That's Decoco. Now, you can strain the value slightly, so buy about 100 more milk."

"How much is the budget?

"Let's get you four hundred lets. We'll talk to the fathers, though things can only be redeemed for creatures."

"It will be a big deal...... enough. What's the deadline?"

"Spring. By the end of the Red Last Moon"

"Until next month? It's a little tough for a while, but let's do our best."

"Yeah, please"

We shake hands with each other, if the negotiations are put together.

Decoco looked down at Pace, before long he was back from his imaginary face to his commercial smile.

When the business talks are safe, Pace goes straight back to running the routine.

"So I had to go out for a while. I hope you can buy some other products at the end of the day... Sanya, it's quick and bad, but I need someone from the store."

"Yeah?!

Decoco, who dropped off Pais, now turned to Sanya. The girl can only be confused by the sudden big job of leaving the store to her.

However, the store itself has not yet been able to do so.

"What, good enough to see how it goes until the building is finished. After... right, my apprentice will probably show his face a few times. I'll ask around Mr. Shiitz or Mr. Nicolo to keep the money."

"Roger... I wonder if I can"

"It's okay. I trust you about Sanya, and I don't think there's a shortage of abilities. I'm sure you can."

Sanya's first job is a very simple one. You can call it a store number job, but I'm simply asking you to do something like a cashier number.

A shop in progress of construction. By keeping an eye on that, it just helps to prevent slightly the deception, theft and savory delays of building materials, which would be appreciated from Decoc.

Detmar, Decoco's disciple, has also been officially assigned the merchant route. Naturally, the main Mortarn territory is bound to come to the merchants.

Purchase from him. That is, with regard to what comes to be sold on Mortaire territory, just as Decocco cannot be quoted from now on either.

I would expect them to buy salt and cloth by hand, but I don't know how much they can come by purchasing them, even if I think of them from the power of unstable disciples, and not necessarily by purchasing the product as expected in the first place. Decoco also has experience when he was young, but he may be rushed to make big money and grabbed by products he can't sell.

That's why we don't leave it up to Sanya to pay. It can't be left to the amateur.

Conversely, it may be left to Sanya for those who sell it.

In advance, we prepare the product at a non-negotiable price and sell it at a fixed price without considering any discount.

Hit it, prepare a few types of flour and decide how much per bag. When it comes to wanting a disciple, I want him to accept the price he has decided on, and then give him the goods.

This is the part I expect from Sanya as a store number. No bargaining technique is required, it would be nice to have the memory to remember the price and some arithmetic skills.

If you can add up to silver and gold accounts, you will be able to do enough, and the confirmation of that point has already been confirmed in the interview so far. As a villager, if you're a smart saña, you have absolutely nothing wrong with your abilities. Pais' introduction is definite.

Even if it is Detomar, it should not leave Mortaire territory with empty loads, etc., and if the price is somewhat cheaper, it should be happy to buy it.

"I'll get ready soon... but I'm leaving here tomorrow morning, too. If you have any problems, you should rely on the Mortairns. If they are, they know what's going on, and there's no way they're going to treat you like that."

"Okay."

Decoco, who is finished giving instructions, will be ready to leave as soon as possible.

From his “former” pedestrian point of view, the preparation of the journey is a familiar thing.

The next morning, arrangements had been made for a two-headed carriage.

The female clerk, who dropped off the shopkeeper who went out unconsciously, is quickly entrusted with the store number at the temporary store.

Even so, we still don't have guests, so we just do the homework that's left over. Remembering the names of several products and their prices and practicing computational problems are its challenges.

This is difficult to get out of the way, especially if the calculation of fishing is troublesome.

Her best friend came to visit with a smile as Sanya glistened with the wooden planks at the store that way. Clean up your work and distract yourself in your free time.

"Yahoo - Sanya. Good luck with your work?"

"Lila, what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here? I've come to see the sign girl at the Nata store."

"Chill? I'm busy right now."

"What? Wooden planks? Wow, it says a lot of things... I don't know because I can't read, but is that what you do?

"That said, I feel like I'm studying for a full job."

Sometimes Sanya and Lila are the same age, and they are close.

There is no way that rumor-loving women will not be able to devour the topic of villagers holding non-squire or peasant positions for the first time in Mortaire territory, and they listen to Lila, intrigued and Sanya.

"Heh, that's amazing. You already feel like a merchant."

"Ahhh... thanks"

Lila told her how frank she was when she saw her best friend working hard. There are many people who can't read and write, and Sanya, who can read and write, is Intelli. Elite category if you're limited in the village.

I felt like a merchant on the other end because that she seemed to be quickly entrusted with a difficult task.

But Sanya's reaction was subtle.

"What? That's a weird response."

"Uh-huh, I'm glad you complimented me. A while ago, I saw what it felt like to be a real merchant, so compare it to that."

"A real merchant?

"Damn. As far as I could see, I felt like a resident of a different world. Something tells me that it seems difficult to tell a story about someone who is awesome and smart. So does the money that moves, hundreds of gold coins. And look cool. It felt like a merchant."

"Wow, that's amazing!!

If Sanya likens the position she was placed in, did she see a scene where a senior elite merchant pulled together billions of business deals, new hires, etc.?

From Sanya, who until yesterday was merely a villager, even silver coins constitute a month's living expenses. Gold coins are big money to see once in a lifetime or not.

The feeling that dozens and hundreds of business talks were going on right in front of me at a time was quite a shock.

"I don't know... I thought it was cool"

"Well, maybe so. I kind of admire it."

"Yeah, I admire it"

The reality that I actually felt an unreal sight somewhere.

The reality is that the characters in the stories of the distant world were people they knew well.

It was a strange feeling, Sanya tells her friend with a distant eye.

Such a conversation between two girls.

They didn't realize there was a man listening in the shadows.
