Chapter 75
聽
I am Benno.
聽
The owner of Gilberta Company. 29 years old, single.
聽
At the end of the meeting, where all the owners of large stores that can pay more than a certain amount of tax even among those who set up shops in the city, Kujijiji, the guild chief, looked at the faces of all attendees I opened my mouth.
聽
“Is the agenda over?” Is holding a tasting party for sweets that are scheduled to be sold in a large conference room. Stop by if you have time. I was saying it. 鈥?/p>
聽
I stood up to the words of ugly words and aimed at a large conference room.
聽
Only large shop owners are attending this meeting. It can be said that there are a lot of merchants who have enough money to buy expensive sweets and have eyes to see the goods.
聽
Even if a tasting party is held at the guild chief’s house or store, I don’t know if I’ll bother to go there, but if I move around the room after the meeting, I’ll extend my legs. The setting of the schedule and the venue is so good that it gets angry. There is no doubt that it will be noticed.
聽
A sweet calf curl made by Mine using information.
聽
In addition, a tasting party in which Mine’s words leaked and motivated grandfathers.
聽
Really, that Abu is going from one to the next! Bring something that will shake the market!鐒?銇?Don’t think of it, without knowing the hard work of making this so that Mine doesn’t get much attention!
聽
Since I want to monopolize what is the main product of my store, until now I have never been informed of pre-sale products like this.
聽
Disseminating the pre-sale product can give an impression of who the first creator was. Anything that cannot be imitated immediately by others is effective.
聽
To be angry, not much sugar is still in circulation. In this town, only guild managers are handling sugar flowing from the center. It will be a strong appeal to the aristocratic class looking for sweetness in the midst of the central trend.
聽
And by holding this tasting party, not only the guild length but also the skill of the granddaughter must be noticed. That granddaughter’s sense of smell about gold is a serious transfer.
聽
“Welcome to the tasting party of Kathalkar. Choose your favorite Kathalkar and put this wooden bill in the box.”
聽
When I entered the large conference room, there were several boys and girls who covered their heads with the same cloth, and handed three small wooden bills to the visitors.
聽
“You can put three in your favorite or you can choose three”
聽
I look around the room, holding the handed wooden bill in my palm. The person walking around in the conference room puts the same cloth on his head, so he was able to quickly identify the host person.
聽
There are still few customers, they seem to be exploring each other, and no one has reached out to Kathkarr.
聽
“Is this a cattle curl?”
聽
There are 5 rows of desks, and you can see different types of cattle curls in each row. Although it was a cuttle-sized cartle curl, there were many types unlike my expectation.
聽
“Oh, Benno-san!”
聽
“My husband”
聽
鈥楲utz is the apprentice of the main evil Mine and Uchi. Lutz wears his apprenticeship, while Mine looks the same as the person holding the tasting party.
聽
Oh, I raised my hand lightly and invited them to grab the head of Mine who came.
聽
“Mine, what are you doing here?”
聽
“Wow! Help me?”
聽
Do you understand this look? , And peel off the cloth covering the head of Mine with his head tilted.
聽
“Change your clothes now. Don’t impress your merchants in the future. I think you’re hiding your presence for making paper and hair ornaments. 鈥淲ould you like to stand up at this store? Will you advertise it flashy?鈥?
聽
“That’s right … I’ll get dressed soon. Lutz, stay here.”
聽
When I return the stripped cloth, Mine quickly leaves the conference hall. I looked at it and I exhaled lightly.
聽
Mine has an unusually fast turn of the head that makes me feel like a child who has just finished the baptismal ceremony. There is knowledge that you would not normally know.
聽
However, the surroundings are not visible and my thoughts are shallow. It may be natural for children, but because of the prominence of others, shallowness and lack of sense of crisis stand out.
聽
Mine should be as inconspicuous as possible. Even if a child without a backlash stands out, it won’t be a cunning result. Even when his father died and he just took over the shop, he was beaten by a young person and had a lot of bitter feelings, so only the child who just finished the baptismal ceremony was eaten.
聽
“My husband … isn’t strict with Mine”
聽
“Lutz, remember if you’re willing to protect Mine. Mine, who doesn’t have a merchant’s backing and has no fixed nobility to guard in the temple, is dangling and very dangerous.” [19459002 ]
聽
Whether you think about prolonging your life or your future connection with a noble family, it 鈥檚 better for you to enter the temple at the moment. However, it is a headache that I do not think the same situation will continue in the coming years.
聽
“Eh? But my husband is a guardian …?”
聽
“I’m superficially responsible for Mine Kobo, but I’m treated as a guardian, but the relationship is thin. At least, if I could follow the same apprenticeship, I could do more However, as I have already decided to enter the temple, the reach of my hands is not so wide, and unlike before, your eyes will be harder to reach. 19459002]
聽
“Well, that’s right.”
聽
“I don’t even know what I’m thinking about it, and if I take my eyes off, I’ll suddenly do something strange. It’s just fine to manage strictly”
聽
“Oh, that’s for sure”
聽
Lutz whispered with a mysterious face. The gesture is similar to Marc, and a small laugh comes out.
聽
Lutz, who finished the baptismal ceremony, started to change his apprenticeship, and his language began to change rapidly, and his attitude and gestures resemble Marc. The reason is that Mine said that he should use Marc as an example.
聽
Unlike merchants’ children, Lutz, who has a difference in all aspects of life, is often lacking as a merchant. Lutz is always desperate to fill the gap with other apprentices. If you stare at Marc and me, you can see that he is trying to steal as much as possible.
聽
I like the strength of Lutz’s aspirations.
聽
“Lutz, what do you think of this cattle curl? As a product”
聽
“… I think it will definitely sell to aristocrats. Maybe very welcomed.”
聽
“What’s the basis? You don’t know what the nobility likes or what you usually eat?”
聽
“I rushed in and asked the question, but Lutz did not seem particularly worried and gave the answer.
聽
“Well, I heard from Mine that the guild chief had taken the aristocrats as much of his life as possible for Frida, who would enter the noble town. It seems that if Frida and the chef try to sell with confidence, they will sell. 鈥?/p>
聽
“Don, yeah”
聽
I didn’t know much about the guild’s house. I knew that the chief guild was spending money on the house, but I didn’t know that he used as much aristocracy as possible in his life. Keep an eye out for unexpected information. It seems that the information that comes from the connection between children cannot be heard.
聽
“Now, Lutz”
聽
“Oh, Mine”
聽
Mine who has changed into his apprenticeship is back. Now it would be no wonder that I took Mine and Lutz.
聽
“My husband, this is a cuttle curl with nothing in it. This was the first time I ate it.”
聽
Lutz pointed to the rightmost cuttle curl and said so. Lutz looks at Kathlekar, carved with hopeful eyes, still remembering the taste he had eaten before.
聽
“Ilze-san is a research enthusiast, so it’s much more delicious than that time. This table is made of ferriscine. The table is filled with honey and there is walnuts over there. The latest tea leaves over there. Please try it! “
聽
Mine, who explained her breasts as if it were her own handle, was somewhat uninteresting.
聽
“Isn’t this the result of you losing tatters?”
聽
“Uh … Well, it’s not in vain because it’s in exchange for sugar.”
聽
Apparently he was getting his own sugar in exchange for information. I’m worried whether I should give up when I become a merchant, or give me a fist if I don’t pass advantageous information over there.
聽
“The only thing I taught was this Felisine and tea leaves. That’s because I’ve studied all the distribution, so it’s not just me.” [ 19459002]
聽
Punto Mine turns away from me. Then, I reached out to Kattlekar on the table.
聽
“Please eat Benno-san, it’s delicious”
聽
Lutz reaches out on the table as he sees Mine in his mouth. There is no doubt that it is delicious because there are surprises around it. I also put a cattle curl in my mouth.
聽
What is this! ?
聽
I knew it from the time I picked it with my fingers, but it was soft and soft enough to melt in my mouth. It looked like bread, but bread is not so soft. The basic idea is to eat it with soup.
聽
And, I am amazed at the sweetness I have never eaten. Although it is sweet and has a strong taste, it does not have the condensed sweetness of eating honey pickles, but the gentle sweetness that is completely different from the sweetness of eating fruits spreads throughout the mouth. The scent of sweetness and butter also stimulated appetite and made me want to eat more.
聽
“Is it delicious?”
聽
Mine looks up with golden eyes shining to expect compliments. I stumbled on what it was to give up obediently, ignoring Mine, and I reached out to Kathlekar with Felizine.
聽
The fragrance of Felizine spread in the mouth while maintaining the softness. It has a refreshing sweetness and is easy to eat. The impression changes a lot with just a little scent and taste. I looked up and looked at Kattlekar, which was lined up on another desk.
聽
“Ilze, aren’t you great?”
聽
When I moved around the table, avoiding Mine who praised the other chefs, I put a cattle curl mixed with honey in my mouth.
聽
Unlike Cattle curls so far, the dough feels a little heavier and the sweetness increases. The sweetness you get used to is the strongest sweetness you’ve ever eaten, so it’s the best choice for children and those that focus on sweetness.
聽
“It’s sweet, but isn’t it too much?”
聽
Next is walnuts. It looks like bread with walnuts and was the most familiar appearance. However, the texture is completely different from the bread I usually eat. The dough was too soft and the hardness of the walnuts was felt. The soft dough immediately disappears from the mouth, leaving only walnuts in the mouth. If you get used to it, this crunch may be good, but I don’t like it very much.
聽
“Hey, Benno, please answer me”
聽
“Shut up. Noisy”
聽
Scrolling around my side, heading to the last desk when Peepy Mine is silent.
聽
韬婅簢 I boiled for a moment in the presence of tea leaves, but when I put it in my mouth it was very fragrant. Unlike walnuts, the leaves inside are completely ground, and you don’t mind the taste at all. Sure, it tastes like tea, but it is a sweet candy and it looks strange. It is delicious but not sweet. I thought that the most male of all would be. At least I liked it the most.
聽
“Which Benno-san should put in the wooden bill?”
聽
All of the Kattlekars listed here were so tasty. This will definitely spread to the noble class. It’s a taste everyone wants. There is a difference from the past sweets so much that you can not follow.
聽
“Hey, Mine”
聽
“What?”
聽
“Why did you give this recipe to the guild leader?”
聽
A recipe that would be a great weapon to cut into the aristocracy. I wanted
聽
When he rubs Mine, Mine tilts his head with his eyes blinking.
聽
“It was Mr. Irze who gave me …”
聽
“If sold at that damn old shop, we are together”
聽
That shit at Kattlekar must also strengthen the influence on the nobility. Mine, who seemed to notice my irritation, broke her eyebrows.
聽
“Benno-san is not very good at the guild leader, why?”
聽
Speaking of which, I thought that I had never spoke to Mine, but the past was unpleasant to recall, and it touches my head.
聽
“The growing shop of my house has always been the enemy of my eyes, but that damn, I tried to absorb the shop with my mother as soon as my father died.”
聽
The father who went to the uncle’s shop for business died after being attacked by a thief for gold. Because it was a crime near the city, only the body returned, but in a miserable state full of wounds, my mother slept for a while.
聽
It’s that timid that I was happy to bring my mother to such a heartbreak.
聽
“Hey? Is that a guild head after?”
聽
“Oh, if my mother refuses, each one has been trying to harass a little harassment … this is still going on. Will it happen?]
聽
“Oh …”
聽
Mine and Lutz, who have been wrapping around several times, frowned. It 鈥檚 not just me, it 鈥檚 a mess around me.
聽
“Your attitude is good for those who are trying to reach their daughters with a full smile immediately after their lover’s death, or trying to address older sons than me to their pre-adult sisters.” Can it be done? 鈥?/p>
聽
Talking about business, there were a lot of unreasonable challenges, but it doesn’t make sense to boast such hard work against Mine. All you have to do is tell them that you are funny as a person.
聽
“… Well, depending on how you see it, you know that the Gilberta Shokai is highly valued? I can’t deny that the guild length is ugly, sticky and cumbersome.”
聽
Although it is a difficult way to escape, Mine seems to know that the guild length is somewhat troublesome.
聽
“Why did you give the recipe to such a nasty guild leader?”
聽
“Why are you saying … as I said before, I just made it together with Frida because I had a promise to make sweets.”
聽
“But did you sign a contract?”
聽
“Is it an exclusive contract for only one year? Is it so much that it’s so eye-catching?”
聽
I think it was quite a good idea for Mine to set the period, but I’m worried that it will be really protected. If the granddaughter squeezes and sneaks, the monopoly will continue.
聽
“… will it be released in a year?”
聽
“Yes. Sweets are not monopoly, I want people to make them.”
聽
Mine says he sold the recipe with a year-long monopoly, but as long as he doesn’t have the sugar, he will be monopolized at the guildmaster for a while.
聽
I don’t want to make a difference any more, but I feel the difference will widen again.
聽
“Now, Mine. You said you know other recipes? Are you willing to sell other things to us?”
聽
“… It doesn’t make sense to sell it to Mr. Benno right now? Mr. Benno doesn’t have enough sugar and chefs”
聽
Mine tilted his head with a confused face.
聽
“What do you mean?”
聽
“The recipes for candy I know mostly use sugar. And the most important thing is a good cook. You have to have enough skills to work in a noble house. “I can’t reproduce it right away when I taught the recipe.”
聽
“Aristocratic palace …?”
聽
“It’s a prerequisite that the oven can be used freely. There seems to be no oven other than the bakery, and isn’t it popular?”
聽
seldom has a house with an oven. If you’re not rich and esophageal, you don’t need that. In other words, the guild chief’s house has an oven and there are cooks who can use it freely.
聽
“Oh, before Mr. Benno puts everything together, I will buy all of the recipes for Mine. Our chefs have no eyes on new recipes.”
聽
Looking back at the young voice laughing with couscous, there was a granddaughter of the guild head who tied hair like a spring flower on both ears.
聽
“Good evening, Benno-san. Good evening, Lutz”
聽
The challenging eyes that look up at me look exactly like that. I thought that if the old man disappeared, he would win a little, but this granddaughter couldn’t speak. As I approach Mine with this hand, my sense of smell about gold is almost the same.
聽
Even though this is a subject to watch out for, Mine shook her hand lightly with a smile. I feel a sense of impatience in a good-looking situation.
聽
“Frida. How about a tasting party?”
聽
“That’s a great success thanks to Mine. Everyone will give up Kattlekar. They say they will release the recipes a year later, so many people are looking forward to the recipes.” 19459002]
聽
鈥楾his idiot!
聽
Mine has been deceived by me over and over, but it can be done only by expanding his cheeks unsatisfactory. I’m not so cautious that I’m worried about what I’m trying to see, and what kind of reaction it will do. Mine must have dropped some vigilance somewhere.
聽
Still, when viewed from the side, I can’t take care of an unfamiliar action that disturbs a girl about the same age talking happily with friends. There is no choice but to keep the grudges together with Lutz as long as you can hear the conversation so that you don’t get angry.
聽
“Now, Lutz. Why can’t he be fooled in a life-threatening situation and still dating with a smile?”
聽
“… I can’t understand Mine’s thinking. And I don’t like Frida very much.”
聽
Lutz’s face clearly says, 鈥淒o not get close to Mine鈥? It is a subtle question whether monopoly greed in the green eyes is for the most important friend or has already reached a romantic feeling.
聽
Still, looking at Lutz, which is overprotective against Mine, feels a bit ugly like tickling, remembering the sweet and sour feelings that have been put with the lover’s death many years ago.
聽
“Lutz seems to have a hard time in the future.”
聽
“Hey?”
聽
“It’s not easy to keep Mine”
聽
Rotating his head with a stroke and cheering Lutz with such words, Lutz sparkled with a strong light in his green eyes and slowly sang.
聽
“Mine, how is the taste?”
聽
While saying so, a very friendly woman came close to Mine and her granddaughter. It has a sweet scent from the whole body, and has a cloth attached to the tasting party.
聽
Who is it? 鈥淓ven though I and Lutz were wary, Mine rushed away, smashing her face.
聽
“Of course, it’s really delicious. I ate a while ago, but the tea curl curls were really delicious. As expected, Ilze”
聽
“That’s right”
聽
praised by Mine, this woman who is out of luck appears to be the chef who works at the guild chief’s house and made the Kathlekar.
聽
Investigators who looked at the chef Irze who would generate enormous amounts of money as a merchant also looked at me.
聽
“Is that Benno-san?”
聽
“Oh, is that so?”
聽
I don’t know what it means to call out by the chef who is the guild leader. Was Mine doing something again? Ilze looks at me from the top to the bottom as I draw my eyebrows.
聽
“…… Fun”
聽
The eyes that identify the opponent seemed to be similar to the guild length, so I narrowed my eyes unintentionally. I thought that I couldn’t grow up seriously with my granddaughter, and I saved it unconsciously, but if my partner is an adult, I wouldn’t want to refrain.
聽
“What do you dominate and dominate Mine’s knowledge?”
聽
“Wow, aren’t there any other monopolies? Actually, there is a recipe for Cattle Curl?”
聽
I want to monopolize anything that can be done, but Mine doesn’t let me monopolize quietly. It is said that it is tied up, but since the market is turned upside down with information that has been spilled, the knowledge of Mine is just a small amount.
聽
“Isn’t it usually that you take all the troubles about Mine, but you only scratch the delicious part?”
聽
Collecting information from various places to protect Mine himself, using contract magic to strengthen the connection with Lutz, establishing the Plant Paper Association to hide Mine’s existence, etc. But there are many things going on behind the scenes. It’s me, not the guild leader, who is struggling with unthinking Mine.
聽
“Benno-san thinks you’re pretty crazy.”
聽
I played the forehead of Mine, who has sharpened mud and lips, with a finger.
聽
“The gold I ripped from Maine with Rinshan flew in two contracts?”
聽
“Huh?”
聽
“… Do you have contract magic twice?”
聽
Mine and granddaughter open their mouths and look up at me with the same expression. I looked down at the gap and gave up my shoulder.
聽
“I don’t even know people’s hardships …”
聽
“You don’t have to worry about it, because Mine told you that you only give the recipe to someone who you think you can reproduce. I’ll get you a recipe for cooking aside from anything else.” 19459002]
聽
The war was declared to the cook. Apparently, it seems that there is a conflict between I and all those concerned.
聽
“Who will deliver”
聽
How long will Kathalkar be made monopolized by the guild leader? I will get sugar and look for good cooks within a year when my exclusive contract expires. If you follow the relatives that are a bit estranged with regards to sugar, it should be a little ridiculous.
聽
Calculating fast in my head, I was rubbing with Irze, and Mine pulled my sleeve a bit with an uneasy face.
聽
“Mr. Benno, Mr. Benno. Isn’t it very difficult to find a chef? It would be impossible without a mentor who could ask a nobleman.”
聽
“You don’t need an evangelist. What do you need to do with ambition and oven handling?”
聽
You need enough skills to work in the aristocratic hall, and you only need to get used to handling the oven. You don’t have to work in a noble house.
聽
“Mine, did you say that if you don’t have a book, you can make it yourself? If it doesn’t have a chef?”
聽
“… I shouldn’t raise it myself”
“That’s right”
Equipped with facilities, look for skilled cooks in this city, and train chefs specializing only in sweets.
“… Let’s do it”
聽
