1 month after the first community eting.
The store and workshop were built.
Its a single story store for safety. Since the villagers who built it are mostly amateurs, and I couldnt get any experts from the capital.
There is plenty of vacant land in the region so theres no problem with space.
The talworker, Randy bought the minimum amount of equipnt from the capital so he was able to quickly set up a furnace and all his equipnt. Although there is still a lot of equipnt missing, he has placed an order to have them delivered.
Or they were supposed to be, however since the heavy and bulky cargo will take a lot of ti and effect to move, Mitsuha planned to take over as the middleman and is going to move it secretly by teleportation.
Randy-san, I brought so materials but its things like this
Randy was surprised that Mitsuha suddenly ca carrying heavy cargo.
Its natural. Who would think that the lord herself would co to the workshop alone carrying a bundle of heavy tal?
He owns a great debt of gratitude towards the Viscount for finding him because he was reaching the end of his rope from having no inco. Furthermore, its the Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder who is the savior of this country. No matter how much Randys said to be bad at socializing, he still has common sense so he sprang into a mad rush.
Ill, Ill l hold it! I will hold it okay!
He forcefully took her package in a hurry.
Heavy.
These, they are tal materials from my ho country, please tell if you have any problems. There are a lot of them; so hard, and so soft
She says and when she opens the package there were various tal ingots inside. Each wasnt very big, are these samples? Sothing like a code is attached on each for identification.
Randy took out a few and took a closer look.
Hes keeping the lord Mitsuha standing while she waits, but Randy wasnt in the condition to be able to notice.
Eh
Odd.
What is this?
The ingots resemble each other, but every single one is slightly different. After striking them, it seed each of their hardness were different. And, theyre pretty hard.
And, this strangely light tal mixed with them. Is this really tal? No wait, lets examine it a bit more first
Apparently, it was pointless to wait so Mitsuha left Randy as he is. She had sothing she wanted him to make, but she decided to co back later for now.
It was still a while later until Randy had realized and turned blue.
The salt field is still under construction. Since its a flow down(Ryouka) type using branching racks, its not very influenced by the seasons and weather, requires less labor, and take up less space than the other types, all good things.
With this, rock salt being transported from a distance will invade the heart of the salt distribution industry and then all sorts of things might happen, so its only planned to be used within the territory and for the manufacturing of salted products for the ti being.
The economic impact will be great even from having the ability to make a lot of salted products. Given that the economic influence of this territory was originally very little.
The school is already in operation.
The population was small in the first place so there arent many children. As a result, the location theyre using is a room in the Viscount residence. That location is convenient for both teaching and preparing lunch.
Also, for the servants too, not just children like Colette but also so adult applicants will receive the lessons, so using the Viscount residence was convenient for them as well.
It seems that the servants felt not able to read and write was embarrassing, everyone is plenty motivated.
The teachers were the people who can read with nothing to do at the ti, like Miriam, Rachel, and Mitsuha. Mitsuhas monetary lecture, nasty thods for crushing ones enemies, and lessons using the science experint kit bought at Tokyu Hands(departnt store chain) in particular were very popular, to the point that Anton the butler was the beginning to co and listen. So of the classes werent suitable for children, but Mitsuha didnt care about such details.
Far from dislike going to school, being able to have fun playing with other children of the sa age while having the opportunity to learn what feels clearly useful in the future, and having their hearts stolen by the delicious lunches they get to eat until theyre full, the children started saying that once every 2 days is too few.
And the store.
It has a sales floor several tis larger than that of the capitals store, and the things that existed in the past store were all present, as in, daily necessities like the groceries: wild plants and at from animals caught in the territory, marine products, vegetables and grains, fabrics, the tal parts of farm tools and other things. Furthermore, buying fish now uses the purchasing system.
Yes, until now, because fishes quickly go bad, so that the store can avoid the risk of suffering a complete loss if fishes arent sold, the supply fee is only paid if the fish is sold and the unsold fish would be returned.
Otherwise, only a very small amount can be stocked for fear of risk, so the store wasnt particularly unfair. The fishern can put out as many products as they want, so because of the commission system, they could sell a lot if they get lucky. On the other hand, theyll earn less if its not sold, and have to bring the fishes on the verge of expiring back and eat it with everyone in the fishing village.
Even when evening cos, they absolutely couldnt lower the price of the unsold ones. No one would buy fish until evening from the next day onwards if they start selling at a discount during the evening.
However, the new store uses a complete purchase system.
So now the store is free to decide whether they want to discount or start a bargain sale.
And they also sell processed, that is, boiled or baked, cooked ones. With the value-added, it raises the profit margin. It appeals to the people who find preparing fish to be troubleso. Also, their expiration date extends when you process them and the barely fresh products are reborn into new products.
(Google dictionary: value added: the amount by which the value of an article is increased at each stage of its production, exclusive of initial costs.)
Furthermore, the raw fish that didnt sell will be dealt with at the sa ti as they close and processed into salted and dried fish.
With this, we have realized the complete purchase of fish.
The fishern were motivated, now knowing that theyll definitely earn inco for each catch.
In addition, there were fishing nets and fishing tackle made in Japan lined up in the store. Their might has already been demonstrated directly by the lord.
By the way, Mitsuha went to a small fishing village in Japan and was taught how to throw a cast net by an elderly person with free ti and she couldnt escape the elderly people that started crowding around her finding it interesting, so she had continued with the special training until she got muscle pain.
The place used to dry shellfish and seaweed was also renovated. In addition to kelp and waka, they started collecting and processing a sea lettuce called Hitoegusa and other seaweed like things. In addition, the preparations for the construction of a new ship has begun.
Won and children will also be able to greatly contribute to their family inco by collecting and processing seaweed and angle fishing on the rocky areas.
The fishing village was enveloped by the greatest frenzy the village ever had since it was ford.
Everyone in farm villages are fully aware that unlike fishery, agriculture demands ti, effort and perseverance. And, after seeing the situation in the fishing village under the guidance of the lord, they started dreaming of a future where their harvests will increase using the results of their experint at the next harvest period and were burning with hope.
And, seeing the situation of the gloomy mountain villages, Mitsuha couldnt stay still and donated a bunch of Japanese saws and axes.
(tl note: The topic jumps back to the store)
Like this, all the standard goods were inherited, and furthermore, Mitsuha had stocked a large number of items purchased from Pez-san and Japan in the space thats several tis her old store.
In addition to standard goods that are normal to the capitals store like two-in-one shampoo, disposable lighters, CalorieMate, bag ran, and so on; there are also various useful things such as discount canned foods, sweets with long expiration dates, iron farm equipnt, fishing tackles, tools, tableware, LED flashlights, stationery, and so on.
It would be possible to sell them to the territorys people because their purchasing power increased, but the real targets are custors from the neighboring territories. The goal is not increasing the stores sales but creating a flow of people towards the territory. And also the flow of goods and money thatll be created as a result
Most of the goods for people other than the locals may not be sold for a while, but since they are only things that wont hurt much if not sold, theres no problem.
Do you know about the store in the Yamano Viscounty?
Rumors gradually began to spread in the neighboring territories.
It seems that the Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder is selling things delivered from her ho country.
It seems that they have more items than the stores in the capital and are cheaper too.
It seems you might et the Princess Shrine Maiden if you are lucky.
It seems that so people who were handed over products directly from the Princess Shrine Maiden, w, were able to touch her fingers!
Its a territory facing the sea. They are goods from another country was carried over by a ship and are cheaper than whats in the capital, so its not strange that a lot of this stuff is on the market. maybe.
The inn and the eatery were also renovated to accommodate the gradually increasing number of custors from other territories.
The inn is open all the ti and always has an employee present. A bath was also made.
The son of the eatery who was recalled from Boses Earldom was taught to make Yamano Food at the Viscount residence, which got put on their nu at a slightly higher price.
Little by little, the developnt of the territory is going smoothly.
Except for mountain villages.
Unable to avoid it, Mitsuha brought the Shiitake mushroom fungus from Japan.
Put a lot of small holes in so logs cut from the mountain, fill them in with a moist mixture of sawdust and fungus, and seal each of the openings with sponges and lted wax. () This is the wisdom of the predecessors for preventing the fungi and sawdust from drying and to prevent insects from entering.
After that, do not let sunlight make contact and place in a damp place.
Shiitake mushrooms are good for baking, good for boiling, good for making soup stock, its a very useful one. More than anything, that you can lightly sanitize it by drying it is good.
The plan is to have the custors who ca to shop eat them, and gradually spread them to other territories. As a Yamano Viscounty specialty and exclusive product.
Bamboo shoots can also be sanitized wait, is that no good? There should be bamboo groves in every territory. () Wild yams too, fruit trees too
As expected, is there nothing but making charcoal and iron? Lets start collecting sand iron. Wait, do you need a magnet? Should I prepare a powerful neodymium magnet? Lets test whether its pitch as the worlds strongest permanent magnet is true!
Whether to search for a sedint drift sand deposits on a coast or river bank; or to search for residual deposits of iron sand on the mountain, what to do
Could this be a way for young children to earn pocket money? No, even if its the amount that could be earned by young children, itll still beco an important source of inco for sustaining the familys finances. The villagers lives are not so easy yet. The benefits of reducing taxes will appear after next harvest period cos.
For now, lets prepare a magnet and lend it out.
