Chapter 13 - Cooking App

*******

Three days have passed since then.

The fish is still selling well and reaches the target within 3 days.

It's fine if it stays that way, but if it's supplied daily, the price will drop immediately.

Now then, since the sales partners are nobles, I don't think there will be any direct price cuts.

Well, let's start a new business after a while.

I thought I would buy the app after returning to the inn, but I also need to buy the tools needed for the app, so I decided to buy it while eating at a nearby cafeteria.

During the past three days, familiars are given food that is sold in the open air.

By the way, now I call it Dochi.

It was like a small animal and was easily summoned, so it didn't have any deep meaning.

Dochi has been fishing every day and now he has grown to catch more than 40 fish every day.

It will be enough for me to sell without fishing. I immediately select the application to buy from my smartphone. Cooking everywhere I bought this time. Perhaps, as the name suggests, this is a cooking app.

If this is the case, I will be able to cover up the familiar food. The ingredients are plentiful, so if you can make money cooking, it's a good idea to open a simple restaurant.

I didn't plan on buying it until I could make a sweet like sugar that would sell for a good price. However, it took a while to get sugar, so I decided to buy it first. It's good to familiarize yourself with the app now.

Pay 20 gold coins and buy immediately.

[Cooking everywhere! Let's enjoy cooking together! Easy to cook. If you buy a recipe, all you have to do is follow the recipe. You can make them even if you don't have a recipe.]

"Yes ... it's fine, but this is empty land."

[Get workbenches and tools from other linked applications. Then do your best!]

"The sound is cute, but it's the hardest I've ever had. No items or tools to be provided, it's a serious matter. For now, I have money, and will I buy various things?"

Even if I complain, it doesn't start. Several shops are likely to be selling, so I immediately went shopping.

For now, I can buy all the necessary utensils like kitchen pans and knives right away.

I also bought some seasonings, but they are all expensive. First of all, the only seasoning is salt, but the price of salt is also quite expensive.

Usually, even in the interior, if you have rock salt, you can get enough salt, but it seems that salt is nowhere near either.

Perhaps that is the reason why each dish has a relatively mild taste. Well, I thought spices would be a bit of a trick, so let's do something about it.

As for the ingredients, I can gather various vegetables and meats that I haven't grown. So far so good, but enough of a problem from here on.

It's an equipment problem. Because the land is empty, there is no gas stove or water supply.

I didn't know what to do about this, and I walked around the various shops, but I couldn't find a good one.

I suddenly remembered thinking about giving up and waking up with a bonfire.

It's a wind magic stone that is used to pump the fish's oxygen. A gentle breeze, but maybe something like fire or water.

But I don't know where to buy it. So, when I was thinking of going to the merchant guild, I saw a shop beside it.

That shop was an upscale shop that I entered for the first time since I came here. I only bought potions back then, but there might be some that I was thinking about.

This shop hasn't been around since then due to the high prices of the goods. After trying various things for the first time in a long time, it seems like there are no customers other than me today.

I'm worried if I can do it honestly with a small number of customers. When I was trying to do things, the man I saw from behind came.

"Aren't you Rei Kuraki, this is the first time in a long time."

"It's been so long ... What? Did I say my name?"

To be honest, I last came a month ago, and I immediately left the shop, so I thought I couldn't remember my face.

And I have absolutely no recollection of telling this man his name.

"I know you. You're just a little celebrity."

"Celebrities?"

"Yes. You've done something that no one has done before, sending White Radishes and even selling live fish at unusual times. Don't you have a lot of money now?"

So there you have it. Certainly, because it comes in various ways. Isn't it strange to be famous?

My information is likely known in various places, so I will have to be a little careful in the future. Well, I just stay at the basic inn and play with my smartphone.

"Well, there it is. That's why I got something I wanted today. I was wondering if I could get it here."

It's nice to talk, but I don't have much time, so I'll tell you what I need to do.

Then I had some stocks of what I was looking for, so I asked them to take a look.

"This is what we are dealing with. There are several types of magic stone stoves, but as far as I know, these are durable and not very portable, so this is the most recommended."

That said, what was introduced was a large stove that was one size larger than the other. There were three craters each separated, so it seemed there was no problem even lined up with large pots.

"This is the newest one we've handled. First of all, it has a function to change firepower, and even if you use 3 spots at the same time with maximum firepower, it will last for 5 hours. Even if all the power is up. magic is consumed. It is designed to fully recover in 1 hour. To further increase its endurance, if you put magic stones here, you can reuse them immediately. "

When used as a test run, the maximum firepower can be increased by several tens of centimeters, and the minimum firepower can be decreased slightly.

This is pretty good. This one will save you a lot of cooking time.

"By the way, it costs 50 gold coins."

"Yes? This is what you said ..."

"Because it's our newest product. It's still cheap. Lots of royals buy it, and we sell dozens a month."

I understand.

Are you in business with aristocrats?

In that case, it would be good business even if there weren't that many people.

Are you making over 1000 gold coins a month just because you can sell dozens of units?

Surprisingly, this person was male.

"As expected, I don't have enough coins right now ... I wonder if I should try something else."

"If so, you can pay in installments. It is trusted by many nobles, and it seems that you earn enough. You will only earn a small amount of interest."

"No ... but ... hmm ..."

I thought I was in debt, but it's probably better to buy a good one now and use it for a long time than to buy a bad one here and buy a new one.

Well, that's not a good thing.

After that, as a result of continuing to purchase various magic tools such as a magic tool that produced water, a magic tool for lighting, a magic tool that sent out wind, potions, and knives, I ended up owing 200 gold coins.

I felt like I was doing something good, but it must be worth it.

If you have one cut knife, that's enough for 10!

"Thank you very much for your purchase. The repayment deadline is until the end of next month, so if you don't mind this contract, you'll have to pay more interest."

"Please wait a moment. I want to read it for now ... Looks like it's okay."

Say it and sign it.

This is a pretty expensive purchase, but hopefully, it will pay off later this month. I could have extended the payment deadline more, but if I extended it, the interest would increase when I extended it, so I asked for the amount with the least amount of interest in the short term.

"Thank you. With this, the contract with Mr. Rei has been completed without a problem. Thank you for your ongoing support."

"Thank you ..."

"This is disrespectful. My name is Sardo Simbal, the head of this company, the Cymbals Company."

By the way, I heard it a few times when I went to the merchant guild for delivery.

The company is one of the five largest in the city with only two generations of parents and children. It has many branches in other cities. It is said that it is quite influential, and even nobles cannot compete strongly.

I never knew it was a big game. Besides, there is no signboard in this shop.

No, people who know it even if they don't.
