How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 20. Cooking is chemistry (4) However, the only regret is the price.

A bottle of carbonated ade cost 1 gold.

I muttered, “What a crazy profiteer...” but after thinking about it for a while, I came to terms with it.

Well, there are no factories for mass production, and preservation is done by magic, but the transportation route is the most common overland route using a wagon.

There is not a lot of quantity there, so the brand will naturally push the line to high-end.

Of course, if I unravel the recipe, it might get cheaper, but it's still time for me to benefit.

I have no intention of revealing the recipe right now.

You should think about it after earning at least as much as you earn.

Thanks to that, I've benefited quite a bit, and recently the king is smiling every time he sees me with the corner of his mouth hanging over his ear.

Wouldn't it be great if your finances have been plentiful in recent years?

My father is already taking great care of me. Lately, if I want anything, he loves me to the point of immediately supporting me.

So, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm really worried about my sister.

I tried claiming that.

“You don’t exercise too much, though. Then you get sick!”

I have nothing to comment on that point.

my work?

I wake up in the morning, have breakfast, and sneak into my office to take a nap.

If you're hungry, eat a snack. I eat and sleep again.....

Repeat infinitely until the sun goes down.

And after a day's work, I go to bed again.

It can't be a very rewarding day.

....Well, I really have nothing to say.

I wonder if pandas are more diligent than me.

For some reason, it seems like she knows how I look in Kania noona’s eyes without asking.

The reason I was dragged out in the first place is not different.

As I was shutting myself in my office without going out, Kania, who was worse off, forced me out.

And, as if he wanted to somehow train me in swordsmanship, he kept pushing his wooden sword.

“...I'm not good at swordsmanship, am I?”

For now, I pushed back the wooden sword and tried to decline.

Haven't you heard the anecdote that all the knights, including Ranfil, gave up after trying to teach me?

“are you okay!”

However, Kania noona smiled broadly and opened her chest, knowing what kind of confidence she had.

“I will teach you!”

“What is that expression? Anyway, I'll teach you!”

It seems that he wants to teach me even if he is forced to.

Looking at his face, I can see his desire to teach me the joy of learning the sword even forcibly.

There must be someone like that.

A person who recommends to others that he likes sports.

I might have to be careful not to let my sister fall into mountain climbing in the future.

By the way... Uh... It's annoying. However, as a younger brother who listens well, I was meekly dragged by my older sister's hand and grabbed a wooden sword.

“Oh really? If you hold it like that, it will slip.”

When I deliberately clumsy, he takes my hand and fixes the wooden sword.

“Now like this? Try swinging it.”

Swing your arms slowly, pretending to swing a sword.

do you want to follow

I did as I was told.

Currently, I deliberately set restrictions on my body to limit my ability to exercise, so the wooden sword I wield draws a trajectory like an earthworm crawling without being aware of it.

“Not that! like this! Like this?”

Shaking her head as if my movements were frustrating, Kania noona demonstrates again and again, but my movements are still sluggish.

My powerless movement is also a problem, but Kania-nee is also quite clumsy at teaching.

There is also a point of being young. Isn't it clumsy because he's the type that instinctively understands the sword?

In the end, I thought he was starting to grumble as if he was contemplating how to teach.

“ah! I can do this!”

Doesn't it suddenly come back behind my back as if something good is better?

I almost flinched reflexively when I was caught, but I couldn't move.

“Stay still!”

It was because Kania-noona suddenly hugged me from behind.

Then he stretches out his arm and grabs the back of my hand as if he were overlapping it.

....huh?

Once you ask for confirmation.

“....What are you doing?”

“Since Arel has a bad posture, I wondered if it would be okay if I grabbed him and moved him like this.”

It must have been that he was quite dissatisfied with my movements, so he decided to control me himself after all.

Since there is quite a difference in height between us, I was caught with the feeling that I fit into my arms as it is.

Escape is impossible.

“Ego? like this!”

Then, half forced, he began to move.

He was swung around without much resistance because he couldn't withstand Kania's older sister's power with his limited physical abilities.

Are you being swayed? Get swung around!

I felt like a doll of some sort.

No, I feel like I'm dancing some kind of grotesque dance.

....Will this help?

In the first place, swordsmanship is learned through effort, right? I had the same question, but didn't say anything.

..... Mmm.

It's a secret, but surprisingly it wasn't unpleasant.

What should I say?

On a moderately warm day, it is tightly attached, so the appropriate warmth feels strangely good.

The back of the head is a little soft there.

As an analogy, it feels like a slightly firm pillow on top of a stone bed.

Of course, this feeling cannot be expressed.

huh? fall asleep.

“There’s no point in sleeping, right?!”

In the end, I fell asleep halfway without knowing it, and I was scolded.

“...Arel really can't wield a sword...

No, he's lacking a lot.”

After trying to force me to practice, releasing me from her arms as if she couldn't do it anymore, Kania noona muttered inadvertently before covering her mouth with her hand.

just say no

“If I don’t exercise like that, will I gain weight?”

This time, with a terrible warning, Sister Kania grabbed my waist with her hand.

Then her hands wriggled in search of my stomach.

“Wait a minute?! It tickles me!”

“Look, I’m so hungry… Huh?”

Suddenly, the eyes of my older sister, who was unintentionally checking my belly fat, felt as if she was seeing something pitiful for some reason.

“...It's dry.”

It seemed that she misunderstood that she was thin because she had no belly fat and only felt a strangely firm texture.

“He might be thinner than me...

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Are you eating rice?

The worried eyes are glistening.

I'm not skinny, but my stomach is toned.

Thanks to Honwon Changsei Qigong, not only internal energy but also my body are automatically trained.

They say you don't gain weight even if you don't exercise!

In addition, there is no need for hard training, so it has nothing to do with muscle pain.

I have achieved the level that people who are desperate for a diet have dreamed of!

On top of that, purely based on my current experience, I have reached the level of Auror Prevention.

This is a level that belongs to a first-class article.

At just 10 years old, my inner strength and trained body are that much.

On top of that, all kinds of secrets, such as experiences accumulated during my previous life and various swordsmanship and martial arts, are clearly engraved in my soul.

If purely based on martial arts skills and knowledge, even the great legendary Grand Master would not be comparable to me.

Who can compete with experience against a human who has repeated his previous life a hundred times?

never be alone

Because it's true.

In the meantime, I've actually experienced it.

Why are you so proud of yourself?

“Should I gain weight first rather than exercise?”

An ominous murmur was heard.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to get fat and eat it?

This time, I had to desperately stop Kania's older sister from starting to worry.

? ? ?

oh! In the meantime, a year passed.

I don't notice the time passing as we play and eat.

Well, I didn't always just play.

Especially in the last few days, I'm really hungry for sugar because I've had to do some brain work because of ‘work'.

It was because I felt that the products I developed with the alchemists were slowly starting to get back on track.

So, I started preparing for the past few days, and I immediately ran to my mother and told her what I had prepared.

After hearing what I have to say, my mother tilts her head and asks again.

It seems that I don't quite understand.

“…Arell, are you saying that we will directly sell the product you developed?”

“yes.”

“Mom… I don’t know much about business, but can I do that?”

Ah, I think I misunderstood the explanation.

Shaking his head, he began to explain again slowly.

“It's not what we do. My mother's family directly produces what I developed. I think it would be better to trade it with the merchant.”

So far, several products, including Carbonated Ade, have been developed and produced by my alchemist team and distributed to large merchants.

The reason why they are in charge of distribution is... to figure out the distribution structure here.

And .... In case my carbonated ade doesn't sell, there was a reason I didn't touch it on purpose to minimize the damage.

However, I was convinced that carbonated ade left no small gain.

The products I made sell!

If so, now I have a reason to go a little more earnest on my side.

“It doesn’t mean that I want to do business in my mother’s family. We just need to do intermediate distribution.”

Primary. Production is my alchemist team.

Secondary. I leave the intermediate distribution to my mother's family.

3rd. The idea is to leave it to the merchants that do business with my mother's family to actually put it on the market.

If you take the initiative in the secondary distribution like that, you will be able to take a profit in the middle.

that's the purpose

In fact... the reason I came up with this idea is because I recently came to know the situation of my mother's family to some extent.

My mother Lipana Einrest.

My mother's birth family, the Ainrest family, is what is commonly referred to as a fallen aristocratic family.

In the past, it was quite wealthy, but it almost collapsed in the generation of my grandfather.

Currently, he manages a small estate, but it cannot be said to be in good condition.

At least, it seems that they are surviving on crops, but I heard that it is dangerous because of the bad harvest this time.

So I decided to take this opportunity to improve the circumstances of my mother's family a little.

“If you do well, your mother’s family will be able to become wealthy too.”

“.. so?”

Mom seemed worried.

It seemed that he was hesitating because it seemed like he was dragging his son into his parents' situation.

However, it is also true that being a parent is difficult.

“I have to leave it somewhere anyway.

That’s why we have to do it where we can trust the most.”

I persuaded him to do so in order to alleviate the burden as much as possible.

“...First, let's talk about mom.”

Mom agreed to my proposed plan.

* * *

Ainrest also positively accepted my proposed distribution plan.

Grandson, not anyone else.

There was no way I could refuse it, since it was a proposal from a child who became famous among the aristocrats for carbonated ade.

I immediately handed over my plan to a servant sent from the Ainrest family to establish a distribution structure, and established a framework to be in charge of a full-fledged distribution structure.

Now it's time to unpack the rest of the products you've been waiting for.

let me introduce

first! Yogurt and MSG!

Its development was already completed half a year ago, but it was only being used at home without intentionally disclosing it.

Yogurt is also popular among women in our palace.

The reason is that I will show delicacy and not bother to say it.

MSG is especially liked by our exclusive chef, and thanks to this seasoning, the chef's motivation is skyrocketing.

And what I have developed is not only food.
