NOVEL NEXT Chapter 879
We started to negotiate
“Indeed… The chief told me about the amount of potatoes and konjac remaining. Well, excluding the amount that is stored in each house. So, in terms of the amount and how much it would cost…”
The amount that Mr. Kanat then said was both more and cheaper than I was expecting.
I had seen the prices in Ractos, but it was even cheaper now. I wondered if it was because the duke was buying them…
“No, even if the duke’s opinion does matter to us. But as we do not have to deliver it to Ractos, it is only natural that it would be cheaper.”
I see…well, it was not strange that the price would change depending on location.
After all, he would have to carry to Ractos with a wagon. And that would not be cheap.
Hmm…he was going to be able to prepare twice as much as what Claire bought previously…it was more expensive than buying it in Japan, but considering that it was all made by hand, it was not expensive.
“So, one barrel is the same as what we saw in Ractos?”
“Ah, I didn’t tell you that part yet. Well, that was the first time we went to sell it outside of the village. But actually, it is a little different. A barrel here is slightly larger.”“Mr. Takumi. I brought a barrel of it yesterday?”
“Ah, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking about negotiations, and didn’t really notice the size…”
“Takumi. This is the remaining konjac.”
“Thank you, Phillip. So, it is quite larger than the ones we bought in Ractos.”
“Aye. As it was the first time we were selling it, we did not bring too much. The barrels in this
village are a little larger.”
Indeed, the konjac here was a little larger than my hand. So I suppose it was 1.5 times bigger… Definitely larger than what was sold in supermarkets.
“I see…this size for that price.”
I thought about what I should do.
I had to think about the amount that would be consumed at the mansion, as well as how long it could be stored.
That being said, the people there had eaten quite a lot, so I doubt it would go to waste.
“…Is there a problem?”
It was then that I noticed that the others were looking at me.
Especially Mr. Kanat and Ms. Delia.
“…You are usually smiling and so laid back, so I was a little surprised. Still, I am glad that you are thinking about it seriously.”
“Sorry, I was a little too focused.”
Usually, I tried to smile, so as to not give a bad impression to other people..
Also, there was the fact that I was in a new environment, and had a lot of fun… So unlike when I was in Japan, I had a lot of reasons to smile and look pleasant.
There were a lot of kind people here, and I simply enjoyed my time, especially because of Leo.
“Well, leaving my facial expressions aside…”
“Ah, are you blushing, Mr. Takumi?”
“What! No, nevermind that…”
I felt a little embarrassed to realize the others were focused on my expression, and so I forcefully changed the subject.
Even thought Ms. Delica was wagging her tail and looking at me happily…
