Chapter 437. The scale of business and conscience (3) It is a one-time business anyway.
And it was a trick created by a low-end merchant.
After all, the main business of the season was salt smuggling.
If you want other products, you can use those from other merchants.
After all, if you seduce them with the right amount of money, they'll get caught again.
“Put your unsold eyes away, even by the river. Whether it melts or not... Um, what is it?”
As he gave the order in moderation, he noticed that the merchant who had come to report hadn't finished talking yet, and asked back.
“What do you still have left?”
“That's... Actually, what the sales of snow gave me wasn't just a drop in demand.”
“?...”
What?”
Say what you're talking about right now.
The merchant who came up to report to him, who was glaring at him as if he was going to eat him, broke into a cold sweat and confessed the truth.
“Actually, there is someone who recently started selling strange things.”
“Something strange?”
“Yes.”
The merchant reported about it with a dark face.
Upon hearing this, his complexion also turned white as snow.
A small shop that suddenly appeared in the middle of the city.
It was there that they started selling strange goods.
“Why don’t you try something colder and softer than snow?”
A clerk hired by the store exclaims and recommends new products to tourists.
What they put out is finely ground white, cold particles on a bowl.
“...Isn't this the snow snack sold over there?”
A tourist who came up with something similar asked.
Then the clerk shook his head.
“No, these are not eyes. look. Isn't it whiter and softer than snow?
Saying so, when the clerk introduced it, the tourists gathered in surprise and curiosity.
“It’s milk, not snow.”
“milk? Ah... you mean cow’s milk.”
A person who knew about milk agreed and said.
“When it comes to sheep’s milk, I ate it when I was young. It's cow's milk...
However, most tourists were somewhat unfamiliar with milk.
This is because milk itself is a product that cannot be easily handled in the first place.
Not only is it not easy to raise a cow, but people like and dislike the milk.
Even those who ate it hated that it had a very fishy smell.
Still, curiosity about that new product is different.
They showed interest at first.
“Then is that milk made this way?”
“yes? If you freeze milk and grind it finely, it becomes whiter than snow like this. Isn’t it whiter and clearer than real snow?”
“Hmm... I heard it and saw it.”
“In addition, the milk that becomes this material is squeezed from cows specially raised in Kelia, not traded in general places.”
“Kelia? In the country of those different races?”
Tourists were quite surprised.
They, too, have never visited Kelly.
Not to mention the materials that were traded there.
Recently, thanks to the train, rare goods have arrived here and there, but I never thought the ingredients would flow from there.
“The milk that was squeezed there...
Hearing that, it seemed like something special.
I didn't hear anything special about it, but it still seemed different.
It was a moment when the perspective of looking at new products changed slightly.
And when curiosity arises, there is a desire to actually eat it.
“Give me one!”
Even if it feels like being deceived at least once.
Most of the people who come here are tourists, and they were willing to pay at least once.
And the price of that shaved ice is also not that expensive.
The sales recorded by the store on the first day of opening did not need to be organized separately.
It was all the more needless to say when I saw the clerks of the store in the immediate vicinity frowning.

“That bitch's actions are clear.”
As soon as Cherpal heard about the new store, he clenched his fists and concluded.
Keigin, who heard the story, asked again.
“You mean Elliot?”
“Yes, that year. If not, five days ago? A kid from the Roussel Company said he saw her.”
You don't even have to ask.
The fact that I came back here and the fact that I opened a store like that.
Frankly, she is arguing with herself.
It is the biggest challenge that a merchant puts out.
Perhaps it was deliberately showing his face.
“...The fact that she's there means that there's an Arnil firm behind her.”
It wasn't hard to imagine that point.
There is also a point of contact from the beginning.
And if you look at the products they handle, you can't show that skill anywhere else.
Not only the chocolates traded in Fahilia, but also the ingredients from Kelia.
Isn't it a skill that most grand ceremonies can't even dream of?
“I don’t understand... Why did the Arnil Chamber of Commerce bother to invest that much in that woman?”
“I don’t understand either.”
No matter how gigantic the Grand Prize Society was, there was no reason to reach out to a mediocre merchant.
The reason for intervening in this incident would be something they could not understand or guess.
The important thing for them is to earn and collect gold coins somehow, because they have no thoughts of arguing whether the method is right or wrong.
“...I have to step out after all.”
Keigin murmured softly.
However, the Cherpals seemed to have not heard, and only sighed.
“So what are you going to do?”
“...I need to think for a moment.”
Her return hurt the business they hoped would suck more honey for the next few months.
Even if I had to force myself to continue, I did not calculate that there would be any hope.
Even if you think about it, you can't see the odds of winning.
Elrium is second only because her back tummy was terrifying .
After all, was the person she contacted at that time a high-ranking person at Arnil Firm?
He shook his head in disgust.
“Okay, don’t give up.”
You don't have to scrape it to make a crust.
Thinking so, they decided to forget about Elium.
After all, she is also a merchant.
I didn't think that I would be conscious of this side again, just focusing on earning.
....Of course, it took less than a month to realize that it was their mistake.
They couldn't figure out what Elliot was doing when he returned here and why he didn't even show his face in the store.
The grudge of the victim is deep.
It was something they couldn't know.
“You’re like a beast bitch with no morals!!”
A month later, Cherpal slammed his fist on a table in a fit of rage.
It was only belatedly that she learned the true purpose of her return here.
Even with great losses.
After returning, Elium began to tighten transactions in the city one by one based on the subsidy he received from someone.
It wasn't just food that she touched.
Fur, minerals and even wood.
It started to touch all transactions comprehensively.
The problem is that all the transactions she touches are the routes of smuggling by smuggling low-end merchants.
That is, he was only aiming for that.
He even attracted a large number of merchants who fell into a trap at the Budell store and used it.
“Was this the intention from the beginning!”
He returned only for revenge.
