Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~-Chapter 151: Street Stall
Chapter 151: Street Stall
The next day, we visited the Adventurerβs Guild as promised and after receiving the reward and materials from the remaining four Armored Buffaloes, we decided to take a stroll around the town. π§π―eπ²π¬β―ππ·oπ·eπΉ.πππ
And then, I smelled the scent of curry from somewhere.
ββItβs curry~!ββ
Allen and Elena recognized it too as they were sniffing fragrance with their noses.
βIt smells really nice. Do you want to stop by?β
ββYea!ββ
Allen and Elena greatly approved of my proposal, so we immediately went to the Fiji Company.
ββThere~!ββ
When the building of the company came in sight, Allen and Elena pointed at the street stall before it.
A queue formed in front of the stall and the surroundings were filled with a great number of onlooking people.
βYeah, thatβs certainly it. So many people are here too. Now then, what are they selling?β
βN~ you see, meat~!β
βN~ soup~?β
Each apparently had different expectations from the stall as Allen expected curry-flavored meat and Elena curry-flavored soup.
βN~... are those meat skewers?β
βYaay~β
βAu~β
Allen was delighted from his correct guess while Elena felt disappointed by her miss, both showed the extreme sides of reactions.
βWhat do you want to do? We would have to line-up for a bit, but would you like to try them?β
ββWill eat~ββ
That being the case, when we were about to move to the end of the queueβ
βHuh, arenβt you Presidentβs Guest-sama? Moreover, powder curryβs? Eh? Ehh? Y, you are lining up? Nono, we cannot have you line up, can we?β
The employee who was guiding people at the end of the queue recognized us and blocked us from lining up.
ββCannot~?ββ
βThe children wanted to it, but we cannot enter the queue?β
βNono, I didnβt mean it like that! Even if you had to line up, it would be in the priority queue!β
βEh? Is that favoritism?β
βNono, itβs a priority! Moreover, the maximum priority!β
Apparently, due to the arrangements of the Fiji Companyβs president Stefan, we have been designated as the maximum priority guests, and were shown into the shop. Moreover, the employees in charge of the end of the queue even switched with each other.
βAs expected, I cannot take you to the front, so I will bring it from the back. How many would you like?β
I see, like this, they wonβt anger the lined up customers while still giving us the top priority.
Then, I donβt have to worry about anything, do I?
βThen, I will ask for three please.β
βYes, wait a moment please.β
The employee went back to the stall and called to the person grilling the skewers.
βThank you for waiting.β
The employee really returned in a moment.
βThank you very much. Err, how much is it?β
βNono, we would really like to hear yourβ impressions, so thereβs no need to pay.β
βEh?β
While still clogged up by the employeeβs words, Allen and Elena already received the skewers from him.
ββCan eat~?ββ
The two sought permission to eat while looking at me with puppy eyes.
β... Ah, yes, go ahead.β
ββThank you~ββ
When I nodded, they immediately stuffed their cheeks.
βHow is the taste?β
ββDelish~ββ
βIs that so, I am glad to hear that. Guest too, please try it by all means.β
βYes, I shall.β
The employee encouraged me to eat, so I tried the meat skewer.
The meat is... Horn Rabbit, I think? Moreover, the ratio of salt and curry seems to be exquisite.
βYeah, itβs delicious.β
βR, really?β
He wasnβt saying anything, but his eyes were asking me βHow is it? How is it?β so when I told him my impressions, the employeeβs expression obviously cheered up.
βI meant it. You have not used too much curry powder, so itβs not overpowering.β
βIf Guest-sama says so thenββ
βTa, Takumi-dono, you have come!!β
βPr, president!?β
In the midst of the employeeβs words, Stefan-san who was out of breath rushed over. Moreover, while he was running, I could even hear some noises coming from his direction.
βStefan-san, if you have a business with me than I could wait, you donβt have to be in such a hurry. Besides, we came today only by a chance, you should have just invited me over like before, you know?β
βNono, it was urgent the last time so I had invited you, but I cannot do that every time!β
βEh, is that so?β
βThat is so!β
Itβs apparently like that.
βSo, I donβt have to guess that you wanted to talk about curry powder?β
βYes, exactly! To start selling the curry powder, we opened a street stall just as you suggested, Takumi-dono. At first, the familiarity with the curry was too low just as we thought and we didnβt sell too much. However! The sales have dramatically increased after we opened the stall.β
The sales of the curry powder have apparently steadily raised after they opened the stall.
Foreseeing that and opening the stall was a really good move.
βWell, itβs only given after seeing that queue~ As I thought, the best-seller must be the curry salt, not the curry powder, right?β
βEh? Did you say curry salt?β
Stefan-san looked at me in wonder.
βHuh? The skewers you are selling at the stall had salt mixed in with the curry powder, no?β
βYes, that is correct, but...β
βYou are not selling that? You could easily season with one of those, so putting them in small containers and selling them as camping or traveling goods would work well, I think...β
βNow that you say it! Of all people, how could I miss something that was right under my eyes!! Oh? So that means, other seasonings besides the curry powder could be mixed with salt?β
β......... Oh my?β
It seems that they werenβt selling the curry salt. Moreover, things like spice salt apparently donβt exist either.
Well, with such simple blends, Knights and adventurers will have an easier time cooking while camping outside.
βTakumi-dono, might I make use of that idea of yours? Of course, we will handle it in the same matter we handled the curry powder and definitely wonβt make Takumi-dono lose out!β
βYes, I donβt mind. Also, if possible, I have a few salts I would like to have made, may I ask you for it?β
βOhh! That is a request I am grateful for! Please let me hear about it by all means!β
That being the case, it was not only the newly created curry salt that was sold, but even garlic salt, lemon salt, and herbal salt became part of the βSimple Salt Seriesβ that began their sales.
To think such simple seasonings would have such a big impact.
Truth to be told, I wanted a matcha salt the most, but... I have no matcha~ Far from matcha, I have not even seen a green tea before. Ah, but green tea leaves should look the same as black tea leaves, so itβs possible that specialist shops like that of Russel-san have them.
The last time, there were so many kinds I didnβt have time to look around. Letβs take a look slowly and carefully the next time.
