「Oi! Don’t push others so hard! You and you, take your turn, move slowly!」

「Oi, what do you mean!…….ah, if it isn’t Mince-san……hehe」

As I was thinking, the scalekin Mince came out of nowhere while holding manga meat on both hands. She started shouting loudly to control the place.

One of the men who was in the crowd just in front of us stopped and looked like was about to pick a fight. However, when he saw Mince’s face, his attitude immediately changed.

「Don’t push to the front. Someone might get injured.」

「Right, it’s dangerous……hey, isn’t that obvious?」

Yeah, I appreciate the thoughts…..

Though I’ve already noticed it for some time, our adventurers group is a complete mafia mode when given this role.

In fact, they were like the bouncers of our stores.

「You already got one, go to the back」

「Yeah, right, let the children go first」

「Hey, what’s the matter? You can’t find your mother? I’ll give you a shoulder lift so you can find her.」

After Mince, the other members of the Schenker family came one after another to help.

I can’t help but be thankful.

I’ll give them individual new year’s gifts later.

I had prepared enough money to fill a small Santa sack but it was gone before I knew it…..

When I said “It’s over!”, the people who had gathered there gave the loudest cheer of the day and scattered back into the crowd.

Well, I’m satisfied with what I just did.

Let’s do this again later.

It was a windy, snowy day some time after new year.

My wife and I were sitting around the dinner table at the Slayra residence with our two babies and the executives of the Schenker.

We are an upstart nobles so if the executives will continue to work for us, that means they are Noah and Lacus’ direct vassals.

We decided to have a dinner party about once a month to have everyone bond with the siblings and also report on our daily activities.

「……prin……cess……」

「Kyau! Au!」

「Noah-sama〜, baaa〜」

「Abu!」

Noah and Lacus, now nearly six months old and can sit on their own, are in a good mood with Vongo and Seele sitting next to them with pacifiers in their hands.

「So, Chicken, you’re going to cancel this year’s trade between Torquiva and Tarbabara?」

「Yes, I think the amount of seyu we bought last year is enough. It seems like it wasn’t very popular with southerners. Even the trial sales have not been well received……」

「I see…..well, it’s a bit too different compared to the seasonings around here after all.」

I had also checked the feedback from the test sales and it seemed to be generally consistent with “Sour, tasteless, and smelly”.

Well, it’s a soy sauce from another world that hasn’t been improved and even I find it smelly so I’m sure it’s even worse for the natives.

「Then, I guess I’ll just use the rest of the seyu.」

「The test sale itself has been quite well received by the Schenker’s and the citizens of the city so I’m going to keep it going.」

「Okay」

Mince, sitting across Chicken, nodded her head in agreement. People, no matter what world they are in, are weak for limited editions.

「So, about the hardware store in west city……」

「Excuse me, the food is ready」

Just as Chicken was about to start her next report, today’s dish arrived.

Let’s eat first.

「Steamed gehageha with sake」

Many of the dishes prepared by the chef here at the Slayra residence are not dishes from Torquiva.

The chef is a native of the Slayra territory on the far northern coast and is apparently good at cooking fish. However, he is always complaining that the only fish he can get here is gehageha.

You wouldn’t even be able to get gehageha if I hadn’t farmed it so you’ll just have to deal with it.

「Next is the seasonal stew.」

It’s a stew made of winter vegetables and chicken.

He says he’s good with beef but in this part of the world, the cows are buffalos.

According to him, they are treated a little differently from cows in the north.

「Next, we have takikomigohan.」

TN: Rice cooked with dashi, soy sauce, and other ingredients.
