I nodded in acknowledgement after what Hiko-sama had written in the sketchpad and was amazed that his organisation in preparing notes have improved tremendously.
We dismissed the girls back to their tasks at hand and we discussed that Kaori No Kyandoru would commence once the warehouse had been set up and the line is running.
We dismissed the 4 managers since they would need to report here in the next morning and get 6 mounts altogether from the stable boys in the shogunate. As a precautionary measure, Hiko-sama suggested we be bearing weapons tomorrow.
The 4 men saluted and sat down again after concluding the meeting as they would like to stay back for some sake and dinner made by the cooks. The 4 men were still hungry and went over to the cooks and asked what's for supper and they replied that they would be frying garlic rice with saba fish and sunny side up eggs.
The 4 men asked the cook to prepare additional portions because the fried garlic rice they had for lunch was very delicious and they don't mind eating the same fried rice prepared by the cook.
I discussed with Hiko-sama that we would be taking a 1,000 gold coins to place them in the petty cash box, and deposit the rest of the sales proceeding of 67,000 and Hiko-sama nodded in acknowledgement. The both of us regarded gold coins like as if they're coppers.
+-==The next morning==-+
The storekeeper, delivery boys and the 1st shift guards came in early by 7 am to ensure that the goods on the wagon had been secured properly. The 2nd shift guards were doing double shift and wouldn't mind since their meals had been properly taken care. The 6 men proceeded to their former boss and loaned 6 horses to pull their wagons.
The 4 ambassadors arrived with the 6 mounts and tied them near the trough and sat down at the garden for us. Everyone was excited to be moving as a convoy and Hiko-sama and I would be taking the lead, while 2 will flank the convoy and another 2 would be the rear guard.
I was looking at their katana and discovered that I promised to Hiko-sama that I would be forging them as a gift. It would be the first katana forged by Fasuto Japan and I would be using steel blades for them in the Realm of Mind when we have received the batch of iron ores and coal.
I held my Odachi at the side of my obi and was satisfied with it even though it was forged using Refined Iron but had my blood Essense running in its blade.
I asked the 4 ambassadors about their katana and 4 of them replied that it was either bought, given as a gift or taken from enemies hands. They asked me why I asked and I replied casually that I had made a promise to Hiko-sama and just remembered them.
We had a hearty breakfast of steamed sweet corn but with a dab of butter on it with a sprinkle of grated coconut. The cooks really know how to whip up a variety of dishes when they arrived and the 4 men were thankful to the cooks. Even if at a glance it may be simple, but the presentation and savour were at another level.
”Time! Let's go.” Hiko-sama commanded as it was a short and sharp order to move out. We quickly finished our meals and drink and mounted the horse. The 6 men had already secured the horses to the wagon and awaiting the orders as well.
”PROGRESS!” the 4 ambassadors cheered as they saluted, the enchanting word pierced through the crispy morning as the 4 ambassadors would lead the convoy first before heading the main road after the guarded gates of Kitakata.
From there Hiko-sama and I would be leading the convoy and everything should be going as planned. Soon we led the convoy through the trail and reached Aizuwakamatsu slightly over 1 hr and 15 mins and had arrived safely without any hitch. The 4 ambassadors led us to Fasuto Japan Branch Office and dismounted.
We looked at the office and there was a veil across the glass and covered the interior from view. Our delivery boys then took down the STM and placed in inside the showroom. The veil remained as we called several messengers to pass a message that to the cosmetic owners that we had arrived and could pick up their goods.
After a while, the ladies came in carriages and their delivery boys arrived behind them. The ambassadors introduced Hiko-sama and me to the ladies and we exchanged pleasantries. They checked the goods against their order forms and were very satisfied and paid the ambassadors while the delivery boys loaded the goods to the other party's handcart.
I approached the owner and spoke that we have something new to present and asked her to stay. Soon all the owners of the cosmetic shops arrived and had paid for their merchandise as the goods had been equally distributed.
Since the ladies are all present, a number of lookers gathered around to watch as they whispered among one another that a live demonstration of a revolutionary item was about to be showcased.
The STM was brought out and everyone was peering at it with curiosity and I explained that the item before them would improve their lives and they no longer needed to spend hours scrubbing their clothes in the laundry and also cut down costs for those who engage laundry services too.
After the demonstration by using the veil that covered the glass front as an example, the onlookers that gathered had increased to under 200 and it almost blocked the trading district.
After breaking down the cost to merely a few coppers per day, this made everyone excited as it was very affordable to save daily and pays to the Treasury monthly directly. They looked at the billboard and understood it.
