Chapter 12: Attempting to sell salt and spices

This morning, Feru had been pressing me since early in the morning to cook steak for breakfast again and I got busy making steak again.

Truly a carnivore. I’m not surprised at the rate of consumption of meat.

It was ok since there was still some red boar meat left but, after breakfast, it has been used up.

It will be bad if I don’t call Feru to catch more prey soon.

If that is the case, I still need to register with the adventurer’s guild too.

After conducting the business with the merchant guild, I think I will try for the adventurer’s guild.

It seems today would yet be another busy day.

By the way, my breakfast was a simple ham and cheese sandwich and onion soup.

I shall spare steak for now.

As planned, I arrived at the merchant guild.

Since my schedule included registering with the adventurer’s guild later, Feru tagged along.

Michaela-san, who was in charge yesterday, was at the counter.

“Michaela-san, good morning.”

“Good morning, Makooda-san.”

“I have come today for the trade I mentioned yesterday. These are the goods I have brought.”

I took out the salt in the jute bag and spices in the containers from my item box while saying.

“I shall take a look. This… please forgive me.”

Michaela left her seat when she saw the spices.

Huh, don’t tell me the spices were a bad idea?

Long ago on Earth, spices had the same worth as gold, gram for gram. Perhaps bringing 100 grams of spices was too much.

After a while, Michaela-san returned and guided me to another room. She had Feru stay behind at the counter while I follow Michaela-san to the room.

Inside the room was an uncle in his fifties that still maintained a nice physique.

“Please, have a seat. I am the guildmaster of this guild, you may call me Robert. Pleased to be of acquaintance.”

Oh, the guildmaster is here.

d.a.m.n, looks like spices are no good.

Another employee entered to bring the bags of salt and spices and left. The guildmaster said “I shall have a look” before inspecting them.

As expected of the person of the merchant guild who made it to a guildmaster, he used his sharp eyes to confirm the taste and smell.

“I have been in the trade business for many years, but this is the first time I have seen salt and spices of such quality. Completely pure white salt without any weird flavor and spices that give off such a striking smell. I could only express magnificence at this.”

Oh really? The salt was purchased from the Internet Supermarket for just 5 bronze coins while the spices cost about the same.

“I would definitely purchase this but, could you kindly tell me how you obtained these?”

Yes, it came from the Internet Supermarket. The quality of salt and spice that was made in another world is guaranteed. Like I will say that.
