About money
I made stew for dinner
I couldn't find roux, so a steithout roux it is
Melt soredients
For seasonings, salt and pepper
Once it's heated properly, add wheat flour to bring out the thickness of the consomme soup
Finally add milk and cook it well
Ahh, just like with rinnals, their na as the taste is the same, there's no problem
No problem at all
I basically make no mistakes when it comes to housework
I don't think it's annoying, and if I do well, I can live every day in a nice atmosphere
”So good! What is this? I've never seen anything like it, but it's great! Alice, you were good at cooking?”
”Well, I'm not bad”
shi+on-san had high praise for me
”Really, Alice-chan, you're so girlish”
”I-is that so? I think there are cooking h?”
There's one right in front of you, you know?
”You can become a bride any time!”
Aunty got that distant look in her eyes
Nono, don't try to throw me out, okay?
Don't sell me!
” a wife?”
Ossan is trenore him
I'm not the only one, you know?
Everyone does
”By the way, Onee-chan, there's so I wanted to ask you”
”Hmm, what's up?”
She held her plate out to ave it back to her
I wonder if she can eat all that?
”Can I buy a slave?”
”Ahh, froht? They did cause some rumors you saw them, Alice?”
”I was on the main street just then”
And I can't think of it as someone else's business, either
In the very beginning, if Uncle had hypothetically been a bad guy, wouldn't I have been sold as a slave or so?
I e, too, like cattle
And ould be the fate of a slave like me?
Ahh~
That goes without saying
”Hmm? Well, you can Anyone can, if they have the money”
Money, huh
I got the change from my errands at noon as pocked money, but with that
”Hmm and about how much do they cost?”
”Well, that depends on the slave, but let's see”
shi+on gave me a dirty look and made a wicked face
”For exaold coins Around 500000 Rook, I guess?
”Your face is wicked, Onee-chan”
But wait a second
How much money is that actually?
For today's dinner, I've used 20 Rook
Ahh, if I think about it like that, I received a considerable a money Thank you, Aunty
So, lunch also costs around 20 Rook; breakfast well, for simplicity's sake, let's also make it 20 Rook
Together, that means it takes 60 Rook for a family of four to live one day
Water is free from the well
Magic crystals are used for light They're consuht bulbs, but they shi+ne by their oer so there's nothing like electric utility fees
Fire comes from firewood, and fire crystals
Fire crystals are like ive off flames and are used in the kitchen
For heating up the bath and the like, it's firewood
Uncle chops it
”Ehhhm?”
Seeing ently
That smile suits you, Onee-chan
You don't buy consuoods every day, so there aren't many daily expenses other than food, huh?
Of course, there's probably taxes or sonore those for the moment
So, if I calculate with a rough estie expenses for consumables?
”How ain?”
”365 of course”
”And the world is round?”
What the heck is this girl talking about? Is that what your eyes are saying? I see
Please don't burn me at the stake
”Which means”
80 Rook times 365 days means with 29220 Rook we can live for a year
Roughly 3 gold coins
””
With 3 gold coins, a family of four can live for a year
So?
”How ain?”
”500000 Rook”
You look like you're enjoying yourself, Onee-chan
” around 17 years for a family of four?”
Eh, what's with that scary amount of money?
No no, this is only living expenses Equip costs money, too, and there are other necessary expenses as well
Humans need a certain amount of luxury, to reward themselves
