Chapter 169 (1/2)

169. Sanction 1

We have arrived!

Let's get off the carriage and head to the party venue with Marquis Mitch.e.l.l.

Since it's my first time visiting this place, my face is still not known, but there seems to be no gatekeeper, guard or guide who doesn't know Marquis Mitch.e.l.l.

Following Marquis-sama, we went around to greet the organizers and key people. Some are new to me, and there's also some people that I've already met at the other parties.

…And everyone turned their head, glaring towards me…

Scary!!

Well, maybe it's about the imported products.

I guess there are some who want to bite into my business to make profit, but most of the attendee here are n.o.bilities, not merchants. So, perhaps it's not only about that, but also about [That].

It's something like [I want to eat and drink delicious things] or [I want to get my hands on the trending items to maintain my status].

Right, I carried a large quant.i.ties of spices… even so, they're not that much, but still, enough to meet the needs of the upper-cla.s.s families. Spices aren't consumed in large quant.i.ties like wheat, so if you buy them not only in j.a.pan but also in other countries, it can be managed somehow, even if they purchased collectively in individual-scale rather than business-scale.  There are also online orders… So there's no need to be afraid of shortage of stock.

In the future, I want to circulate them among the commoners, so I don't want the spices to have the impression that they're [Luxury goods that can't be easily obtained].

However, the supply of liquors and high-quality ingredients has been squeezed that it escalates the market demand and stimulates the sense of high-cla.s.s and luxury.

These goods have little to do with commoners because they're not essential items in general, and there are enough lower-rank compatible products made in this country, so there's not much problem with shortage.

So, of course, I'm going to make profits out of them, but other than that, I plan to use it as a convenient item that can be used in various ways, such as [inexpensive item for getting acquainted with the n.o.bles].

…or that was the plan.

Marquis Mitch.e.l.l cannot be stuck with me all the time. So, he's staying away from me and occasionally looks at me to check the situation from afar, but…

People starts coming this way.
