Chapter 50: Fruit Tart

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 BY GUTEZAGUTEREZ0980

On the table, there is a fruit tart, which has been sliced.

Strawberries, melon, orange, kiwi, apple, mango, grapefruit, blueberry and raspberry…a fresh and gorgeous fruit tart.

“Try it, everyone!”

Distribute the fruit tart to everyone’s plate.

“It looks beautiful and it’s a waste to eat it.”

Cake is something that really suits for girls.

Milia admires the fruit tart first, and then takes a bite.

Seeing her happy face, one can”t help but smile.

Harry and Edel are also eating deliciously, but the receptionist girl is eating the fruit first.

I don’t know if it was her instinct or not, but she really is a girl that I can’t hate.

Now that they understand the deliciousness of the fruit tart, Ginjiro begins his presentation.

“There aren’t any shops selling cakes in this city of Mainz, right? If there were shops selling these fruit tarts, wouldn’t you want to buy them?”

“Ginjiro-san, it depends on how much it costs, but at least those who can afford it financially would want to buy it.”

Milia answered, and Harry was next.

“I want my mother in the royal capital to eat it. Like the konpeito I received before, I think there are people who will buy it even if it’s expensive if it’s a gift for someone important.”

Harry thinks of his mother.

As expected, I can’t send fruit tarts to the royal capital, but I’d like to realize the matter of konpeito in the near future.

“This fruit tart is pretty easy to make once the technical stuff is figured out. It’s almost similar to the gorgeous shaved ice we try to sell for one small gold coin, except this tart part would be made of ice.”

Ah! I shouted out to the receptionist’s girl.

This is my chance, so I proceed my presentation to her.

“This fruit tart costs about three silver coins, the whole tart, not just the cut-up pieces. Like Edel’s fruit, when it’ s cut, the price is a little higher, I think people can afford to buy it.”

I look over at everyone and they are nodding their heads.

“At the shop I used to work at, this tea and cakes were served in the shop. I bought the cakes from the market, but if I wanted to make them, I could make them right away. A store like that would use a lot of fruit, wouldn’t it? But it would be tough if I had to do everything by myself, from stocking to cooking to selling. Buying fruit from Edel would save me a lot of work.”

I tell everyone that launching Edel’s company is also beneficial to me.

“The rest might be that? I’m not confident about doing business alone. That’s why I’d like to get Edel, Milia and the others involved, and do it together. Harry is an adventurer, but I’d like him to continue helping me if he is willing.”

I stood up and bowed to everyone, and then Edel.

“Ginjiro-san, you should shake hands at times like this.”

He stood up and shook my hand. Milia and Harry shook my hands as well.

The receptionist’s girl also extended her right hand, so I shook her hand.

“Another one, for everyone in the reception area.”

This girl right hand doesn’t budge when I try shake it.

She looked satisfied after I gave her a fruit tart, castella and dorayaki from the item box as well.
