Gourmet Emperor : Building A Nation

But when I meet him, I can see that he's someone dedicated to his job. In modern era maybe he can be called as a professional. His house is full of many kinds of tools to waving fibers that can be used to make clothes like hemp, rayon, and sisal but I don't see any cotton there.

After introducing me to him, chief Harvard tells him our intention to visit him this afternoon.

"Taylor, you are the best clothes maker that I know here. But I know you have a hard time to get material to make clothes, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right chief. Even those peddling merchant that visit us not always have materials that I needed to make clothes. This somehow makes me depressed"

"I have something that might be can be used to make clothes, but I'm not sure. Can you determine you can make it become clothes after see that?"

"Let me see that thing first chief, as long as that thing can be made into thread or yarn, I can make clothes from that"

"Take a look at this, Taylor"

Chief Harvard takes the cotton bud that he picked up during our trip to the beach and handed it to mister Taylor. Mister Taylor receive it and examine it carefully

"Chief! This…this thing…where do you get it?"

Mr. Taylor look excited after finish examining the cotton bud that he receives from chef Harvard

"Why Taylor? Can you make clothes from that?"

"Absolutely! This is the best material I ever see. Chief, where do you get it?"

"Oh, I get that when I'm going to the beach with master Ikki. Look at his clothes, he said it also made from that kind of material like you hold in your hand right now"

When chief Harvard mention about my clothes, mister Taylor like being reminded and come closer to me to see my clothes. He rubs the shirt that I'm currently using, the jacket and the trouser too, which make me somehow scared with his enthusiasm.

"Yes, you right chief. This young master is using a cloth that I never see before. The texture is so smooth and neat like silk but it's not silk, only nobles can wear this kind of clothes in this world. And you say that made from this?"

Mr. Taylor ask chief Harvard while pointing the cotton bud in his hand

"Yes, you interested?"

"Of course! Give me more of this and will make you clothes that may be close to that young master currently wears"

"Ehem, mister Taylor, excuse me to interrupt you. This thing called cotton, and it can be cultivated here. I wonder if Mr. Taylor interested to cultivated this cotton here"

"Sure, I'm planning to recruit more people to live here and make this cotton plantation here. But you also must have more people to help you make clothes. So when this plan going to implemented, I want you to supervise this cotton plantation and clothes production. Can you handle that Taylor?"

"Leave that to me, chief Harvard. Do you still have more of this cotton? I want to learn it characteristic"

"Here, you can have it all. also when we go to the beach again you can come along to see this cotton tree. How about that?"

Chief Harvard handed Mr. Taylor all the cotton bud that he brings in his bag. Mr. Taylor accept it with glimmering eyes

"Yes...Yes... Count me in when you go there, chief Harvard"

"Okay Taylor, we've done here. I hope you can use that cotton wisely"
