Chapter.28 Freshwater Fish
“Is that so? This is my most recommended restaurant. Please eat!”
Only then did Honta begin to eat his own food.
I feel a sense of discomfort. Damley thought so. Honta’s expression and behavior were completely different from the way he appeared in the capital.
“Oh, I’m going to the bathroom.”
Honta disappeared while eating, perhaps in a hurry, and Demili began eating alone.
Then, I feel the gaze of the man from before next to me.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Oh no. Is that delicious? fish.”
“yes? Ah yes. it is delicious. Is this the fish you’ve only heard about? “This is the first restaurant that sells something like this.”
“Oh, is that so?”
The man’s face instantly brightens.
After seeing that, El said something else and asked Damily.
“By the way, are you the owner of Honta’s store?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I think you said you were going to the capital together. Did things go well?”
“Yes, things went well, but… .”
Demili’s face darkened again.
“Honta was very worried. I want to treat my boss well, but I’ve never been to the capital and I don’t know what to do… “They say you can’t sleep properly and have trouble sleeping.”
“yes? Did you say that?”
“Because the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, we often talk about things like that while drinking.”
“A guy like that…” ?”
“yes?”
“no. “He might suddenly make a mistake, wander around alone, or sleep the entire way.”
“Honta?”
El shook her head in disbelief.
“Now that I think about it, I said I would go to the capital and make sure to repay the boss for all his time, but I wandered around alone looking for a good restaurant to take the boss to, and when I came back, the boss was already asleep. Maybe there was some misunderstanding or something, but Honta-nim probably didn’t sleep well the entire trip. I think that’s what happened. “You said it was your first time leaving Gray City.”
“yes?”
Hmm, when Damili heard El’s words, she had an instantaneous guess. If that’s true, does that mean it was all just a misunderstanding?
“Yes, you are very motivated to serve the boss properly, right? Discuss carefully whether that motivation was too excessive and caused anger. “When Honta comes back, I’ll serve you some alcohol.”
El laughed softly.
Damily nodded without realizing it.

“You saw it, right?”
After the business was over, I asked the silver fish guy who had been observing the customers at the bar table.
“That’s right. After all, I wasn’t wrong. It was delicious. It was delicious… .”
“Yes, that’s it. It’s just that they didn’t sell because they didn’t know. I think that if we appeal to its health benefits and its light taste in particular, it will sell well because many people like this type of food. “For older people, it’s easier to digest than meat.”
“Could that really be possible?”
The silverfish man scratched his gray hair and lowered his head with an expression that made him really wish that was the case.
“I’m not confident because no one has really paid attention to me so far.”
“You saw the positive response from the restaurant, right? Don’t worry, I’ll be happy to help. First of all, please prepare enough fish by lunch tomorrow. Enough. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll buy everything I’ve prepared. “That won’t happen, though.”
Yes, if my expectations are wrong and it doesn’t sell, I can just put it in a time-stop warehouse and use it in a restaurant.
***
Introducing today’s sales assistants.
The first helper is, of course, Lurin. And the second helper is Serena.
Honestly, there is nothing in this city that has as much to do as these two dragons. In order to exploit the labor of the two dragons who were eating and sleeping, they were dragged out by their backs.
And the third was Elena.
Well, it’s done right in front of the clinic, so if there are patients, you can go back.
In fact, two dragons were not necessary, but Elena was absolutely necessary because there had to be a trustworthy being to testify how healthy fish was.
In modern times, some people are reluctant to eat fish because of the pollution of the sea, but such a thing cannot exist in this world.
This fish is rich in high-quality protein and various minerals such as the essential amino acids calcium and magnesium, and is also a low-fat food, making it excellent for preventing adult diseases.
The goal is to catch the eyes and ears of ordinary people who come out to buy food for dinner.
“Now, leave it to me for today and just take the money when the customer pays.”
“That’s right.”
The silver fish guy nodded with a still puzzled look on his face.
And then I started grilling the sweetfish.
It is a common sales method in modern supermarkets, but it is a sales method that no one in this world even thinks about.
My winning bet was to sell through tasting. Just putting a bunch of live fish in a bucket and selling them is, in fact, a sales method that doesn’t even attract attention to people who don’t know about its existence.
First, I started grilling charcoal the same way I used to grill sweetfish before.
If the smell spreads too much, complaints will come in, so they spread a protective shield around the area, knowingly or unknowingly, and put silverfish on skewers and set them next to the fire.
Then it gets baked. Look at the shape of the sweetfish being grilled on charcoal.
Passersby begin to pay attention. No one has stopped yet, but they were definitely passing by and looking this way at least once.
That is, there is a reaction.
It’s important from here.
“Come on Lurin.”
I handed the whole sweetfish to Rurin. He was confused when he was dragged out of his sleep, and when he saw the deliciously grilled sweetfish, he squatted down and drooled, then accepted it with an expression that seemed like the world to him.
“Why are you eating here?”
“You idiot, didn’t you notice that?”
Then, Sereina answered instead of me and crossed her arms.
“Why do you notice things like that? plaguy.”
However, Lulin completely ignores Sereina’s sarcasm.
“Lurin.”
I handed the sweetfish skewer to Sereina, who was getting angry next to me, and pointed the surroundings to Rurin.
“Don’t worry about anything else, just eat comfortably. “Are you hungry?”
“Well, I understand because I’m hungry.”
Lurin nodded and took a bite of the sweet fish.
Crunchy!
And when I take another bite, the silverfish disappears in an instant.
“Hmm, that’s good. Do you want to eat a little slower?” “Slower than now.”
“What is it? why… .”
“The purpose is not to eat, but to show off.”
“Ugh? What is that again? “Don’t play with what you eat!”
“Don’t do that, let’s sleep.”
He gives another slang word, this time emphasizing slowly.
Anyway, thanks to this, people passing by start to gather. Yeah, like now.
“Hey, I was looking at it earlier. What on earth is this?”
“It is a food ingredient called fish. It’s light and contains a lot of healthy ingredients, and it’s completely different from meat… … No, it’s delicious before that!”
While trying to give a pointless explanation, I held out a slang term in front of a woman who appeared to be a housewife.
“now! Others please come too. “Just try it!”
“What does this taste like? “It’s nice to see something different.”
“Yes, yes. “This is a fish that is only eaten in the sea!”
I continued explaining while watching the fluttering fish, and as people gathered, other curious people began to gather one by one.
“But this…” It’s definitely delicious, but how do you eat it? “It looks very difficult.”
Among them, a housewife who seemed to be out to buy snacks said something like that, and I immediately denied it.
“no. Can you see our waiter eating?”
Yum yum.
Lurin eats the fish with a happy expression. From head to tail. Whole bone.
The sweet fish that went in from the head was cut in half like yum yum. The magic of disappearing into yum yum once again. As I said, Lurin was doing it a little slowly.
It’s somehow funny to act slowly.
“You can take it, just bake it and eat it. Just season it well with salt.”
“Oh really?”
“It looks like it would be easy to cook something. “I didn’t have anything to serve as a side dish, so please prepare one for me.”
“Yes, as much as you want. “Go over there, learn how to care for it, and then buy it.”
I said that while pointing at Mr. Ayu.
Curiosity calls out to people, and as the number of people increases, a crowd mentality develops.
“Well, there isn’t much left. “It’ll run out soon.”
Curiosity about new ingredients can be satisfied by tasting them, and you can stimulate people’s innermost emotions by declaring that they are about to sell out and saying that if they hesitate, they will no longer be able to buy them.
Sales are going smoothly.
“You are full now… . “How long will I have to eat it?”
Meanwhile, our glutton broke down and I looked at Serena.
“What what? what! I can’t eat that much… .”
“Please come here until Rurin is digested. “Red Dragon.”
“I hate it!”
I dragged the red dragon and held out the silverfish. And so the sales tasting continued.
Mr. Ayu is shedding tears of emotion. Considering the proportion of fish in the human diet, wouldn’t the future be smooth sailing?
***
A place selling sweetfish.
That break time.
“Hey Kid.”
“There are old people, but there are no children.”
Lurin answered Serena’s question firmly.
“Kid, don’t be funny, go get some water. “The great Red Dragon is thirsty.”
“Jijijiji now! “Can’t you see I’m taking a break!”
Lurin was so irritated by Sereina’s nonsense that she didn’t forget to throw the dishtowel she was holding.
Clap!
A dishcloth hits Serena in the face.
“Goes well. Hehehe.”
Then he slowly stood up as if running away.
“you you! “If you don’t come right away and clean this up and apologize, you’ll regret it.”
“Why do I regret it? “Why are you saying such nonsense?”
“Why are you stuck in a corner again, glancing at Elle and squirting beer?”
“How did you know that? Damn red guy!”
“Hehehe, since Elena isn’t here today, can you give me some helpful advice?”
For Sereina, El and Rurin’s love record is very important. Should I call it an observation diary? So I wanted to make a change, either for the bad or the good. Because observing this theory is very boring.
“help? There is no need for that. “I’d rather die than get help from the red one.”
“Oh really? “It looks like you didn’t do anything I told you while taking a bath last time, right?”
“that… .”
Lulin’s voice began to creep into Sereina’s firm question.
“There’s no way anything will change if I listen to you, so I just won’t do it.”
“Then live like that for the rest of your life.”
As Sereina shrugged with the dishcloth still attached to her face, Lulin’s eyes began to roll.
That’s true. I want to get closer to L and be loved by L more, but nothing will change at all.
My happiest memory was receiving a kiss on the forehead when I was summoned to another dimension.
How much time has passed since then? I never kissed you again. It’s hard these days.
“Uh uh… “Why is there a dishcloth here?”
Lurin quietly returned to Serena and removed the dishcloth from her face.
“Are you thirsty?”
“Oh why is there a water cup here?”
Then, this time, he went to the side where the sweetfish was being grilled and fetched water. This is water left for tasting for guests.
“Okay, I’ll show you sincerity and tell you what an idiot you are. “I’m sure you said last time that the problem is that you always rush in like that.”
“I’m happy so I rush in, so what should I do?”
“I mean, make your presence known. If you tell L that your existence is meaningless, nothing will happen. Ho Ho.”
“What what? It can’t be! we are!”
“Ah, so calm down. Isn’t it time for you to receive the Eucharist? “I need to get consciousness quickly to get rid of the milky smell.”
“Yes. But that’s annoying.”
“That’s not it. You have to use that as an opportunity. you idiot.”
Sereina poked Lulin’s forehead and began to smile victoriously. Lulin was so angry that she couldn’t help but lose her temper when she heard the word “opportunity.”
