055 – Chain stores. It’s Expansionist Move #1
The world is somewhat harsh on silver medalists.
The second factor is bound to be hidden right under the huge shadow of the first factor.
Although their efforts and time were not intended to become a stepping stone for bright and brilliant gold medalists.
In that sense, the de Winter family in the west was a family that had solidified its position as the second-in-command since a very long time ago.
Even though they defeated the wild rose and entered the city of flowers, the home of the west, people said, “The de Winter family? not great But if you ask me if it’s the best, I don’t know.”
‘I want to be number one.’
Rebekah was a person who genuinely took pleasure in stepping on others.
When I was unfortunately defeated by the “swordsmanship club” at the club fair last semester, I made up my mind that I would definitely win first place this time.
actually put a lot of effort into it.
‘I really worked hard for this fair.’
I thought it would be a win for sure.
But an obstacle came from an unexpected place.
“… no, that’s nonsense Something must have been tricked! Miss Rebekah, that snack bar that sells cheap food for commoners… .”
Since its founding, 「Ludens Gourmet Society」 has made the most short-term profits.
But their mood was as gloomy as the portrait.
Ludens Gourmet Club’s revenue is 32 million Renée.
And the cooking department of victory that has been provoking them is 32.05 million René.
50,000 Ren.
The difference between winning and losing was only 50,000 René.
Coronero, who always followed Rebekah, began to speak incomprehensibly.
“It doesn’t make sense for us to lose as we prepared with high-end materials and equipment! What kind of humans eat the food of strange commoners?”
Ludric Chessman, a third-year student with slightly tummy brown hair, nodded.
“Like the ignorant public. Spending so much money on snack food that only tastes stimulating and seems to have little nutritional value?”
“… … .”
Rebekah was silent.
Because I thought that if I lamented and complained about the situation together, I was really second-rate.
The priority now is to think about what to do in the future.
‘I made a bet… .’
Defeat.
It was a story that made me angry even by that, but the biggest problem was the fact that Rebekah made a bet with the bizarre club.
‘If you don’t cover things that didn’t happen… ?’
It’s a pun on words. It’s a common thing in the aristocratic world.
But the opponent is that Victor.
Former executive member Viktor.
Arkwright’s relentless hound.
The words I spit out will make me keep them at all costs.
They also have Enio of the Black Star.
Enio of the Black Star family was not the type to step out and do something, but he was also one of those people who should never be left as enemies.
‘Why should I be worried about this? It was only natural that we win.’
hard.
teeth are grinding
‘Orca, I invited you. Did you even write a letter? If you came and ate just one plate, wouldn’t we have won?’
Even though you came to Ludens, you didn’t stop at your fiancé’s shop?
For some reason, I feel like I’ve been tossed around by the Arclight family.
‘In the first place, I shouldn’t have believed in something like the duke’s family. In the end, the world has no choice but to survive on its own.’
Cheeky, giik.
Then the shop door opened.
“Facilities are nice, yes.”
“Those guys I don’t like… . This classy exterior is very nymph-friendly right… ! It’s a carpet covered with Renee… !”
Coronero said, “We don’t take any more guests. The business is closed,” he said bluntly, but the man and his group reluctantly entered and sat down at a nearby table.
“I’m very happy about something today. We’re all going to have a dinner together at an expensive place. Would you mind taking some orders?”
* * *
“First place! We got first place! I, for the first time since I was born, won first place!”
Nike liked it very much.
It was officially counted that our 「Cooking Department of Victory」 posted the biggest sales at this club fair, so there was no need to be nervous anymore.
“This Arnoy, you worked really hard… ! So, the promised share, 1% of today’s sales. It’s good to take it… !”
“Are you giving me too? huh? This teacher helped you too!”
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood because they made a lot of money.
Well, it was almost like a gold harvest double event, and I was sweeping Renee.
Now, after calculating the cost of materials and the rent of the place, will the net profit of 20 million René be reduced?
It was fortunate that the slush was really cheap, so the margins were really high.
“Then do the distribution later. Let’s start with congratulations I made a lot of money today, and since it’s Friday again, I think it would be nice to have a dinner party?”
Arnoy liked my proposal very much.
“So, are we going to try this slushie too? Hey Arnoy, he made his own slush, but in fact, he couldn’t even take a sip… .”
It’s something that’s sold, so you shouldn’t eat it.
Actually, I didn’t even have time to eat.
Maybe that’s why everyone was tired and tired.
Even Enio, who never loses his poker face, was holding his breath with a red blush on his face.
I said.
“On such a happy day, we can’t just have a slushy dinner. Let’s go eat something more expensive. I will buy this, so you don’t have to worry about money.”
Why, on a happy day like today, there’s a good store right now.
I mean fine restaurants.
With that feeling, we stormed into the shop of “Ludens Gourmet Association”.
In my heart, I wanted to shout out loud, “Losers, we won!”, but Viktor was too naive to do such an inelegant thing.
“The losers, hurry up and bow down to this body, Arnoi, the nymph of the great ditch… !”
Of course, Arnoi was a strange guy.
With that feeling, we sat down at a clean table.
Looking at the menu board, it seems that the number of zeros stamped on it makes me dizzy.
Nike trembled.
“Here, they say 50,000 Renae for a glass of water… !”
What kind of water do you sell for 50,000 Renae?
Did you sprinkle gold dust?
Selling slush for 5,000 Renae is incomparable.
Even if the main target is nobles, is there anyone who orders something like this?
“Then Arnoy, I want to order a glass of water worth 50,000 Renae… ! I’ve always wanted to taste what the water in a high-end restaurant tastes like… !”
It was Arnoi who laughed hee hee hee.
I can’t tell if he’s intentionally trying to make fun of me or if he’s serious.
However, the effect was very good, and the people of 「Ludens Gourmet Party」 said, “These guys… ” he muttered indignantly.
The reason why he couldn’t make a loud noise was probably because Enio was there.
“It reminds me of the mainland. I used to come to this store often in the mainland. I never thought I would feel the scent of the mainland at Ludens. At this rate, it would be more than 3 stars on the mainland, right?”
Enio praised the restaurant opened by this “Ludens Gourmet Association”.
It was certain that the daughter of the duke, who must have grown up seeing only good things, was at least as good as her appearance.
Even Nike is intimidated.
“I’m coming to a place like this for the first time… ! Is the fork on the left and the knife on the right… ? It’s a marshmallow… ? Oh, it’s a napkin… !”
Even though he’s a winner, he doesn’t look like a winner at all.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
To be honest, I’ve never been to a store like this before.
You don’t have to be servile, do you?
Cooking should suit the person, and people should use it according to the dish.
“In that sense, Rebekah, I will place an order.”
I demanded a spell from Rebekah, who was silently blushing and trembling. The sky-blue haired woman next to him is rather angry.
“The business is closed, so we are not taking orders… !”
That’s really mean.
Rebekah de Winter then chuck-raises her hand.
“I take orders. There are still ingredients left.”
The reddish color on her face quickly returned to normal.
is this noble?
On the one hand, I thought it was great.
“Then, let’s start with the A-rank Marvel here.”
It’s a dish that costs 500,000 Renae per plate.
I wondered how delicious it was that I followed my trumpet snack bar right in front of Rene’s nose for 50,000 won.
On the other hand, I also thought that I just wanted to eat expensive dishes comfortably.
Isn’t the most delicious dish ‘made by others’?
Soon, 「Ludens Gourmet Party」 started operating normally.
Of course, it was closed, so we were the only customers.
So it was rather good.
It’s as if this luxurious shop has been rented out.
Have winners always enjoyed this feeling?
Even those who have been victors since birth?
* * *
Labels are important.
Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal, the price is 50,000. 50 thousand. If you put it like this, it feels different.
Then, how delicious is a plate of 500,000 Renée’s steak?
Moon angle, moon angle -.
The sound of everyone cutting meat was loud.
“… It’s frustrating, but it looks delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious meat! is this meat? What kind of beef jerky have I been eating? What was it?”
Nike was the first to evaluate.
I thought Nike would not know the taste of meat because he was poor, but unexpectedly, this expensive dish seemed to suit his taste. I also really liked Arnoi.
“I didn’t think it was anything special, but it sure tastes good…” ! A cup of this 50,000 René water is also very delicious… ! You can feel the taste of clear ditch water… !”
When I read the origin, it was just spring water.
However, Arnoy was drinking the water so deliciously that I decided not to say anything.
I have to focus on eating myself too.
A late lunch and a quick dinner that I couldn’t even eat lunch.
A round steak that often appears in cartoons.
The one with only one bone.
It came out beautifully baked in front of me.
When you put the small pieces of meat in your mouth and chew, the moderately grilled gravy wets between your teeth and your tongue.
“The taste is the passing point. But it seems a bit lacking. No, if you look closely, it’s not a little lacking. There is a problem with the material.”
In my estimation, a girl with blue hair—probably a classmate named Coronero—had a tantrum.
“Open, dare to evaluate the common people’s system… !? Your vulgar tongue will not be able to comprehend this old-fashioned aristocratic meal… !”
No, Viktor’s tongue is quite precise.
That’s right, since I was raised as the son-in-law of the Arkwright family since childhood, this guy has been eating well in his own way.
In my evaluation, this meat was delicious, but something was greatly lacking.
“Is it also B grade?”
Rebekah trembled in shock at my question.
“… … .”
Rebekah was silent, but looked very uneasy.
It was the moment I was sure I was right.
“This meat. It’s not grade A, it’s grade B, right?”
The price of grade A sold by Deos, a food merchant, is about 400,000.
And the B grade is 100,000 cheaper than half of that.
Of course, the taste will also be different.
Of course, I had never eaten grade B meat.
However, I know how the taste is different because I have tasted A-grade meat when Enio made me a lunchbox.
Even though there were burnt parts and the bulgogi was a little sloppy, it was quite tasty because the ingredients themselves were expensive.
“I was expecting a little bit, but as expected, the B grade has no choice but to have its limits. It’s worse than Enio’s lunchbox.”
“Victor-kun, did my lunchbox taste so good?”
While Enio asked, the surrounding outfield started to stir.
“Grade B meat?”
“Didn’t we all only sell A-grade quality?”
“I had no idea. Maybe we lost because it was a B grade, so the quality was low… ?”
All eyes were on Rebekah.
It seems that mixing and selling B-grade meat was Rebekah’s sole strategy.
“Miss Rebekah, is that true? Then, maybe the reason why we don’t have enough sales is that Rebekah secretly uses B-grade meat… ?”
“Why would you do that?”
why did you do that
Yes, it must have been because the quantity of A-grade meat alone was not suitable.
Those guys are the same members, don’t you know that?
As if they really didn’t know, everyone started blaming Rebekah.
“Miss Rebekah, I, Ludrick, are the manager of this Ludens Gourmet Club. Would you like me to explain this matter?”
Is there any self-defense that is as easy to understand as blaming others for defeat?
Originally, if a game loses, it’s the jungle’s fault.
I heard that games where you can actually blame others last a long time.
So, is it my turn now?
“It’s fine. Now, then, it is time to fulfill the contract of the bet.”
