The children who came to the harbor city for the first time noticed the smell of the sea and their faces contorted a little. Maa, it couldnât be helped since this was their first time, and it was a path that they had to go through once.
We immediately brought the lumber to the harbor city. We had saved up a certain amount of it, and since I was going to ask everyone at the harbor city to process them into rectangular pieces of lumber, the only thing that we did was dehydrate them. If not, the harbor cityâs woodworking group would have nothing to do.
This time, I had the new Steppe Horses pull the horse carriage, and we piled up the trees onto the two horse carriages. The Steppe Horses were trained by Queen and their levels rose, so it was about as fast as a normal horse carriage, but it pulled vigorously, and we were able to arrive safely.
Our top product, potions, were loaded onto the wolf cart. This time, we had brought firewood and charcoal with us as well, but they had sold well.
We bought things like vegetables at a neighboring town like usual, but after asking the store employee, or rather, a villager there if they needed kindling, we happily purchased (exchanged). Certainly, we used kindling every day, so it wouldnât be a bad thing even if we had more of it. Or rather, it was also one of the reasons why we went to Dragon Forest.
We asked around as we went shopping in several places, but it seems that the villages that werenât located near a forest had a hard time procuring kindling. In addition, the trees from Dragon Forest burned for a longer period of time, so it seems that theyâre famous. This was information that we, who used them regularly, did not know. For that reason, the kindling was welcomed by everyone, so I took them out from myăItem Boxăas we shopped. We recently chopped down too many trees and we had enough kindling to sell, so letâs bring more next time.
ăYou brought a lotâŚ.ă
When we arrived at the harbor city orphanage, I asked everyone to help us, and we put the trees away in the warehouse. There was a fair amount in the horse carriages, but of course, there was also a lot in myăItem Boxă, so for the time being, there was many things to do, not just the woodworking group, but for the other children as well.
While I was at it, I asked the wives of the fishermen who were nearby, and they said that they were happy that there was kindling here as well, so I told the woodworking group to make a little more kindling.
This was because the quality of some of the trees that we brought was not very suitable for use in construction. The trees that the adventurer group cut down were done so haphazardly in order to lure monsters over, so there were various types of trees. The leaves varied as well, and we had discovered something new, but what I wanted was few in number. Maa, letâs leave the details to the woodworking group.
ăIt smells good.ă
ăThey all look delicious.ă
Handing over the cargo, we showed the new children around. As expected, the first thing that caught their eyes was the food stall. Maa, rather than their eyes, it was probably their noses, but sure enough, the smell of grilled seafood was fragrant. It would be better if there was soy sauce thoughâŚ.
ăItâs delicious!ă
ăAah, the food that Char-chan makes seems more delicious, but this wouldnât lose out either.ă
They had worked for a bit, so they immediately went to the food stall to eat. They randomly bought whatever caught their eye at the food stall. It was cheap, so it wouldnât be a problem for them to buy a lot, but I put whatever they couldnât finish in my Item Box as souvenirs.
Certainly, Char-chanâs skill also had an influence on the food that she made and was delicious, but the food made from freshly-caught ingredients was a different type of deliciousness. The scenery was a good highlight as well, and someday, Iâd like to go on a trip and try the local specialties.
