Volume 5 Chapter 115 - Grateful to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce (1/2)

“Ding ling ling.”

The door to the small tavern was suddenly pushed open and a hot blast of air hit the cool breeze that was blowing around the small tavern, causing the wind chimes that hung over the door to ring.

Several large men who were sitting by the door drinking their ice cold beer suddenly broke out in a sweat and couldn’t help cursing.

“Hey, I say, old Johan, you really should hurry up and buy a Magic Air Conditioner. Just with these two outdated first generation Magic Fans, how can you keep it cool in here?”

“That’s right, look at how we’re dying from the heat sitting here. I told you, if you aren’t willing to spend a bit of money to buy a Magic Air Conditioner, your old customers might all run off.”

“That’s right, there was a new tavern that opened up recently. Their store has three Magic Air Conditioners in there. I went in the other day and that was called cold, it was simply refreshing drinking beer there. If I wasn’t used to being here and all my old friends are here, I wouldn’t have come today.”

……

Hearing the complaints of his customers, old Johan revealed a simple smile and replied with a nod, “Alright, alright, alright, I’ll get one in here tomorrow and you’ll definitely feel much more comfortable. We’re all old friends, of course I’ll satisfy you if you want something.”

“Right, old Johan, speaking of buying a Magic Air Conditioner, you should buy the Frestech Brand.” One of the men said.

Old Johan revealed a bit of hesitation, “Frestech Brand? But the Frestech Brand is more expensive than the others……”

“Che, you don’t understand. Don’t look at the higher price of the Frestech Brand, it’s easier to use. Let me tell you, I had two neighbours who bought Magic Air Conditioners the year before last. One of them bought the Frestech Brand and the other bought…..What was it called…..It seems to be the Thornes Brand, anyway it was an off brand Magic Air Conditioner. Can you guess what happened? The one that bought the Frestech Brand is still using it well and the one that bought the Thornes Brand, it already stopped working the summer before last.”

There was laughter filled with schadenfreude that filled the tavern.

“Ha, ha, he deserves it for being petty enough to buy those random brand Magic Air Conditioners. If you want to buy a household magic machine, it should be the Frestech Brand.”

“Un, old Johan, stop hesitating. You should take the chance that the hottest part of summer isn’t here yet to quickly buy it, or you won’t even be able to get one if you keep waiting.”

“Right, I read in the newspapers that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is engaging in promoting energy efficiency right now. As long as you exchange an old Frestech Brand household magic machine, you can get a discount. Old Johan, take these two Magic Fans back and you should be able to get a bit of a discount.”

“Really?” Old Johan looked at the two Magic Fans that were blowing and he lost some of the unwillingness in his heart.

He had already bought these two Magic Fans for over three years now and they’ve been with him for three years, never causing him any problems. He had already gotten used to them.

But thinking of how exchanging for a Magic Air Conditioner would make the tavern cooler and more comfortable, he could only reluctantly accept it.

He had already run this tavern for many years and although he had guests and his business wasn’t bad, he had never gotten rich.

Otherwise, he would have directly bought two Magic Air Conditioners.

Thinking of how much it would cost to buy the Magic Air Conditioners, old Johan came to the table of the customers that had just walked in.

“These customers, what do you want to order?”

Old Johan looked over them and with his experience of opening the tavern for many years, he could tell that these customers weren’t normal people.

Although they had just come in, they didn’t have any dust on their clothes or their shoes, looking completely clean. It could be seen that they used a decent method of transportation.

This was a small town that was not far from the border between the Drake Duchy and the Falk Kingdom. These guests clearly were not from the Drake Duchy, so they should be from the Falk Kingdom.

The Falk Kingdom didn’t have as many Magic Sedans as the Drake Kingdom, so their method of transport should by the traditional horse carriage that was clearly made from excellent materials without much decoration that was currently outside the tavern,

“Just bring a few dishes over.” A young man who had a normal looking face and looked to be around thirty waved his hand as he casually said this, “If you have some good wine, bring some over as well,”

“Alright, please wait a minute.”

Old Johan passed this onto the kitchen before taking out two bottles of good ale from the Magic Refrigerator behind the counter, bringing them over with a few cups.

“Yi?” These people looked at the bottles of ale and found a slight chill coming from them, even having a layer of frost over the bottle, revealing looks of surprise.

“Hey, boss, I never thought that an ordinary shop like yours would actually have an ice room.” A middle aged man who looked to be around forty couldn’t help giving this praise.

Without waiting for old Johan to reply, the man who had just urged old Johan to buy a Magic Air Conditioner turned over and gave a laugh.
