Chapter 48
This food cart is usable.
*
It’s not like we’re going to make ramen, so there’s no need for that much functionality and strength. There’s no need to withstand the weight of a pot filled with hot water or soup, no need for the s.p.a.ce to house a large amount of tableware and ingredients, and no need to endure the weight that comes from the pouring of the soup or a customer’s elbow. There’s no need to pull it at high speed. It would be sufficient if the food cart had enough strength to not self-destruct. Unlike ramen stalls(yatai).
*
No, ramen stalls are works of art. I lately often use light motor vehicles, but the quality of ramen stalls are out of this world…
*
*
*
Anyway, I was thinking whether to buy it from somewhere or ask Kunz-san to make it, but just as I was considering how starting make it now would take time, there’s this happy happening. Fortunately, the product is popcorn which is sold by hand because it’s light and doesn’t require much strength from the food cart. In this case we can start selling immediately.
*
*
*
Un, alright. Let’s use a ca.s.sette stove!
*
A ca.s.sette stove is light and takes less s.p.a.ce, the risk of children getting burned is also lower.
*
Even if I suddenly die, at that point it would be enough to switch to a regular wood burning stove and at that time the shipment of the explosive species will be normally delivered from the Viscounty, so the orphanage will not suddenly lose this way to earn income.
*
And while the cart will be useful, this boy will also be useful!
*
*
*
“Hey, do you want to work for me?”
*
The words of recruitment finally restarted the boy and the director.
*
*
*
“W, what, d…….”
*
The boy is confused.
*
“U…m, that would be for the himemiko’s store, would it not?”
*
As expected of an old man’s wisdom, the director completely returned to business mode.
*
*
*
“No, not as a salesperson, I mean working as an engineer. For my Viscounty”
*
I turn my line of sight to the food cart as I say that.
*
The director has an “Ah” sort of convinced face.
*
Un, if you are a well-versed person, you would understand this child’s talent right.
*
*
*
“Leuk, what do you want to do?”
*
From the director’s words, the boy who seems to be called Leuk appeared to be thinking about something.
*
Ah, I thought that the two’s reply would be to jump at it
because of the usual behavior of the children.
*
*
*
After thinking for a while, that boy, Leuk finally answered.
*
“Ah, um, if Manon and Nelly can come together…”
*
*
*
Are you a riajū from somewhere!!
(tl note: Riajū is slang for a person who is satisfied with his or her offline life but is often used to refer to anyone who has a good amount of affection from the opposite s.e.x.)
