Chapter 33: 33-Hamburgers sold out...

'Looks like the food is ready.'

As the desert people left, a woman from a neighboring stall called out to us.

Yes, it's ready! Come on, buy our burgers!

Ira responds with a package of hamburgers, just as if he had been waiting for it.

'Okay. How much?

Four coppers.

'Four coppers! Isn't that a lot for a sandwich?''

We're not just making sandwiches. Come on, give me four coppers like you promised!

'I don't have a choice. I'll complain if it doesn't taste good.

The lady hands the copper coins to me looking a bit chagrined, and Ira accepts them with a beaming smile.

The women's aggression is a bit frightening.

But this is a good opportunity to ask them what they think of the taste. The first time the desert people bought the coins for me, I couldn't see their faces clearly because of their hoods. I guess they liked it because they thanked me, but I would like to see a clear reaction.

The hamburger was highly praised by all the guests of the inn, but what about the sister?

'Wow, it looks pretty tasty. Well then, let's get started...'

As Ira and I stared at her, she unwrapped the package and took a bite of the hamburger.

What?

His eyes widened and his words seemed to leak out.

'How do you like it? How does it taste?

It's so, so, so good!

Ira laughed happily at her sister's truly surprised impression.

What do you think of our hamburgers!

I'm sorry I called it a sandwich. The hamburger is very tasty. I wouldn't mind paying four coppers for such a good taste.

It seems that our hamburgers were worthy of your sister's approval.

She mentioned the name "hamburger" instead of "sandwich.

Ira was very pleased with this change, and I was happy too.

Yay! It seems our hamburgers are working at the food stall.

There he is! It's Tori!'

As Ira and I were happy to see him, Ralph came toward us.

Behind him are Sheik and Hermina as usual, but there are also some unfamiliar men and women.

'Tori! I'm here for the burgers!''

'Thank you, Hermina. Are those people behind you your friends?'

Yes, we are fellow adventurers. I brought them here to feed them Tori's hamburgers.''

Hermina then points to the fellow adventurers behind her.

They are a male wolf beast, a female elf, and a human male. It seems that they have taken the trouble to bring their fellow adventurers with them.

We are glad to see them, since we could have had breakfast at the inn. In this world where the internet is not as widespread as it was in my previous life, word of mouth is the best advertising tool.

I really appreciate it.

'You brought me here so early in the morning, I hope the food is really tasty?

The beastman says somewhat indolently as he crosses his arms.

Well, I guess it's understandable that he would think so after being brought here so early in the morning.

Don't worry, I assure you!

'Well, what guarantee would Ralph give me?

Ralph, you say everything tastes good when there's meat.

'That's not true!

Sorry, Ralph. That's the way I see Ralph.

But I didn't want to say anything else, because it would only be a disadvantage if I did.

I assured him that he had to try it. I'll buy you a drink today!''

'......I'll eat it if Hermina says so.'

Helmina looked up at him somewhat, and the beastman nodded his head, though he had a pouty look on his face.

Hermina must be more solid and trustworthy than Ralph and Sheik, who were both a lot of fun.

'Well, then, Tori, we'll take our share of the burgers, too, for six!

'Okay! But I can't make a lot at once, so can you wait for just two people?

After handing the burgers to the woman at the stall, I prepared and grilled the patties, but could only cook four at a time.

I had two left over from earlier, but I wanted them to be freshly made anyway, so I decided to save them for lunch for Ira and me.

'Well then, save some for Ralph and Sheikh for later.

''Okay.''

''Hey!

Ralph and Sheikh rush in with their beautiful voices in unison, but I ignore them and get ready.

After making sure that the steamed patties are thoroughly cooked, I place them one after another on the bread that Ira has prepared for me.

From there, Ira does the same with the toppings, and finally, I pour the sauce over the toppings and sandwich them between the bread.

I wrap them up so that they are easy to hold, and they are done.

Yes, four hamburgers for sixteen coppers.

Yes, that's a bit expensive! But, if it tastes this good, I guess so. ......'

When I told her the price, Helmina was surprised, probably because it was higher than she had imagined.

Then, looking a little pained, she takes out a silver and a copper coin from her purse.

I guess this is a little cold for bringing a new customer on the first day.

But since you brought me three new customers this time, I'll deduct three copper coins and give you thirteen.

'I'll bring ten friends next time, won't that make it eight?'

Helmina's expression changed with a start and she offered a further discount.

'Hey, come on, you're offering a discount when you say you'll buy me a drink!

'I have to save money now. I don't have time to worry about your shame or your reputation!

The beastman is taken aback, but Helmina doesn't care.

She is indeed the financier of the party of adventurers, and she is a very skillful and desperate negotiator.

Bringing in a dozen new clients is quite a big deal, considering what will happen later on. And this is only the first day of business.

The price is a bit aggressive, four coppers for a bread dish. For now, they just need to get people to taste the food and realize that the taste is worth the price.

If it is Ralph, I doubt if I can really bring him here, but if it is Hermina, who is popular among all, it is quite possible.

'Okay, but without using the innkeeper's guests...'

Tori's a real stand-up guy. We have a deal.

I receive eight coppers from Hermina and hand her a hamburger wrapped by Ira.

This is not a lot of money, but it is a good investment.

While I prepare patties for Ralph and Sheik, Hermina passes the hamburgers to the fellow adventurers she has brought with her.

Try it!

''Oh.''

Surprisingly, the beastman was the first to eat when Hermina recommended it.

He bared his sharp fangs and took a hearty bite.

While the elf and the human man stare at him, the beastman barks.

Yum!

'Right? See, I told you.

'Oh, my God, this meat. It's so juicy!

The beastman gobbles up his hamburger in amazement.

The pouty look on his face is gone, and he eats with a passion.

Oh, it's true. It's delicious!

The crispiness of the lettuce is amazing. The vegetables are handled well.'

Then came the words of a man and an elf.

The elf especially seemed to like the combo of king lettuce and bouquet lettuce that Hurt had selected.

Gosh, it looks delicious! Tori, please make one for us soon!

'I haven't eaten anything since this morning, so I'm hungry.

Ralph and Sheik moan like zombies in front of me as I look at them with satisfaction.

It must be hard to be left alone while they eat so deliciously in front of you.

Wait a little longer. I'm in the middle of baking.

Oh, you're very popular for your first day. I thought I would comfort Tori when she was sad because of the lack of sales.

'No, no, you can eat such delicious food. There should be a line out the door.

'......!

While I was frantically baking the p t to appease Ralph and Sheik, Natalia, Michal, and Urgus came over.

Apparently, the three of them had come to eat the burgers as promised.

More hamburgers were ordered for the three of us, and the adventurers that Hermina had brought with her also ordered more hamburgers. And then some of the dwarves and elves staying at the inn came to join us, and in no time at all the party had grown into a large group.

The beautiful Natalia, Michal, and the lanky Urgas attracted a lot of attention, and one or two people interested in the stalls at the end of the line came and lined up to buy food.

I was kept busy with the p t making process. It's a great scream of joy.

I didn't expect so many customers.

How about a juice to go with the burger? A refreshing, sour juice goes great with a burger!'

The lady running the stall next to us also took advantage of our situation and started selling juice to us.

Ralph, Sheik, and Helmina got the hamburgers and bought them, falling for the plan.

The lady at the stall gives a mischievous smile. She's a very good businesswoman.

Ira, please serve them.

Yes!

After baking the patties, he immediately puts them on the bread and leaves the rest to Ira.

Then Ira exchanges the finished products for money in that order.

Meanwhile, I put the next patty in the pan again, trying to spare a second.

When Ira finishes handing out the burgers, he makes small talk with the next customer who is waiting.

I'm really glad I asked Ira to help. If it had been just me, I would have had a flat tire. It is quite difficult to handle the tasks of serving, paying the bill, and serving the customers while cooking.

Thanks to Ira for offering to help.

Tori, get more hamburgers for five people!

'Wow, okay!

We had planned to focus on getting to know people rather than selling, but with the help of the guests at the inn, we sold out fifty hamburgers before lunchtime.
