That Thing

Travis: Ah, that thing you're looking for.. It's actually arrived this morning.

Ethan: Whatt???!! You should say it faster.

I rushed to the house, reaching the door with eager anticipation. My eyes were fixed on the table where several crates sat, waiting eagerly. With excitement, I quickly opened the cloth covering the crates to see treasures lay inside. I was familiar with the white liquid in the bottles, in this world milk is known as Lej. As I cautiously approached the pink stone, I reached out to touch the stone, feeling its smooth texture beneath my fingertips. The faint aroma of sweetness filled the air, tickling my nose. Excitement filled my young heart as I held the pink stone, knowing it held the potential to add a delightful burst of flavor to my day.

Ethan: (licking the stone) Fuuuu, it's so sweet! I love it!

Sarah: (concerned) Ethan, please don't lick the stone. It's not meant to be eaten directly.

Ethan: (excitedly) Mom, you won't believe it! With this and the Lej, I can finally perfected the Bonbu cake recipe! Woohooooo!

My mom stood there with a smile on her face, observing me, her young son dance around with the pink stone in hand. As I danced around with the pink stone, lost in my own world of excitement, a sudden shout from outside our house startled me. I look outside to see Ferman and Mr. Quinto, along with two unfamiliar faces.

Ferman: (with a smile) Hey, Ethan! I'm guiding Mr. Quinto and his companion to your house.

Ethan: (surprised) Oh Thank you, Ferman. Hello, Mr. Quinto and...?

Mr. Quinto introduced Mr. Cedric and his assistant Mr. Reginard to me. Mr. Cedric is a merchant hailing from Tradehaven, currently on a quest to discover new resources. My mom approached me and discreetly glanced at the visitors.

Ethan: (whispering) Mom, those are Mr. Cedric and his assistant, Mr. Reginard. They're merchants from Tradehaven.

My mom asked me to welcome them into the house while we waited for my dad. I led them to the sofa that I newly created, and my mom graciously served them refreshing fruity twist and with some Bonbu cake. I noticed my dad walking towards us, holding some tools in his hands. He greeted them with a warm smile and went to wash his hands. Soon, all of us gathered around.

Mr. Quinto: Mr. Cedric is my former employer. He is one of the top merchants in Tradehaven.

Travis: Mr. Cedric, you're a merchant from Tradehaven? What brings you to our village?

Mr. Cedric: We've come to inquire about purchasing some raw oil crop and I'm currently on a quest to explore and discover new opportunities for trade.

Travis: That's interesting to hear. I hope you find what you're looking for during your quest in our village.

Mr. Cedric: I must say Mr. Travis, I'm truly impressed with your son creation. The swing he crafted; It caught my eye the moment I saw it.

Mr. Reginard: This snack is quite tasty, I must say. Mrs Sarah cooking is absolutely amazing.

Sarah: (smile) I merely followed my son's recipe as he was the one who came up with these.

Mr. Quinto and Mr. Cedrid: (in unison) Did you make this cake, Ethan?

Mr. Quinto: Not only are you skilled with wood, but now you're also adept at creating food!

Ethan: It from Bonbu fruit... so it’s a Bonbu Cake

I can see their astonishment was evident as they tried to comprehend how such a young child could come up with such a culinary creation. I'm sorry guys, but this modified recipe is using the knowledge from my previous life.

Mr. Cedric: I can't believe someone your age could create something like this.... fu fu fu it’s delicious.

Ethan: It was a fun trial in the kitchen...and mom helped me a lot during the process.

Mr. Cedric glanced at Mr. Quinto and shifted into a serious expression, entering business mode.

Mr. Cedrc: With the permission of Mr. Travis and Mrs. Sarah. Ethan, do you have any interest in doing business with me?

Ethan: I'd be more than happy to discuss the contracts.

Mr. Cedric: Wonderful to hear, Ethan! We are impressed with your hairclip creation and and this Bonbu cake.

Ethan: I'm honored that you find my creations valuable.

Mr. Cedric intrigued by my two creations. He would like to begin with a trial order of 500 hairclips to gauge the market in Tradehaven. We are negotiating the terms, including a fair price per unit and establishing a payment schedule upon delivery. Additionally, I requested some tools to aid in the preparation process.

As for the Bonbu cake, After perfecting the Bonbu recipe with the new ingredient; I am willing to sell it to them on the condition that they exclusively sell it under the brand name "Treebrook." I yearned for the recognition of Treebrook's name whenever someone tasted our Bonbu cakes. Mr. Quinto and Mr. Cedric will be selling the Bonbu cakes in their respective territories to ensure the cakes' freshness while I'll supply them with the main ingredient. We've agreed on a 3-year contract, and we'll renegotiate it after that period. As Mr. Quinto stand up from the seat where he sat, he couldn't help but express his delight.

Mr. Quinto: This is so comfortable.

I nodded with a grin and explained to him the concept of the sofa, which was similar to a bed mattress, but this time filled Aurelia's Veil part. Mr. Quinto's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but comment on the unique design of the sofa. In this world, furniture was typically crafted from wood or metal and embellished with precious gems for decoration. The use of the Aurelia Veil ingredient to create such a comfortable sofa was truly an innovative and refreshing approach.

Mr. Quinto: I believe we can sell it

Mr. Cedric: The uniqueness and comfort of this sofa could certainly appeal to customers looking for something different.

Mr. Reginard: We can showcase it as a special and exclusive item in our collection.

Mr. Quinto: (grinned) Let's give it a try then! We can create a small batch and see how the market responds.

As the excitement around selling the Aurelia Veil sofa grew, a wave of panic washed over me. I hadn't documented the blueprint or taken note of the intricate details during the creation process. It was simply an experimental project born out of curiosity and fun.Trying to hide my inner turmoil, I cleared my throat nervously and spoke up

Ethan: Wait, hold on a moment. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I must admit something. It was more of an experiment, and I didn't document the specifications.

Mr. Quinto and Mr. Cedric exchanged puzzled glances, and Mr. Quinto raised an eyebrow. I feeling a bit embarrassed.

Ethan: I don't have a proper writing set to record everything accurately.

Mr. Cedric:Reginard, could you kindly prepare a gift of a proper writing set for Ethan?

Reginard: Of course, I'll get it ready right away.

Travis: Wait... We truly appreciate your support, Mr. Cedric, but we don't want to burden you with the cost of this pricey writing set.

Mr. Cedric: Think of it as an investment in Ethan talents and the potential of his projects.

Ethan: Thank you so much for your generosity. I'll make sure to put this writing set to good use.

Mr. Cedric: I hope this helps you with your future creations, Ethan

Ethan: Once I receive the writing set, I'll create a blueprint of the sofa, register the creation, and inform you about it.

As we bid farewell to our visitors, Mr. Cedric seemed genuinely delighted and praised my business acumen when I proposed an idea how to promote the Bonbu cake. By suggested offering free samples to customers, which was an old but effective business tactic back on Earth. He appreciated the strategy and saw the potential in attracting more customers through the delightful taste of the cake.
