Chapter 30: I am not here to fight
Thus it started a round of talks and Aric was adamant of dropping the price, he wanted to make money for sure but also wanted everyone to get a taste of it. Each bottle cost him 5 Sora credits anyways and he had plenty to spare.
At the end following points were decided.
1. Each bottle would sell for 8 copper coins.
2. Aric would recieve 5 copper coins and Albert would recieve 3 copper coins.
3. They would need to buy a magical storage to keep the bottles cold which would cost them 80 copper coins.
Albert himself decided to buy one as he would be profiting for almost doing nothing. He would also have to buy the ice, which he would reimburse himself always. Aric didn’t bother with it as he would recieve the money upfront from Albert and only then he would recieve the bottles. Aric was happy with the arrangement and couldn’t wait for his days of luxury to start.
After some more talks about the the things they would need to do, both of them and Aric out of celebration gifted them each a bottle of coke. Both were beyond happy to have another one and thanked him profusely.
The sale would start in a few days as even though this was a medieval age, the food products such as drinks needed to be licensed. Drinks like wine would also go through scrutiny by the city administration and only then approved. And the same went for a drink such as Coke.
He promised to finish the process in a week and the coke would be in the market in the following week. Aric was not in a hurry as he could do his own work and research in this week. He had been running around a lot and needed to calm down a bit. Aric was also appreciative of the fact that Albert didn’t ask about the pizza.
Aric had seen enough two faced people in his previous life to trust anyone blindly, even if they were kind of him. He would always measure his steps and the road to luxury was always slow.
