Chapter 38: You are a big deal
"Hahahah... We have sold 4000 bottles after the free raid ended and gained around 21 gold coins and some silver coins, so your share will be around 13 gold coins. But I will go the extra mile and give you 14 gold coins. I hope that is acceptable for you," Albert said.
"Uncle, I will be happy with 13 gold coins," Aric said as he tried to be as humble as possible.
"No, thanks to your drink, I also have a profit of 5 gold coins extra," Albert said. Aric didn’t show any emotions in his eyes or face when he heard that.
"You have no idea how precious a gold coin is, do you? A gold coin is enough for the rent of 3 months for me. And thanks to you, I now have a total profit of 14 gold coins myself. Someone who only makes a profit of 5 to 6 gold coins, a part of which also goes to the bakery, for the rent and the worker’s salary. And the fun part is I don’t even need to pay anyone from the new profits that I made," Albert said.
"You need to pay a bit more to your worker and make sure he is happy. Don’t be too greedy. Keep your friends and enemies rich, and find out which is which," Aric said.
"What? Where does that saying come from? And a child like you actually calls me greedy. You have got some balls, small man," Albert was sure that Aric had reiterated some kind of saying, but he had never heard such words before.
"One narcissistic guy," Aric mumbled under his breath, but those words didn’t reach the ear of Albert. But it looked like Albert liked the saying, and at the moment, he was too happy to even care what kind of rubbish words Aric was saying.
He gave the 14 gold coins to Aric, which he had converted the previous day.
"Two caravans came for taking the new batch of our cokes. They have ordered 6000 bottles. Can you make them?" Albert said. After the first sale went through, Albert, who had connections to caravans, knew they were interested.
