Another World Net Shop Master - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: The Grand Banquet
ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 BY GUTEZAGUTEREZ0980
“Ginjiro, can you make me something tasty?”
It is still daylight, but Master’s banquet has begun.
As the negotiations had already been settled, everyone was drinking a lot of ale.
The apprentices use knives to thinly cut the 36-month aged uncured ham requested by the master.
He smiled innocently, saying that he loved Prosciutto and whiskey.
Master ordered some delicious food, so I made something to go with the drink.
“For the time being, serve this to him.”
Ginjiro puts cheese and nuts on a plate and hands it to Milia.
Now what should I make? ……
First, Ginjiro took out a charcoal brazier and started a fire.
The fire was difficult to start, but one of the apprentices helped me start the fire.
Since the apprentice was willing to help me, I gave him the knife that came with the ham I bought as a thank you.
The knife was not well sharpened, but the material seemed to be good, and the apprentices were fighting over it the other day.
First, there’s the green onion-salt beef tongue that I stocked cheaply.
The beef tongue is cut into thick slices, grilled on charcoal, and topped with a generous amount of the onion and salt sauce.
The order for more beef tongue came in, so I just cut the beef tongue and let them do the rest on the charcoal grill.
I prepared plenty of onion and salt sauce on a separate plate and explained how to use the tongs, so they would do the rest on their own.
“I’m sorry I’m late. Ginjiro, this looks amazing.”
Finally, Harry and Edel return.
I tell them how the banquet started and tell Edel that I want the fruit platter to be served to that table.
I also tell them to let me know when the melon is cold.
“Um, excuse me. Our guest over there would like to order an ale.”
Apparently, the invited guests of the commercial guild wanted to drink ale too, since the banquet for Masters had started.
“The ale is brought in by the commercial guild, so what do you want to do, Milia?”
Milia asked me to sell her plastic cups, and I told her that Milia could use them as she wanted.
Since the whiskey uses ice, I decided to prepare it over here when they order it.
“Um… Excuse me. There is an adventurer here who heard that ice-cold fruit and ice-cold snacks are available.”
“I understand. Harry, help Milia.”
This visitor is an adventurer who visits the cathedral in Mainz every year at this time of year, and after hearing about the chilled fruit and icy treats from the deacon, he came all the way to the commercial guild.
Maybe deacon Reynold?
The first customer for the gorgeous shaved ice was an adventurer who I did not expect, but this man may be a famous adventurer as he was willing to pay a single small gold coin for it.
A glass bowl of thinly cut, fluffy ice.
“Place your favorite fruit on top of this ice. You can have as many kinds of fruits as you like. Next, sweet juice called condensed milk is poured over it, but if you want more, you can pour as much as you like on this. There are other syrups available, but we recommend this condensed milk, and you can adjust it to your liking.”
“It’s really hot here but ice is really coming out. This is something to look forward to.”
The adventurous man receives his shaved ice and talks with Edel, who topped it with fruit.
He takes a bite of the gorgeous shaved ice, which is topped with three slices each of mango and melon.
“This is …… good. The ice is cut horribly thin and this white cow’s milk stuff brings happiness to my mouth.”
He is saying something, but he seems to have no problem since he is eating it deliciously.
“Ginjiro, give me something to fill my stomach!”
A voice of urging flies out from Master.
I decided to leave this adventure customer to Harry as he ordered a refill of gorgeous shaved ice.
What would I make if I was told to make something to fill my stomach?
First, take the vegetables I bought from the grandma and rinse them in water.
Quickly cut them and then put them in ice water to cool.
Meanwhile, I mix miso and mayonnaise to make a dip, and the vegetable sticks are ready.
What did I find? When Ginjiro checked his item box, he found a sausage that Oliver, the head chef, had given him some time ago.
Ginjiro himself is a fan of boiling, but he decided to roast them on a charcoal grill because it would be a waste of time.
“I’ll leave the sausages here for you to grill and enjoy. And here are some vegetable sticks. They are delicious with these.”
Since the beef tongue was already gone, I collected the plate and replaced the net of the charcoal grill.
The sausage is delicious as it is, but let’s leave some mustard on the plate.
“Ginjiro-san, our guest over there would like to try the sausage, too.”
“Understood. I’ll light the charcoal charcoal stove, so wait a minute.”
“Ginjiro-san, there is a customer who wants to drink whiskey…”
“If one cup of silver coin is okay, You can have it.”
“Hey Ginjiro, we’re out of whiskey.”
“Give me ale”
“Harry-san, Edel-san, can I have some gorgeous shaved ice, please?”
“We’re almost out of ale.”
“Emilia, you’re eating too much.”( TLN: Lul)
“More ale, please.”
“Vegetables are over here and over there.”

In the garden of a commercial guild, many invited guests gathered to enjoy a summer festival dance.
It has been about three hours since Master’s entertaining, or rather banquet, started, but things have finally calmed down.
The gorgeous shaved ice was closed when all the fruit was sold out.
Since the unit price was high, we were hoping to sell just a few, but to our surprise, we sold eighty-four cups.
I was so busy that I had no time to wash dishes, so I purchased a lot of glassware from the Net store to cope with the situation.
Although I had to incur extra expenses, the sales of 84 small gold coins were tremendous.
I thought about buying fruit from the Net store since the fruit I had stocked so much was sold out, but I weighed my options since I would leave the fruit to Edel in the future.
Instead, I bought an iron plate at the Net store, made yakisoba noodles, and sold them all over the place.
Harry said it would be delicious if hamburgers were made with the yakisoba sauce, so I realized once again that Harry’s love for hamburgers is quite strong.
The ale and whiskey continued to sell like hotcakes.
Harry and I cooked the yakisoba, and Edel prepared the ingredients.
I used vegetables I had bought at Grandma’s place, but I regretted a little that I should have asked Grandma and her family to help us if we were going to have a yakisoba stall.
I didn’t expect to make yakisoba, so it was inevitable. ……
“Please eat, everyone. We will clean up after this dance.”
I made yakisoba noodles for the ladies from the commercial guild who were helping me, but they also asked if they could have something sweet as well.
I didn’t expect to be so busy, so I gave everyone who helped me without reluctance, yokan, cream puffs, konpeito, and many other sweet things from my item box.
I told them they could take any extras home with them, and they were all happy.
I told the receptionist’s girl how much I appreciated it, and she asked me to treat everyone at Hungry Bear again next time.
She said that when she bragged about the hamburgers and roll cake tower, everyone wanted to eat them, too.
I promised them that we would have a party in the near future.
“Ginjiro-sama, thank you for your cooperation. Together with Milia, who is in charge, I would like to thank you for this matter.”
The guild leader thanked me for securing a promise to have a sword made by Master for a gift.
I thought he would make it if asked, but I heard it was quite a tough negotiation.
“Would you like a drink?”
“I have to clean up, so just one drink.”
It was busy and tiring, but a lot of fun.
Lightly bump the cups filled with ice and whiskey and chant a word of magic that takes away the fatigue.
“Progit!”
TLN: Volume 1 complete. I’m sorry for the late update… damn headache.
