How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 66

The three men, who hurriedly took the bread, began to spread strawberry jam like I did.

Everyone took a large bite of bread slathered in strawberry jam.

The moment they chewed the bread in their mouths, their feelings were revealed on their faces. 

“Warm bread goes very well with this strawberry jam.” 

“It's just a plain bread, but I feel like I'm eating new food.” 

“Did Sir. Ester invent this strawberry jam?” 

“I didn't invent it. It's a common dish in my place. Instead, I made it with special ingredients.” 

Strawberry jam given to three people was made with honey brought by the Bee friends. 

Comparing the honey strawberry jam with sugar, the strawberry jam with honey certainly tasted thicker and deeper. 

“Even if there's a magic spell, it's hard to store strawberries for a long time, isn't it? If you make it into jam, it's easier to store.” 

“Oh. It's not just good taste, but it also has an advantage.”  

“Unlike purely admiring Lagos. Ergin and Algott's eyes shone fiercely at the moment when they heard the explanation. 

It was the eyes of a merchant who had caught the prey. 

The two merchants quickly noticed each other's intentions and engaged in a silent war of nerves, looking into each other's eyes. 

“Hmm, Sir, are you willing to sell this strawberry jam?” 

“No, I didn't make it for sale this time. I made it so that I can share it with people around me. But don't worry. I'll give you a few bottles separately since you came from afar.” 

Algott's expression got clouded by my words, and then brightened up again when I said I would be giving him some bottles of strawberry jam. 

Ergin asked me a question as if he could not lose. 

“Then, do you have any plans to make and sell strawberry jam in the future?”

“Well, it was so hard to make strawberry jam even this time… I don't think I can make it myself.” 

From washing clean to stirring it while boiling it, there were many cumbersome and difficult things. 

It wouldn't matter if I made enough to eat, but I thought it would be impossible to make enough to sell. 

“Well… it's hard for me to make it myself. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a separate facility for making strawberry jam.” 

The eyes of the two merchants became fierce once again. 

“If you're going to build a facility, you'll need an architectural technician again. In addition, experienced mechanical and equipment technicians will be useful.” 

“A workshop with excellent glass making skills has signed a contract with the Orphine Chamber of Commerce. If you need it, we will provide a glass complex for strawberry jam.” 

“There is also a glass workshop that has signed a contract with the Golden Clock. It's a workshop that supplies goods to Demon Lord castle.” 

“Hehe! Sir, you shouldn't be fooled by such useless information. It's not that hard to deliver goods to Demon Lord castle, and just because it's supplied there, it doesn't mean that Demon Lord uses them. “

“Hoho. Seeing you're trying so hard to undermine it, the Orphine Chamber of Commerce is not confident in its craftsmanship.” 

“What do you mean not confident in skills? What nonsense are you talking about?” 

Once again, I intervened and mediated the overheated war of nerves. 

“Now, now, both of you, calm down. I haven't decided to have a strawberry jam facility yet.” 

“Hmmm…” 

“Oh! I'm going to go prepare some food ready again. I'll bring it to you later, so please take your time.” 

Lagos, who was left alone in the cold atmosphere of the table, looked at me resentfully. 

Children gathered little by little around the smell of bread baked in the oven. 

They were the ones who tried to get candy earlier. 

I welcomed the children who drooled at the savory smell of bread. 

“Here you are, children, Do you want to try the sandwich I just made? There's also delicious strawberry jam.” 

“But… ?” 

“We don't have the money to buy it. Strawberries are an expensive food,” 

I replied to the helpless children with a smile. 

“Don't worry, it's not for sale. I'll give it to you for free.” 

“Wow, really?” 

“Will you really give it to us for free?” 

“Yes, I told you earlier that I prepared something more delicious than candy.” 

“Wow!” 

The children cheered and gathered in front of me. 

I handed out the pre-prepared strawberry jam sandwich and strawberry cookies one by one 

Lia poured the milk she had prepared in a large container to the children, and Andras and Alfred were in charge of chores such as cleaning up and washing dishes. 

“If you haven't eaten yet, wait a little longer. I'll make it in no time.” 

Bread and cookies were baked constantly in the oven, and I kept making sandwiches with Beast-women aunts who came to help. 

Even though I had prepared ingredients for the sandwich in advance, I had to move my hands very busily. 

“It's really good, Candy Uncle!” 

“Strawberry Prince is the best!” 

“Wow. I've already eaten it all…”

A smile formed around my mouth, when I saw the children enjoying and eating deliciously. 

“What are you doing?”” 

“ Oh. It's been a long time since I saw you, Raccoon grandpa.” 

“I heard a lot of noise from the store. Did you start a business in the village?” 

“No. I made a new strawberry jam, and I wanted to show the village children the taste. Do You want to try one Racoon grandpa.?” 

I quickly finished a strawberry jam sandwich and handed it to Racoon grandpa. 

The expression of Racoon grandpa, which was initially sullen, changed as soon as he took a bite of Sandwich. 

“Is this sweet and sour strawberry jam? It's totally different from eating strawberries.” 

“Does it taste good?” 

“Oh! If there's something this good, you should bring it to the village's elder first!” 

“Old man! Are you being mean to innocent Sihyeon again?” 

Reville showed up criticizing Racoon grandpa. 

“Who's being mean… I'm just teaching manners.” 

“Are you stealing food from children this time.?” 

“Don't worry Revellie. I already it to all the kids in the village.” 

“Hey Revellie, what do you think of me.? Why would I steal the children's share?” 

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“It's because the old man is usually mean to me, would I do that for no reason?” 

I smiled awkwardly at the sight of the two quarreling. 

“Would you like to have some Reville? The sandwiches and cookies are really delicious.” 

“I'll appreciate it if you give them to me. Oh! I'm sorry, but can you make a share for Heron and Greg, too? The two of them had a hard time patrolling today.” 

“Of course. Please wait a little bit.” 

I gave Reville three freshly made sandwiches and plenty of cookies. 

Since then, many villagers have visited and enjoyed food made of strawberry jam. 

Elder Poco, who helped a lot in making a strawberry field, villagers who come out to work in the field every day, and merchants who came to Elden Village to buy strawberries. 

I gave out food to everyone regardless. 

When I was almost out of ingredients. Miru, the cat girl, came to see me. 

“Candy Uncle.” 

“Miru. Where were you? All your other friends have already received their sandwiches and cookies.” 

“I'm sorry I'm late. Can you still give it to me?” 

“Okay. Wait a minute.” 

“Well… Uncle.” 

“Huh?” 

“I'd like to bring it to my mom at home, too. Can I get my mother's share?” 

Miru's mom? Come to think of it, I've never met Miru's family. 

I remember meeting face to face with most of the Elden villagers, but I have never met Miru's family. 

The fact felt a little strange, but it didn't matter. 

“Of course. Wait a minute.” 

I quickly made a sandwich out of leftover ingredients and handed it with a cookie. 

“Thank you. Uncle!” 

“Yes. Enjoy the meal with your mother.” 

With Miru as the last one, all the ingredients prepared for today have been finished. 

It was harder to prepare food than I thought, but I felt proud whenever I saw a happy smile of everyone after tasting the food. 

I thanked the aunts and baker for their hard work. 

And I took the strawberry jam that had left to the promised group. 

“Ho-ho, thank you for the strawberry jam Sir. Ester. Please call me again if this happens again.” 

Everyone left and all that's left was the farm members. 

Lia was hugging Speranza, who had already fallen asleep, and Alfred sat with an exhausted look on his face. 

“Was it hard?” 

“Ugh… I think it would be easier to practice sword.” 

“You did a great job.Ah… Where's Andras?” 

“He went to talk to the merchant that visited earlier.” 

Andras was talking to Ergin in the direction Alfrid pointed. 

Algott came up to me first since he had finished talking to Andras.

“Are you done with what you were doing?” 

“Yes, I'm out of ingredients now.” 

“If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?” 

“Yes please.” 

“Why did you give free food to the villagers? Rather, if you had sold it to a merchant, you would have made a lot of money.” 

I could feel his sincerity in his question. 

I scratched my head and answered whatever came to my mind. 

“There's no particular reason. Strawberries have become so expensive that I don't see the villagers eating them comfortably.” 

“…?” 

“Rather than making a lot of money. It's better to see people around me enjoying strawberries and being happy. So this time, I made food and distributed it for free.” 

Algott stared at me with a look of uncertainty. 

“Sir. You are a lot stranger than I thought.” 

“….??” 

“I've never met anyone like you in my career as a merchant. If you were offended, I apologize.” 

I don't know if I should be angry or upset about that. 

I just nodded my head calmly.

“I've been served delicious food and strawberry jam, as a gift, I'll tell you what I've heard recently.” 

He came very close to me and whispered slightly in my ear. 

“The Selberg family is collecting information about you Sir. The family is not very well-reputed, so you'd better watch out.” 

The Selberg family? I think I've heard of it before. 

I couldn't remember clearly. 

“I'm going home for the day. I hope we can talk more about strawberry jam next time.” 

Algott bowed and left with a polite greeting. 

Then Alfred came up to me and asked, 

“Senior, what did that merchant say?” 

“Well… he didn't say much. But Alfred…..”

“What Senior?” 

“Am I strange to you?” 

Alfred answered my question immediately, as if it was natural. 

“Don't you know that? It's not just simple weird, you're the epitome of weird.” 

I asked back with a shocked look on my face 

“What? Am I that weird?” 

Alfred shrugged his shoulders cheekily and went to clean up the rest of the mess by himself. 

I looked toward Lia's side. 

But she smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
