Chapter 19
'That's it.'
With an innocent smile, I deliberately waved the cloth once.
"Wow! it's pretty! Beautiful... Ups!”
I purposely made grandfather and father look at the rags fluttering in the air.
Pretending to do something wrong with my trembling hand while holding the cloth, I dropped the teacup in front of my father.
Tea water spread out onto the table in an instant, and grandfather and father stood up in surprise.
Then, I dropped the Coroi cloth, which I was playing with, on the tea water in time.
"Revelation……!"
My father panicked, and he immediately hugged me, he lowered me away from the table.
"Tia, are you okay? The hot water isn't splashed?"
Dad's distracted, worried maybe I'll get burned, but I'm fine.
Grandfather's expression changed when he saw the cotton coroi cloth suck the tea water in an instant.
“I'm Sorry, Dad. I made a mistake."
"I hope you're not hurt."
"God."
Grandfather called out to the father who was looking at my clothes that were splashed with tea.
Soon after, my father's eyes widened in shock after seeing that the cotton coroi cloth turned out to be very good at absorbing water.
"Hoh, the absorption is good."
When the father grabbed a corner and lifted it, there was still water left, but most of the tea water had been absorbed by the cloth.
“If this is used well, it can be very useful. When delivering these, you have to tell them."
That must be a good way, but it's not enough.
I have a lot of things to do.
I quickly stepped in front of my father and said, touching the heavy cloth.
"Wow, this is amazing, my father made it! People will buy a lot, right? What if they're fighting each other?"
When I spoke as if I was worried, my father said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, okay. People's reactions are still unsatisfactory, but hopefully as Tia says."
"The reaction is not good? Why?"
"Because, uh.......I guess people do that because they don't know much about this cloth yet."
Yeah, Dad! That's core!
I said, nodding my head frankly at my father's words.
"Wow……. It would be better if people could use it first. ”
"......What are you saying now, Tia?"
"Dad said so. That's because people don't know much about this fabric yet. So...."
"Yes yes……. Why didn't I think about it earlier?”
My father murmured in thought, was he aware of the clue I gave him?.
As far as I heard from my father and grandfather, the cloth was already produced enough to sell.
In addition, weavers continue to produce in large quantities, so that if stacked will only be in stock.
It is much more beneficial to use fabric that has been created for publicity than to pay for storage costs.
"The quality of the fabric is good, so it would be better if people could know it first,"
“That's a great idea. How about giving a prototype made of cloth to the nobles who will buy for free?”
That's my grandfather's advice.
The nobles of the Lambrew Kingdom visited boutiques, selected raw materials, and designed according to their own perspectives, and made special productions.
Not only clothes but also sheets and curtains.
So, rather than just letting them see the fabric first, we can stimulate the desire to buy even more by showing things that can be done using the fabric.
“But there is not much time left until the sale starts. It should be a simple product to meet expectations…. ”
The problem is time.
I grabbed the dry cloth next to me and gave it to my father, and said.
"Please make me a handkerchief!"
"Cutting?"
“Enak because it's soft! It will look really pretty if you cut it small and embroider it with a small flower in the corner here! I'll show it to Gilliu and Mayron!"
"Dad… !"
When father listened to me, his eyes sparkled and looked at grandfather.
Grandfather, who touched his beard, nodded.
"Cutting? That could be a good prototype."
“Why I didn't realize it! I have seen Master Top Durak cut and use the cloth he needs to wipe his sweat, and he said it was good and he kept bringing it.”
I laughed and said.
“No need special processing. All you need to do is dry it sufficiently and clean it. Uh! It would be nice to add some simple decorations!"
I have nothing more to help.
I started to get the idea out without hesitation.
It's not just a handkerchief.
The prototype that could be made using the craftsmen he had was directly gushing out from my father's mouth.
"I think it's time I did this! But Tia....."
"Don't worry about Florentia, go home."
Originally, dad would have come home early after a long time and reported to my grandfather before dinner.
My father took the cloth he was carrying and told me.
"Tia, I'm sorry, but your father has to get back to work. I think we should have dinner next time. What am I supposed to do?"
"It's okay! See you, Dad!"
I smiled and waved my hand with a happy heart.
After looking back a few times as if regretful, father finally ran out of the office.
There was a hand clasping my shoulder, which looked at me happily.
"How about we have dinner with Grandpa today?"
Oho! It's an unexpected achievement.
I immediately nodded and replied.
"Yes, Grandpa! I want to eat meat again!"
* * *
"Huh huh, I didn't know that Florentia we eat very well."
"It's so delicious!"
"Yes, eat a lot and grow taller."
This is a violation.
Of course, I know that the chef who cooked my father's and me's food and the chef who cooked grandfather's food, the owner of the house, was a different person, but the difference was huge!
I was very happy while chewing the soft and juicy steak.
In the future, I would like to have more reasons to eat often with my grandfather.
"Grandfather eat too!"
Type finish the meat I have cut, then grandpa starts cutting my steak into pretty big pieces.
"I've seen a lot of your new side lately, Florentia."
"Ohokay!... Yea?"
"Didn't that shy, crying girl hit her cousin? And who always worried about his father because he didn't eat well. And today ...."
The meat that goes well seems to get stuck in the middle of the esophagus.
Am I caught?
I tried to pretend I didn't know anything, stick the vegetables next to the meat and put them in my mouth.
"Florentia."
"Yes yeah?"
"Now don't worry."
I'm not sure what grandfather was talking about, but it doesn't seem like he's blaming me for the sudden change.
"Good boy ...."
It seems like grandfather thought of me as a good boy when you stroked my back while laughing a little bitterly.
It seemed like it was okay for now, so I turned around, stuffing the piece of meat that my grandfather had cut into my mouth.
"Ah, delicious! Haha......"
"Eat a lot. If it's not enough, I'll bring more."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Fortunately, Grandfather had not said anything since then.
I ended my normal eating by eating the food that was on the table eating well.
As I was tasting the sweet fruit and chocolate served for dessert, I felt grandfather's gaze staring at me again.
When I stopped eating, grandfather asked in a smooth voice.
"Florentia, is there something you want?"
"Something I want?"
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
"What do you usually like?"
"I love books."
I don't know why, so I replied carefully.
"Book hmm... ......"
Grandfather, who had been thinking for a moment rubbing his beautiful beard, said, flicking his finger.
"OKAY. You like books, so I can make you a little library!"
"Ah, library....... No way, library?!"
I told you I love books, but what does it mean to build a library!?
When I was shocked, my grandfather laughed.
"This is the birthday gift of Lulak's youngest grandson."
"Oh, it's my birthday!"
I forgot for a moment.
My birthday is near.
It is the birthday when the father offers to buy a mother horse and a baby horse for a gift.
I've been so busy lately that I've been living without knowing how time flows.
"Oh, that's why!"
As soon as I realized it was my birthday, I began to understand my cousin's strange behavior lately.
"what's wrong?"
"Larane, and Gilliu and Mayron were wondering what color I liked. Now I know why."
Grandpa laughed happily.
"It looks like our Florentia became close to another cousin."
Can I just say we're close?
Still, compared to my last life, I was quite close to my three cousins, so I nodded.
"Yes, it looks good. It looks so good."
Grandfather stroked my hair again, asking, with a gleam in his eyes.
"So, what kind of library look does Tia want as a birthday present?"
A library for a child's eighth birthday present.
It was a scale that could not compare to my father's pony advice last time.
"Then, can I just use it there?"
"If you want, I'll do it."
Actually, that's not bad advice.
When dad was busy, I had too much time to spend alone, but from a while ago I was at Shananet's residence with the twins.
So, it's a nice gift, I feel like I need a space where I can calmly organize my thoughts and use it as some kind of office in the future.
But I shook my head.
"I also like libraries that only I can use. Please give me a different gift for this birthday, Grandpa."
"Something else? Tell me about it."
"It's not big. Please accept my request later."
"Request?"
Grandfather, who opened his eyes wide for a moment, laughed out loud.
"Haha! Help, help!"
Even though I looked at my grandfather while laughing with an innocent face, my palms were sweating from tension.
Sooner or later, something will happen that I will need Grandpa's help.
If I get rejected now, I'll have to find another way to ask grandfather for help.
"Are you that it's a much bigger birthday gift than asking to build a library?"
thas right.
Grandpa was not angry.
"Is that so?"
As if I didn't know that well, I laughed and trembled.
"Hmmm...."
Grandpa looked at me with strange eyes for a while.
Then he said with a friendly smile.+
"Yes, let's do it."
Thank ye.
I tried to swallow a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.
"Wow! Thank you, Grandpa!"
"i love you."
This will be very helpful in the future.
I enjoyed the sweetness of this moment as I picked up and ate the grapes in front of me.
