Chapter 19
"That"s it."
With a curious smile, I deliberately waved the cloth once.
“Wow! pretty! Pretty… Oops!”
I purposely made my grandfather and father look at the cloth that flutters in the air.
Pretending to do something wrong with my hand shaking while holding the cloth, I dropped the teacups in front of my father.
Tea water spread over the desk in an instant, and grandfather and father stood up in surprise.
Then, I dropped the Coroi fabric, which I was playing with, on the tea water in time.
"This……!"
My father was amazed, and once he hugged me, he put me down at a distance.
"Tia, are you okay? Didn"t hot water splash?"
My dad was distracted, worried that I would be burned, but I didn"t.
The expression of grandfather changed when he saw the coroi cotton fabric suck tea water in an instant.
“I"m sorry, Dad. I made a mistake."
“I hope you don’t get hurt.”
"Gallahan."
My grandfather called my father who shake off my clothes who got the tea splash.
Soon after, the eyes of my father turned around after seeing that the coroi cotton fabric was surprisingly good at absorbing water.
“Hoh, the absorption power is good.”
When my father grabbed the corner and lifted it, there was still water left, but most of the tea water has been absorbed by the fabric.
“If you use it well, it can be used in many places. When delivering to the dressing room, you should enclose a short instruction manual."
That would definitely be a good way, but it wasn"t enough.
I have a lot to do.
I quickly stepped in front of my father and said, touching the heavy fabric.
"Wow, this is so amazing, my dad made it! People will buy a lot, right? What if they fight to each other?"
When I talked as if I was worried, my father said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, well. People"s reactions are still unsatisfactory, but I hope it will be as Tia said."
"The reaction is not good? Why?"
"Because, uh....... I guess people do that because they don"t know much about this fabric yet."
Yes, Father! That"s the point!
I said, nodding my head bluntly at my father"s words.
“Wow……. It would be nice if people could use it in advance.”
"......What did you say now, Tia?""Dad said that. It"s because people don"t know much about this fabric yet. So...."
“Yes, yes……. Why didn"t I think about it earlier?”
My father muttered in thoughts whether he realized it with the hint I gave him.
As far as my father shared with my grandfather, the fabric has already been produced enough to sell.
In addition, weavers continue to produce quant.i.ties, so if you stack them up, they will only become stock.
It is much more beneficial to use fabrics that have already been made for publicity rather than paying the storage fee.
"The quality of the fabric is great, so if people can get in touch with it in advance,"
“That"s a good way. How about giving a prototype made of fabric to the n.o.bles who will be sold for free?”
It was also a grandfather.
The n.o.bles of the Lambrew Empire visit the dressing room, select raw materials, and designs according to their own perspectives, and make custom productions.
It was not only clothes but also cloth bedding and curtains.
So, rather than simply letting you see the fabric in advance, you can stimulate the desire to buy even more by showing things that can be made using fabric.
“But there wasn"t much time left until the sale started. It has to be a simple product to meet the expectations… .”
This is the time.
I grabbed the dry cloth next to me and gave it to my dad, saying.
“Make me a handkerchief, please!”
"Handkerchief?"
“It’s good because it’s soft! It would look so pretty if you cut it small and embroider it with small flowers in the corner here! I"m going to show off to Gilliu and Mayron!"
"Father… !”
When my father listened to me, his eyes flashed and looked at him.
Grandpa, who was touched his beard, nodded.
"Is it a handkerchief? It could be a good prototype."
“Why couldn"t I have come up with this way! I"ve seen a Durak top master cut and use fabric that he needs to wipe off his sweat, and he says it"s great and he keeps carrying it with him.”
Dad laughed and said.
“No special processing is required. All you need to do is dry it in moderation and iron it neatly. Ah! It would be nice to add some simple decorations!"
I had nothing more to help.
My dad began to spit out ideas without hesitation.
It wasn"t just a handkerchief.
Prototypes that could be made using the craftsmen he had right away poured out of my father"s mouth.
"I don"t think this is the time I"m doing this! Is that okay Tia....."
"Do not worry about Florentia, go home."
Originally, he was going to go home early after a long time and report to my grandfather before dinner.
My father took the fabric he had brought with him and told me.
"Tia, I"m sorry, but your dad has to go back to work. I think we should have dinner next time. What should I do?"
"It"s okay! Goodbye, Dad!"
I smiled and waved my hand in a happy heart.
After looking back a few times as if sorry, my dad ended up running out of the office.
There was a hand grasping my shoulder, who was gazing at it happily.
"Shall we have dinner with this grandfather today?"
Oh! This is an unexpected achievement.
I quickly nodded and answered.
"Yes, Grandpa! I want to eat meat again!"
* * *
"Huh huh, I didn"t know that our Florentia was eating so well."
"It"s so delicious!"
"Yes, eat a lot and grow taller."
This is a foul.
Of course, I knew that the chef who cooks my father and my food and the chef who cooks the food of my grandfather, the owner of the house, are different people, but that"s the difference!
I was so happy to chew on a soft, juicy steak.
In the future, I have more reasons to eat with my grandfather often.
"Eat your grandfather too!"
"This grandfather is full to see that you eat well."
When I finished the meat I had cut, my grandfather started hand-cutting my steak into sizeable pieces.
"I see a lot of your new side these days, Florentia."
"Cough... Yeah?"
"Didn"t the shy girl who was crying hit her cousin? And the one who always worries her father because she doesn"t eat well. And today .... "
The meat that went well seems to get stuck in the middle of the esophagus.
Have I ever been caught?
I tried to pretend it was okay, sticking the vegetables next to the meat and putting it in my mouth, keeping an eye out for it.
"Florentia."
"Yes, yes?"
"Now don"t worry."
I"m not sure what you"re talking about, but it didn"t seem like he is blaming me for a sudden change.
"Girl ...."
It seems you thought me brave when you looked at my back while laughing a little bitterly.
It seemed okay for now, so I turned around, putting a piece of meat that my father had cut into my mouth.
"Ah, it"s delicious! Hahaha......."
"Eat a lot. If you don"t have enough, I"ll bring more."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Fortunately, Grandpa hasn"t said anything since then.
I ended my meal normally by pushing the foods I eat well in front of me.
As I was tasting the fruit and sweet chocolate served for dessert, I felt the gaze of my grandfather who was staring at me again.
When I stopped eating, my grandfather asked in a subtle voice.
"Florentia, is there anything you want to have?"
"Do you want to gave it?"
Why do you suddenly ask me that?
"What do you usually like?"
"I... I like books."
I couldn"t figure out why, so I replied cautiously.
"It"s a book... ... ."
Grandfather, who had been thinking for a while rubbing his nice beard, said, flicking his fingers.
"Okay. You like books, so I can make a small library for you!"
"Ah, a library....... No way, a library?!"
Indeed, I said I like books, but what do you mean by building a library?
When I was surprised, my grandfather laughed.
"This is the birthday of Lulak"s youngest granddaughter.
"Oh, birthday!"
I forgot for a moment.
My birthday was approaching.
This is the birthday when my father offered to buy a mother horse and a baby horse for gifts.
I"ve been so busy these days that I was living without knowing how time was flowing.
"Oh, that"s why it was!"
As soon as I realized it was my birthday, I began to understand the behavior of these spoiled cousins.
"Why?"
"Larane, and Gilliu and Mayron wondered what color I like. Now I know why."
Grandpa laughed happily.
"It looks like our Florentia has become close to other cousins."
Can you say that it is close?
Still, compared to my last life, I was getting pretty close to my three cousins, so I nodded.
"Yes, it looks good. It looks very good."
My grandfather stroked my hair again, asking, shining in his eyes.
"So, what would a library look like as a birthday present?"
A library for an eight-year-old birthday present.
It was a scale that couldn"t be compared to his father"s pony suggestion last time.
"Well, then, can I only use it there?"
"If you want, I"ll do that."
In fact, it wasn"t a bad suggestion.
As my father got busy, I had a little time to spend alone, but from a while ago I was with them in Shananet"s residence with the twins.
So, any shape is good, so I felt that I needed a s.p.a.ce where I could quietly organize my thoughts and use it as a kind of office in the future.
But I shook my head.
"I also like a library that can only be used by me. 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?"
The grandfather, who opened his eyes wide for a moment, burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Please, please!"
Although I was looking at my grandfather while laughing with a pure face, my palms were sweaty due to tension.
Sooner or later, something happens that requires the help of my grandfather.
If I am rejected now, I have to find another way to ask my grandfather a favor.
"Did you know that it"s a much bigger birthday gift than asking to build a library?"
Also.
Grandpa didn"t scream.
"Is that so?"
As if I didn"t know that well, I laughed and trembled.
"Hmm...."
Grandpa looked at me with strange eyes for a while.
Then he said with a friendly smile.+
"Yes, let"s do that."
Ha, thank you.
I tried to swallow a sigh of relief and shouted out loud.
"Wow! Thank you, Grandpa!"
"I like you."
This provided the means for that time.
I enjoyed the sweetness of this moment as I picked and ate a grape in front of me.
