Gaming For Loots in Ancient Era

Counter Proposal

Let’s do this fast. We can only have the private room for 3 hours at most.” Jonas sips the tea and slowly puts the tea cup down. For 1 silver, he can rent the private room for 3 hours and free tea only if it was not a rush hour. It will be 3 hours before people will start coming to the tea house to dine.

There are other restaurants around but tea houses also have their signature dishes that makes them half a restaurant at peak hours.

Jonas stares at Ereo.

Truthfully, he also heard a lot of bad things about Ereo.

And he doesn’t even have a good relationship with other people due to his nature. But suddenly this guy became more animated after his brother saved him after he jumped into the river.

What makes Jonas confused is their brother’s favor towards him.

Even Eros who are usually so naive can feel the preferred treatment their brother Claus gives this man.

It was not obvious to unrelated people but Claus is not so free as to always run around the village and promise dates here and there. But even last night, their brother left to find wild fruit in the mountain and he even went deeper in the mountain for it.

Why?

Just a few bamboo shoots? They have bamboo in the mountains too. It is not that rare of a delicacy but Claus insists on going to find him a wild fruit for Ereo.

Jonas thinks his brother has feelings for this man. It is not clear if he likes him enough to marry but it's a very rare emotion from the always unbothered and cold Claus. 

Even if it was not clear, Jonas wants to believe in the man his brother chooses to be close with. And it was obvious that this man was also trying to get close to them for the sake of his brother.

“I already put everything away. I ask Aunt Lulu to hide our stuff first. So?” Eros sat down arrogantly with his arm folded. “What can you show us?”

Ereo smiles.

He takes one basket and takes out the white cloth covering the content of the basket.

“I have things I want you to sell. But what I want is equal cooperation. I will provide you materials and you provide the service and in the end, we will split our earnings minus the initial costing of the materials I use to make the product.” He said as he put everything down.

The first one is a round small pottery with a lid, inside is the cookies from the tin can he won before. Then the eclair, donut, croissant with vanilla filling inside, cup cake, pancake and strawberry crepe in a paper box.

The two look at the strange yet beautifully packaged items on the table.

“What are these?” Eros pointed.

“These small boxes contain different sweets. Please open them and have a taste.” Ereo said confidently.

“Well..” Eros looks at Jonas and Jonas nods.

First they opened the cookie jar.

“Oh.” Jonas moves his face away as the cookie crumbles in his mouth and his hand.

The sweet sensation of the sweetened flour melting in his mouth and the unique taste of baked goods. 

‘It was quite simple in taste, there must be egg..and also milk..’even though they are not rich Jonas was able to have a drink of goat milk though it has a bit of a strange after taste on it. He can always remember a food he has tasted at least once even though it’s not very clear.
