Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 17

Now I’m puzzled . How should I bring this green bore home? From the looks of it, it must weigh at least 300 kilos. Even if I were to “strengthen” my body, I  would never be able to  carry it to home.

I’m so tired of ……. I guess I should have brought a cart.

However, there was nothing I could do about the things I didn’t bring. I’ll just dismantle it and throw away the worthless parts like the organs and legs. I had a leather bag, so I would only bring back the bare minimum of materials.

I took out a leather bag and a knife made by Mei from my pouch, and began to dismantle the green bore while keeping an eye on my surroundings.

I can directly feel the blade slicing through the skin of the demon.

This is the first time I’ve ever dismembered an animal, including in my previous life.

I have some knowledge about it. You can find books on how to dismantle demons in the study of the frontier count’s house. But it seems that knowing how to do it and actually doing it are two different things. I couldn’t cut the meat and skin as I had expected, which was quite annoying.

It’s amazing how skilled hunters and adventurers can dismantle this in an instant.

The same goes for butchers, fishmongers, and chefs. are the same way. Professional knives and dismantling scenes are so vivid that I never get tired of watching them. In contrast, this is my first time dismantling a piece of meat from …….

Oh, …….

The murder scene was splendidly horrific. No, it wasn’t murder because it was a boar that was dismembered, but in any case, it wasn’t a scene that a six year old should be exposed to.

Guts were strewn about, a red pool was spreading, and the smell of iron filled the air. , and there seems to be an aura of horror in the air.

Let’s go home as soon as possible. It might even attract other demons to the area.

The smell of dead demons can be a bait to attract other demons looking for meat. There is no other choice but to get OUT of this place as quickly as possible.

I hurriedly stuffed the green boar’s fangs, fur, fillets, loin and other valuable parts into my leather bag. I had to be very selective since I couldn’t bring back the entire 300-plus kilogram behemoth, but thanks to my efforts, I was able to bring back only the most delicious parts of the meat, so the taste was quite promising. As for the fur and tusks, since it was the first demon I had ever hunted, I would give them for  craftsmans  and keep  that  as a souvenir.

Even though I carefully  put value part in the leather bag, it still weighed about 40 kilos, so I used   “body strengthening” before carrying it on my back. But still, heavy things are heavy. No matter how much I had strengthened  my body with magic, 40 kilograms was still too heavy for a six-year-old kid .

I made a firm decision that next time I would get a cart or something before I came.

✳︎

“Where , did you catch this, Hal?

“Eberhard, are you serious?

“Oh, boy, ……

‘Hal’………..’

“Hal, wow!’

That was amazing.

When I got home and took the meat to the kitchen, Mom, Dad, the chef, Alisa, my sister and brother were all surprised. After all, it was weigted  40 kilograms. With the tusks and fur, the meat was actually about 30 kilos, but it was still a lot. A family of six would never be able to eat it all. Even if we provided enough food for all the servants of the Fahrenheit family

“Chef, I want you to serve this to the servants as well.”

“You don’t mind?　Such a fine piece of meat is something we rarely get to eat.”

“Well, I suppose it’s a perk.”

“If you say so, we will be very grateful. will prepare the best peony meat dish.”

“The day after tomorrow?　Not today?”

“Yes. For example, fish tastes better when eaten on the same day, but meat has a deeper flavor when it is  stayed for some time ”

“Oh, I see.”

Green Boars are in season right now, so the aging time is relatively short. The fat has been removed over the winter, and the meat is now gradually gaining fat from the blessings of spring. The meat is tight and has a marbling of melted fat that complements it, making it the most delicious.

“Oh, ……”

All the family members who heard the chef’s explanation let out a squeal of admiration, their eyes shining with anticipation.

But that’s  for the night after tomorrow.  Today we’ll have sautéed Sius fish with salt.

“Sius fish. I like that fish, it’s delicious.”

Sausage fish is a large freshwater fish, about a meter long, that lives in the rivers and lakes that flow through Farenheit. family grounds  As a river fish, it has a rather bland taste, but it is very tasty when grilled with a sprinkle of salt.

“I will begin the aging process immediately. Excuse me.”

With that, the chef took out a knife and began to carefully cut out the meat that I had roughly processed. In front of the meat in its best condition, the chef seemed to be so focused that he couldn’t  notice his surroundings.

“Well, let’s get back to it.”

At my father’s signal, we left the kitchen. We couldn’t stand in the way of the chef.

Then I remembered something and called out to my father.

“Hey, Dad. I wonder if there’s a cart somewhere. Or even a horse-drawn cart?”

A cart. I’m sorry, I don’t know where that is. s, but I’m sure the trustees do. You’ve got my permission, so do what you want.

All right. Thanks.

The property manager is in the servants’ hall’s property department. I’m sure i can borrow it from them if i ask them. The green boa I brought back today weighed 40 kilos, but I had already thrown away about 260 kilos. An 85% loss is a lot.

So, if possible, I would like to bring back the whole animal. I don’t want to dismantle them on site because it’s too dangerous and more importantly, too much trouble.

This is where a cart comes in handy. With a cart,  I can bring back the whole thing, and if we take it directly to the adventurer’s guild, they will take it back even if it is not dismantled. There will be some dismantling fees deducted, but even so, the income is sure to increase compared to bringing back only 40 kilos. In fact, since dismantling outside the city is dangerous, many adventurers bring back the entire material in a cart and dismantle it in the city. The coming and going of materials, adventurers, and dismantling contractors to the dismantling hut on the outskirts of town is secretly a famous feature of the city of Heidburg.

“Alisa, let’s go see the trustee.”

“Yes, Master Hal.”

I took Alisa with me to the servants’ quarters. The servants’ quarters is a bit far from the main building where our family lives, so it’s a bit far to walk.

“Isn’t it?　I think it’s nice and grand.

That’s what all have-nots say.

What’s that? Who are you imitating?”

“That’s my  line!”

“Master Hal: ……

It didn’t take long for us to be walking along, talking about trivial things. It’s too far for me to walk alone, but it doesn’t bother me too much when we’re talking like this. It’s such a subtle distance. The servants have their work cut out for them.

“Well, the administration section is at …….”

“Right this way.”

“You’re a real professional, aren’t you?”

Well, I’m a servant  after all , you know.

Alisa led me to the door of the Administration Office.

“Yes, it’s open.”

“Excuse me.”

Then I opened the door of the administration office.

“Hello,  sir Eberhard. What can I do for you?”

A middle-aged man sitting at the far end of the desk stood up and asked me,

“I’m looking for a cart. preferably a big one. I’m looking for a cart, preferably a big one.  that can be pulled by one adult.

“A cart? If it’s big enough for one adult to pull, it can be found at ……. Oh, I think it’s in  2nd Warehouse . Hey, Anthony. lead them to  2nd Warehouse 2

Yes, Chief. ……, ssir  Eberhard. I’ll show you the way, .”

“Alisa, come with US.”

The young servant called Anthony said so and agreed to show US around.

“I’m sorry for barging in out of the blue.”

✳︎

“I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that the cart is the one we have here.”

“”Oh, this is nice. It looks pretty big”

“Well, if you don’t mind me saying, it seems quite large for  you ,  sir .Eberhard, but are you sure?”

Anthony asks with concern.

I” can use ‘body enhancement’.”

“I’m also going to modify the cart, but I’m not going to tell you that because it’s still in the planning stages.”

I” see, it is the blood of the Farenheit family, isn’t it? At your age, you’ve already mastered magic.”

You’ll only get paid for your praise.

“If I could have that much salary, there is nothing else I would want. I’m honored to serve you in this way.”

It seems that my family is a white company after all. I’m sure it’s one of the most popular places to get a job in the Farenheit frontier county.

After that, I thanked Anthony and left him, and I headed back to the main building with Alisa, pulling a cart. On the way, I asked Alisa about  it .

“Do you get a lot of money too?”

This is not harassment,? I realized after I said it. Well, it’s Arisa, so I guess it’s okay.

“Well, I’m  master Hal’s personal maid, after all. I’m still a high-class person in the world.

“Huh. Well, I guess I’ll have to work you harder!”

“No, not enough. For the time being, you’ll have to ride in this cart.

“I’m embarrassed. You’ll give away my weight!”

Well, I’m about twice as heavy as you.

There’s no point in comparing a 20 year old woman with a 6 year old boy.
