After Meg serving tea to Ch'ang O, Meg and Isabella left. After few silent breaths, Ash finally broke the silence. Ash was waiting for Ch'ang O speak first.
" Does mister Sasuke knows you famous your products have become in the Purcell clan territory?" Ch'ang O broke the silence. She wanted Ash to speak first but he didn't. If Ch'ang O had spoken at the beginning this would have showed that she was desperate.
" I did heard some positive reviews from the consumers." Ash was sitting opposite to Ch'ang O. Both was looking at each other at each. Each of their words was very calculated.
Ash's words showed that he was neither too surprised nor that happy. In fact, this is the impression he wanted to give Ch'ang O. In a business meeting whoever maintains his calm always manages to win.
Ch'ang O was little disappointed. She was expecting little more surprised type reaction from Ash.
" I will speak honestly. Mister Sasuke's products have become very popular in the market. One reason for that is low price." Ash decided to not raise the price of his products during this crisis time. While other merchants did. So people naturally came to Ch'ang O and she gained their trust.
Ash nodded." Second reason, the most important part. Mister Sasuke's products quality is very high or the highest quality out there. This 2 reasons has increased the supply demand of your products. Even people outside the Purcell clan territory are coming for your products."
Ash nodded. This was result he wanted to see. Ash was very confident that his vegetables and meats would become very popular. But Ash didn't expect this process to be so fast.
' Maybe, Pest Crisis might have act as a catalyst, increasing reputation of my products in such short.'
" So, Miss Ch'ang O wants more supplies." Ch'ang O replied with a nod.
Ash sighed when he replied. " I am sorry to disappoint Miss Ch'ang O but currently this is my full capacity. I already have planted different products."
Ch'ang O didn't looked so disappointed. Maybe she already had expected this type of answer from Ash.
Ash didn't wanted to concentrate on growing only few types of products.
If Ash releases large amount of his product in the market then it might cause chaos. This might decrease the products value.
Over time, People will get bored eating the same products. So Ash wanted to introduce new vegetables and crops in the market.
If Ash sells too many products in the market then a large amount of food will be wasted which suppose to sold by the other merchants.
All this reason made Ash remember a quote. " It's better to be save than never." Greediness will make Ash lot of enemies.
Ch'ang O didn't looked so worried. Instead Ch'ang O also wanted to sell new vegetables in the market. Ch'ang O had eaten the magic vegetables with Ash. This Magic Vegetables quality was very high and tasted very delicious.
From Ash's explanation Ch'ang O understood that Ash also wants to sell new products in the market.
" Does that means..." Ch'ang O only said the half and looked at Ash to continue. She had a very curious expression.
" Hahaha!" This made Ash laugh a little.
Ch'ang O felt little embarrassed. " Sorry, I did not mean to laugh. But I just couldn't contain myself when I saw your innocent and curious expression. You really looked pretty."
Ash's words immediately made Ch'ang O blush. She lowered her head to drink some tea just to hide her flushed face.
" Yes. Just as Miss Ch'ang O guessed. I do plan on selling magic vegetables. I also want to sell oil and other types of spirits beasts meats. But I still need some time before I can supply these two products to you. I hope Miss Ch'ang O would help me."
Ch'ang O was little surprised. Ash words made Ch'ang O wonder just how big farming land does he have.
" Mister Sasuke, can rest assured. What vegetables does Mister Sasuke plan on selling?" Ch'ang O curiously asked.
" Miss Ch'ang O can see and eat the new products during lunch." Ash mysteriously smiled.
Ch'ang O understood that Ash wanted to talk about another topic or subject.
" It's about Ivan. Ivan personally wanted to thank Mister Sasuke. After Ivan learned what mister Sasuke did for the people of Ica plains, he was very grateful to mister Sasuke." This was Ch'ang O's main objective for today's sudden visit.
Ash smirked. " I apologize. I don't wish to meet Ivan or any outsider. This is the reason why covered the entire Blue hills mountain with dark fog."
Ch'ang O clearly understood that Ash did not like Ivan from his reaction. Ch'ang O could also guess the reason. Ivan had wanted to eliminate Ash as some he arrived in Blue hills mountain. So she already had expected such answer from Ash.
Furthermore, if Ch'ang O's guess is correct than Ash must have killed Ivan's father, a 9th rank expert.
" I understand. Mister Sasuke doesn't needs to apologize." Ch'ang O smiled in relief. A part of her was afraid that Ash would use Ivan to set his own business throughout the Purcell clan territory. But it seems She was just over thinking.
Ash clearly saw this point as well. " Miss Ch'ang O, let me make one point clear. I helped Purcell clan because of you. I have no plan of doing business with other merchants."
Ash words meant that He will only do business with Ch'ang O because she is different from other merchants.
Ch'ang O also understood this part and smiled in appreciation. Both liked each other's characters very much.
Ash was fond of Ch'ang O because of she was highly intelligent, good characteristics women.
Ch'ang O liked to do business with Ash because he was very different from black mage. Ash had a good character, smart, not a blood thristy black mage like others and a genius.
