chocolate - piece of heaven
"in all, the island of claw has 5 villages, 3 of which are close to the castle of claw, around 55 to 60 thousand people on the island, in times of war the Celtigar house receives from 1 thousand to 1,500 soldiers" Vigar
"A real shit compared to any other Valyrian house, at least we have a naval fleet, albeit smaller every century, 20 war galleys and many fishing boats"
"In any case, first I'll start my fortune plan, my specialty was chocolate, the climate on the island is good for production and I can also import cocoa from the summer islands"
"I can sell for many coins to the nobles, at this time when there is no sweets, I will be the merchant king"
The little boy then goes to the castle
"Dad, I'm going to start a commercial business" Vigar
"we can't spend money, how about son, I'll give you some silver deer" Ardrian
"I'll pay you double what you lend me"
"Alright, closed business, I'll lend you 1000 gold dragons" Ardrian
Vigar left with the 1000 gold dragons
The next day, Vigar returned this time, he took another 1000 gold dragons that he saved and paid 2000 dragons to his father
"in 1 day?" Ardrian's eyes sparkled
"Yes, but it's still not much, my father, how about a 1 year investment, give me 12,000 gold dragons, I can return about 24,000 dragons in 1 year" Vigar
Ardrian wanted to use common sense, his son is only 10 years old, but he is too greedy, doubling the investment in 1 year is a great chance
Although the celtigar cass is weak, it is not poor, in the castle treasures there are carpets of Myr, volantine glass, gold and silver plates, jewel cups, magnificent falcons, a trained sea eagle, a Valyrian steel ax, ruby chests , a horn that supposedly summoned krakens under the sea and many fine wines
The wealth in coins of the house should be around 1 million gold dragons, in items and equipment is even more
"Alright, have fun then son, get 12,000 dragons from the treasure" Ardrian
"Thanks dad, you won't regret it" Vigar
Vigar then left, with his small body he walked in a cute way
"...Wait, where did he get 2000 dragons in 1 day, I forgot to ask..... I think I was tricked" Ardrian
"Only 10 years and already knows how to make money on people, my son I'm so proud" Ardrian, he shed tears of joy
----------------------------------
Vigar then asked the merchant ships from the house to go to the summer islands, he wrote down all the details of the cocoa and even drew, to avoid mistakes, he gave 6 thousand dragons to buy cocoa.
5 thousand dragons were destined to buy milk, fat and sugar, Vigar will make milk chocolate
The remaining 1,000 dragons were set aside for building small things necessary for production, such as large iron pots, for hiring workers on the islands, for grinding and boiling cocoa, and other production processes.
"Just wait now, I'll keep training" Vigar
The days passed, in addition to the training sessions, Vigar lived with his mother and father who, strangely, got along well.
4 months later, finally the merchant ships returned, full of strange fruit
-----------------------------------
Vigar personally commanded the planting of cocoa tree seeds, after saying that this was his investment, Ardrian allowed it, after all he didn't want to lose money
The vast majority of the fruit was crushed, all 300 workers live close to the castle and their names were noted, no one would leak any case or be killed
Chocolate tends to melt easily, so animal fat was added to serve as a kind of paraffin, preventing the chocolate from melting.
The taste of this chocolate is far inferior to modern ones, but in this age, it is simply a divine gift.
With a box made of silk, the small chocolate balls took shape
To facilitate the sale it is necessary to make it popular first, so the only place where the sale will be will be in the capital of the kingdom, king's landing
Using the names of the Celtigar house, Vigar sent chocolate as a gift to his grandfather Gyles Rosby, his grandfather is sick, he must be overjoyed when he tastes the candy
Gyles Rosby only has female daughters, in a way no heir, it would be a lie if Vigar says he has no ambition in Rosby land, so he'll be a good grandson
Ardrian tasted the candy, he saw the opportunity, so he made several letters with the family name, Vigar will send the candy to several lesser noble houses in the land of the crown.
The name of Chocolate was chosen, piece of heaven, because whoever eats it thinks it's in heaven
Finally, Vigar sent much of the chocolate as a gift to the king, Aerys II Targaryen
Soon, the piece of heaven will become the most requested food in the nobles
-----------------------
1 month passed, everything happened as Vigar wanted
Your grandfather was so pleased that he wrote the letter in person and wanted to buy more
Lesser noble houses want more too, even the great Velaryon house of Driftmark was no different
But best of all, it was Aerys II Targaryen himself, he has not yet been imprisoned in Valdocasus, his madness is still low, so he ate the present along with his queen Rhaella Targaryen, the piece of heaven has become the king's favorite
The royal kitchen has closed a deal with the Celtigar house, we are going to sell about 10,000 gold dragons in chocolate every month
As Vigar maintains a monopoly, he made the price too expensive, in all he received 17,000 gold dragons in orders
Ardrian and Vigar have banded together forever, now Ardrian himself has taken 30,000 dragons from his vault as an investment in cocoa
Vigar got 80% of the business, 20% for Ardrian, his father accepted little just because he is a son, never that the old miser would accept other people
But Vigar's big profit is not chocolate, but a clothes loom with a flying shuttle, when he creates this loom he will be able to produce a great deal of cloth at low cost and sell colorful and expensive clothes to carefree nobles.
