Old Man's Shop(Rewritten)

Still in shock, Luis mananged to reach his house before he met some night beasts.

He got 1000G(Grand) from the System. He had the coins in a bag in his hand. How was he going to explain that to everyone? Everyone would think that he had stolen it.

NO ONE WILL THINK IT'S STOLEN.

"How did you know what I was thinking?"

I AM INSIDE YOUR MIND.

"That's highly disturbing. What will they think when they see the money?"

THEY WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED THE MONEY BY A HIDDEN RICH MERCHANT.

"And they won't question it? "

NO. AN ENTIRE FAKE MERCHANT IDENTITY HAS BEEN CREATED WHICH YOU WILL LATER INHERIT.

"You are very mysterious and suspicious,you know that?"

I AM VERY POWERFUL. DON'T QUESTION MY POWERS YOU DARE MORTAL.

"Don't need to get so angry. I was just joking. "

MY HUMOR SETTING IS AT 90."

"What's that? "

"Lui! You scared me! " Isabella said as she hugged Luis. Though her head was mostly on Luis's chest. Luis hugged her back. He was feeling sad that he acted that way in front of his mother.

"I am sorry mom. " Luis said. Isabella and Luis stayed like that.

"Just don't run like that. It scares me. " Isabella said. Luis was surprised that she didn't scold him. She just broke the hug and headed towards the kitchen.

Lui I have been meaning to ask you something. " Harry said as he made his way to the table. It was just a wooden table with no decorations. It was made of cheap ebony wood that they were able to afford due to Harry's business. But the old man was old now. He frequently feels ill and Lui had to take care of the shop.

"You know that I am unable to take care of the shop nowadays. So I want to pass you the business as you are the only family this old man has. " Harry proposes as he calmly sipped on his soup. Isabella and Luis's jaw dropped. Lui did anticipate this one day but Isabella, she didn't.

"Well then, I am going to the forest now. Bye Mom, bye Mr. Jefferson. " Lui said as he finished his breakfast and left through the shop leaving a worried Isabella.

The shop was nothing special. It was a simple one room shop which sold vegetables, fruits and fish. There were frequent cases of food spoiling and Lui was frustrated. The shop was on a busy street in the West of central Hunby. The street was nicknamed the Food Street seeing how many food stalls were set up other than Jefferson's.

Luis first went to Bill Mason's house. Bill's father, Will, like Harry Jefferson owned a shop in the Food Street. Bill and Luis were friends ever since Luis's childhood.

When Bill finally came, together with Luis, they headed towards the slums of the Scholls Village to get some labour. From what Luis understood about the new creation that System had told him, he would need labour, clay, fire and blowpipe. And time too.

"Why are we going there? " Bill asked Luis. "I have something what I want to make. For that we will need some men." Luis answered. "And what is that exactly? " Bill asked.

"Something through which we can save vegetables and other food items for long time without it getting rotten." Luis said.

"Is that even possible?" Bill didn't think stuff like that was possible. That's why some vegetables only lasted for the day in his house. Rotting. And then his friend tells him that he can prevent that.

"Just wait and watch. "
