A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 371

The village was much larger than expected.

Moreover, for some reason, there was a bustling and lively atmosphere in the air.

“Come, come! Fresh fish just brought up from the Eastern Sea! We also have snacks for children!”

Looking up at the banners hanging before her eyes and the sparkling items, Tie swallowed her saliva.

“Mother, why are there so many people here?”

Then Livia, who was holding Tie’s hand, answered awkwardly.

“Well, I don’t know, no. I wonder? It seems like there’s a market?”

That’s when it happened.

“Oh my, there’s a pretty little Princess!”

A man who had been busy soliciting customers saw Tie and approached with a bright smile.

Tie hurriedly looked back at Veil and whispered.

“V-Veil! That man knows that Tie is a prin-“

Veil barely managed to cover the child’s mouth in time.

And the next moment, the man who had approached right up to them held out a wide tray he was carrying to Tie.

“Want a cookie? It’s for tasting.”

Only then did Tie hesitantly lower her gaze.

Familiar-shaped flat cookies were sparkling in the sunlight.

“Wow, this…!”

Tie covered her mouth with both hands.

There was no mistake.

‘It’s dalgona!’

The cookies on the tray looked exactly like the dalgona she often ate in Jongno-gu.

Not the cloudy kind, but the transparent and large carp-shaped dalgona that was often sold in front of school!

As excited Tie picked up a cookie, Veil immediately frowned.

“Hey, if you just eat anything people give you again…”

“Oh my, Teacher. Don’t worry!”

At that moment, the man smoothly interjected.

“This isn’t just any cookie, it’s medicine! It’s sweet, but there’s only a little sugar and the rest is all ingredients that are good for children’s health.”

“Medicine?”

“Of course. Speaking of us…”

The man proudly pointed to his right chest where a badge was attached.

“Flamburus Confectionery! You seem to be tourists, but north of the central region, there’s no one who doesn’t know our company!”

The man grabbed Veil’s arm and pulled him along.

Unlike Veil who was being dragged along unwillingly with a frown, Tie followed behind the man on her own feet.

At the stall they arrived at, there was indeed a banner that read 【Flamburus Confectionery】.

“Excellent taste! Excellent price! Take your time looking around. Even if it looks bad for your health, it’s all medicine…”

With the man’s voice behind her, Tie looked around at the snacks placed on the stall.

Then she discovered something and opened her eyes wide.

“Ah, stop wandering around! These annoying brats, if you’re not buying anything, go! Go away!”

Inside the stall, an Elder was waving a fly swatter with a cranky face.

Then the two children standing across from him covered their faces with their arms and shrank back.

A Girl who was slightly taller than Tie.

And a young Boy holding that Girl’s hand.

Marbas, who poked his head out slightly from Tie’s embrace, whispered softly.

“They seem to be siblings!”

“Siblings?”

“Yes. It looks like they don’t have money so they’re just looking around. The confectionery owner is quite cranky. If it were this Marbas, I would humanely give them a cookie or two for free…”

“Ah, get lost! Why are you interfering with other people’s business when you don’t even have money?! You’re not even beggars, so bring money!”

At that moment, the Elder shouted once more.

Seeing the child step back in surprise, Tie’s brow furrowed.

Then the man who had been soliciting customers blocked Tie and the Members.

“Hahaha, don’t mind that side. Those Child have been interfering with business since before lunch, so Father is just scolding them a bit.”

A moment of silence followed.

Soon, Tie pointed to the cookies on the tray the man was holding with a strange expression.

“How much is this?”

The man’s expression brightened.

“This? This one is…”

He looked back at the Elder and rubbed one palm on his pants.

“One bag this size is 3 gold! It’s practically free, free!”

“3 gold?”

Veil asked back.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen this cookie, but isn’t it cheap?”

Livia also nodded roughly.

“I don’t know well, but it seems like it.”

She looked at Tie and asked.

“Should Mother buy it for you? Mother has lots of money!”

The man and Elder’s eyes lit up.

However, Tie just made a “hmm” sound and crossed her arms.

“But 3 gold is 30,000 won, right?”

At the unfamiliar currency unit, the man and Elder exchanged glances.

Meanwhile, Tie shook her head back and forth.

“It’s too expensive, so I won’t buy it.”

“No! Child.”

The man hurriedly interjected.

“You don’t understand. Do you know how hard it is to make these cookies! There’s indescribable skill involved, look!”

He gestured to the stall that was already almost empty.

“See how popular they are? We’ve already sold everything and this is what’s left! We were going to give it to you at a cheap price because we want to close up shop quickly and rest…”

“Oh, I see. But!”

“…”

“Why is melting sugar once and then hardening it such an incredibly difficult technique?”

The man opened his mouth blankly.

It was because the Child in front of him had actually rattled off something like a cookie manufacturing method.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

The child looked up at her mother with bright eyes.

“Mother. Tie learned that Talochium classifies sugar not as a luxury item but as strategic supplies.”

“Strategic…? Ah, you mean strategic supplies? Mother didn’t know that either.”

“Yes. So when they import it from the Southern Tropical Islands, it’s really cheap! They bring it in at cost price without tariffs. Instead, Talochium promised to catch all the pirates near the tropical islands!”

Veil’s mouth fell open.

“Child! What Savert said about you being a genius was really true?!”

Basto also looked at Tie with an indescribably proud face.

Whether history or economics.

He remembered Sabert’s words that she absorbed everything taught to her as if she had known it originally.

Tie closed her eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

“Of course. Anyway, so what Tie is curious about is…”

The child looked at the man and Elder with meaningful eyes.

“Why does such cheap sugar become so expensive when you melt it and harden it~? That’s strange. Isn’t this false advertising?”

“Oh my! Child. Hahaha!”

The man put down the tray and hurriedly approached Tie.

“Quiet, qu, quiet down. Okay?”

Tie looked at the man with a sullen expression.

‘Hmph. Tie saw everything earlier.’

From the general goods stalls to accessories, even the grocery stores.

Most of the stalls spread throughout this place had sugar confections taken from 【Flamburus Confectionery】 placed on one side, selling them together.

Obviously, they must have all bought the confections at ridiculous prices.

“Hammer.”

Tie said.

“Do you know that a place called the Office of Imperial Oversight was recently established in the Imperial Palace?!”

The man gulped.

“Emperor created it, and its role is to investigate false advertising and unfair profits.”

“No, that’s…”

“Flamburus Confectionery is also a company, so if reported, they’ll be investigated! Isn’t that amazing?”

The man hesitated and stepped back.

When he urgently looked up, he saw four pairs of eyes staring directly at him.

The child’s parents and two other men.

Only one of them had a threatening build,

‘But somehow the atmosphere of all of them…’

The gazes and expressions of the other three also felt as fierce as predators eyeing their prey.

As if none of them were ordinary people.

“I, I’ll just give it to you!”

Finally, the man reached for his stall and grabbed whatever packaged confections he could, shoving them into Tie’s arms.

“Take them, hahaha! I’m giving them because you’re pretty, okay?”

However, Tie still had a sullen expression.

The anxious man hurriedly crouched down.

“Fine, I got it!”

“…”

“I’ll recall everything I put out in the market. I won’t do false advertising anymore either! So please don’t report me!”

But at that moment, Basto blocked his path.

“Let’s finish that conversation with me.”

“Huh, what?”

Veil, who was beside them, ran his hand through his hair and interjected.

“Right, what’s the big deal about an inspection?”

He stood next to Basto with a sly smile.

“Shall we have a cozy little chat?”

Then he put his arm around the flustered man’s shoulders and added.

“Come on, let’s go. There’s nothing good that’ll come from doing this in front of so many people~”
