Chapter 209 A Plan in Motion
Rosalie pushed lightly against Declan’s chest. Only then did he loosen his grip and let her go.
After breakfast, several beastmen sent by Talia were already waiting outside.
Rosalie smiled calmly and said, “We’re not going today.”

They were shocked. One of them blurted out, “But there were so many people yesterday. We should take advantage of that and bring in more customers!”
“Not just today,” Rosalie replied. “We’re not going tomorrow or the day after either.”
Before they could ask more questions, Rosalie waved them off and told them to go home.
On her way, Rosalie went to find Talia. The two of them checked the newly delivered rice together.
One wooden cart carried more than a dozen large sacks of rice. That amount could feed a family of seven for about a month.
But it wasn’t enough. Far from enough.
They didn’t just need food. They also needed warm animal hide.
Having food without blankets in winter was just as useless.
Next time, they would need to spare ten people just to transport blankets.
Rosalie had the beastmen pull the carts and move the rice into the city’s rice shop.
The city lord had cleared this shop especially for them. It sat in the best location, right in the center of the city.
All at once, 50 beastmen entered the city. The locals were startled and thought another tribe was attacking.
When they saw everyone pulling strange carts with round wheels that rolled forward with a simple tug, curiosity quickly replaced fear.
The group stopped at the rice shop. Then, in neat order, they began carrying the rice inside, one sack after another.
They hoisted the heavy bags onto their shoulders. Muscles bulged along their arms. With so many strong, good-looking beastmen working together, it was hard not to stare.
People passing by slowed down to watch. With so many women looking on, the beastmen worked even harder, moving faster than before.
When the crowd gathered, Rosalie stepped outside and announced loudly, “The rice shop will open in five days! Everyone is welcome to come!”
“Rice?” someone asked. “The same rice we ate at House of Delicacies?”
“Yes,” Rosalie said with a nod. “And when you buy rice, we’ll teach you how to cook it properly.”

Finished
As soon as people heard it was the fragrant rice from House of Delicacies, some rushed forward, eager to buy.
Leon raised his hand and blocked them. Rosalie said patiently, “We’re not selling yet. Please come back in five days.”
With that, she closed the doors.
Inside, sacks of rice were stacked high in the storage room.
In five days, the rice grown near Sovereign City would be ready for several harvests. Declan and the others would also be able to make another round trip.
By then, the supply should be enough to handle the opening crowds.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Once again, the beastmen from Talia’s household stood waiting outside.
This time, Rosalie didn’t send them away. She smiled and said, “Let’s go. We’re heading to House of Delicacies.”
Their eyes lit up instantly.
Today was different from last time. There was no cooking show. No handsome beastmen feeding guests by hand.
They simply went into the kitchen and began chopping ingredients with practiced ease. Still, they all shared the same thing. Something told them today would be a serious battle.
