Diary of a salesman

[jammi]

Monday 07-09-817.

Once again the family loaded food aboard the Uraraka Uri in preparation for the day's sales. Masurao-san came to the family home to greet us, and gave us wise words of wisdom in return for a free breakfast. Masurao say, "fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue." This explain much, for I always suspected bastard-san lawyer down the road to be having an affair with next door's wife!

Later on we disembarked for New Tokyo as usual, heading for Shinjuku. Superior-Keiretsu-Samura representative Tomatchi Li-san had no advice as to where we should sell our wares, so we contented ourselves by touring New Tokyo. Business was non-existent, so we began search for the Kunigami family! We had no luck tracking down this 'Noodle Box' we had heard of. The cowardly Kunigami must have heard of superior-Kyou-business-technique and fled in shame!

After passing most of the day without customer, we set course for home-planet Kyushu. Spotting a familiar sight on the lane home, we deactivated the lane sequence to investigate. There was one Farmer-san, one Hogsha-san and one Warrior-san. The Warrior-san was arguing with the Hogsha-san, although I attempted to sell my wares to the Farmer-san (I did not offer the Twelve Moon Rice this time!).

This time Farmer-san agreed! I think it was a different Farmer-san. He buy 200 units of superior-than-Gajin-produced traditional food! This is the largest order the Kyou family has ever received! We won much honour for the Kyou family with the $1,000,000 in revenue Farmer-san donated! If I see Farmer-san again, I'll ask him if he wants my daughter for marriage. After that transaction was complete Hogsha-san turned his attention away from Warrior-san and also ordered 200 units of superior-than-Gajin-produced traditional food! Wife-Kyou was ecstatic! This time we earned $200,000 in revenue!

After this we hurried home to restock and sell our wares to others! The last two sales filled us with joy and hope for future profits! As we returned to New Tokyo, we saw - and my eyes did deceived me not! - the Imperial Yacht, the Ting Yuan! We offered to donate our cargo of superior-than-Gajin-produced traditional food as a gift to the Emperor, but the ship's communication officer told us all gifts must be routed through the Imperial Guard office on Planet New Tokyo.

Which reminds me, Ausoi takes his final examination for his pilot's license tomorrow. Should he pass, I shall be enlisting him with the Navy to earn the Kyou family yet more honour by killing a Gajin-barbarian!

Much future prosperity to the Superior-Keiretsu-Samura!
