Chapter 2: A Great Upheaval

1

It was now the sixteenth of the gold month. We had finished our cooking lessons for the Ravitz clan and had a day off after, and now we were working in the post town again. This was the fourteenth day of our break period, and since months in this world also lasted around thirty days, as of tomorrow it would be half a month since it started. That would be the final day, and the end of the bloodletting and butchering lessons for the hunters.

Of course, the break period lasting half a month was really just an average, and it wasn’t as if the hunters needed to immediately go back to working full time. It would take more than half a month for the supply of fruit in the forest to fully recover, so there still wouldn’t be all that much prey around. Even so, giba would still occasionally wander into the area, which made it necessary to set up traps and patrol the forest in order to ensure that those stray giba didn’t eat all the vegetation as it was regrowing. That period would last for another twenty to thirty days, giving the hunters some more time to take things a bit easier. My hope was that they would spend it together with their families and get some actual rest after all the extra work we’d had them doing.

As for us chefs, we would be giving lessons to the Suun clan starting today. The break period ending made little difference to us, so our plan was to spend the next five to seven days on this. Before that, though, we had our business in the post town. Starting today, we had a woman from the Ravitz clan assisting us as well. Despite Dei Ravitz’s disdain for the Fa clan, after consulting with the Naham and Vin clan heads, he had given his approval to sending us a woman to help out, which I was incredibly grateful for. And surprisingly, the one chosen for the task was none other than the head of the clan’s women, Lili Ravitz.

“Even though I’m sure I’ll come up short in all kinds of different ways, I look forward to working together,” Lili Ravitz had stated with a bow when she arrived at the Fa house at the agreed upon time.

This was the first time I’d had a woman of her age assisting us with business. We had women young and old assisting us with preparations at the Fa house, but when it came to working in the post town, the clans always sent young women exclusively. Aside from Li Sudra and Ama Min Rutim, they had all been unmarried, and the oldest of them was likely the twenty-one-year-old Yamiru Lea, followed by the nineteen-year-old Fei Beim. That was how low the average age was.

Older women had an important role when it came to guiding work around the house, and the younger folks were more flexible in their thinking, so they didn’t have as much aversion to interacting with townsfolk.
