Even if I hug her, it won't fill her stomach...

Well not with that attitude, it won't.
Something something "secret stah of 'nut pie'" ...
I'm so sorry...

looks promising. hope it goes in a nice direction.

 

[Grikath]

OK.... let's be fair.... It isn't any Superior Nihon Junk Festival Food .....yet....

I like that they didn't just throw a regular guy from the real world in there and give him crazy levels of knowledge for no good reason like other isekai, his knowledge is imparted, which also (hopefully) reduces the chances that it turns into a Japanese food wank-fest like a lot of other series, since he's not a Japanese guy reincarnated into this world, he's a native of the world and its customs.

This has good promise, he is in debt, made a desperate plan to pay it off and everyone isn't a blinde beliver.
Im hopping that this syrup will be used as a bargaining chip to either push back the debt collection or get a loan to make more and get an exclusive contract and buyer so he can get capital for the syrup business, creating jobs and try to develop another mode of income.
Do some infrastructure and logistics will go a long way.
His first problem would be to fight the cold so I hope they find a small limited quantity of warm stones or something that would help keep people and a bit of thr homes warm, but let the quantity of the stones be scarce and expensive so they would be purchased slowly.
The money saved on coal could be used on something else and any coal purchased could be used for Smithing and furnaces.

A land that's cold and can produce Maple Syrup? He's making the Canadian me proud
(I know Maple trees are found in Japan too, but let the Canadian me be happy with my head cannon)

Next chapter: "Behold, everyone! The twisty bits of galim wood are perfect for making these! I call them 'hockey sticks.'"

 

[jakasetan]

This is quite good premise, and a good start too. Let's see the next one, then.

Thanks for the translation!

I still don't buy the undiscovered a common's tree sapling that turn into sugary things -_-

That's actually not that strange...
This world has the usual sugar-as-luxury-product and presumably honey, so they already have "sugary stuff".

Every tree or bush bark contains and transports "sugary things", except that it also contains a lot of other stuff that tastes bad (resins, tannins), gives you a bad case of the Runs ( Xylitol from birch is a nice example..) , or toxins ( some of which can be beneficial to us, but that's mostly because we're not the target for the toxin...)
And in most trees the concentration of sugars in the sap is really low, so it isn't even worth bothering with.

Even the sugar maple showcased here only does its trick in the right environmental circumstances: A short,warm growing season with harsh long winters. They use the "high concentration" sugar to grow fast, and as anti-freeze.
Take it out of that environment into warmer latitudes, and you'll find it rapidly stops producing quite that much sugar ( and more Nasties..) , or dies pretty quickly because it will be infested by anything and everything inviting themselves to the Sugar Party..

Even then... the whole maple syrup thing didn't even come up until peeps started harvesting the sap using the same technique as is used for rubber harvesting... It's a colonial/early industrial Age thing instead of the "Stone Age Knowledge" most people assume.
Sugar maples were cultivated before that, but that was for their actual wood. They make really nice, smooth floors and table tops. And ...bowling alleys... High quality "soft" wood.
So no... it's not "logical" that peeps there could have figured out that the tree could have another purpose. It's only logical if you recognise the tree and already know it can also be used to make Sugary Things. If you have them on an industrial scale...

What I don't buy is that our MC gets a huge kettle of the tree sap in the timeframe that is shown... That is the actual Manga Cooking done here..

Nor would it be the Money Maker it's pretended to be here..
Maple syrup wasn't a Thing outside Canada until peeps made it into a "cultural artisanal product" to be snooty about.
You're still in a world with medieval transport limitations. Which is mostly why sugar is so expensive there..
The maple syrup might reduce the need to import sugar ( which is why the Canadians went for it to begin with originally...) and as such make life cheaper because you can produce it locally.
Exporting it as a "money-maker" would run into the same transport problems as importing sugar... Getting stuff from A to B is difficult and expensive.

Might need to clarify for page 11 that red ink "denotes negative balance in financial records, indicating expenses exceed income, and is used in discussions of corporate, government, or personal budgets"
