Period : Astron - Afterlith
The final deal was sealed yesterday and thereby this trading period has come to a satisfying end. Ser Brulk showed up near Noglond yesterday, I knew he would come. My father had his doubts about trading with the men of Bree, untrustworthy folk he'd say. But he cant deny the amount of money we made by trading there. Noglond is a nice place to trade with folk from abroad, if the deal goes sour, the foreigner can be send back without setting foot to Thorins halls. With the help of my father Ullfar and Arnbur, son of Arnrór the deal of yesterday went smoothly. Maybe also the cold weather set speed to the trade negotiations. Ser Brulk looked to be in a fair shape considering his eye problem. I will be in contact with him to see whether the treatment with the yarrow cure works as expected. There is always room left for improvement. The only strange encounter was the high pitched laughter that echoed through the vale, it put everyone on edge. I believe Arnbur, son of Arnrór would take a look around.
In conclusion, a profitable season it was. The trade weeks in Michel Delving and Bree turned out to a succes. I have made twice as much profit compared to last year. A fine sum of 130 silvers in total, and 50 silvers extra for Brulks yarrow cure, a mighty fine 180 silvers added to my savings!
Before my savings are drowned in ale and merriment I should look into investments to drive up the profits and quality to another level. My glassware is in a poor shape and also not fit for larger quantities. If I want to improve the quality and output quantity I will be needing new glass ware.
A list of requirements:
* 3 extraction round glass bottles of medium size.
* 2 extraction round glass bottles of big size.
* 1 extraction round glass bottle of grand size.
I need to find a glass blower expert that can make these for me. None of the regular glass ware found around the markets will do. I should ask around.
