>"Wow, they really are pretty rare if you have to pillage the border for them..."
> Ichirin laughs. "No, it's not that they're rare, it's that people already have what they need, but no more. You'd probobly be able to get one in the human village, easily, but you're not a human, so you can't. The youkai with tubs or something to hold food got them from Rinnosuke, or found them, or made them by their own hands. Of course, most youkai don't eat, or need to eat, so a lot of youkai don't have anything to store food at all."
Consider the idea of giving first-time customers to our stand a discount. It might raise business. Also consider advertising in the temple.
> You accept payment in shiny objects or debts to do something for you. It's a little hard for a discount to those. You don't understand money, but coins are shiny, so you just accept it for the shiny. The one time Sakuya came by and heard your policy, before she walked off she dropped a small knife on your stand, and the metal was shiny, clearly it had been cleaned and looked after. Because it was shiny, it was OK.
> This might be possible, but you don't see any advetisements for, say, the Moriya Shrine, or Rinnosuke's shop. The only advetisement you saw was a jobs board near the enterence... but it was empty, besides a small, badly scrawled thing saying 'Someone to be surprised'. You think you know who wrote that.
