What?! What?! Whaaaaaaaat?! Why, then, your products ARE more expensive then mine!!
(Gastronome, has the government started minting coins yet? Why, no sir, they don't starting minting coins 'til Currency! Aha! Thanks Gastronome. Here's a bone. Buy yourself some ice cream.)
So, the only real currency is bone, though 12 bones (chicken or patridge) are equal to one speck of gold dust, and gold, after all, is what makes Spain go round. I myself have 10 gold nuggets in the box I have here...Isn't that impressive? And the government has 10 gold...TONNES! Isn't that even more impressive?

Okay, Senor Calamari, now we are cheaper than you again.
Exactly how many specks of gold dust equal a goldpiece?
Senor Fernandez,
With the recent conversion to Bones, we now realize we can go as low as a 1/2 bone/Squid and 1/4 bone/Squid Juice. If each slave has a Squid and Squid Juice per Highsun-Meal (lunch) and a Squid Juice for a Hotsnack(afternoon snack, whatever) and a Squid and Squid Juice again for Evemeal (Dinner), then that equals to=
Reg. Quality Squid
2 Squid/day - 2 Bones
3 Squid Juice/day - 1 1/2 Bones
Discount Squid
2 Squid/day - 1 Bones
3 Squid Juice/day - 3/4 Bone
The Discount Squid Rate, rounded up to 2 Bones a day, could feed 5 slaves the most gourmet food - Squid - for lets see...if you pay 200 bones that would be 20 days of Squid. Compare to Senor Calamari...
Squid - 2 Bones
I don't think Squid Juice is available from El Squid
That makes 200 Bones towards El Squid only feeding you for about 7 days! Not to mention you need to get the liquid yourself!
(Note to Senor Calamari: All just friendly competition. )
We can cut the prices even lower, if we cut out the seasoning and cooking....like I said, the slaves can cook it themselves, it's so good it even tastes somewhat good uncooked. (However I don't recommend it. )

Senor Mitchell, I beg you to reconsider my proposal. No one has actually yet purchased any of your squid, and indeed, since your opening, my business has been frequented much more often! As for prices, we can lower ours to meet yours, which will of course be splendid for business, knowing our quality. Also, we have several new dishes planned for the holiday season, including...wouldn't you like to know?
As for squid juice, our latest polls show that the average population would rather be run over by an elephant than drink it, and so we have not chosen to sell it.

Also, if you'll remember F-PRO bought 120 Squid (10 Squid/Month for 12 Months.) If he wishes to cancel this deal he will still have to pay for the shipped Squid. (So far 10 Squid have been shipped.) As far as that he ordered the Squid thinking of the old currency, we do not know what for it to cost him, but we'll work something out.
And Senor Calamari: I need to know-how many specks of gold dust would equal one of these goldpeices I have here?

Dear Señor Mitchell:
I think that's good enough to feed our slaves. You have a contract with the State. I am sure that our people will be happy to know that the goods that we take out from them against their will is used for so hig purpose

Senor! There has been disaster!! Three workers have died in the last 24 hours since being rationed Spam Brand Squids!! This is terrible!!! Something must be done!!!!

It has!!! Then in that case, Spam Brand must be discontinued until the cause is found!!! Senor Fernandez (oliverfa?), for the good of Spain we will have to discontinue Spam Brand until the cause of the problem is found. We will, of course, for this interference, only charge you the current rate (3 for 1). As far as Squid Juice, which has since been discontinued, we will be happy to provide you with water-fetching services for the slaves. In the event that this disruption causes you any trouble, I apologize and will repay you for any disruption of service from them, up to 10 Bones.
Before the rations could be stopped, three more workers died with the squid in their traps, and two others died after drinking squid juice. Something is dreadfully wrong here!

I've told Thug not to move from the shores where we catch the Squid until he sees what is causing the problem. I mean, our secret recipe could not have caused such a catastrophe (at least not alone )!
