November 1624 - Day 19

Difficult market situation in vegetables persists... for no obvious reason, the Farmers are trying to ask 4-5x the normal price for the food, but the NPC's (representing 90% of the demand) do not have money to buy it. Hopefully this resolves peacefully without revolt...

Martti's produce got sold even at the high prices, but the garden yielded an additional 33*VEG, which now gets eaten, as well as the 30*MEAD. Meat price is 10,000+ but before next month, the pigs will get slaughtered. Martti has the following health situation:The eating/drinking felt Satisfying. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Significant. I could still eat 35, drink 60 and use 150 units of wisdom this year.All variety bonuses for typical items have been collected already except that of meat, and next month there will be that available. Consuming about 20-30 units of meat, filling the quota with VEG, and depending on availability, drink or smoke some, would take this 3rd health challenge to Moderate as well as the previous ones have been. That should be a reasonable target, which does not allow the health to degrade too quickly.

Martti's number of items in the wake of the hopeful promotion to L4, has gone down to 10 - so many have been sold so it's possible to list all that he has and their purpose:

Household
- 4-SW-F11 Free Land Lot #11 (land 250 sqm)- WOS-E1 Green Artesan Suit (will be current until L5)
- MIN-3 Ming China Soup Bowl (Martti's coveted "heirloom" he bought the first year)

Production of consumables
- 4*PIG (meat)
- 2*DIS ("distillery", mead)
- S-VE1 (vegetable garden, veg)
- S-CAN (herb garden, can)

Trading capital
- 2,894,541 moneretos (money)- 5*W1614 (good wine, merchandise)
- THS1 (3 CKS silver ring, was gifted to all L3's by Town Hall, no special value to Martti who does not know Town Hall)
The listing shows that most of Martti's funds are tied on "limited production items", of which only DIS he can still buy more, others are maxxed out. When his wealth grows from here, it will have to find more competitive places to invest, with lower yields as the quantities are not limited and large players are pressing yields down. Right now, however, Martti goes to sleep hopefully waking up as L4 Novice!
