(Masa) Togo, Fueko and Momoko have moved to Tokyo,
Sakurako's lving alone at the Arimori family has started
(Sakurako) good morning!
(Kane) that's not what was promised!
as to the price of Hacho Miso
he promised to consider it, didn't he!?
let me speak to Mr. Yamaguchi you are hopeless!
hello, well...
♬～
what's the matter?
that was useless on that day
on that day?
you and Otami cooked
dishes using Hacho Miso for the members of Diet
they were so happy
and promised to hold on the price of Hacho Miso
but the politicians are really insincere
at the end the controlled price is 6 Yen 10 Sen for 10 Kan (approx. 37.5 kg)
the price of soy beans has increased and the raw materials alone cost 6 Yen 60 Sen
how can we sell it for 6 Yen 10 Sen!
it's the same as "close our business"
the same as to hang myself!
Mr. Nogiyama is there any way to come through?
(Nogiyama) the raw materials cost 6 Yen 60 Sen and the sales price is 6 Yen 10 Sen
the more we sale, the more money we lose
to prevent it... how do you do that?
using the same amount of soybeans
and make larger amount of Miso
adding more water at preparation
then it will mature quicker and can ship sooner
(Senkichi) that... can't be out Miso!
we have our pride in slowly matured Miso
that's true, but if we are unwilling to discard old customs
none of us will have food on the table
(sigh) I wish Tatsuhiko were here
I don't know what to do
you can't talk to the members of Diet who visited here?
they won't answer the phone they are avoiding me
in that case, why don't you visit them?
if you can't go, mistress I'll go
who would talk to a young girl like you?
instead of sending you there, I'll go!
♬～
(Senzo) is Kiyoshi there?
(Kiyoshi's father - Senzo Takashima) (Kiyoshi) old man, what is it? it's unusual for you to come here
you finally received it here (red paper - draft paper)
♬～
draft paper yep
it says "join the regiment in Toyohashi by 28th"
let's report it to mistress
wait! what is it?
reporting it to the employer right away is the way to do
they have crisis at the moment
due to the controlled price introduced
they might have to close their business tomorrow
I see...
I'll tell them about the red paper when the time is right
so please go home today I see
if you say so
♬～
wasn't it your father? ah, nothing
he was worried about the controlled price of Miso
young mistress
I'll see if I can find cheap soybeans
isn't it a head clerk's job?
there is always a black market
I was a bad boy when I was young
I know a bit about it
don't do anything risky, Kiyoshi kun I'll be fine
(Okiyo Oyumi) young mistress!
is the business closing down!? I am troubled
my income supports my brothers
it won't happen
let's try our best to avoid it! right!
yes well!
(Tokujiro) to add water to Miso and sell it!? that's totally out of the question!
Senkichi san is against it
he says, "that won't be our Miso any more"
that's right!
every craftsman would say so!
mistress is going to visit the members of Diet
but if that doesn’t go well...
if they have to close it down, that's it!
"Yamacho" is a well-established Hacho Miso producer
if they can't make Hacho Miso, they must close the business
how about the people at the shop?
it's not your place to worry bout that
but we worked hard together so far
their livelihood depends on it
we can't abandon these people
♬～
Mr. Yamaguchi you said,
our Miso is tasty, didn't you?
you said you would take care of
the controlled price as well, didn't you? (Yamaguchi) Miss "Yamacho"
when the whole nation puts up with plain food and support the fighting forces
as government, we can't give preferential treatment to luxury items
Hacho Miso is loved by people in Okazaki
and having it just about everyday
it's not a luxury item! ah, well, please leave
Mr. Yamaguchi! sir!
♬～
we can't make Hacho Miso?
when we sold the one in this big barrel, that's the end of "Yamacho?"
grandpa...
Toku san! what are you doing, sir!?
otherwise it can't pay off
to save the business
stop it!
you call it miso?
this isn't miso!
Toku san... I've worked under you
I learned about miso from the beginning from you
but why!?
don't you have craftsman’s pride any more?
Senkichi! I have pride
that's why I don't want to close down the business!
if it's closed down then what? how about them!?
and you?
Senkichi you've been a miso craftsman since you were 15
after this, do you have any other job offer?
I...
if I had to make cheap miso
I'd rather die
♬～
mistress would never accept it
♬～
damn! do you think I enjoy doing it!
idiot!
idiot...
grandpa...
♬～
(customer) from September it will be controlled price
we can buy your Hacho Miso cheaper?
that'll be great
thank you very much! (everyone) thank you very much!
mistress? she is not back yet
hello hello
are you all right
how did the meeting go?
no good
"Hacho Miso is a luxury item we can't give preferential treatment"
I was told
we have no choice...
as Nogiyama said
add water to miso and sell it
mistress please don't do that
for the sake of 400 years of "Yamacho"
I can't face my ancestors!
but otherwise, the business will close down!
400 years of reputation will be over
mistress! Mr. Nogiyama, Sen san listen!
I found a way to get cheap soybeans and in large qauntity
at 1 koku (about 150kg) for 10 yen and 30 koku "1 koku for 10 yen?"
what's behind it?
the ship from Korea went aground due to typhoon
a part of load was soaked in water, the value declined
but they say soybeans are fine
really!?
let's buy them!
in that way, we can make profit even under the controlled price
that's suspicious we'd better not touch it
Senkichi san! 1 koku for 10 yen is too cheap
I can't trust it! but if we can get these
we can make the same Hacho Miso little more!
(Nogiyama) mistress, what shall we do?
let's see...
let's not try anything as risky as that
I understand
♬～
Kiyoshi kun
♬～
I'll raise money somehow
don't be impatient let's discuss with everyone
I don't have time
♬～
I received red paper yesterday
I only tell you, young mistress
I'll join the army in 10 days
♬～
