Chapter 2: Trade Agreements
Expanding Your Supply Chain
1 Securing 3 Trade Agreements
Aunt Thralll visits you with an important mission. To expand the store's scale, you need to find more suppliers. Your primary task is to sign trade agreements with 3 vendors in Blomkest.
📸 Aunt Thralll briefing you on trade agreements
🎯 Main Objective
Establish trade partnerships with 3 different vendors to secure diverse product supplies for your growing store.
2 First Trade Agreement - Barbara at the Harbor
Navigate to the harbor using your map and find Barbara. Chat with her about cooperation to sign your first trade agreement. Purchase 2 boxes of fish sticks as your initial stock.

🐟 Fish Products Acquired
- • 2 boxes of fish sticks
- • Future access to seafood supplies
3 Expanding Cold Storage Capacity
Your store's freezers aren't sufficient. Visit Ted Eisenkram's hardware store again to purchase:
🛒 Required Equipment
- • 1 Seafood Amplifier
- • 1 Additional Freezer
📸 Installing new cold storage equipment
The next day, arrange the seafood amplifier and freezer properly, then stock the fish sticks. You can adjust shelf positions to create better customer flow. Don't forget to restock shelves before closing!
4 Recycling System Introduction
The sales manager reminds you about the box compressor in the store. You can compress empty cardboard and foam boxes into boards for recycling at the station next to the hardware store.

♻️ Fun Fact
Ted runs both the hardware store and the recycling station - he's quite the entrepreneur!
5 Carl's Sheep Emergency
On your way home, you meet farmer Carl (one of your potential partners). A storm has knocked down a tree blocking his path to the farm, and his sheep have escaped throughout the town. He's too distressed to discuss cooperation.
There seems to be some misunderstanding between Carl and Aunt Thralll, making him resistant to cooperation. Aunt Thralll suggests helping Carl find his 8 missing sheep to soften his attitude.

🐑 Mission: Find 8 Sheep
Search the entire town for Carl's escaped sheep. Meet at the park once found - they'll wait there until the road crew removes the fallen tree.
6 Barbara's Sales Challenge
The next morning, visit Barbara again. She'll give you a task: sell 10 fish festival sticks before further cooperation can proceed. Remember to take the fish festival sticks back to your store for sale!
📊 Discounty Rewards Program
The sales manager introduces the Discounty rewards system. The company sends daily and weekly sales targets. Achieving these goals earns Discounty reward points to unlock new products.
💡 Tip: Check your computer regularly for updates!
7 Maintaining Store Cleanliness
The store now has cleaning buckets. Pick up the sponge to clean dirt. You need to dip it in clean water periodically. For efficiency, you can carry the bucket with you while cleaning.
📸 Keeping your store spotless
🧹 Cleanliness Matters!
Don't let the store get messy! Sticky floors slow down customers and reduce their shopping enthusiasm. Clean regularly!
8 Second Trade Agreement - Carl's Farm
During free time, check if the tree has been removed. If so, Carl and his sheep have returned home safely. Visit the farm to discuss the trade agreement.
Since you helped Carl find his sheep, he agrees to sign the trade agreement and provides his finest oats for your store. You'll need to buy more shelves from Ted's hardware store to display them.

⚠️ Staff Change
To cut expenses, your aunt dismisses sales manager Grace. From now on, you're running the store alone - stay focused!
9 Daily Store Management
Stock Carl's oats on the shelves - they'll be popular! After closing, clean the floors, restock shelves, and take empty boxes to the recycling station.
💰 Extra Income Tip
The item box on the right side of the store entrance contains plastic bags. Use them to collect empty cans and bottles for recycling - extra cash!
10 Third Trade Agreement - Fisherman Yuming
After selling the 10 fish festival sticks, return to Barbara. She's trustworthy and tells you to source products from fisherman Yuming. First, visit the hardware store to get a container for fresh fish - Ted has an old aquarium he can give you, plus buy another seafood amplifier.

📅 Sunday Break
Aunt Thralll reminds you that the supermarket is closed on Sundays. Use this time to explore town, meet residents, and maintain business relationships. Most townspeople don't work Sundays - track their activities through the app!
Visit Yuming at the harbor and explain you've broken trade barriers. He currently only catches bone herring and can supply you with three boxes. Transport them to your store.
