Chapter 29
Collecting in the forest, with Lutz
Especially, this time, instead of making a large Japanese paper, it is a postcard size.
Let’s make it with reference to the small girder used in the home economics class.
“Well, I’ll make it like this …”
I drew the necessary parts on Lutz after drawing the finished shape on a stone board.
Lutz cuts the tree while watching it.
“You have to cut it straight to be perfect. Eventually, you can cut it together.”
“It’s more annoying than I thought. Go straight …”
Cut the tree and make two rectangular frames so that the inside becomes a rectangle about the size of a postcard.
When two wooden frames of upper and lower girders are created, attach a fixing plate to fix the upper girders so that they do not move when rinsing paper. A handle was attached to the upper girder so that it could be held by hand.
“You did it! Lutz, it feels good!”
“Is this all right?”
“Yeah: Hold the handle between the upper and lower girders, hold this handle like this, and shake it like this to make the fibers uniform.”
“What is the shape?”
In Lutz, who looked suspicious, I pointed to a state where the gaps were slightly visible, with the girder piled sideways.
“If possible, it will be completed if it is perfect, such as polishing or scraping little by little, so that there is no gap when overlapping the upper and lower digits”
“It’s perfect !? Don’t ask your dad or older brother for tools …”
“… Is it possible to borrow tools?”
“I don’t know …”
Even though the travel merchant has given up, Lutz, who has decided the merchant’s apprentices by kicking the architectural and woodworking work desired by his parents, seems to have severe weather from parents now. It’s not a situation where you can really lend me tools or lend me power.
Lutz’s father says that merchants don’t want to be like a cold-blooded person who only thinks about money, and that his son wants to be like that.
My mother, Carla, gave up on a travel merchant and looked for a job in the city.
No matter how severe the win, I cut the way on my own, so I can’t do anything more than Lutz himself says I don’t want to give up.
When I met Lutz’s family, I told her about her hard work and grabbed her stomach with a cooking recipe.
Since the girder has been shaped, it’s the worst. The problem is the nephew.
You have to make a casket like a curly handwriting brush.
There are bamboo threads and yarns of the same size. That is also a strong thread. There is no thread that frees us, and it seems difficult to make bamboo from bamboo.
Despite the postcard size, it can be easily predicted that it will be very difficult to make.
“Because I made a girder today, I’ll start with bamboo tomorrow and start making bamboo chicks. But is it easy to make rounded bamboo chicks? If so, is it okay to use a square? ”
“I can only say that I have to make and use it …”
I still can’t use my knives very well, but I don’t have much strength, but I need to make a lot of them because I need a number.
Fortunately, the girder making that was the goal of today was successful.
“Mine, then Lutz. Would you like to come over here?”
On the way home, Otto was called at the gate and Lutz and two people were invited. For me alone, it’s not uncommon for me to help at the gate, but Lutz should never have been called.
“Me too?”
“Yes. Two people, this is an invitation.”
I was handed a board similar to what I had received from Corinna before. With the results of my study, I immediately confirmed my address and sender. It was an invitation from Benno to me and Lutz.
“Benno-san and Lutz?”
“What is it for?”
I thought I would never meet until paper was made, but I still don’t understand the meaning of the invitation that suddenly arrives at us who are not yet apprentices.
“Tomorrow is a very sudden call. What will it be? … maybe it will fail without making the actual thing?”
We were asked by another person who had to prioritize the in-law, and it was good because the apprentice was decided. I imagined from the end of the information I leaked, and we had the prospect of making a product. Is a box, or just the worst of all that goes around in your head.
“Yeah? Seriously?”
“No, no! No, no!”
I stumbled over the Otto that was denied.
“What do you know, Mr. Otto?”
“… Ah, Benno, who saw Corinna’s hair, was digging up the roots and digging up what I knew.
“Isn’t it Otto’s fault for this invitation! Why are you talking to Pello?”
“Is it natural for a husband to boast that Kolinna is beautiful?”
Did you bother to take pride in being beautiful?
When I complained to Otto, it was true that the invitation had arrived, and if you want to enter Benno as an apprentice, this is a summoning order that you should not refuse.
“Nominal is supposed to be invited for lunch. Can you eat a gorgeous lunch?”
“Oh! Go! Absolutely go!”
Lutz suddenly opened up. If you let the poor people who are always hungry flicker, I’m also interested in rich rice.
Time and place are specified in the invitation. Since the bell of Tomorrow 4 rings, it is written briefly as Benno’s shop.
“… Where is Benno’s shop? We don’t know?”
“First floor of my house”
Otto’s house should have been a room prepared by his older brother, who was worried about his cute sister, on the house of his wife, Corinna.
So, Corinna is Benno’s sister, and the relationship between Otto and Benno is …
“… Did you be a brother-in-law?”
“Yes”
Talking to Otto wasn’t funny even if Benno was losing his way. I didn’t feel like saying anything anymore.
Next day, I and Lutz went to Benno’s shop, wearing as beautiful clothes as possible. After passing the central square, the atmosphere becomes higher and higher.
Lutz also seemed to have never come from the central square to the castle wall and looked around.
“Sorry, something …”
“Yeah, it’s the same city, but it’s completely different. I was surprised when I went to Otto’s house”
“That’s why the city is so different, the lunch is definitely different from ours and it’s gorgeous. I’m looking forward to it.”
♪ I sigh lightly and advise Lutz looking forward with an innocent smile.
“How to eat, you should be careful”
“Do n’t you?”
“I think you’ll definitely check your manners, how to eat”
“Huh !? I don’t know that!”
I don’t know. I don’t know if my manners are true here.
There is only one countermeasure.
“I don’t think it’s going to be so wrong if you eat while looking at Benno, looking at your posture, not sticking,”
“… I’m nervous.”
Listening to the anxiety that I don’t know what is waiting for me, I will walk with my hands together.
I arrived in front of Benno’s shop just before the bell of the fourth ring. Since the 4th bell rang, I had to kill time near the store.
“What are you going to do?”
“Nh? I want to see the store because it’s okay from here. What is Benno’s store doing, how many people are working, and what kind of apprentice is doing it? I do n’t know at all. ”
“… That’s true”
It is common sense for me to collect information on where I work, but there is no internet or information magazine here. You can get information only by looking for word of mouth reviews or checking with your own eyes.
Originally knowing the work in the industry from the parent’s work, listening to stories from people who introduce them, get information about the workplace where you go.
However, if you are hiding that Benno and Otto are brothers-in-law, you will not know if the information from Otto will really flow. Benno’s introduction when he went to listen to the story of a travel merchant was also an “acquaintance when he was a travel merchant.” He didn’t explain the details of his work, probably because he was full of disappointment.
If there is an opportunity to confirm with your own eyes, I want to make effective use.
“There aren’t many products on the line”
“There are fewer customers coming in compared to the market. Are you really profitable?”
“I think it’s profitable. The shop is very clean and the employees’ preferences and movements are cleaner than the surroundings. They are well-educated and good looking, so the rich and the nobility. I wonder if you’re doing business with someone like that. “
Even people like guards standing in front of the store are dressed finer than us. It is proof that they are doing business with customers who care about their appearance.
The world is so different that there seem to be many barriers that I and Lutz need to overcome to work.
Karon Karan …….
Four bells sound to remind you of lunch.
The store began to close at the same time.
“Eh? Eh? It’ll be closed !?”
I pulled Lutz and rushed to the Benno store. If you are completely closed and no one is there, you will not know what to do.
rushed to one of the guards who was trying to withdraw into the store, showing an invitation.
“I’m sorry! We’ve been invited by Benno-san like this. Can you tell me what to do?”
“Oh, I don’t have to panic so much. I’m listening to you, but can you wait a moment until I close the store?”
If you close the store on a lunch break, you leave one person for lunch and all employees leave for lunch.
It seems that it would have been nice to speak in the daytime without having to jump out when closing the store.
The shop is closed and the shop is closed, and after all employees are scattered for lunch, we are led by the noon brother and taken to the back of the shop.
“My husband, I’m a customer”
“Oh, get me in”
Opening the door and passing us, the older brother in the daytime goes with a bow.
There is a room that can be seen at a glance when it is used for business talks, and there are various things that are unfamiliar on the back shelf.
Behind the wooden desk where Benno sat was a shelf with stacked wooden boards and parchment.
Maybe a bookshelf! ?
Since there is no book, the document shelf may be correct, but there are shelves filled with letters.
As Benno in front of me stood up, I stood on my feet and seemed to head over there and stayed there.
“Sorry I was sorry to call you. I thought I had to talk to you”
“What?”
“Let’s eat first? The story is after that”
While taking my gaze at the bookshelf that I saw for the first time, I took a seat recommended by Benno. Lutz also sat next to me with a slightly nervous face.
“I can carry it right away”
When Benno rang the bell on the desk three times, the door at the back of the room opened and a woman with a tray with a meal came in. Apparently there are stairs and it seems to be connected to the second floor.
“Welcome. Maine and Lutz. Please enjoy.”
I thought it was Benno’s wife, but nothing was introduced, so it might be an employee or a subordinate woman.
I just answered “Thank you” and I saw the tableware.
There was only a plate, a fork and a spoon, the number of cutlery was not much different from the one used in our house, and the knife was only in front of Benno.
All meals seem to have been decided by the main Benno, salad and meat were placed on a plate and soup was placed.
“Now please,”
Lutz was doing his best, but when he started eating, it seemed that my advice had blown away from his head, and he was eating quite a bit.
Lutz may want to learn manners before starting work.
I took a fork and ate while watching Benno, but there seems to be no unusual manners. I thought so, but for some reason I’m gazing at Benno.
Is something wrong? Maybe the details are different and are you worried? Ate while jumping. I’m going to eat it so vulgarly, but I don’t know what I was interested in.
The manners that I learned with this meal are to show that I left my stomach full after leaving a little.
¡I thought it would be rude if I left it, and I ate hard and ate it, but when I was added, I almost seemed to hold my mouth.
I was expecting a little for rich food, but the taste wasn’t changed so much just because it was large. The cooking method will be the same. It was disappointing. Quantity is life! It seems that Lutz was very satisfied.
“I’m satisfied with my stomach, let’s talk”
“Yes”
Benno-san has a different scent but a dark drink like coffee, and we started with a cup of herbal tea.
“I want you to hear me first”
“What is it?”
“Why did you rely on Otto?”
Sense of frustration and slight anger in Benno’s expression and tone, Lutz gave up and I tilted my head.
“I’m sorry. I don’t understand the meaning well. I always rely on Otto, but when and what is it about?”
“There was a report from Otto that the nail had been accommodated. You said it was exchanged for a liquid that glosses the hair?”
“Yes … Is there a problem? Only Otto was the person who seemed to be able to accommodate nails around me.”
I don’t understand why Benno gets angry with Otto. Wasn’t it easy to give a simple chan chan?
Benno sighed a lot to us who just couldn’t understand and just tilted their heads.
“If you use common sense as a merchant, you should have consulted me first.”
“Benno-san, are you?”
“Yes”
I looked at Benno who hesitated seriously and understood that it was the right thing with the common sense of the merchants here, but I’m still not convinced.
“But we still have no apprenticeship, isn’t it? We thought it would be wrong to talk to Benno because making paper is like an exam.”
“No. If paper is made, it will be an apprentice here and it will be a product handled in this store, so I’m the person you consult the most. Not Otto.”
Even though it is not yet an apprenticeship, you can think of it as a boss because you have been promised conditional employment. I thought papermaking was like a test, but I think it’s an extension of my job.
Then, this time, because less than apprentices are related to work, they went to consult with outsiders rather than bosses. The face of the boss is crushed.
“I’m sorry. I understand. It was the act of scratching the face of the employer, Benno, or his face. I’ll be careful.”
¡Because I understood and reflected, Benno nodded several times and then corrected his attitude.
“Now it’s a business talk. Let’s procure the materials necessary for making paper by exchanging with the way liquid is made to gloss.”
“Eh? Isn’t this an exam for making paper and becoming an apprentice? Is it okay to procure?”
I thought it was a test that had to be prepared by myself. If Benno can procure materials, making paper will be much easier.
“If you can’t make it without tools, you can’t measure your skills, and you can’t start a new business without upfront investment. The debt has collateral, but isn’t there any collateral? “
Obviously, there is no such thing as collateral for me and Lutz, the children of the poor.
“Information is not collateral because it is not something that can be returned later, isn’t it?”
“So in this case, it’s buying and selling, not debt. I buy how to make it. Instead, I’ll prepare everything I need to make paper …. isn’t it a bad deal?” 19459010]
“It’s certainly not a bad deal”
Requirement for making tools and conditions for stocking raw materials can lead to information leaks in how to make paper, but I can’t prepare a pot. I want.
“What do you think of Lutz?”
Talked to Lutz, who sat next to him and listened silently. Paper making is a collaboration between the two. I thought it wasn’t good to decide for my sole purpose.
However, Lutz lightly looks down and shakes his head.
“… Is Mine’s job to think? Just as Mine thought,”
“Yes?”
If Lutz says so, let’s summarize the story under the best possible conditions.
If you say that Benno will take care of the raw materials as well as the tools, you can concentrate on making paper.
“Let me check. Is all you need is a tool or is it okay to include ingredients?”
“You can include raw materials. Are you going to try various things? There is information that Lutz asked the lumberers to go around”
I see, the connection next to the merchant is scary. If an unfamiliar child crawls and collects information, it seems that information jumps immediately.
“How long will this assistance last?”
“It’s up to the baptismal ceremony. Until then, it’s impossible to apprentice. It’s a form where you buy what you bring. Subtracting raw materials costs and sales fees. After the baptism ceremony, we will buy and sell paper at this store and add 10% of net profit to your salary. “
There is no problem until the baptismal ceremony. Take the finished paper and have it bought. There is no problem because you can secure your own profit when the fee is increased a little.
However, I felt a little uneasy after the baptism.
It would be nice to add profit to your salary, but what if you were fired? If the salary is not paid, the profit may not be paid.
You should have felt that there is a thick wall between the common sense here and the common sense of our living sphere. There is no guarantee to ourselves after paper production is on track and it is clear that profits are generated.
“The right to make paper is mine, rather than the salary. The right to sell paper should be Lutz.”
“… what do you mean?”
“If you can make paper and get the actual thing, it’s awkward if it comes to a box. I want insurance to prevent it from being thrown out of the immediate profit.”
Benno’s eyes stroking his chin shiningly.
“Well, it’s not bad to think about self-protection. It’s full of holes in children’s Asahi”
“Uh … studying”
Since I don’t understand this common sense, I can’t do anything about the child’s superintendent wisdom.
“So what about the right to paper, but don’t you claim the right to a liquid that polishes hair?”
“Yes, I don’t do” Simple Chan Rinshan “because it’s something to sell to Benno-san”
I have no intention of claiming rights to what I sell.
For me, I wouldn’t have passed it if paper was distributed, and I just wanted to ensure that Lutz, who worked hard even if he was against the family, could work as a merchant apprentice.
“Well, right. Paper rights are yours. However, as long as you are in this store, you will buy and sell. There are no rights to price or profit arrangements. None, is that okay? ”
“Nice, it’s just insurance”
The most important thing is to secure a place to work with a salary. Earn profits later slowly.
Benco’s eye-catching salmon, cooking recipes, and beauty-related products that can be profitable if you get the ingredients are just a few of them.
“Yes, then the story is over. I’m going around the nobility’s mansion from noon. I’ll be back in the evening, so by now you have to write a purchase order here. Write everything you need to make paper. “
I’m happy with the speed of work, but I haven’t written a purchase order at the gate yet.
“… I don’t know how to write?”
“Leave the teacher role. If you can do it by evening, I will teach you what is good for your reward.”
“Good thing?”
“There is a contract method that can only be used for seriously securing your rights, dealings with aristocrats, and large-scale transactions with huge profits. It ’s not supposed to be a promise, let ’s secure your rights, not a promise ”
Surely I wanted you to make a contract instead of a promise, but I didn’t expect Benno to say it.
“… Why are you doing that? Isn’t it more convenient for Ms. Benno to make a promise?”
Benno grinned after shaking his head.
“The contract is strictly to protect my interests in Kang Chang Lin Shang. It doesn’t matter if you start claiming profits and keep claiming your rights. Instead of being abandoned, I will recognize your rights. “
“Thank you”
I would like to say that it is each other who has not trusted anyone who has only met twice.
If you leave them in the contract, you can rest assured.
Employees who had finished their lunch breaks returned and Benno appointed one employee as the teacher.He was a man who seemed to give a butler aura that he wanted to call Sebastian.
P
“Marc, Mine and Lutz. Tell them how to write a purchase order. Ask me before I get back.”
“Skillful, husband”
P
ベ ン Benno prepares to go out while giving instructions to other employees.
直 前 Just before leaving the room, I turned around and spoke to Marc.
“Oh, yes. Marc, be prepared for contract magic before I come back.”
Contract magic?
I feel that sounds like that.
That? Was this a fantasy world?
