Chapter 63
“Mine, what are you doing today? The weather is bad”
The cloudy cloudy sky seen from the window was not suitable for paper making. You can go to the forest to collect it, but if it rains along the way, I’ll be pretty clever, so you should leave it.
This spring, when I was blessed with the weather, I was devoted to making paper and earning money, and when the weather was a little bad, I walked around the city with Marc to help build a workshop.
However, the workshop was almost completed and I taught how to make it. The other day, after confirming the prototype, you can think that we are done.
“We wanted to make the last paper because Mr. Benno said that our baptism ceremony was on the next fire day, but the weather alone can’t be helped.”
“Even if the final paper is not finished, I’m rich enough to surprise myself.”
A small silver coin is given as cash and given to the family every time they sell paper. Although the food situation has improved a little, there has been no significant change in daily life, but the money deposited in the guild is tremendous. The weather was good and the paper making was relatively smooth and the price of Trombe was high.
The other day, my savings exceeded 2 large coins. Lutz is already two big coins. This is not the amount that the child before baptism has.
Well, once the baptismal ceremony is over, I won’t be able to earn for a while.
I was relieved to think that I couldn’t have forgotten by keeping the baptismal ceremony.
“Lutz, let’s go to Benno-san today. I forgot everything”
“Huh? You haven’t promised her husband anything?”
“I haven’t made a promise, but the baptism ceremony will be the next fire day. It’s better to make sure there is nothing to prepare to become an apprentice. Is n’t that why parents do n’t prepare the tools? ”
“… Ah!”
After the baptism ceremony, work as an apprentice begins, so it seems that the baptism ceremony presents are determined as work clothes and work tools. From now on, with the meaning of doing their best, the parents who are the predecessors will choose and present the tools to the children who will go on the same path.
However, Lutz cannot be prepared by his parents.
The reason is still being opposed by the father. And I don’t know the tools to prepare because my parents are not merchants. And sometimes you don’t know how much money it takes to prepare a merchant apprentice.
Benno told me that I needed clothes and ordered it, but I don’t think it would be all that much.
Even when Turi was apprentice apprentice, parents were given a set of work clothes and sewing tools on the day of the baptism. Merchants are likely to need tools other than clothes.
Fortunately, the money has been saved, so you can buy what you need. If you ask Benno or Marc, they will tell you.
“I don’t really know what tools other than clothes. I’m studying newcomer education, so I think there are stones and calculators, but what else is there?”
“I can buy most things now. It’s good to save money, as Mine says”
Aunt Carla has come to support Rutz, but she cannot do anything to become a merchant. There is no connection with the merchant, and the uncle’s opinion remains the same. However, Lutz says that life has become a little easier because his brother’s attitude is terrible.
“It’s best to go to Benno because Lutz is an apprentice and guardian is the guardian”
With my usual tote bag, I and Lutz headed to Benno’s store in a busy weather.
“Oh, wasn’t paper ready a few days away?”
Marc, who knows our schedule, found us and looked lightly.
“Benno-san has been consulted … Should I tell Marc first?”
Certainly, Marc would have been responsible for apprenticeship education at this store.
“What is it?”
“I’d like you to tell me what tools are necessary for apprenticeship. Since Lutz’s parents are not merchants, I don’t know what work tools to give at the baptismal ceremony, so I have to prepare what I need …” 19459002]
“Oh, yes, I didn’t think”
Marc looked lightly and then touched his temples with a slight eyebrow.
“It’s already a baptismal ceremony, but is it in time? If Benno is a guardian, should I consult with Benno?”
“That’s right. You should act after consulting with your husband.”
When he was passed through the back room as usual, he piled up boards and paper on the desk, and Benno wrote that he was busy.
“My husband, Lutz and Mine are visiting for consultation”
“What’s wrong?”
Benno asks without resting the hand writing on the board. I gently pushed Lutz’s back and urged me to say it myself.
“My husband wants to talk about the apprentices’ preparation tools.”
“Apprentice prepares tool?”
Benno put up a pen and raised his face to see if he had finished writing to a good place. I add an explanation to Benno who has a suspicious face if he doesn’t understand the meaning.
“I think parents usually prepare, but Lutz’s parents are not merchants, so they don’t know what they need. What do you need when you are apprentices? Only clothes Is n’t it? ”
“Oh, yes. Go shopping with Marc. There was a report that the clothes you ordered earlier were made, so you can make a few clothes as you go.”
“I understand”
Lutz slants his head loosely next to me.
“Change of clothes? Several clothes?”
“Obviously, can’t you work in the same clothes for days?”
Since it is a store that aristocrats also deal with, it looks pretty important. You can’t come out in front of customers with clothes that are stale or dirty. In fact, all the employees working in this store are dressed up neatly.
“Do you change clothes every time?”
“Yes”
“… Seriously?”
As with Turi, Lutz’s house is probably once a week when washing work clothes for work. There is no concept of changing work clothes every time the mother is on a holiday.
There aren’t many ordinary clothes, so keep on wearing the same clothes until the clothes you wash are dry. If you do laundry, the fabric will be damaged little by little, so many houses do not wash as much as possible until they can’t put up with anything other than underwear.
Unlike Benno, who works as a subordinate, it would be difficult for mothers to ask Lutz, who is the lowest in the home hierarchy, to change clothes and wash each time. However, it is necessary more than work.
“If you can’t tell Aunt Carla, Lutz should wash it yourself? There’s a day off during apprenticeship.”
“Uh …”
“If you live in an apprenticeship, you have to do it yourself.”
“Yes, that’s right”
I understand that I am surprised because it is different from my common sense. However, there is no choice but to devote myself to the common sense of the society to which I belong.
“If you hit different common sense, you can be surprised, but you can only get used to it. It’s necessary to keep customers from feeling unpleasant. That’s the difference between craftsmen and merchants.” 19459002]
“Is that so”
When Lutz crawls, Benno looks like a culture shock. I blinked slowly and whispered.
“Life is really different from the basics”
“So, if you think it’s a little strange, please point out. I really don’t know”
“Oh, let’s be careful … Marc asks for them”
“Yes, my husband”
Waiting for Marc’s work to finish, go to pick up clothes made by three people. I moved up because Marc was picked up and moved because it became a specification during workshop preparation.
“Welcome”
The shop clerk greeted me and looked at Marc and us. Me and Lutz are urged by the store clerk and taken to the back room.
“Now please try it”
The clothes offered to the store clerk are simple blouse and skirt, but they fit perfectly, because they were made to measure exactly. It’s just made-to-order even though the tension increases just because it’s a new piece with no joints.
While raising and lowering arms, squatting and standing up to check comfort, it is very comfortable and there is no place to bump or tighten.
“It ’s amazing. I feel comfortable wearing it.”
“That’s good. Marc told me I’ll wear it today, so I’ll wrap this outfit.”
While I was trying on, Lutz seemed to have ordered two more with the same design of the same size, and Marc and Lutz, who were talking to the store clerk, noticed me and turned here.
“It’s very cute. You can look like a good family just by changing clothes.”
“Oh, you look like a young lady”
Tension is raised by being complimented by two people. I picked the edge of the skirt.
“Really !? Cute? Mistress-like? Not just clothes?”
“I’m kind and I shouldn’t speak”
“Mu ….. But Lutz has been getting better recently, so it looks like an octopus”
Lutz was told by Benno about the appearance, so he removed dirt as much as possible and began washing his hair occasionally with Linshan. Lutz’s blonde is shiny and shiny.
And since I was impressed with Marc’s good posture and told me to model her, I started to pay attention to posture and movement. I came. I don’t feel like I’m dressed.
“You can now go shopping at other stores.”
It is not uncommon to eat in front of the gate with clothes. After matching the guild card and paying, Marc took us to the next store with our dressed clothes.
I arrived at a stationery store.
When I opened the wooden door with the pen mark, there was a counter in front of me, and I saw that the meek Grandpa shopkeeper was polishing something.
There are shelves on the wall and products are lined up, but there are few items in the store and only one sample is placed on the shelf. This is an ordinary store in this city. There is only a small customer service space, and most of them are warehouses.
It may be unavoidable to prevent theft, but it is a pity that the products cannot be compared.
“What do you need, Marc?”
“That’s right. Ink, pen, parchment for signing an employment contract. Did you have a stone board, a brush, and a calculator?”
Listening to Marc’s words, he sighed lightly. This is not the price that Lutz’s parents can buy. We can buy it, but neither ink nor parchment are so easy to buy in our sphere of life.
“Me too! I want ink and pen”
Taking a ride on Lutz, I also decided to buy ink and pen. I am impressed by the fact that it is now possible to buy expensive ink that should have been out of reach.
Grandpa shopkeeper arranged my ink and pen on the counter. After adjusting the guild card, I picked up the ink and pen.
“Yeah! My ink and pen!”
Lutz’s expression is a bitter smile, unlike me, who rejoices with a smile with a full smile with the purchased ink and wooden pen.
“The amount of money I’ve saved is steadily decreasing … Is merchants spending so much money?”
If you are a small shop, you should be prepared with tools that match it. I don’t buy parchment for employment contracts. I’ll do it with a wooden bill.
“It’s not just a merchant, but Benno’s store is big, but you still have enough money?”
“But I’m getting a little anxious because I’ve lost so much today. I can’t rely on my parents and I want to make more paper before the baptism.”
“I don’t have much time so I just hope it’s sunny”
Return to Benno’s shop and report that shopping is over. Benno told us, “The next time you come to the store, come with that clothes.” When I looked like an apprentice, I was asked to press a drum.
“Hey, Lutz. Where are you going to put it? Warehouse?”
“It’s safest …”
Although it is a bit cumbersome, Benno gave up his shoulder lightly when he talked about whether to borrow the key to the warehouse and put the items he bought.
“Why don’t you put it in the warehouse separately, should I put it in my room?”
“That’s Benno. I don’t have my own room. I can only hold my things in a wooden box.”
Benno rounded his eyes when he pointed out the difference in living standards. Looking at Corinna’s house, there was plenty of room. Apparently, Benno, who grew up as a trace of a big store, seemed to have no acquaintances around him who didn’t have his own room.
“Ouchi is a little worse than Mine’s house. Even if you put it in your wooden box, it will be caught and picked up by you.”
“What do you mean?”
Benno’s eyes are dyed in surprise. I explain the situation of the life of Lutz to Benno who narrows his eyes just because he can’t understand.
“It ’s the youngest of the four brothers, Lutz. That’s why it ’s hard to be loved by the older brothers.”
“How much can I steal brothers?”
“I’m fine because it’s my brother’s thing. My brother’s thing is my brother’s thing. My brother’s thing is like my brother’s thing.”
Listening to Lutz’s home environment, Benno holds down his temple. Perhaps the standard of living is too different to imagine.
Despite struggling to support his family after losing his father, Benno has never been caught by his family, nor has he had any trouble with the place to put things. Has a stunning face.
“Lutz. Why don’t you leave your luggage on top? Let’s lend a room for a living apprentice at a cheap price. If this happens, the future work will be hindered, and the warehouse will be too far away. “
“… Thank you”
Due to Benno’s plan, one apprentice room on the top floor can be used as a cheap store instead of a warehouse. If you put your purchases here and lock them, you won’t have to worry about being stolen by others.
“The next time you go to the store, do you change clothes here?”
“I do”
Lutz, who has his own space for the first time, has a full smile. I decided to leave my purchased luggage until I left home. “If you have time, I’ll go to the commercial guild,” Benno said, so you can’t go home right away.
“You can’t do your job without telling me about the guild first.”
The merchant’s children go in and out of the commercial guild many times with the help of their parents. The job of being able to start an apprentice coming into the store from the beginning is used for commercial guilds.
However, since Lutz has not gone to commercial guilds since the delivery of Frida’s hair ornaments, such work cannot be done naturally. have never done.
“Is there anything else?”
While thinking of what a merchant’s child can do, Benno goes to the commercial guild with some application documents in Lutz. I decided to go out with the intention of reading the bookshelf.
“Wow …”
“This is terrible”
In front of the commercial guild facing the central square, several wagons are waiting in line, or the wagons are entrusted to the passengers, and you can see the appearance of a traveling merchant heading for the application. Already crowded.
“There seems to be many people on the second floor”
“The baptismal ceremony is near and the day when the city stands is near”
The crowd on the second floor was amazing, as predicted from the wagons lined up outside. Lutz walks behind Benno up to the back staircase, being muffled. I’m hugged by Benno as usual, so I won’t be messed up.
As soon as I started showing the guild card to the guard in front of the stairs and started going up the stairs, the noise disappeared. I’m sure that the fence also has magic that doesn’t let sound through.
“It’s a pretty hard job, too”
You can’t use it without scratching your own human wave without Benno’s guidance. Lutz sighed with Hua.
“Be careful because documents can be stolen or lost by people.”
“Yes”
“Now, this is the document …”
Benno goes to the counter, explaining to Lutz. I turned to Benno and tried to go to the bookshelf, but I was hit by my head and grabbed my neck.
“Where do you want to go?”
“… the bookshelf is calling me”
“Don’t call me. Don’t call me. If you’re a studio manager, listen to me properly.”
“Yes”
Ask Benno how to use the guild. You will be taught in detail how to accept and where to place documents.
It was said that it is important to browse the registered contract magic, especially because I am trying to develop a new product.
“If you apply here, you can view registered contract magic”
“Oh, Mine”
A pale pink twin tail rushed from the back of the counter. There can be no mistake. My granddaughter, Frida. Apparently it looks like an apprentice working.
When I was surprised that I didn’t want to see you, Frida put my hand on her hip and sharpened her lips.
“While spring is about to end, you won’t come to play at all”
“Oh sorry, I’m pretty busy …”
I’m sorry that I was busy making paper and a workshop, but I’m sorry. I finished making sweets and fulfilled my promise, and I thought it would be good. The solicitation is amazing when I go there, I don’t know where the habit is in the conversation, and I can’t calm down.
“Tomorrow I’m on holiday and come to my house to play”
“Eh, but if the weather is fine tomorrow …”
[Benno’s fingertips on his shoulders turned into power for a moment.
I wanted to say that I wanted to make the remaining paper, but remember that we were told to make paper as much as possible, hurry and close my mouth in the middle .
Frida smiled with a smile after turning his eyes to Benno’s hand.
“If it rains tomorrow, I will pick you up. If the weather is fine, I’ll be busy, but if it’s raining, will you play with me?
“Wow …”
That’s hard to refuse. Certainly, if the weather is bad, you can’t make paper, so you can afford. Frida keeps chasing me in trouble.
“I have something to ask and talk about eating.”
“Oh, I might have heard something”
Frieda is the most familiar person eating around me. I had the opportunity to talk because it was something I wanted to hear.
frida shined my face in my words and put my hands together.
“It’s fine if it’s raining. I’m waiting for you to make a turtle curl”
“Yes, if it rains …”
At the moment when I was attracted to and consented to Kathalkar, my shoulders got a lot of power. Benno laughed as he raised the blood vessels in his temple.
“Mine”
“If tomorrow is rain, I’m talking about Benno”
“That’s right. If it’s raining tomorrow, what are you talking about?”
I got on Frida, who laughed with a smile and gave out a helping ship. Hit your finger to bite into your shoulder and look up at Benno.
Benno shouted “This absurd” with a low voice.
“It will rain tomorrow”
“Huh?”
Even if there is no weather forecast, everyone seems to know the weather.
The rain that began to fall in the evening did not stop the next day.
