Chapter 109
Rosina began working on calculations and paperwork that she was not good at as a side service. Delia, who works by herself alone, sharpened her lips a little unsatisfactory, but did not complain about having Rosina, who can read and write close to adults, reduce the burden on Franc.
It seems that he keeps the time to play the festival, and knows that Delia is looking forward to it, and knows that he is watching the festival in an interesting way. When I said, “Would you like me to ask you to tell me?”, I was angry with “That’s not it! Moh!”, But I thought it was a matter of time.
And, as I said to Vilma, when I looked at Rosina, I was sent off every day to be disappointed with my lack of goods.
Because, every move is different. Even if Rosina walks, it’s as light and elegant as watching a dance, and each movement is laid-back, it’s not fast, it’s flowing, it’s not slow. Has a strange rhythm.
How to tilt the neck, carry the pen, and judge the hem of the costume, all of which are elegant as if using the nerve to the end, but there is no feeling like attached, it is natural to the last.
“Do you really learn to behave like Rosina?”
“Calculations are more difficult than standing behavior. I would like to know how Mine-sama gained computational skills at that age.”
‘Look at the faces and laugh small. There is only practice to overcome weakness.
Listening to Rosina’s attention, I and Delia take care of their behavior. Delia who has the purpose of wanting to be a mistress feels better.
The invitation from the chief received a lunch invitation. The specified date is 10 days later. In the invitation, “Let’s bring a musical instrument to follow the results of the practice of Feshpeel”, and when we were specially trained with Rosina, who was drawn to blood, the first task given by the chief priest Became able to play without problems in three days.
…… I realized that the goal and the conclusion will grow people.
As a first reward, Rosina who gave me the teacher of Feshpeel gave me clothes for going out, and Vilma who finished the carta gave me a bundle of paper so that I could use it for sketching.
“Benno-san, when is it likely to be taken to the ink workshop?”
I want to make ink before winter, so I want to visit the ink workshop before making it. When I ask Benno to do so before I go to the temple, Benno shakes my head lightly.
“Ink is coming later. The construction of the restaurant is about to end. I want to talk a little more about the interior.”
When I wanted to take me to the ink workshop, I was taken to an Italian restaurant for some reason.
“What do you do when you go to a restaurant?”
“The exterior is now complete, so the next is interior. I would like to see opinions about tapestry and art decorations with reference to the temple’s aristocratic area.
Benno’s way of saying is that he wants Fran’s opinion, and I feel like he’s treated as a bonus. I don’t know much about the aristocratic interior, so I think it can’t be helped.
I was relieved where I thought. There is another person on my side who seems to be familiar with art and interior decorations.
“… Would you bring Rosina if you want an opinion on the art? A new side service, but a child who was specially loved by art-loving aristocrats, a gray nobility like a noble than a lower aristocrat.” Maybe there will be opinions from the perspective of female nobility? ”
franc is educated by the chief priest, so he is familiar with the rules of the nobility that he should do this, but the squares and squares are not very flexible. Because the priest himself hates waste, there is a tendency for “simple is the best”.
In that respect, Rosina is taking a lot of pottery of an art maiden, so there is a part of play for anything. There is a sense in the arrangement and display of things. Since Rosina came, there have been more flowers in the room, and the storage has changed from being hidden to showing.
“Well, that’s fine. Then, tomorrow afternoon, I’ll send a carriage to the temple, so I’m going to see the restaurant. Then Hugo will also go to the restaurant, so tomorrow’s meal will be the rest of the staff. Please do something with it. “
“Hey”
Although I was disappointed that the visit to the ink workshop was washed away, I was happy that the restaurant was completed. While talking with Lutz, “I ’m looking forward to it,” go to the temple and tell them about tomorrow ’s schedule.
“Tomorrow, Benno-sama will be bringing a carriage, so you want me to come to the restaurant. Will Fran and Rosina accompany me as a follower?”
“I’m smart”
Franc and Rosina asked.
“And then I want Fugo to see the kitchen. Tomorrow, let’s rest Fugo and tell them to head to the Gilberta firm … Is the new chef all right?” 19459002]
“If there is an error, it seems to be able to proceed without problems”
Fugo and others were notified through francs. The new chef seems uneasy, but Fugo was originally cooked together with Ella, so it should be somehow.
The next day, after having lunch, Fran and Rosina changed their clothes to go out, and I took off the blue clothes and helped Delia to change into a noble blouse with long cuffs. There is Fugo when you go to the site, so you need to dress like a noble and behave.
“I wanted to go too. Moh! Isn’t it just my answering machine?”
“I ’m sorry, Delia. I want Rosina ’s opinion this time.”
Talk to Delia who helped me with preparations, looking with a grudge. As expected, I can’t take Delia because I don’t know how much she can reach the temple head.
And the only answering machine is the result of Delia’s opinion that she wants to polish herself rather than going to the orphanage and going to the forest. It seems.
“Do you need a reward for Delia who will always answer, and arrange the room?”
Talking to Delia, me, Fran and Rosina boarded the carriage that Benno gave us.
franc is usual brown clothes, Rosina wears a dark green bodice with geometric pattern embroidery on a moss green dress. It fits well with fluffy maroon hair and is a deep window lady from anywhere.
While serving Christine, he seems to have only wore gray priests as long as he was in the temple. When I praised Rosina, she shrugged and lightly pulled the skirt’s hem.
…… Embarrassed and very cute, do you think you can imitate me? No, I don’t think so.
In the carriage, explain to Rosina about the Italian restaurant and what he does today.
“Italian restaurant is aiming for an aristocratic cafeteria. I’m thinking of a wealthy class like a husband in a big store as a customer, so I’m going to care about the interior. I would like to see the opinions of Fran and Rosina. “
“… Do you want to arrange Christine’s room?”
I asked Rosina’s words. Fran also asks for the opinion of the room of the head of the priest and the head of the temple.
“So we’re going to give you an opinion, so be careful not to say so much. If you have a fugo, please be sure to give me an opinion through us.” [19459002 ]
“… Yes”
When the talk about business relations with Benno begins, it will become hot and the number of words will increase, so it seems that there is no choice but to write on the letter board today.
… I don’t want to be just a young lady. There is no freedom to talk …
Lutz was waiting at the entrance when the rattling swaying wagon arrived at the restaurant where the exterior work was finished. Today I am also a nobleman, but Lutz seems to be a merchant apprentice to the nobility and corrects his attitude.
“Welcome welcome”
“Thank you for inviting me”
greeted me like a banquet between me and Lutz. It ’s just that you did n’t laugh at each other ’s clean faces.
When a large decorative wooden door was opened and stepped in, it was a small hall that resembled the first floor of my room.
“This is a waiting room for reception and billing, the kitchen on the left and the cafeteria on the right.”
Lutz said so, if he showed the right side, he could see the door coming in, or could see a white wall with a hole in the square. You can see Benno in the back.
“Mine, welcome, this is the restaurant cafeteria”
Benno also greets me with a noble language.
The basics of the interior seem to be modeled on my room, which is Benno’s closest noble room.
“… It’s a killing scene”
“Of course we are going to stretch the waist wall. However, the sculptured waist wall is not easily delivered.”
I am restricted from speaking, and write small on the writing board as “Delivery date for waist wall”.
“While we have decided what kind of wall and shelf should be, we haven’t yet decided what art to decorate. Choose a tapestry, painting, sculpture, plant, and where and how to place it. I would love to hear from Mine. ”
Benno’s line of sight is toward Fran and Rosina, saying he wants to hear my opinion.
“What shelf do you plan to put here?”
“Does the decoration change depending on the size, width, and color?”
Benno answers two questions.
Benno knows the fashion among the nobility because he is a merchant entering and leaving the nobility. However, as expected, the sense of art and decoration was Rosina’s exclusive place.
And Rosina’s opinion is that Franc gives a cheaper alternative, or it is too gorgeous if it is not necessary so far.
I was taking notes on the writing board a little while listening to the opinions of the two people, without bothering me. If you look from the side, you won’t know who is the follower.
“Does Mine have anything you think is necessary for the interior?”
“… Yes, I think it would be very nice to have a bookshelf in one corner.”
Benno, who opened his eyes wide, scorned me with a face that seemed to squeeze, as he said, “Absurd! Dismissed. How much money do you intend to spend?”
“Mine, isn’t it impossible to arrange books as decorations?”
“If you put it in the cafeteria, the smell will move”
Refused by the two servings, I whispered. I know it’s impossible. I thought that I wanted it, so I just made it as an opinion.
I closed my mouth and decided to listen quietly to the two sidemen talking.
“If the store opens after spring, isn’t it better to place more emphasis on carpets than tapestries? Carpets are always laid in aristocratic rooms to eliminate footsteps and wagons.” [ 19459002]
“It’s hard to find wagons that are easy to move and thick, but it’s worth it.”
Opinions come out not only from aristocrats but also from the perspective of serving servants. Me and Benno wrote down their opinions on the writing board.
Talk about the number of tables, the number of chairs, and the space where spares are kept.
“It’s about this …”
“If you want a noble meal, why not use a napkin instead of a tablecloth?”
Franc said.
The table cloth is not used to improve the appearance as in the Reino period, but is used to wipe dirty hands with meals, wipe the mouth, and bite the nose in severe cases . If it’s new, it won’t get rid of food stains if used several times, and the hygiene situation here is extremely unsanitary. It seems that it is too filthy and can cause epidemics such as dysentery.
“What is a napkin?”
“I think it would be nice to think of the tablecloth as a small piece to wipe your hands individually. Recently, aristocrats have started using napkins instead of tablecloths. As a reference, “
¡Fran ’s words revealed that my face was shining.
“Fran, that opinion is wonderful”
“Mine-sama?”
“If you use a clean table cloth, you will lose the sense of quality. If you use it individually, it is easy to change it to a new one even if it gets dirty. If there is a tablecloth, there must be a customer who uses it. Let’s move away from the tablecloth and prepare a napkin. ”
Ben, stroking his chin like thinking, I was shown by Rosina to gently hit her shoulder and close her mouth.
…… Did you get too excited? But I really didn’t like dirty tablecloths.
And after the meeting of the cafeteria was over, I went to the kitchen next time. Although it is almost the same as my room, I look around the slightly larger kitchen.
In the kitchen, Fugo was talking to Marc. This is a story about cooking utensils, ingredients, and rice cakes. Ask Fran to ask what kind of story it was.
“Basically, I will prepare the same tools that I use in Mine’s kitchen”
So Fugo answered. I hear it, but Francs repeats it and asks for my opinion.
“We know that there is no problem because the cooking utensils are of the same kind, but please consider the size carefully. Please order a small dish in case you are too busy to wash it immediately. It is better to have several tools. “
Fougo looked like the scales fell from his eyes when he expressed his opinion to go to Franc. You can see Marc writing down on the writing board, which he seemed to make.
“It ’s better to have about 3 places where the ingredients are fresh and provide good flavours, and then you will need a lot of firewood when you use the oven. Please start to secure it early, with a view to purchasing from other cities. “
After completing the frantic exchange of opinions in the kitchen, leaving Marc and Fugo, all the rest got on a carriage and headed for Gilberta Chamber of Commerce.
To exchange opinions without hesitation in the store.
When I entered the back of the store, I threw away the mask of the lady. Rosina is frowning, but the attitude of a lady to negotiate with Benno is awkward because she doesn’t know if the opinions are communicated or not.
Open the writing board and ask Benno what I was interested in.
“Then I’ll ask you where I’m concerned …. I told you that the delivery of the waist wall is late, but when will it be? Is it the key to the interior? If you don’t, you can’t decorate a picture or put a shelf on it. “
“It looks like you’re in a hurry in the workshop, but it’s definitely going to be over in winter. Not only the waist wall but also doors and window frames”
Benno says that it can’t be helped even if it takes time, but I felt something that got caught in the word.
“Well, maybe you’re asking for one workshop?”
“… usually you would ask a dedicated workshop?”
Demanding complex sculptures, it’s obviously overworked with doors and window frames as well as the waist wall.
“It can’t be helped if delivery is delayed. Why don’t you order in several wood workshops? If you ask one workshop, when will it be completed?
“But there’s also a relationship so far …”
“If you don’t have an exclusive contract to make a restaurant, there’s no problem. If you don’t allocate the waist wall here, the interior door decoration and window frame decoration over there, the display shelf and furniture there. I don’t think it will be completed indefinitely. “
However, according to Benno, it seems normal to spend a lot of time here to make one store. Up until now, the workshops have only purchased equipment that has already been equipped, so it seems that it was common, just because it took less time.
“I think it’s not bad to make connections with various workshops, but if it’s common to leave it to one workshop, I’ll leave the merchant’s world to Mr. Benno …. However, if you give detailed instructions on the wood material and design, craftsmen will finish it normally. ”
“… Let me think”
While Benno was writing something on the wooden bill, I moved my eyes to the next item.
“What do you do with tableware? Woodware is not often used for tableware for aristocrats?”
“… I’m ordering a pewter dish, but it’s going to take too much time. It’s hard to make the same number and the nobility doesn’t use it again.
A cheap dining room is common, and recently it has gradually decreased, but it is not uncommon to share dishes. However, the nobility seems different.
If you want to prepare tableware for everyone, it is natural that it takes time because it is basically handmade. That’s why I think it would be nice to ask a workshop here and there.
“Isn’t it possible to change the workshop for each table? After that, depending on the price of the dish …”
“You are a little too hurry”
It seems that it is not very welcome to ask multiple workshops at once. I also sigh lightly on Benno’s bitter face and consider using a workshop that is not in the same industry.
“Why don’t you put your hands on silverware and ceramics, not just pewters?”
“It’s too expensive”
Benno drew his eyebrows unwillingly.
“It’s just a premium customer that gives a premier feel. You should usually decorate it.”
“… I see. What do you think?”
When Benno looks at Fran and Rosina, Fran opens his mouth.
“Mine’s opinion seems to be relatively valid. The nobles also invite you to change the plate. Other than that …”
According to Fran and Rosina, aristocrats bring their own cutlery and cups to go to eat. Sometimes they can boast of their quality, and there are dishes that are handed down from generation to generation. Tableware is a property. Those who consider poisoning say that it is not uncommon to prepare dishes.
“People don’t have such customs”
“If you don’t, you should expand your aristocratic habits. You’ll be prepared in the store, but you’ll have to bring a cutlery and a cup as an aristocratic habit in your first tasting invitation. If you’re a rich man, you’re likely to have a tableware that you are proud of, and you might want to brag about it and prepare a new one. Isn’t Benno proud of the tableware? “
Benno sings in my words.
“… Yes, I feel like I won’t be able to pick up when the bragging battle begins, but if I’m told to bring it, there’s something I’d like to take away.”
“Then, how about adopting the customs of aristocrats? If you basically bring them in after that, I don’t think you need much cutlery to prepare in the store.
Benno said that the biggest concern in arranging the interior like an aristocratic house was theft, looting and destruction by customers. I can’t understand stealing things in the store, but it seems not unusual.
“Oh, that’s right … you said before that you’ve come up with measures to defeat payments and prevent theft?”
I reluctantly answered my heart.
“That’s right,” I refuse Mr. Ichimi “”
“What is it?”
