Chapter 120
I went to the Gilberta firm today, so I wore apprenticeship clothes. Apprentice clothes and beautiful clothes that I have are thin long sleeves, so this season is a bit cold. Recently, I loved the hooded poncho that Benno gave me last winter, but I can’t stay in this forever.
“You have to buy winter clothes soon”
“Northern clothes?”
I asked the words of Turi. Recently, when I am at home, I often fall asleep, so I don’t really need everyday clothes. Since people often go to temples and Gilberta firms, they need winter clothes that match them.
“Invite me when I go to the store. I will definitely win this time”
Speaking of which, I remember that Turi and Lutz were in the draw before. Since then, Turi has been very eager to see clothes.
“That’s Turi. Today I’m going to Benno-san for a book, so I was thinking about buying clothes as it is.”
“… I am working today?”
Yesterday, I was absent, so I asked Mine Kobo to help me. Today’s Turi is a job. I put a picture book in my usual tote bag while laughing smallly in Turi, who has a grudge.
“Turi, don’t look like that”
“Because you”
“Since I have to buy winter clothes for the sidemen, let’s go if my Turi holiday overlaps. If you’re doing a sewing class, you should have one North clothes for Turi. Is n’t it good? ”
“Eh my part?”
¡I was a cooking class teacher, had my children go to the forest, and now I would like to have a sewing class teacher, and Turi cooperated a lot, but I paid my salary properly There is nothing.
Lutz feels like being transferred from Gilberta Shokai and pays a little color to his salary, and there is some money for new products, so I was thinking of giving something to Turi soon. It is.
“Becoming a teacher, think it’s a salary”
“… I can’t tell you a big deal, but it’s expensive,”
ぅ My lips are sharpened and my cheeks are inflated, but my cheeks are dyed in roses and the expression of Turi looks happy. If you are happy, that’s fine. Yeah, let ’s spur it.
“Let’s go, Mine”
Lutz came to pick me up, so I went out with a bag. You can feel the wind gradually chilling.
“Good morning, Lutz … Lutz decided to use it too?”
Lutz said that he was quite cramped over the course of one year, so he said he was a little cramped and disliked. I wear a poncho of a different color from me.
“The next time we had a holiday with Turi, we were talking about buying winter clothes.”
“I have clothes, really,”
Lutz sighed lightly while looking down at the smaller poncho.
By the way, I also grew a little. Because the poncho that was sloppy like a teruteru shaved has become a little bit oversized.
I think that this is because serious devotion of magical power has reduced the chances of being eaten and falling. The frailty remains the same, but the number of times you can eat normal rice increases as the number of falls is reduced. In addition, the rice eaten in the temple is a luxurious meal that nobles eat.
The number of times I collapsed was slightly reduced, and as a result of being able to eat nutritious foods, I became a little bigger. Thanks to Leidenshaft, the god of fire that controls growth!
“Pray to God!”
“What suddenly ?!”
“Oh, sorry. Somehow”
Apparently, I’m quite used to the customs of the temple. You can do nature and nature in the city. If you are not careful.
I reached the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce with Lutz, with the embarrassed sweat of the people who were paying attention.
“Good morning, Marc-san. Do you have anything you want to show to Benno-san?”
“Yeah, my husband is in the back room. Please wait …”
Marc took over and me and Lutz entered the back room. In the back room, Benno writes something to the office desk.
“Good morning, Mr. Benno”
“Good morning, husband”
Waiting for Benno’s hand to finish moving, when Luz greets me and Benno puts a pen and returns the greeting. Gently turn his back and loosen his body and tell Lutz to go to the table.
“I’m smart”
Lutz said that, when I told him to sit down, he disappeared into the back door leading to Benno’s house.
“Benno-san, what is Lutz?”
“Oh, I went to the subordinate to prepare tea”
Benno has also moved towards the table. It’s natural, but I’ve never seen Lutz rising up from the back door.
“Are you sure you want to enter?”
“You don’t … Lutz is Dupura?” I’m still a kid, so I’m only taking care of lunch, and I’m taking it from my parents, but after adulthood I lived in my house like Marc. I will take care of my life. “
“Hey …”
I did not become a merchant apprentice, but I cannot clearly recognize the difference between Darua and Dapura. I was only thinking about contract employees and executive candidates.
“Your knowledge is really biased”
Lutz returned almost at the same time Benno exhales as if amazed. Lutz stands behind Benno, lines up next to me, or makes a mistake.
“Lutz, I made it together, so I sat here this time”
When he called Lutz by hitting the chair next to Pepsi, Benno also struck lightly. Lutz sat next to me and laughed a little.
“So what do you want to show?”
“Jajan! This is! A scripture picture book for children”
“…… Is it possible?”
After leaking a belief that I couldn’t believe, Benno picked up the picture book I gave me. Look back and front alternately, stare at the thread that is bound and narrow your eyes.
“Is this fastened with thread only? Isn’t glue used?”
“
I was told that I wanted to eat more than glue. I couldn’t make a paste using flour for me who knew they were hungry.
Benno strokes the watermark on the cover while saying “Fun”.
“Nevertheless, a cover that isn’t a skin is rare. Is this the same flower watermark that I got before?”
“Yes. Since it’s a cover, I tried it a little bit. I think it would be a little more cute if I could color it. I thought about taking dye from the nuts, but the children at the orphanage are unavoidable. I’m going to give priority to appetite. “
Children who started working from the point of wanting to eat full stomach. Naturally, for them food is more important than books. This time I gave priority to completion, but I have to consider taking dye from nuts, grass, stones, and bark of trees that I can’t eat when I have time. This is an issue for the future.
“How far has it been done with just black and white?”
While saying so, Benno crawls the cover page. The picture that appears most impressive with the page open is the Vilma painting. Benno opened his eyes and looked into the picture.
“… This picture is amazing. What is this?”
“Ufufu, you can cut the cardboard with a cutter and print it with ink from above. Well, a stencil or a cut-out picture. It’s like that. Vilma worked hard on the new technique.
Benno held his head with sighs when I was proud of my side service.
“A new method … You don’t have to consult again, without permission … Next to next”
“Well, don’t hold that much of your head. The book on the plant paper itself is new, so what are you feeling now?”
Although there are books using parchment, books using plant paper will be the first attempt. There is a new technique picture added to it, and it is a problem if you complain.
“Now, you …”
“Because, for the first time, a new plant paper was drawn with a new method of ink, a new technique, and a book that was printed with a new technique called printing was bound with only a thread called Japanese binding.
There is no existing part.
Benno looked at the picture book with his eyes looking like an eerie thing, and scratched his head.
“My head hurts … so how much does it cost?”
“If you think about recovering your initial investment, there are 1 small gold coin and 5 large silver coins. If you make more and more picture books, the initial investment will be dispersed, so finally the large silver coin 8 Will it settle down to about a sheet? “
煤 Although we have also raked ourselves this time, raw materials costs will increase if we actually make cocoons and make ink. If you normally calculate the costs, raw material costs, labor costs, and fees used for the initial investment, it should be about that price.
Actually, I made paper by myself and bought everything at Orphanage through Lutz, so it was cheaper because I didn’t pay a fee to Benno.
“Wow ……”
“If you sell Folin paper a little more, the price can be reduced. Can you reduce the price of the book a little more? But the ink is not good. What should I do if linseed oil is not cheap? It ’s really expensive. ”
‘I ’m sorry, Benno shook his head loosely.
“Books bought by aristocrats cost 4-5 gold coins, so it’s cheaper than that. It’s cheap, and the content is easy, so it’s suitable for kids to learn.” [19459002 ]
“If you want to be gorgeous, you can’t do it if you just want to cover the cover. I’d rather have more than the cover.”
The act of buying a book is impossible if you can’t live like an aristocrat. However, if you can get a little cheaper, I think there are people who want the status. If you are a brilliant rich man, you should bite if you make the cover a little gorgeous.
“I see. Certainly, if you’re around the millionaire, you’re going to take your hand. Isn’t there any plan to make another book?”
“I’m going to make some picture books like this for a while. It’s hard to cut out the letters, so I want to keep the text short. And the painters in my house are limited in what I can draw. I’m a boxed girl who has never been out of the temple, so I can’t draw anything general. “
Recently, I started making soup, but it was a little better, but there are many foods that I don’t know about the prototype, and there are many things that I don’t have enough orphanages. It’s also clear from the lack of tools, sewing tools, knives and scissors to go to the forest.
“… It’s also extreme”
“Because there is a difference in the living environment, there is nothing I can do about it. It is best for Vilma to draw a picture that is suitable for Vilma. You should think about such a material. There are many stories about God. Because there are. “
“But it’s all about the story of God …”
“It ’s a bit boring?”
Lutz’s words made me laugh. For orphanage children, it is easy to get on and the best bite, but it seems to be not received in the city at all.
“And if you make a book with only letters, there is something you want to make first, aiming for efficiency and mass production.”
“What?”
“One is the base paper for printing on the print. Thin and uniform enough to see through.
Honestly I don’t think it will succeed easily. A lot of failed plant papers can be made, and repeated trial and error when thinking about blending wax, it is difficult to paint thinly, and it must be exhausted. However, once completed, the text will be carved in the way of writing, so it should be very easy.
“Wax? … Isn’t this season impossible? The studio is too busy”
“That’s right? The other is typographic printing. I’m currently wondering which way to make stencil or to start typography for typographic printing”
“What is the problem?”
Benno leans his head. Lutz leaned in the same way.
“If you can secure Johan in the blacksmith workshop, it’s not so difficult to make a type. But letterpress is a hard job to handle a press. It’s a little hard for orphanage children
The newspaper is said to be a press because it comes from printing under pressure. If you want to do letterpress here, it will be a tough job.
“And it’s difficult to make a base paper for gully printing, but if you can make a base paper, the printing itself can be done by children.”
“Mu, it’s difficult”
Benno and Lutz bothered their eyes.
“Well? Well, either way, I can’t do anything without saving money. I used it a lot. This picture book is going to be an orphanage textbook, so there’s no profit …”
“Huh? Don’t sell it? Mine, what are you thinking about?”
Benno’s thunder fell to me, thinking I could get it back if the orphanage winter handicraft sold widely. I blink my eyes several times, shaking my shoulders.
“Eh? Eh? What is Benno-san saying? If you sell it, textbooks will disappear”
“What to do with something that isn’t for sale ?! It seems to sell, so it sells!”
“I don’t like it! Textbooks! And it’s a good initial investment to raise the literacy rate! It’s opening up the future purchasing layer.”
This winter, I have decided to experiment to see if a temple classroom can be held at an orphanage. Textbooks are never sold. Rather, I want to buy a number of calculators such as stone plates and abacus.
I tried hard to appeal, but Benno shook his head with a tired look.
“I don’t understand what you think”
“… I don’t know how much this picture book can be accepted by the children in the city, right?” I think that’s about it, and I’ll make a new picture book that is likely to be popular and sell it for sale. It’s better. “
As long as textbooks can be taken up, it is better to make new picture books that are likely to sell.
“If it’s a new picture book?”
“Are you thinking about the next story?”
Both Benno and Lutz look amazingly surprised, but even if they don’t think so much, there are plenty of stories. However, the number will only decrease if it matches the picture that Virma can draw.
“If you talk about princesses, I think you can draw Vilma, who served as a princess of the nobility. If you write rough lines, I’d like to see the priest and make it a picture book.”
I think a picture book based on Cinderella is possible. If you draw a princess with Christine as a model, you should be like that. The prince … I don’t know what will happen, but at the time of the star festival, all the side servants should have been to the nobility town with their own lord, and it’s probably okay.
“Well, if you sell it, it’s a story after making it. So how much should I pay for this picture book?”
“This is a dedication to those who helped me, so I don’t need money …”
When I looked at Benno with my words clouded, Benno lightly raised his lip.
“… What do you want this time?”
“I want to buy winter clothes for the next Turi holiday, so please take me to the second-hand clothes shop that I took before”
“Oh, I understand. Let me or Marc move. What else?”
Being prompted by Benno, I took out the letter board and opened it. Look down on the writing board where you should ask Benno.
“I have a consultation on pork processing at an orphanage, but do you need salt and spices? What should I prepare? How much do I have to prepare?” Since this is the first time at an orphanage, I think we have to have everything, including tools, … “
“… It will cost money. Are you okay?”
Benno glanced at me. I looked back at Benno’s reddish-brown eyes and whispered.
“I’m prepared to blow all of Trombe’s profits”
The Mine Kobo Orphanage Branch was created so that the children of the orphanage can live independently. Most of the money they pay for labor costs and the profits of the workshop can be used for orphanages.
“Okay. Let’s get it together. Instead, do you use men? Isn’t there enough manpower?”
“I understand …. And what about ceremonial costumes? I want you to check with Corinna-san”
When I dropped my gaze on the writing board and stated another concern, Benno was confused.
“Oh, Corinna was also saying. If you have time, go to Corinna today. He said you wanted to sew.”
Benno stood up and headed to the office desk, ringing the bell and calling for a woman to work. Ask Corinna’s schedule and ask them to tell you that I am. The woman who went back and forth on the stairs said that she wanted to wait a bit until Corinna was ready, and went back up.
“Mr. Benno, if you work, you can do it. The story is over.”
“It’s bad”
Now that the winter season is approaching, logistics is thriving, and Benno, the husband of a big store, is busy. It is bad to wear Benno after the talk forever.
While I’m waiting, I’ll write a picture book while talking to Lutz about Cinderella.
The sound of a bell rang from somewhere. Benno, who raised his face, just said, “Lutz, take Mine to Corinna” and turn his face down again.
Guided by Lutz, I went up the stairs from the back door and headed to Corinna’s house.
“Colinna, Lutz. Brought Mine.”
“Come on, Maine-chan. Lutz, I’m happy to come back.”
Unlike before, Corinna was wearing loose clothes that did not tighten the stomach. Perhaps it was because of that, it seemed a little hungry. It looks like everything is going well.
“Are you embroidery nicely?”
The blue fabric spread out by Corinna has a rough line for cutting, and in accordance with this, a relaxed water flow and flowers from spring, summer, autumn and winter are drawn in embroidery from top to bottom. Yes.
“Beautiful …”
“Now, this is a garment costume. Please try it on. I want to make sure there is no problem with the length.”
Thread sleeves through a garment costume made of cloth different from the actual one. It was just perfect, and it was almost perfect. If it is tailored to this size, it will soon be unusable.
Hey, I’m getting bigger. Ufufun.
“Colinna, the dough will be saved for a long time.”
“Do you fry?”
“I’d like you to have enough time to make it so that you can wear it even when you grow up. Fold it in and sew it in, or remove the folds …”
«When I picked up the fabric around my waist and folded it, Corinna leaned on her neck.
“Is it going to be like clothes at the baptismal ceremony? But don’t you need extra pleats for the ceremonial outfit?”
“That clothes … just fit it so that you can wear Turi’s, but it’s the same thing. If you put scissors and cut the cloth, you can’t add it later and spread it. Instead of making pleats separately, it would be nice to have them folded around the waist, shoulders and cuffs to tighten the band … “
«When I picked up the sleeves and shoulders and said so, Corinna tilted her head, blinking mysteriously.
“If you can’t wear it, you should tailor the next? There is also a fashion, and if you don’t match your body, your clothes won’t be beautiful.”
If you are wearing a kimono, raise your hips and shoulders so that you can use them when you grow up. However, it seems that there is no emphasis on wearing clothes for a long time in the style of selling clothes that can no longer be worn here and buying the next one.
“Colinna-san, it’s a noble story, isn’t it? I can’t tailor it again and again because of how much I grew up.
This time, it was good that Benno’s gift happened, so it was good that it was finished with the price to be dyed and tailored, but if it was made from cloth, it would cost more than twice due to the cost of yarn and weaving. There is no money to make such a high-quality fabric over and over again.
“That’s right. It’s only the upper noble costumes that are made with such a high-quality cloth, so the feeling seems a little paralyzed. Mine is not a noble.” [19459002 ]
“I don’t think it’s so fashionable for ceremonial costumes that are simple to make, and focus on being worn for a long time”
“I understand”
Corinna nodded as if he was convinced.
“Then, can you tell me how to tailor Mine-chan? How do you know it is beautiful when viewed from the outside?”
“Uh, my shoulders first …”
After that, we discussed how much fried bread was taken and how to make it, and finished the temporary sewing.
… Ah! If you say that the temporary sewing is over, will Turi cry?
