Chapter 96

Leave the blacksmith workshop and go to the woodwork workshop. Both are close to craftsmen.

About three doors passed through the workshop, engraved with a design that crosses a saw with a large tree in the background, Benno goes inside with me go.

“Bilno of Gilberta firm, but is there a parent?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t have a parent … Mine !?”

“Oh, was this Sieg’s brother’s workshop?”

I was in the store with a familiar face. Lutz’s second brother, Sieg, opens his mouth in a position where he meets me with Benno.

“… acquaintance?”

“Lutz’s older brother”

When Benno took me down, it seemed that Rutz had finally entered Sieg’s sight. “… Lutz, are you?” I heard a small cry.

Lutz is changing clothes in the room he rented at Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, so Sieg must have seen his apprentice clothes and his hair trimmed for the first time. The appearance of carrying a bag in everyday wear going to the forest and Lutz at work seem completely different.

“Fun. Lutz’s older brother … Is there anything I want to order?”

“Well, can you wait for me? I will call my assistant”

Sieg rushed into the back, and a little man with a solid physique came out.

“Hey Benno, welcome. What should we make this time?”

“Lutz”

“Yes, this is it”

Lutz took out the letter board he made for Franc and placed it on the table. Benno places an order while pointing at the writing board.

“I want this board to be the same size as this. Engrave my shop crest on the front and my name on the back.”

Assistant takes out the measure and draws the dimensions on the wooden bill while measuring here and there.

Sieg came out from the back to see if he was worried about the state of Lutz while watching the meeting while checking which tree to use, the crest, spelling of the name, and the font.

“Sieg brother, can I order it?”

“Is Mine? … Is it okay?”

“I want a hard and thin board. The size is exactly the same and this is the size …”

When I made the size with my hand, I brought a measure as if Sieg was panicking. Determine the vertical and horizontal dimensions, and the thickness.

“Make 70 identical items”

“70 photos! What do you do so much?”

“Ufufu, make” Carta “with 35 basic characters”

My side-serving apprentice Gil and Delia are still unable to read. The side service seems to be necessary to be able to read and write as helping the documents and writing the letter of the Lord as Fran does.

If you give a gift only to Fran, you will definitely see Gil asking. When I thought of a gift for Gill, I wanted something that was fun to learn.

If you make a carta on a wooden board, the children of the orphanage will be able to play together. If you grow up, you will be able to remember it anyway, so it is best to remember it from a young age.

“Karta? Do you make anything strange again?”

“Yes, yes.

“… I just cut it in size”

“You can’t just cut it. You have to polish it so that the surface and corners are smooth.”

“Like that moth?”

When I whispered greatly, Sieg scratched his head. It will take time to polish one by one, but the Carta board is not so rushed.

“Since it will take 10 days for other items to be completed, I can do it by that time.”

“You can afford it.”

“How about the price is double that you had made before?”

“Please ask your assistant for a moment. I don’t know much about the charges.”

When Sieg said, the assistant, who seemed to have finished the business talk with Benno, seemed to have heard the story for a while, and suddenly appeared here.

“What did you say you made before?”

“When I was handworking in the winter, I asked Sieg to help me make a cocoon. A single bronze coin”

“That means this time, two bronze coins … If you ask an individual, I don’t think there is any problem, but it’s not enough to ask a workshop.”

Assisting the assistant while laughing grinning, I don’t intend to set the price so brutal. When you make paper, you know the price of wood at a timber shop. I also know the salary usually paid to craftsmen.

I think Lutz felt the same way. I looked at my assistant next to my eyes.

“Assuming that the workshop fee is 30% the same as handling in the store, considering the cost of wood and the money to pay to the craftsman, Mine presented a reasonable amount that he could afford I think it ’s not just a single order, it ’s 70 pieces ”

Mine licks completely because it looks like a child before baptism? , And Lutz smiled much like Marc, and his assistant pulled his face.

“Lutz! What are you doing?”

“It’s work”

Sieg screamed as if yelling at Lutz in the house. But Lutz does not take his gaze off his assistant.

It seems that Benno and Marc are quite obsessed, and Lutz is stretching his chest and interacting with his assistant. Lutz, who was happy that he was able to write his name at last, was able to read only the price tag on the market this time last year.

“Sieg brother, Lutz is in the middle of a business talk with an assistant. You shouldn’t disturb him. You said you don’t know the price well?”

When I stopped Sieg, Sieg went back and forth between me and Lutz as if in trouble.

“Mine … But Lutz is such …”

“Lutz is working very hard as a merchant apprentice. Lutz has the knowledge and skills of a merchant, just like Sieg ’s older brother is a craftsman.”

Communicating information is nothing more than a mouth Here, it is rare to succeed in a position other than the family business taught by parents. Perhaps this is the first time that Lutz has seen the job site just by denying his job as a merchant at home. Sieg looked at Lutz with a complex face that wouldn’t come out even if he wanted to say something.

“Sieg brother, would you appreciate Lutz’s efforts for a little?”

“……”

As a result of discussions between Assistant and Lutz, the price was decided based on what I first presented.

Benno, who had been watching the growth of Lutz, picked me up with one arm, scratched the head of Lutz with the other hand, and left the woodworking workshop.

A Sieg with a sharp eyebrows over Benno’s shoulders was reflected.

Ten days later, a board for iron brush and carta was completed. Of course, the letter board ordered by Benno was also finished. Holding a majestic calligraphy board, Benno goes to the wax shop in a good mood and pours the wax to complete it.

“Mine, how do you use this?”

Returning to the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, Benno took out the writing board in an exhilarating manner. Lutz holding his own writing board also looks into it with interest.

“This is for making a memorandum on the go. Write a letter on this wax part using a stylus that is caught on this ring. One side is sized to hold with one hand, and paper Unlike a board, it ’s hard to write, so it ’s easy to write even if someone with an ink bottle is not on the side. ”

As soon as Benno holds in his hand, try to write a letter inside. White marks remained as if they were carved finely with a iron brush.

“… I see. Handwriting remains on the wax”

“Yes, if you close it, the letters inside will not disappear, unlike a stone board. However, because it is for a memorandum, you have to copy it to something that can be stored on paper or wooden bills after returning home.” But after copying, if you level the wax with this flat one, you should be able to use it again … “

I have not used it. I just read it in a book. An old tax collector straddled a horse and used a writing board to make notes.

“Even if the wax inside becomes tattered, it can be used if the wax is spun and replaced. Is this likely to become a product?”

“… Only for merchants and aristocrats who can read and write. If you think about the customer base, you need to hold a workshop that can sculpture woodwork and decorate the frame like this. It’s convenient to say that you can write right away. “

Benno commented that he was stroking his name and coat of arms.

“Does it seem to sell?”

“I think it sells to merchants, but the nobles are subtle. They have side servings and always have pens and ink …. Rather they may be needed for side servings.”

“I also came up with the appearance of the franc. If the side serving uses it, the ironing decoration is not necessary so much, so the price can be reduced.”

“Okay, let’s buy the right”

I sell the rights to Benno. As long as it is necessary to make a stylus, it is impossible to make a writing board at the main workshop, and now I want the money right now.

“By the way, Mine. What do you use that board for?”

Benno asked, pointing at the board that was falling apart in the bag. There is no service here to put it in a bag. It is basic to take home with my bag. Once Carta is complete, it may be better for your father to make a box so that it is easy to clean up.

“This is Carta. It hasn’t been completed yet. I’ll have to write it now.”

“Writing?”

“This half is a picture card, with a basic letter and an initial letter. For example …”

I opened my writing board and tried to instantly make a picture card on one side and a reading card on the other side. I drew the initials of “te” and a picture of a iron brush, and the other half was a reading card with the words “iron brush.

Finally, when I showed Benno, Benno saw me with a very confused face.

“… Maybe you write everything?”

“Is that true?”

There is no reason to leave it to someone who does not know Carta. I will finish the present for Gill. When I stretched my chest and said, Lutz was holding his head.

“Mine, leave it to another guy, especially a picture. Then you don’t know what you’re drawing. I’m in trouble with the gil you got”

“You’re good at writing, but you’re not good at drawing”

sighed with the relentless words of the two. I’m not good at illustrations. At least, I was never said to be bad at the time of Reino.

“… I’m not a bad guy! It’s a little deformed, so it may seem like it’s just avant-garde! It’s okay because the world will catch up with me over time”

“I don’t know what I’m talking about, but accept the fact. I’ll leave the picture to another guy.

….. I’m not bad at it.

I didn’t know if Benno and Lutz’s opinions were correct, so the next day I asked the side servants for their opinions in the temple’s room.

“… Benno told me that way”

Delia rounded her eyes when I explained while showing the picture I wrote on my writing board.

“As Benno says, you haven’t seen it very much. Has Mine never seen the picture?”

“There are so many things on the way to the chief’s room that you’ve never seen it. Only Mine isn’t good at it.”

pierced by the words of Delia and Gill, when I turned my gaze on Fran, Fran looked at her eyebrows and looked a little off.

“… That’s right. It’s really individual”

The words of the side-serving of the temple growing up looking only at the religious statues and paintings placed in the prayer room, gate, and corridor, and the artwork displayed in the blue priest’s room were very painful. It seems that it will not be accepted unless it is a photorealistic and delicate thing.

“Mine-sama, how about leaving the picture to Vilma? She should have received a picture from a former blue priestess.”

“Eh? Hand painting? Can the side service do that?”

“… Because the ability the side requires depends on what the Lord wants.”

Orphans, after finishing the baptism, become gray apprentices who work under the work of cleaning the prayer room and corridor and washing. It seems that the seriousness and momentum at that time will determine whether the side service will be a side service apprentice as a successor to you.

If it becomes a side-serving apprenticeship, the residence moves from the orphanage to the nobility area. While working in the aristocratic area as much as subordinate work, seniors are struck by what they need to become side serving.

“That’s why we can only teach how to greet guests if we serve, but the content of the work depends on the priest or the priestess that we serve.”

“While some apprentices are taught about offering flowers, there are priests who specialize in calculations.”

When I received an explanation, I asked Gill. After all, Gil ’s opinion is the most important.

“What do you do, Gil? Do you ask Vilma?”

“Huh? Why?”

I tell the mysterious gil the reason for the reward.

“… Did you take rice to the orphanage children every day? Isn’t it a reward for Gil who worked hard for them?”

“Reward? Hmm …”

After saying so, Gil began to worry.

After a while, for some reason my face became more red and I held my head. “I do n’t like it. I ’m embarrassed.” Uh, uh, uh, I started to talk around the place.

Maybe she has any pleasant feelings in Vilma? I was embarrassed to go to ask, and as I was watching over Gil’s miracle with a warm eye, Gill raised her face as if I had decided.

“… I don’t care about the picture. If you don’t have time for Mine, you can ask Virma …. Just write the letter to Mine. Mine’s character is beautiful, That … That ’s ah! ”

Gill seems to have been unable to endure the embarrassment and runs down to the first floor. Bang! The sound of the door closing wildly reverberated. Perhaps he is in his room and is trembling with embarrassment.

“… How are you, Maine?”

“Gill who wasn’t used to complimenting someone was so cute that she was shy and trying to give up desperately, so I really wanted to start making a bill.”

“Then you ask Virma for a picture card.”

Fran’s words with a face that can endure laughter, and it was decided to leave the picture cards to Vilma.

Because the story is over, I hurry to call Franc, who is about to move to work.

“Fran, wait. Turn this into franc”

“… me?”

I take out the letter board for francs. Because it is adapted to the size of the hand that is easy to hold, the size is different, but it is the same.

“Fran does the most work? Isn’t it hard to make adjustments every day because I’ve taken care of the director of the orphanage even though there is only one side service? You really do your best. I’m thankful, I ’m a reward. ”

Explaining how to use the letter board to the franc, and saying that he came up with the franc at the gate, he laughed happily with his brown eyes narrowed.

“I want to make a product instantly when I came up with it … I would like to manage my physical condition so that Mine can respond.”

“Please, please”

I noticed that Delia was looking at the letter board softly with a jealous look. Easy to understand as usual.

“Delia is here. Because Delia didn’t go to the orphanage, she worked hard to clean up the ground floor while there was no gil, and to respond to visitors when there was no franc.”

“What is this?”

“I’m a stone board and a brush. I’m practicing this. If the side service doesn’t allow me to write the Lord’s letter, isn’t it?”

When I write Delia’s name on a stone board and hand it over, Delia stares at the character as if to eat it. Unlike Gill, Delia thought that she might know a few characters, but perhaps she wasn’t taught any letters at the temple head.

“This is Delia’s name. First I need to be able to write my name.”

After a while, Gill seems to have finally settled out of the room. Immediately after Delia and Gill started to study letters, I began to write the Carta with great care to be a model for Gil. The contents of the reading cards are all about the scriptures and the gods so that Vilma raised in the temple can easily draw pictures.

Benno, who wrote the letter and saw the finished Carta finished by Vilma, wanted the right right away, but Carta wants to make it for the kids at the Main workshop. .

Primarily, Benno’s monopoly, but also included making at the Mine workshop, and contracted to get 30% of profit as an idea fee. Now, every time Carta is sold, money will come in little by little.

I became better and I exhaled lightly and relievedly thinking that educational toys and entertainment goods might sell well.
