Chapter 76 (1/2)

My name is Marc and I ’m an assistant to my husband at Gilberta. I’m just 37 years old. In this year, my age is not clearly remembered.

I have been serving the Gilberta Company since its predecessor, and I have been indebted for thirty years considering the period of apprenticeship. Since my husband was born in the year I entered Apprentice as Darua, it was really early.

There are two types of apprentices of merchants and craftsmen, distinguished from Darua and Dapura. In short, Darua is an employment contract with the store manager, and Dupura is an apprentice contract to entrust the store and business in the future. There is a big difference in the contract fee and contract details, but detailed explanation is not necessary here.

Gilberta Shokai basically keeps the children of other shops as Darua. The merchant’s children train for a certain period of time in the other store. This period is determined by consultation between the store and the parent of the child. Are there many 3 to 4 years?

] There are various reasons for expanding the field of view, knowing the position to be used, separating from a position that tends to be pampered, and having friends with the next store managers. It is a bridge that connects

I originally signed as Darua to return to my parents’ house after the employment period. However, because his father died and his elder brother who succeeded him was too different in terms of business, after renewing his contract several times as Darua, he re-signed as a 15-year-old adult ceremony.

The apprenticeship period of Dapura is 8 years. Originally, after studying as a Darua at another store, you would sign a contract as Dapura between about 10-12 years old. When I turned 20, I was entrusted with a store instead of my husband.

Because I was late in the contract, 8 years after I became an adult, I was able to add another training period.

Even though it was the training period, I had already worked for 8 years as Darua and understood the work at Gilberta Company. Due to the plan of the previous husband, unlike ordinary Dapura, it was not the apprentice salary, but the salary of almost the same amount as given to adult employees, so the training for 8 years is particularly difficult I didn’t feel it. I was delighted that the treatment was better than when I was in Darua, and I worked hard every day.

However, unfortunately, the predecessor passed away just before I finished my training as a Dapura. My husband was just an adult and was still in a state that I could not rely on as a store manager. Many of Darua, who had contracted with his predecessor, refused to renew his contract with her husband and left the store.

I haven’t finished my training period, so I asked my parents to help me to continue working at Gilberta. However, the elder brother who succeeded the store laughed at the death of his predecessor, rather than helping, and declared that he would cut off his relationship with the Gilberta store.

How should we express anger at that time? I can still remember vividly the moment when I decided to break up with my parents and protected the Gilberta Company and my husband whatever they were and vowed to look back.

My husband asked me if I wanted to go back to my parents ‘home after the training period as a Dupura, but there was no place to go to me who was separated from my parents’ home, and where do I need me more? Was the Gilberta Company.

After telling me that I would remain in the store, I worked with myself with my husband and rebuilt the store. We quickly regained momentum and expanded the store. The fact that I turned my hand behind the scenes and used my parents’ house as a stepping stone to rebuild the store is now a matter of age.

Corinna, the youngest daughter of the previous generation, was married, but her husband, the elder brother, seems to have lost interest in the marriage itself after losing Riese. When I noticed, I missed my marriage. It’s not easy to think.

Work is fulfilling, and the successor to the store is decided by the children of Corinna and the husband, so it can be said that there are no major problems related to the existence of the store so far. .

Now, because there is a meeting where only the owners of large shops gather today, my husband is absent. Then, many projects that require important judgments come to me one after another.

“Mr. Marc, I was contacted that Linshan’s delivery was delayed”

“This time, the arrival of the rave was late, so it can’t be helped. Have the completed parts delivered first, and let the parents tell you to hurry as much as possible.”

“That’s Marc. A request from Coronna from Baron Bron”

“It’s rare for him to be asked in the summer. Hurry up. Please deliver to Corinna immediately.”

When I was spending a little bit more busy than usual, my husband returned with a mine.

“Marc has a story. Come on!”

Husband goes to the back. I saw my eyes shining, my motivated husband and the troubled face of Mine and the Lutz who chased them while out of breath at the best, and I had a feeling that the unreasonable challenge would come down again did.

Purchasing raw materials to prepare workshops for making Linshan, cultivating and fostering sales channels to secure craftsmen, walking around the city in search of tool materials for Mine and Lutz to make plant paper, and Parchment Association I worked hard to alleviate the traps, and I was thrown to open a plant paper factory. In retrospect, it feels like I’ve been pushed a lot over the course of a year. What on earth is this time?

“Marc, I’ll train a confectioner! Prepare!”

Training of confectioners? Words that seem to have nothing to do with the current business have come out. I have a very bad feeling. This suddenness seems to be correct, considering that Mine is involved.

Listening to her husband’s condition, she took out various wooden cards with glaring eyes full of motivation. My husband seems to be fine, but most of all, the impact on the surroundings seems to be serious.

“You are a confectioner, what are you going to make?”

“Listen to Mine”

Oh, is it still Mine? Apparently, the challenge has come up again.

Originally, Gilberta Shokai was a store that began with the husband and wife’s great-grandmother’s great-grandmother’s apparel studio, where his wife made clothes in the workshop and her husband sold them. The store manager is always registered with her husband’s name, but the reality is that the female store is in charge of the real store.

Gilberta Shokai has been doing business with the wealthy people in the city, but since the design of the husband’s mother caught the eyes of a junior aristocrat, she could gradually cut into the aristocratic society. became. It has been about 10 years since I began to do business with the aristocratic class. This is just recently.

Corinna-sensei seems to have a certain reputation in the aristocratic society.

In other words, the Gilberta Company deals not only with apparel, but also with accessories and beauty.

The Linshan brought in by Mine has become a pretty good product as a beauty-related product, and hair ornaments that are to be made in the workshop of Corinna are already popular as a decorative item in the city. I’m getting.

If you consider the quality and design of the thread, Korinna is delighted to have a good right to be accepted by the nobility’s wife and daughter.

However, on the other hand, the paper industry brought in by Mine is a little diverted for Gilberta and the training of confectionery craftsmen is quite different from the previous work.

What is your husband thinking?

“Daara! It’s impossible to say without sugar!”

“You can bake bread without sugar. Would you practice using the oven first?”

“But there are already a number of bread workshops in the city, and there is a baker’s association, so you’re going to run into vested interests! Just practice!

You’re going to pull a craftsman on? ”

“Can you start a new business because you are scared of vested interests?”

The interaction between the husband sitting on the chair and the mine, standing on the chair and adjusting the line of sight, is reminiscent of the interaction between the husband and Riese. Do you say that the more you fight, the better you get along, or do you say that your confidence has grown so that you can feel free to talk to each other?

My husband feels most alive when he talks with Mine about the business. It would be refreshing to have a mouthful master, such as when he won a quarrel against Riese. Because he was defeated by Riese.

“Lutz, are it okay for them to postpone the situation before and after? Why did the husband suddenly begin to train confectioners?”

“Yes, yes”

Lutz, who looked at the dispute between the two, was correct and began to explain. Lutz, who is used to being swayed by Mine, is quick to switch consciousness. It ’s a person who is honest, absorbs everything, is serious, patient, and hard to get. It seems to be smart from the start, and will tell you what happened today in order.

Lutz explained that after a meeting in the commercial guild, there was a tasting party for Cattlecurl, where there was a battle with the chef of the guild chief. It was a story that my husband cut a candy if there was no confectioner.

It’s impossible to put up with a husband who hates that loss.

“Mine says that craftsmen who can use the oven freely are necessary to make sweets. The rest is a research enthusiastic person who does not hesitate to study recipes and make them delicious. Seems to be thinking of pulling out from the bread maker who has already mastered how to use the oven, but because it makes things other than bread, it might not work unless you are enthusiastic about making new things “…”

After hearing about the situation from Lutz, I finally saw the center of the dispute between Husband and Mine.

“Did your husband decide that the sweets and yales could be sold to aristocrats?”

“Yes, but …”

“Lutz, but it’s strictly forbidden. As long as my husband is motivated, I have no choice but to do it.”

This may only be my husband, but my husband has a natural business intuition. I decided that I could sell this, and my husband, who was motivated, had never been able to win.

slap your hands and turn your husband and Mine’s attention here.

“You said that your husband will train confectioners, but how long will it grow up? Can you make a profit?”

“… I can take it. It will not take much time because I intend to pull a guy who can use the oven to some extent from the bakery and make it a teacher.”

My husband asks my question quietly. The eyes were full of confidence, and the face did not even think of a piece of failure or failure.

“Mine used to say that without sugar, you can’t make sweets, are you standing out about sugar?”

“If you talk to all the relatives who are a little estranged, you’ll get a little overwhelming. Undoubtedly, Uncle Emile had a little help in the middle?” I have a merchant call on me, and let the craftsmen bake bread for a while and get used to the oven. ”

“Hum. It doesn’t mean you have no idea.”

Basically, there is no chance of winning and winning, so it seems that the husband has been considering a route to obtain sugar from the first time she heard about candy from Mine.

The purchase of the workshop and the arrangement of the oven are complicated and troublesome, but it is not so difficult. After all, the biggest problem is the trap and negotiation with vested interests. Perhaps the guild leader will complain again.

Regarding the distribution of plant paper, I looked back on the compliments that occurred with the Parchment Association and narrowed my eyes lightly. To give up on the paper industry and the development of confectionery craftsmen, who are not their main business, is a very difficult business.

“Mine, are there any plans to reduce the conflict with existing bakers, as they previously shared profits with the Parchment Society?”

“Hey ?? I think ?!”

Mine, who is not good at fighting, is better off thinking of a compromise than a husband who doesn’t want to give up. Above all, for me, confectioner training is out of the field, and I don’t have enough knowledge to find a compromise.

“Mine is the most familiar about confectioners among them. Mine is better at searching for a place to drop, so there is an opinion that would be beneficial to both. Please let me know. ”

I know that there is an unreasonable demand for a young child who just finished the baptismal ceremony, but like my husband, I don’t think of Mine as an ordinary child.

“Wow! Um, a place to drop? Even if both are said to be profitable, hmm …”

“That’s right … It’s a different bread from the past, or something that uses an oven other than bread …”

I proposed to Mine to think about, replacing the paper drop point with bread. I have nothing to come up with, but I thought that if I was to bring in something strange one after another, I might come up with it.

My expectation seemed to be right, and when Mine looked back at me while shaking her scarlet hair, she lit her golden eyes and raised her left hand straight up.

“There is! I want to eat” Italian “!”

“… Italian?”

An unfamiliar word came out. Husband and Lutz both have their heads tilted, but Mine doesn’t care at all and moves her mouth.

“If you do n’t have sugar, it ’s okay if you cook in the oven, right?” Pizza, “Gratin”, “Lasagna” …. And then, then grilled meat and “Kish” It looks like you can make a “pie”. Wow, I’m looking forward to it.

It’s nice that Mine raises his name one after another with a screaming voice, but since the meat is baked, I don’t think the names of sweets are lined up.

Lutz, who looked at Mine with a faint expression that seemed to hang her eyes, sparkling her eyes next to me, held her head.

“No, Mine begins to runaway”

“Luts?”

“I’m thinking about what I want. If I set a goal, I’m really … Husband, can I win?”

From Lutz’s whispering voice, it is easy to imagine how he was usually swayed by Mine’s runaway.

Mine and her husband seem to be similar. Once you have set a goal, You probably have n’t seen the hardships around you.

“Mr. Benno, stop confectionery,” Restaurant “… Well, I’d like to have a slightly more expensive restaurant.”

“Wait, don’t stop!”

“If you have sugar, you can make sweets in Dessert. No problem. Let’s make it Italian.”

“What is okay?”

As Lutz worries, my husband seems to be inferior.
