Chapter 74 Settlement
Finishing the house is just the first step to settling in the city of Bremen.
After seeing off Misu and leaving the salute in Room 437, Gaode closed the door and prepared to go to the next destination.
Of course, the money bag must be carried with you.
"Take me to the most cost-effective clothing store nearby, okay?" he said to Lyman.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Having settled down, the next step is of course clothing.
Gaode still wears the coarse linen clothes he wore as an apprentice. It’s not that he can’t wear them, but people rely on clothes.
Since he has to work as a restoration craftsman, he is already too young. If he wears shabbier clothes, his level will be doubted.
Leiman’s guide fee of 1 silver was indeed not in vain. When he heard Gaode’s needs, he nodded without even thinking: “No problem, sir, come with me.”

"Where is the craftsmen's guild in the city?" While following Lehmann to the coat shop, Gothe inquired about the news in Bremen.
“Except for the Mage Association, most of the guilds in the city are set up in the Siren District.
But if you want to join the Craftsmen’s Guild, you either have to go through the Craftsmen’s Guild. Assessment, or recommendation from a formal member of the guild."
Leiman introduced it to Gaode in detail.
After listening quietly to Lehmann’s introduction, Gothe said with concern:
"How many mages' associations are there in the city of Bremen?"
"Three," Lehmann said carefully: "The first one is the Bremen Magisters' Association, which Bremen officially belongs to, and then the guardian of ancient books. The Emerald Alliance, and finally the Emerald Alliance.”
Pierre did not brag. The Emerald Alliance is indeed one of the three major mages’ associations in Bremen City. However, he did not say that there are only one in total in Bremen City. Three Mages Guilds.
The Camond District has a large concentration of small handicraft workshops.
When Gao De followed Mrs. Misu to Room 437, he saw some sparse small workshops along the way.
Obviously, many craftsmen directly use their homes as workshops. Most of them shop in front and live in the back, or shop in the front and live in the upper room.
Leiman took Gothe around a few corners, and as he was talking, he came to a street full of workshops.
The workshops on both sides of the street all have conspicuous signboards or curtains with patterns such as bread and hammers, which directly indicate the nature of the shop.
Lyman took Gothe to a shop with scissors on the curtain.
“Despite the small size of the store, Old Hatton’s craftsmanship is recognized as good and the materials used are solid.” Lehmann and Gaude introduced.
Gothe nodded slightly and walked into the store.
The space inside the store is relatively small, and a variety of cloth products are hung on the walls on both sides.
From rough and heavy burlap to finer wool, linen and even silk.
In addition, there are several wooden mannequins placed in the store, displaying the latest styles of clothes.
The smell of freshly cut fabrics and tanned leather fills the air.
The owner of the shop, an old man with graying beard and hair, was sitting at a large wooden table, immersed in a pile of cloth and needlework.
When he saw a customer coming to the door, he immediately put down what he was doing, "Sir, what do you want to buy?"
Gaode thought for a moment and replied:
"Two sets of daily clothes should be made of linen."
Wool clothes and linen clothes are the two most common daily clothes.
It’s just that it’s the Flower Flame Moon, which is the month of May in the traditional sense. It’s foreseeable that the weather will only get hotter in the coming days.
Considering this factor, more breathable linen clothing is obviously more suitable.
"Wait a moment." Old Hatton looked at Gothe carefully, up and down, got up and walked to the back of the store. After a while, he took out several sets of clothes.
"Are you satisfied with these sets?"
Summer clothing tends to be simple and practical. The upper body is mainly loose tunics, and there is also the option of robes, and the lower body is spacious Linen pants.
Even in the previous life, there were only a few styles of men's clothing, let alone in this world, there is almost no choice.
The color is even more single, mainly brown, gray, dark blue and other tones that natural dyes can provide. The main thing is to see if it fits.
Obviously, the old Hatton has an old eye. The moment he looked at Gothe before entering the warehouse to get clothes, he "scanned" his figure.
So the clothes I took out in the end fit perfectly.
Gaode finally chose one set of gray and brown as his regular clothes.
Two sets of linen clothes, plus two pairs of low-top leather shoes made of cowhide, cost a total of 26 silver.
After coming out of the cloak shop, Gothe asked Lyman to take him to the watch shop.
Living in a big city, no less than Hogan City, requires knowing the precise time.
So a pocket watch that can be carried with you is extremely important.
Under Lyman's guidance, Gaude pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered a watch shop filled with the aroma of leather and metal along with the gentle ringing of bells.
Compared with clothing stores, the furnishings in watch stores are much more elegant.
Gold-rimmed mirrors hang on the walls, and exquisite pocket watches are lined up in the display cabinets.
The staff in the store greeted him politely, and after taking a very covert look at Gaode's clothes, he asked: "Sir, what do you need?"
"A precise piece of Pocket watch.”
The clerk nodded, bent down, and took out a silver pocket watch from the display cabinet with his white-gloved hands.
"Sir, how about this pocket watch? It was made by Master Ned. Look at the carvings, how charming they are!"
You can see that the watch case is engraved with exquisite patterns.
“How much does it cost?” Gaode didn’t pick a particular style, as long as it was usable, he was more concerned about the price.
“Not expensive, only 1 gold, and comes with a watch strap.”
"In addition, if the hands of the watch do not move or are inaccurate, you can leave it to our store for help, free of charge."
As if afraid that Gaode would find it too expensive, the clerk pointed to other gold-cased pocket watches in the display cabinet. , "These pocket watches all cost 5 gold or more."
"Okay, let's take it." Gaode followed the will of the wallet.
Under the guidance of the clerk, he paid at the counter.
When leaving the watch shop, Gothe looked at his new pocket watch and found that it was almost five o'clock.
"Sorry to trouble you today, you can go back." Gothe said to Lyman.
"You're welcome, sir!"
Gothe, who sent Lyman away, did not go home immediately, but found a small restaurant nearby to have dinner.
Today can be regarded as "moving into a new home", and it deserves a good meal to celebrate.
Ashamed to say, this is the first time he has "done out" since he came to this world.
Gothe ordered a portion of roast pork with apple sauce for 7 copper coins, a large cup of tea worth 1.5 copper coins, sausages with mashed potatoes for 3 copper coins, vegetables for 1 copper coin, and a fried egg for 1.5 copper coins.
A total of 14 copper coins, that is, 1 silver and 2 copper coins.
After destroying all the food, he was still not satisfied, so he added another copper coin and got a piece of bread with butter.
An extremely sumptuous meal.
But it’s also expensive.
"The deposit is about to fall below the 300 gold coin mark."
After paying the money, Gaode found that the change in his pocket was only 4 silver clover coins and a few scattered copper coins. .
