Chapter 24 Change a style
When Frederick walked into the restaurant to have breakfast, he noticed that Katie looked at him a little differently.
"Sister," he asked doubtfully, "do I have any questions?"
Katie smiled and said: "Look at your cuffs."
Frederick didn't know why, raised his hand to look at it, and then understood.
Now that he is growing taller, he has been getting enough nutrition and exercise, and the clothes he made a year and a half ago are already too short.
"It's time for you to make a new suit." Katie said, "Let the tailor come this afternoon."
Frederick found that this suit of clothes would not last until next year, so he asked Ah Fu called the tailor in the afternoon.
Now the textile industry is stuck in the manual stage. In society, rich people wear new clothes, while poor people don’t know how to wear old clothes.
Of course Frederick wore tailor-made clothes. The clothes he was wearing were made of fine materials. He would see which of Wesson’s children was suitable for him and send them to him. Let’s see which of the wealthy families is in need.
But now that the family has no money, silk materials with exquisite embroidery are too expensive, so he decided to wear something simpler.
This morning was Psyche's magic class. The content of the class was the difference between magicians and warriors.
Psyche said very straightforwardly: "Magicians have great magical abilities and can carry hundreds of kilograms of rocks and throw them hundreds of meters away. Soldiers' magical abilities are not that great and they can carry The stone can't be thrown far, so I carry it for fitness."
Frederick understood. Magicians use magic power to perform long-range attacks, and soldiers use magic power to strengthen their bodies.
“But the two are not contradictory?” he said, “Magicians can also use magic power to strengthen themselves.”
Psyche was silent for a moment, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Frederick's head, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Human energy is limited. If you want both things, you will often get neither." "
Frederick said "Oh" and then asked: "So do you have any suggestions for me?"
Psyche replied seriously: "Train 30 times a day. Hours."
Frederick blinked. There are 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, and 360 days a year. How can we train for 30 hours a day.
"You are too young." Psyche just smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we grow up."
"Don't be too ambitious. The most important thing is to lay a solid foundation while you are still young."
Frederick could only nod obediently.
Next, Psyche explained to him the principles of exercising mental strength and strengthening the body with magic power, and finally said: "Strengthening the body with magic power is no joke. If something goes wrong... I can recommend you to go to the south. "
Frederick quickly shook his head and waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I don't have to do that kind of thing!"
Psyche sneered: "Oh, Men..."
After the day's class was over, when Psyche was about to leave the study for lunch, she found that Frederick had no intention of leaving, but was writing and drawing there.
“What are you doing again?” She walked behind Frederick curiously.
While painting, Frederick said: "I am very dissatisfied with the current men's clothing and decided to carry out reforms!"
The aristocratic clothing these days is the same as the decoration style of the wealthy people in his previous life, which emphasizes a splendid look. , complex and exaggerated, gorgeous and luxurious, high-end and classy.
All the clothes are made of bright and eye-catching colors. Frederick is wearing bright yellow. The tailors are eager to embroider complex embroidery on every inch of the fabric. They will never use two laces where possible. At the same time, the two shoulders will bulge into balls.
Such flashy clothes were okay, and Frederick could accept it when he went to the countryside to do as the Romans did. However, he couldn't accept the colorful tights with bulging bulges. He had been putting up with them for many years, and now that he was the master of the house, he didn't need to put up with it.
After seeing his design, Psyche smiled "haha" and said nothing. The Wesson family previously held the title of earl, and they still have some background. There is an epic tailor in the family.
Romon thought it was time for the young master to change his clothes. After receiving the news in the morning, he was already gearing up to show off his skills, and then...
"What is this? ”
"What is this?"
"What are these?"
Romon looked at the drawings provided by Frederick in confusion, unable to react for a moment.
Frederick felt that the clothes he designed were not very shocking, but they were in the Victorian style from his hometown, mainly shirts, waistcoats, coats, double-breasted coats and trousers, with round embroidery. Hat, tie, walking stick and leather shoes.
However, it is hard to say whether he will be regarded as a "killer" in this era.
"Very simple clothes." Frederick said to Romon. "The fabric of the summer clothes should be linen, the winter clothes should be wool, and the winter lining of the coat should be fur."
Psyche watching the excitement on the side I thought to myself, it’s a good thing this guy didn’t design a military coat, otherwise this epic tailor would be here today.
Katie was in curiosity mode again, studying Frederick's new design.
“Are you wearing this dress to show off your figure?” She has profound art skills and immediately grasped the key point.
“The most beautiful thing in the world is people!” Frederick immediately quoted a verse from the Light Church scripture, “Clothes and accessories are just embellishments, green leaves cannot take away the beauty of flowers!”
Psyche complained: "What do you think you are?"
Frederick pretended not to hear.
Romon said worriedly: "That's what I said, but I might be laughed at by the world, why not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Frederick spread his hands helplessly. He said: "To be frank, my family has no money. I asked Ah Fu to take the money and go south to buy cotton coats for the victims."
The people who went to inquire about the victims have returned. Those who were targeted The situation of the victims that Wesson led was even worse than expected, and at least 20% of the people might have died along the way.
The victims were like locusts when they passed through the noble territories along the way. The seeds and seedlings planted in the summer were dug up and eaten, and there were countless conflicts with local residents.
For a time, the dissatisfaction of the lords and common people with King William increased a lot.
This is also the reason why Frederick was interested in dehydrated food and asked BASF to quickly get out the plastic bags, tableware and tarpaulins first. He decided to take the initiative.
Romon doesn't know these things. He only knows that the master has no money, so there is nothing he can do.
A traditional set of clothes for Frederick cost at least 10 florins. The cost of buying this outfit now is estimated to be 2 to 3 florins, which can save about ten tons of coarse grains.
Now the grain merchants all know that there will be a huge food shortage in Weisenling for a long time to come, and they all want to raise prices.
Fortunately, Frederick was able to use maltose as a bargaining chip, and instead allowed these jackals to take the initiative to lower the price.
Furthermore, the cash on Frederick's hand has been almost exhausted. The newly made bearings have been used on the carriages in his own territory and have not been sold. He can only rely on bartering maltose and selling steel ingots to survive. The capital chain is not broken.
With the craftsmanship of Romon and his disciples, a new suit was made in less than ten days after taking Frederick's measurements.
Frederick had just put it on and was looking in the mirror when someone came to give him money.
