Chapter 74 Settlement
Buying a house is just the first step to settling down in Bremen.

After seeing Misu off and leaving the gifts in Room 437, Gaode closed the door and prepared to go to the next destination.

Of course, the purse must be carried with you.

“Take me to the most cost-effective clothing store nearby, is that okay?” he said to Lehman.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Now that housing is taken care of, the next step is of course clothing.

Gao De still wears the coarse linen clothes he wore when he was an apprentice. It’s not that he can’t wear them, but clothes make the man.

Since he is going to work as a restoration craftsman, he is too young. If he dresses shabbily, it will make people doubt his ability.

Lehman’s 1 silver guide fee was indeed not collected in vain. When he heard Gao De’s request, he nodded without thinking and said, “No problem, sir, please follow me.”

“Where is the craftsmen’s guild in the city?” While following Lehmann to the clothing store, Gode asked about the news in Bremen.

“Except for the Mage Guild, most of the guilds in the city are located in the Siren District.

But if you want to join the Craftsmen’s Guild, you must either pass the Craftsmen’s Guild’s assessment or be recommended by a formal member of the guild.”

Lehman gave a detailed introduction to Gold.

After listening to Lehman’s introduction, Gao De asked with concern:
“How many wizard associations are there in Bremen?”

“Three,” Lehmann said, listing them all. “The first one is the Bremen Mage Association, which is officially owned by Bremen. Then there is the Ancient Book Guardian Association, and finally the Emerald Alliance.”

Pierre was not bragging. The Emerald Alliance was indeed one of the three major wizard associations in Bremen. However, he did not mention that there were only three wizard associations in Bremen.

The Camonde area is home to a large number of small handicraft workshops.

Just now, when Gao De followed Mrs. Misu to Room 437, he saw some small workshops scattered along the way.

Obviously, many craftsmen directly use their homes as workshops, mostly in the form of shop in front and residence in the back, or shop downstairs and residence upstairs.

Lehman took Godd around a few corners, and while they were talking, they arrived at a street full of workshops.

The workshops on both sides of the street are hung with conspicuous signs or curtains with patterns of bread, hammers, etc., which directly indicate the nature of the shop.

Lehman took Gold to a shop with a pair of scissors painted on the curtain.

“Although the store is not big, old Hutton’s craftsmanship is recognized as good and the ingredients he uses are of solid quality,” Lehman and Gold introduced.

Gao De nodded slightly and walked into the store.

The space inside the store is relatively small, with various fabric products hanging 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 in the store, displaying the latest styles of clothing.

The air smells of newly cut cloth and tanned leather.

The shop owner, an old man with slightly gray hair and beard, was sitting at a large wooden table, buried in a pile of cloth and needles and thread.

When he saw a customer coming, he immediately put down his work and asked, “Sir, what do you want to buy?”

Gao De thought for a moment and replied:
“Two sets of everyday clothes, made of linen.”

Wool clothes and linen clothes are the two most common everyday clothes.

It’s just that now is the Flower Flame Month, which is the traditional month of May, and it is foreseeable that the weather will only get hotter in the future.

Taking this factor into consideration, more breathable linen clothing is obviously more suitable.

“Please wait a moment.” Old Hutton looked Goder up and down carefully, then stood 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 composed of loose tunics, and there is also the option of long robes. The lower body is composed of spacious linen trousers.

Even in previous lives, there were very few styles of men’s clothing, let alone in this world, where there was almost nothing to choose from.

The colors are even more single, mainly brown, gray, dark blue and other tones that natural dyes can provide. It mainly depends on whether it fits the body.

Obviously, old Hutton’s eyesight is not old. The glance he took at Godd before entering the warehouse to get clothes was a “scan” of his figure.

So the clothes that are finally taken out are all exceptionally fit.

Gaode finally chose one set each in gray and brown as his daily uniform.

Two sets of linen dresses, plus two pairs of low-top leather shoes made of cowhide, cost Gao De 26 silvers in total.

After leaving the clothing store, Gode asked Lehman to take him to the watch shop.

Living in a big city, unlike Hogan City, is convenient because it is necessary to know the exact time.

Therefore, a pocket watch that can be carried with you becomes extremely important.

Under Lehman’s guidance, Goder pushed open the heavy wooden door and, accompanied by the ringing of a bell, entered a watch shop filled with the mixed aroma of leather and metal.

Compared to 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 display cabinets.

The store employee came up to him politely, took a very discreet look at Gao De’s clothes, and then asked, “Sir, what do you need?”

“An accurate pocket watch.”

The clerk nodded, bent down, and with his white-gloved hands he pulled out a silver pocket watch from the display case.

“Sir, how about this pocket watch? It was made by Master Ned. Look at the carvings. How charming!”

You can see that there are exquisite patterns carved on the case.

“How much?” Gao De didn’t particularly pick the style, as long as it could be used. He was more concerned about the price.

“It’s not expensive, only 1 gold, and comes with a watch strap.”

“In addition, if the watch hands stop moving or become inaccurate in the future, you can hand it over to our store to help fix it, free of charge.”

As if fearing that Gaode would find it too expensive, the clerk pointed to other gold-cased pocket watches in the display case and said, “These pocket watches cost 5 gold or more.”

“Okay, let’s take it.” Gao De followed the will of the wallet.

Under the guidance of the clerk, he paid at the counter.

When leaving the watch shop, Gao De looked at his newly purchased pocket watch and found that it was almost five o’clock.

“Thank you for your help today. You can go back now.” Gode said to Lehman.

“You’re welcome, sir!”

After sending Lehman away, Godd did not go home immediately, but found a small restaurant nearby to have dinner.

Today can be considered as “moving into a new house”, so it’s worth having a good meal to celebrate.

To be honest, this was the first time he had eaten out since he came into this world.

Godard ordered a 7 coppers portion of roast pork with apple sauce, a large cup of tea worth 1.5 coppers, 3 coppers of sausage with mashed potatoes, a serving of vegetables for 1 copper, and a fried egg for 1 coppers.

A total of 14 copper coins, namely 1 silver and 2 copper coins.

After finishing all the food, he still felt unsatisfied, so he added another copper coin and got a portion of bread with butter.

A very filling meal.

But it’s also expensive.

“The deposit is about to fall below the 300 gold coin mark.”

After paying the money, Gao De found that there were only 4 three-leaf silver coins and a few scattered copper coins left in his pocket.
