Raff now stops by the shop every day before going home, but not to buy anything, Leah is usually responsible for the family's purchases, and even his son Henry occasionally uses the 10 copper plants he gives him a month to buy some paper and pens to take home - paper and pencils can also be purchased at school, and the price is cheaper than in the store.

Raff goes to the shop every day purely to see what is inside.

Because they came from the workshop he was in.

I remember that in the beginning, there were not many items in this shop four blocks away from my home, and there were only three goods produced by the workshop: a sound player, paper, and pencils.

But now, the glass container, which originally seemed empty, is almost impossible to fit.

Scissors, kitchen knives, basins, cups, shovels, hoes, trolleys......

He could make these things in the old blacksmith's shop, but the quality and beauty were far from the production of the workshop, and the most important thing was that the workshop was too simple and too fast to make these things.

The time it takes to make a shovel by hand, hundreds of them have been made in the workshop, and it is more economical in materials, so the price is very cheap.

Of course, there are also many things that he couldn't make in a blacksmith before, such as a sound player, a mechanical clock, etc.

There was a new addition to the shop today, a small disc-shaped object that no one might recognize as it was, but Raff knew it well, and Mr. Walder said it was called a pocket watch.

He had never heard the word before, and it was said to have been newly coined by the lord.

This thing is actually the same as a mechanical clock, only smaller.

Raff did not understand why it should be called a watch instead of a small clock if it was the same.

However, pocket watches, although smaller, are ridiculously expensive, more than ten times more expensive than mechanical clocks.

Raff understood why, because pocket watches were more difficult to make, and he used to be able to help build the casing of a sound player or a mechanical clock, but it was no longer his turn to participate in pocket watches, and he was not even qualified to make parts. It is said that those apprentice craftsmen who graduated from school slowly assembled them from parts that were too small for the eye to see, and it was a lot of work to make.

The point is that pocket watches can be carried anywhere.

Raff glanced at the label, which said 9.5 klang each.

Boy.

He calculated, even though his current salary has risen to 15 silver dong a month, he has to save for more than four years to be able to afford one, this thing is placed here, who will buy it?

Raff glanced at the mechanical clock next to him, relatively speaking, this guy was too big to keep at home, but the price was only 10 silver guilders, and even then, almost no one would buy it.

He used to think he couldn't afford it—the speaker for Leah was only 5 silver guilders, and that thing could barely make a sound.

But now compared with the pocket watch next to it, it doesn't seem so expensive.

The most important thing is that he didn't think this thing was very useful before, anyway, he could probably know the time by looking at the weather, so why should it be so accurate.

But now, his concept has changed again, if he can know the exact time, he doesn't need to leave for work long in advance; Leah is also able to time her meals; Henry didn't need to be in a hurry to go to school. In this way, the family can have a lot of time left, and there is no need to rush everything.

Raff looked at it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Hello, please bring me this."

Raff hugged the mechanical clock and walked home with great difficulty, except for the shell, almost all metal parts of this thing, and the weight was very light.

When he got home, he found that Leah had already returned home.

"Look at this." Raff revealed the mechanical clock he was holding in his hand as if he were in a gesture.

"You ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you buy it?"

"Also?" Raff was stunned, you bought it too?

"yes."

Leah pointed to the clock on the table, which had obviously just been bought, and the hands were ticking away, echoing the sound of the clock in her hand.

"You didn't say it sooner." Raff regretted it for a while.

"Why didn't you say it earlier." Leah huffed.

Last time, Raff bought her a sound player, and now that she can earn an income from farming, she thought of adding something to the house, and by buying this clock, her husband could go out to the workshop on time and be able to spend more time at home with her.

"Well, forget it." Raff sighed.

"Can I return it?"

"Return?" Raff was stunned.

"I heard Bonnie say that she bought a mechanical clock last time and felt distressed when she came back, and when she returned to the store, she could get a refund at the original price, as long as there was no damage or bumps."

Bonnie is the next-door neighbor, her husband is a carpenter, has four children, and the youngest son, Haight, used to be a classmate of Henry, but then he didn't like to study and joined the fortress defenders - the garrison has been expanding, and the boys from several surrounding families have gone, but now the fortress defenders are not as attractive as before, after all, everyone doesn't have to go hungry anymore, and the average family can expect to eat meat once in a while.

"Returned?"

Raff hesitated, still feeling embarrassed: "Forget it, I bought it anyway, it's a big deal to put one in Henry's room, he writes late every night, so that he can remind him to sleep." ”

Leah knows that her husband is thin-skinned, but it makes sense to think about it.

Spent 20 silver guilders at once.

Although it is not difficult at home, it is still a little distressing.

Leah was about to go cook when she heard a knock on the door.

Open the door.

There were a few people outside the door, led by the staff of the government department.

Leah still couldn't tell the difference between the various departments and positions, but she was able to recognize the almost identical black clothes and hats on their bodies.

"Your Excellency." Leah still retained her previous habits, and when she saw the people in the fortress or the government hall, she cringed a little: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Raff, right?"

"Yes." Raff also came over.

"That's right, the lord decided to give each family a mechanical clock, so that everyone can have a sense of time, come and sign it, and then receive something."

"Huh?"

Raff and Leah froze at the same time.

In this way, there are not three clocks at home?

What a waste.

"What's wrong?" The staff member saw that neither of them moved.

"We just bought it ourselves, and we bought two more." Rav that called a regret.

"Oh, that's okay." The man was not surprised, and had obviously encountered a lot of such things: "I have already bought it, and the money to directly subsidize a mechanical clock is the same as signing here." ”

As he spoke, he asked the man behind him to take out 10 silver guilders and give them to Raff.

Raff came over to sign, and after getting the money, he and Leah looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in the other party's eyes - the lord was losing again.

"Also, a word of caution." The official of the government department sorted out the roster in his hand and smiled at the two of them: "As long as the things in the shop are not damaged or overused, they can be returned within two days." ”

"Uh-oh." Raff thought of his wife's words just now, and said with some embarrassment: "The clerk of the store didn't tell me......"

"Businessmen seek profit, of course they don't want you to know these words, but you have to be more mindful yourself." The government officials winked at the two and then walked to the next house.

The couple looked at each other.

"Are you still going to go back?" Leah asked quietly.

"If you don't return it, I'll put one in my son's room, and it's not that I can't afford it." Raff shook the 10 silver shield in his hand, and looked heroic.

I didn't know what was going on yesterday.,Just when everyone resubscribes.,The chapters are out of order.,It seems that you need to re-download the starting point APP.,If it's troublesome, you can read it directly on the computer.。

Because it took almost an hour to find out, by that time more than 600 people had subscribed, and I apologized to those more than 600 friends.

One chapter is free today, and one chapter will be free tomorrow, and in doing so, the author can also have full attendance, the best of both worlds.
