Chapter 73: Google Ditu
The woman frowned slightly: "I am, is there anything?"
Gao De heard this and raised the package in his hand: "I came from Kamond City to Bremen City to make a living and need to rent a house."
"Coincidentally, my neighbor, Mr. Marcel, previously worked as a watchmaker in Bremen City and rented a house from you. He heard that I was coming to Bremen City and strongly recommended that I find you to rent a house."
"Mr. Marcel said that Lady Misu is careful and thoughtful, generous and fair to tenants, and is the best choice for tenants."
Misu is a woman about forty years old, well-maintained and very temperamental.
Hearing Gao De's full "praise," she showed a reserved smile, and after a little recollection, she remembered, "So it was Mr. Marcel who moved out two years ago who recommended you to find me."
"Mr. Marcel, he is also a good tenant. When he left, he cleaned the house cleanly and gave me a watch strap he made himself, saying it was to thank me for taking care of him all these years."
"Since it was recommended by Mr. Marcel, then you come in first, let's talk in detail." Lady Misu invited Gao De into the house.
"Thank you, Lady Misu." Gao De bowed with his hand on his chest and looked at Leman beside him.
"Sir, I'll wait for you outside!" Leman was very sensible and said hurriedly.
Gao De nodded, and under the guidance of Lady Misu, walked into the house and sat down by the fireplace in the hall. Misu's hall was quite large, occupying most of the area of the first floor, with many decorative paintings hanging on the walls and many decorative plants.
"Is black tea okay?" Lady Misu brought a pot of black tea.
Gao De nodded, "Thank you."
"How should I address you?" Lady Misu poured a cup of black tea for Gao De, her eyes turning slightly.
"Google Ditu, ma'am, you can call me Google directly." Gao De had already thought of a pseudonym.
Although from the letters Misu sent to Master Seda, it can be roughly seen that Master Seda should not have told Misu about his specific actions in Hogen City, let alone specifically mentioned the apprentices in the herb garden.
It is thought that he did not want his wife to know about the evil deeds he had done, protecting his image in his wife's heart.
But what if? So to be safe, the mask must be there.
As for Mr. Marcel, it was also the name learned from the letter.
Misu happily shared with Master Seda in a letter two years ago: Tenant watchmaker Mr. Marcel gave her an exquisite watch strap before leaving Bremen City and returning to Kamond City.
This was the only tenant who gave her a gift when he left in all these years.
So she specifically mentioned it in the letter.
Gao De picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea.
It was not the delicate and elegant taste of black tea in his traditional cognition.
The taste of this cup of black tea was quite mellow, with a faint floral fragrance and a slight astringency. It should be a mixed tea, blended from several kinds of black tea.
"Very good black tea." He praised politely.
"How is Mr. Marcel recently?" Lady Misu asked with a smile.
"Not bad, he is enjoying his old age." Gao De dealt with it cautiously, answering as little as possible to avoid any information, so as not to reveal flaws, and quickly changed the subject: "Ma'am, do you have any houses that have not been rented out yet?"
Lady Misu laughed:
"It just so happens that a tenant moved out last month, saying that there are many opportunities in Hogen City below, and he wants to try his luck."
"The house is vacant, and I have been delayed by some things during this time, so I haven't found a new tenant yet."
"The specific location is 437 Kamond Street, but I remind you in advance that 437 is a terraced bungalow, with only one living room, a relatively simple kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and a large hall with a closet."
"Of course, this hall is definitely not as big as mine here."
"Ma'am, that's just right, I don't need such a big house by myself." Gao De said sincerely.
Gao De's straightforwardness made Lady Misu very satisfied, and she continued:
"The rent for the 437 house is 20 gold a year. I hope you pay at least half a year's rent at once. In addition, the furniture will charge you a deposit of 2 gold."
"However, for the sake of Mr. Marcel, I can not charge you a deposit."
"If you can accept it, we can go to see the house immediately." "Ma'am, your generosity is exactly the same as what Mr. Marcel said." Gao De expressed his gratitude to Lady Misu for waiving the deposit.
"This is a price I can accept, and I want to see the house now."
"Then let's go." Lady Misu nodded with satisfaction.
Clearly, Gao De's praise that didn't stop from beginning to end made Lady Misu very useful.
Gao De drank the black tea in the cup, then got up with Lady Misu and left her house.
"Sir." Leman, who was waiting at the door, greeted Gao De as soon as he came out.
Gao De nodded slightly.
"437 is just a short distance from here, let's walk over." Lady Misu said.
Under the guidance of Lady Misu, Gao De came to the house located at 437 Kamond Street.
Similarly, Leman was still waiting outside and didn't follow in.
Lady Misu opened the door, took Gao De into the 437 house, and looked around in detail inside and out.
Compared to Misu's house, the 437 house was obviously much smaller.
But it was also very good. The dining room had excellent lighting, the kitchen extended backward, and there was also a small balcony enough to dry clothes and plant flowers, which was an unexpected joy.
At least it was more than enough for one person to live in.
And inside the house, various furniture were complete, neat and clean.
Gao De nodded repeatedly, expressing satisfaction.
"Ma'am, let's rent it for half a year first."
When Lady Misu went out, she had already brought the lease, and immediately took it out, ready to sign the lease contract with Gao De.
"Mr. Google, what is your job?" Lady Misu asked before signing the contract.
This is background investigation.
If Gao De is engaged in any special profession, it may cause her losses. Out of risk considerations, she will not rent it out.
"I am a restoration craftsman." When going out, Gao De had already arranged his identity.
"The kind that can restore magic items?"
"Yes, but I can only restore the lowest-level magic items, just to make a living."
Lady Misu raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised, "You look very young, I didn't expect you to have mastered such profound craftsmanship."
Gao De laughed, "My father and grandfather both did this, and I learned from them since I was a child, so..."
Lady Misu's mouth curled up, no longer hesitating, she wrote down the time and rent on the contract, signed her name, and handed it to Gao De.
"You can entertain guests in the house, but try not to do it at night." She reminded.
"Also, if you are prepared to stay in Bremen City for a long time as a restoration craftsman, it is best to join the local craftsman guild."
"Although you have to pay some membership fees, compared to the benefits that joining the guild can bring, this membership fee is not worth mentioning."
"Okay, ma'am." After Gao De signed his big name "Google Ditu," he counted out 10 Saint Xi En gold coins with great pain and handed them to Lady Misu.
"There are clean quilts and bed sheets in the cabinet..." After putting away the lease, Lady Misu handed the key to Gao De and added a sentence, then prepared to leave: "It's getting late, and Ser is about to finish his lessons today, so I'll go back to prepare dinner first."
"If you have any problems or needs later, you can go to me again."
"Is Ser your son?" Gao De sent Lady Misu out, pretending to be casual.
"Yes, he is studying at the church school," Lady Misu showed a loving smile, "His grades are very good."
