Captain Genaro Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Previously: New Arrivals and Old Rivalries Just a small bakery in Lavalette. Comments and criticism are welcome. The one nice thing about working at six-thirty in the morning, the dockhand thought to himself, was that you didn't have to deal with the full heat of the sun. That and there weren't any ladies around to hear you curse every time a chest fell on your foot, an experience this particular dockhand could tell you from quite a bit of experience wasn't pleasant. P1110216 (2) by Capt. Genaro, on Flickr Fortunately that experience did not repeat itself this morning, as the dockhand successfully carried the black sack of flour several blocks from the bustling quay to the new bakery. After briefly pausing to enjoy the smell of bread baking in the warm, humid tropical air, he continued to the bakery. Arriving at the door, he gently maneuvered his arm against the latch until he felt it give way. With a gentle push, he opened the door and upon entering announced "flour from the docks, sir." P1110218 by Capt. Genaro, on Flickr "Just a moment, one moment now" cried the baker. "I'll be with you in a moment;." Seeing that the baker was busy attending to something baking in the oven, the dockhand set the sack down and looked around. It was a simple shop with a few loaves of bread resting on crates, several sacks in the corner, and the baker's son helping to kneed the dough. "Now then, how may I assist you fine sir?" asked the baker. "But of course, you must be from the docks" continued the baker, answering his own question before the dockhand could even open his mouth. "The usual amount then" continued the baker as he took out a small purse and began counting coins. "And there you, are five-twelfths doubloons" said the baker as the dockhand put four of the coins into a small bag he would return to the ship's master while sliding the fifth into his pocket. P1110220 by Capt. Genaro, on Flickr "Thank you kindly" said the dockhand tipping his hat. "And before I go, how much for a croissant" he said, pointing to the delicious food that, only a moment before was sitting in the oven. "This is embarrassing, but I'm afraid those aren't for sale" relied the baker in an apologetic tone. "Those are for the funeral." A puzzled look came over the dockhand's face as he asked "funeral?" "Yes, Father Leon's funeral, oh and to think his leg was just starting to get better. What terrible luck. But I digress. Apparently," the baker went on. "Apparently Charon's obol isn't enough for this fellow. Heck, I've never heard of giving the dead food for their voyage, but if the Company wants to pay for the dead to eat, so be it." "Surely the living need to eat more than the dead," replied the dockhand. The baker apologetically shrugged his shoulders before saying "the best I can do is to offer you a baguette. But now, you must excuse me. I fear my son is not properly kneading the dough." Two overview shots. P1110215 by Capt. Genaro, on Flickr P1110212 by Capt. Genaro, on Flickr Quote

blackdeathgr Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Excellent build! Simple as a bakery should be, yet detailed. Croissants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Capt Wolf Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I like this type of build with an attractive exterior and an interior detailing the structure's function. I love the rough stone look of the chimney, and the oven itself looks the part. Excellent MOC! Quote
Kwatchi Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 That is a very nice bakery you've constructed. Good job! Quote
Ayrlego Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 A very attractive little bakery, I really like it and will be referencing the oven when I finally getting around to building one myself! Great job! Quote

We're certainly willing to let you spend your DBs here. On 1/29/2017 at 5:59 AM, blackdeathgr said: Excellent build! Simple as a bakery should be, yet detailed. Thank you. Seeing as the settlement is young and relatively undeveloped, I believe a simple building is most appropriate.

I can't wait to see what your bakery looks like. Quote
Captain Dee Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Neat bakery. I like that two-wall building style and the interior details are excellent. The chimney and window are both well built and that tiled roof looks nice. Builds like this are great for showing everyday life. Keep it up. Quote
