Before the beautiful young lady could tremble, tighten her legs and lean against the counter to enjoy the sage's moment, a hand pinched her face and pushed her back hard. While she was struggling in panic due to losing her balance, trying to hold on to something, through her fingers, she saw the good-looking young man in white clothes and another guy who was obviously timid walking towards the last partition.
For God's sake, that's Mr. Duma's workshop!
Duma. After omitting some meaningless rhetoric and adding the surname Paul, he is currently the main tailor and person in charge of Paul's clothing store in Turnel City. The success of Paul's clothing store has made this small clothing store already in the empire. Almost all the major cities in the southeast have such "Paul ready-made clothes". The power of capital finally exploded after the New Party succeeded in usurping the throne. In order to continuously expand its territory and cope with the limited family population during the expansion process, the patriarch of the Paul family formulated a plan for his two sons and two daughters. Require.
That is the "Apprentice Inclusion Plan". The old patriarch believes that if there are suitable and talented apprentices, they can be incorporated into the family as in-laws and become their own, and then continue to expand the influence and territory of Paul Garments for the family. This plan has to be said to be a very wise plan. The tailors have trained apprentices, but if there are no restrictions, the apprentices will leave here after completing their studies, and then find a store elsewhere to start their first business in their lives.
It is also what handicraft practitioners call the "shameless first time" in these years.
Why was Dulin not able to become an apprentice in any craft shop? Because he has not yet reached the standard of "preaching", to put it simply, when the inheritor selects an apprentice, he actually selects an heir, or even his own descendant, so every apprentice is carefully selected. There are strict controls. Very few apprentices are willing to accept the "exploitation" and "oppression" of their inheritors after learning the craft. They are willing to give up what they already have and start over. At least everything they do at that time is for themselves, not others. who.
The girl is such a lucky person. Mr. Duma's eldest son is sixteen years old this year, two years younger than the girl. He feels that having a well-behaved and smart girl who can take care of his son for the rest of her life is a very worthwhile investment. . What's more important is that as long as she has the skills and ability to run a shop independently after the two get married, she will be able to ensure that her eldest son will have enough food and clothing for at least this life. It is really a cost-effective investment, isn't it
Of course, Dulin has no idea about all this. He just wants to find the best tailor in this ready-to-wear shop to make it for himself, for Mason, for Dover, for Ellis, and for that idiot Graf. Two decent outfits. As for the rest? That's not something he should consider.
Mr. Duma is thirty-seven years old this year. He is slightly thin, has dry skin, and some superficial wrinkles. His hair is very fluffy. He looks like he has been taking care of himself frequently. He wears a pair of glasses and is lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed. rest. It wasn't until he walked into this partition that Du Lin discovered that the light source that looked very bright from the outside was actually not omnidirectional. In fact, half of it was blocked by the lampshade, which ensured that most of the partition was awakened by soft light, while the other half was always illuminated. On a translucent screen.
He knocked on the table politely, and the knocking sound immediately woke Mr. Duma up from his resting state. He suddenly sat up, and his gold-rimmed glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose due to his violent movements. Fortunately, There is a metal chain tied to the temples on both sides of the glasses, otherwise they will definitely be smashed to pieces. He stood up, put on his glasses, and bowed with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I've been working all morning and I'm a little tired. I'm so sorry. All orders today are 10% off."
The moment he lowered his head, his expression changed and then adjusted back. That damn girl, didn’t she know to come over in advance and remind him? Being disrespectful in front of distinguished guests is really a very bad thing! Deduct her salary!
Du Lin was very satisfied with this "old gentleman"'s attitude towards work. He pointed at himself first and then at Mason, "Hello, we need two formal suits for the dinner. We hope to make them as soon as possible. If possible, If you want to speed up, then it’s better to speed up.”
Mr. Duma dutifully picked up a notebook on the table. He was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly laughed and said: "It's so rude. Look, I haven't asked you or this gentleman's name yet...", in After Dulin told him, he wrote Dulin's name and his requirements in his notebook, and then asked Dulin to stand under the particularly bright light and start measuring the body.
He gestured with his hands and asked various questions. The whole process lasted about ten minutes. He just finished asking his questions. After that, he quickly cut out a formal suit from some pieces of paper and fixed it with needle and thread, and placed it in front of Dulin.
"Mr. Dulin, you see, this is the formal style I designed for you. I adopted the simple style that became popular in the south and central areas this spring, and removed the dark edge structure of the front collar that was favored by many gentlemen. , it looks more grand. At the same time, I slightly adjusted the width of the sword collar to reflect the vitality you should have at your age. With the purple ribbon on the edge of the pocket, it adds some youthful vitality without looking too much. Too frivolous, with a touch of nobility and solemnity... "
Du Lin raised his hand at this time, and Du Ma immediately closed his mouth, bent slightly and smiled with a listening look, "I don't like purple." Yes, Du Lin didn't like purple, because purple made him Reminds me of that sissy guy in Delisle. The way that guy was dressed in purple was so girly that it was impossible to look directly at him.
Duma immediately showed an expression of realization and nodded vigorously, "If you don't like purple, are you satisfied with the color dark brown?"
About twenty minutes later, Du Lin was sweating on his forehead before Du Ma finished his final narration. This made Du Lin sigh. Fortunately, this shop did not accept him as an apprentice. He really might not be able to do it. Got this!
Next was Mason. After nearly forty minutes, the two paper "samples" were completely finalized. Mr. Duma calculated the price and reported the price to Dulin, "Mr. Dulin, four sets of formal suits plus For the jewelry rental agreement provided by Empire Jewelry Store, you need to pay a total of 3,700 yuan. Because of my rudeness and the staff's mistakes, you have certain misunderstandings and possible dissatisfaction. I make the decision, and you only need to pay 3,700 yuan. Three hundred dollars is enough.”
"I need to remind you here that the jewelry rental fee of Empire Jewelry is not included in the calculation. You need to go to any Empire Jewelry store with the agreement and pay the rental fee to get all the jewelry, and there will be someone to wear it for you. You Do you have any other questions?"
Du Lin glanced at Mr. Duma and laughed, "You are a smart person. I like smart people. Now I want to apply for five more membership cards. Is it possible?"
Duma acted as if he didn't know anything and took it for granted, "Of course, it is the Paul family's honor that you can come to our store. It does not cost you anything. I will give you five membership cards immediately without any expiration date." , available nationwide!”
