The purpose of this trip to the UK was to go to Savile Row to work with the tailor to re-measure the body and make the second version of the tailoring, followed by casual shopping.

"Prepare a Rolls-Royce for me, I'm going to Savile Row. ”

Chen Dongcheng commanded.

He had already eaten an in-flight meal before getting off the plane, and Chen Dongcheng was not hungry yet.

"I'll go and arrange it for you. ”

Layton smiled and nodded, and spoke with the concierge.

Soon, a Rollslas pulled up in front of the hotel.

Song Meng hadn't adjusted to the jet lag yet, and when she heard that Chen Dongcheng was going to a custom suit store, she stayed in the hotel with no interest and was ready to go to a spa.

Rolls-Royce sails to London's West End.

London's West End is traditionally a wealthy area and the first choice for many wealthy people to invest in real estate.

The hotel chauffeur is familiar with Savile Row, and there have been some guests who have come here in the past to opt for a bespoke suit.

"Sir, here we are. ”

The driver pulled over and looked at the back with a smile.

"Thank you. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded and got out of the car.

Xie Jingyu took out 50 pounds: "Find a place to wait for us." ”

Tipping in the UK is normal, and how you do it depends on the class of the hotel you're staying in.

Obviously, £50 isn't too much for a driver, but it's a considerable extra buck.

In December, London has entered winter.

People walking in the streets are hurrying, wrapping their bodies in heavy coats.

Even the usually well-dressed gentlemen had to wear an overcoat over their suits to withstand the biting cold of London.

Finding Anderson & Shepard's store, it doesn't look surprising.

Behind a glass cabinet are several black men's suits.

When you walk into the store, the first thing you can see is the various fabrics on the walls.

This is the first time Chen Dongcheng has seen the original appearance of this old store.

Berry, who was busy on the table, heard someone come in, looked up, and his expression became quite surprised.

"Chen, welcome to London. ”

Berry walked over with a smile and gave Chen Dongcheng a hug.

"Thanks, sorry for being so late. ”

The original appointment was November 29, but it has been delayed by Chen Dongcheng for 10 days.

Berry didn't mind at all, and motioned for the apprentice to prepare coffee.

"You may be seated. ”

Waiting for Chen Dongcheng to sit down, Berry took out a design drawing.

Chen Dongcheng knows that these are several sets of suits customized for himself.

"Chen, you have to know that the vast majority of Asians have flat bodies, although it is presumptuous. ”

Berry looked at Chen Dongcheng's figure with emotion: "I am very surprised by your figure, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have few models in the new product launch of many brands who are better than yours." ”

Chen Dongcheng hurriedly waved his hand: "You have a good reputation, can we start now?"

"Of course, as you wish. ”

Berry smiled and made a gesture of please, and the apprentice handed over a sample to try on.

Divided into several different colors, Berry motioned for Chen Dongcheng to casually evaluate the shortcomings of the try-on.

There was an apprentice next to him who was taking a serious note.

"Chen, have you done a lot of fitness this month?"

Berry looked puzzled and said, "I see that your figure has changed a lot from a month ago. ”

Chen Dongcheng didn't expect that improving his strength and agility would have such a big effect.

"Yes, I've had a lot of exercise in the last month. ”

Berry finally cleared the doubts in his heart, and said with some distress: "I need to take a new measurement of you, and the previous data needs to be corrected." ”

Chen Dongcheng shrugged: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Berry motioned to the apprentice for a ruler: "This is our duty. ”

Re-measuring the body data, Berry looked at a change from many of the previous measurements.

"God, it's good that you're here in London this time, otherwise it might really affect your plans. ”

Berry said happily, and then recorded the data and handed it to the apprentice.

"After a month, I'll bring you a finished product to try on, and after a few more adjustments, you'll have the finished product. ”

Berry glanced at the time: "Would you like to have a drink together?"

"No, I think I'm going to wear a few semi-custom suits next door. ”

Chen Dongcheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that you don't provide semi-customized services. ”

"Chen, you're our guest, and I think Anderson and Shepard's bespoke service is far superior to the rest. ”

Berry took Chen Dongcheng to see a few sets of suits on display, and said arrogantly.

"You can choose any of these styles, and I can cut them for you myself. ”

Chen Dongcheng was a little surprised, and gave Berry a big hug: "Berry, thank you very much." ”

Berry smiled and motioned for Chen Dongcheng to choose, and took a cup of coffee brewed by the apprentice and drank it.

Anderson and Shepard's brand is very hard, but it has always been fully customized to the outside world.

Semi-customization is to make appropriate modifications to the customer's body shape after the suit that has been ready for sale, and it will not be as time-consuming as full customization.

Tailors like Berry, one of London's top masters, simply don't bother to be involved in this kind of semi-customization.

In other suit shops, semi-customization is generally done by apprentices, and the master checks.

Well, the gap between the apprentice and the master's craftsmanship is so big that it tears up.

Now Berry is in a good mood and agrees to give Chen Dongcheng a few semi-customized sets.

Chen Dongcheng seized the opportunity and chose eight suits.

Navy blue, dark gray, gray blue, black, two sets of each.

The fabrics of the suits are the best in the store.

It can't reach the luxury of Chen Dongcheng's customization, but a suit costs about 5,000 pounds.

After reading it, Berry couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Chen, you choose so many suits, it's a bit repetitive." ”

Berry, who couldn't stand it, came over to help choose.

One set for each of the four colors, and four sets for casual suits.

Chen Dongcheng followed Berry's recommendation and chose more than a dozen shirts in the store.

Of these, white is the most, with occasional light blue pieces.

For leather shoes, Berry helped with a few oxfords, derbies and loafers.

If you have a tie, it will simply become a gift.

Match the color and style of several suits, and match one each.

Chen Dongcheng didn't remember how to match it, but Xie Jingyu remembered it very seriously.

If you don't remember something, you will ask it again and record it in your notebook.

All was done, the apprentice helped to calculate, and the total bill given was £120,000.

"Jingyu, swipe the card. ”

Chen Dongcheng just glanced at it, it was very cheap.

So many clothes, shoes, shirts add up, only 120,000 pounds, what a conscience.

Berry joked: "Chen, it seems that it will be difficult for me to be idle in the next few days." ”

"I'm staying in Korinthia during this time, so feel free to contact me if you need me to try on or measure my fit. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and told Berry the address.

Berry was surprised: "Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you should be staying in the loft suite?"

"No, the Presidential Suite. ”

After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking with a smile, he got up to say goodbye.

Berry looked at Chen Dongcheng's back for a while, and instructed the apprentice: "Take Chen's suit to my workbench first." ”

"Yes, Mr. Berry. ”

……

Back at the hotel, Song Meng was lying on the bed in the hotel watching TV.

"You're not sleepy, aren't you?"

Song Meng was wearing a mask on her face, watching Chen Dongcheng and them come back empty-handed.

"Where's the clothes?"

"It's being revised. ”

Chen Dongcheng said casually: "Go clean up, I booked a restaurant, two Michelin stars." ”

"Right now. ”

Song Meng took ten minutes, then got dressed and urged: "Let's go, I thought we wouldn't go to the restaurant for a while." ”

Book a restaurant at another famous hotel, Mandarin Oriental.

Although the restaurant is two stars, the chef is famous.

The restaurant is named after Chef Heston, who is also the head chef of another three-Michelin-starred restaurant.

Originally, the positioning of the restaurant was difficult, but with Corinthia's side, it still successfully helped Chen Dongcheng occupy a position.

Song Meng couldn't understand the menu, Chen Dongcheng ordered a few dishes, and then asked for a bottle of Cook Champagne.

The restaurant is very restrained and takes a retro low-key style.

If you look around, you can see that the faces at several tables are all Asian, and maybe some of them are domestic compatriots.

The sommelier poured champagne into the glasses of Chen Dongcheng and Song Meng.

After a while, the waiter came over with two plates of foie gras oranges.

The waiter did not put down the plate and leave, but told the origin of the dish in English next to him.

Song Meng blinked her eyes wide, and her English was level 4.

I heard the waiter say a long list, but I didn't understand.

Chen Dongcheng understands that the idea of this foie gras orange comes from a meat pie dish in 1500.

Including when ordering, Chen Dongcheng noticed that almost every dish has a year behind it.

Think of the restaurant's slogan, "Revival of British Cuisine."

There are even a few dishes, and the source of the creativity is the cuisine of the 14th century.

I have to say that this chef's brain hole is still very strong.

Hearing the waiter's introduction, the foie gras in the shape of an orange in front of me, which was originally beautiful and interesting, suddenly had a sense of history.

Still, you have to eat it.

Cut a piece and put it in your mouth.

The foie gras is very delicately processed, and combined with the sweet and sour citrus of the orange, it has a strong sense of layering.

"Wow, it's so cute, I can't even bear to eat it. ”

Song Meng took a few photos, holding a knife and fork in her hand.

Seeing Chen Dongcheng feasting, he couldn't help but move the knife.

"It smells so good!"

Chen Dongcheng couldn't help laughing, and Song Meng blushed: "No matter how delicious it is, it can't be wasted." ”

The waiter didn't understand Chinese, just smiled and went about preparing the main course.

This foie gras orange can only be regarded as an appetizer, which has already whetted the appetite of Chen Dongcheng and Song Meng.

A red wooden plate was presented with a medium-rare T-bone steak on top, and the meat of the steak was delicious, which pleased Chen Dongcheng.

Song Meng was also very happy to eat: "It's much better than the plane meal." ”

"Well, British Airways' in-flight meals do need to be improved. ”

Chen Dongcheng thought about the return ticket or British Airways, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Forget it, we'll try a few more in the next few days. ”

"Well, I heard that there is a Western restaurant in London that is owned by Ramsay, and it is highly rated. ”

Chen Dongcheng knew the reputation of Ramsey, the god of hell's kitchen, and he also had some expectations.

However, the location may not be easy to decide.

"Positioning a three-Michelin-starred restaurant is a problem, let's get back to it. ”

Song Meng watched the waiter bring another main dish, and the pink pigeon made people drool when they looked at it.

When it comes to the handling of poultry, Chef Heston at this restaurant is definitely an expert.

Chen Dongcheng asked for medium doneness, and with the chef's special sauce, it was full of fragrance and tenderness, and it felt like eating tofu.

This dish is not small, it is a classical dish from 1780.

Now it has been taken out, and it has become very innovative after the chef's ingenious conception.

At the end of the day, Chen Dongcheng ordered a molecular ice cream for Song Meng before.

The waiter came to make it on the spot with a food truck, full of boos, and the taste was okay.

Finally, after eating, the waiter took the bill.

Chen Dongcheng took a look, the price is really not cheap.

Eating at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in London, of course, the bottle of Cook champagne that Chen Dongcheng asked for was the main one.

Satisfied with the service, Chen Dongcheng gave a 15% tip, spending a total of 11,000.

If you want to live a high quality of life, it is impossible without the support of money.

Back in the presidential suite, Chen Dongcheng certainly didn't forget what he brought Song Meng to London for.

was teased by the flight attendant on the plane, but the flight attendant was too open, which scared Chen Dongcheng.

Women abroad are really open.

Who knows how many people they have been in a relationship with.

So, it's still Song Meng's fragrance.
