Chapter 110 Customization
Before the beautiful young lady could tremble, she tightened her legs against the counter to enjoy the sage time, and a hand pinched her face and pushed her back hard. She struggled to hold on to something in a panic under the effect of losing her balance, and through her fingers, she saw the good-looking young man in white walking towards the last partition with another fellow who was visibly cowering.
God is above, and that is Mr. Duma's workplace!
Duma omitted some meaningless rhetoric and added the surname Paul is currently the main tailor and head of the Paul Ready-to-Wear Store in Turnaire City, and the success of Paul's Ready-to-Wear Store has made this small ready-to-wear shop have such "Paul's Ready-to-Wear" in almost all major cities in the south-east of the empire. After the success of the New Party's usurpation of the throne, the patriarch of the Paul family made a request for his two sons and two daughters, in order to continue to expand the territory and cope with the limited number of family members in the process of expansion.
That is, the "Apprenticeship Inclusion Plan", the old patriarch believes that if there is a suitable and talented apprentice, he can be included in the family in the form of in-laws, become his own people, and then continue to expand the influence and territory of Paul's ready-to-wear for the family. The plan was a very wise plan, the tailors trained apprentices, but if there were no restrictions, they would leave the place after the apprenticeship and find a store elsewhere to start their first business.
It is also the so-called "shameless first" in the mouth of handicraft practitioners in these years.
Why didn't Dührin become an apprentice in any handicraft shop? Because he had not yet met the standard of "preaching", to put it simply, when the inheritor selected an apprentice, he actually chose an heir, or even his own descendant, so each apprentice was carefully selected and strictly controlled. Very few apprentices are willing to accept the "exploitation" and "oppression" of the inheritors after learning the craft, and they are willing to give up what they already have and start over, at least at that time everything they do is for themselves and no one else.
The girl was one such lucky person, and Mr. Duma's eldest son, who was sixteen years old this year, two years younger than the girl, felt that it was a very worthwhile investment to have a well-behaved girl who could spend the rest of her life taking care of her son. What's more, after the two get married, as long as she has the skills and ability to independently hold up a shop, then she will be able to ensure that his eldest son will have no worries about food and clothing at least for the rest of his life, which is really a good investment, isn't it?
Of course, Durin had no idea about all this, and he wanted nothing more than the best tailor in the ready-to-wear shop to make two decent outfits for himself, for Mason, for Dover, for Ellis, and for that idiot at Graff. As for the rest? That's not what he's supposed to think about.
Mr. Duma is thirty-seven years old, he is a little thin, his skin is very dry, he has some superficial wrinkles, his hair is very fluffy, he seems to be in constant maintenance, he wears a pair of glasses, and he is resting in a rocking chair with his eyes closed. It wasn't until he walked into the partition that Durin realized that the light source that looked bright from the outside was not actually omnidirectional, in fact, half of it was obscured by the lampshade, ensuring that most of the soft light in the partition woke up, while the other half was always shining on the translucent screen.
He knocked on the table politely, and the sound of the knock immediately woke Mr. Duma from his rest, and he sat up suddenly, and the gold-rimmed glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose with his violent movements, but fortunately a metal chain was attached to the legs of the glasses, otherwise they would have been shattered. He stood up and put on his glasses and owed a smile with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I've been working in the morning, I'm a little tired, I'm so sorry, all orders today are all 10% off." ”
The moment he lowered his head, his face changed and he adjusted again. That damn girl, don't you know to come and warn him in advance? It's really a very bad thing to be rude in front of an honored guest!
Satisfied with the "old gentleman's" attitude towards work, Durin pointed first at himself and then at Mason, "Hello, we need two formal suits for the dinner, we hope to be able to do it as soon as possible, if it can be speeded up, then it is better to speed it up." ”
Mr. Duma dutifully picked up a notebook on the table, shook it for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled and said: "It's too rude, look, I haven't asked you and this gentleman for a ...... of their names until now", after Duhrin told him, he wrote Durin's name in the notebook, as well as his request, and then let Dührin stand under the particularly bright lamp, and began to measure the work.
He gestured with his hand and asked various questions, and the whole process lasted about ten minutes. His question was just finished. After that, he quickly cut out a formal suit with some pieces of paper, fixed it with a needle and thread, and placed it in front of Durin.
"You see, Mr. Doolin, this is the style of my formal dress for you, and I have adopted the minimalist style that has become popular in the south and central this spring, and has removed the dark edge of the front collar that was previously favored by many gentlemen, and it looks more atmospheric. At the same time, I slightly adjusted the width of the collar to reflect the vigor of your age, and with the purple ribbon on the side of the pocket, it is more youthful and energetic, but not too frivolous, and a little more noble and solemn......"
Dulin raised his hand at this time, and Duma immediately closed his mouth, bent down slightly and smiled to show a listening look, "I don't like purple." "Yes, Durin doesn't like purple because it reminds him of Delier's sissy, and that guy looks so purple that he can't look at him directly.
Duma immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and he nodded vigorously, "If you don't like purple, then are you happy with the dark brown color?"
About twenty minutes later, Durin's head was sweating before Duma finished the final narrative, which made Dulin sigh, fortunately this shop didn't accept him as an apprentice, he really didn't have to do this!
Next is Mason, also close to forty minutes later, the two paper "samples" were completely finalized, Mr. Duma calculated and quoted the price to Dulin, "Mr. Dulin, four sets of formal wear plus the jewelry rental agreement provided by the Imperial Jewelry Store, you need to pay a total of three thousand seven hundred yuan, because of my rudeness and the mistakes of the staff, you have a certain misunderstanding and possible dissatisfaction, I am in charge, you only need to pay three thousand three hundred yuan." ”
"I need to remind you here, the rental fee of the Imperial Jewels is not counted, you need to take the agreement to any Imperial Jewel to pay the rental fee to complete all the ornaments, and have someone to wear them for you, do you have any questions?"
Durin glanced at Mr. Duma and laughed, "You are a smart person, I like smart people, now I want to get five more membership cards, I don't know if it can be?"
Duma looked as if he didn't know anything, and he took it for granted, "Of course, it is an honor for the Paul family that you can come to the store, and I don't need any cost to you, I will immediately give you five membership cards, without any expiration date, and for the whole country!"
