"Someone important? That's your 'important person', not mine. Chen Jianqiu had already finished eating the burrito.

Honestly, the nachos and vegetables are crispy, and the bolognese sauce is delicious, which is, a little spicy.

"I'm sorry, I have more important things to do." Chen Jianqiu wiped his hands, stood up and prepared to leave.

He has been away from the mine for more than a week, and the return journey is a little faster, estimated to take two or three days.

Adam and Jerónimo should be almost ready.

"Five hundred! $500! ”

New York's first face can't be dropped, Astor stretched out a slap to Chen Jianqiu: "I'll give you an appearance fee of five hundred dollars." ”

Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment: "Where is the dance party at night?" ”

Astor breathed a sigh of relief.

Early this morning, he went to visit the big man asked by his father to inform him of the news that he had been rescued, who knows if that person had a strong interest in Chen Jianqiu and could call him to see him.

Astor agreed without even thinking about it.

If Chen Jianqiu really doesn't go, where will he and the Astor family's face go.

"Very close to the original Chamber of Commerce, on the west side of the city, Mr. McCall's mansion." Astor handed him a card.

This is an invitation with a detailed address on it.

"I'll be waiting for you there in the evening, and I'll go to Mr. Hunt's clothing store and get a set of clothes, and the money will be credited to me, I've told him." With that, Astor boarded his carriage.

He also had to prepare.

Chen Jianqiu returned to the hotel first, he picked up the brush and bucket, and cleaned up the black radish, this kind of thing he had never handed over to anyone else, because he didn't want to wait for the hotel guy to come and ask him for medical bills with a blue nose and a swollen face.

After settling down the black radish, Chen Jianqiu himself took a beautiful bath, cut his hair, and shaved his face.

Water is a scarce resource in New Mexico, and those who can take a bath must be wealthy.

So, the owner of the inn kept desperately hinting to him that there was a special service.

But Chen Jianqiu glanced at the "nightingales" standing in a row of tall, short, fat and thin in the corridor of the hotel, and decisively refused.

He even felt that he was panicked when these women saw their carcass.

After bathing, it's time to change clothes.

Mr. Hunt's clothing store was also not far from the Chamber of Commerce, and was easily recognizable, as there was a dummy in a dress standing outside the store.

The owner of the store seems to have no scruples about the wind and sand of Santa Fe, and this out-of-date marketing method has brought huge traffic to his store.

Chen Jianqiu walked into the store.

The store has two floors, and on the first floor, hangers are stocked with a wide variety of clothes, from everyday bib pants to denim to women's long skirts.

The store was crowded with people of different skin tones, and the clerk was busy greeting him, but he didn't see Chen Jianqiu for a while.

"Is Mr. Hunt here?" Chen Jianqiu stood at the door and shouted.

"I'm here!" A small old man with a tape measure around his neck appeared at the staircase on the second floor and beckoned to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu walked over.

"Mr. Astor has already ordered, saying that there will be a Chinese who will come to pick up the clothes, please come with me."

Mr. Hunt took Chen Jianqiu to the second floor.

The second floor is much quieter, and the walls are surrounded by display cabinets, and the hangers in the cabinets display all kinds of styles of dresses, all of which look very valuable.

In addition to dresses, there are also a variety of beautifully crafted eye masks and face shields, as well as other accessories such as bow ties.

"I'll measure it for you now." Mr. Hunt took off the tape measure hanging around his neck and measured the width of his shoulders and chest for Chen Jianqiu.

"Is it too late now?" Chen Jianqiu stretched out his arms and let the little old man's tape measure go around his chest.

"No, no, sir, it's definitely too late to make ready-made, but I have a few ready-made ones here, just change them a little."

The little old man quickly took the measurements, and exclaimed as he measured: "Sir, I really don't mean to compliment you, your figure is awesome, well-proportioned and strong. ”

"Are the people downstairs picking out Halloween clothes?" Chen Jianqiu diverted the topic.

"Oh, most of them are not, most of the people here will choose to sew their own clothes, and some rich people will also ask me to customize them. There are so many people below today, many of them are here to pick masks. ”

"I thought everyone was going to be wearing all kinds of weird costumes at the ball."

"No, no, no, it's a kid's trick, like tonight's ball at Mr. McCall's, it's just a social drinking party, except that at the end of the dance, everyone puts on their masks to set off the festive atmosphere."

Mr. Hunt finished his measurements, went into the back room, and began to look for a finished sample.

"What color do you like, sir?" His voice came from the back room.

"Well, it's dark red."

Chen Jianqiu replied as he began to visit Mr. Hunt's "collection".

A wooden half-face mask caught his eye.

He removed the mask from the shelf and looked back and forth in his hand.

This Indian-style mask looks a little weird, even a little hideous, like some kind of evil god.

"What do you think of this?" Mr. Hunt came out of the back room, carrying a dark red dress in his hand, and showed it to Chen Jianqiu.

"Yes." Chen Jianqiu glanced at it, "By the way, where did this mask come from?" ”

"Oh, this is a local Indian who sold it to me, saying what kind of dark god it is, alas, I don't understand, take it if you want it." Mr. Hunt shook his head and re-entered the back room.

He didn't quite understand the aesthetics of this young man, this mask was ugly and fierce, and no one cared about it all year long, I really don't know what was good.

It didn't take long for Chen Jianqiu's dress to be changed, and Mr. Hunt put it on for him in front of the mirror, with a bow tie and a hat.

The clothes fit very well, the craftsmanship of the old tailor really has nothing to say, Chen Jianqiu in the mirror has an outstanding temperament.

"It's your cane." Out of nowhere, Mr. Hunt came out of a delicate cane of oak.

How did the Yankees learn from the Europeans to use this?

"Thanks, no." Chen Jianqiu straightened his bow tie in front of the mirror, "How to settle the bill?" ”

"Mr. Astor has already paid for it." Mr. Hunt said humbly.

"Including this cane?" Chen Jianqiu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, sir."

"It's okay to change into clothes on the first floor, right?"

“.……”

Ten minutes later, Chen Jianqiu, who was wearing an "upper-class" suit, walked out of the door of the clothing store, attracting the sideways eyes of a group of pedestrians around, especially some girls.

It's a bit handsome indeed.

Chen Jianqiu walked over to the black radish and stuffed a set of bib pants and shirt into his saddle pocket.

He glanced up at the darkening sky.

It's almost time to go to the appointment.

He rolled over his horse and slowly swayed towards Mr. McCall's mansion.
