089 First Contact

The narrow Chester Street is not spacious, and only one carriage is allowed to pass through in one row. The noisy crowds coming and going often tend to walk more, and park their accompanying carriages on the north-south road next door:

Although walking is indeed inconvenient, it seems to be a rude requirement for the noble elites; over time, a unique custom has been formed, where gentlemen and ladies can show their fashion taste and temperament, as if they are like models' booths.

If you are interested in the trend of fashion that changes every year, then coming to Chester Street to watch and learn from the scriptures is the easiest way.

Of course, every gentleman and lady who come to Chester Street to "walking" must also be mentally prepared to become the subject of others' observation. A little mistake may be placed under a magnifying glass for scrutiny. Once there is a deviation in dressing, social occasions of the upper class will soon be widely circulated.

Jasmine, downstairs of Hoden's house, always hoped that she could come to Chester Street for an afternoon without entering the store. It was enough to squat on the corner to appreciate the coming and goings, and she feasted her eyes. Unfortunately, while time did not allow it, she did not have enough beautiful clothes to show herself.

At this time, you can see young boys and girls walking on the stage excitedly or introvertedly, proudly or low-key, bathing in the sight of looking and exploring, bursting out youthful vitality, and looking forward to the upcoming return-to-school dance.

Hoden and Robben don’t have much presence when they travel through it.

The school uniform of Sekpes Academy does not seem outdated or down-and-out, but it also lacks personal characteristics and is far from being fashionable. In addition, the lazy and low-key Hoden and silent Robben, the aura around them has been restrained. They are naturally not attracted much attention when they are among a group of peacocks.

The "Adrian's tailor shop" is not the best geographical location. It is located on the west side of Chester Street. It is not a shop that can be visited by customers immediately after turning around and entering the street. However, Chester Street is not long, only less than 200 meters in front and back. Even if it is "bad" position, you can move into this street and survive, and you will have one of your own specialties.

"Ah Yeh."

When his footsteps were about to reach his destination, Robben could not help but sneeze suddenly, and his nose turned red in a somewhat embarrassing way.

It can be guessed without asking the reason. Robben should have been smoked by the rich perfume smell. Various perfume smells mixed together, not only rich but also complex, and it is indeed unbearable. Horden, whose sense of smell is more sensitive than before, suffered even more. He almost held his breath and walked along the way.

Robben noticed Hoden's smile-like look, chose to ignore Hoden, and walked straight around Hoden, walked up the steps, and pushed open the door of the store.

Huo Deng also followed him in, and the rich fragrance on the street was isolated behind him - indoors were more comfortable than outdoors, which was also a rare experience.

“Welcome to 'Adrian's tailoring shop, can I ask if I can help you?”

The golden brown lacquered wood decoration, the dark blue floral patterned carpet and navy blue as the interior combination made the whole atmosphere settle.

Robben, who was walking in front of him, waited for a moment. He thought Hodden would speak on his own initiative, but he did not expect that Hodden was quietly looking at the decoration of the tailor shop, and he had no intention of paying attention to it, so he had to do it.

According to the previous idea, Robben said they needed to customize suits for the homecoming dance party, and the front desk guy who was responsible for receiving guests immediately smiled knowingly.

"If you customize your suits now, it will take at least three weeks to receive them. Why don't you try the suits you have made in the store and choose the suit you like, and then we will adjust them according to your size and can receive them before the return to school dance. What do you think?"

Obviously, there have been many students who have made a special trip to Chester Street to return to school dances in recent times, and the nobles have been ready for a long time; and ordinary students who have temporarily crammed have become the mainstream-

However, the price of customized suits is much more expensive, often tripling or even five times. For ordinary students, even if they have enough time, they will be more inclined to choose suits in the store.

"No problem." Robben's mind was not on the suit at all, so he nodded casually and agreed.

At this moment, Hoden was carefully looking at the surrounding scene:

This is a very ordinary tailor shop. At least from the surface, there is no abnormality. But Hoden also understands that even if the tailor shop really hides a dark room or a mechanism, it is not so easy to be discovered.

Moreover, he and Samuel came to the tailor shop to make suits before, and there was no accident, which also means that the tailor shop itself should be fine.

If the tailor shop really hides some secrets, then the clue should also be...

"Also, he needs to book a set of work clothes for Mr. Harford's dinner."

Some fragments of the picture flashed through Huoden's mind, and captured them keenly, then lowered his voice to the front desk guy.

In the entire tailor shop, there are three tailor apprentices working and serving different guests; then there is the guy who is responsible for registration and reception at the front desk.

Assuming that the breakthrough really exists, it must be the front desk guy.

really!

The front desk guy looked up at Huo Deng, raised his eyebrows gently, and a clear look appeared in his eyes, "No problem. Is it for next month's dinner?"

"Yeah." Hoden said affirmation.

The front desk guy put the guest profile list on the table and put it aside; then took out another profile list from the drawer, opened it directly, and quickly started registering on it, "His name?"

"…William Gibson." Hoden made a name randomly.

"age?"

"eighteen."

But this is not over yet.

"The name of the introducer."

Hoden was about to make another name aside, but he caught a trace of inspiration in his mind, and a name blurted out, "Nick Nightingale."

The front desk guy lowered his head and quickly completed the registration. He did not close the archive list immediately, but waited for the ink stain to dry up; he did not seem to be afraid of Huo Deng's gaze.

The front desk guy raised his head and smiled at Huoden, "Everyone is eager to go to the banquet, this is a good opportunity to reach the top in one step."

Frank and sincere are just chatting and teasing between the owner and the customer. It brings each other closer together, which is also an important part of the front desk work.

Judging from the expressions and actions of the front desk guy, he should only be responsible for recording, but he doesn't know what this archive list means.

Huoden didn't understand, but he still needed to read it himself to confirm the details. So, what should he do?
