Chapter 21 Shopping

Annick walked home tiredly, and the two sisters were already waiting for him at the door. Recently, he has been busy at work and has not had a good meal with them for a long time.

"I didn't expect our brother to look much more heroic when he puts on his uniform, haha. Let's go home for dinner," Irina said.

"There won't be any fish tonight, I'm going to vomit after eating fish for several days in a row." Annick said with a smile.

After the three brothers and sisters finished dinner, Annick slumped on the bench. Irena handed him a letter.

After getting it, I noticed that the wax seal was the official seal of the Konya District Police Department. What kind of official document was this?

When he opened it, he saw a simple piece of paper scattered from the notebook, and a piece of cardboard wrapped in white cloth. Annick started to read the note.

my little brother

Your work in the branch is going well. Parker is my old subordinate. I believe he will take good care of you. This time I am writing to you from our old senior. Your mentor Russell gave me two invitations.

City Council Member Mr. Carter Clark’s daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony, I hope I will take you with me to attend.

Remember to bring a walking stick to a gathering of gentlemen and ladies. If you have a female companion, you can bring it. If not, we can introduce you to some ladies.

The specific time is starting from the afternoon of this weekend. You can first come to the Konya Police Station to find me.

Your senior Ron

My mentor and senior senior teacher really looked at me, and I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at the invitation in my hand. I do have a female companion, but I have one more.

"Two ladies, the cram school doesn't have classes on weekends. Are you interested in attending a party with your dear brother?" Annick shouted to the two sisters who were still clearing the table.

"What kind of party is this fun? A cram school is more strict than a church school, and my poor little head can't even fit it in."

Irina rushed forward and looked at Annik with her shining eyes as if she could speak.

"I don't know if the city councilor's baby daughter's coming-of-age ceremony is fun or not. After all, you guys have grown up with dirt. There should be a lot of luxurious food, and it shouldn't be a big problem to fill your stomach." An

Nick replied with a smile.

"Irina, you go, I won't go. Generally, you are only allowed to bring one female companion." Irina said at the dining table.

"Why bring only one female companion? I looked through the invitation and it didn't say that only one is allowed. We are not going empty-handed. The congressman's baby daughter's coming-of-age ceremony will definitely require a gift. We, the three siblings, cannot suffer any loss. We are going

Eat it back."

"Pfft, I'm even wondering if our second brother has been replaced."

"Go to bed early. I hope you will help me buy some gifts tomorrow. I will buy you two new hats by the way." Annick waved his hand.

On September morning, Annick was pulled up by the two excited sisters and put on the dark blue police uniform he usually wore.

"Why are you still wearing a police uniform today?" Irina asked in confusion.

"Will you make a counter-offer? Or do you know the reasonable price of the cane and hat?" Annick explained.

The third brother and sister found a relatively large clothing store on Wallen Street. The name of the store was also very simple, called "Warren Gentleman's Clothing Store".

The world's most famous detectives all hold a walking stick in their hands. The layout of the cloakroom is such that formal clothes are in the front row, shirts are in the middle, and smaller items such as top hats and leather shoes are in the back.

When the clerk saw a customer above him, he immediately asked with a hat on his face: "Dear Sheriff and Madam, what do you want to buy?"

"I need a cane, and my two sisters need top hats. What do you recommend?" Annick replied.

"Ladies, please go to the back with our staff. There are enough top hats there. Sheriff, do you have any canes you want?"

After the male staff member finished speaking, he pointed to the female staff member next to him, and Sister Irena followed her to the hat area at the back.

"It should be light and low-key." Annick didn't want to hold a heavy thing, which would consume a lot of energy.

"Then I recommend this one. The main body of the handbag is made of iron pear wood. The handle is inlaid with gold and has an amethyst." The clerk took out a cane inlaid with gold and Annick waved it. The weight was quite good.

"How much?"

"It's five pounds and one shilling. If you buy it, since the gentleman is a public servant of the king, I believe he will wipe off the change for you when the store manager comes back. Cane cleaning and repair services are included."

Annick almost spat out a mouthful. A stick cost him ten days a week's wages. He could only pretend to say:

"The weight may not be appropriate, and the gold is too ostentatious. You know that our public servants cannot hold canes that are too ostentatious."

The clerk seemed to understand what Annick meant. He put away the iron pear wood cane and took out a few silver-inlaid hand tents to show Annick. "The ones here are made of cherry wood, birch wood and maple wood. They are all made of cherry wood, birch wood and maple wood.

Inlaid with silver, you can try it."

Annick finally chose the cherry wood cane inlaid with silver. It has a red main body and a silver handle. It is light to swing and most importantly, it only costs 1 pound, which is 5 times cheaper than the previous one. It is just a decorative thing and is completely used.

It's not that expensive.

"Brother, does this hat suit me?" Irena asked, and two people walked out from behind. One was a gray bowler hat with flowers, and the other was a black bowler hat with a bow.

"I don't think there are any girls in Eggsburg who are prettier than my two sisters. Whatever you bring will suit you." As a science and engineering geek in my previous life, I didn't know much about aesthetics at all.

At this time, a man in black formal clothes opened the door and came in. The male clerk greeted him:

"Manager, there are three distinguished guests here who need you to greet them personally."

The man hung up his hat and walked quickly. Seeing the police uniform Annick was wearing, he asked politely:

"Dear Sheriff, do you have any questions? Our Warren Gentleman's Clothing Shop is here to serve you wholeheartedly."

"Well...can the price be cheaper?" Annick pondered for a while.

"Wait a moment, if you don't need packaging, we can give you another five cents cheaper. Please wait while I calculate the total price of the three items."

"We just buy it for daily use, no packaging required." Annick replied pretending to be casual.

"Okay, the original price of the three pieces is 2 pounds, 1 shilling and 5 pence. I'll wipe off the change for you and only charge you 2 pounds." The store manager replied.

When Annick heard this, he was no longer prepared to discuss the price. He took out two one-pound notes and looked at King George with the name of the Holy King printed on them. Suddenly, he felt that his mustache was not so cute.

"Next let's buy a gift for the congressman's daughter. Do you have any suggestions? It's not expensive and it's a gift." Annick said while looking at the gold pound in his pocket.

"Perfume, it can be used every day, and it's not too expensive." Irena replied.

"Take it away and let's go take a look."

The three siblings ended up spending four pounds on a bottle of rose-scented perfume.
