The first place Yun and Wei went to was a tailor shop.
They were careless; they didn't expect that the twins' appearance would attract attention from others.
In addition, their "strange costumes" made them the center of attention as soon as they arrived at the "Nine Heavens".
After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; it's definitely better to change into local clothes for a better travel experience.
So Yun Wei, in a panic, led Isaac into a tailor shop. Before entering, he took a closer look and saw the three large characters "Qifuju" on the plaque above the door.
He couldn't help but worry to himself, fearing that he might end up looking like a punk rocker.
But since he was already there, the shop owner greeted him warmly. The clothes in the shop were all quite stylish and well-made, which finally put his mind at ease.
In fact, Yun Wei had always admired the clothes of ancient times. One summer when he was a child, he would secretly drape a towel over his shoulders, cross the collar, and tuck it under his armpits to pretend to be dressed as an ancient person.
Now my wish has finally come true.
Having a "perfect copy" like Isaac by your side is even more effective than having a mirror.
The room was warm enough with a charcoal stove burning inside. Yun Wei sat on a three-legged stool, lazily urging her boyfriend to change his clothes.
To be honest, it was the first time for both of them to try such unique clothing, so they were both a little at a loss.
Fortunately, the boss was a kind-hearted person and was patiently teaching Isaac how to tie the inner rope on his waist.
This is somewhat different from my previous life. In my previous life, most shops would close for the New Year. But the people of Bili City, born in the high heavens and buried in the blue sea, grew up here and made their fortunes here, so they could keep their shops open until New Year's Eve.
I just bought two sets of winter clothes today.
Clothes for all four seasons are best made to fit the body. Having lived in Alchemy City for a long time, Yun Wei felt a surge of courage to shop after inquiring about the low prices in Bili.
Furthermore, before leaving, Sid gave him a substantial reward (the other party said that he would be paid according to the custom of Bili City, and gave him 8888 glittering gold coins), so he was naturally full of confidence.
While Isaac was busy, Yun Wei took a charcoal pencil and wrote down his and Isaac's sizes on the scraps of cloth the shopkeeper handed him.
Back when he was still in Alchemy City, he had planned to forge armor for the other party, so he specifically measured Isaac's size, although the process was very... embarrassing and heart-pounding.
Soon, Yun Wei took a liking to two sets of clothes.
He made Isaac put on the ochre-red outfit, while he himself took the lotus-green outfit that the other had just changed out of and put on.
Even the ready-to-wear clothes in the store are quite good.
He's 1.75 meters tall, so clothes are easy for him to buy.
Even though he was a bit thin, the clothes he wore added a touch of refined elegance to his appearance.
"How is it?" After changing into several layers of winter clothes, Yun Wei stretched out his hands, pinched the cuffs, turned around, and asked Isaac.
He was looking down at the ribbon around his waist. The auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on it, using some unknown technique, created a flowing illusion as the light and shadow shifted when viewed from different angles.
After a long silence, Yun Wei looked up and saw the other person staring at him intently, completely absorbed in the moment.
Yun Wei coughed lightly in dissatisfaction.
Isaac snapped out of his daze, gave him a deep look, and replied with utmost "obedience," "Brother looks good in anything."
That low, hoarse "brother" gave Yun Wei goosebumps.
Yun Wei glanced at the other person and said lightly, without expression, "Speak properly."
The shopkeeper, who was looking at the large order on the scraps of cloth with a smile, echoed without looking up, "The two young masters are so handsome that even the best craftsmanship in Bili City pales in comparison."
The clothing store owner must have had some confidence to open a shop in the 'Nine Heavens'. It's just a mystery where these two young men dressed in exotic attire came from…
Not to mention the three temples and twelve halls, he even recognized the officials in Tianji Mansion.
The two people in front of me were complete strangers.
He was puzzled, but asked calmly, "It will probably take more than a month to finish these clothes. Once they are finished, I will immediately send someone to deliver them to your residence, young master. But may I ask where you live, young master?"
Hearing this, Yun Wei, who was feeling embarrassed, lowered his eyes and thought about it seriously.
They probably won't stay in Azure City for long, since there's a major tournament in Alchemy City in early June to determine who will qualify.
He looked at the shopkeeper and asked softly, "Can it be sent to Alchemy City?"
In any case, they will return to Alchemy City before June, and the clothes that have been made will be sent there and they will receive them no matter what.
The boss was stunned.
When did the Azure People become able to settle in the Alchemy City?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He immediately replied with a smile, "Of course, I also have several caravans under my command, and we will be heading to the Golden Cloud Kingdom at the beginning of the year. Please fill in the address here, young master."
Yun Wei had no idea of the turmoil in his boss's heart. He simply picked up the purple bamboo silver brush and, on the order form that his boss had already copied, wrote down the address of the Sid Laboratory in a flamboyant and elegant style:
Golden Cloud Kingdom, Golden Plains of the Golden Dukedom, Mithril Street in the East District of Alchemy City, Sid's Residence.
"Beautiful handwriting!" the shopkeeper couldn't help but praise. When he saw the address, his excitement surged even higher. As one of the top merchants in Bili City, he naturally knew about the top alchemy master.
And this young master in front of me actually lives in the home of that alchemy master who is famous throughout the Western Continent!
Seeing the man's calm expression, he changed the subject, saying, "By the way, young master, about the deposit..."
He originally intended to waive the deposit and do the other party a favor.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wei waved his hand and said generously, "It's alright, I'll pay in full. I'll have to trouble you with the clothes."
What he was thinking was that Alchemy City was thousands of miles away, and the boss would inevitably feel uneasy about paying upon delivery.
Boss: "...No, no, it's my duty."
Okay, okay, you're rich, you can do whatever you want.
In the end, everyone was extremely satisfied.
Before they left, the owner gave each of them a cloak. The snow-white fur collar was said to be woven from the finest snow-white down from the East China Sea, and it looked incredibly warm.
Yun Wei carefully put away the receipt and left the shop with Isaac.
He was delighted, but when he looked back, he noticed the two vertical couplets outside the shop.
The text above reads:
I have loved these unusual clothes since I was young, and my love for them has not diminished even as I grow older.
It turns out to be a famous line by Qu Yuan.
In Yunwei's memory, this beauty, who was always accompanied by fragrant herbs, wore a tall hat and wide belt, a blue robe and long pendant, and was best dressed in fine clothes to adorn her noble character.
He then realized that the "strange clothes" in "Strange Clothes Residence" did not refer to strange or unusual attire, but rather to "unparalleled strange clothes, with bone structure corresponding to the picture".
...
"Where to next?" Isaac asked.
Yun Wei's cloak was wrapped tightly around him, and when he stood on the blue brick ground, he looked like a white, fluffy rice dumpling lying on a peeled green leaf.
"Colorful threads adorn the green bamboo leaves of the rice dumplings, and fragrant rice balls resemble white jade."
Isaac, however, wore the cloak as a cape, exuding an air of unparalleled boldness in every gesture.
Although their clothes were similar in style, they managed to exude completely different auras.
Yun Wei smiled and shook his head, simply saying, "It's lunchtime, let's go grab something to eat first."
